Like humans? Could it be that these cows and horses are transformed from humans? An evil devil indeed!
Fang Ning was instantly frightened to the core.

Who said that he’s an evil devil?
Flustered, Sir added,
I only said that he’s an ugly fellow.


Based on your tone just now when you compared how ‘other devils’ are like and how ‘he’ is like, you clearly categorized him together with other devils, how can you blame me for misunderstanding you?
Fang Ning was discontented.
Let me look at the System Map. Eh, this fellow is actually a pure white devil!


Yes, he’s indeed a devil but he’s not an evil devil. He’s a devil who has committed no evil but has done loads of good deeds instead…
Sir defended.
Instantly, Fang Ning was extremely dispirited.
There are good devils too? How rare.


Look at you, attributes aren’t based on races, isn’t this very normal?
Sir felt that he was being stranger.
Why are you so uncertain?


Oh, I was misled by the traditional mindset. Usually, bad beings are called devils whereas good beings are addressed as saints or Buddha. It appears that that’s not the case.
Fang Ning admitted his mistake very quickly.
That was right, objectively speaking, devils were more on the chaotic side. Though they were particular in doing things as they pleased, there were still quite a number of them who had kind qualities in them…

Of course that’s not it, those fellows that followed Devil Lord Zhi Nan haven’t committed any evil. Or else, why would I have let them go previously?
Sir System responded confidently.

I understand. Looks like this is the fourth pure white character we’ve met. The first three are Spirit King Bodhisattva, Qiao Zishan, and Cang Gongzi. One is a Buddha, one is a human, and one is a demon. As for this ugly man, he’s a devil, this is just, just…
Fang Ning racked his brain for a long time as he could not find the right word to describe this coincidental event.

Just what?
Sir was curious.

Just right for a game of mahjong!
Fang Ning blurted out.
I believe they’ll have a clean, civilized game, and there’ll be no cases of cheating or not owning up to losses.


This is a great suggestion, it can be considered.
Sir somehow felt enthusiastic.
These four fellows belong to the purely righteous side, they’re natural allies, we can consider grouping them together to strengthen the connection between them.


Speaking of which, I wonder how the other three fellows are doing lately?
Fang Ning missed them.

All of them are working harder than you. The little hamster works day and night to supervise the reconstruction of Morality City. Bodhisattva hasn’t slept in a long while, he’s busy with the reconstruction of Spiritual Insect Realm. Qiao Zishan cultivates all the time at the Land of Heritage.
Sir System took the opportunity to pressure Fang Ning.

Oh, they’re all so busy, I can play without worries then.
Fang Ning said gladly after hearing that.

What logic is this? Shouldn’t you feel shameful and work energetically from now on?
Sir was in distress.

I shouldn’t. If I become diligent, what’s the value and purpose of your existence?
Fang Ning uttered firmly.

Uh…
Sir was at a loss for words.
A brief moment later, Sir shifted the topic.
I’ll go look at the ugly man, perhaps he’ll be useful to us.

