Lin Feng found this woman named You You somewhat strange. Unlike his teammates, he had met many women in his younger days. Compared to those women who were either spoiled, weak, or arrogant, this person who suddenly appeared in the Demon Abyss was completely different, seemingly... a little too amiable?
In the Immortal Continent, women are extremely rare. Therefore, they are born into nobility, and every family takes pride in bearing a daughter. To be blessed by heaven to give birth to a girl is an immense fortune, hence the term "noble lady." Even the poorest families would be willing to devote all their resources to raising and protecting a noble lady; no one would dare to let her face any danger lightly.
From a young age, men are taught not to harm women. The penalties for offending women vary greatly from country to country; even the slightest disrespect can result in years in prison, a permanent ban on contact with women, and a lifetime of social scorn. Trafficking women is even more egregious; this inhuman act not only incurs the heaviest punishment but, more importantly, is a divine offense. Even legendary cultivators show no mercy to such individuals; they are truly deserving of universal condemnation.
A noblewoman's birth is no easy feat, and she deserves the best treatment in the world. It can be said that protecting and safeguarding women has become an instinct ingrained in the bones of all men in this world. That's why they risked their lives to save You You when they saw her in the Demon Abyss, and why they immediately set off to transfer her to Shangyang when they realized that she was not safe in the border town.
This was neither a responsibility nor a task; on the contrary, in a border town where noble ladies were unlikely to exist, it was an honor. The fact that a noble lady trusted them and was willing to let them escort her was itself an affirmation.
But they were, after all, just a small hunting team from a border town, and the borderlands were notoriously harsh. Traveling with a noblewoman meant that even with their best efforts, they had to make concessions and neglect her in many ways. This was something that not only he, but everyone in the team felt guilty about, except for Youyou herself.
Since leaving the city, she hadn't uttered a single complaint; on the contrary, she was the most energetic, spirited, and carefree member of the group. She even refused to ride the horse they had painstakingly found for her, insisting she couldn't ride and pushing the still-injured Wang Xiao onto it. While keeping pace, she would occasionally ask her companions, "Tired? Want me to help you carry it?"
At first, everyone was naturally unwilling. How could a group of grown men let a woman carry things? They couldn't bear to do it, even if it meant exhaustion. Youyou initially refused to help, but as they walked further away, perhaps seeing how tired everyone was, she decided to lend a hand.
She didn't wait for anyone to answer; she simply reached out and took the luggage. And one, two... in no time, she had four or five bags on her back, and she was still able to walk at the very front of the group, moving with incredible speed.
Lin Feng's team was not just surprised, but felt terrified.
But they just couldn't get it back. No matter how hard they chased, the other person was always a step or two ahead of them. At first, the team members were a little scared and worried that she would get tired, but they gradually realized that the other person walked with ease, as if the four or five tightly packed bags had no weight at all.
He even managed to find time to check on everyone, asking every now and then: "Are you tired? Want some water? Do you need a rest?" Keep it up, brothers, you're all the best!
If it weren't for her stunningly beautiful face that could captivate at first glance, he would have thought he wasn't escorting a noblewoman, but rather had gained a brother. She was incredibly warm and kind, and completely understood and supported their decision. She showed none of the arrogance or haughtiness often associated with noblewomen; she seemed to treat them as equals, not as noblewomen, but as ordinary people.
It must be said that Lin Feng had never seen a woman like this before!
"It's almost nightfall, let's rest here tonight!" He looked up at the sky and stopped.
As soon as he finished speaking, the six people following behind immediately relaxed and plopped down on the ground. Some slumped to the ground, some leaned against trees, and some threw down their luggage, all panting heavily. After traveling for several days, they were truly exhausted.
For a moment, the only ones standing were Lin Feng, who had the best martial arts skills, and a noble lady carrying four or five packages on her back.
Youyou felt nothing at all. In fact, no matter how long she walked, she didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, she was full of energy. It seemed like she could walk another hundred or so miles without any problem.
At first, I was a little surprised, but then I thought that it might be because my body was like a game character, and there was no fatigue value loaded when it was manufactured, so it's normal that I don't feel tired.
So she put the pack on her back under a big tree, glanced at her exhausted teammates around her, shook her empty water bag, and offered, "I heard water over there, I'll go get you some water to drink."
"It's still me..." Liu Qing reflexively tried to get up, but You You had already turned and left, her steps so light that she didn't seem like someone who had been traveling for several days.
The teammates, who also wanted to stop it but couldn't get up, were speechless.
Is this... really a woman?
I vaguely felt that something deep inside me called male pride had been dealt a heavy blow.
Liu Qing glanced helplessly at You You, who had already walked away, then looked back at her companions who were also questioning their existence. She couldn't help but look at Lin Feng behind her and said, "Boss, are all women in the world... like her?" What happened to the saying that women are born weak? If this is what you call weak, then what are they?
Lin Feng was also somewhat at a loss for words, and after a while he said in a deep voice, "Perhaps she is born with superhuman strength, which is why she is different from other women!" He had long noticed that You You's strength was extraordinary, but she herself did not seem to be aware of it.
