Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

Zhang Lan seems to have personally admitted to some of the "facts" that Wang Kai had imagined, but based on the clues currently available, it seems impossible for someone as prominent as Hani to allow Zhang Lan to act so "arbitrarily" on his territory.

After all, Hani is the kind of ruthless guy who would almost scare someone to death for a few dozen gold coins.

If a businessman has such an extreme desire for money, how could he be so "generous" to an ordinary elf girl?

If we remove the factor of money, there's only one possibility left... Could it be!

Suddenly, Wang Kai came to what he considered the most reliable and shocking guess so far. He immediately stepped in front of Zhang Lan, blocking her way, and stared intently into her eyes with an extremely serious expression.

Looking at this face that has matured considerably, with foundation, drawn eyebrows, and light red lips, one can vaguely sense a sense of inescapable helplessness behind it.

Add to that the figure-hugging evening gown, and most strikingly, the golden hair piled up on her head like that of a European aristocratic woman, all of which undoubtedly brought her closer to the desperate guess in Wang Kai's mind.

Feeling a bit confused by the stare, Zhang Lan tilted her head and asked.

"Judging from your expression, you must have guessed pretty much everything by now. Ah well, it's the best choice I could make when I had no other option..."

"This... I don't, I don't agree with, and I will never accept this choice. Why is it like this!"

"Huh?" Zhang Lan was stunned. "Accept...what?"

"For so long, I've overlooked a crucial point. Hani may be a businessman and an old man, but he's also a man. Besides his obsession with money, all that's left is the instinct of the seven emotions and six desires... And another thing is, men, no matter how old, like young girls. And you made such a helpless choice, did you think this body wasn't your own? Indifferently, for some reason, you actually decided... to marry that old man as his wife, no, more like his mistress, maybe even his fourth mistress!"

Wang Kai's words exploded in Zhang Lan's mind like a bombshell, but the maniacal mutterings showed no signs of stopping.

"I was careless! I was out cultivating immortality, leaving such lovely and lovable girls at home, allowing that old man Hani to take advantage of the situation and sneak into our house halfway, becoming the 'neighbor Wang' with a legitimate reason. Then he used money to lure you in and used trickery to force you to... Waaah, I'm so desperate and unwilling. All my hard work over the past few months has turned out to be... Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea, and from then on, you're cut off from the mortal world by those high walls."

Taking advantage of a brief moment, Zhang Lan was able to utter a single sentence from her slightly parted lips.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you muttering nonsense about? You look like you've seen the end of the world."

"Hmph, it's not the end of the world yet!" Wang Kai glared, grabbed Zhang Lan's small hand, and said, "Let's go!"

"Go? Where?"

"Need I waste any more words? I'll lead you out of here, out of this 'prison'!"

"Are you out of your mind? You keep talking about fighting and killing. Even if you want to take me away, what about Martha?"

"Oh, right, and Martha... and your 'Laffey Girls'. Oh no, I'm used to 'fighting the wild' by myself, and I might not be able to take care of so many people if things get heated. Oh well, I'll take this opportunity to... ouch!"

Zhang Lan had to pinch Wang Kai's hand slightly with her fingernails to barely break free from his grasp.

Looking at the reddened skin on her wrist, Zhang Lan stared at Wang Kai with an incomprehensible expression and said.

"Your nonsensical guess is really outrageous. It soared into the sky and even reached above the atmosphere. Even if I were in a rocket, I couldn't catch up... Before I could even react, I saw you turn into a mad dog, barking and biting wildly... Putting aside your brainless deductions, just the statement 'this body isn't your own' already makes me a little annoyed. Do you know how much I've suffered these past few months because of Alice's body?"

As she spoke, Zhang Lan reached out and pulled out the hairpin. Her hair, which had been tied up in a bun, was now loose and flowed down like a golden waterfall. It swept over her shoulders and then dispersed in the air. The strands of hair swirled around her body for a long time before slowly coming back together.

Her face, lightly made up yet elegant, held a look of surprise mixed with a hint of grievance, all concentrated in a pair of beautiful contact lenses that seemed about to overflow with tears.

Her long, flowing golden hair, reaching her waist, cascading naturally, her light and form-fitting evening gown, and her jade-like feet adorned with jeweled high heels—it was the first time they had come together so perfectly and completely.

This combination dealt a fatal blow to Wang Kai, who was still in a "crazy" state. In an instant, the tense atmosphere disappeared, and only his breathing and his now clear eyes remained on the scene.

As for Wang Kai, who had returned to calm, he simply used his eyes to deeply imprint every detail of this scene into his mind...

Zhang Lan thought her previous statement wasn't quite right, so she lifted the hem of her evening gown with both hands, spun around a few times, and, with a hint of annoyance, listed out all her grievances from the past few days.

"This outfit is so light and airy, and the high heels are really inconvenient to move in. If it weren't for the upcoming promotional event for 'Lafite II' these past few days, I really wouldn't have bothered wearing it."

"And this long hair, I initially planned to have Martha cut it off, but that girl immediately objected, saying that one of the three most important things about a girl is her hair..."

"Then, it takes an hour to care for this long hair every time I shower. Not only is it a waste of time, but it also takes a long time to dry. I have to put it up like this every time I go out. It's definitely in the top three in terms of trouble..."

"Also, she taught me how to do makeup. If I didn't want to learn, she would pester me to teach her every day until I knew it. I've said before that I would take good care of Alice's body, but I didn't mean this kind of 'meticulous maintenance.' If it were you, do you think this would be torture? Hey, what's wrong? Say something!"

……

"will you marry me?"

Wang Kai's blank expression remained fixed for a long time before his mouth finally opened, and his first words were as absurd as the atmosphere itself.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lan thought the other person's brain had short-circuited again, so she couldn't help but move closer, put her hands on her hips, and raise her voice to ask.

"I'm asking for your opinion, not listening to your nonsense..."

"Marry...no, no, I mean, let's go to church and have the priest officiate the wedding...no, let's elope...no, that's not right either. Oh no, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore!"

Wang Kai could clearly feel that his brain was no longer able to control his mouth, as if two souls were fighting for control of his body at the same time. He could only take a step back and slap himself to slightly relieve the "confusion state".

After calming down for a moment, Wang Kai also felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Since Zhang Lan's vehement defense earlier didn't seem like the reaction of someone who had condescended to "marry into a wealthy family"... if his wild guesses were true, would Hani have agreed to let a complete stranger like him get close to his "new wife"?

"Forget it, let's not think about that anymore. The important thing is to get down to business." Wang Kai took a deep breath, his expression returning to calm, and said.

"Just now, I was feeling suffocated by the overwhelming amount of questions about what had happened to you over the past few months... So, I'm sure many readers have been wondering for a long time how all these chaotic phenomena came together. The book is almost 15 words long, so it's time to reveal some of the foreshadowing. Hurry up..."
