(2) I am Red Lantern... My head... is spinning. "Wife?!!" A loud voice suddenly woke me up. Listen, this voice is very magnetic. Wait a minute, wife?! Who's calling me? 9 o'clock literature! I tried to open my eyes. A strikingly handsome face was right up against mine, but because it was too close, I couldn't see him clearly at all. His abnormally enlarged emerald green eyes were staring straight into mine, making me feel extremely uneasy. The surroundings were quite dim, and it seemed like I was lying on a soft big bed. I quickly pushed the person in front of me away, finally seeing his appearance clearly. This person had hair that reached down to his lower legs, overall silver-gray in color, casually draped over his shoulders but very neat. The bangs hanging in front of his forehead added a touch of elegance.
After the waves of time filtered out the SEO blog, a pair of narrow, slanted phoenix eyes, with pupils presenting an eerie emerald green and incredibly deep, a high-arched nose bridge, distinct angles, and a pale scar on the right cheek did not affect the overall refinement of this person's face. The thin lips, pale as if cut by a knife, wore a peculiar light beige long robe, with a scarf tied around the neck as decoration, somewhat blending Eastern and Western styles. This person... is truly an outstanding... handsome man. But...
"Who are you?" Instinctively, I reached for my waist, wanting to feel the always-with-me如意百宝囊 (Ruyi Baobao Nang), but instead touched something hard, which seemed to be a handle. That's right, didn't I leave the divine realm? Then where am I?
"Wife~~ It's Ahui~~ You don't recognize me anymore~~~~" The handsome man known as Ahui muttered, "I already had no status in the house... now even my wife doesn't recognize me... seems like my voice has changed too... how can I live like this..."
What a headache!! I subconsciously grabbed the handle-like thing at my waist and swung it forcefully towards the handsome man's head...
"Ouch! Wife...."
It turned out to be a flat-bottomed pan....
.... Now I know who he is. Here is... the world of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf! Where I am... should be the Wolf Fortress, right?
Ignoring the wailing Ahui clutching his head, I jumped off the bed. Looking at the familiar decor of the room... could it be?
I trembled as I walked to the vanity mirror, "It really is her...."
The me in the mirror had similarly long silver-gray hair reaching down to her lower legs, wearing a broken golden crown, with heavy purple eyeshadow and an exaggerated makeup look, including that overly red large mouth... What made me least bearable was the mole at the corner of my left eye, why was it so big??!!! It was as big as a thumbnail!! Perhaps due to living in darkness for a long time, my skin was extremely pale... The only thing I was grateful for was that I was in human form... If I had become a real wolf (werewolf?!), I think I would have gone crazy...
"Ahui!!!"
"Wife!"
Ahui immediately darted over, "What do you need?!"
"Bring me a basin of water!" I said.
Ahui looked a bit puzzled; he thought his wife would ask him to catch sheep.
Not long after, the incredibly obedient Mr. Gray Wolf brought a basin of water.
Oh dear, today on the train, two grandmothers sat next to me, one of whom was there to see the other off, truly a good husband.
"You, help me wash off the makeup on my face..." Let's give it a try and see if the legendary Gray Wolf really obeys me without question.
"Okay." Ahui glanced at me, a flash of strange light passing through his eyes. He then obediently took out a handkerchief soaked with water and began wiping my face.
I swear I saw a trace of disgust, or perhaps disdain, in his eyes, but just a trace, and he concealed it well. That look was fleeting, almost imperceptible... How could it be? How could Gray Wolf feel this way about Red Lantern? According to my understanding of this world, he should be someone who is severely henpecked!
Alright, if he looks down on me, let him. From now on, I want to thoroughly study Gray Wolf's [true] feelings towards Red Lantern. As Ahui slowly wiped my face, the pale face hidden beneath the heavy makeup revealed itself in the mirror.
Ahui stared at the real me under the heavy makeup reflected in the mirror, gradually becoming dazed. Had it been too long since he last saw his wife's true appearance?
I also became absorbed looking at myself in the mirror. The silvery gray bangs slanting across my forehead remained unchanged. With less purple eyeshadow, the long thick black lashes became more noticeable. Only then did I realize my eyes were a pair of narrow upward-slanting ones. And the large black mole at the corner of my left eye turned out to be painted larger. After this wipe, it revealed its original small, faint black mole, barely visible unless closely examined. Although my cheeks were pale, they had taken on a delicate rosy hue after the recent cleansing. The previously exaggerated red mouth had now transformed into slightly elongated, pale thin lips... I seriously doubted that Red Lantern had some special preferences, enjoying making herself look like a clown!
Perhaps due to the arrival of my foreign soul, this originally extraordinary face appeared even more masculine, adding a touch of gender-neutral beauty, and surprisingly exuding the aura of my previous dominance over the world.
"Cough cough, Gray Wolf, what are you spacing out for," I turned my head and smiled at Ahui, "Go pour out the water quick!!"
Perhaps due to being accustomed to obeying Red Lantern's commanding tone, Gray Wolf immediately returned to normal and said, "As you wish, wife!!"
