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

Li Zhan came to fetch them. "Your Highness, we've found two stone chambers, and they've been prepared. The people have cooked hot porridge for you. Please go over there and rest!"

"Okay." Nangong Wu also felt hungry.

This is the first time my body has done such strenuous work, and it's a bit too much for it.

When they arrived at the two stone chambers, they found that there were actually doors. The guards found two wooden planks so that they could block the doors when they rested.

The room had been cleaned and wooden planks had been placed inside as beds, but it still smelled musty.

Nangong Wu didn't care, since she had her own space and wouldn't sleep in there.

"I'll rest for a while. If you need to find me, just knock on the door." She instructed Li Zhan, then moved the wooden planks to block the door and slipped into the space.

When the three children saw her come in, they all ran over and hugged her legs.

"Mother, we miss you!"

"My dear children! I miss you all too." Seeing her three adorable children, Nangong Wu felt most of her weariness disappear.

She kissed each of the three children on the cheek.

"Mother, can we go out and play?" Nangong Xi asked.

"Xi'er, be good. There's a huge flood outside. The entire city of Runan has been submerged. The people in the city can only live in caves. There are too many people, so you'll have to stay in the space for the next few days," Nangong Wu coaxed the child.

Nangong Xi blinked her big eyes, processing the meaning behind her words, and asked, "Isn't that a very bad thing?"

"Yes, the people in the city have no homes left; their belongings have all been flooded," Nangong Wu said.

Upon hearing this, the three children finally realized that the situation was very serious.

They all knew that beggars on the street had no home.

"Mother, they are so pitiful!" Nangong Jue felt sorry for people who had no home.

"So, your mother and uncle are both working to save them and make sure they have food to eat. They'll be very busy during this time, so you all need to be good and listen to Eileen and Aunt Aiqi." Nangong Wu patted her son's head.

"Kolo Yushao misses his mother!" Nangong Xi said.

"Oh?" Nangong Wu looked at the little boy standing behind them.

Luo Yushao is the son of Luo Licheng and Li Shuang. He is three and a half years old and has a robust and chubby face.

"Come here, let Auntie see you." Nangong Wu pulled Luo Yushao over. "Did you cry in your sleep last night?"

Because they had been busy for a day and a night, Li Shuang didn't have time to take care of the children.

This was the first time Luo Yushao slept without his mother. Last night, I heard him crying for his mother.

"I miss my mother!" Luo Yushao said, her voice tinged with grievance.

Just then, Li Shuang entered the stone chamber carrying a bowl of hot porridge, tapping on the wooden board. "Your Highness!"

"You can come in." Nangong Wu spoke to her from inside the space.

Li Shuang opened the wooden board and saw that there was no one in the stone chamber, so she knew that Nangong Wu had entered the spatial dimension.

"Li Shuang, block the door with wooden planks and come in to see your son," Nangong Wu relayed the message.

Li Shuang knew her son was looking for her, so she blocked the door with wooden planks.

Nangong Wu used her mind to pull her into the space.

When Luo Yushao saw his mother, he ran over and hugged her, "Mother!"

"He's crying!" Li Shuang hugged her son.

"I cried because I couldn't find my mother when I was sleeping," Luo Yushao said, looking aggrieved.

Li Shuang felt a pang of sympathy: "Aren't you sleeping with the three little princes? Why do you still need your mother to keep you company?"

"I..." Luo Yushao couldn't answer. "I just miss my mother."

"The three little princes don't miss their mother and even sleep with you. How dare you cry?" Li Shuang laughed.

When she and Nangong Wu were both busy, Eileen and Aiqi helped them take care of the children, which she trusted.

Luo Yushao hugged his mother tightly and remained silent.

"Let's not talk for now, you guys have something to eat!" Aiqi brought out a small pot.

"I'll take a shower first before I eat," Nangong Wu said, standing up.

After a busy day and night, it's now noon, and I feel really uncomfortable. All I want to do right now is take a good shower.

"Li Shuang, you should go take a shower too!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Shuang released her son. "Mother will go wash up first, and then I'll hug you when I come back."

"Luo Yushao, you can play with my toy gun." Nangong Xi took out his favorite toy gun and gave it to him.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yushao immediately stopped clinging to his mother and started playing with the toy guns and other children.

Nangong Wu and Li Shuang ate a bowl of minced meat porridge, played with the child for a while, and then went to bed.

The heavy rain continued for six days before gradually subsiding.

Nangong Wu put on her raincoat and rain boots and decided to go out and take a look.

She walked to the water's edge, where the water level was at least ten feet higher than when they had come a few days earlier, and water was flowing down from the mountain.

She conjured a small motorboat from her spatial storage, tossed it into the water, and then leaped onto it.

"Little sister, wait for me!" Nangong Xiao's voice suddenly came.

Nangong Wu turned around and saw that Nangong Xiao had followed her downstairs at some point.

"I also want to get some fresh air." Nangong Xiao flew onto the speedboat.

He had been staying in the cave for the past few days and felt suffocated. When he saw Nangong Wu come out, he followed her.

"It's been raining for a month, and we haven't received any news from Kyoto. We don't know how Father is doing." He was worried about what was happening in Kyoto.

"Don't worry! Father will be fine!" Nangong Wu knew her father's character well; he was a cunning old fox, and having learned his lesson once, he wouldn't put himself in danger.

"Your Highness, please wait for us." Another person arrived.

Several figures leaped down.

It is five people: Su Siyan, Li Zhan, Ji Hongfei, Ouyang Feng, and Cao Bin.

Nangong Wu glanced at them. "Since you want to go out, let's go take a look at Runan City together!"

Upon hearing this, the group leaped onto the speedboat.

"Get ready." Nangong Wu drove the speedboat towards Runan City.

As we emerged from the last valley, a vast expanse of white stretched before us, and in the distance, we could see Runan City.

Nangong Wu and Nangong Xiao both took out their binoculars to observe.

The entire city was submerged. The roofs of houses with two or more stories could still be seen. The city gate tower was the tallest, with two stories still visible. As for the city wall, only its outline could be seen.

Ouyang Feng sighed with emotion, "Luckily, His Highness came to pick us up, otherwise we would definitely have been delayed on the road by this rain."

"It seems that even God is helping us. Knowing that His Highness wants to rebuild Runan City, He first sent a heavy rain to flood the city."

"Now that all the houses are flooded, I'm sure none of the city's residents will object to the expansion!" Ji Hongfei said.

The houses were all made of wood, and they were no longer habitable after the floodwaters receded!

"Once the flood recedes, it will be late autumn. We'll first dam the river, then demolish the city walls and fill in the moat," Nangong Wu said.

"Sister, actually some of the stones in the city wall can still be kept and used." Nangong Xiao had seen those stones; they were quarried by humans, and most of them were rectangular blocks.
