Huo Shaoying pursed her lips, looked away from the gloomy sky outside the hall, and said softly, "You once told me that you didn't want to see displaced people and corpses strewn across the fields anymore, that you didn't want young children to drop out of school early to support themselves, that you didn't want those who lived actively to be oppressed to the point of being unable to lift their heads, that you didn't want frequent wars and people suffering... These are the meanings of your becoming the leader."

With each word she uttered, the anger on the First Leader's face lessened a little. She stared at Huo Shaoying, her lips moving slightly.

Suddenly, she clenched her fists at her sides, her expression becoming resolute and determined once again.

She raised her voice and said, "No! I want you to live the life you deserve! You won't be abandoned because of some absurd rumors anymore. You can grow up happily, read all the books you want to read, learn everything you want to learn, and go wherever you want to go—that's the meaning!"

She roared out the last half of the sentence, as if not allowing the other party any room for rebuttal.

Huo Shaoying closed her eyes and remained silent.

Nan Xian, who was lost in thought, was brought back to her senses by her earth-shattering voice. She turned to look at them, blinked, and belatedly realized the core of their heated conversation.

"Zhi beast?" Why does that name sound so familiar?

She muttered something to herself, but as soon as she finished speaking, several fragments of "memory" that she had absolutely no recollection of suddenly surfaced in her mind—

A man whose face was obscured was being chased by several strange, ferocious-looking beasts. The mountain path was difficult to traverse, and he stumbled and fell, getting closer and closer to the beasts behind him.

Suddenly, he tripped over a bamboo shoot that had just sprouted from the ground, lost his balance instantly, and fell heavily to the ground.

His clothes had already been torn by the wild beast during the earlier chase, and with this fall, a large piece of skin was scraped off his arm by the hard stone, and blood immediately flowed out.

The scent of blood further enraged the beasts, who roared madly and opened their gaping maws, revealing pairs of fangs—

Just as the foremost wild animal was about to bite the man's leg, Nan Xian leaped down from the treetop, suspending herself on the grass with her arms crossed, watching them with a half-smile.

Upon seeing her, the wild beasts instantly lost their ferocity, tucked their tails between their legs, and fled as if chased by a ghost. The beast that had almost bitten the man was particularly frightened, slipped while running away, and fell to the ground in a sorry state. It quickly scrambled to its feet, covered in mud, and slunk into the depths of the forest.

Nan Xian was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing, unable to hold back her laughter: "Hahahaha..."

Across the table, the two people who were silently confronting each other looked at her in surprise.

Nan Xian quickly shut up, scratching her head awkwardly, "Um, I wasn't laughing at you guys—"

Huo Shaoying: ......

First Leader: ......

It's better if you don't explain; the more you explain, the more it seems like it!

Nan Xian realized this too, but at this point it wasn't about what she was laughing at. She quickly asked, "The 'pig beast' you were talking about earlier, is it an animal that looks like a tiger, has a tail like a cow's tail, has a pair of long tusks like a wild boar, and makes a sound like a dog's bark?"

The first leader nodded. "Has Miss Nan met you?"

Nan Xian smiled meaningfully, "Yes, I have met you before." She had met you in her past life.

The First Leader was much more direct than Huo Shaoying. Upon hearing this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she eagerly asked, "With your abilities, what are your chances of winning against the Boar Beast...?"

Nan Xian blinked, recalling how those boars had run away in terror when they saw her. Her lips twitched, and she almost burst out laughing again.

"Cough cough..." She clenched her fist to her lips, looked up and saw the First Leader looking at her eagerly. Her inner ego of showing off rose unconsciously. "It's alright, it's only 100%."
