Walk The Jianghu

Maybe I can. But I don't want it!

Su Ye-Yue looked at her bright eyes and felt scared somehow. She stepped back a bit and said, "I... I don't..."

The woman interrupted her immediately and said, "Girl! As long as you swear to follow me, I will help you become the most powerful person under and above the sky.

And I can bring you life that never ends and the glory that never falls.

I can give you..."

The woman said many benefits, all kinds of benefits. They were all truly attractive. The woman was confident that nobody could resist it. She thought she was surely going to have Su Ye-Yue.

However, Su Ye-Yue suddenly asked, "Well then... What about him?"

She looked at Ye Xiao.

The woman didn't even turn to Ye Xiao and just said casually, "He is not included. He is too weak. He is far from qualified."

Su Ye-Yue made a quick reaction. She shook her head, "I am not going with you."

The woman was stunned, "What? What did you say? Did you just say... You are not coming? Do you even know what you are talking about? Do you know what you are giving up by saying no to me? That is the most glorious, most powerful..."

Su Ye-Yue lowered her head and said, "In fact, all those things mean nothing to me. I am just a woman, like my mother. Since I was a kid, my mother started to tell me that the most important thing in a woman's life is to find someone who cares and love myself... I should stay with him for all my life. We should have a baby. We should work together. We should fight together. We should grow old together... When we are old enough and couldn't even stand up, we stay in the chairs and enjoy the pleasure brought by our grandchildren and the caring brought by our sons and daughters..."

"My mother said it was all what a woman should long for, and it would be enough to have such things... All the other glorious things are truly not important. We are just women."

Su Ye-Yue talked slowly.

When she was talking, she didn't really understand some of the words she said. That was why she showed confusion when she was talking. However, she was truly looking forward such a life.

"I am just a woman..."

The woman was shocked.

Such simple statement from the girl actually boiled the blood in her heart.

[What a simple wish.

I am also a woman.

I wish to have such kind of life myself.

But how could I?

Maybe I can. But I don't want it!]

Not sure which novel, but Ye Xiao is the MC I think. Still one of Feng Lin's iianm.

I remember reading old comics - Pedang Setiawan / Storm Riders. Wind asked if they were even able to live a normal life. Answer was, even if they wanted to, they can't.
