BORING. BORING. BORING. BORING!! Mira rolled her eyes and groaned.

This was not what was on her mind when she thought of a council leaders meeting. She thought the beast world would be different but it was a typical conference meeting just with a smaller gathering of beast people sat around a large, round, wooden table. These cheetahs had style, Mira had to give them that. They all had fashionable furs and cowries jewellery on, with either gold markings on their bodies or gold jewellery. They looked so sophisticated yet so serious.

Mira sighed. Being here made her sleepy but she chose this so she was not escaping it. I should have just stayed in the room, Mira whined in her mind. She imagined sneaking a hand job to Ming Tao during the meeting before she arrived at this place.

The council did not welcome her into the meeting. They did not even let her sit next to them, she was singled out at a far corner while they communicated. Their discontentment with her presence was not hidden at all and this was insane. This clan was crawling with people who wanted her dead. Even the insects in this clan would want her dead at this point.

"And what about you, wife of the Mighty Cheetah. Have anything of value to add?" Shot across the room. The voice, crude and dissatisfied, belonged to a woman. Sleep knocked out of Mira’s eyes immediately.

Huh? She was supposed to listen? Wasn’t the entire point of ensuring she was away from them for her to make herself invisible?

"I have not paid any attention to your discussion." Mira blurted out.

The woman who queries her had this look that said; of course, as always, and that offended Mira. "But you can ask again and I will give you my input." Mira stated.

The eyes of the council leaders rested on her and so did Ming Tao’s. They all bore condescending gazes.

The old owner of this body may not have been interested in the affairs of the beast world but she ensured to keep her mind updated on everything so Mira could handle everything they brought her way. At least, that was what Mira thought.

"Right." The same woman said, her tone insinuated that this was pointless but she was going to give it a shot anyway. "Well, we had a discussion about the hunting infrastructure and how the change in season has made our food scarce within our territory and beyond. Currently, we have nothing stored to carry the clan through the season and it is a major problem. Do you have anything to add on how we can solve this?" The lady’s bored look made Mira want to slap her but Mira kept her cool. If she wanted to make the people of this clan hate her less, then she needed to start with the leaders.

Mira stayed silent for a while, deep in thought.

"So you have nothing. Just as we thought, another waste of time." The lady said.

I swear, if Ming Tao was not here I would rip your hair out, Mira thought, her anger projected at the lady.

"Have you thought about producing your own food?" Mira stated.

All of them had a confused look on their faces.

"In case your little brain had not assimilated this yet, we are not herbivores." The woman said.

"Language, Yu Xuan. That is my wife you are speaking to." Ming Tao cautioned. His tone had a deadly quiet that made Yu Xuan shiver.

"Forgive me, Mighty Cheetah." Yu Xuan said, her face bowed even though Ming Tao was not looking at her. "I am sorry, the wife." Yu Xuan apologized to Mira, her tone firmer than it was when she referred to Ming Tao.

Bitch, this lady is definitely a Karen, Mira thought.

"For your information, ’Yu Xuan’ I did not mean grass. You look bright but you do not sound it." Mira shot back. Ming Tao’s lips curled as she said that and she noticed. He was. . . proud of her? She could not tell but she proceeded. "As you say, the season has pushed your lunch away, but have you tried pulling them back? Maybe the reason hunting rabbits are not running around is because they have nothing to feed on. They too need to survive. The cheetah clan has soul rich with nutrients. If you invested in farming crops your food will want to eat, then more will populate the clan. It is like lives stock! Feeding your food so they can reproduce and feed you." Mira stated.

Yu Xuan looked surprised. She did not see that coming and it made this Mira mad. The old Mira may have pretended not to care but she was not foolish. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"I. . ." Yu Xuan cleared her throat. "That. . ."

"Got no words? You seemed really mouthy before." Mira spoke in her stead. Yu Xuan shut her opened mouth and looked away. The other council leaders were quiet, amazement in their faces while Ming Tao kept his smirk.

"That sounds brilliant. Apparently, none of the wise council leaders could think of that." Ming Tao remarked.

Neither could you, Mira said to herself. She wanted to say that out loud but held it in.

"Farming, you say. That sounds like it takes a lot of work. And how sure are we that the food will come when we do indeed farm?" Yu Xuan said. It was then Mira understood that these people had never heard the word farming. They had no idea what it was.

And they had the audacity to hate me? Grow some knowledge, pfft! Mira thought.

[New side task: Teach the cheetah clan how to farm in three days!

Failure to complete side task results in death!]

Mira swallowed. Of course system had the craziest times to give her missions. She had not yet slept with Ming Tao and she already had the risk of dying TWICE!!

"Let me word it in simple words that you can understand. Animal see food. Animals come. Animals call fellow animals to feed on food. Animals begin to mate and reproduce and grow young ones in that safe food area. We, the caretakers, have the responsibility to ensure they mate and populate the farm. And we will never have to grow hungry again throughout the seasons."
