Just as the sword light fell on Er Dan, a sound of air bursting exploded directly.

A circle of Protective Gang Qi appeared around Er Dan, identical to the Gang Qi that enveloped the entire valley when it hatched.

The Protective Gang Qi emitted a faint glow, which in the eyes of those around, seemed like a miracle.

Yun Ran, who was playing dead on the ground: ...

Goodness, this is just too eye-catching!

Someone murmured in a low voice: "Is this... is this really just an ordinary riding bird?"

Yun Ran continued to lie on the ground as steady as a mountain, because soon, these people would realize that everything they saw now was mere ’coincidence’.

Earlier, to cover up Er Dan’s aura, she had placed a few camouflaging talisman papers on it.

Sure enough, with many people showing puzzled expressions, Er Dan shook its body slightly.

A few special talisman papers slowly floated away from Er Dan and hovered above it.

Yun Ran felt a surge of delight: Truly living up to her expectations!

Otherwise, Er Dan would definitely become a treasure that everyone would fight over.

"Hey, I told you, this bird doesn’t look very smart, how could it be a miracle, it’s because of these talismans."

"But on the other hand, these talisman papers look very special, I wonder if we can study them, if only we could replicate them!"

"What are you all standing around for, hurry up and take Mr. Yun back to rest. Meanwhile, we’ll temporarily manage this bird~"

...

When Yun Ran heard that these people finally remembered her, she didn’t know whether to be happy or speechless, as she gained attention thanks to Er Dan.

Soon, someone came to carry Yun Ran away.

Before leaving, Yun Ran gave Er Dan a strict order: [Behave well and draw most of the attention!]

Er Dan didn’t understand, but it knew that if it dared to disobey Yun Ran’s command, it would really get a beating. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

As Yun Ran was carried away and quickly disappeared from sight, Er Dan could only droop its head and plop down on the ground.

Once it was full, it didn’t want to deal with these people anymore, because whatever they planned to do, it wouldn’t affect it.

With fewer surrounding attack intentions, the Protective Gang Qi on Er Dan seemed capable of automatic recognition.

When it lowered to a certain threshold, the Protective Gang Qi dissipated instantly like a gust of wind.

The talisman papers floating above Er Dan also settled back onto its body.

From the time Er Dan sat down to when it tucked its head under its wing to snore away, no one had left.

Elder Kang’s eyes brimmed with uncontrollable excitement. It was unclear whether he was excited about Er Dan itself, or the talisman papers on Er Dan.

Looking at Er Dan from afar, a large blob lying there, Elder Kang lowered his voice: "Quick, go get some excellent fodder, and bring over those skilled in talisman art."

Even on Yun Ran’s side, there was someone watching, as if she were a piece of juicy meat.

When Yun Ran was brought back to the inn, the door to her room had already been repaired.

Lying on the soft bed, Yun Ran increasingly felt that pretending to faint earlier was extremely wise.

Someone’s fingertips touched her wrist, and a small voice inquired beside her: "How is it, is there anything serious?"

Before fainting, Yun Ran had deliberately adjusted her body’s state.

Even if someone came to check, they would only find she fainted from excessive excitement.

Sure enough, the voice of the person checking her wrist came: "Nothing serious, just a temporary rush of blood, a little rest will be fine."

Hearing that Yun Ran was fine, those who had brought her back breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, they had truly been frightened by that bird.

Once the room finally quieted down, Yun Ran kept her eyes tightly closed.

After a while, several footsteps gradually faded away.

The Little Paperman then flew out from under the bed: "Master, those people have truly left now."

As it spoke, the Little Paperman wore a blatantly speechless expression on its face.

Earlier, those people even squatted outside the door for a while, it’s unclear what exactly they were trying to investigate.

Perhaps they’re inherently cautious, habitually questioning things even if they are confirmed.

Yun Ran finally opened her eyes, sat up, stretched widely, and then planned to clean the dust off her body in the bathroom.

Especially seeing the bed, clearly covered in a lot of dust, Yun Ran couldn’t hide the disdain in her eyes.

"These people just aren’t considerate, knowing I’m so dirty, they just dumped me on the bed like this, what’s wrong with putting me on the sofa!"

In fact, even if those people had placed Yun Ran on the sofa, she would still complain.

Ultimately, she just found them unpleasant, and no matter what they did, it was annoying.

Yun Ran quickly emerged clean, with the Little Paperman holding a highly absorbent towel, wiping Yun Ran’s hair.

Meanwhile, it reported on what happened after Yun Ran and Er Dan left.

"Master, shortly after you left, people from nearby rooms came out to check, but they just glanced and then went back.

I investigated, those people are Dark Masters, from their conversations, it seems they came to Moonlight City for an auction.

Also, this inn is run by the son of the City Lord’s little uncle’s third aunt, as long as you don’t provoke the Xuan Master Association, it’s very safe here."

The last sentence might be useful for others.

But for Yun Ran, high safety just becomes a formality.

She truly is someone who can’t have peace wherever she goes!

Yun Ran’s hair dried quickly, and the Little Paperman quickly changed out the previously dusty bedding.

"I’ll sleep for a bit first. When night falls, I’ll investigate the whereabouts of the remaining two copper mirrors!"

The Little Paperman could finally rest now, sticking itself behind the door, staying alert to the surroundings.

Yun Ran enjoyed the current peace, completely putting Er Dan out of her mind.

While Er Dan snored, its surroundings had been set up with numerous deadly traps.

The people who were initially called over were shocked when they saw the massive Er Dan and the destroyed buildings around it.

Obviously, they found it hard to believe how such a mere bird could have such terrifying destructive power!

Only when they confirmed that there were no flaws in their defenses did they let out a sigh of relief one by one.
