Chapter 75 - This One Might Be More Suitable for You, Empress
The Buff n and Buff Won Fitness Club.
Inside the gym, dynamic music pounded against the eardrums of everyone who entered, vibrating people's heartbeats like a pacemaker. The tallic clang of equipnt and the sound of gasps rising and falling mixed in with the music.
On the treadmills, people were sweating profusely, the LCD screens displaying ever-increasing mileage numbers. From the weights area ca the clanging impact of barbell plates as a lifter with bulging muscles completed a set of deadlifts, the veins on his neck popping.
The mirrored walls reflected countless rhythmic figures. The cold air from the AC couldn't suppress the rising waves of heat, and the entire space was filled with a vibrant atmosphere interwoven with hormones and self-discipline.
Arriving for the first ti, both Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai were deeply shocked by the scene before them.
As far as the eye could see, there were muscular, able-bodied n everywhere, burning fat and sweat. The roars that reached their ears sounded like fierce bulls bellowing.
And it wasn't just the n; even the won in tank tops were showing off clearly defined abs.
Standing here for comparison, the two of them looked like a pair of fresh-faced new recruits...
“Yanzi, where are the hot girls you promised…?”
Lu Zhai asked Zhou Yan beside him in a daze.
Just the biceps on the few won who had walked past were thicker than both of their arms combined. If one of them punched him, soone would have to pinch his philtrum and beg him not to die...
These weren't the kind of girls that guys like them could conquer... in any sense of the word...
“Uh… maybe the hot girls are still in the changing room…” Zhou Yan explained sheepishly.
Before coming, he had specifically asked a gym-going friend to recomnd a place with a lot of hot girls—ones with big chests—and his friend had recomnded this place.
It seems his friend didn't understand what he ant...
“So this is a gym where mortals exercise?”
Like Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai, Long Yue was also shocked by the scene before her.
With a single glance, she could see people whose arm muscles alone were bigger than her head!
These burly physiques were almost comparable to so of the pure body-cultivation experts in the Immortal Realm!
re mortals, in a world without spiritual power to temper their bodies, could actually train their physiques to be so sturdy!
Suddenly, she felt that she had sowhat underestimated the physical strength of the mortals in this world…
“That's right. Let's go, ti to change first.”
Lin Fan led Long Yue and the others toward the changing rooms.
After a quick change of clothes, the group returned to the main gym floor.
Lin Fan and the others had changed into simple shirts or tank tops and shorts, while Long Yue had changed into a standard workout outfit: a long-sleeved yoga top and leggings.
Although her body was completely covered, the form-fitting clothes still outlined her graceful and impressive figure.
“With a figure like that, what need does sister-in-law even have to work out…”
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai stared at Long Yue, amazed.
With sister-in-law standing in the gym in her workout clothes, in an instant, it felt as if all the other won in the gym lost their luster, completely unable to compare to her dazzling appearance and figure.
It wasn't the wild beauty of defined muscle lines, but rather the elegant grace of a slender figure with exquisite curves.
They had heard that sister-in-law ca to lose weight, but in their eyes, where was the need for a perfect figure like this to work out or diet? It was already perfectly balanced.
More perfect than any celebrity or female model they had ever seen.
Hearing Zhou Yan's praise and feeling the many secret gazes from the people around her, Long Yue blushed a little in embarrassnt, but more than that, she was secretly delighted. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards in happiness.
Even if she's gained a little weight, as the Empress, she is still, as expected, the center of attention~
It's ti to show these re mortals the true strength of her as the Empress! Her figure isn't just for show!
Long Yue scanned her surroundings and walked straight to the area where the dumbbells of various sizes were racked.
“10 kilograms… 15 kilograms… 20 kilograms… they all feel a bit light.”
Looking at the marked weights on the dumbbells before her, she frowned slightly, a look of disappointnt on her face.
In the past, she could move mountains and overturn seas with a wave of her hand, easily lifting objects weighing millions of tons. These things in front of her, weighing a re dozen or so kilograms, were absolutely nothing to her.
Seeing that the people on both her left and right were using 30-kilogram dumbbells for their bench presses, she silently walked over to the 40-kilogram dumbbells.
Even re mortals can lift 30-kilogram dumbbells. As the Empress, she can't possibly lift sothing lighter than a mortal, can she?
Seeing the slender Long Yue walk up to the 40kg dumbbells, the people in the gym were shocked. Many couldn't help but stop their workouts and cast curious glances her way.
Is she going to challenge the 40kg dumbbells?! No matter how you look at her, a girl with such a petite fra doesn't look like she could lift 40 kilograms! Could she be a hidden master?
“Lin Fan, it looks like sister-in-law is going to lift the 40kg dumbbells! Is she that strong?”
Zhou Yan walked over to Lin Fan's side, his gaze fixed on Long Yue, who was about to make her move.
He might not have eaten pork, but he'd seen a pig run. He had never lifted a 40kg dumbbell, but he knew very well that a standard water cooler jug weighs nearly 40 jin. A 40-kilogram dumbbell is equivalent to lifting two full water cooler jugs in one hand!
Lin Fan was also watching Long Yue intently, his brow slightly furrowed.
“She used to be very strong. But now...”
If it were before, this bit of weight would naturally be nothing to the Empress, but that was before.
He rembered that the Empress wasn't a body cultivator. Having lost all her spiritual power, it was hard to say how much of her own physical strength remained...
Under the crowd's focused gaze, Long Yue grasped the 40kg dumbbell on the rack with a relaxed expression and gave it a light tug upwards.
The dumbbell didn't move an inch, remaining on the rack as steady as Mount Tai.
Hmm? This little thing is quite heavy!
Long Yue's brows furrowed, and she began to pull at the dumbbell with all her strength.
“Nnggghhh…!!!”
As she exerted force with her arm, Long Yue gritted her teeth, her pretty face turning crimson from the strain, and the veins on her forehead bulged. But the dumbbell in her hand still didn't move…
The crowd: “…”
“What was I even expecting…”
“I don't know either…”
“With her figure and those biceps, you'd know she couldn't lift it even if you thought with your ass.”
“Probably just another internet celebrity here to take photos and check in. Let's disperse.”
“…”
The crowd's expectant gazes turned to disappointnt, and they all dispersed.
Huff… huff… huff…
Long Yue used all her strength but still couldn't move the dumbbell. Instead, she was left panting for breath.
Hearing the whispered mockery around her, her face, which was already red from the strain, grew even redder. She was so ashad she didn't even dare to turn around and face the crowd.
Originally, she had felt that even without her cultivation and spiritual power, lifting a re 40-kilogram dumbbell shouldn't be too much of a problem, and it would be a good chance to show off.
But the reality was that she had completely overestimated the strength she had left now...
Whether she admitted it or not, without her cultivation and spiritual power, she was no different from a mortal woman without even the strength to truss a chicken.
No, wait. She might even be weaker than the mortal won in the gym…
“Empress, you should use this one instead. This one might be more suitable for you. All beginners start like this.”
Lin Fan stepped forward and handed Long Yue a 2-kilogram pink dumbbell.
Long Yue: “…”
Looking at the tiny pink dumbbell before her, she felt utterly and completely humiliated…
