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

Emperor Nanqi said, "It's alright. It's already very kind of you to bring the children to spend New Year's Eve with me and the Empress! There's not much going on in the court during the New Year, and my health has improved a lot, so let him go with you! Let him spend some quality time with the children."

Bei Chenyan held Nangong Wu's hand and said to his father, "Father, Mother, I will be back in two days."

The three children were delighted to hear this.

"Father, are you really coming back with us?"

"Hmm, are you happy?" Bei Chenyan asked the three children.

"Happy."

Nangong Jue and Nangong Xi each held his hand and shook him.

"Go! The court session will not begin until the fifth day of the month," said the Emperor of Southern Qi.

Anyway, Nangong Wu has that flying chicken, it only takes half a day to get there. She will send the Crown Prince back in two days, and the three children will come along too. He and the Empress will be able to see the children again.

"Okay." Nangong Wu nodded. "I'll send you back on the fourth day of the new year."

They kept watch until midnight that night before leaving.

Before parting with them, Empress Wan held the hands of the three children again and again, giving them repeated instructions before reluctantly boarding the palanquin to return to Luanfeng Palace.

After Emperor Nanqi was also carried away, the group returned to the Eastern Palace.

Huo Jing did not sleep in the spatial dimension, but stayed in a side hall of Yongming Palace.

Nangong Wu sent the three children into the space and asked Eileen to help take care of them.

"Come with me to a place." Bei Chenyan suddenly picked her up and leaped onto the roof.

It was so sudden! Nangong Wu quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Where are we going?"

Bei Chenyan did not answer her, and after a while he stopped.

Several figures emerged from the shadows, and upon seeing that it was the Crown Prince, they immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Your Highness, I have come to pay my respects."

Bei Chenyan put Nangong Wu down. "Get up! You don't need to wait here."

"Yes," the guard replied, then slipped back into the shadows.

"What are we doing here?" Nangong Wu looked around at the surroundings. There were rows of houses, probably warehouses or something.

"Wuwu, I've stored some grain, vegetables, and meat in my warehouse. Take them with you! Let's get through this together." Bei Chenyan knew it wasn't easy for her to support hundreds of thousands of people.

"No need." Nangong Wu waved her hand at him. "Over the past few years, I've collected a lot of grain, meat, and vegetables, and stored them in my space. It's enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people for a year without any problem."

"I know you have the ability, but I just want to help you. Don't make me look too pathetic," Bei Chenyan said.

"Ha..." Nangong Wu couldn't help but laugh. "If someone as talented as you is incompetent, then there are very few capable people in the world."

Seeing her smile, Bei Chenyan smiled too, and pulled her towards a warehouse, "Come on, let's go see the grain I've stored."

He opened the largest warehouse, which was full of bags.

"Southern Qi Kingdom mainly produces rice and corn; take all of these with you!"

"Okay, then I'll take it." Nangong Wu knew he wanted to do his best.

She stored all five large warehouses—three for rice, one for vegetables, and one for corn—in her spatial storage.

Corn can be used as horse feed.

Afterwards, Bei Chenyan took her to the ice cellar and took away some meat.

The next day.

They had already left Jade Dragon City before Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

Bei Chenyan hadn't flown a plane for several months, so this time he was the one piloting the helicopter.

Huo Jing didn't enter the space either, but sat on the plane looking at the scenery outside.

At noon, they returned to Runing City, and the helicopter landed outside the north gate of Runan City, at the site of the inner city wall construction.

Nangong Xiao led his men out to greet them, "Father, sister, you're back."

"Brother, we're so sorry we couldn't come back to spend New Year's Eve with you yesterday," Nangong Wu said to him.

"It's just New Year's Eve, I'm already very happy that you can come back today..." Nangong Xiao was surprised to see Bei Chenyan getting off the plane. "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to come along too."

"Your Highness!" Bei Chenyan cupped his hands in greeting. "It's the New Year holiday, and there are no major events in court, so I've come to spend the New Year with the children."

"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities." Nangong Xiao quickly helped him up. "We're all very happy that you've come, but as you can see, the city is in a state of chaos, and we're afraid we can't properly entertain you."

"It's alright, as you know, I wasn't raised entirely in luxury," Bei Chenyan said.

He joined the Kunlun Sect at a young age and got up before dawn every day to practice martial arts. He had to do everything himself. Later, he went into battle to kill enemies, wandered the martial world, was poisoned, and was assassinated. He experienced all kinds of dangers and hardships.

"Uncle, we're back too."

Nangong Jue and Nangong Xi each hugged one of Nangong Xiao's legs.

"Alright, your uncle has prepared New Year's gifts for you." Nangong Xiao squatted down and pinched the three children's cheeks.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, let's go inside and talk!" Li Zhan said to them.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk." Nangong Xiao took the two children's hands and walked towards their living quarters.

Nangong Wu glanced around and, not seeing Qiao Xiangqing, asked, "Where is Miss Qiao?"

After she joined the march for a while, she never thought about running away again.

Li Zhan replied, "Princess, Miss Qiao is at the government office in the old city, helping to prepare lunch for the people."

"Have someone go and call her. Tell her the Crown Prince has arrived and ask her to come and have lunch with us," Nangong Wu instructed.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhan immediately sent someone to find Qiao Xiangqing.

"Is Qing'er doing well here?" Bei Chenyan asked her.

"He's very capable and has helped us a lot."

The two walked towards their residence while talking.

When Bei Chenyan saw the prefabricated house they were living in, he was quite surprised.

But he didn't ask, knowing that this thing must have come from Nangong Wu's space.

Nangong Wu entered the house and saw that a sumptuous feast had already been set out.

"You've come back just in time, sit down, all of you." Nangong Xiao first had the children sit down.

"Brother, we came back just in time to have lunch with you all." Nangong Wu pulled out a chair and sat down. "Tonight, we'll have a grand banquet in the south of the city so that everyone can have a good New Year."

"Don't worry, little sister, I've already had things prepared. After lunch, we'll all get to work together," Nangong Xiao said.

Huo Jing walked over and said, "Let's have a meal first! We can deal with things after we finish eating."

Everyone sat down; they were all from the same family.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you're here!" Qiao Xiangqing ran in.

Nangong Xiao stood up and pulled out the chair next to him. "Miss Qiao, please have dinner with us."

Qiao Xiangqing saw Huo Jing was also there, and quickly bowed, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Miss Qiao, please don't be shy. Sit down and have lunch with us!" Huo Jing raised his hand.
