Chapter 1307 - 1303:
A hint of delight just appeared in Yun Ran’s eyes, and she planned to keep up the effort.
With a loud ’bang’, followed immediately by two very familiar sounds.
"Ouch!"
"My butt!"
The dust flew up, causing Yun Ran to swallow back the words that were just about to leave her mouth.
The temperature inside the cave was almost like a freezer, but this had no impact on Er Dan, a life form covered in feathers.
It was pitch black inside, and the little moonlight present did almost nothing to dispel the darkness.
And because it exerted too much force earlier, its butt was heavily slammed on the ground.
Once the complaining starts, it’s hard to stop.
Frustrated, Er Dan looked at Ginsengfruit: "You’re the one who was directing blindly, look where you’ve landed me!"
While grumbling, Er Dan tried its best to shield Ginsengfruit with its wings.
For fear that another sudden attack might come, and if Ginsengfruit really got wasted, that fierce woman Yun Ran would surely pluck its feathers.
Er Dan didn’t realize that they had arrived, but Ginsengfruit knew.
Quickly, he reached out, pulling away Er Dan’s wing: "We’re already here, and stop blocking my view!"
Er Dan: ...
Why does it suddenly feel like being backstabbed?
Er Dan finally and belatedly sensed Yun Ran’s intense presence.
This indicated that Yun Ran, the fierce woman, was nearby at this moment.
Er Dan’s neck mechanically turned, and sure enough, under the faint moonlight, Yun Ran was looking at them speechlessly.
Ginsengfruit didn’t know what was going on inside Er Dan’s mind at this moment, but upon seeing Yun Ran, he was immediately moved to tears.
"Wuwuwu, Host, I finally found you~"
Seeing Ginsengfruit about to rush over, Yun Ran immediately stretched out her hand: "Stop!"
She didn’t expect that when she only asked Ginsengfruit to come, it would bring a tagalong.
Luckily, she was only trying to understand those patterns, or else, the noise from these two would have surely driven her mad!
Ginsengfruit’s stride paused under Yun Ran’s clear rejection, and he stood still.
Especially upon seeing the speechless expression on Yun Ran’s face, he suddenly felt hesitant and embarrassed.
But for assigning blame, it’s best to do it sooner rather than later.
Ginsengfruit quickly pushed Er Dan forward: "Host, let me explain, I originally came alone, but Er Dan insisted on barging in, and that’s how all this noise happened!"
Saying this, Ginsengfruit took out a special air purifier and swiftly cleared away the dust that was flying around.
Ginsengfruit’s smooth move left Er Dan dumbfounded.
Although...but you still can’t pin all the blame on it.
To blame, you can only blame Ginsengfruit for not trying hard enough; otherwise, why couldn’t that passage fit only it?
Er Dan was reckless by nature, but when bad luck truly seemed to befall it, its reactions were quick, and it stopped referring to itself as ’baby’.
With a ’gah’, Sha Yazi rushed directly to Yun Ran’s side, urgently pleading for leniency.
"Auntie, it’s all because I was too worried about you so I thought having one more of me around would help take care of things, I really didn’t expect to make you unhappy~"
Yun Ran: ...
She hadn’t even said a word, and these two had already sparred in a round of banter.
What Yun Ran didn’t expect most was Er Dan being so cunning in speech.
Goosebumps immediately appeared on her arm.
"Alright, both of you step aside and don’t disturb me!"
Yun Ran didn’t want to waste time dealing with these two’s mutual blame; she wasn’t a wise judge presiding over a court!
The disdain in her words was evident, but Ginsengfruit and Er Dan both breathed a sigh of relief.
This meant they were off the hook.
But as their gazes met again, another round of confrontation began, only to fade quickly, refusing to look at each other for another second.
Looking at the moonlight pouring down, Er Dan tilted its head, its eyes darting around, seemingly curious.
After all, it was not human, even with spiritual wisdom, the concept of hiding talents had nothing to do with Er Dan.
It turned to Yun Ran: "Is here the secret spot of Moonlight City?"
Yun Ran was about to proceed with the next step, but upon hearing Er Dan’s query, she suddenly looked over: "What did you say?"
Perhaps Yun Ran’s gaze was too intense, as it scared Er Dan into retreating several steps, evidently showing true fear of Yun Ran permeating deep within.
"I... I was just..."
Er Dan didn’t know what it said wrong earlier, and at this moment, its mind was frantically racing, trying to find an excuse.
All its fault for not remembering, Yun Ran had said to not speak unless absolutely necessary before its form could shift, lest it bring trouble upon itself.
Yun Ran knew what Er Dan was thinking, especially seeing Er Dan’s guilty look.
"Speak the truth!"
Er Dan sincerely wanted to cry; whenever Yun Ran wore this expression, it was as if there was a knife hanging over its head.
But it dared not lie in front of Yun Ran.
Afterwards, it could only answer obediently, wishing its head could hide under its wings.
Even its voice softened significantly, fearing that one carelessness might upset Yun Ran; she would really kick it flying.
"Well, the Moonlight Power makes me feel familiar—it’s the unique aura of Moonlight City..."
In the past, Er Dan could be said to have explored every inch of Moonlight City thoroughly, even knowing where each building had a basement.
Yet, it had never noticed this place before, but the aura of Moonlight Power was unmistakably unique.
It couldn’t hold its tongue and directly asked out of pure curiosity.
This answer was something Yun Ran hadn’t anticipated, though it only made her slightly surprised.
She had still been thinking that once she returned, she would send someone to find this place, never expecting it was actually Moonlight City’s original site.
Her mind instantly recalled the legends about Moonlight City’s origin.
Details about the Heavenly Book, and information on Moonlight City’s first City Lord.
Moreover, the partial lineage within her body regarding Moonlight City, upon arriving here, subtly revitalized and repaired itself.
Additionally, Chi Yao had said that the Heavenly Book Fragment was supposed to be acquired by the Murong Family...
Wow, she had unintentionally filled the Murong Family’s pit!
