Chapter 1099 - Chapter 1099 Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Three Expelling
Chapter 1099: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Three: Expelling Someone Chapter 1099: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Three: Expelling Someone The so-called gender equality has always been a fallacious concept, not to mention the physiological structure and cognitive models that are inherent.
In a society where martial prowess and physical strength determine most occupations, where men create significantly more value than women and monopolize the vast majority of social resources, women are disadvantaged in the fiercest resource competitions due to childbirth and physical weakness, and that is the root cause why men and women cannot be equal.
Even the most respectful men towards women would admit that women are indeed a vulnerable group.
Just like when Sister Xiu’er was still Brother Tian, even without the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, Tang Luo never worried when they left for three or five days, always believing that they could overcome any difficulty and return triumphant.
But when Brother Tian became Sister Xiu’er, the mere absence of half a day would make one feel utterly anxious, involuntarily imagining her falling into all sorts of dangers.
Despite Brother Tian and Sister Xiu’er being the same person and possessing entirely identical skills, Tang Luo couldn’t help but think this way due to the change in identity.
As if there was always a voice in his heart saying, what if, what if…
“I hope I can make it in time.”
After the Post Station Attendant took away the two letters, Tang Luo sighed in his heart, pushed his wheelchair away from the post station, and went back to the small house outside North City.
The cottage in the snow was still exquisitely charming, just like always, but the house without neighbors had become an ordinary thatched hut in the wilderness.
…
That night
The wind howled, and the snowstorm raged.
Tang Luo sat in the dark room, his eyes glowing faintly.
If someone could light a lamp, they would see Longxi’s Pride with her mouth slightly agape, stunned.
And the astonishment stemmed from the Spirit Realm Gate that had opened in the courtyard amidst the blizzard, with a disheartened Sister Xiu’er walking out from it, seemingly having faced peril.
Concern leads to chaos, as the saying goes; a self-deprecating curve formed on Tang Luo’s lips as he sighed, “Well, it’s good that you’ve returned safely.”
As he pushed his wheelchair out of the dark storage area, about to exchange words with the ebullient Sister Xiu’er, he found her dispirited, with an expression as if she had lost her nation.
Tang Luo was taken aback and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Sister Xiu’er lifted her head and looked at Tang Luo with an alien gaze, as if matching the person before her with the memories in her mind, or as if discovering the disillusionment that the intimately familiar person had two faces.
The emotions were too complex to describe, so after a deep gaze, not knowing how to start a conversation, Sister Xiu’er lowered her head and walked into the house.
“Get some rest early.”
????
With a forehead full of question marks, Tang Luo weakly called out to the closed wooden door, “… We haven’t had dinner yet!”
…
The next morning
Having adjusted herself throughout the night, Sister Xiu’er finally found a way to face the situation anew and knocked on the door of Tang Luo’s wooden cabin, looking at him with a complicated expression.
“You are the Devil Lord Gou Chen, aren’t you?”
“Ah, it is me.”
“Why didn’t you say anything before!”
“I thought you knew.”
“So Luo Tang is also a fake name?”
“Mhm.”
“Liar!”
Sister Xiu’er burst out angrily, “I don’t want a little brother like you anymore. From now on, you can live on your own!”
“Huh?” Tang Luo raised an eyebrow. During their usual idle chats, Sister Xiu’er had always acted like a big shot, constantly instilling in him messages like, even if one can’t practice martial arts, they must live strongly; the world is filled with wonderful things, martial arts are just one aspect.
But to use any excuse to kick out her little brother today seemed a bit unreasonable!
“Hey, who’s the real liar here? Just a few days ago you said you would teach me your skills so that I could settle down in Chaochang and later become the respected Boss Luo, yet now you’re suddenly telling me to live on my own. Can’t you at least lay the emotional groundwork? Aren’t you afraid I’ll see right through this abrupt change?”
Tang Luo said angrily, “Didn’t you say you love Chaochang the most? What’s the matter now, can’t stay any longer? Been exposed? Or has someone higher up decided to transfer you? Not only have you lost the fish, but you also won’t speak a word. Why insist on driving me out early in the morning? Is there any point in this?”
“Do you have to poke through it and show off how smart you are?”
Sister Xiu’er said sadly, “Can’t you just listen for once? Do what I tell you to do, okay?”
Her face, which already carried a tinge of melancholy, now looked so pitifully aggrieved, like a bullied young wife, which gave Tang Luo a headache. He spoke softly, “I do want to listen to you, but even if it’s an order, there should be some reasoning, right? You’re kicking me out without any justification. What about the Divine Artifact?”
He pointed at his lower abdomen and sighed, “To save me, you even sacrificed a Divine Artifact. If you’re going to kick me out, shouldn’t you take back the Divine Artifact first?”
Divine Artifacts are meant to be passed down, not wasted. It’s not just the declining Yun Clan; even the holy lands of today wouldn’t take Divine Artifacts lightly.
Tang Luo didn’t know about Sister Xiu’er’s status within the Yun Family, but even if she were the legitimate daughter of the current head, she couldn’t bear the responsibility for losing a Divine Artifact.
And if he were to leave, this now-incomplete Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul would be deemed useless. Even if Sister Xiu’er agreed to it, the people behind her surely wouldn’t.
“I don’t want it anymore!”
Thinking that bringing up the Divine Artifact would make Sister Xiu’er change her mind, Tang Luo was almost unable to believe his ears when she turned her head and said so, surprising him.
“What did you say?”
“I said,” Sister Xiu’er turned her head away and whispered, “I don’t want it anymore!”
“The Devil Lord Hook Chen is already dead in the Wilderness. From now on, you are Luo Tang. Live well, please stay away from the chaotic world, okay?”
As if she had made up her mind, Sister Xiu’er turned her head, her twinkling eyes suddenly lighting up, and met Tang Luo’s gaze.
The aura of the Charming Eyes flowed, projecting her inner thoughts through her pupils into his eyes. At this moment, Sister Xiu’er in Tang Luo’s eyes seemed like the embodiment of everything he aspired for, the sum of all the world’s beauty.
In his daze, it was as if a voice was softly murmuring in his ear, making him forget about the strife, the long road of the Jianghu, the glory of the Han Family, and even the Divine Artifact in his lower abdomen.
This power had transcended the realm of bewitching secret arts and reached the level of innate supernatural abilities.
Ensuring that Tang Luo had fallen for the charm, Sister Xiu’er wanted to give a few more words of advice, but she noticed that Tang Luo’s eyes suddenly cleared, and the previously infallible Charming Eyes unexpectedly faltered.
“I’m not some wish-granting tool or the heir to your desires. If you long for a peaceful life away from chaos, just go pursue it. Why place your hopes on me?”
Tang Luo sighed and said, “Drop the hatred you don’t wish to carry, shed the responsibilities you can’t bear. That’s not selfishness; it’s acknowledging the limits of one’s abilities. Thousands of years of holy land cannot be surpassed by the efforts of one or two generations. Surviving is stronger than anything else!”
