Chapter 867: Husband, my water seems to have broken
The farmland distributed around the cities was also re-cultivated and planted.
The two major commercial alliances of the Federation from back then finished their complete reorganization and began tentative commercial activities with other surrounding countries.
The Huaxia Federation was not completely closed off; even if it were, it was only closed off domestically.
The new Huaxia Commercial Alliance began collecting resources abroad and bringing them back to sell in the country, temporarily monopolizing the domestic market.
The classics Su Yang brought back from the Qingluan Kingdom's Royal Library were printed in large quantities and sent to the eight major military departments, where scientific research institutes in various places began to study and digest them in a tense and busy manner.
Su Yang also used his relationship with Qin Qin Longyun of the Qingluan Kingdom, as well as the intelligence network established by the Federation in advance, to scout for Beastmaster talents in the Qingluan Kingdom and hired them at high prices to come to the Huaxia Federation to serve and teach.
At the same time, the students of the Huaxia Federation, for the first time in three hundred years, learned the subject of foreign languages.
They were mainly learning the official languages circulating near the Qingluan Kingdom and the Shenfeng Kingdom for the sake of convenient communication in the future.
The students of the Huaxia Federation were going to start having headaches again.
However, if they learned well, they would also have quite good prospects.
At least at the current stage, the Huaxia Federation was in great need of such foreign language talents.
Perhaps they could even enter certain institutions or work for the Huaxia Commercial Alliance.
If they hadn't awakened their Beastmaster talent, this was also another way out.
Perhaps because they had just entered the energy-rich Great World of Beastmasters, in the past half year, the strength of the Huaxia Federation's Beastmasters had also entered an explosive period!
Many Beastmasters who had been stuck at bottlenecks for years achieved breakthroughs.
In addition to Marshal Xu and Mo Mo Yunjian, who had previously broken through to the Emperor-level, four more Emperor-level Beastmasters appeared in the Huaxia Federation.
Of these four Emperor-level Beastmasters, three were veteran generals from the military!
And one was the former President of the Treasure Pavilion, now Vice President of the Huaxia Commercial Alliance, Geng Xiaofang.
There were also many others who broke through to the King-level.
The number of registered King-level Beastmasters in the Huaxia Federation directly exceeded one hundred and fifty.
This might be unremarkable in other Beastmaster countries.
But for the Huaxia Federation with its thin foundation, it was a visible growth in strength.
Over the past half year, Liu Liu Mengyun's belly had become increasingly prominent.
This made Qin Xiaoxiao very envious.
As long as she had the energy, the opportunity, and Su Yang had the time, she would pester him.
But even though Su Yang plowed the field so hard he almost broke it, there was still no movement in Qin Xiaoxiao's belly.
It wasn't that there was a problem with Qin Xiaoxiao, nor was there anything wrong with Su Yang's body; it was simply because it was not easy for God-level Beastmasters to conceive children.
After he and Liu Liu Mengyun decided to have a child, it took a good while of effort before Liu Liu Mengyun finally conceived.
The only not-so-good news was perhaps the negotiations with the Eight Treasures Pavilion.
The Eight Treasures Pavilion really wanted to enter the Huaxia Federation, but the Huaxia Federation lacked sincerity.
After half a year of tug-of-war, the Eight Treasures Pavilion seemed to have realized that the Huaxia Federation was intentionally dragging its feet.
The negotiators sent to the Huaxia Federation began to slack off!
If the Huaxia Federation had no sincerity, how could they negotiate?
Chen Chen Tianwu, who was in charge of the negotiations, expressed his dissatisfaction with the Huaxia Federation in a very subtle way!
After all, the longer things dragged on, the more incompetent Chen Chen Tianwu appeared.
Regarding this, Su Yang could only say sorry to Chen Chen Tianwu in his heart.
The Federation leadership had long prepared a contingency plan, and seeing the Eight Treasures Pavilion becoming dissatisfied, they took a small step back and threw out another very sincere proposal.
That was to let the Eight Treasures Pavilion buy shares in the Huaxia Commercial Alliance, on the condition that the Eight Treasures Pavilion open up some confidential knowledge of the Beastmaster world to the Huaxia Federation.
It was another way of exchanging money and market access for knowledge and technology.
It sounded quite sincere.
Su Yang had previously learned from Yun Yun Shuying that the Eight Treasures Pavilion adopted this cooperative, win-win approach within the borders of some powerful countries.
Of course, a powerful country did not refer to an unstable country like the Qingluan Kingdom, which was only supported by one God-level Beastmaster...
At the very least, it had to possess two God-level Beastmasters to ensure the smooth succession of the country.
It would not collapse due to the death of an emperor.
As soon as Chen Chen Tianwu heard this, he felt there was new progress.
If the Eight Treasures Pavilion could hold more than eighty percent of the shares in the Huaxia Commercial Alliance, this matter was not impossible to discuss...
Eighty percent of the shares?
Upon first hearing Chen Chen Tianwu's request, Su Yang really wanted to dig out Chen Chen Tianwu's heart to see if it was black.
But Liu Liu Mengyun was very calm and said they could continue to negotiate.
It was considered in line with the Federation's current strategy.
During this half-year period, the strength of Su Yang, Sovereign Jiazi, Xia Na, and Liu Liu Mengyun also steadily improved.
On Su Yang's side, the Three-Headed Demon Shark was upgraded to low-grade God-level.
Except for the Extinction Phoenix, all of Su Yang's pet beasts had broken through to low-grade God-level.
On Sovereign Jiazi's side, with the Golden-Scaled Mermaid and the Human-Faced Spider as low-grade God-level pet beasts, her Nine-Tailed Demon Fox reached the peak of Emperor-level.
Su Yang and Sovereign Jiazi would take turns staying in the Huaxia Federation; the Huaxia Federation needed a God-level Beastmaster to hold the fort!
Sovereign Jiazi had already been exposed, so it was not a big problem.
As long as Su Yang killed the invading enemies, it would be counted on Sovereign Jiazi's head.
Xia Na's overall strength was a notch lower, and she had recently been working hard to improve the Sky Demon Insect.
Plus, since she was the weakest, Su Yang let her be.
Su Yang also had some expectations for Xia Na.
As for Liu Liu Mengyun, she was pregnant, and Su Yang could not let her be too exhausted.
Occasionally, when Liu Liu Mengyun's hands itched and she wanted to go out to kill some fierce beasts to relax, Su Yang would follow her, protect her, and stay by her side.
If she wanted to kill, let her kill!
Anyway, Su Yang was watching her, and as a God-level Beastmaster, his body was also extremely good.
Two more months passed, and as Liu Liu Mengyun's due date approached, Su Yang became nervous.
Marshal Xu learned the news and wanted to send a group of experienced, famous obstetricians to care for Liu Liu Mengyun, but Su Yang only accepted one.
One experienced obstetrician was enough for the time being!
It wasn't that he didn't care about Liu Liu Mengyun, but he felt it was unnecessary.
The body of a God-level Beastmaster had long since surpassed that of an ordinary person.
In the secret forest of the Great World of Beastmasters, a bright ice blade easily pierced through the body of an Emperor-level fierce beast.
The Emperor-level fierce beast let out a miserable cry, its body covered in frost.
However, Liu Liu Mengyun stood in place, not moving.
Su Yang asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Husband, my water seems to have broken..."
