Chapter 4641 A Familiar Voice
The main streets were connected in all directions, with all kinds of buildings. There were busy markets and luxurious shops everywhere they passed, and the overall feeling was no less than that of the middle Island, especially the beautiful buildings. It was even better than the middle Island. After all, the West Island was a gathering place for female practitioners, and women were more obsessed with beauty than men.
This was Lin Yi's first time on the Western Island, and he was naturally curious about this legendary base camp of female practitioners. He couldn't help but look around as he walked-this place was mostly made up of female practitioners, but it wasn't as if there weren't any men. He could see some men in the streets and shops.
While Lin Yi and the group were looking around, the people from the Western Island were also looking at them. The female cultivators here were a lot more passionate than they thought, some even blowing kisses at Lin Yi and the group.
"I thought the West Island was a country of women. I didn't expect the proportion of men to be so high. Although it's less than the number of female cultivators, it's about the same as the proportion of female cultivators in the North Island. It's just that the two are reversed." Lin Yi asked, surprised.
"Little Junior Brother, you still don't know, but on the West Island, men have no human rights. Only by relying on female cultivators can you live, so don't run around, in case someone takes a fancy to you and takes you home as a male servant!" Shangguan LAN 'er squinted her eyes and smiled mischievously.
"Ha? A waiter?" Lin Yi blinked.
"Hehe, miss Shangguan is just joking. Don't be nervous, special envoy Lin." Feng Lu laughed and explained,""However, our Western Island is dominated by female cultivators, just like your northern island is dominated by male cultivators. The powerful experts here are mostly female cultivators. Although there are male cultivators, their numbers are very small. Most of the male cultivators are not very strong, and some are even ordinary people, so they can only rely on female cultivators to survive."
"Then what if we have the same strength? the female will have a higher status, right?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, there are many things here that only female cultivators can do, and there are also some high-end occasions that only female cultivators can enter. Unless male cultivators have the island master's personal approval, it's useless no matter how strong they are. " Feng Lu said without any hesitation.
"I see." Lin Yi nodded. He had a general understanding of the island now. This was a feminist society, but not an absolute one. In a real feminist society, there was no room for men to stand out, but it wasn't impossible here. As long as you were strong enough, as long as you got the island master's favor, you'd have a chance.
However, Lin Yi was more and more surprised by ning Xuefei's past behavior. Since she grew up in such an atmosphere, ning Xuefei's feminist ideas should be deeply rooted in her. However, she didn't show any signs of this in the previous two encounters. The feeling she gave him was similar to Shangguan LAN 'er, just like an innocent little princess.
"Is ning Xuefei a feminist too?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
Any other Sky Class Island native would've been dumbfounded by this new term, but Shangguan LAN 'er had been with Lin Yi for so long, and she'd been talking to him about the common world all the time. She was already used to it, and she smiled,"No, although Feifei is the princess of the West Island, she didn't receive a completely feminist education. It's almost the same as ours."
"Why is that? Isn't she the heir to the West Island?" Lin Yi was surprised. Ning Xuefei was the princess of the West Island, and the Western Island was a feminist society. This meant that she was likely to take over the West Island in the future. Logically, she should've received a feminist education in this case, or how could she hold power in the future?
"She's the heir, after all, and that's why she can't accept a purely feminine education. How else would she be able to deal with the other Sky Class Island Masters? The status of men here is very low, but they're not in other places. If she's really a feminist who's been trained since young, how can she change her mentality? it'll be a big problem!" Shangguan LAN 'er said with a smile, but her words hit the nail on the head.
Lin Yi finally understood-it was just as Shangguan LAN 'er said-a true feminist's worldview was completely incompatible with other people' s, but the West Island couldn't be separated from the other sky-class islands. It'd be a big problem if a feminist held all the power, and they'd make enemies on all sides, making their lives difficult.
Lin Yi walked and looked around, and when they were almost at the palace, he separated from Shangguan LAN 'er and the others. Shangguan LAN' er went to rest in the palace first, and the others split up to do their own things. Lin Yi, as the special envoy of the North Island, had to follow Feng Lu to handle some related matters.
A visit from two islands was no less than a diplomatic meeting between two countries, and all kinds of complicated procedures were inevitable. After Lin Yi was done with all the things, he went to find Shangguan LAN 'er.
Shangguan LAN 'er's residence was in the island owner's Palace, and according to the rules, no man was allowed to enter the palace. Lin Yi, however, was an exception-he was the special envoy representing the North Island, and treating him like a normal man would be a slap to the face of the North Island.
Plus, ning Xuefei had told everyone in the palace that Lin Yi was her good friend and they couldn't neglect him. After the guards confirmed Lin Yi's identity, they let him in immediately and even sent someone to lead the way, in case he wandered around the palace alone and went to places he shouldn't go.
Lin Yi was about to knock on Shangguan LAN 'er's door when he heard laughter coming from inside. It was obvious that the people inside were very happy, but there was another girl's voice other than Shangguan LAN' er and ning Xuefei 's, and it sounded very familiar!
Lin Yi froze outside the door as if he'd been struck by lightning!
