Under the night sky.
Li Wanji's body still trembled uncontrollably, and as the dark clouds moved away, moonlight spilled across the land.
As far as her eyes could see, that figure walked casually forward.
She completely didn't understand where the fear in her heart came from; she only knew that if she really dared to touch the other party's sword, she would definitely die.
Did she misunderstand something?
Recalling her past years, at the age of five, she was much stronger than her peers, as swift as a young man. And this momentum didn't stop, even at sixteen, she was tall and strong, with a broad back and powerful build, yet she had a delicate girl's face.
Not to mention in the eyes of the world, even in the eyes of her own parents, she was an anomaly!
Neither male nor female.
She herself wasn't that bothered, just feeling, 'I live my life, you can think what you want.'
But what girl doesn't long for love?
However, as all men avoided her and discussed her behind her back, she changed, becoming somewhat misogynistic. Even though the person in front of her had never said anything unpleasant from beginning to end, she just disliked him.
Inadvertent words always revealed the man's casualness.
Eating when he wanted, saying what he wanted, doing what he wanted, completely based on his own mood.
She just didn't understand, what right did a Fan Blood Realm cultivator have to live like that?
"What a pity."
Zhou You squatted down with a grin, picked up the broken sword, and examined it. "I can only find a place to pick up another one."
Xiao Chen pouted, "It didn't even cut it off."
Zhou You reached out and picked up a one-meter-long tusk from the ground, placing it down, then a cold light flashed, "Let's just use this."
Xiao Chen exclaimed, reaching out to pick up the tusk. In an instant, the tusk continuously split apart, dropping a large amount of debris, transforming into a tusk longsword.
Zhou You, on the other hand, pondered to himself, "Sharpness certainly isn't there, but it can still be used for a bit of show."
After all, it was a Yao Beast's tusk; its hardness was absolutely guaranteed.
Xiao Chen playfully stuck out her tongue, "Anyway, I'm not much use, but I can still scare people."
Zhou You laughed heartily, "Now that you've gained some experience, you should go back and Cultivate properly."
Xiao Chen nodded heavily, "Okay, Second Master. But, this pig's hind leg?"
Zhou You stood up, "It's already cut, isn't it?"
Xiao Chen grabbed the pig leg, separating it from the root, and was immediately overjoyed, "When Lu Renjia roasted wolf legs, I also learned a bit. From now on, I'll be in charge of cooking for Second Master."
Zhou You praised, "That's great, my standard of living has finally gone up."
Li Wanji walked over with an awkward air, "Young Master Zhou, I apologize for my previous attitude towards you."
Zhou You blinked, "Attitude? It's nothing to worry about."
Li Wanji took a deep breath, cupped her hands, and bowed, "I'm sorry."
Zhou You waved his hand, "No worries, no worries, I don't have much of a memory."
Li Wanji lowered her hands, "Perhaps this topic will displease you, but Xiao Chen doesn't have a handy weapon. If we encounter a more powerful Yao Beast, we might be very passive."
Xiao Chen quickly said, "It's fine, I'm just a helper. The main thing is having Second Master here."
Li Wanji sighed inwardly. She understood that Xiao Chen was trying to protect Zhou You's image, but she still couldn't comprehend it.
Living like this, abandoning oneself, without dignity, even if one gains so-called love, is it really worth it?
She completely couldn't understand, nor could she agree.
A daughter should be strong, displaying her sharpness to the world.
That was Li Wanji's cherished life goal!
"Miss Li."
Zhou You smiled, "You must be very familiar with this area. Why don't you lead the way? Help us find a place where people live, preferably a city."
"City?"
Li Wanji was surprised, "What do you want to do?"
Zhou You laughed, "Of course, I'm looking for weapons. I think there must be many lost weapons in those fallen cities. If we're lucky enough, we might even pick up a Spiritual Artifact, haha, hahahaha."
Thinking of the happy part, he was completely engrossed in it.
Wouldn't that be much faster than killing Yao Beasts?
"But..."
Li Wanji couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen. Upon seeing a sword in Xiao Chen's hand, she felt utterly helpless. She now understood that even if she disagreed, it would be useless. "Alright, I'll take you there. But let's agree first, if the path ahead is too dangerous, we must not be greedy and rush in."
"Just take two pig hind legs; we don't need the front legs, they don't taste good."
Zhou You directed Li Wanji.
Li Wanji immediately got annoyed again, "Why me?"
Zhou You said matter-of-factly, "Because I'm the elder."
Xiao Chen quickly said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Li Wanji snorted, with a copper hammer hanging at her waist, she grabbed two dozens of pounds wild pig legs, one in each hand. "No need, I'll do it."
Xiao Chen apologized, "That's too embarrassing."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Zhou You slowly walked forward, "She has Inborn Divine Power; this is nothing at all."
Li Wanji gritted her teeth in anger. This guy not only didn't treat her as a woman, but he didn't treat her as a man either!
Zhou You thought for a moment and said, "Your Cultivation Technique is too poor; it's simply not suitable for you to Cultivate, because it can't bring out the advantages of your body."
Li Wanji sneered, "You understand again?"
Zhou You nodded, "I do understand a bit. In the Yin and Yang Dao of the human body, Qi is Yang, and also Yang Qi. Blood is Yin, and also Yin blood. So-called people with natural physical anomalies are nothing more than two types: one type is those with weak Inborn Qi, who are often sick since childhood. The other type is those with strong Inborn Qi; these children are much more active than other children since childhood, even to an annoying degree. But this type of child has one commonality, which is that they are almost never sick since childhood."
"When Qi reaches a certain level, it will spontaneously drive the body's blood to nourish the whole body, thus forming the concept of 'Innate Divine Power'."
Li Wanji was surprised; she had never heard such a statement before.
Zhou You continued, "Your situation is the latter type. Because your own Yang Qi is too strong, it even affected your growth, and your body is the best proof. Men are biased towards Yang, and women should be biased towards Yin. This is the Dao of Yin and Yang. If this boundary becomes blurred, then it is neither male nor female. One could even say that your situation is still considered good."
Li Wanji pursed her lips, choosing not to retort.
Xiao Chen was puzzled, "What does 'blurred boundary' mean?"
Zhou You said, "I once heard others discuss the Dao of Yin and Yang balance, and they mentioned this issue. For example, those whose Yin and Yang boundary is blurred from birth will appear as a special anomaly, which is hermaphroditism."
Xiao Chen exclaimed, "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course there is."
Zhou You nodded, "Or, for example, a person who is female in the upper body but also has male characteristics, this is caused by the blurred boundary between Yin and Yang. That's why I said her situation is considered good."
