Transmigrating to the Beast World: The Furry, Hentai Boss Begs for a Pregnancy
Chapter 32: Cooperation Achieved!
After his thoughts were exposed, Shi Yan inevitably felt somewhat lost and confused.
He coughed twice, trying to ease the awkwardness, his eyes flashing with helplessness and compromise.
Upon hearing this, Xia Gu's lips curled into a smug smile, as if she had already anticipated that Shi Yan would say such a thing.
Her gaze swept over Xue Lan, who was silently supporting her, and she felt even more confident.
"Since Chief Shiyan is so agreeable, then I won't stand on ceremony either. First, the High Mountain Tribe should establish a closer trade relationship with the Gemstone Tribe so that our orcs can obtain more necessities and precious resources."
Shi Yan nodded slightly. This request was not excessive. After all, trade could enhance mutual understanding and cooperation, which would benefit both sides.
"That's natural. I will have people open up trade channels to ensure the unimpeded flow of goods."
Seeing that Shi Yan agreed so readily, Xia Gu slowly proposed a second condition.
"Secondly, we hope to participate in the mining of gemstones. Before mining begins, we can pay your gemstone tribe a corresponding percentage of the cost."
This request startled Shi Yan slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
Gemstone mines are of great importance to the gemstone tribe, but if the mountain tribes are willing to pay, it's not impossible to discuss the details.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Yan nodded. "Anything else?"
"Finally..." Xia Gu smiled slightly, "The mountain tribe should have more say in future decisions, especially when it comes to issues that involve our common interests."
This demand touched on the core of power, and Shi Yan's expression instantly turned serious.
However, he soon realized that giving the mountain tribes a certain degree of say would not only enhance mutual trust but also enable them to work together to deal with external threats at critical moments.
Shi Yan glanced at Xue Lan, who remained silent, and said thoughtfully, "...I can consider this request. But it will take time to implement gradually, after all, the distribution of power is not something that can be done overnight."
At that moment, he secretly felt annoyed.
Because of his momentary negligence, the little female made several outrageous demands.
But he was no match for Xue Lan, and now that they were on the territory of the High Mountain Tribe, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Seeing the troubled look on Shi Yan's face, Xia Gu smiled faintly.
"Chief Shiyan, I believe these conditions are not difficult for you."
Shi Yan took a deep breath and immediately looked at Xue Lan beside him.
The golden orc's eyes were calm as still water, yet they suppressed his reluctance to make any rash moves.
He knew all too well that any provocation against this powerful class of fighters could trigger unnecessary conflict.
Therefore, he chose a more cautious approach.
“Little female… Chieftain’s wife, your proposal is indeed very sincere, but some terms… may require further discussion within our tribe.”
Shi Yan's words carried a hint of tact, attempting to gain more room for maneuver.
Xia Gu smiled slightly, as if she had already anticipated Shi Yan's reaction.
"Of course, but our time is precious, so we hope you can give us a reply as soon as possible."
Xue Lan stood in front of Xia Gu and suddenly spoke up: "Clan Chief Shi Yan, I hope you will seriously consider these conditions."
Shi Yan secretly made his own plans.
If you directly refuse the little female's conditions, it is very likely to anger Xue Lan.
“I am willing to accept most of the conditions, but there are a few that I hope can be adjusted to ensure that they are in the best interests of our Gem Tribe without compromising our friendship.”
Shi Yan's words carried a hint of sincerity, an attempt to balance the interests.
Xia Gu nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Xue Lan, on the other hand, looked at him with an almost scrutinizing gaze.
Shi Yan's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible tension, but it couldn't hide his determination to fight for the rights of the Gemstone Tribe.
“Our Gemstone Tribe has always been peaceful and uncontested, but in this cooperation, we still hope to gain more control over resource allocation and a priority position in the cooperation.”
"Furthermore, we hope to receive some technical support in order to better develop our gemstone craftsmanship."
After Shi Yan finished speaking, he immediately looked at the expressions on the faces of the two men.
These requests were reasonable, but Xia Gu and Xue Lan remained silent.
Shi Yan nervously rubbed his hands together, his gaze fixed on Xia Gu's inscrutable face.
He secretly wondered if he had gone too far with any of his suggestions.
Thinking of this, Shi Yan's voice carried a hint of caution, "The Gemstone Tribe and the Mountain Tribe live side by side and have always lived in harmony. What I'm proposing is also what our Gemstone Tribe needs."
"Chief Shiyan, I believe everyone has long-term plans for each other's tribes. We still need to discuss this matter further."
Xue Lan turned her head to the side, thinking that she should ask Xue Xin to come over. With him there, the cooperation could proceed more smoothly.
Shi Yan thought Xue Lan didn't want to cooperate anymore, so he immediately spoke up: "Of course, we can also fight for only one right. Our Gemstone Tribe has abundant and beautiful gemstones, which will surely create more value."
Xia Gu clicked her tongue.
It seems that those unidentified creatures have had a significant impact on Shi Yan, otherwise he wouldn't have been so eager to agree just to ask Xue Lan for help.
"Okay."
Xia Gu agreed on Xue Lan's behalf, "Then let's draft a cooperation agreement and sign it."
"I'll go call Xuexin."
Xue Lan told her to stay in the beast cave for a while, and then brought Xue Xin over.
Xue Xin was surprised that they would cooperate with the Gemstone Tribe so soon. She immediately admired Xue Lan and Xia Gu, and nodded slightly after learning about Shi Yan's cooperation terms.
"Hello, Chief Shiyan, we can discuss the specific details of resource sharing in more depth."
“Your gem tribe has many gemstone mines. We can mine the ore together, and then we will be responsible for processing it into various precious gemstone products for sale.”
Shi Yan's eyes lit up; this suggestion was undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.
There are many orcs in the mountain tribes, and there must be quite a few orcs who like gems.
Once gemstone products circulate among the mountain tribes, it will undoubtedly be a huge source of income for them.
Xue Xin glanced at him and continued, "In addition, regarding the exchange of skills, we can also set up a regular exchange meeting so that craftsmen from both sides have the opportunity to learn from each other. This will not only improve our skill level, but also deepen the friendship between the two tribes."
Shi Yan nodded repeatedly, his joy beyond words.
"Agreed, I completely agree."
As the cooperation deepened, the atmosphere between Shi Yan and them gradually became more harmonious.
After Shi Yan signed the document without hesitation, he hesitated before speaking, "That unidentified creature that threatens us..."
Xue Lan raised an eyebrow. "Leave it to me."
