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

"Young master, you've come at the right time. There's only one superior room left," the innkeeper said with a bow and a smile.

"Then let's go to another place..." Nangong Wu was about to speak when she saw Bei Chenyan take out a gold ingot and place it on the counter. "We'll take this superior room. Also, please arrange rooms for the three people behind us, and feed the horses some good stuff."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the gold ingot. He picked it up, bit it to test its authenticity, and, seeing that it was genuine, put it away and gave them a key.

"The room is on the third floor, young master and madam, please."

Bei Chenyan took the key and pulled Nangong Wu toward the stairwell.

"There's only one superior room available, but we can actually find another one," Nangong Wu said.

"We've been traveling all day and we're tired! Let's get some rest. Getting a superior room will save us some money, since we're not sleeping in that bed anyway," Bei Chenyan said.

Nangong Wu also thought it made sense, so she didn't say anything more and let him pull her upstairs.

Upon reaching the third floor, they found their room using the room number written on the key and opened the door.

The room was quite large, divided into an inner and outer room, separated by a gauze curtain.

The two took off their cloaks and put them into their spatial storage.

Having lived two lives, Nangong Wu possessed a spatial ability. Whether it was the hotel she stayed in in her previous life or the inn she stayed in this life, she would never sleep on the bed to avoid being seen, and she would never leave her clothes lying around in places where others had sat or slept.

The two had been sitting for a short while when a waiter brought up two pots of hot water.

"Sir, one pot of hot water is for washing up, and the other pot of boiling water is for making tea."

Nangong Wu took out a tael of silver and asked the waiter, "I want to ask you some questions. If you answer truthfully, this silver is yours."

The waiter's eyes lit up as he looked at the silver. "Madam, please speak. I will tell you everything I know, without reservation."

"Have any foreigners or Taoist priests visited your shop in the past few days?" Nangong Wu asked him.

"Foreigners...Taoist priests?" The waiter thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered, "Three days ago, more than a dozen people came to the shop. They were dressed very elegantly and their accents indicated they were from the Western Yan Kingdom. I also heard one of their attendants call out something like 'Your Highness.' We were very busy at the time, so I didn't get a good look."

As for Taoist priests, I have never seen one.

Nangong Wu gave him the loose silver, saying, "There's no need to bother me unless it's important."

"Yes, thank you, Madam." The waiter thanked him repeatedly, then left, closing the door behind him.

"It seems that the royal family of the Western Yan Kingdom has also arrived," Bei Chenyan said.

"If that's the case, then Nangong Chengkun might be here too." Nangong Wu's eyes turned cold. "He's practically courting death."

"Although Nangong Chengkun is not a good person, he knows his place and doesn't dare to court death," Bei Chenyan said with a smile.

Otherwise, she would have killed him long ago.

As soon as the waiter left, Nangong Xi's voice came from the space: "Daddy, Mommy, Aunt Eileen has prepared the meal. Come in and eat!"

"Wait a moment," Nangong Wu replied.

The three guards went to release the horses; we'll have to wait for them for a while, otherwise we won't know which room they're staying in.

After a while, she heard footsteps coming up to the third floor. There were three people. She went to open the door and saw that it was Wei Yang and the other two.

"Come in and talk." Nangong Wu turned and went back to her room.

Cao Li was the last to enter and closed the door.

"Your Highness, our room is on the second floor," Wei Yang said.

"You all go and rest. You don't need to go out to gather information. Just protect yourselves," Bei Chenyan instructed.

"Understood."

Wei Yang and Cao Li bowed to each other.

After the three of them left, Bei Chenyan closed the door.

"Let's go inside and eat first." With a thought, Nangong Wu led Bei Chenyan into the space.

Inside the space, Aiqi and Erin were setting out the food, and the children were helping to distribute chopsticks and bowls.

Huo Jing was sitting on the sofa. When he saw them come in, he put down the materials he was holding and stood up.

"Father-in-law, please sit here." Bei Chenyan pulled out a chair for Huo Jing.

"Okay, sit down, both of you!" Huo Jing said to the two of them after sitting down, "Wuwu, our family is not short of money. Don't do anything dangerous for money."

"Father, rest assured, we came here only to kill Ling Yangzi and Bei Chenzhan. The Serpent Spirit Society might also come..." Nangong Wu recounted the events to him, and then added:

"Ling Yangzi is like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce and bite at any moment. As soon as he appears, kill him first."

Adeline has been to the treasure's location. We'll go there first to arrange everything, and then we'll make our move as soon as they appear.

Huo Jing was relieved to hear that, "That's good, but you should also take care of yourself first."

"We understand." Nangong Wu nodded.

After dinner, Huo Jing took the children to digest their food, while Ai Qi and Ai Lin cleaned up the table.

Bei Chenyan took Nangong Wu's hand. "Wuwu, I haven't soaked in a hot spring in a long time. Why don't you come with me?"

"I'm not going." Nangong Wu looked at him warily. "If you want to pick someone up, go by yourself."

She hadn't soaked in a hot spring in a long time, but she absolutely couldn't bathe with this guy.

"Fine!" Bei Chenyan let go of her hand with some disappointment and walked towards the hot spring pool on his own.

Nangong Wu was a little tired and leaned back on the sofa.

"Master, you should go and rest early. I'll go out of the space to keep watch tonight," Eileen said to her.

"Okay, then I'll go rest." Nangong Wu stood up and went back to her room.

I have to travel tomorrow, so I want to go to bed early.

In the hot spring pool.

Bei Chenyan sat cross-legged in the hot spring pool, his eyes slightly closed, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

He felt that the hot spring was very helpful for his internal energy cultivation, so he entered a state of cultivation.

Since his last battle with Ling Yangzi, he has intensified his training of the Thirteen Kunlun Techniques and now he has a faint feeling of breaking through.

If I can break through the eleventh level, I can defeat Ling Yangzi.

The water around him began to rise in wisps of steam, which gradually turned into a thick fog that enveloped him.

As time passed, bubbles rose from the water around him, like water boiling.

After a while, Bei Chenyan opened his eyes, overjoyed, "I've actually broken through to the eleventh level of the Thirteen Great Skills of Kunlun!"

He stood up, feeling a surge of power within him.

Once I break through to the eleventh level of internal energy, I will definitely not let Ling Yangzi escape again when I encounter him once more.

The next day.

As dawn broke, Nangong Wu led Beichen Yan out of the space.

They sensed someone guarding the door, so they opened it and found Wei Yang standing outside.

"Come in!" Bei Chenyan let him in.

Wei Yang entered and closed the door, then turned to them and said, "Your Highness, several groups of martial artists came to the inn last night, but they left when the inn was full. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have entered the city in the middle of the night. There were several dozen of them in total, and we didn't follow them."

"There are only a few of us, so we don't need to come along. We'll talk about everything when we get there," Bei Chenyan said.
