His limbs were heavy, pulled tight with lingering strain, and when he finally dragged in a breath, his lungs burned as if he had barely survived drowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a long moment before the pain receded enough for him to notice a calm, steady flow of energy wrapped gently around his core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Ningyan forced his eyes open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glowing emerald serpent eyes stared back at him from behind crooked spectacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Meishan looked exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His glasses sat askew on his nose, and while his robes and hair remained immaculate, the strain showed in his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat in a meditation position directly in front of Ningyan, who realized, belatedly, that he was seated the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of Meishan’s fingers still glowed faintly, releasing a steady stream of core-strength energy into Ningyan’s abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re awake,\" Meishan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief flickered unmistakably in his eyes as though he had truly believed Ningyan might never wake again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan tried to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His throat was raw, swollen from hours of screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to talk,\" Meishan said calmly. \"I’ll tell you everything you need to know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze lingered on Ningyan’s eyes, where the white-gold blaze still burned faintly. It had dimmed, but not vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan nodded weakly, resting his hands on his knees. He tightened his grip on the fabric beneath his fingers, testing his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s been four days?\" Meishan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s eyes widened in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been doing this for four days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan looked mildly amused by his reaction. \"I’ve lost a considerable amount of strength,\" he admitted. \"But I’ll recover. And so will you, now that you’ve survived this far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was honestly expecting cardiac arrest. Or complete bodily combustion from the pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was disturbingly casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it seems we were... lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luck?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s face flushed in outrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan tilted his head suddenly. \"Are you of pure bloodline?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question came out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan hesitated. Then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan nodded back, thoughtful. \"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His complexion had gone noticeably pale. The color drained from his lips, and something about it made Ningyan uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Meishan’s eyes fluttered shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The water...\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers went slack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his body tipped sideways, collapsing onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan had collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.. no, no...\" Ningyan rasped, scrambling toward him despite the screaming protest of his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Meishan under the arms and hauled him upright, his breath coming in shallow, uneven gasps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you mean by the water?\" he whispered hoarsely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of flowing water grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s gaze snapped toward the waterfall nearby. It had formed a clear, glassy body of water that shimmered faintly, heat rolling off its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\" he croaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That had to be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grimacing, Ningyan dragged Meishan toward the pool, muscles burning with every inch. When he finally reached the edge, he hesitated, staring down at Meishan’s still form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Do I undress him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan.. usually composed, sharp, untouchable.. looked almost unfairly beautiful like this. Soft. Vulnerable. His lashes cast shadows against pale skin, his lips slightly parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This felt criminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Focus,\" he rasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hastily pulled off Meishan’s outer robe, removed his spectacles, and slid the golden hair clasp free. Midnight-black hair spilled loose over his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ningyan stepped into the water, gripping Meishan by the arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heat wrapped around him instantly, soothing, almost heavy. He waded forward, breath hitching at how warm it was, how deep it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the ground vanished beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water dropped away sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic clawed up his throat. \"I..I can’t—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t swim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terror seized him. Instinctively, he let go of Meishan, flailing wildly to keep himself afloat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—!\" Ningyan choked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water swallowed his scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms thrashed uselessly, splashing everywhere, but his body was too weak, too sore. He was sinking helplessly dragged down by the heated yet eerily dark water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this how he was going to die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bubbles tore from his lips as he clawed blindly, his muscles screaming, his lungs screaming louder. And the darkness of the water closed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Ningyan thought this was the end, something massive moved in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge black serpent surged out of the depths, its body curling around him in one swift motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan’s heart slammed violently against his ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This snake was enormous. At least six feet long, thick and powerful, its presence overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan was sure he was going to die of a heart attack now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then glowing emerald serpent eyes met his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognition hit him like a thunderclap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Meishan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world lurched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan was yanked out of the water and thrown onto solid ground. He landed hard, coughing violently, water pouring from his lungs as he wheezed and gagged, chest burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was a close one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The calm voice came from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan twisted around weakly and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan leaned by the edge of the pool, his lower body still submerged in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His upper body was bare, slender and fit, skin slick with water. Long black hair clung to his shoulders as he ran his fingers through it, pushing it back absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked utterly composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And devastatingly unfair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyan stared, his brain completely offline, only vaguely aware that he had nearly drowned moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the vacant look on Ningyan’s face, Meishan tilted his head slightly. \"Are you about to pass out?\" he asked mildly. \"Did my beast form scare you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That snapped Ningyan back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked rapidly and tried to speak, but nothing came out. He frowned instead, rubbing at his sore neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meishan’s lips curved faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are a strange one,\" he murmured. \"Adorable, but strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The low, whispered tone sent a shiver straight through Ningyan’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to argue. To point out that Meishan was the strange one here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he just kept staring at the impossibly calm, impossibly beautiful serpent prince who had just saved his life.\u003C\u002Fp>",1037,"2026-06-06T15:58:24.904Z",1,"novelbin.me","4d4f0604cba54b28bfa9fe2edec0889ba3997532cf69c2e35131309b27b691cd","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-33","transmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-chapter-31",228,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-the-villain-wants-a-happy-end-wit-cover.jpg"]
