As he grew older, Xu Le was as cheerful and optimistic as he had been in his youth, but he spoke less and less. He was no longer as eloquent and crafty as he had been yesterday. It was probably due to some kind of genetic instinct. His sister, Huai Caoshi, was naturally not a person who was good at chatting. Usually, she would only talk about things as they were, simply and directly, and even crudely, put forward her arguments.
So when she suddenly threw out this question in the latter part of the conversation, Xu Le was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He scratched his head and answered, "This girl will lead the people of the West Woods in the future, at least on a spiritual level, so she must learn to be strong. This is what I think is the right way to educate her. As for those questions, I am not worried … Very few people know that I started killing people when I was 12. I grew up in the cruelest environment in the Federation and saw too many dirty and dark killings. I think that only by seeing too many of these can one understand the value of certain things."
Huai Caoshi frowned slightly. Looking at the warm sunlight on his face, she didn't know if it was because she felt sorry for her younger brother's tragic childhood in Donglin or because she thought of something else. After a short pause, she shook her head and said, "People like you are rare. After seeing too many dark scenes, it doesn't necessarily make people yearn for the sun. It's like a pool of unbearably smelly mud. White lotus may grow, but more often, maggots and rotting creatures are cultivated."
Xu Le thought that this was a very good analogy. He didn't know how to refute it, so he smiled and drank the cold tea in his cup. His mood was still calm. That little girl was his child, and only he could be sure how to accompany her as she grew up.

Next to the shabby library was a shabby classroom. Most of the chairs in the room had been taken by the students as weapons against the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency, so it seemed a little empty. Zhong Huoyan, who had grown into a beautiful girl, leaned against the window. Using the clear light coming in from outside, she looked at a small mirror and carefully trimmed the hair in front of her forehead. The scissors were extremely sharp and cold.
Her hair, which had been coarsely dyed light brown by the town's female hairdresser, was cut off by the sharp blade. Staring at the sharp scissors, the girl's eyes did not blink. She was unusually calm, allowing the fine strands of hair to slowly fall to the ground.
In front of her, there was an old man with white powder on his face. He looked kind and amiable. He was saying something in a low voice. The kindness in his eyes was strange. His attitude was very humble, but occasionally, there would be a trace of arrogance in his eyes that only a real big shot could have.
This old man was the Deputy Director of the Imperial Palace. No matter where he appeared, he would be greeted with infinite respect. Even the powerful Governor of the Empire had to habitually flatter him. However, no matter how humble his attitude was and how soft his voice was, Zhong Huoyan did not respond. She just calmly tidied her hair and did not even look at him.
"Could it be that you don't like the identity of the little princess? No matter where you appear, you will have the supreme glory of being one of the top three people in the Empire. No one will dare to oppose you, and no one will dare to go against your will. "
In the eyes of the old Deputy General Manager, Zhong Huoyan was just an ignorant young girl. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and persuaded with a smile, "Young Commandery Princess, you should persuade His Highness to return to the palace. Only in this way, you don't have to run around like you are now. You can enjoy the beautiful life that I just mentioned."
Hearing this, Zhong Huoyan finally reacted. She gently put down the sharp scissors in her hand and calmly looked at the Director of the Imperial Palace. She said, "Since the day I was born, I have always been called the little princess. Do you think I care about the title of princess?"
The Deputy Director smiled awkwardly and said, "How can a corner of the West Woods be compared to the vast Empire?"
Zhong Huoyan narrowed her eyes and smiled innocently like a little white rabbit on the two moons. She shrugged and suddenly said in a cold tone, "When has your Empire ever defeated our West Woods?"

The most luxurious restaurant on the top floor of Mulberry Zhi state government had been booked. Now that the rebellion in the Empire had been quelled, the nobles who booked the restaurant no longer had to worry about the bullets coming from afar. In the light music, the sound of silver forks rubbing against porcelain plates echoed.
Zhong Huoyan opened her clear and bright eyes and looked curiously at the woman beside her brother. Although that woman was her brother's sister, she was not going to call her sister. Although she had never seen her before, she knew very well what kind of power this extraordinarily ordinary woman, who wore the Empire's military uniform and did not look like a woman, had in this universe.
"How does it feel to be the strongest woman?"
She put down the knife and fork in her hand and looked at Huai Caoshi and asked very seriously, "No matter how strong a woman is, she will have to marry in the future. What should we do in that case?"
This was a very abrupt and even somewhat impolite question, but Huai Caoshi did not express any displeasure. Instead, she sank into a long silence, as if seriously considering the answer.
Xu Le was not used to this kind of atmosphere. He drank a mouthful of orange juice and looked at Huai Caoshi and asked, "You will have to marry in the end."
Because of his words, Huai Caoshi easily found the answer. She looked at him expressionlessly and said, "If you are willing to return to the palace, I will naturally marry. But if you don't return to the palace, I will inherit the throne. How will I marry? Who dares to marry a female Emperor? "
"Oh, my Creator." Zhong Huoyan's fingers lifted the hair in front of her forehead and sighed helplessly. "Your Royal Highness, can you not always put pressure on Brother Xu Le?"
Huai Caoshi looked at her and asked, "What about you? What kind of person do you want to be in the future? "
"In the future, I will have to return to the West Woods."
Zhong Huoyan glanced at Xu Le and turned her head with a smile. "I want to integrate the power of the West Woods and complete my revenge on the Federation government. I want to kill Pabre and Lee Jae-do. Then, depending on my mood, maybe I will think of a way to make the West Woods independent."
A fifteen-year-old girl, calmly speaking of her life's ideals amidst the gentle music. Such a strange and terrifying life ideal was a very strange scene. But whether it was Xu Le or Huai Caoshi, they did not think that this was a child's nonsense. Because she was the little princess of the West Woods, there were still countless people of the West Woods who were loyal to her. In addition to Xu Le's relationship with many more people, these ideals were not necessarily far away.
After a long silence, Huai Caoshi gently wiped the corner of her mouth and looked at Xu Le with a faint smile. "This is the result of your education."
This was the first time Xu Le had heard the little watermelon's inner thoughts. He roughly understood that this was her true desire after seeing Huai Caoshi, the most powerful woman in the universe. For a moment, he was speechless.
"But I welcome it."
Huai Caoshi looked at the girl and said calmly, "On behalf of the Empire, I welcome your great idea of making the West Woods independent."
