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

Nangong Wu opened the door and saw Bei Chenyan already standing outside, holding a half-sized box in his hand.

"It's so late, why did you come all this way?" Although she said that, she still stepped aside to let him in. "Come in and we can talk."

"I've brought you your wedding dress." Bei Chenyan walked into the house and handed the box in front of her. "Open it and take a look, try it on, and if it doesn't fit, take it to someone to have it altered."

"Is this a gift for my wedding dress?" Nangong Wu took the box.

I remember Granny Feng mentioning that she had already prepared her wedding dress.

She didn't have time to embroider her wedding dress herself, so she had to ask someone else for help.

"It's too late tonight. I'll have Li Shuang and Li An help me put it on tomorrow morning." Nangong Wu put the box aside.

Wearing a wedding dress is too complicated; she simply can't put it on by herself.

Bei Chenyan turned around and closed the door. "I want to practice my skills in the spring water in the space."

Nangong Wu rubbed her temples. "Is an hour alright?"

"I'm not sure, but you can go to sleep first, and I'll come find you when I come out." Bei Chenyan took her hand.

With a thought, Nangong Wu sent him into the hot spring pool, then entered her own space, sat on the sofa, and picked up a book to read.

As night deepened and drowsiness crept in, she fell asleep on the sofa while watching.

Bei Chenyan didn't come out until almost 1 AM. He saw her sleeping soundly, half-lying down, with her right leg stretched out on the sofa and her left leg bent and half-hanging off the sofa.

"This girl, she can even fall asleep like this."

He walked slowly forward and carefully picked her up.

As soon as he picked her up, Nangong Wu woke up immediately. Her vigilance, honed by her profession in her past life, made her think she was in danger, and she reacted instinctively, grabbing the man's throat.

"...?" Bei Chenyan froze.

Nangong Wu smelled the familiar ambergris scent on him, loosened her grip, and became fully awake, seeing Bei Chenyan's handsome face magnified close to hers.

"you……"

"Wuwu, are you trying to murder your husband?" Bei Chenyan looked at her with a wronged expression.

Nangong Wu quickly withdrew her hand. "Sorry, it's a habit. Wake me up first next time."

Otherwise, it would be terrible if she just shot him.

"I saw that you looked uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa, so I wanted to carry you to bed. I didn't expect that as soon as you woke up, the first thing you did was try to strangle me," Bei Chenyan said.

"It was a mistake, put me down first..." Nangong Wu pushed his chest.

Bei Chenyan hugged her even tighter and walked towards her room, saying, "Since I've already picked you up, I'll take you back to your room to sleep."

Nangong Wu glanced at the time. "It's already past 1 AM. You should go home soon."

"What? Afraid I'll stay and eat you?" Bei Chenyan chuckled.

Nangong Wu glared at him, "It's not certain who will eat whom yet."

"Then I'll wait and see. On our wedding night, I'll see how you devour me, hahaha..." Bei Chenyan laughed even louder.

By this time, he had reached Nangong Wu's room and pushed the door open to go inside.

This was the first time he had entered Nangong Wu's room. When he saw the huge room, the enormous bed, and the luxurious decorations, he was stunned for a moment.

"That's enough, you can go back now!" Nangong Wu got off him and sent him out of the space with a thought.

Bei Chenyan shook his head, then smiled helplessly, opened the door and left.

He knew that Nangong Wu was still wary of him.

But it doesn't matter, they have a long future ahead of them, and they will make her believe in him.

The next day, after having breakfast, Nangong Wu asked Li Shuang and Li An to help her try on her wedding dress.

"Where are Shao'er and Ning'er? Why didn't you bring the children?"

"They went to find their father!" Li An said.

The two children are too naughty; they want to take everything they see. There are too many things here, and they are all valuables. I'm afraid they'll get damaged, so I can't bring the children here.

Nangong Wu nodded, "Everyone has been too busy lately. They rarely have free time, so they should spend more time with the children."

Just then, someone else arrived outside.

Nangong Wu looked up and saw that it was Steward Fang and Granny Feng leading people in, presumably to continue counting the dowry.

"Is there any noise outside?" she asked.

The Jade Dragon City is now a mixed bag, and my brother has sent people out to investigate.

"No, there's a curfew in Kyoto after 7 PM. The envoys from those countries are quite quiet, and those martial arts practitioners don't dare to act too recklessly either," Li Shuang said.

Li An also said, "His Highness the Crown Prince is the heir apparent of the country and a disciple of the Kunlun Sect. They'll have to think twice before they try to cause trouble."

Just then, Granny Feng had a small box brought in.

"Princess, your wedding dress is ready. It was made to your measurements."

"Granny, the princess sent us over to try on her wedding dress. It's perfect that you've brought it over now." Li Shuang stepped forward and took the box.

"I'll try this one on first!" Nangong Wu stood up, opened the box that Beichen Yan had sent last night, and saw a magnificent phoenix crown on top.

"This is a phoenix crown."

Li Shuang and Li An both came over.

Looking at the beautiful phoenix crown and the exquisitely embroidered wedding dress with gold and silver threads, they immediately understood.

"Princess, did His Highness the Crown Prince send this to you specially?" Li Shuang asked.

Only the embroiderers in the palace could possess such exquisite skills.

"Mm." Nangong Wu nodded.

"Your Highness, what a beautiful phoenix crown." Li Shuang carefully took out the phoenix crown first.

"This is a nine-phoenix crown with four phoenixes; only the crown princess of the country can wear it," Granny Feng told them.

"For the Crown Prince's wedding, the Crown Princess's wedding dress should indeed be made by the inner court according to etiquette and then sent along with the betrothal gifts."

But when this old servant saw that the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe were not among the betrothal gifts sent by the Crown Prince, I assumed that they had not been prepared for the Princess, so I brought the wedding dress that had been prepared beforehand!

"If it wasn't in the betrothal gifts, then His Highness the Crown Prince wants to give it to the Princess personally," Li Shuang said with a smile.

Upon closer inspection, Nangong Wu saw that the Nine-Phoenix and Four-Phoenix Crown was exquisitely crafted, a masterpiece of nature.

Especially its phoenix eyes, which are very lively, as if they could blink. The phoenix's beak holds a red teardrop gem, which is very eye-catching and sways with people's movements.

"She is indeed beautiful." Nangong Wu felt a little more favorably disposed towards Bei Chenyan.

She had seen the nine-phoenix crown worn by Nangong Chengkun's Crown Princess, but it was definitely not as beautiful as this one, which showed that Bei Chenyan had put a lot of effort into preparing their wedding.

Li Shuang held the phoenix crown, and the group admired it for a while before carefully placing it on the bed and taking out the red wedding dress from inside.

This is a complete wedding dress, including an outer robe, a shawl, a cloud-shaped shoulder cape, and a horse-face skirt.

Li Shuang and Li An first opened their outer robes.

In an instant, the room was filled with light. The wedding dress was dazzlingly red, and the patterns outlined on the phoenix robe with gold and silver threads shimmered and shone.

"It's so beautiful." Granny Feng couldn't help but touch the fabric. "It's truly worthy of being called Yun brocade, which is worth its weight in gold. It's smooth to the touch but not flimsy, and the embroidery is exquisite. This is the best wedding dress I've ever seen."

"Granny Feng, I think this is such exquisite craftsmanship, it probably won't be finished in a short time, will it?" Li An said.

Li Shuang nodded, "It would be impossible to make such a beautiful wedding dress without several years of hard work. His Highness the Crown Prince must have been preparing it for a long time."
