Transmigration:The Villain Wants A Happy End Without His BeastHusbands Chapter 116: It Was Just A Nightmare

"...This..."

Ningyan stood in the void again. Endless darkness stretched in every direction, broken only by a single source of light.

The large blue crystal floated silently before him.

It was shaped like a massive shard of frozen fla, glowing faintly as it drifted in the emptiness.

Beneath Ningyan’s feet, a soft white-gold light spread across the darkness like a small island of radiance.

"Not this again." He stared up at the crystal warily.

Slowly, he raised his hand. Then he touched it.

The mont his fingers brushed the surface, the world shattered.

Suddenly Ningyan was no longer in the void.

He was standing in the lower district again.

Bodies of innocent beasts lay scattered across the ground.

Blood stained the streets. And standing in the center of it all, was himself.

Ningyan’s eyes widened in shock.

He stared at the other version of himself in complete disbelief. "Is... is that ?"

The figure before him looked terrifying.

Blood streaked across his face. His eyes burned with blue flas.

A powerful blue glow surrounded his body like blazing fire as he faced Mu Yi with pure killing intent.

Ningyan stumbled backward. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

That version of himself looked like a force of nature.

The power radiating from him was overwhelming. Wild. Uncontrolled. And terrifying.

The blue energy swirling around him...

Was that the power inside him?

Suddenly Ningyan was back in the void.

He jerked his hand away from the crystal and took a deep, ragged breath. "This can’t be happening..."

He rembered that night clearly.

The rage. The grief. The unbearable killing intent.

But now that he had seen it from the outside... It was both terrifying and awe-inspiring.

That power. Where had it co from?

Was it good? Or was it sothing darker?

And why did it feel like the crystal was rging with him?

Ningyan hesitated for only a mont.

Then he reached out and touched the crystal again.

This ti, a sharp pain exploded in his chest.

"—!" A grunt of pain escaped him.

A violent shockwave burst from the crystal, throwing him backward.

Ningyan crashed hard onto the dark surface of the void. His hand clutched his chest as he coughed in pain.

Then sothing strange happened.

Right in front of the crystal, the demon sword he had taken from Mu Yi suddenly appeared.

Ningyan stared in shock. "What...?"

He slowly pushed himself to his feet, still holding his chest.

"What is that doing here? ishan took it."

Instinctively, he ran toward it. But before he could reach it, the sword dissolved into crackling black-red energy.

The energy was instantly pulled into the crystal. Absorbed. And the mont it vanished, indescribable pain exploded inside Ningyan’s body.

Blue light erupted around him, pulsing like a heartbeat.

"Aaah—!" Ningyan scread and collapsed to his knees.

The pain spread through every part of him. His hands slamd against the dark surface beneath him as his body trembled violently.

The blue glow around him pulsed again and again like a living heart.

Slowly, the color began to change.

Blue... beca white-gold. And then, white-gold twisted into black-red miasma.

Dark energy began pouring from his body like smoke.

Ningyan could no longer even scream. The pain was too overwhelming.

His eyes were wide and unfocused as his body shook violently.

Suddenly, a screech shattered the void.

Ningyan forced his head up.

Behind the crystal stood his beast soul. A massive phoenix made of white-gold fla.

The radiant creature spread its wings, glowing brilliantly in the darkness.

Then, it flew forward. Straight into the crystal. And both phoenix and the crystal vanished.

The void collapsed. Ningyan was violently thrown out.

"No!" His violet eyes snapped open.

The first thing he saw was ishan’s worried face above him.

"Ningyan." ishan was cupping Ningyan’s face, his erald eyes filled with worry.

Ningyan just stared at him, unsure what to say.

Because he didn’t even understand what the hell had just happened.

But he felt it.

The crystal. It had devoured the demon tool.

And then his beast soul...

His beast soul had rged with the crystal.

Ningyan felt like he was going crazy because he didn’t even know what it ant.

"I..." he started, breathing hard. "I think sothing is wrong with ."

ishan’s expression imdiately beca even more worried, and the sight made Ningyan’s heart squeeze painfully.

He hated seeing that look on ishan’s face.

So instead of telling the truth, he pushed the terrifying thoughts aside and forced himself upright.

Then he climbed onto ishan’s lap and cupped his face, smiling softly.

"But I’m going to be fine," Ningyan said lightly. "I think I’m just seasick. I’m perfectly fine."

ishan didn’t look convinced. Not even a little. "You were screaming in your sleep."

Ningyan blinked in surprise. He hadn’t expected that. "Oh."

"This is the second ti it’s happened," ishan added imdiately.

He lifted his hand and pressed two fingers gently against Ningyan’s forehead.

A faint erald glow appeared at the tips of his fingers.

ishan frowned slightly. "Your beast soul... it’s fine."

He pulled his hand away and placed his palm against Ningyan’s abdon. "Your beast core feels normal too."

Ningyan felt a wave of relief wash through him.

At least nothing seed obviously wrong.

But even that didn’t erase the worry on ishan’s face.

And honestly... Ningyan thought the worry was justified.

After all, that thing had just devoured a demon tool.

He swallowed hard and leaned closer to ishan’s face.

ishan clearly hadn’t expected the sudden closeness.

His eyes widened slightly.

Ningyan smiled at him, and almost imdiately a faint blush spread across ishan’s face.

"I don’t know why I was screaming in my sleep," Ningyan said casually. "But you checked, and I’m fine. Maybe it was just a nightmare."

He shrugged lightly. "Though I don’t rember it."

He was rambling a little, trying to pull ishan’s thoughts away from the situation.

ishan slowly wet his lips and nodded. "...Okay."

Ningyan could tell he didn’t believe him. Not really.

But the truth about the glowing blue crystal absorbing a demon tool was definitely bad news.

And Ningyan was far too attached to ishan now.

If ishan actually left him... It would break his heart.

Lan ishan had already abandoned his own family because he refused to be involved with demonic corruption.

If he discovered Ningyan might be connected to sothing like that... He probably wouldn’t hesitate to leave.

So Ningyan simply smiled. He leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to ishan’s lips.

"Everything is fine, Shan’er," he whispered gently. "I pinky promise."

ishan’s face turned red imdiately at the soft tone of his voice and the intimate na.

For a mont he didn’t say anything.

He simply reached up and placed his hands over Ningyan’s, which were still resting on his cheeks, nodding as if he was convinced.

But the worry he felt never disappeared.
