Chapter 1428

"This won't work!"

Su Yang categorically rejected this proposal!

"General Su, you're being very insincere!"

"No, I'm being perfectly sincere!" Su Yang said. "That divine beast has an extremely low chance of being tamed—by the end, you might still have to kill it. But it's the totem of the Huaxia Federation; I once fought alongside it against the sea beast tide, and we have some history."

"Your Majesty, besides, if you tame that divine beast and then turn on me, wouldn't I be in grave danger?"

Qin Longyun suddenly felt a flicker of danger!

As a divine beast born natively in the small world, it truly might form a pact with Su Yang.

At the very least, the probability is far higher than for an outsider like Qin Longyun!

This is one of the key reasons he's willing to compromise with Su Yang: before the small world descended, divine beasts born within it harbored hostility toward the Shoushidou Society of the Great World of Beast Taming…

Qin Longyun said: "General Su, you must believe that my word as Qin Longyun is absolute—we can sign a bilateral cooperation document!"

"I don't believe in documents, and I don't believe in your character!" Su Yang laughed, pointing at himself. "I don't even trust my own character—how can you expect me to trust you?"

"…"

Qin Longyun suddenly realized that Su Yang wasn't just powerful—he was also shameless!

Seeing the atmosphere grow silent, Su Yang continued: "But I can accept your previous condition. I'm merely a general of the Huaxia Federation—I have no authority or right to interfere in other nations' affairs!"

Qin Longyun asked seriously: "On the Blue Planet, how many people are there with Su General's level of strength?"

"Right now, only me!"

This isn't a secret—Qin Longyun, as a divine-level beast tamer, could simply go there and confirm it himself.

Besides, Su Yang remembered that the Vanguard force of the Qingniao Kingdom had already probed the overall strength of the Blue Planet; Commander Zhang Kui himself said so last time in Xiong City.

Saying this could temporarily soothe Qin Longyun.

If the Huaxia Federation were too strong, it would worry him.

As long as he buys time until Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi, and Xia Na grow stronger, if they dare to stir trouble, Su Yang will give Qin Longyun a massive surprise!

"Then let's do this: I give up on that divine beast, but you must assist me once in the future!"

"If the opposing force is too strong, I won't help!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said. "If it's a ferocious beast, aside from the divine beast on the Blue Planet, I can help if I can."

At this stage, the Huaxia Federation's overall strength is nowhere near that of other nations in the Great World of Beast Taming—Su Yang doesn't want to make enemies everywhere!

He's not a god!

If the Huaxia Federation descended into this world and several nations attacked from all sides, Su Yang couldn't save the Federation.

Avoid making enemies whenever possible!

Bide your time!

Bide your time until Liu Mengyun and the others grow strong enough to stand on their own.

"Then add one more condition: if the Feng family attacks you, I'm not responsible."

Su Yang nodded: "Agreed!"

From start to finish, Qin Longyun had never mentioned Feng Yu.

Su Yang even began to wonder what Qin Longyun truly felt for Feng Yu!

Of course, if Qin Longyun didn't bring it up, Su Yang certainly wouldn't ask.

Su Yang's view of Qin Longyun was this: Qin Longyun admired Feng Yu, but his desire for her wasn't that deep.

Otherwise, with Qin Longyun's strength, even by force, he could have taken Feng Yu as his wife!

Feng Yu's family, while powerful,

would certainly yield if Qin Longyun had the determination!

"Agreed!" Qin Longyun said. "The compensation matter is settled!"

"Good, it's settled!"

Strictly speaking, the Huaxia Federation hadn't lost anything.

For Su Yang, the Qingniao Kingdom's demand was simply that he lend his strength once.

Even Su Yang thought Qin Longyun was being slightly too courteous!

Qin Longyun said: "Then let's discuss the terms for peaceful coexistence between our two nations!"

"Fine, go ahead—what terms?"

Su Yang had a feeling the real meat of the negotiation was about to begin.
