“Staying up late, losing hair?”

Jia Yulan drew in a deep breath, grabbed her lush hair with both hands, and said with a face full of terror, “No way!”

Xia He and Qiu Ju were so scared they fell asleep right where they were.

Li Jiaojiao blinked innocently, then using Little White Fox as a pillow, she too fell asleep.

Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Yu, and Long Tianxing, being slightly younger, couldn’t stay awake and soon fell asleep as well.

In the end, only Mo Ying and the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle were left, staring at each other as though they had an agreement that “if the moon doesn’t sleep, I won’t sleep, whoever sleeps is a turtle.”

Under the night sky, the moonlight was like water.

A white cloud drifted across the azure sky.

A white shadow popped its head out from among the clouds, surveying the mountain range below.

Suddenly, the mysterious figure noticed the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle standing on the peak of Misty Peak, then saw Brother Flathead sleeping on the grass in front of the gate, and upon noticing Mo Ying and the other human cultivators, its eyes filled with astonishment.

As for Little White Fox, it couldn’t be seen because Li Jiaojiao was using it as a pillow.

Moments later, the white shadow headed off into the distance, and before long, it shrank its body and came to a halt before a cold-looking young man with wolf ears.

This person was the Netherworld Wolf in mid-transformation.

“Reporting to the Little Wolf General, I have discovered a sect on a mountain peak that has tamed the troublesome creature from the eastern city swamp,” the white shadow reported what it had seen and heard.

It had no physical form, resembling a white mist in the shape of a flying bird.

Upon hearing this, Little Wolf General narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Although I don’t know why that troublesome creature was tamed, we can perhaps start with this sect.”

As he spoke, Little Wolf General looked at the mist in the shape of a bird and said, “Shape-shifting Beast, you are most suited for disguise. You will be responsible for approaching the mountain and turn the warriors of our race who are there, understand?”

The Shape-shifting Beast blinked and asked, “Little Wolf General, what about you?”

“My demon aura is too strong, and I am in the Transformation Stage, which I cannot conceal well enough to approach Whitefloat City closely.” With that, Little Wolf General vanished into the jungle.

“But… I’m scared!” the Shape-shifting Beast wanted to say something more, but its voice faded away.

Seeing that Little Wolf General had disappeared without a trace, it realized it had no choice but to carry out this dreadful plot of subversion.

“I want to be human, change, change, change!”

The Shape-shifting Beast chanted an odd chant, its form shifted constantly, and it indeed turned into a human form. Moreover, it pulled out a cloak from nowhere, perfectly covering its body and concealing its demon aura without a trace.

At first glance, there was no apparent difference between it and a human.

In the latter part of the night.

The Shape-shifting Beast stealthily climbed up Misty Peak, only to find Mo Ying practicing her sword in the wee hours, her figure now here, now there, like a specter, quite terrifying.

“Oh my! This person is a bit ruthless, it’s not the right time to approach.” The Shape-shifting Beast immediately started chanting, “I want to be an ant, change, change, change!”

Having said that, it rapidly shrunk its form and turned into a large white ant, lurking on the edge of the cliff.

…

The next morning.

Ye Feng got up early and went to the edge of the cliff to practice a set of martial arts, to limber up his limbs.

He accidentally kicked a stone out, which happened to hit the Shape-shifting Beast that was lurking on the edge of the cliff.

“Have I been discovered?”

“Could it be that this person who seems to lack cultivation actually possesses an extremely sensitive perception and is a master?”

“No, this can’t be possible!”

The Shape-shifting Beast was so frightened that it was trembling all over.

However, the thought of facing severe punishment from the Little Wolf General if it failed to complete its mission left it no choice but to continue climbing back to the summit of Misty Peak.

Before long, Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, Master Li, and their party finally arrived from Whitefloat City, followed by more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages loaded with a large amount of processed materials.

As long as they were moved to Misty Peak, they could be assembled on-site, which was convenient and time-saving.

“Let’s go, help with the work.”

Ye Feng, along with the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle and others, made several trips back and forth and finally moved all the materials to the top of the peak, placing them on the open ground.

“True cultivators indeed; they move things so quickly. If it was left to us, it might have taken all day,” Master Li remarked.

The others looked at the mighty Iron Claw Dragon Eagle with envy on their faces.

The Shape-shifting Beast, hiding in a tree, watched this scene and said bitterly, “Damn it, the noble Iron Claw Dragon Eagle is actually doing hard labor, the Demon Race shouldn’t be slaves!”

At that moment, Master Li pointed to the other four craftsmen and then to the ten new helpers, and said to Ye Feng, “Sect Master Ye, these are all temporary workers. With their help, we should be able to lay the foundations today.”

“If there’s anything that needs help, our sect’s disciples will also give their full support,” Ye Feng said.

“How could we dare to trouble your sect’s disciples to make a move…”

“It’s alright, this is also a form of cultivation!”

Ye Feng gestured, immediately having the sect’s disciples help without anyone being lazy.

Everyone first moved everything out of the thatched cottages except for the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, and as Mo Ying struck with a sword, the cottages all collapsed. The Iron Claw Dragon Eagle directly grabbed and cleared the debris to the open ground.

Then, Master Li led the helpers to build according to the plan, and with the assistance of Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, and other disciples, they laid the foundation in just half a day.

“Right, the lower half of these main pillars has to be buried underground, and to prevent rotting, we must scorch the surface with fire,” Master Li said.

“You’re talking about charring; I know about it.”

Ye Feng waved his hand, letting Shi Lei cast the Fire Cloud Palm, swiftly brushing over the surface of the main pillars, instantaneously carbonizing the outer layer.

Master Li and the other craftsmen saw this and all gave a thumbs up: “So, spells can be used in this way.”

They all began to entertain the idea of cultivating fire-based spells.

Thus, with the joint efforts of dozens of people, by that evening, they had erected a row of buildings on the peak forming an ‘inverted’ shape when viewed from above, totaling fifteen rooms.

“We’ve finished a week’s worth of work in just one day!”

Master Li stood in the backyard, astonished. This was the fastest construction he had ever seen in his life.

“Tomorrow we’ll renovate the Sect Leader’s Great Hall and relay the floor tiles, build a fence, and that should about do it,” Ye Feng said, standing on the roof.

At this time, the Shape-shifting Beast had transformed into a cicada, lying on the treetop, morosely thinking to itself, “What should I do, there’s no chance to get close to the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle and that troublesome guy!”

With no other options, it could only continue to wait.

The next day, Ye Feng and the others got up early and continued to help with the renovations.

They renovated the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, relayed the floor tiles, built a one-meter-high wooden railing around the edge of the cliff on the peak, and planted various flowers and herbs.

In just three days, Misty Sect had been completely transformed.

“We finally have our own rooms!”

Li Jiaojiao, holding the Little White Fox, ran into a room that was three meters wide and five meters long. It was not large, but it looked brand new and clean, which brightened up her eyes.

The other disciples also found their own rooms, with a gleam of light in their eyes.
