Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

After Lenny left, Jiang Yu slumped into a chair, weakly patting her chest, feeling the lingering throbbing in her heart. That face had had a profound impact on her. Although her reason kept reminding her it was just a coincidence, she knew she couldn't completely control her actions. She was sure Lenny had sensed any inappropriate gestures or expressions she'd made. Moreover, she had a feeling that Lenny was an extremely intelligent and perceptive person. Even though she'd only met him once, she felt this young man would never be mediocre.

Even after leaving the manor, Lanny still felt as if he were walking on clouds. The lord's interest in him was so obvious that he even considered risking confessing his feelings to test her thoughts, but thankfully he restrained himself.

He must seize this hard-won opportunity and not let it all come to nothing.

He knew some of the servants in the manor, and he managed to meet them to inquire about the situation. He learned that Jiang Yu currently only had two husbands. One was a divine envoy from the Aurora Empire named Fan Qingyin, who was said to have an ethereal appearance and long, silver-white hair. The other was a military officer from his own country named Lin Yi, from the Lin family of the royal city. It seemed that the blond man he saw on the beach that day was Lin Yi. He also learned that Lin Yi was currently stationed with troops in another region.

Lanny, sensing that Jiang Yu preferred Lin Yi, saw this as a perfect opportunity. He needed to quickly figure out why the lord had this inexplicable interest in him. After all, he didn't think Lin Yi's looks alone could attract a lord from a noble family in the royal city. In his eyes, Lin Yi was already incredibly handsome, and Fan Qingyin was said to be even more so. His own modest good looks were only acceptable to servants.

Fan Qingyin returned home very late that day, and Jiang Yu was sitting at the dining table waiting for him to eat together. Since Jiang Yu accepted his kiss and hugged him last time, the two had become much closer. After changing his clothes, Fan Qingyin quickly came downstairs and gently kissed Jiang Yu's forehead as she smiled at him.

“I sent someone back to say I’d be back late, and told you to eat early, why didn’t you listen?” Fan Qingyin pulled out a chair and sat down, taking Jiang Yu’s hand.

“We’re family, of course I’ll wait for you to have dinner together. Otherwise, it’s no fun if we eat separately, and I’m not hungry either.” Jiang Yu looked at Fan Qingyin, wanting to tell him about Lanni, but she didn’t know how to start. Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi still didn’t know that she was a soul from another world. No matter how she explained Lanni’s situation, it was unbelievable and inexplicable. In the end, she chose not to say anything, since she didn’t intend to do anything anyway.

"It's too late, so I didn't ask them to prepare any seafood or meat, and there's no ice cream either. I thought you'd been busy all day, so I asked the kitchen to cook some porridge with tender, stewed minced meat in it. It tastes really good, you should try it. There are also some milk-based snacks. And some refreshing side dishes, try them and see if they suit your taste." Jiang Yu put aside her random thoughts and focused on having dinner with Fan Qingyin, acting like a dutiful wife.

"Xiao Yu, these look so appetizing, you're so thoughtful." Fan Qingyin was clearly very pleased, picked up her fork and put a small pastry on Jiang Yu's plate: "Eat up, it's late. Be good next time and don't wait up for me this late."

"Then come back earlier next time. There's always work to be done. I don't want you to overwork yourself."

"I'll do whatever you say." Fan Qingyin was clearly very pleased and affectionately pinched Jiang Yu's nose. Although Jiang Yu was still slightly uncomfortable with this kind of intimacy, he tried his best to put himself in the role of a wife.

In fact, the work of the divine messengers does not need to be so tiring. Jiang Yu also knew that the clergy in this world have a high status because they possess actual divine power, which makes them naturally superior to others. Therefore, most of them are carefree, indifferent and aloof.

Fan Qingyin had done a lot of work in the parish during this time. Although she still appeared proud and aloof, the amount of divine power she bestowed through her prayers was enough to delight the people of Hollandpur County. Everyone had initially thought that an envoy from the Aurora Empire, as the lord's husband, wouldn't have much interest in them, especially given his family's extraordinary status. Jiang Yu, however, understood that Fan Qingyin was building up her prestige among the people.

"Xiao Yu, I heard you're holding a banquet tomorrow night?" Fan Qingyin asked, recalling the message Jiang Yu had sent through a servant that afternoon.

“Yes, that’s right. You need to be back early tomorrow afternoon. As the host, you have to help me entertain the guests,” Jiang Yu said with a smile. “You know, those ladies only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. Although they are the ultimate power holders and decision-makers, it is actually their husbands who implement and devise the plans. It’s not very convenient for me to talk to them directly, so I thought Qingyin could help me infiltrate the enemy ranks, see what they are thinking, and pass on my message to them.”

"It is my duty to help Xiaoyu," Fan Qingyin readily agreed.

“I know it’s a very simple matter for Qingyin, after all, the people in the county have been praising and admiring Qingyin lately. But Qingyin doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would help me with mundane matters. I feel like I should enshrine you in a sacred tower because of your persona.” Jiang Yu felt guilty thinking about how Fan Qingyin had to be so adept at social interaction with others, and that she had to do it to accommodate her. Unfortunately, she had no one else to rely on except Fan Qingyin.

"If I wanted to live in the Divine Tower forever, I wouldn't have participated in the partner selection conference, nor would I have chosen Xiaoyu as my wife. Where Xiaoyu is is paradise to me. I live in the mortal world just like Xiaoyu, but being with Xiaoyu makes the mortal world even happier than the Divine Tower paradise." Look at Fan Qingyin, when she speaks sweet words, what can anyone else compare? It's an ability only a max-level god possesses.

To hide her blushing and racing heart, Jiang Yu could only bury her head in her food. Fan Qingyin's icy blue eyes shone with affection.

Lin Yi was stationed in another city, and only he and Xiao Yu were in the manor. They ate, worked, and took walks together, which gave him a fleeting illusion of a lifelong, blissful existence. It was as if Xiao Yu only had him, and if Xiao Yu could fall in love with him, he would probably have no regrets.
