He had woken up that morning in Meishan’s arms, free from the pain in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he had almost decided to forget everything and simply distract his husband by finishing what they had started the night before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their wedding night had already been interrupted by: Yan Wuhen, the strange demonic energy and the sudden pain in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pursed his lips at the thought. He just wanted to run away into the mountains with Lan Meishan and live quietly away from innocent beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, instead of killing Madam Qin and drawing even more attention to himself, thus attracting even more bounty hunters or worse like Lan Yunlai, he had chosen the peaceful approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a married man now. The raw anger he’d felt that night in the water city’s lower district had settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he still needed to figure out what exactly was wrong with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest pains. The strange dreams about the crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t had another dream since the one on the ship, but that didn’t comfort him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially not after the pain he had suffered the night before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t like this,\" Meishan said suddenly. \"I should come with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan sighed. \"The assassins using those demonic tools already exposed that Madam Qin is working with your father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan nodded slowly. \"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked troubled. \"Many beasts have begun practicing both demonic cultivation and beast cultivation at the same time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression darkened a bit. \"The corruption is killing many of them... but some are actually succeeding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at Ningyan again. \"And regardless of that, I still need to protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice softened. \"I know you’re afraid that the other me might appear... but I’m still capable of protecting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan pressed his lips together. \"I just want to propose—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\" A voice suddenly echoed from the compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly grabbed the top of the fence, his legs dangling as he flattened himself against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Meishan immediately stepped closer, positioning himself beneath Ningyan in case he fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s wolf ears twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two servants were hurrying toward each other nearby, both looking tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you seen Su Nianci?\" the first servant asked anxiously. \"I went to her chamber, but she’s not there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" the second servant replied in alarm. \"Where would she go on her name day? There are so many guests waiting to see her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first servant looked panicked. \"Madam Qin is going to have my head!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Nianci’s name day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s eyes widened. He suddenly lost his grip on the fence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lan Meishan immediately caught him in a perfect bridal carry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan blinked. Then he burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrapping his arms around Meishan’s neck, he kicked his feet playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, my sweet husband,\" he teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he leaned forward and kissed Meishan on the cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan’s entire face turned bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems today is Su Nianci’s name day,\" Ningyan said softly, his breath brushing against Meishan’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he dramatically threw his head back, staring up at the bright blue sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Qin Linhua had four children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mingze. Su Hengyue. Su Qiyuan. And Su Nianci.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mingze was about a year older than Ningyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hengyue and Su Qiyuan were the same age as Ningyan, though both had been born earlier in the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Nianci, meanwhile, was about a year younger than all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There really wasn’t much difference between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Su Hengyue and Su Qiyuan who had broken Ningyan’s beast core in the original plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely enough, those two brothers had barely been mentioned in the novel until the moment when Su Ningyan wiped out the entire Phoenix Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, the story had always focused more on Su Mingze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this made Ningyan uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like he was slowly sinking deeper into the original plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except now the story had been completely scrambled. Nothing was unfolding the way it had in the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Nianci...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" Meishan suddenly cleared his throat, blinking rapidly. \"I can sense Yan Wuhen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s eyes widened. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My brother as well,\" Lan Meishan added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully placed Ningyan back on his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stood there, trying to process the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Shiyu’s presence made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wuhen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that why he was here? To attend Su Nianci’s name day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On second thought,\" Ningyan suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward Meishan and grabbed his face with both hands, squishing his cheeks together. \"I need you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Meishan blinked slowly but nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan took a deep breath. \"I need you to act as a distraction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke quickly now. \"Wuhen will definitely notice you, and he’ll immediately assume I’m nearby. So while you keep them busy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s eyes gleamed mischievously. \"I’ll find Su Nianci and abduct her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan blinked in surprise. But after a moment, he nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan grinned, clearly pleased with his plan. \"She’s Madam Qin’s only daughter and her youngest child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged. \"She loves that girl more than anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his expression turned cold. \"But Su Nianci is just as awful as her mother, so I don’t feel bad about it. She’s our bargaining chip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands together once. \"So let’s do this smoothly, okay? And don’t let Lan Shiyu provoke you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan pressed his lips together. \"I’m glad you chose this path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan smiled. \"It might not work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true,\" Meishan said calmly. \"But it’s admirable that you chose not to spill blood... even though you were ready to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan chuckled. \"Oh, I’ll spill blood if she refuses, dear husband.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin turned mischievous. \"Think of this negotiation as a chance for Madam Qin Linhua. I don’t care if I have to wipe out the entire clan if she refuses to have the bounty dissolved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Meishan blinked at him in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan released his face and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stretched his arms lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So...\" He glanced over his shoulder. \"Shall we begin, dear husband?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1126,"2026-06-06T15:58:25.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","97ef580fde471484100c0a3d6c4fe58a85a2dccdb9677de7682abee82d7f7460","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-125","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-123",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