…
Nan Feng was a devil descended from the upper realm, he had a rather reputable title in the upper realm –
Devil Vigilante
.
Not long after descending to this realm, weird cows and horses gathered around him continuously. No matter how he tried, he could not make them go away, which made him extremely confused.
Nonetheless, he was a soft-hearted devil which was infrequent among all devils, such that he never killed fowls…
Even so, it did not mean that he was a vegetarian. On a contrary, he certainly did not lag behind in terms of eating roasted beef and roasted lambs.
Since he could not bear to kill them, he could only bring them along with him.
Fortunately, cows and horses feed on grasses… They were easy to be taken care of, so he would not go broke because of them.
Among the horses, there was a white horse which looked exceptionally beautiful, hence he used it as a mount.
What made him even gladder was that these cows and horses seemed to have gained sapience, they understood human language. Although they could not speak, at least it was more convenient for him to manage everything.
Not only did they not cause any trouble, they even helped him work as they assisted farmers in farming tasks. After all, not all places were suitable for machinery, stepped fields were one of them.
His income was not high but it was sufficient for him to sustain himself, thus there was no need for him to waste time in finding other means of making money.
Two days ago, he received news that a devil sword had been born. He thought to himself, ‘Isn’t this meant for me?’
Right after that, he came all the way here excitedly.
He was worried to leave his cows and horses under another person’s care because they only had sapience but not magical powers. Should they be brought to the butchery, he would suffer for a long time.
Therefore, he could only bring them along, going around in circles. Guided by what was told in the news, he came to a cave and entered it, then after opening a bronze gate, he arrived here.
As soon as he entered, he appeared in this square. This was not odd to him at all as he had experienced teleportation many times when he went on adventures in the upper realm.
There were six entrances around the square, which looked like they led to different directions.
Could it be that the devil sword was located in one of those entrances?
He could only sense hints of danger from those six entrances, which made him hesitate.
Of course, it would not matter if he was alone, but now that he was accompanied by over ten cows and horses, it was a trouble to him.
Needless to say, a small trap would be enough to kill them, they were too weak if they were to face the unknown dangers.
‘Should I back off instead?’ He wondered. Later on, he felt a fire burn in his heart. ‘No way, I’ve always been laughed at back then, this is a rare opportunity for me to start over again. Now that I’ve successfully descended on Earth and I’ve not faced any issues, I must not cower.’
Just as he was having those thoughts, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
The moment he looked up at the person, he was appalled.

You’re Vigilante A? Are you here for the devil sword too? You’re trying to suppress it? You can’t, that sword is destined to be mine, don’t you think about using your nasty theories to seal it!
Nan Feng declared righteously.

Does this fellow have a delusion of persecution? He’s so long-winded, we haven’t even said anything…
Fang Ning felt gloomy.

Let him be, I’ll ask him a few questions first to see if he can be nurtured into my follower.
Unpleased, Sir expressed.

As expected, you won’t let go of this fellow since he’s a character with morality.
Fang Ning came to a sudden realization. He understood why Sir was so interested in this devil because this was why it was formerly interested in the white hamster.
Owing to that, it even leveled up and increased its follower quota, which allowed it to approach the hundred level restriction.
Vigilante A replied faintly,
Why did you bring these innocent female cows and horses here? You should know that devils from all over the world are gathered here, all of them are truly cruel, their vicious measures are unheard of.


Hmph, I’m a devil myself, how can I not know of their tricks…
In the beginning, Nan Feng was quite confident when he spoke, eventually, he asked dubiously,
How did you know that they’re females? I never noticed.

When he glanced at those cows and horses, he found that they were all looking at Vigilante A with glimmering eyes.
‘Damn, they might really be little female cows and horses, their eyes are shining from looking at a handsome man…’ He was extremely displeased.

Hehe, I don’t need to explain to you about the prestige of my Divine Eyes. I see you’re quite a promising man, a part of the responsibility of saving the world will be yours soon, are you willing to bear it?
Vigilante A questioned.

Saving the world?
Nan Feng looked as if he had fallen into memories from far away, his eyes seemed lost.
I did save quite a number of people, unfortunately, in the end, I couldn’t save myself.


There’s nothing wrong with you, why do you say that you couldn’t save yourself?
Vigilante A was bewildered.

Look at me riding a white horse, don’t you think I’m lacking something?
Nan Feng replied snappily.

I don’t think so, instead, I think you brought too many things with you.
Vigilante A shook his head.

Nonsense, I’m lacking a heroine!
A face of regret was shown on Nan Feng’s ugly face.
Those days when I was in the upper realm, I’ve saved many human maidens. They were all shy and pretty, they even claimed that they’re willing to toil like cows and work like horses in their next lives to repay my kindness, but none of them left with me…


Uh, I get it, no wonder these cows and horses have eyes like a human’s.
Vigilante A nodded.
