The air was bitterly cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his wrist burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His steps slowed. Then stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tightness around his wrist sharpened suddenly violent and suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Wuhen lowered his gaze just as the spirit mate chain manifested, coiling tightly around his wrist and fist, glowing faintly in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fox eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s gone,\" he said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chain pulsed once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s been gone for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chain dissolved, vanishing into his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to his guards, who immediately bowed their heads, rigid with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find out what happened to Su Ningyan,\" he ordered calmly. \"Report back immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Your Highness,\" they answered in unison, already moving vanishing down the path in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Wuhen didn’t wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned away and followed the invisible pull of the bond. The faint but unmistakable stretch of the spirit mate chain drawing him forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the academy grounds. Into the Drift Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night had fully fallen by the time he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain that even if Ningyan had been close to death, he must have recovered slightly by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between them had shortened. But this distance also meant that someone had taken him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he moved deeper into the forest, a faint scent reached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Wuhen halted, his brows lifting in faint surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard rumors of human cultivators hiding within the Drift Forest but this scent was fresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden presence flared behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Wuhen dodged instinctively, slipping aside as a strike sliced through where his head had been a moment before. He chuckled softly as he turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue stood there, glaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pleasant surprise,\" Wuhen said lazily, narrowing his eyes. \"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue studied him coolly. \"I was about to ask you the same. Though I suppose we’re both looking for someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen stepped closer, his grin sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look nice, Yue’er,\" he drawled. \"But if I find out you had anything to do with my missing pet—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile thinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—I’ll ruin your face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue scoffed. \"Always with the threats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened slightly at Wuhen’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nothing. Simply brushed past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the clearing opened before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead bodies littered the forest floor, human cultivators, torn apart. Blood soaked into the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the side, Ningyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His back was pressed against a tree, blood smeared beneath his nose, fear sharp and raw in his scent. He different from anything Wuhen had ever tasted from him before. He didn’t like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chen loomed over him, murderous intent blazing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wretched—\" he snarled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t do that if I were you.\" Wuhen’s voice was dead calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rong Chen!\" Rong Yue barked sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards dropped to their knees instantly, foreheads pressed to the forest floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chen staggered back, shock draining the color from his face. \"Brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen didn’t spare them a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went straight to Ningyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan smiled faintly when he saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That smile made something twist painfully in Wuhen’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re here,\" Ningyan croaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Wuhen notice the dried blood at Ningyan’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He released Ningyan gently and turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, one of the guards lunged forward in panic. \"Your Highness, look out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen’s hand was already inside the man’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tore out the beating heart and tossed it aside as the body collapsed soundlessly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence swallowed the clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen stood before Rong Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue at his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuhen, stop. I will handle this.\" Rong Yue’s growl was sharp, commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yan Wuhen was already moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand closed around Rong Chen’s throat, lifting him cleanly off the ground. Rong Chen choked, claws scrabbling uselessly at Wuhen’s wrist as his feet kicked helplessly in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen’s grip tightened, claws digging into flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you kill him?\" he asked calmly, glancing back at Rong Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue said nothing. Only frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his attention back to the tiger beast struggling in his grasp, whose movements were already slowing from lack of air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" he murmured. \"He hurt what is mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chen’s eyes widened in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now,\" Wuhen continued softly, \"he pays the consequences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tightened his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue exhaled slowly, rubbing his temple. \"Wuhen. Stop. I will handle this. If you kill him, there will be consequences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen’s jaw clenched. His eyes burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There should have been consequences for his actions too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize on his behalf,\" Rong Yue said tightly. \"I will handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long, dangerous moment, Wuhen didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he flung Rong Chen aside like discarded cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger beast crashed into the ground, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuhen shot Rong Yue a glare, his red-gold eyes glowing ominously, then glanced once at the remaining pale, trembling guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned away, straight to Ningyan and scooped him up effortlessly, cradling him against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan was too exhausted to protest. Too drained to speak. His gaze drifted to Rong Yue, who was watching them with quiet, unsettling curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue clasped his hands together and bowed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize on my brother’s behalf,\" he said. \"I would have come sooner, but I was far away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s eyes widened. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue chuckled softly. \"Rong Chao alerted me. Fortunately, I was already on my way back to the academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan pressed his lips together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was he being so... composed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t how Rong Yue was supposed to be. In the novel, his temper was infamous. Violent. Unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, the way he was looking at Ningyan now made his skin prickle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his face... At his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan swallowed hard and turned his face away, burying it against Wuhen’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take me away from here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gladly,\" Wuhen murmured. \"Beloved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and walked away without sparing Rong Yue another glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan almost screamed. Because he had figured it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue could see the spirit mate chain wrapped around Ningyan’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how it was connected to Yan Wuhen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-06T15:58:24.904Z",1,"novelbin.me","c00501327909ee6a9a10ffce67acf6ece48d53db12106c1a538777941b0eb5f7","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-23","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-21",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
