Pale lines carved into hardened muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden hair fell freely down his back, his tiger ears flicking once in irritation as his tail swayed in a slow, measured rhythm behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive sword rested in his grasp, held casually by the hilt, its tip pressed against the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below him, Rong Chen knelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His forehead touched the ground. His shoulders shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother,\" he sobbed. \"Please. I was only trying to do what you would have done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue’s eyes narrowed. \"I would never waste my time killing humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was calm. Flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If their strongest cultivators had been present, do you think you would still be breathing right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chen lifted his head weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was swollen, one eye nearly shut, blood crusted at the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I..I was only.. You know how disgusted I am with—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With those weaker than you?\" Rong Yue tilted his head slightly. \"Yes. I’m aware.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And is that why you used a coreless phoenix as bait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chen’s breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t have cared,\" Rong Yue continued coolly. \"Not about the humans. Not about the phoenix.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward slightly. \"But Rong Chao signaled me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone made Rong Chen stiffen in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He never signals me,\" Rong Yue said. \"He always handles matters himself. So I became curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip tightened on the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what I found was you indulging in cowardice, disguising cruelty as punishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chen’s eyes widened. \"B-brother... I didn’t know Yan Wuhen... I didn’t know he was—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t know he was special to Yan Wuhen?\" Rong Yue cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he let out a low, dark, unamused laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rose to his feet, lifting the blade and stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steel pressed lightly against Rong Chen’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chen froze, eyes flooded with horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t have cared,\" Rong Yue said again, his voice dropping. \"Not about the humans. Not about the phoenix.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned closer. \"But Yan Wuhen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw clenched. \"That fox erased empathy from himself long ago. And yet—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue’s eyes burned. \"He bound that phoenix with a spirit mate chain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chen stared at him in shock. \"Wha..what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are stripped of your authority to grant punishment or command guards,\" he said flatly. \"Until I decide otherwise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chen stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is for nearly provoking an unnecessary war,\" Rong Yue continued, turning away. \"And for causing a rift with a valuable acquaintance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he lifted his sword, resting it against his shoulder, and left the inner chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards bowed as he passed through the hall, none daring to meet his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue entered his sleeping chamber in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed the blade back among the others on the rack. Only then did his gaze shift to the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two tiger beasts lay beneath the covers. One male, one female their bare skin visible in the low light. They were barely awake. Watching him carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why aren’t you asleep?\" Rong Yue asked coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before either could answer, his attention shifted to the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chao stood there, hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was waiting for you to finish with Rong Chen,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue nodded and walked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is something wrong?\" he asked. \"Your friend is safe.. i think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chao hesitated, then spoke carefully. \"Is he really bound to Yan Wuhen? By a spirit mate chain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue shrugged. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Is that bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft chuckle left Rong Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That depends on perspective,\" he replied. \"To most, it signifies ownership. A deeper bond.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes darkened slightly. \"I see it as cowardice, impatience. But Wuhen has never been patient fox.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chao pursed his lips, thinking, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll let you rest, then. Thank you for coming when I called.\" He frowned faintly. \"Rong Chen disgusts me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue smirked. \"You really like this phoenix, don’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chao stiffened. \"No.. I mean.. he’s strange, yes, but he doesn’t deserve this. Still, he doesn’t stand a chance against Lan Meishan.\" He flushed. \"Lan Meishan owns my heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue grimaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know what you see in that unsettling prince,\" he muttered. \"But if you want to befriend the phoenix, you’ll have to speak to him. Speak, Achao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed a hand on Rong Chao’s shoulder and turned him toward the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now go. I need my beauty sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Chao laughed. \"Good night, Senior brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the door closed, Rong Yue returned his gaze to the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two figures there were fully awake now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness,\" the female said softly, her smile shy as she met his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue’s lips twitched as she crawled toward him. He reached out, fingers brushing her cheek in a familiar gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize for taking too long, Jian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were willing to wait,\" the male replied calmly. \"It seems Rong Chen caused you some trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That he did, Dajing,\" Rong Yue murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat on the edge of the bed. Jian immediately moved behind him, her hands settling on his shoulders, her bosoms pressing against his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He made you so stressed, your highness,\" she purred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dajing rose from the mattress and knelt between Rong Yue’s legs, looking up at him with devotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue ruffled his hair absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that’s why you two are here... to relieve my stress,\" he said lightly. \"Aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Always, Your Highness,\" Jian whispered near his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Always...\" Dajing smiled and lifted a hand, his thumb brushing Rong Yue’s lower lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, for just a heartbeat, Dajing’s face was no longer Dajing’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White hair. Violet eyes. A slow, knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Yue froze. Then his lips curved, sharp and amused. \"How troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",999,"2026-06-06T15:58:24.904Z",1,"novelbin.me","02deb4a0b188a0a056ce126d49010ede9a293c602f7ad1e36a7d3ffc5cf11c5d","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-25","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-23",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
