Chapter 512: Chapter 508: The Old, Weak, Sick, and Disabled

“…Those with inner vision and above cultivation, stand by on the west side of

Camel Hump.”

The crowd was thrown into another commotion. Those who possessed cultivation capacities separated themselves from the crowd and ran towards the west side of the main peak. The group was roughly ten thousand strong.

These were the last capable people among the refugees. Those left behind, in anyone’s eyes, were all similar to odd-shaped melons and split jujubes.

Their physique was undermined due to food scarcity, and their diminished stature caused these small, dark figures to blend together when standing so closely. Even Tang Luo could not tell the men and women apart.

The women, who should display gender characteristics, had chest parts as flat as the men’s. Though unable to distinguish in appearance, Tang Luo knew that the majority of those remaining were females.

This was an apparent fact. The notion of favoring males over females was deeply rooted in this land. Boys had the potential to work and earn money, carry on the family lineage. Some ordinary families would even skimp to afford their children’s Foundation Building, thus changing the fate of their entire household.

The girls were not so fortunate. They had no opportunities to learn to read, and they lacked the conditions to practice martial arts. For poorer households, raising a girl until the age of three or five and then giving her away for a man’s family to raise, or even selling her into a brothel, became customary.

For instance, Miaoyin Square would purchase a large number of young girls each year. These girls were not seized forcibly by the Tang Clan. Rather, the locals would eagerly sell their three-to-five-year-old daughters to Miaoyin Square for only one or two hundred gold, using the money to improve their own lives.
