Shen Mei stares into the demon's dark eyes, enchanted. She raises her hand and touches his face, surprised that she can move now. The demon is watching her quietly with a creased forehead and an apprehensive look in his eyes.
"Hus--" She opens her mouth with tears in her eyes.
"Why do you look different?" Kai grabs her jaw and turns her face to her right, taking a good look at her cheek. "You look like a living being."
"..." What is her husband saying? Shen Mei blinks her eyes rapidly. Did he expect her to be dead?
Kai turns her face to her left. "Can you understand me?"
"Husband." She grabs Kai's wrist and looks straight into his eyes. "Of course, I can understand you."
