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

Nangong Wu dismounted. "Brother, I've packed everything away. I'll put it in my space for now, and I'll take it out for you once we've settled down."

"I don't need it." Nangong Xiao smiled and shook his head at her.

"Little sister, these things were brought here as a gift for the three children. You can keep them for them. Take a look when you have time, and take any you like."

Nangong Wu was touched. "Okay, I'll keep that for now. Thank you."

He earned all these things with his life, she won't take them. She'll give them back to him after he gets married.

"We're the closest of siblings, why are you thanking me?" Nangong Xiao patted her head. "Quickly pack your things, let's go back as soon as possible."

"Okay." Nangong Wu raised her hand and mentally stored everything into her spatial storage.

Let's go!

The brother and sister walked back to the helicopter.

Nangong Xiao blew a whistle to bring Lie Feng back, pointed south, and said, "We're going back. You lead the way."

The fierce wind spread its wings and soared into the sky.

Nangong Wu went up to the first cabin and saw that the large cabin was full of about three hundred Blood Moon Society members. Ai Qi, Ai Lin and Li Shuang were still rescuing people.

Once Nangong Xiao was seated, the plane was started.

With the strong winds leading the way, they didn't take any detours.

This falcon has a great sense of direction; it actually landed right where she took out the helicopter.

Nangong Wu got off the plane first and made room in the good carriage so that the injured person could be brought into the city.

Upon entering Runan City, Nangong Wu instructed Su Siyan to make arrangements for the Blood Moon Society members, while the wounded were sent to the government office for further treatment.

With these few hundred Blood Moon Society members, their ranks grew stronger and stronger.

"Brother, how many people are there in your Blood Moon Society?" Nangong Wu asked him.

"Not many, just over a thousand people. These three hundred-plus are from the headquarters, and the rest are scattered in various countries to gather intelligence," Nangong Xiao said.

"A thousand or so people isn't a lot?" Nangong Wu asked, somewhat surprised.

A sect with a thousand members is considered a large sect.

"Look at my Xiaoyao Sect, it only has a little over a hundred people, and Feiyuweimen holds two positions."

"You're different!" Nangong Xiao shook his head again. "You founded your sect simply because of your identity, to deal with things in the martial world, while I did it for survival, to have my own power and territory."

"Brother, let me ask you something. When you learned my name and what I did, what was your first impression?" Nangong Wu asked him.

"Danger." Nangong Xiao blurted out those two words.

"Then you have someone investigate me!" Nangong Wu felt that anyone would have done the same.

"I also have people in the capital of the Western Yan Kingdom. They know everything you have done in the capital, and they even saw you blow up the Ming family. They know you have powerful weapons and are ruthless and heartless."

One of your two uncles was killed by you, and the other was expelled from the palace and then became the Prince of Zhenyuan. Such a powerful and vengeful person makes me wary of him.

"I also heard that you were investigating the Nine Nether Sect, so I knew you wanted to take action against it!" Nangong Xiao said, recounting his initial assessment of her.

"Now I know that Nangong Qi colluded with the Nine Nether Sect to steal me when I was only a month old. He also participated in the murder of my mother and father. It was only after you found out the truth that you killed Nangong Qi's family."

"Ruthless, heartless, and vindictive." Nangong Wu couldn't help but smile upon hearing his assessment. "Brother, you didn't move to the Northern Di Kingdom because you're afraid of me, did you?"

"Indeed, I don't want to be your enemy." Nangong Xiao admitted, "Even Changyang Temple is wary of you and has closed its gates for more than four years. We also have to avoid your sharp edge."

"Hey! It's all because of my bad reputation that you were scared away, making me search for you for several more years." Nangong Wu said with a hint of self-deprecation.

"Sister, there's no need to blame yourself. Perhaps it was my destiny." Nangong Xiao had come to terms with it. "It's already a great fortune that you were able to find me, recognize my ancestors, and reunite my family."

The brother and sister chatted all the way back to the second hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

People who encountered them on the road greeted them respectfully.

After lunch, Nangong Wu called a meeting with key personnel to discuss how to renovate Runan City in the future.

They decided to first dam the moat, then demolish the original city walls, and then expand outwards.

However, just as they finalized their plans, a heavy rainstorm struck that afternoon.

It was as if a hole had been punched in the sky; it rained heavily for five days in a row, and the sky was covered with dark, heavy clouds.

Nangong Wu sensed something was wrong with the weather, so she cast a divination, and her face darkened afterward.

At this moment, Li Shuang returned from outside, took off the raincoat that Nangong Wu had given her, took off her water shoes, and changed into a pair of clean shoes before coming in.

"Your Highness, the rain has been too heavy for the past three days. The moat is almost overflowing. If this continues, we will be trapped in the city."

"Mmm," Nangong Wu hummed in response.

Li Shuang then noticed that her expression was off. "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Nangong Wu swept her hand away, putting the things away, and looked at the rain outside the door. "This time, it's probably a natural disaster."

"This..." Li Shuang's expression also changed.

If it's a natural disaster, many people will likely die.

"Go and call Cao Bin here," Nangong Wu ordered.

"Yes." Li Shuang left and put the raincoat back on.

After Cao Bin joined them, Nangong Wu transferred him back to be in charge of security in Runan City.

Soon after, Cao Bin arrived, taking off his straw hat and raincoat.

Because he was covered in sweat, he only stood outside the door and bowed to her.

"Your Highness, please give your orders."

Nangong Wu said, "This rain won't stop anytime soon. Runan City is located in a low-lying area. If it continues like this, the water in the moat may flood into the city. We need to prepare for an evacuation."

Cao Bin's expression changed slightly, and he raised his head. "Then, in Your Highness's opinion, what should we do?"

If even Runan City is flooded, then the area within a ten-mile radius will likely become an ocean.

"You've been here for many years, so you must know there are caves nearby. Make some preparations, send some food into the cave first, and then send people to guard it, just in case," Nangong Wu instructed.

If the moat floods into Runan City, nothing can be taken away from the city.

"This subordinate understands!" Cao Bin withdrew.

Three more days passed, and the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping. The water in the moat had overflowed, and the area a mile outside the city gates was flooded, making it impossible to leave.

Inside the government office, everyone looked grim.

For eight consecutive days, it rained heavily to torrentially. The crops planted in the fields outside were flooded, resulting in no harvest. What would the people eat?

Cao Bin reported again, "Your Highness, the water level has risen another two feet, and the water will flood into the city!"
