When Granny Gu and her people burst in, they only saw a mass of flesh and blood twitching faintly amidst the ruins.
Yu Yun wasn't dead, just blasted into a mangled, bloody mess by the force.
"Granny... Save... save me..."
She used her last ounce of strength to call out to Granny Gu before passing out, her fate unknown.
The people of the Ghost Market rushed over when they heard the explosion, but by the time they arrived, the scene was a complete wreck. There was nothing else to be found.
...
Ao Wu avoided the crowd and left the Ghost Market. He didn't go to the palace, but instead to the Tiger Clan's residence.
The house was unguarded and the main gate was tightly locked. That didn't matter—he could just jump over the wall.
Finding a random room to enter, Ao Wu carefully took Yu An out from where he held her against his chest.
To be precise, it was Yu An in her beast form.
—A small bird with downy, yellow feathers.
"With the Feather's protection, An'an will be fine."
