It pressed in on him thickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his own heartbeat sounded loud in his ears. Fast and uneven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he scared?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...He couldn’t tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he kept moving anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked chamber after chamber. Empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main hall was in the direction Yan Wuhen had gone. So Ningyan went the opposite way until he reached the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place... he was thrown in here the day he woke up in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day he met Wuhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lanterns flickered along the stone walls, casting dim, uneven light. It was enough to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stepped closer to one of the lanterns. And then something prickled at the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body stilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was behind him. Close... Getting closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t turn. Not yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two... Closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spun, eyes blazing vivid purple, hand already raised only for his wrist to be caught mid-motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan froze. Familiar golden reptilian eyes met his. His pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Jun Haoxuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Ningyan?\" Haoxuan looked just as surprised for a split second before it vanished. He released Ningyan’s wrist slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t step back. Instead he stared straight through him like he was peeling him apart layer by layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dragon crystal,\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he reached up and removed the illusion mask. His form shifted back. No ears. No tail. Just him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan stepped closer. \"I wasn’t expecting,\" he said, voice edged with something dark, \"that you’d come to me this quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam Qin... Her children...\" Ningyan swallowed. Hard. \"...You killed them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan raised a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" he said simply. \"They deserved it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bothersome creatures,\" he continued. \"They were working for Lan Yunlai. His supporters have grown bold, invading dragon territory as if there are no consequences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze sharpened slightly. \"There are even dragons among them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked disgusted. \"My father has already declared it that any beast aiding those who cultivate demon qi will be executed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ningyan frowned. \"But you’re here for the crystal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan’s eyes settled fully on him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I tracked it here to the phoenix clan. To you,\" he said. Then his gaze darkened. \"But I didn’t expect...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his hand, reaching toward Ningyan’s chest...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>smack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan slapped it away instantly. \"Don’t.\" His voice was sharp and defensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan exhaled slowly. A thin thread of restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, Ningyan,\" he said. \"You are Shenzhen’s friend. I have no intention of hurting you. You are also Yunyi’s—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t.\" Ningyan’s voice cut through him coldly. \"Do not mention that name to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan looked genuinely surprised. \"...What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his expression hardened. \"You don’t get to speak to me like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice lost its restraint. \"I brought you into my home. I let you reunite with your family. I even helped you with that assassin’s information—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed. \"And this is how you repay me? By stealing from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s breath hitched. \"Wait.. no, I didn’t steal—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t get to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan’s hand shot out, his fingers wrapping around Ningyan’s throat and slammed him back against the wall. Hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lantern beside them flickered violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan leaned in, golden reptilian eyes blazing now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was cleaning up the mess I made,\" he said, voice low and furious. \"Before you decided to walk straight to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip tightened. Not enough to kill. But enough to remind. \"And now that you’re here, you will not stand in front of me and pretend to be the victim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice dropped further. \"Do you even understand what the dragon crystal is? Do you know what it’s worth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes locked onto Ningyan’s. \"You stole it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan trembled under the pressure of his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not just rage in those golden eyes. There was something else. It looked like fear ...and something dangerously close to hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan shook his head quickly, fingers tightening around Haoxuan’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t...\" he rasped. \"I didn’t steal it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan’s gaze hardened. \"I do not believe you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something in Ningyan snapped. His eyes flared vivid purple, burning. \"You don’t believe me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip tightened. \"You think I’ll just stand here and let you accuse me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice rose, sharp with anger. \"I didn’t even know the dragon crystal existed until last night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struck. Slapping Haoxuan’s hand away, breaking the hold on his throat and immediately a surge of ominous purple energy burst from his palm slamming straight into Haoxuan’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan was sent flying. His back crashed into the dungeon wall, stone cracking on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stood there, breathing hard. Chest rising. Power still flickering faintly around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he started walking forward. Step by step. Anger simmering under his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m done letting people walk over me,\" he said coldly. \"And that includes you, Divine Beast Prince Jun Haoxuan. I appreciate you killing them. I truly do. But you’re not taking the crystal from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at him. Then let his hand fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back to your clan,\" he said flatly. \"And tell Yunyi.. If I see her again, I will kill her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and took a step to leave...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What do you know about the dragon crystal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stopped. Slowly, he turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan had already straightened, looking calm and composed. Dusting off his robes like nothing had happened. There was no anger, no embarrassment. Just control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you know?\" he repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan frowned. \"Meishan told me it helps with cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan exhaled slowly, rubbing his forehead. His fingers brushed against his left horn as a grounding motion. Then he stepped toward Ningyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you know is only half of it. And it’s the part outsiders are allowed to know.\" His gaze sharpened. \"You know nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ningyan could react, Haoxuan moved. His hand shot out, slamming Ningyan’s chest and a surge of blue energy exploded outward, swallowing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were no longer in the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood in the void. Facing the pulsing purple crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan froze. \"...Gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan blinked rapidly, disoriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What—\" he looked around. \"How are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan didn’t answer immediately. His eyes were locked onto the crystal. Something like disbelief, like horror, flickering through them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dragon crystal,\" he said slowly, \"is a sacred heirloom of the Jun family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was steadier now. Controlled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a fragment of a divine core, yes. It amplifies power. It allows transcendence. But that is not why we guard it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally looked at Ningyan. \"It is passed down from generation to generation. Father to heir. Or... to their other half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stilled. \"....Other half?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan stepped closer. \"As the heir to the Azure dragon clan, the crystal is given to the one I want to claim. It is placed within them. To protect them. To bind them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze darkened slightly. \"It is not just power. It is a union.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan’s eyes flicked back to the crystal. His jaw tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The blue core...\" he murmured, \"is a mirror of my qi. My existence. And now—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Ningyan again. Something unsettled in his expression. \"It’s within you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s heart pounded. \"That doesn’t—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It protected you,\" Haoxuan cut in. \"And it has done something it has never done before. It fused with your soul. Which means you are bound to me for eternity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1231,"2026-06-06T15:58:25.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","77ffe90e7318fd31c0b22ae5771de337ebebbdd9e68cf6648bd9770c9b2d22c8","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-139","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-137",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
