Almost unnaturally so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they rent out the entire place? it wouldn’t be surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, his thoughts drifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to leave the phoenix clan soon. With Lan Meishan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something told him that Yan Wuhen wasn’t going to let that happen so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan exhaled softly and nearly bumped into someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beastwoman stepped back immediately, bowing quickly. \"I’m so sorry, young master. I didn’t see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan waved his hands at once. \"No, no.. it’s fine. Really. We’re both fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He offered her a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked. Then her face flushed red, clearly startled by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan didn’t think much of it. \"I’m looking for my husband,\" he said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze. \"...Your husband?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes lit up. \"...Which one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan blinked. \"...Which one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at her. \"How many husbands do you think I have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beastwoman’s face turned even redder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The divine beast princes,\" she blurted out. \"All three of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan: \"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re all anyone is talking about in here,\" she continued quickly, clearly excited now. \"That you’re married to all of them. You’re so lucky! they’re powerful, handsome, and you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked him over, almost in awe. \"You’re... ethereal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s lips parted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned in a little, lowering her voice. \"Is it a secret marriage? There’s no news outside. A phoenix and three divine beast princes... it sounds like a story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan took a slow step back. \"...Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression tightened. \"I am not—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you in mourning?\" she suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked him up and down, her expression shifting into concern. \"You’re dressed like... well... not quite, but... you resemble someone I’ve seen in portraits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s discomfort became obvious now as he stepped back again. \"...Why would I be in mourning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally seemed to notice his unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped moving closer. Cleared her throat and muttered something under her breath, half embarrassed, half scolding herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression turned professional. \"...My apologies. I just.. The phoenix clan leader... the manor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stilled. \"...What about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice lowered. \"...Everyone was killed last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s eyes widened. \"...What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beastwoman immediately shook her head, turning away. \"I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\" Ningyan immediately hurried forward, blocking her path. His arms spread wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t just say something like that and leave.\" He lowered his hands slowly, his breathing uneven. \"...Tell me what happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beastwoman blinked at him, clearly startled. \"I—I’m just a staff here. I only heard—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just speak.\" The frustration in his voice made her pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She studied him for a second then relented. \"...There was a battle at the clan manor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief hesitation. \"Clan Leader Qin Linhua provoked someone powerful. And... they were wiped out. All of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stood still. Completely still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ceremony has already been done,\" she added quietly. \"They were laid to rest before dawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers twitched slightly at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...He had let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So who.. Who killed them? And why... Why did he feel... relieved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows drew together faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t right. It shouldn’t feel like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was because he hadn’t done it himself. Because he hadn’t become like the original Ningyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t make it better. If anything, it made it worse. Because whoever had done this... might come for him next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Who buried them?\" he asked suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beastwoman frowned slightly, thinking. \"I heard... It was a phoenix.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at him again. \"But it’s just rumors. No one is allowed near the manor right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan exhaled slowly. \"...Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to leave, then stopped. \"...Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned back, surprised. \"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m looking for Lan Meishan.\" He gestured toward his face. \"He wears glasses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognition flashed across her expression. \"Oh! Him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled. \"He left not long ago. Said he was going to get herbs in the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ningyan exhaled slowly. So... Lan Meishan had only just left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Thank you.\" Ningyan gave a small nod before turning and heading toward the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second later, he jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind rushed past him as he dropped from the height, landing lightly on the ground below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened and glanced up at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noon. Plenty of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could go back to the manor himself and find out what exactly had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved toward the shade of a blossom tree, pacing once... twice... before stopping and leaning back against the trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking. Too much thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to avoid trouble. That much was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the rumors were true... if it really was a phoenix. His thoughts immediately went to Yunyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw tightened.No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t doing that again. No more trust. No more softness. He had learned that lesson the hard way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... What if it wasn’t a phoenix? His fingers curled slightly at his side. What if he ran into whoever killed them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill crept up his spine as a worse thought followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if... it was the Lans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I’ll go.\" He pushed himself off, turned and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine tails unfurled behind the tree like blooming flames. Then Yan Wuhen leaned out from behind the trunk, head tilted slightly, red-gold eyes gleaming with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you thinking so hard about, Yan’er?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan gasped, stumbling back a step. \"What is wrong with you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen blinked innocently. \"I was cultivating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stared at him. \"...Behind a tree? Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen smiled. \"Good scenery. Reminds me of the academy. Just a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned away with a scoff. \"Go on, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had barely taken a step when a presence closed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen was suddenly in front of him. Close. Very close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stumbled back instinctively, his spine hitting the tree behind him. Trapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen leaned in, caging him in with ease, his smile widening just enough to reveal the sharp edge of his canines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tails swayed lazily behind him. Eyes locked, studying Ningyan. \"Something is bothering you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cocked his head. \"Is it the crystal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-06T15:58:25.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","38a5a18d92c8cb03694a41e9eaf29505b5b51fd25c36e797cb2047867805e004","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-137","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-135",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
