“You call me a slut? How am I a slut? I merely performed a dance and showcased my skills, and that makes me promiscuous? If you look at things through lustful eyes, you’d get aroused even looking at a sow. What does that have to do with my dancing? What’s seductive isn’t my dance—it’s the decadent lustfulness of men. Men indulge their own desires and then shift the blame onto women. You’re all a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites.”
Xiao Che was stunned. He had not expected Jin Luoluo to express such an opinion.
Since ancient times, scholars had often blamed beautiful women for men’s failures, calling them disasters in human form. But as Jin Luoluo said, was the woman really at fault? The fault lay in men’s desires, yet after making mistakes, they pushed the responsibility onto women.
However, the world worked that way. Whether or not beauty truly brought disaster, the belief had become deeply ingrained in most people’s minds.
Xiao Che unconsciously softened his tone.
“Since you live in this world, you have to accept its customs. Do you know how powerful these hypocrites are? You’re only a young woman. Do you really think you can resist them? Their influence is enough to crush you.”
Jin Luoluo sneered and proudly raised her chin.
“What do I care about other people’s opinions? If I cared, I would’ve hanged myself with noodles hundreds of times already. After all the shocking and unconventional things I’ve done, the fact that I’m still alive today is precisely because I don’t live according to other people’s judgments. Most people do have to follow society’s rules, but I’ll be the exception, because I have both the ability and the courage to carve out my own path.”
Xiao Yu laughed.
“Luoluo, you truly don’t care about what others think and simply do what you enjoy. That’s admirable. The Chu Yun Kingdom is indeed lacking women who are this independent and self-reliant. But shouldn’t some matters be considered more carefully from other people’s perspectives?”
“For example, your dancing. To you it may seem insignificant, but it makes us very uncomfortable. Can you understand that feeling? Imagine the man you like displaying his charms before a crowd of women right in front of you, captivating them so completely that they lose themselves. Wouldn’t that upset you?”
Jin Luoluo fell into thought. A fierce light flashed in her eyes as she said viciously,
“I’d kill him. How dare he flirt and fool around right in front of me?”
The three princes shuddered. The expression on Jin Luoluo’s face was terrifying, like that of a butcher who had slaughtered countless people.
Seeing that she could understand the comparison, Xiao Yu continued his patient persuasion:
