Volume 3 Chapter 71 - About to have a child! (1/2)

“According to last month’s stats, right now, there are a total of eight thousand four hundred and fifty one people who applied for labour cards through our New Moon Chamber of Commerce. The biggest part of that is dwarves, with a total of four thousand seven hundred and ninety two people, then it’s beastmen with two thousand four hundred and forty seven people, and finally it’s elves with one thousand two hundred and twelve people.”

Still finished her report before looking at Xu Yi with a confused expression.

“Xu Yi, I’m very curious. Why do you insist on letting other races become a part of our human society?”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “It’s because other races have abilities that humans don’t have, so compared to separating them from human society and even having them oppose us, wouldn’t it be better for them to be a part of our society and contribute to developing that society?”

“I understand you need the elves and dwarves since the elves have magic knowledge that humans don’t have and dwarves are naturally skilled at crafting. But as for the beastmen…..I don’t see any part of them that is stronger than us humans.” Still still had a confused look.

“Of course there is. For example, they are stronger, so many physical jobs in factories are given to beastmen. A single beastmen worker is equal to three human workers and their wages are lower, so it’s more convenient to use them.” Xu Yi said with a smile, “Then again, the fox and rabbit beastmen have their own specialties. Look, didn’t the first performance of your performance troop create quite a stir?”

Still rolled her eyes at Xu Yi, “That is only because everyone was curious about the beastmen girls and the performance you mentioned was very new. However, those beastmen girls don’t stand out that much, the one in charge of teaching them performance art isn’t satisfied with them at all.”

“Then be a bit more patient.” Xu Yi shook his head and said, “I only hope that the beastmen girls can become a window for us humans to look into the lives of the beastmen, so everyone won’t fight the beastmen anymore and it’ll be easier to hire more beastmen.”

“Un, those beastmen girls are also working hard. Also they’re very obedient, they do whatever I tell them to do.” Still looked at Xu Yi and suddenly revealed a faint smile, “Xu Yi, those fox and rabbit girls are very beautiful, do you want me to introduce you to a few of them? They are very interested in you.”

Xu Yi rolled his eyes and pinched Still’s face.

“I don’t have the time to meet them. I’ll leave this performance troupe to you, I won’t meddle. If you don’t do well, humph, humph, see how I take care of you.”

Still looked over at Xu Yi, “Humph, come if you have the skills, I’m not afraid of you…..”

Halfway through her words, Still suddenly knit her brows. Her expression became a bit pained and held her stomach as she bent over to throw up.

Xu Yi was scared and softly patted her back. He asked in a worried voice, “What is it? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”

Still’s sudden reaction didn’t last long and she returned to normal after throwing up for a bit.

“It’s fine.” Seeing Xu Yi’s worried gaze, Still shook her head and comforted him, “It’s just that I’ve felt a bit of discomfort recently and wanted to throw up. But there’s nothing else wrong, so you don’t need to worry.”

“Is it because it’s been too busy at the New Moon Chamber of Commerce and you’re tired?” Xu Yi said with a frown, “How about you hand this matter to your assistant and rests for a bit?”

“It’s fine, it’s really nothing.” Still waved her hand, “I’ll go see a doctor tomorrow, it should be a small matter.”

Xu Yi seriously looked over Still’s face and he kept asking about her body, but Still kept telling him that she was fine, so he calmed down.

“Alright, tomorrow morning, I’ll take you to the doctor. No, I’ll have someone bring the doctor over now.” Xu Yi stood up and when he went out to find someone to have them bring the best doctor to the Falling Rain Valley, there were two figures that appeared at the door. It was Agnes and elder Illusia.

“Chairman, where are you going?” Agnes saw the anxious Xu Yi and asked this.

Xu Yi was a bit surprised to see elder Illusia, but he quickly replied, “Still’s sick, I wanted to get someone to bring a doctor over from Banta City.”

“Ah?” Still’s sick? I’ll go take a look.” Agnes charged into the room without another word.

Elder Illusia said with a faint smile, “Chairman Xu, if you don’t mind, let me take a look at young miss Still. I’ve done some research into your human medicine before?”

“Oh?” Xu Yi looked at her in surprise, “You actually studied our human medicine?”

“We elves have very long lives, so we have to find things to do.” Elder Illusia explained, “Although my level can’t be compared to your human doctors, I do have a bit of confidence.”

Xu Yi had known elder Illusia for a long time, so he knew that she didn’t speak nonsense. Since she was confident, it meant that her human medicine knowledge wasn’t weak.

After also inviting elder Illusia in, he found that Agnes was by Still, questioning her with a concerned look.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi couldn’t help revealing a smile.

Without knowing it, Agnes and Still had become quite close.

Elder Illusia came to Still’s side and reached her hand out towards still. She looked into her mouth and after a few questions, she revealed a happy look before turning to Xu Yi, “Chairman Xu, congratulations.”

“Congratulations?” Xu Yi was stunned, “Congratulate me on what?”

Elder Illusia looked at Still with a wide smile before saying to Xu Yi, “Young miss Still isn’t sick. If I’m not wrong, she should be pregnant. Giving birth to a descendant is something worth congratulating.”
