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

"Wuwu, I've come to pick you up." Bei Chenyan strode into the lobby, with Qiao Xiangqing and the three children following behind him.

When he saw Nangong Wu's stunningly beautiful face, he was clearly stunned.

He had known Nangong Wu for five years, and this was the first time he had seen her wearing makeup.

At first, she had scars on her face and looked ugly.

More than half a year later, the scars on her face healed, and she regained her original appearance, with delicate features and became very beautiful.

His physique and looks perfectly match his aesthetic preferences.

It was then that he realized that a woman could be so beautiful without makeup. No! He felt that her beauty was natural, and she didn't need any cosmetics to modify or cover it up.

He wasn't one to judge a book by its cover, but this woman seemed to possess a mysterious power that constantly drew him in.

This has nothing to do with the secrets she possesses or the powerful weapons she wields.

She possessed a cool and aloof temperament, quite different from other women. She had an air of domineering confidence, a fierce determination that would never yield or bow down, even in the face of death.

Few men in the world can match her imposing presence and powerful aura.

Now she is in a different state, wearing the heavy makeup of a bride, with slightly upturned eyebrows like a sharp sword about to be drawn, and her gently upturned eyes exuding an air of pride and independence, which complements the gorgeous phoenix robe she is wearing.

Her tall figure and perfect curves accentuate her slender figure.

Beautiful, alluring, and dazzling, this added a touch of seductive charm to her originally aloof temperament, like a red rose in full bloom, reflecting the sunlight, exuding a fatal allure.

Only now did he realize what "peerless beauty" truly meant; these four words perfectly embodied the essence of Nangong Wu.

This woman truly embodies beauty, wisdom, courage, and strategy; she is a born queen!

"Wow! Sister-in-law is so beautiful." Qiao Xiangqing was also amazed by Nangong Wu's makeup today.

"Father, hurry and take Mother away!" Nangong Xi grabbed his hand and shook it several times before he came to his senses and realized that he had been staring blankly at Nangong Wu's face.

"Cough cough cough..." Nangong Xiao coughed a few times.

"Hahaha……"

A burst of good-natured laughter rang out from around them.

"The princess is so beautiful today. Look, she has even captivated His Highness the Crown Prince. He's almost lost his soul."

"The princess is so beautiful that not only His Highness the Crown Prince, but we women are all captivated by her."

"Mommy is so beautiful!" Nangong Xi clapped her little hands.

The children thought their mother looked beautiful when they saw her dressed like this for the first time.

"Hmm." Nangong Wu looked at the three children.

Nangong Yu and Nangong Jue were both wearing the same red robes as Bei Chenyan, made of the finest brocade. Nangong Xi was also wearing a red dress. The father and sons looked exactly alike, as beautiful as porcelain dolls.

"Fifth Senior Brother, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take your sister-in-law away!" Qiao Xiangqing pushed Bei Chenyan.

Bei Chenyan's ears turned slightly red as he stood next to Nangong Wu. "Wu Wu, let's bid farewell to our father-in-law together."

Nangong Wu nodded slightly.

The two of them clasped their hands together and bowed deeply to Huo Jing.

Huo Jing stood up, pulled them up, and placed Nangong Wu's hand in Bei Chenyan's palm.

"From now on, I entrust Wuwu to you. I hope you two will love each other and grow old together."

"Father-in-law, rest assured, Wu Wu is the love of my life. She is more important than my own life. I swear here and now that I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance," Bei Chenyan assured him.

"Go on! Today is your big day, don't miss the auspicious time." Huo Jing waved to them.

Bei Chenyan turned around and respectfully bowed to Nangong Xiao, saying, "Greetings, elder brother!"

"Get up." Nangong Xiao helped him up. "Remember what you just said to your father."

"Yuan Jin understands," Bei Chenyan assured him.

"Let's go! You still have to circle the city, and it's getting late." Nangong Xiao said, and was about to carry Nangong Wu on his back again.

Bei Chenyan, however, was one step ahead of him and picked Nangong Wu up in his arms. "Brother, from now on, I will protect Wuwu."

An official in charge of ceremonies hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this is improper; we mustn't break the rules!"

As the crown prince, he should not personally come to fetch his bride on her wedding day. Even if he makes an exception to show respect for the bride, he should at most wait outside the mansion gate for the bride to be carried out by her family.

But His Highness the Crown Prince not only came in person, but also ran into the mansion to take away the bride, which is completely against the rules.

"What do you mean by illogical? I am the rule." After saying that, Bei Chenyan strode out of the main hall, with their three children following closely behind.

"Crackling, crackling..."

Firecrackers were going off constantly outside the mansion gate, along with the sounds of drums and royal wind instruments.

Upon exiting the mansion gate, Nangong Wu saw an enormous prince's carriage parked outside, pulled by four horses.

The palanquin was open on all four sides, with red gauze curtains adorned with jewels hanging down on all four sides. It had a gilded bronze jeweled canopy with upturned corners and dragon patterns printed on it. The various jewel decorations made it luxurious and magnificent.

There were many onlookers, and soldiers on both sides of the street maintained order at a distance. There were also palace guards keeping a close eye on the surrounding situation.

Upon seeing His Highness the Crown Prince carrying his bride out, Fang Jianxian immediately shouted to the onlookers:

"Kneel down, all of you kneel down."

They all knew that people from Changyang Temple and the Snake Spirit Society might appear and force the people to kneel down, so that the assassins mixed in among them could make their move.

The people knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live His Highness the Crown Prince! Long live Her Majesty the Crown Princess!"

"Bang bang bang—"

A series of salutes were fired.

The band played in unison.

Bei Chenyan carried Nangong Wu onto the palanquin and placed her on the seat.

Nangong Xiao and Nangong Hong, along with Qiao Xiangqing, came out and carried the three children up as well.

There were two rows of seats in the carriage, and three children sat in front of them.

"Father, why aren't you wearing a big red flower like Uncle Qi today? And why isn't Mother wearing a red veil?" Nangong Xi asked.

"Silly Xi'er, what's so good about a grown man wearing a big red flower? It's hideous," Nangong Jue said disdainfully.

"We should wear the same clothes as Father. That's what looks good." Nangong Yu straightened his clothes and sat up straight.

The style of clothes they are wearing today is the same as their father's wedding robe.

Bei Chenyan patted his daughter's head. "Because your father is the crown prince, he doesn't need to wear that thing. Your mother is the crown princess, so she doesn't need to wear a red veil either."

Hearing his words, Nangong Xi blinked her big eyes and thought for a moment, "Xi'er understands! Because Father and Mother are not ordinary people."

"Oh, right!" Bei Chenyan said with a smile.

After the family of five were all seated, Cao Li also got in and sat in the driver's seat.

"Let's go!"

As the master of ceremonies announced the order, the imperial carriage slowly moved forward.

The procession was led by an honor guard, some of whom were beating gongs, others were holding signs that read "Keep Out" or "Silence," and still others were carrying colorful flags, including dragon and phoenix flags.

Sixty imperial guards rode in front of the imperial carriage.
