Overlapping voices filled the space with light conversation and quiet laughter, creating a rare sense of ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Jun family was present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan sat at the head, composed as always. Beside him were the others, his parents in attendance, along with An Moshang, Yan Wuhen, and Rong Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one seat remained empty. Lan Meishan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan didn’t look at it. Not even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the children were brought in, the atmosphere was brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious eyes turned toward them, filled with warmth and acceptance rather than scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were welcomed without hesitation, drawn into the gathering as if they had always belonged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan found himself barely eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attention stayed on them. On the way they hesitated at first, then slowly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Sheng and Jun Li had already taken it upon themselves to close the distance, their excitement impossible to contain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hai Miao’s hazel serpent eyes shimmered as he laughed, his shoulders shaking as Jun Li tickled him mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was... warm. So warm it almost hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you keep staring like that,\" Wuhen murmured near his ear, \"people might think I’m the one who got you pregnant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Rong Yue choked on his wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan lowered his head at once, pretending to focus very seriously on his food as heat rushed to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan shot Wuhen with a flat look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen only grinned, completely unrepentant, his fangs flashing as his tails swayed lazily behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan cleared his throat and continued eating as if nothing had happened, even as two of Wuhen’s tails curled into his space and brushed against him in quiet mischief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored it. Mostly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Xiao Mian a phoenix?\" Jun Haoxuan’s voice cut cleanly through the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan looked up, a small spark lighting his expression. \"You noticed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan inclined his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She remembers her parents,\" Ningyan added, softer now. \"But... they’re gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan’s expression immediately turned thoughtful. \"You should give her your name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan blinked. \"...Su?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan smiled. \"The phoenix clans are scattered. Hidden.\" His gaze flicked briefly toward the children. \"But you found one. Took her in. It’s only natural.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan nodded slowly, unable to stop the small smile that spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Wuhen’s tail flicked up, brushing lightly against his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan didn’t even react this time. He was still thinking, still deciding, until the realization finally struck him. It wasn’t just Yue Mian; it was all of them. They were his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decision settled quietly but firmly, staying with him long after the dinner ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>^°^\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later that night, the rain fell softly outside as Ningyan made his way to Jun Li’s chamber. He wasn’t alone; Jun Haoxuan, Rong Yue, and Jun Shanyuan followed him without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the sight that greeted them was enough to still everyone. The children had fallen asleep together carelessly, limbs tangled and blankets half-kicked away, scattered across the bed as if they had claimed the entire space for their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet chuckle broke the silence. \"It seems they’re getting along well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Shanyuan stepped forward, her voice soft as she gently lifted Jun Sheng into her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one disagreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan ended up carrying Su Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue took Su Ruo. Jun Haoxuan carried Su Mian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved quietly through the palace, each child placed carefully into their chambers, blankets adjusted, warmth secured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when everything settled did Ningyan finally step away. His path led him somewhere else, to Lan Meishan’s chamber. He pushed the door open to find it empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint unease settled in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he felt a familiar presence. It was Yan Wuhen, coming from the bathing chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan followed it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, steam lingered faintly over the surface of the pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen crouched near the water, his red-gold eyes reflecting something beneath the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan frowned. \"What are you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words died instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a body in the water, a massive grey-scaled serpent beast that had been torn apart violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan inhaled sharply. \"...Heavens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen glanced back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was a battle,\" he said simply, rising to his feet. \"This beast didn’t come here by accident. Meishan killed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan exhaled slowly and stepped closer, then, without a word, wrapped his arms around Wuhen and rested his head against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen didn’t hesitate. His arms came around him immediately, holding him close, his tails shifting lazily behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Using me for comfort?\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan didn’t lift his head. \"What if I am?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen chuckled softly, the sound low and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re allowed,\" he said. \"Anytime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand moved through Ningyan’s hair, slow and absent-minded, while his gaze flicked back to the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was too quiet,\" he added. \"We didn’t sense anything. And there’s no demonic aura.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan followed his gaze. \"Tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen’s ears twitched. \"Tomorrow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan lifted his head, just enough to look at him. \"Let’s end it. Lan Yunlai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen’s lips curved. \"And after that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint in his eyes. \"Will we finally get married?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan huffed a quiet laugh, letting his head fall back against Wuhen’s chest. \"Yes. After that.... we will get married.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen seemed entirely satisfied with that answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...And Rong Yue?\" he added after a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan froze but he didn’t pull away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know,\" he admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen didn’t press. They stayed like that for a while, just breathing and existing, until Ningyan shifted. His hand lifted to brush lightly against Wuhen’s cheek in a silent pull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen leaned in, crashing their lips together in a hungry, devouring kiss. He clutched Ningyan as if for dear life, while Ningyan gripped Wuhen’s shoulders to steady them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen controlled the rhythm with a smooth, desperate intensity that made Ningyan shudder; the heat of the bathing pool seeped into his skin, blurring the line between the water and the beast prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wuhen finally broke away to trail slow, drawling kisses along Ningyan’s neck and up toward his jawline, Ningyan let out a shaky breath. \"Not here,\" he managed, his voice strained. \"Not in front of a corpse, Wuhen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\" Wuhen breathed against his skin, his grip remaining tight, refusing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am aware, Yan’er,\" He moved his lips back to claim Ningyan’s once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, an emerald portal materialized beneath their feet, swallowing them whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It burst outward, expanding until the light consumed the water and the mangled serpent, whisking everything away in a heartbeat. Before they could even draw breath, the damp heat of the bathing chamber was gone, replaced by the shadows of a forest.\u003C\u002Fp>",1118,"2026-06-06T15:58:25.183Z",1,"novelbin.me","44648424dcd667a39b5f224216703d7fb3498b295a17716e1a9ee74106e000f6","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-197","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-87",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
