Chapter 411: Getting out of trouble
"So, every time a man's spiritual energy is drained, he will be sent to me."
Yun Guiyue's eyelashes trembled slightly. "Then... you transfer the spiritual power you have cultivated to them, and then send them out..."
The city lord said "hmm". The city lords in the women's city have always been able to practice on their own. I practiced day and night, and in the end it was just to return all the spiritual power in my body to those men. Do you also find it quite funny, sir?
But this is her mission, she cannot shirk it, it was destined from the day she was born.
"Every thirty years, a woman appears in the city who can cultivate without intercourse, and this person is the mayor of the Women's City."
The city lord's eyes became more and more serious. Yun Guiyue looked at her and finally understood where the sadness in her body came from.
She was clearly a person of exceptional talent in this city, and should have been the strongest person, but from the moment she was born, she had a shackle on her body that she could not escape and could only accept her fate.
Yun Guiyue's gaze fell on her wide robe, and with a slight probe of his mental power, he saw that her arms were covered with dense scars.
"Were those scars caused when you were transferring spiritual energy to those men?"
The city lord nodded, his voice full of self-deprecating sorrow. "To pass souls with blood is both a sorrow and a blessing for the city lord. I am truly thankful that they don't let me sleep with those men."
Yun Guiyue's voice gradually cooled down, "So this is why you haven't chosen to leave."
“Well, these girls also want to practice in a normal way, but they are born like this, so what else can they do?
If they don't practice, they will only return to the same predicament they've been in for a hundred years, unable to escape. They can only sink into it and suffocate to death, just like being trapped in a swamp."
Yun Guiyue sighed. This entire Women's City was like a huge cage. No matter how hard the people inside struggled, they could not escape the shackles of fate.
She looked out the window at the lively figure dancing beside Mo Ling. "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Xueyu is the next woman who can cultivate on her own, right?"
Even though Yu Xueyu spoke without restraint, she was actually still a virgin. Those so-called men were just a cover for the city lord to conceal Yu Xueyu's special physique.
The city lord chuckled sarcastically, "Young Master, you have good eyesight. I've been trapped in this women's city for decades, and I accept it, but my child is still so young and hasn't seen many things in this world yet. I don't want her to be bound here for her whole life."
Sir, this is why I must ask Xueyu to bring you here no matter what."
Yun Guiyue frowned, "What does this have to do with me?"
The city lord's throat moved slightly, and he was obviously a little nervous. "Because the ancestors of the Women's City have a teaching that the first man who enters the Women's City and is not affected by anything will be the one who can lead the Women's City out of trouble."
Yun Guiyue chuckled, "That's really too much of a compliment to me."
Not to mention that she had no idea how to lead these women out of their predicament, she was actually not a man at all.
But he didn't want to confess his identity to the city lord, which was really annoying.
The city lord clenched his hands and said, "Actually, when I learned about this ancestral precept, I didn't hold out hope. I had waited for hundreds of years but still couldn't get the chance. How could I expect to get the chance in just a few decades while I'm on the throne?"
