"How could your great-grandmother live so long? Is she of a high level?" The females became curious.
The little female shook her head. "My grandmother didn't even have a single beast mark. Besides, her life was quite difficult back then. She only had one partner, and she had to take on a lot of work, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make ends meet."
"She is often chased by wild animals. If she hadn't been able to climb trees, she would have been eaten long ago."
The young female lamented, "But Tai Tai Nai lived to be 155, and not many of us descendants have lived past 130."
Because their bodies are inherently more fragile, and childbirth takes its toll on the body, when they are over 100 years old, their bodies begin to age, and females are more likely to die from various diseases and usually do not live to 150.
Mei Yi sighed, "Everyone understands the truth, but who would be willing to work hard when there's a better life? I'd rather choose a partner who's more diligent and treats me better."
An older female said: "This is actually a joint choice between us and the males. The males want to perform better and gain the favor of the females, while we want a better and safer life, so we will choose males who are willing to pay more."
The older female threw up her hands helplessly, "Over time, it became like this."
Another female chimed in, "Females used to participate in gathering, but look at them now. Who would dare let a young female work so hard? If I suddenly started working, people would think my partner was treating me badly. Who knows, there might be an endless stream of males challenging my partner, which would really affect our lives."
"So, you know your situation, but don't want to change it, right?" Jiang Yanyue was a little confused.
"I can't say I don't want to change, I can only say that this is the best outcome now," Mei Yi said with an inexplicable smile. "We are well taken care of, and the males are needed, satisfied and happy. Isn't that good?"
Jiang Yanyue was speechless after being looked at by Mei Yi.
Yoyo tilted her head and looked at Jiang Yanyue. "Baby, have you ever thought about this question? If we do everything, will it become more and more common? Will the males think that this female is easy to get and can just be perfunctory?"
"Hey, baby, what you said is too scary. This kind of male can be observed before they mate. The ones who can be chosen as mates are good and they won't be so stingy."
Hongya also nodded and said, "I think they will most likely hug me and cry, asking themselves what they did wrong."
Many married females echoed, "My family does the same."
Jiang Yanyue had almost given up trying to persuade the females, although she was reluctant to give up the muscle strength and flexibility she had trained for more than ten years to weaken her body and get closer to the orc females.
But she had to admit that the "weakening" of this two-way choice was beneficial to females.
Jiang Yanyue will not destroy the traditions and habits that the females have worked so hard to establish and that are beneficial to her just because she thinks she is right.
Don't underestimate the power of tradition and custom. The current technological development on Earth has long since eliminated the labor force gap between men and women. Legally, genders are equal, and there will be no situation where a family will be wiped out if they don't have a son. But are men and women really equal?
In kindergarten, why are there dozens of little boys in a class but only a few little girls?
How many women, when looking for a job, dare not even admit that they have a boyfriend? How many women, in interviews, are asked, "Are you married?", "Do you have children?", "Are you planning to have a second child?"
How many female protagonists lose to men in the job competition, not because of lack of effort or lack of ability, but simply because she is a woman?
How many families are there where the daughter is the "princess" and the son is the "dog son", but in the end, the house, car, and savings all belong to the "dog son", and the "princess" only gets a pair of elderly parents who need care?
How many wealthy people would rather train their daughters to become daughters-in-law of even richer families than train them to become heirs?
Yes, I just haven't thought about it. It's not that I'm partial or anything else. Although the times have developed and technology has advanced, the power of tradition still influences people, making them subconsciously do habitual actions that have been done for thousands of years - favoring sons over daughters.
"I understand that showing weakness is a useful survival philosophy, but I don't think it's necessary to do it to the point of harming your health. Overdoing anything is not good."
Jiang Yanyue did not bring up slogans like females should be self-reliant. This simply would not work in the animal world. Different worlds have different rules of survival.
She just hopes that females won't go too far and become short-lived white moonlight.
Living in other people's memories, and being endlessly processed by longing into an illusory beauty, how can it compare to living your own life and embracing infinite possibilities?
"I'm going to follow your training anyway. I want to live to 150. I've always wanted to learn from my wife and grandmother. It's really hard to start by myself, and even harder to stick with it. But with a companion, it doesn't seem that difficult."
The young female who wanted to carry forward Tai Nai's longevity genes was the first to respond to Jiang Yanyue.
"Of course we'll go with you, but don't get your hopes up. We rarely even walk the road on our own, so we might have given up right at the beginning."
"We can supervise each other." Yoyo is still relatively optimistic.
"You don't have to run 800 meters right from the start. Take it one step at a time. You can start by playing, like skipping rope or kicking shuttlecock. Get yourself moving first. If you haven't walked before, walk more. Even if you walk 101 steps, it's a victory."
Jiang Yanyue encouraged everyone. She was not trying to promote the idea that "women hold up half the sky". She just wanted to change the concept that one can be weak but not sickly.
"The weak bullying the strong" can be a means, or it can be a common choice of beastmen, but females should not think that they should gasp for breath after every three steps or feel dizzy after every five steps.
Females are already very weak, and it is really inappropriate for them to weaken themselves further.
Jiang Yanyue discovered that the males in the beast world actually like fair, young and thin women, otherwise Qi Yu would not have been the "most beautiful female" in the past. This is recognized by both males and females in the Xuesen tribe.
Then Jiang Yanyue, the "heroine" face, appeared, and the orcs suddenly discovered that beauty could be like this.
Jiang Yanyue agreed with the females that she would teach them Ba Duan Jin tomorrow. It was unrealistic to suddenly ask the females who hardly walked to do strenuous exercise, so this slow and leisurely exercise was very suitable.
Jiang Yanyue was holding seven or eight loofahs, preparing to go back and make loofah meatball soup. Today's grass pig should be delicious pork.
"Hey, you little female, you're so pretty, but why are you so mean? You've corrupted our partners!"
"I'm happy to be Miaomiao's companion. I'm happy to serve her. It doesn't bother you. Why are you so talkative?"
Several unfamiliar males gradually surrounded Jiang Yanyue. Of course, they didn't get too close. They didn't dare to do anything in public, and they were even afraid of scaring the little female to tears.
So they could only "surround" Jiang Yanyue from a distance.
