Until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the feather stirred, Ningyan moved. A shadow slipping through the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He landed lightly atop the manor roof, already cloaked in his illusion mask as a tiger beastman. Without hesitation, he leapt down and vanished into the bustling streets below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire City was alive as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lanterns swayed in the warm night air, music spilled from every corner, and fireworks bloomed endlessly across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan kept his pace, his senses honing to a point. His world narrowed to a single thread, the faint pull guiding him forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed a thread of qi into the feather hidden within his robes, letting it resonate as he moved through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, the pull grew clearer, until he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ordinary inn stood before him. Yet the feather burned faintly against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan took a step and stopped as he felt two presences nearby. He recognized them immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What do you think you are doing, Ningyan?\" Jun Haoxuan’s voice was calm, but it carried weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief, absurd moment, he truly did feel like he had been caught sneaking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this ’Ningyan’ you speak of?\" he replied lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would recognize that illusion mask anywhere, Yan’er. And that sweet scent....\" Yan Wuhen’s voice followed, threaded with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan exhaled, the tension slipping into mild frustration. He turned at last, lifting a hand toward his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to remove it,\" Jun Haoxuan said, stopping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden gaze rested steadily on Ningyan. \"We only want to know why you left without a word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen shot him a look. \"We? Speak for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan huffed a quiet laugh despite himself. \"There are phoenixes in that inn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured subtly toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both beasts followed his gaze, interest sharpening instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence lingered for a breath before their attention returned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wore the mask for a reason. I intend to remain unnoticed.\" Ningyan adjusted his sleeve, his voice lowering. \"None of you... are subtle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen’s lips curved at once. \"Then I’ll simply have to be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped closer, eyes gleaming with mischief. \"I’ll come with you. In disguise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan drew in a slow breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay here,\" he said quietly. \"If I call out, you’ll know something is wrong. I’ll send a signal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan did not look convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Wuhen, on the other hand, had already wandered off toward a nearby fruit stall, as though the matter did not concern him in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan held Haoxuan’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, neither spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Jun Haoxuan let out a long reluctant but yielding sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s lips curved faintly. He turned without another word and stepped toward the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he crossed the threshold, and vanished from sight, Yan Wuhen reappeared at Jun Haoxuan’s side, lazily biting into a spirit fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are three divine beasts inside,\" he said between bites. \"And one saint beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan’s golden eyes narrowed, fixed on the building. \"...I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>^\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the atmosphere shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise of the streets dulled, replaced by a quieter, more contained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A staff member approached at once, all smiles and practiced courtesy. \"Welcome, honored guest. Will you be dining, or staying the night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Staying,\" Ningyan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He passed over a small pouch of spirit crystals without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff’s smile deepened. \"This way, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved through the inner hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan followed in silence, his hand pressing lightly against his chest, over the feather concealed within his robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started out as a faint pulse, but then it grew stronger. Each step sharpened the sensation, until it was no longer subtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was calling to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed one door and Ningyan stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff, unaware, continued forward, even turning the corner before realizing his guest was no longer behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan did not move. His gaze remained on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he stepped closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a steady breath, he pushed it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The presence was clear now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he went into the room, prepared for what was inside, but the chamber was completely empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh...? Ningyan stood still, his brows knitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he lifted a hand and removed his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger beastman form melted away like mist, revealing his true features as he suppressed his aura to its lowest trace. The chamber fell into a strange, hollow quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, as his hand pressed against his chest, the feather burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can still feel it...\" he murmured, confusion deepening. \"Are they... invisible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved further in, steps measured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across the room before settling on a display shelf, lined with small carved figures of beasts arranged in careful order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lion beast, a tortoise beast, a nine-tailed fox, a dragon, a tiger, a serpent, and a phoenix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every carving stood in perfect alignment, except one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phoenix figure carving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been pushed slightly forward... it looked out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Has this been touched?\" He reached out and picked it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his fingers closed around it, a burst of power erupted beneath his feet and a blazing gold formation flared to life like fire given shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It burst upward in a pillar of light, swallowing him whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s breath hitched as space twisted. His body began to dissolve into the pull, and then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ningyan!\" Yan Wuhen’s voice cut through the distortion and seized his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-gold energy exploded outward as Wuhen forced his power against the formation, resisting the pull of the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash of forces trembled through the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Break—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan reacted instantly, dropping the carving back into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formation shattered. The golden light collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen pulled him back sharply, drawing him into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan exhaled, breath uneven. \"That... was close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen’s hold tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to be more careful, Yan’er,\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry.\" Ningyan sighed, resting briefly against him. \"I didn’t expect a spatial trap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen clicked his tongue softly, but loosened his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan entered the chamber and he was not alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure followed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognition struck instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pointed at each other at the same time. \"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan scoffed under his breath, straightening. \"Tang Ruifeng?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1083,"2026-06-06T15:58:25.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","7226a8e65823c76253ff009677fe115bd65e2c9aeb5b70a550dadaad0d896741","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-210","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-208",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
