195 Its All About Strength! (1/2)

“In this world, women are in such a low position.” The woman looked at the white clouds in the sky and asked lightly, “Men can go drink and have fun while women cannot. Men can hold several lovers in arms while women cannot. Men can marry several ones while woman cannot. Men can do whatever they want while women would be accused for doing those they are not supposed to do… The world is so unfair. Why should we follow those rules?

Why can’t we live in colorful lives?

I can’t take it. Can… Can you?”

The woman asked.

She seemed to ask Su Yeyue, but also asking herself and more like asking the whole world.

Su Yeyue gave another simple answer. She said lightly, “We are just women. Why do we push ourselves so hard?”

It was simple, but it seemed to be powerful enough.

The woman heard her and took another deep breath. She felt like saying something, yet she felt it was useless and meaningless to say it.

“The world is indeed unfair to women. I can’t deny it.” Su Yeyue raised her head, looking at the woman with her clear eyes, “However, even though you can shock the whole world by only waving your hand, what exactly can you change?”

The woman was shocked and stayed silent.

“You have marvelous cultivation capability. You can scare the whole world and look down upon all living things. So what? Did you break the constraint on women?” Su Yeyue asked.

The woman lowered her head for the first time in her life. She was a bit in sorrow and she said, “No.”

Su Yeyue proudly said, “I don’t have any of those that you promised me, but I have him on my side. Isn’t it enough?”

The woman was quiet for a while and then said, “That’s right. You have him. But… he can only sacrifice his life once for you. How is that enough? If I didn’t come earlier, he would be dead. Would you not lose him?”

This time, Su Yeyue was quiet.

Her face showed pain in heart. She held Ye Xiao’s hand tightly under the table.

She was holding it so hard that Ye Xiao actually felt a bit painful.

“I understand your thoughts. I agree with you. There must be something good to be my disciple. If you learn the whole set of the world-shocking marvelous martial art, you can kill all the enemies. You can defeat them, kill them and control them. Only when you are strong enough can you protect the happy life you wished for and your beloved ones!”

The woman said lightly, “It has nothing to do with whether you are or not a woman. It is all about… When we want to protect something or to care for something, we have to keep it from being snatched. Fame, position, property, love, life… all of it.

Everything you want depends on your strength, isn’t it?

If you are weak and couldn’t protect anything, even though you can have what you want right now, you may lose all of them at the next moment.

The ordinary people, they work for money, for wealth! That is their strength. Only with wealth can they live better, longer and happier.

But when they don’t need to worry about money and get used to being rich people, they keep chasing other things like immortality; the power that overwhelm others. They also need something to help them get what they want — strength!

Only when you have enough strength can you have anything you want! Because you are weak, then you are even unable to live as an ordinary person. There will be somebody stronger than you destroying whatever you have built at any time!”

She pointed at Ye Xiao, “A simple example. Let’s suggest that he isn’t strong enough when he marries you, a pretty girl. There are many randy men in the world. He may not be one of them, so he never go out for girls and you are satisfied about it. However, there will be someone who wants to touch you, but your man doesn’t have the power to protect you. What will you do?

That is why strength matters!

The only thing that fits all the realms is merely this — strength!

Weak parents cannot afford raising their children; weak husbands fail to protect their pretty wives; weak sons can only watch their fathers get killed by somebody or some illnesses. They just cannot do anything to help them!

But if they are strong enough, they become capable! All those miserable things won’t happen! They can protect whatever and whoever they love.

Power means all!”

The woman spoke solemnly, “That, is what I am offering you! Strength! Power! Overwhelming power!
