He had not expected to see him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peacock beast stood across the chamber, his bearing as elegant as before.

His gaze lingered on the phoenix carving, sharp and assessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I do not recognize this formation,\" he said at last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan exhaled slowly, tension settling into his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But one thing is clear,\" Haoxuan continued, voice low. \"Whoever set this... knows of you. And they intended to draw you in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan rubbed the back of his neck, brows faintly drawn. \"I know. It was reckless.\" He paused. \"But I need to know whether they pose a threat to me... or to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice softened. \"To our family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Haoxuan’s golden, reptilian eyes gentled at that. \"...Yan’er.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned in and pressed a brief kiss to Ningyan’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan flushed, caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Haoxuan pulled back, his tone had steadied. \"We can leave Fire City, if you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan shook his head. \"Not tonight. We’ll leave tomorrow. There’s no need to alarm the children.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haoxuan inclined his head in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, Yan Wuhen stood unmoving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze remained focused on the phoenix carving, his eyes narrowed as though tracing something unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he said nothing as he walked out with Ningyan and Haoxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>^°^\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they returned to the manor, Lan Meishan and Rong Yue had already settled the children to rest. The halls had quieted, the earlier warmth dimmed into dead calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the main sleeping chamber, Yan Wuhen sat at the center of the room in meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nine tails fanned out behind him, swaying slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint red-gold glow circled his body, steady and controlled, like a quiet flame that refused to extinguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past two months, Wuhen had stepped into the Divine Beast stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breakthrough came quietly. It had always been quite inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue sat by the window, idly sipping wine, his posture relaxed yet attentive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bed, Ningyan lay with his head resting on Lan Meishan’s lap, while Jun Haoxuan slept soundly at his side, his breathing slow and even.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between Ningyan’s fingers, the phoenix feather glowed faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had become a habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching it.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan’s fingers moved gently through his hair, unhurried. His gaze lingered on the feather, its soft light reflecting in his emerald eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long do you intend to keep staring at that, Yan’er?\" he asked quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan did not look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m thinking about the formation,\" he said. \"If they knew I was following them, then they wanted me to find it. They knew I would notice the carving... and pick it up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan fell silent for a moment, his expression turning thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It did resemble phoenix techniques,\" he said at last. \"During the battle with Lan Yunlai, you imitated my spatial technique but this is different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers paused briefly in Ningyan’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is more precise. Not meant for simple movement... but for guiding their own kind. Drawing them to a fixed point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They want me to come to them,\" he murmured and frowned deeply. \"Then why conceal themselves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue lowered his cup, his gaze flickering toward Ningyan. \"Because they do not trust you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stared at him. \"What did I do to them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue licked the trace of wine from his lips before continuing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Centuries ago, it was the other divine beast clans who turned on the phoenix. And now, you stand bound to all four.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint scoff left Ningyan’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feather dissolved into his essence, its glow fading from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yet...\" he muttered, turning his head and burying his face against Meishan’s abdomen, \"when I was being hunted by madam Qin, none of them came looking for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice softened, edged with quiet displeasure. \"I do not trust them either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to, Yan’er,\" Meishan’s fingers resumed its gentle rhythm in Ningyan’s hair, slower this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan closed his eyes. \"Mmmh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1074,"2026-06-06T15:58:25.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","81279311bbcdef2e8fa1a3da1b5602566fc8404fa8fe109576a0321ecee6a51a","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-211","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-209",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
