Yang Fei only felt a refreshing coolness permeating his skin, quite comfortable, and couldn't help but make a sound of surprise.

"This Golden Butterfly of yours sure is useful, it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

Nuannuan lifted her head, smiling like a little demon.

"Of course it's useful, the marks won't disappear for a long time."

Yang Fei was startled, and looked down. He saw the bite marks on his wrist, stained with the Dreamlike Golden Butterfly's juice, turned golden yellow, emitting a faint dazzling glow, like painted with gold powder.

Nuannuan explained proudly from the side.

"The coloring of this Dreamlike Golden Butterfly can penetrate the skin and reach the bone, once ordinary people get stained, they can never get rid of it in their lifetime."

"Even if your metabolism is strong, it would still take a long time to eliminate this mark."

At this, the little girl giggled sweetly.

"Maybe by that time, Uncle, you'll have fallen in love with me, after all, I'm so adorable, right?"

Yang Fei stared at her, while rolling up his sleeves.

"Whether I love you or not, I don't know, but now I just want to spank you."

Nuannuan panicked inside and shrank into the tent.

Yang Fei chased after her, pinned her body, flipped her over, and slapped her on her drum.

"Uncle, I don't dare anymore, ooh ooh, it hurts so much."

...

Outside the tent, the moonlight was dim, Nuannuan's screams were particularly clear, the sentries nearby all craned their necks to eavesdrop.

After this night, Sha Jin's mercenaries completely changed their attitude towards Yang Fei and Nuannuan, wishing they could treat them like ancestors.

No one dared to look directly at Yang Fei and Nuannuan, even Sha Jin himself hid from Yang Fei, not daring to meet him.

This is the power of the Tiger Ghost, the seed of fear was planted in everyone's heart by Yang Fei.

Everyone, upon seeing Yang Fei, naturally trembled as if mice met a cat.

Such a small mercenary group, walking through the desert, often encountered similar mercenaries coming and going.

Generally speaking, such encounters don't turn into conflict or battle, since there's no conflict of interest.

Besides escorting Yang Fei and Nuannuan, Sha Jin's Mercenaries were also responsible for escorting a batch of supplies, including penicillin antibiotics, firearms, and narcotics.

Yang Fei couldn't be bothered with others' business, and Sha Jin didn't dare to have much contact with Yang Fei, both sides kept a tacitool yet distant relationship.

After trekking through the desert for seven or eight days, whenever Yang Fei got bored, he would tease Nuannuan, and on nights, he would cultivate Phoenix Extreme and Niu Ji.

Phoenix Extreme and Niu Ji hadn't broken through yet, but Yang Fei felt Snake Extreme seemed to show signs of a breakthrough.

After cultivating the Nine Extremes for a long time, Yang Fei slowly began to understand that each extreme had four divine skills.

Just like Extreme Tiger's Tiger Pounce, Tiger Thorn, Tiger Roar, and Tiger Ghost, Turtle Extreme also has Turtle Hibernation, Tortoise Mirror, and Turtle Shield.

Turtle Extreme wasn't in Great Perfection, there was still one divine skill not successfully cultivated, the same was true for Elephant Extreme and Snake Extreme.

Snake Extreme's three divine skills, Snake Stupefaction, Scale Quake, and Snake Devouring, each divine skill was vicious and ruthless.

Just don't know what divine skill could be gained with this breakthrough?

On this day, Sha Jin's mercenaries received a report from scouts stating that fifty kilometers ahead in the desert area, there was a large-scale Heavenly Fire Mercenary Corps that had set up sentries.

They were investigating the bounty hunters and small mercenaries coming and going, their weapons were quite sophisticated.

Yang Fei and Nuannuan exchanged glances, both understanding in their hearts.

The Heavenly Fire Mercenaries setting up sentries here were likely targeting Yang Fei and Nuannuan.

Sha Jin heard the famed Heavenly Fire Mercenaries set up checkpoints here and was also uneasy.

Sha Jin's Mercenaries were only forty or fifty people, speaking of military strength and personnel, they were worlds apart from the Heavenly Fire Mercenaries.

If the Heavenly Fire Mercenaries wanted to trouble Sha Jin's Mercenaries, Sha Jin's mercenaries would have no power to resist.

Compared to Sha Jin's nervousness, Yang Fei and Nuannuan were much calmer.

The two had clashed with the Heavenly Fire Mercenaries, they knew the ins and outs of the Heavenly Fire Mercenaries.

Sha Jin dared not move forward anymore and had to camp thirty kilometers away from the Heavenly Fire Mercenaries, waiting for an opportunity.

Small mercenary groups had their way of survival, these small mercenary groups couldn't compete with large mercenary groups, so they banded together for warmth.

They united with other similar small mercenary groups, forming a somewhat powerful alliance force to demonstrate against large mercenary groups.

In this way, even a large armed gang of Heavenly Fire Mercenaries had to consider the implications.

As long as their actual interests weren't harmed, large mercenary groups would make some concessions.

Indeed, after waiting for a day, Sha Jin welcomed two more small mercenary groups, forming an alliance.

The three small mercenary groups, totaling over two hundred people, instantly gained strength.

In the following two days, the mercenaries and bounty hunters who wanted to pass the checkpoint joined in groups of three or four more, totaling over five hundred armed parties.

The alliance gathered up and proceeded towards the checkpoint set up by Heavenly Fire Mercenaries.

Yang Fei and Nuannuan watched the change without intervening in Sha Jin's affairs, and with a major enemy ahead, no one came to bother Yang Fei and Nuannuan.

The alliance mercenaries camped less than two kilometers away from the Heavenly Fire Mercenaries in the desolate desert, sent an envoy, providing gifts to Heavenly Fire Mercenaries, while requesting passage.

This approach could be called an open strategy, giving Heavenly Fire Mercenaries a great deal of respect while subtly hinting that they had a formidable force here, not easy to mess with.

Yang Fei heard the news and secretly chuckled.

These mercenary leaders weren't fools, the method was reasonable.

However, Yang Fei knew that if they came to search for Yang Fei and Nuannuan, the mercenary alliance method would probably be in vain.

Indeed, in the afternoon, Yang Fei and Nuannuan were idly chatting in front of the tent when suddenly, from far away, the yellow sand rolled, and an alliance squad came rushing in from afar.

Yang Fei glanced at Nuannuan and sighed.

"See, the result of a warm face sticking to a cold drum, is getting slapped back, tsk tsk, this face-slapping technique is simply exquisite."

Nuannuan recognized this group of soldiers as the ones who went to gift and negotiate with Heavenly Fire Mercenaries.

This group of soldiers was very embarrassed, every one of them had their left ear cut off, bleeding profusely, everyone injured.

Moreover, their firearms were also gone, evidently disarmed, which is an extreme humiliation for soldiers.

Looking at Yang Fei's face full of schadenfreude smile, Nuannuan spat angrily.

"Are you in the business of selling coffins professionally? Wishing people dead, truly despicable."

Yang Fei pretended to be modest: "Dare not dare not, just that they ignored my advice, brought disgrace upon themselves."

Nuannuan curiously asked Yang Fei: "You...have you met with the alliance leader?"

Yang Fei shook his head: "Of course I haven't met them."

"But I knew they wouldn't listen to me, so I didn't bother to say anything."

Nuannuan heard the meaning in Yang Fei's words: "Then what about now?"

Yang Fei chuckled cunningly.

"Now, perhaps I can try and make them listen to me."
