Half a month passed in the blink of an eye for Mo Fan, but for the group of great demons from Giant Spirit Mountain, it felt like years dragged by.
During this time, Niu Xiaosheng finally understood why Mo Fan had smiled so smugly before.
Labour reform? What a joke.
In reality, they were forced to work like oxen and horses!
Although they were all ox demons, none of them had ever touched ploughing fields in their entire lives. Yet here on Black Wind Mountain, they finally got their chance. This made the great demons so furious they cursed nonstop.
If their cultivation had not already been sealed by Mo Fan earlier, Black Wind Mountain would probably have been flattened to the ground by this herd of enraged ox demons by now.
Of course, such extreme thoughts could only stay in their heads. They did not even dare speak them out loud, or else they would face the lash of a certain white-clothed female demon!
The white-clothed one was still tolerable. After all, he was friends with Niu Xiaosheng and had hardly ever taken action.
The black-clothed girl, on the other hand, was the number one fan of the Toad Great King. She always obeyed Mo Fan’s orders without question. Therefore, when it came to those who tried to slack off or escape, she showed absolutely no mercy.
For this reason, she even specially borrowed the ancestral realm ghost weapon, the White Bone Whip, from Bai Li Qing’er. One lash and they would not even dare make a sound. The pain went straight to the soul!
As for what cultivation level the great demons had, or whether beating them might bring future revenge, the black-clothed one never cared about any of that.
She only remembered one thing: the Great King’s orders were absolute!
At first, the Giant Spirit Mountain demons cursed and grumbled at the black-clothed one’s ruthlessness, occasionally issuing warnings and threats. But gradually they noticed that the young master who had been the loudest complainer suddenly stopped crying and fussing. He even started speaking up for the black-clothed one.
With no choice, although the demons felt furious inside, they had to keep enduring again and again.
What else could they do when even their own young master had accepted it?
The white-clothed one felt quite helpless towards his sister who did not understand the ways of the demon world. So, to make up for the great demons’ wounded feelings, he finally decided to play some passionate and uplifting qin music while they worked, in order to soothe the injured hearts of the Giant Spirit Mountain great demons.

As a result, after listening to the qin music, the great demons felt even more like cursing their mothers. The reason was simple: the white-clothed one’s qin music could actually stir their mental state, making them work even harder…
The white-clothed one was also surprised by this outcome, but after thinking carefully, he realised it was probably related to his current condition.
He was now a ghost cultivator. Although he had not followed the orthodox ghost cultivation path, his power was still fundamentally the same as that of ghost cultivators. Therefore, the qin music he played naturally affected the spiritual level.
Although he understood the principle, the white-clothed one did not stop. Instead, he played with even more enthusiasm.
The main focus was spiritual companionship!
Did you not see how much more vigorously those great demons were working now?
The group of great demons from Giant Spirit Mountain suffered terribly, and even the four-man dung-carrying team from Black Wind Mountain suffered alongside them. They inwardly hated the black-and-white duo to death.
This dung-carrying four-man team consisted of three core formation stage elders from the Wang family of Three Saints Island, as well as the direct disciple of the Corpse Yin Sect—one of the evil cults of the Divine Domain—the Corpse Daoist!
The three Wang family elders need no further explanation. As the first batch of main dung carriers on Black Wind Mountain, years of endless苦难 had already worn away all their sharp edges. They were now like walking corpses.
At first they still held a sliver of hope, believing their family ancestor would send strong experts to rescue them. But they waited for years…
Now, they no longer expected anything. They only hoped the livestock they raised would produce a couple fewer piles of dung and urine each day, so they could carry a few fewer loads.
The Corpse Daoist, however, had been the most excited one. Half a year ago, a sudden descent of purple qi had caused his severed arm to regrow. This sparked some hope and longing for a brighter future in his heart.
But that hope did not last long before it was completely crushed along with the arrival of these ox demons…
Ever since this group of ox demons joined their team, the four-man dung-carrying team now not only had to carry dung every day, but also had to plough fields!
The increased workload left the four of them in tears.
It truly lived up to the old saying: going to bed later than a dog and waking up earlier than a chicken.
The Giant Spirit Mountain great demons were also very curious about the existence of the dung-carrying four-man team. As they gradually became familiar during the labour reform, they started chatting about each other’s pasts.
The four-man team assumed these seven ox demons had also offended that damned toad and were unlucky enough to be sent here to strengthen the team. So while they sighed, they also felt a sense of shared misery and began to share some of their inner thoughts.
The seven ox demons, however, were extremely cunning. With one glance they could tell these four were no ordinary people, so they deliberately played the victim just to gather information.
As a result, they listened in complete silence…
Three were core formation elders from a powerful human clan, and the other was a direct disciple of the Corpse Yin Sect!
Other little demons might not understand what a direct disciple meant.
But Niu Xiaosheng knew!
In the human world, that status was equivalent to his own!
While shocked, he could not help but sigh at Mo Fan’s power. He thought to himself that it was fortunate he had not taken out his demon weapon to fight that guy to the death. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether he might have ended up as a dish on Black Wind Mountain.
The dung-carrying four-man team answered truthfully. But when it was the seven ox demons’ turn, they immediately turned hostile and refused to reveal even a single word.
How could the four-man team tolerate that?
So the four-man team ended up being pinned to the ground and beaten by the seven ox demons.
In the end, the black-clothed one could not stand watching anymore. She directly summoned the White Bone Whip, which finally scared the great demons into stopping. Otherwise, those four human fellows, especially the Corpse Daoist, might have been beaten to death.
Half a month passed in a flash, and Mo Fan arrived on time with Bai Li Qing’er.
Looking at the exhausted great demons, Mo Fan could not help rubbing his nose. He sent a voice transmission to the white-clothed one: “During this time, you didn’t do anything too harsh to these guys, right?”
Hearing this, the white-clothed one subconsciously rubbed his nose too. After thinking for a moment, he finally nodded. “It was fine. Everything was very calm.”
When Mo Fan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I was really afraid your sister might have been too reckless and offended them badly. That would have caused real trouble later.”
The white-clothed one’s face twitched slightly at those words, but he said nothing.
However, Mo Fan soon noticed something was wrong. He realised that the great demons from Giant Spirit Mountain were staring at him with deep hatred.
“Ahem… Brother Niu, how was the half-month reform?”
Mo Fan spoke somewhat guiltily.
No matter what, he had to show some concern, right?
“Not bad. I think it would be good for you to experience it yourself. How about we swap identities and play for a few days?”
Niu Xiaosheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Mo Fan with ill intent.
“Brother Niu, that’s not fair. I did this for your own good!”
Mo Fan winked at Niu Xiaosheng, then spoke earnestly: “You are the young master of Giant Spirit Mountain, and you were the one who proposed the gambling terms. If you don’t fulfil your promise, it will cause huge damage to your own reputation and to the entire Giant Spirit Mountain’s prestige!”
“Even if you talk until the sky cracks open today, this young master will never swallow this anger!” Niu Xiaosheng roared in fury, cursing nonstop.
“Then this matter is really difficult to handle!”
Mo Fan immediately narrowed his eyes and said helplessly: “The fifteen days are over. This king already ordered my subordinates to prepare a grand feast. I came here right away intending to unseal everyone and then drink heartily and eat meat together. But suddenly I remembered that for the all-ox banquet, we seem to be missing just one thing: the whole ox!”
“It’s not easy to find oxen to catch at such short notice, right?”
“Brother Niu, don’t you think my little demons under me are really troublesome?”
The great demons of Giant Spirit Mountain: “…”
