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

Nangong Wu put away the gas mask and then took out a poison gas bomb from her spatial storage.

Suddenly, a dark figure descended from the sky, landing in front of her. The newcomer was dressed in black and masked, his voice low and menacing, "Quick, let's go! I'll cover our retreat!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Nangong Wu was startled; it was actually Xiao Lin.

This guy is badly injured, how did he end up here?

Could he have been secretly following her? How much of what she did just now did he see?

Her eyes suddenly sharpened. This person might already know her secret. She couldn't let him live!

While he was pondering, Xiao Lin had already drawn his sword and started fighting with those people.

Seeing that the man seemed genuinely protective of her, she abandoned her thought of shooting him.

"Damn it..." Nangong Wu looked at the increasing number of guards and really wanted to curse.

With this person here, she simply cannot wreak havoc.

But Xiao Lin's martial arts skills were really high. In just a few moves, several corpses were already lying on the ground.

Seeing that she was still standing there without moving, Xiao Lin thought she was scared, so he had no choice but to step back and pull her away.

But the guards of the Prince's mansion were not to be trifled with, and they quickly stopped them again.

Seeing that this wouldn't work, Nangong Wu thought of taking out a folding crossbow to help.

Suddenly, Xiao Lin picked her up, hoisted her onto his shoulder, swung his sword to force back the two guards in front of him, and used his lightness skill to leap onto the roof.

Prince Rui's guards gave chase, and countless hidden weapons were shot at them from mid-air.

Nangong Wu was so angry she felt like they were going to die here if things continued like this.

Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to use the shield in his spatial storage to block the hidden weapon.

However, it was as if Xiao Lin had eyes in the back of his head. He suddenly twisted his body in mid-air, and his long sword danced so fast that it was impenetrable, sweeping away all the hidden weapons.

Nangong Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. "Is this even possible?"

How did he manage to do it all in mid-air, carrying another person, twisting his body, wielding a sword, and fighting back in one fluid motion? It's so unscientific.

But because of his pause, the guards caught up again, and there were several groups of them.

"Put me down..." Nangong Wu clung tightly to Xiao Lin's neck, afraid that he would throw her off.

At such a height and at such a speed, being thrown off could really kill someone.

But Xiao Lin seemed not to hear her words, and his sword danced even faster, carving a bloody path through the encirclement of dozens of people.

However, more and more guards arrived, blocking their way in both directions.

Nangong Wu really wanted to bite Xiao Lin right now. If he was going to follow her, why couldn't he just watch from the shadows? Why did he have to come out here?

His appearance attracted all the guards from the Prince's mansion, but instead of helping, he caused even more trouble. He really made things worse!

And there's the time bomb she planted in the study, which is about to explode. It's lured Nangong Xun here, so how can she kill him?

"It's that assassin! We can't let him get away!" A guard recognized Xiao Lin as the assassin from that day.

"Put me down!" Nangong Wu shouted in Xiao Lin's ear.

Unless she unleashes her ultimate weapon from her spatial storage, none of them will be able to leave here safely.

But first, you have to drug this troublesome thing.

Xiao Lin stiffened slightly after being yelled at like that.

It was because of that momentary lapse in movement that his arm was slashed by a guard's sword.

Xiao Lin took a step in mid-air and landed on a rooftop.

At that very moment, Nangong Wu's time bomb was about to explode.

"Bang!"

The enormous explosion sounded like a thunderclap from a clear sky, deafeningly loud.

In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed and churned, like a menacing fire dragon soaring into the heavens, appearing particularly dazzling in the silent night.

The massive blast wave swept outwards, affecting the large warehouse as well, and the guards were thrown from the air by the shockwave.

As soon as Xiao Lin landed on the roof, he was also jolted by the violent shockwave, but he instinctively pulled Nangong Wu into his arms and used his back to shield her from the rubble and heat.

"Hurry up!" Nangong Wu hung herself back on Xiao Lin. This guy's lightness skill is so amazing, it's better to let him carry her.

"..." Xiao Lin looked at her, his lips twitching almost imperceptibly.

Without hesitation, he picked her up again and flew away.

"Oh no, the assassin escaped..."

By the time the guards realized what was happening, they had already left Prince Rui's residence.

Xiao Lin only put Nangong Wu down after returning to the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion.

"Why did you go to Prince Rui's mansion too?" Nangong Wu pulled down the veil covering her face.

"This isn't the place to talk, I'll head back now," Xiao Lin said, and walked away.

"You're injured!"

"I have the medicine you gave me..." Xiao Lin continued walking.

"..." Nangong Wu watched his departing figure, and always felt that he was someone important.

Has she let a wolf into her house?

"Princess, you're back!" Li Feng's figure flew down from the rooftop.

"You just saw Xiao Lin," Nangong Wu said definitively.

"I saw it." Li Feng looked at her with a worried expression. "After you left, I have been waiting for you to come back."

The commotion at Prince Rui's residence was too great, and I was really worried, so I went out to look for you..."

So, we saw Xiao Lin carrying her back.

"I'm fine! What happened at Prince Rui's residence has nothing to do with us. Go back and rest!"

Prince Rui's guards all recognized Xiao Lin as an assassin, so they would not suspect her.

To be honest, this thing is actually quite useful.

Li Feng looked her over and, seeing that she was indeed unharmed, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture. "Yes, Your subordinate takes his leave."

Nangong Wu also turned around and returned to her Drunken Plum Courtyard.

This night was destined to be a night of injustice.

The Prince Rui's mansion was bombed, and the earth-shattering explosion was so shocking that Emperor Mingde was jolted awake from his dream by the shaking of his dragon bed.

Thinking it was an earthworm turning over, they hurriedly sent people to check what was going on.

The eunuch went out for a while and then returned to report that Prince Rui had been attacked by assassins and his palace had been bombed.

Enraged, Emperor Mingde ordered the city to be sealed off and a search for the assassins to be conducted.

Outside, chaos reigned and panic gripped the people, while the culprit slept soundly until 3:45 AM.

Nangong Wu turned over, and seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, she sat up.

"I wonder if that bastard Nangong Xun was killed in the explosion?"

She got out of bed, put on a coat, and opened the door.

Li Shuang and Li An were standing guard outside the door, and they bowed to her.

"Princess, you're awake?"

"Come in!"

With such a commotion last night, they must have something to say.

"Speak your mind!"

"The Prince Rui's mansion was robbed last night. The storeroom was completely looted, and the mansion was even bombed. His Majesty was furious when he found out and ordered the city to be sealed off to search for the assassins. No place should be missed. Our mansion may also be searched," Li Shuang reported.

"The Prince Rui's mansion was robbed? Is the Prince Rui dead or not?" Nangong Wu just wanted to know if that bastard was dead or not.
