Infinite Realms: From Resident Evil and Beyond

　　…

　　"Um!"

　　Ji Ruxue blushed and nodded slightly, shrinking her body nervously. She was still a little shy to be hugged by Shen Ye in public.

　　But she felt at ease in this position, and she had the veil wrapped around her face again, so outsiders couldn't see her appearance, so she quickly relaxed, and then gently kicked the horse's belly with her heel to make the horse move, whispering:

　　"Hold...hold me tight."

　　Shen Ye nodded nonchalantly, with one arm around Ji Ruxue's slender waist and the other hand holding the reins of another horse, his chin resting on her uninjured shoulder, and it was unclear whether he was really learning.

　　After carrying their horses for only one street, Shen Ye had almost mastered the basic horse-riding movements. He sniffed the natural fragrance of the girl and whispered in her ear, "It's not that difficult. I think I've mastered it. Why don't you get back on your mount and let me try it alone?"

　　The hot breath spraying in her ears made Ji Ruxue's body slightly weak, her heart felt numb, and her mind seemed to become blank. After listening to Shen Ye's words, she forced herself to be alert and said, "How... How can it be that fast? We have only ridden a short distance and haven't even left the city yet. It's impossible for us to learn it that quickly."

　　Ji Ruxue's words made Shen Ye feel a little helpless. This was forcing him to say that he had not learned it. However, he did not want to argue, so he nodded and said, "Then let's leave the city first."

　　"Okay, Brother Shen!"

　　Ji Ruxue nodded again, but she started to make small movements with her hands. She pulled the reins imperceptibly, making the horse, which was originally jogging, change to a slow walk.

　　Feeling the obvious decrease in speed, Shen Ye knew what the girl was thinking without having to guess. He laughed secretly in his heart and felt a little moved, but still did not say anything. He just quietly loosened the reins of the other horse, put his arms around Ji Ruxue's waist with both hands, and pressed her hard into his arms.

　　After riding through several streets, the two men saw the city gate of Yuzhou City.

　　However, at this moment, a group of Xuanming Cult assassins on war horses suddenly appeared on another street at the city gate. When they saw Shen Ye and Ji Ruxue, one of the assassins who had participated in the attack on Huanyinfang Yuzhou base that night suddenly pointed at Ji Ruxue and shouted, "Boss, look, that woman is the one we are looking for."

　　"Chase and stop them."

　　When the leading killer heard this, he immediately whipped the horse's butt with a whip and rushed forward first.

　　"Brother Shen, what should we do?"

　　Hearing the voice behind her, Ji Ruxue put her hand on the hilt of the long sword hanging at her waist, turned her head and asked Shen Ye.

　　"There are too many people here, let's leave the city first."

　　Shen Ye glanced around. It was daytime and morning, so many people came into the city. Most of them were civilians living near Yuzhou City. If he took action here, he didn't know how many people would be accidentally injured.

　　Although some of his principles have changed a lot compared to the beginning, not harming ordinary people who have no hostility is something that has remained unchanged.

　　"good."

　　Ji Ruxue also knew that taking action here was not a wise choice. She kicked the horse hard and rushed out of the city, shouting at passers-by to get out of the way.

　　When passing the city gate, Shen Ye deliberately looked around, but did not see the protagonist Li Xingyun and the second female lead Lu Linxuan.

　　"Have they not come down the mountain yet? Or have they already entered the city?" Shen Ye frowned. Ji Ruxue's little thoughts made the two of them waste too much time, and he was not sure whether Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan had entered the city.

　　But he was not disappointed. Instead, he thought to himself, "Forget it. If I really can't run into them, I might as well go to Fengxiang with Ji Ruxue and go with her... to meet the Empress. Anyway, when the Empress knows about Li Xingyun's appearance, she will definitely send someone to look for him."

　　There are many beauties in the world of The Bad Guys, but the one that left the deepest impression on Shen Ye was the Empress. Both her appearance and personality completely hit his spot, so he really wanted to go and see as soon as possible to see whether the Empress in reality was as beautiful as in the anime.

　　Just as he was thinking this, the two of them had already rushed out of the city gate hundreds of meters away. There were also far fewer pedestrians on the road than at the city gate. Ji Ruxue no longer cared and whipped the horse's butt hard.

　　The horse felt pain and started running wildly with all four hooves. However, this horse was a good horse from the frontier that Shen Ye bought from a pawnbroker. Compared with the war horses ridden by the group of Xuanming sect killers behind him, its speed and endurance were almost the same. For a moment, the group of Xuanming sect killers were unable to catch up.

　　However, because the two were riding on the same horse, after running for a distance, the horse's physical strength could no longer sustain it and its running speed dropped visibly.

　　After running for several miles, the two were caught up by the assassins of Xuanming Sect and surrounded.

　　Then, a person who seemed to be the leader of the group rode forward a few steps, looked at the two people who were so close, and said with a smile: "Oh, it is said that the women in Huanyinfang are gentle and affectionate. I always thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that the rumor is indeed true. How about this, little girl, hand over the Fire Ganoderma, and I will show mercy and let you and your lover live, how about it?"

　　"Dream on." Ji Ruxue drew her sword and said coldly. In front of outsiders, she returned to her usual attitude of keeping strangers away.

　　"Hmph, you are shameless. I'm kind enough to let you go but you don't appreciate it at all. Alright, very good, brothers, come on, catch them, and then I'm going to torture her lover in front of this girl." The little leader was immediately furious, and he waved his hand, ordering his men to take the two men down.

　　Looking at the Xuanming Cult assassins slowly approaching them, Shen Ye sneered, took the Suxin Sword directly from Ji Ruxue, and whispered: "Xue'er, watch me kill them all with one sword."

　　Although Ji Ruxue missed the scene where Shen Ye killed hundreds of people with one sword that night, she knew how strong he was, so she nodded slightly.

　　However, just as Shen Ye was about to swing his sword to use the swordsman skill Sakura Tribulation, a clear female voice suddenly came to his ears.

　　"Brother, look quickly, those seem to be people from the Xuanming Sect, and they seem to be chasing others."

　　Then a male voice that sounded a bit sloppy was heard: "What do you mean by seems? They are clearly from the Xuanming Sect."

　　"Brother, should we go and help them?"

　　"What do you think? Junior Sister, as the saying goes, when you see injustice, you should draw your sword to help, especially when they are those scums of the Xuanming Sect."

　　Hearing the conversation between the man and the woman, Shen Ye slowly put down his sword-holding hand, and the Xuanming Sect assassins who were approaching them also stopped, and then everyone looked in the direction where the conversation came from.

　　Not far from them, there stood a boy and girl. The boy was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and looked very capable, while the girl was wearing a purple and white skirt. They were about sixteen or seventeen years old and looked bright and charming. They were Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan, who had come down the mountain on the orders of their master Yang Shuzi.
