Er Dan rushed straight out of the bathroom, but it still remembered Yun Ran’s instructions that, in Moonlight City, it couldn’t let people know it wasn’t an ordinary bird.

So, Er Dan decided to use the most primitive way of communication.

Its exceptionally hard beak pecked directly toward Yun Ran.

Yun Ran: ...

Well, well, what an ungrateful creature! It actually dared to peck at her!

Yun Ran dodged Er Dan’s attack with a sidestep.

Then, Er Dan’s beak collided with the wooden door of the room.

With a ’bang’, the wooden door shattered into several pieces, and in the middle, there was a faintly visible large hole.

Yun Ran didn’t know if the four people standing at the door were frightened by this scene.

However, this scene made Yun Ran hallucinate, hearing the sound of her money flowing away.

Er Dan proudly raised its head and looked at Yun Ran, then at the people opposite.

Its expression showed a definite self-satisfaction.

As if to say: That’s right, it’s me who did the previous things, just like what happened now!

Yun Ran rubbed her forehead, feeling like the mischief she committed in her youth had come back to hit her like a boomerang.

After a while, the men standing at the door finally came to their senses.

All of their eyes turned to Er Dan, the Great Nourishing Pill was no longer their primary concern.

"This bird is too dangerous, we have to take it away!"

Yun Ran quickly waved her hand: "Fine, you can take it away, right now!"

Er Dan originally thought that if it showed off how powerful and useful it was, Yun Ran wouldn’t want to send it away.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ran actually wanted to send it away even faster, which made Er Dan unhappy.

Its eyes abruptly flashed a glow, a clear sign of impending anger.

Apart from Yun Ran, the others felt a mysterious, oppressive feeling from nowhere, making them somewhat uneasy.

Could there be an expert living here?

Yun Ran slapped Er Dan’s head, and its scheming eye instantly cleared.

"Look at you, always causing trouble. This is Moonlight City, you must be properly disciplined!"

Then, Yun Ran looked again at the men in front of her: "Please, take it away!"

Initially thinking this bird had something special, upon seeing Yun Ran eagerly sending it away.

They immediately dismissed their previous suspicions.

If the bird really was extraordinary, she would’ve hidden it, not rushed to get rid of it.

One of them glanced at the wooden door debris on the ground and at Er Dan, who still held its head high as if oblivious to its mistake.

This troublemaking creature, if not granted by an elder, no one would want.

Especially, after Yun Ran slapped it, Er Dan appeared even more foolish.

For a moment, that person seemed to empathize with Yun Ran’s urge to dispose of the bird.

A useless thing, capturing it would merely waste time and manpower.

The leader outright refused Yun Ran’s suggestion.

"Damage to property isn’t our concern; you just need to compensate the inn for the door later."

This answer left Yun Ran a bit disappointed; she indeed wanted Er Dan to endure a little hardship.

Thinking the matter was finished, she didn’t expect the man to change the subject.

"However, since you’re the owner and your bird injured someone, you still need to come with us; Moonlight City’s rules can’t be broken!"

Yun Ran: ...

Haha, implicated by her mount, she might be the first.

Yun Ran glared sharply at Er Dan, helplessly waving her hand: "Fine, I’ll go with you, lead the way."

The floor where Yun Ran lived had excellent soundproofing, even the noise from the door shattering only disturbed the neighboring room.

But the room’s occupant didn’t come out to check the situation. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Obviously, they clearly understood Moonlight City’s rules, keeping curiosity at bay for things they shouldn’t interfere with.

As Yun Ran prepared to leave, Er Dan quickly followed.

Er Dan’s legs were really long, Yun Ran and the others walked several steps, Er Dan nimbly closed the gap.

Its speed was almost comparable to galloping horses.

The people encircling Yun Ran saw Er Dan’s movement, their faces showed astonishment.

Previously, hearing that the bird was a mount surprised them a bit, thinking it was just the girl’s hobby.

Now, witnessing Er Dan’s speed, they realized this creature truly was a steed.

Just not particularly sharp, prone to causing trouble, unlike controlling a horse.

The leader’s gaze subtly shifted to pity for Yun Ran.

The group quickly arrived at their destination, going inside, Yun Ran saw the person whose arm Er Dan nearly pierced before.

His hand was wrapped in new bandages, looking quite shattered overall.

If the culprit hadn’t been Er Dan, Yun Ran might’ve joined in condemning the person who hurt him; the attack was too ruthless!

But now, Yun Ran pretended not to see to avoid any awkwardness.

Er Dan was entirely oblivious to Yun Ran’s awkwardness, strolling in boldly.

Its eyes roamed around as if it wasn’t there to be dealt with but to have fun.

Yun Ran reached out to restrain Er Dan’s neck, her tone full of warning: "Behave yourself! If you cause any more trouble here, believe me, I’ll skin you!"

Just then, a smiling old man stood before Yun Ran.

In his hand was a special Compass, its pointer utterly still as if welded in place.

Er Dan curiously eyed the Compass, trying to get closer.

The old man heard about how hard this bird’s beak was and its formidable destructiveness, yet the Compass remained unmoved.

It was proof the bird was just a normal bird.

The old man immediately put the Compass away, looking at Yun Ran with kindly grandfatherly eyes.

"Young lady, you’ve raised your bird well, but its trouble-making ability is a bit too much; as its owner, you must compensate~"

Yun Ran came prepared for this, hearing his words without surprise.

Her expression turned sincere: "Yes, you’re right, I’m willing to compensate, but how much should I pay?"
