I almost forgot, you two are—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden, ominous purple glow ignited in Ningyan’s eyes and spilled outward in a pulse, wrapping around his body like a living flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rose slowly to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movement alone was enough to make the servants retreat, unease flashing across their faces as his presence pressed against the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunyi’s breath caught. Her orange eyes widened, glassy with forming tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t spoken but it was enough. It was more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry,\" she said, her voice trembling as she stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy around him surged violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gasped and stopped immediately, unable to take another step. \"A-Yan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel it. The urge to hurt her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had said it before. That he would kill her. That he wouldn’t forgive her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now... standing in front of her... he couldn’t move. Couldn’t strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze flickered away. Landing briefly on Jun Shanyuan, who sat frozen, clearly unprepared for the weight of what she was witnessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan inhaled deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violent glow around him began to recede, drawn back into his body like a tide unwillingly retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only his cold and distant eyes remained lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought his hands together and bowed. \"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Shanyuan blinked, caught off guard. \"You don’t have to be so formal...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan straightened, a faint smile pulling at his lips. One that didn’t reach his eyes. \"I apologize for disturbing your peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze shifted back to Yunyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked like she wanted to speak. Like she was holding onto something fragile, desperate to say it before it broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under his stare.. she said nothing and simply lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan turned and walked past her. He moved close enough to feel her presence but without a single pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His robes hung loose against his body, his steps steady, his expression unreadable but the faint glow in his eyes never dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t look back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Ningyan realized it, he was already outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A narrow balcony stretched beneath his feet, its wooden railings slick with rain. Beyond it, a curved bridge arched over dark waters, leading deeper into parts of the palace he didn’t recognize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain poured relentlessly. Thunder rolled across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning split the heavens in blinding flashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire palace seemed washed in silver and shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stepped forward, the cold wind biting through his thin robes, drawing a sharp shiver from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should go back. He knew that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his mind refused to settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment replayed again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apology. The hesitation. The way he hadn’t struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly, forcing the tension down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re overreacting, he told himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always known he would see her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just hadn’t expected... this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This raw, immediate, uncontrolled. rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jun Shengyi hadn’t been there....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bit down on his lower lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have hurt her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stilled, rain soaking through his robes, clinging to his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouldn’t wander like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not after everything he had just learned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Yongri. Jun Haoxuan. The truth of the Azure Dragon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the novel, Jun Haoxuan had killed his father with book Ningyan’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easy though. Their ideologies had never aligned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the novel had been shallow. It only focused only on book Ningyan. On his rise. His choices. His end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never showed the weight. The tension. The cracks beneath power. And in the end, they had still killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan let out a quiet breath. Then, without thinking, he stepped off the corridor and into the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold water drenched him instantly, soaking through every layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His flute appeared in his hand, spinning lightly between his fingers as he walked aimlessly and restlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bridge creaked softly beneath his steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" He stopped as his gaze shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, beneath a roofed pavilion not far from the bridge, two figures stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan. And a dragon beast woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan moved immediately. Silently slipping behind a cluster of dense shrubs, crouching low as the rain masked any sound he made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stilled his breathing and watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman stood beneath an umbrella, her posture elegant, her robes rich with quiet authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan faced her.. calm and composed. Every inch the Divine Beast Prince of the azure dragon clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ningyan couldn’t hear a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, translucent blue barrier shimmered around them, distorting the rain as it fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soundproof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan narrowed his eyes slightly, fingers tightening around his flute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... A private conversation. Important enough to conceal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm....\" The cold was beginning to seep into his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s teeth nearly chattered, his soaked robes clinging to his body, rain dripping from his hair as his violet-lit gaze remained fixed on the pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the barrier shattered silently like mist dispersing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sound rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...perhaps you should come to my chamber tonight,\" the woman was saying, her tone smooth. \"I am sure it will be more... relaxing for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan blinked. Once. Twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows slowly drew together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she... did she not know he was married?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze snapped to Jun Haoxuan, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course he would refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" Jun Haoxuan said calmly. \"I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s expression fell. Completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...huh?!\" The sound slipped out before he could stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clamped a hand over his mouth, dropping instantly behind the shrubs, breath uneven as rain continued to pour over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan’s golden gaze shifted directly toward the bushes, sharpening like he had already found him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t breathe. Didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long second passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Haoxuan’s lips curved subtly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you hear that?\" the dragon beast woman asked, her tone slightly alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan didn’t look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s probably the thunder,\" he said lightly. \"You should return first. I’ll join you shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze lingered a second longer then finally moved back to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled, stepping closer, lifting her hand to his cheek in a gesture far too familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan peeked out from the bushes. And immediately frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was happening here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman turned, her robes sweeping elegantly as she descended the steps. Guards emerged almost instantly, falling in around her as she made her way back toward the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan watched until she disappeared from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze snapped back to Jun Haoxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip tightened unconsciously around his flute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts spiraled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he want other partners?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea came sharp. Uncomfortable. Hypocritical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because wasn’t he the same?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet his chest tightened anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...was he jealous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan blinked at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That didn’t make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He liked Jun Haoxuan, yes... but not like Meishan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not like Wuhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could sort it out, a deep voice cut cleanly through the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing out here, Ningyan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan stood a short distance away now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was close. Far too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain slid down his dark blue hair, his robes untouched by disorder, his golden eyes fixed entirely on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look...\" Haoxuan’s gaze dipped, slow and deliberate, taking in the way Ningyan’s soaked robes clung to his body. \"...soaked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1275,"2026-06-06T15:58:25.183Z",1,"novelbin.me","bb9563ac0403ce5c9f9e9f355ed80353c213e2e0ecb9c3fec0a0fbbdbe0ce31c","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-163","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-53",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
