In order to allow the man to perform better, Yun Ran even stepped back several steps, making the space available.

As for worrying whether Er Dan would be beaten to death, hehe...

In the past, whenever she made a mistake, Junior Master would hang her up for a beating; Er Dan facing the consequence of his mistakes, what’s the problem?

Now, it was the man’s turn to be dumbfounded. Wasn’t he just playing hard to get, hoping for a bit more compensation?

How did it turn into this situation, leaving him at an impasse?

Most of the people nearby were not ordinary; naturally, they could also sense the aura from the Great Nourishing Pill Yun Ran had taken out earlier.

Originally, they were a bit anxious, such good stuff others had while they did not.

This blatant frustration, anyone could see it and understand.

But in Moonlight City, any form of fighting is prohibited, leaving them to grit their teeth and watch.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the situation reversed, and the injured man lost out; they wouldn’t give him anymore!

Immediately someone started jeering, showing a typical envy-of-the-rich-and-mock-the-poor demeanor.

"Oh dear, to me, this is just a minor issue; they’ve already healed you, asking you to return it, that’s already quite generous."

"Exactly, everyone’s fellow cultivators, always meeting each other, don’t be so petty, a token gesture is enough."

"It’s still you first brought it upon yourself, who forces someone to sell their mount upon first sighting it.

Luckily it’s just a bird; if someone else’s mount was a horse and you went up to buy it, imagine being stepped on, then you’d know misery."

...

The man who was frustrated due to a failed gambit now heard the sour words and mockery from those around him.

An unknown anger instantly flared at the man’s head.

If it were some other place, he might have directly taken action.

He wouldn’t just want to show that bird a lesson; he’d not spare Yun Ran either.

Who let Yun Ran’s bird dare to harm him, and Yun Ran had such things as the Great Nourishing Pill on her!

In the man’s mind, all good things should belong to them.

Except this was Moonlight City, otherwise, the word ’buy’ would mean nothing to them.

Now, Yun Ran has cornered him; he couldn’t easily take action against Yun Ran’s bird.

Taking a deep breath, the man managed a twisted, ugly smile.

"I... young lady, you misunderstood, how would I strike your bird."

Standing nearby, Yun Ran could even hear the man’s molars on the verge of cracking as he spoke.

Tsk tsk tsk, it seems this place’s rules are strict, strictness has its benefits.

As an example, certain typically domineering individuals here have to behave.

Anyway, she’d already given him the chance to return the favor; he forfeited it, so it’s not her problem anymore.

At the end of the day, isn’t it this person’s fault for trying to persuade her to sell Er Dan right in front of Er Dan; no wonder Er Dan retaliated.

"Well then, since you’ve spoken that way, if I continue it would mean ignoring your face."

After speaking, Yun Ran reached out to tap Er Dan’s little head and then turned towards the largest inn courtyard.

The people surrounding were quite pleased with the outcome.

Each satisfaction showing as they depart.

Only the man remained, vengeful eyes glued to Yun Ran’s back, resolving to show this dead girl someday!

The incident quickly alerted the Moonlight City managers.

Yun Ran’s status wasn’t important enough for them to care, their interest lay in the Great Nourishing Pill Yun Ran held.

Even Er Dan, who nearly pierced through someone’s arm, was not worth placing in the eyes of those managers.

Just as Yun Ran settled in, took a sip of water, and planned to freshen up, the door was knocked on.

Er Dan immediately halted its chewing, looking towards the door.

The Little Paperman promptly stopped making the bed, hiding away again.

Yun Ran waved her hand, and Er Dan immediately understood, retreating to the bathroom.

Scanning the room for any flaws, finding none, Yun Ran finally opened the door.

Upon opening, standing there were four men uniformly dressed, each over six foot three.

Looking from a distance, perhaps a pleasant sight.

But these men stood in front of her like walls, purposely radiating their presence.

Apparently aiming to exert psychological pressure on Yun Ran.

Yun Ran: ...

She really hadn’t expected these people could be so shameless.

How quickly they found her, and moreover, no one cared about her privacy.

This feeling was truly unpleasant.

Without concealing her indifference, Yun Ran’s expression of dissatisfaction was plainly visible.

"Who are you people, what are you doing at my door?"

This lousy inn, supposedly the best, costing her so much money, yet so quickly sold her out.

"We are the Moonlight City inspection team, please state your identity, and we’re here to understand the incident of your mount injuring someone."

Yun Ran didn’t believe a single word from these people.

Alas, it’s her fault for being too kind before, thinking Er Dan suddenly harming people meant she had to clean up for Er Dan.

Just like back when she did bad things, her Junior Master always dutifully cleaned up the mess.

Every time Junior Master was truly sincere, that’s why she always caused trouble but in Xuan Sect, her reputation was aggressive but not bad.

Little did she know, human greed could be like this, that person dared to act coy.

Unfortunately, she was not as kind-hearted as Junior Master, certainly, Er Dan wasn’t worth her defending desperately.

Ultimately, she originally planned to eat Er Dan eventually.

Though she had some affection for Er Dan, it wasn’t much.

Yun Ran understood why these people came, these people knew Yun Ran knew why they were there.

As long as Yun Ran was sensible and obediently handed over the Great Nourishing Pill, everything would be resolved smoothly.

However, Yun Ran was naturally rebellious.

The more others wanted to profit from her, with threats, she wouldn’t let it slide.

Since they pretend to be dumb, she’d follow along.

"So that’s it, alas, I didn’t expect my master-given mount would cause such trouble, so be it, I’ll hand it over for you to deal with as you please!"

Yun Ran’s words had barely finished when those standing at her door hadn’t yet reacted.

Er Dan hiding in the bathroom couldn’t stand it!
