Chapter 1310 - 1306: The Trouble with Erdan
On the way back, Er Dan couldn’t stop complaining.
While walking, the sound suddenly came to a halt, and he even cautiously pulled on Ginsengfruit.
Ginsengfruit was somewhat puzzled. In his impression, Er Dan could be described as super bold.
Even if caught red-handed, Er Dan would still hold his head high with the arrogant demeanor of "I’m not wrong."
The current look definitely means he’s done something particularly mischievous, and it’s not a small matter either.
"Um... I want to ask, if—I’m just saying if—I accidentally killed those ugly things on the top of the corridor, would Yun Ran, that ferocious woman..."
Speaking of this, Er Dan genuinely felt wronged. Since hatching, he had been brought to Moonlight City.
You could say he was born into a life of wealth and luxury, having never encountered anything so ugly and disgusting.
Er Dan had an immediate defensive reaction, accidentally using too much force and killed those things.
Originally, this wasn’t a big deal, after all. He truly didn’t feel there was anything to feel guilty about for accidentally killing those things.
Just a moment ago, he hadn’t even considered mentioning this like it was a big deal.
It wasn’t until now, as he was about to see Yun Ran again, that he suddenly remembered Yun Ran had previously warned him seriously not to commit murder easily.
Previously in Moonlight City, he caused all kinds of trouble, yet always respected the boundary, not daring to cause loss of life.
Just knowing, that this is the line that must not be crossed.
Before Er Dan could finish speaking, Ginsengfruit smacked him hard.
"Who gave you the courage to gossip about my master like this behind her back!!!"
As for killing those potential threats, Ginsengfruit actually wasn’t that concerned.
What mattered was Er Dan daring to call Yun Ran a ferocious woman, even if many people believed it to be true, saying it in front of him was definitely asking for trouble.
Er Dan: ...
Why does he feel like he’s missing the point with Ginsengfruit?
Still feeling dazed from the smack by Ginsengfruit, Er Dan couldn’t afford to be indignant.
"I think it’s best if I don’t go back with you yet. Yun Ran told me to inspect this cave thoroughly, and I’ve only seen less than a tenth so far."
Er Dan wasn’t sure if Yun Ran would turn on him, but he knew if she did, he’d be in trouble.
So given the situation, it’s better to hide elsewhere first, and return after Yun Ran’s temper dies down.
After saying this, Er Dan turned and ran, afraid that if he slowed down, Ginsengfruit would catch him.
Ginsengfruit almost laughed from frustration at Er Dan’s antics. He didn’t realize Er Dan knew he should hide after causing trouble?
This was blatantly bullying the weak while fearing the strong. Seems like he can’t pamper this guy in the future!
Knowing that Er Dan wouldn’t encounter danger even if running chaotically inside the cave, Ginsengfruit didn’t bother with him.
When he returned to Yun Ran’s side, he saw her immersed in comprehending the patterns on the Heavenly Book Fragment.
Ginsengfruit didn’t want to interrupt, so he found another flat spot, took out the glass bottle filled with the dark green liquid, and continued doing data analysis.
Once Er Dan was out of Ginsengfruit’s sight, he couldn’t help but pat his chest.
"Whew~ that scared me to death. Good thing I ran fast, otherwise, if Yun Ran knew, I’d definitely face severe consequences."
It’s partly because Er Dan hardly had a chance to speak in Moonlight City before, but his mental activity was always rich.
He had long gotten used to giving Yun Ran nicknames in his mind, which led to him inadvertently speaking his mind easily.
Er Dan stretched out his wings, made a helpless gesture just as humans do when patting their foreheads, and silently warned himself.
"I need to be more careful in the future, never speak incorrectly again!"
Completely unaware, he continued walking upwards within the cave.
As he walked, a familiar yet faint aura drifted over.
Just warning himself to be careful in speech, Er Dan’s eyes suddenly brightened, quickening his pace towards the direction of the aura.
Mo Zhi didn’t know she was about to fall into trouble again, as she unintentionally released a trace of ghost energy, which attracted Er Dan.
Holding the small wooden carving that had a few cracks, her heart was filled with lingering fear.
Her expression turned exceptionally tense; this was the first time she encountered such a tricky situation after following Yun Ran for a long time.
Though this place looked clean with no evil spirits causing trouble, there seemed to be some special energy here naturally suppressing her.
With her usual cautious nature, she would definitely avoid getting too close to such an eerie place.
However, thinking about Yun Ran alone inside, should someone intrude, she didn’t dare imagine the consequences.
With this thought, timid Mo Zhi could only force herself to keep guarding, facing dangerous temptations time after time.
A crisp ’crack’ sound echoed.
Although the sound wasn’t loud, it immediately made Mo Zhi’s heart jump into her throat.
The small wooden carving she held suddenly burst open in the middle without any warning.
What once seemed somewhat spirited instantly turned into just ordinary wood.
Just then, a mysterious wind lightly passed through her body from behind.
A look of terror flashed in Mo Zhi’s eyes, and a strong feeling surged—she seemed to be in big trouble.
At the moment the wind pierced through her, her body reacted like a huge balloon punctured.
The ghost energy she had been suppressing could no longer be contained and erupted forth.
If someone were there at this moment, they would see Mo Zhi’s body gradually fading, her ghost energy being rapidly encircled by an unknown wind.
Er Dan arrived right when Mo Zhi’s ghost energy fully exploded, thinking he had discovered somewhere interesting.
It wasn’t until Mo Zhi’s ghost energy erupted that he realized it was someone familiar.
Seeing Mo Zhi besieged by a whirl of wind, he stood watching, thinking it was some new game.
He couldn’t help but complain about Yun Ran’s double standards: "Humph, this little ghost can do whatever she wants, but with me, Yun Ran is so harsh!"
