With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"No fuss, Xi'er is being very good now, she's not crying when she takes her medicine." Bei Chenyan held Nangong Xi and sat down next to her.

"Did you sleep well? If you're still tired, let's rest for another night and continue our journey tomorrow."

"I've slept until now and I'm fine. We'll have some food and then leave." Nangong Wu wanted to travel at night so that even if someone heard the sound of a helicopter, they wouldn't be able to see what it was.

Just then, they heard shouts outside.

"Someone's coming!" Nangong Wu thought to herself.

The next moment, everything around the house became transparent, and you could clearly see everything outside.

Bei Chenyan was first stunned, then shocked, and then looked incredulous.

"This..." It's simply amazing.

"Let's go out and ask around to see where we are?" Nangong Wu grabbed his hand and slipped out of the space.

"Roar!" A low, short roar came.

Upon hearing this, Bei Chenyan's expression changed slightly. "That's the sound of a leopard."

"Run! Lead that thing there!"

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw several people dressed as hunters running down from the nearby mountain. They each carried a pitchfork on their shoulders with several pheasants and rabbits hanging from it.

But these people didn't seem flustered. When they saw two people standing there, they paused for a moment, then ran while shouting:

"There are leopards here, you'd better get out of here."

With a thought, Nangong Wu produced a pistol in her hand.

"Roar!" A leopard roared and chased them down the mountain.

Seeing that there were two more people there, the leopard turned and pounced on them.

"Bang!"

A clear gunshot rang out, and the leopard, which was running, was shot in the forehead. Blood spurted out, and it fell straight to the ground, kicking up dust.

Hearing the commotion, the group of people who had already run some distance stopped.

Everyone was surprised to see the leopard killed.

"They actually killed the leopard?"

"Hello, gentlemen, we'd like to ask for directions." Nangong Wu put away her gun and stepped forward to speak with them.

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

The hunters became alert.

"We encountered bandits and ended up here. Where is this place? How do we get out of here?"

The hunters looked them over and, seeing that Bei Chenyan was holding a small child in her arms, believed her.

"This area belongs to Gushan City, and it's about two hundred li from here." Hunter A pointed in a direction, "Follow this road for about thirty li, and you'll reach a small town. You'll be safe there."

"Thank you for informing me," Nangong Wu said gratefully.

"I didn't expect a girl like you to be so skilled, killing a leopard with just a hidden weapon." Hunter B pointed to the leopard on the ground.

Hunter C also said, "This leopard has been here for a long time and has already harmed many people. We came up the mountain to hunt this leopard."

"We set a trap ahead to lure this thing there, but we didn't expect you to kill it," said Hunter A.

"I see. Then this leopard is yours to keep," Nangong Wu said.

Hunter A waved his hand, "Miss, you hunted this leopard, you can take it to the government to claim the reward."

"No need." Nangong Wu shook her head at them. "There are only two of us, so we can't carry it. Besides, we have urgent business to attend to, so we don't need the reward."

"Then we won't stand on ceremony."

"Thank you both for helping us kill this leopard."

The hunters, seeing their distinguished bearing, knew they wouldn't care about such a small reward.

Several people came over and carried the leopard away.

"Young lady, there are often large insects in this area. You should take the children and leave quickly! Before it gets dark, get out of this mountain range as soon as possible," Hunter A urged them to leave.

"Okay, we'll be going now." Nangong Wu waved to them.

After those people had gone far away, Nangong Wu led Bei Chenyan back into the space.

Bei Chenyan walked to a table, took out a map, spread it out on it, and searched for the location of Gushan City.

"Gushan City is here. We have now entered the territory of the Northern Di Kingdom."

"We're in the territory of the Northern Di Kingdom?" Nangong Wu also came over to look at the map.

"We are currently located roughly here." The place Bei Chenyan was pointing to was very close to the border between the Northern Di Kingdom and the Eastern Jin Kingdom, located to the east of the Northern Di Kingdom.

Nangong Wu looked at his map, which was more complete than the one in the palace; it could be said to be the most comprehensive map in the world.

The Northern Di Kingdom occupied the largest area, five times the size of the Western Yan Kingdom, but it was the coldest place with low grain production; the Southern Qi Kingdom was next, but its southern part was mostly tropical forest and also the highest altitude area.

Thirdly, there was the Western Yan Kingdom, which had a relatively flat terrain, mostly black soil, which was also the most fertile land. It bordered the Northern Di Kingdom to the north, the Southern Qi Kingdom to the south, and the Eastern Jin Kingdom to the east, separated by a river.

Fourthly, there was the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although its area was only one-third that of the Western Yan Dynasty, it was the richest country. It was located on the coast to the east and had a developed marine industry, making it the country with the best geographical location.

"The Western Yan Kingdom has truly become the target of everyone's hatred. If it were to be divided among these three countries, it would truly fulfill their wishes."

The Eastern Jin Dynasty expanded its territory; the Northern Di Kingdom received grain; and the Southern Qi Kingdom was rumored to be moving its capital to the territory of the Western Yan Kingdom. Nangong Wu sneered.

Upon hearing this, Bei Chenyan immediately shook his head, "No, no, the Southern Qi Kingdom will not initiate a war against the Western Yan Kingdom."

"The Southern Qi Kingdom wouldn't?" Nangong Wu asked疑惑地, "Are you from the Southern Qi Kingdom? Then how do you know that the emperor of the Southern Qi Kingdom wouldn't?"

Bei Chenyan glanced to the side and said, "I guessed it, because the people of Nanqi are not warlike."

"I hope it will turn out as you said." Nangong Wu also felt that what he said made sense.

Because the Southern Qi Kingdom was frequently harassed by several small kingdoms to the south, it was preoccupied with its own affairs and had always maintained peaceful relations with the Western Yan Kingdom.

"It's getting late, I'll go cook." Bei Chenyan changed the subject, handing the child to Nangong Wu, "Xi'er, you hold her for now, I'll go help Miss Ai cook."

Nangong Wu asked in surprise, "You can cook?"

"I can learn if I don't know how. Once I learn, I'll cook for you." Bei Chenyan decided to learn to cook in the future.

Because Eileen had just told him, "The way to a woman's heart is through her stomach. And women love to shop! Men shouldn't act aloof with women they like; they need to be romantic."

She also said that red roses represent love.

Hearing Eileen's words was like a revelation to him.

It's all my fault for being so dense before. I didn't know how to please a girl. I never bought anything for Nangong Wu, and I didn't understand romance at all. I thought that being nice to her and the children was an expression of love.

Nangong Wu watched his retreating figure, shook her head, and carried Nangong Xi to the infirmary to give her a check-up.
