“If you take my divine flower, you will have to serve the Cloud Alliance and me from now on. If you cannot accept this requirement, you may leave.”

Upon hearing this, the charred corpses looked at each other in bewilderment.

After hesitating for a long time, not a single charred corpse stepped forward.

Although they initially came for gunpowder, once they arrived, Yun Jian provided them with an ample supply of gunpowder and kept his promise to take them out of the jungle.

They also knew very well that if they followed Yun Jianhun, she would not mistreat them.

DouDou was the first to stand up, "I won't leave, I'll stay with you."

With the first one taking the lead, the other charred corpses followed suit.

Yun Jian nodded, scanned all the charred corpses, then opened his backpack and listed all the divine flowers. "If any of you want a divine flower right now, you can tell me which one you've got your eye on."

Surprise appeared on the faces of the charred corpses.

After a few quiet chattering discussions, DouDou was the first to step forward.

"I want the blue one; it looks extraordinary."

Another charred corpse said, "I'll take the red one. I heard what that horned horse said earlier. If your own conditions aren't good enough, but you eat a high-level divine flower, you'll suffer a backlash. I don't think my aptitude is very good, so I'll choose an ordinary one."

Several charred corpses also stepped forward and chose their favorite divine flower.

To Yun's delight, they didn't just pick the best ones.

After waiting a while longer, and seeing that no other charred corpses wanted the divine flower, she put it back in. "Except for White Nose and Bean, the other corpses should follow Liang Song. They need your protection."

The charred corpses immediately erupted into a noisy uproar.

Yun Jian noticed that some of them looked visibly uneasy, so she reassured them, "Don't worry, I'll have Liang Song give you your divine flowers. If you need anything, I'll also have you come over to help me."

She and Liang Song had a master-servant agreement, so they could share the backpack.

As she spoke, she copied a bunch of small stones and handed them to Liang Song. "If you think the charred corpses are too conspicuous, you can let them go inside first. By the way, take these gunpowder. Bai Bi and Dou Dou probably won't need much. You can divide the gunpowder according to the situation."

Liang Song stared at Yun Jian for a long while before nodding.

Although it was called a separation, I actually made quite a few plans for him.

Fearing they wouldn't be able to fight off other forces, they assigned the charred corpse to him. But then, fearing he wouldn't be able to control it, they first used a divine flower to bind the charred corpse, then gave him gunpowder to win over its heart...

Seeing that his eyes were already glistening with tears, Yun patted Liang Song's shoulder and said, "Alright, we'll head out now! We've already discussed the campsite location. Whichever one you choose, remember to send me the location once you've settled in!"

"You'll soon be the leader of a power group. If others see you crying, they might not respect you!"

Yun Jian turned around and waved to Liang Song as she walked forward.

After saying goodbye to the others, Bai Yu and his companions quickly caught up.

DouDou happily stuffed the flower into her backpack and skipped after her.

White Nose gave him a disdainful look. "You're still the same as before, so stop jumping around like a zombie."

DouDou glared at him. "You've only been out of your charred corpse form for a short time, and you're already starting to look down on me? Once the boss finds a place to rest, I'll swallow the divine flower and become even more handsome than you!"

White Nose scoffed, "Definitely not as handsome as me! You changed your tune pretty quickly, calling me 'boss' now?"

DouDou turned her face away and gave a soft hum.

White Nose thought for a moment, then muttered under his breath, "I don't want to call you the same way you do, I want to call you 'Boss'!"

He doesn't care, he just wants to be different!

As Bai Yu walked, he realized that the scenery seemed somewhat familiar. He looked around and thought, "Isn't this... Baba Ranch's territory?"

Yun Jian nodded: "That's right, we're going to Baba Ranch."

"Why? Didn't we say to stay away?"

Yun Jian stopped and pointed to a white dot not far away.

“If we don’t have a villa, we still need to find something to shelter us from the wind and rain, right? I think a yurt would be a good option.”

There are only a few of them, so buying a large villa would be too wasteful. Besides, a villa would be too conspicuous and wouldn't suit their need to hide their whereabouts. Yurts, on the other hand, are the most common type of building on this grassland and are less likely to arouse suspicion.

Moreover, a yurt is essentially a large tent, making it very easy to move.

Seeing that things were about to get interesting, Bai Yu quickly rolled up his sleeves, full of enthusiasm, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"

Yun Jian stared at the group of yurts not far away, his brows furrowed slightly. "I feel like it's a bit noisy over there. There might be something going on. I need to think of a way to gather some intelligence first."

Such a major event at Baba Ranch is likely to attract the attention of other forces, inevitably leading to some conflict.

She took out her camouflage suit and disappeared from their sight.

Seeing this, Baibi subtly flipped his wrist, and a green thread, hidden in the night, swiftly swam towards the yurt.

When Yun Jian approached, a fierce fight was taking place over there.

The hostages and the man were protected behind them, while the person opposite them was someone Yun Jian had never seen before.

The two sides are currently at a stalemate.

Hostage: "Zhu Jinbao! When your Dada Ranch was first established, we helped you. Now that our Baba Ranch is in trouble, you're kicking us when we're down. Isn't that a bit too ungrateful?"

Zhu Jinbao: "Anyway, the decline of your Baba Ranch is a foregone conclusion. Soon other forces will come to divide up your reserves. Our two ranches have such a good relationship. It's better to benefit us than others. In the future, when you come to visit my Dada Ranch, I will treat you as an honored guest!"

Hostage: "That sounds nice, but I didn't expect you to lend me a hand. As long as you take your people and leave now, the friendship between our two ranches will remain!"

Zhu Jinbao laughed, "Since we're already here, I can't let my brothers come all this way for nothing..."

The two sides talked back and forth, never stopping.

However, this gave Yun Jian an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Both sides were so engrossed in arguing that no one noticed the yurts surrounding them disappearing one by one...

After counting the number and finding enough for each of them, Yun pulled out two more, just in case.

She's already sorted things out on this side, but the argument on the other side isn't over yet.

It wasn't good that the fight never broke out, so Yun Jian decided to kindly lend them a hand.

As the two groups were arguing, they suddenly heard a crackling sound. Turning around, they saw that the firelight in the distance illuminated half the sky.

The hostage turned around, his eyes bloodshot with rage: "Zhu Jinbao! You're something else! You can't win an argument with me, so you resort to underhanded tactics, can you?"

Zhu Jinbao was also angry: "It wasn't me! I, Zhu Jinbao, do things with integrity. If I did it, I will admit it, but this fire was absolutely not started by me!"

"You're talking nonsense! This place is full of my people and your people. Would we burn down our own camp?"
