Yun Ran glanced at Er Dan and suddenly felt like she was quite unfortunate.

She took a deep breath and finally could only turn her head to look at the Little Paperman: "Pack up the things, we’re leaving!"

The Little Paperman efficiently packed everything up and then pulled Er Dan’s head out.

"Let’s go!"

Er Dan watched as Yun Ran started to walk away, and quickly chased after her. Don’t be fooled by his young appearance; when he runs, his speed is astonishing.

In just a few breaths, Er Dan caught up with Yun Ran.

[Where are we going now?]

Perhaps because she was used to Er Dan being a quiet egg before, this sudden chatter made Yun Ran a bit unaccustomed.

"There’s a high master nearby. If you don’t want to get caught and eaten, just keep quiet and stop with the nonsense!"

Although Er Dan was young, he wasn’t truly dumb and could tell Yun Ran was annoyed with him.

He could only huff indignantly.

The group quickly walked out of the mountain forest, and from afar, Yun Ran saw the so-called Main Altar.

Compared to her Qingfeng Temple, this place was like an Immortal Mansion.

How great must one’s power be to establish such an Immortal Mansion, truly a sign of immense wealth.

The Little Paperman didn’t promptly go to gather information as before without Yun Ran’s orders.

Last night, as soon as he appeared, the Spirit Locking Array was triggered. If the master hadn’t quickly severed the connection, they definitely would have been discovered.

Er Dan didn’t understand why Yun Ran stopped again, but he didn’t intend to ask.

Spotting the fresh grass by the roadside, he quickly lowered his head and started grazing.

The occasional sounds of munching made Yun Ran feel like she was in a comedy.

Now, Yun Ran didn’t need to speak; the Little Paperman flew over and landed a big smack on Er Dan’s head.

"Eating, eating, all you know is eating!!!"

But such hits to Er Dan were like getting an itch scratched.

He lifted his head, still chewing, but his eyes looked blankly at the Little Paperman.

Clearly asking what he did wrong again, why was he hit again?

But at this moment, neither Yun Ran nor the Little Paperman bothered with Er Dan because someone was approaching.

The person moved quickly to appear in front of Yun Ran, with a clear hint of superiority in his gaze.

"Who are you? This is not a place for you to come. And this... bird, do you know that in Moonlight City, no pets are allowed?"

The man didn’t suspect Er Dan’s identity was problematic. Anything brought here, plant or animal, would be affected by arrays.

Moreover, seeing the traces of grass by Er Dan’s mouth, he looked so foolish there was no reason for suspicion.

Yun Ran took out a wooden sign from her body, snatched earlier from a Xuan Master near Lotus City.

"I’m also a Dark Master, sent by my master for training. This ostrich isn’t a pet, it’s my mount."

As she spoke, Yun Ran hopped onto Er Dan’s back.

Fortunately, Er Dan was a bit dumb, but he had some rapport with Yun Ran.

He took the hit obediently, and now being ridden didn’t bother him either.

The man looked at the identity card in Yun Ran’s hand, confirming it was from the Xuan Master Association given to its disciples.

"And you’re all alone?"

They say identity on a journey is self-assigned, and acting can change on a whim.

Blinking her eyes, Yun Ran’s eye rims reddened suddenly.

"I was initially with my senior brothers, but... some trouble happened, and we got separated..."

Perhaps Yun Ran’s face still held a trace of youthful innocence, making her pitiful appearance rather deceptive.

The man sized Yun Ran up and his eyes flickered.

Eventually, he said: "Fine, but inside Moonlight City, no fighting is allowed."

Yun Ran nodded.

Her two legs gently squeezed a bit, and Er Dan instantly understood it meant ’move forward’.

With steady strides, they headed towards that place which looked like an Immortal Mansion.

And the man who came to check Yun Ran’s identity remained standing, his gaze fixed on Yun Ran’s back.

The Little Paperman was attached inside Yun Ran’s clothes.

Lowering his voice, he whispered to Yun Ran: "Master, that person had a trace of malice towards you, yet didn’t act directly but still let you in. What does he intend?"

With a mount, Yun Ran didn’t need to walk, and comfortably closed her eyes enjoying the ride, listening to the Little Paperman’s query.

The tone was indifferent: "What else could it be, it’s just a trap or deceit.

Acting outside, he would surely chase me away, but it would be a loss.

Once I’m inside Moonlight City, for him, it’d be luring me into a trap.

Then they could handle me however they pleased."

Being slaughtered like a fat sheep was something Yun Ran experienced at a young age.

Initially, there were Qingfeng Temple elders backing her.

Later, when she could handle things herself, she started protecting the junior ones.

Though young, Yun Ran was quite experienced.

Anyone trying to treat her as a fat sheep would end up being slaughtered instead; she called it ’black eats black’.

The Little Paperman understood from this, knowing they wouldn’t be the ones ending up unlucky.

Outside Moonlight City looked like an Immortal Mansion, but inside it was bustling beyond compare.

It was very different from the towns they’d seen before.

Had it not been known that this was a world formed from space seams,

Yun Ran would almost suspect she had arrived at a newly built tourism ancient town.

Yun Ran sat in a corner of a noodle shop; this time, she didn’t apply an Ignore Talisman—not because she didn’t have one, but it wasn’t necessary.

In Moonlight City, most people walking around are Dark Masters from various places.

Even many shopkeepers and workers have Dark Masters among them.

In such a place, hiding would rather attract unwanted attention. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The noodle taste was quite ordinary. Indeed, just like an ancient town, the service here was akin to some tourist towns.

When paying the bill, Yun Ran was dumbfounded staring at the attendant: "Are you saying this bowl of noodles costs 150 bucks?"

Ha, the place is nice, but expenses are many times higher than elsewhere.

Indeed, they really treated her like a fat sheep ready for slaughter!
