Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Chapter 327 I'm Not Good Enough

It took Jiang Yu a long time to calm down.

She composed herself, changed into a hazy blue velvet dress, with a dazzling silver rhinestone embellishing the center, much like the color of the aurora borealis.

It could be seen as a gesture of goodwill and a compromise.

When she came downstairs, everyone else was already seated at the dining table, and the table was set.

Everyone's here, now we're just waiting for her.

Jiang Yu looked over and thought, "Hmm, everyone has never been so gathered before."

Fan Qingyin sat on the right, wearing a silver-gray straight-collar robe. Her slender neck was hidden in the high-buttoned collar, and her red hair was neatly combed into a low ponytail. When she saw her come down, she looked over with gentle and hopeful eyes.

Moya was sitting next to him.

Moya casually propped one arm on the table, idly playing with his long hair, and when his empty gray eyes turned to her, a clear sense of joy rose within them.

On the left is Lin Yi. At home, he always dresses comfortably and casually. A loose, casual linen-colored knight's sweater makes him look lazy, but his furrowed brows show that he is currently in a state of worry and anxiety.

Next to Lin Yi was Keslan.

He changed back into all black, his jet-black hair and clothes, along with his pale and cold face, made him stand out.

He sat with his arms crossed, leaning back in his chair. Only when he saw her get down did he put his legs down and sit up a little more properly.

Next to her is Kong Yiche.

He was dressed in the style of the Forest Empire, his pure white shirt adorned with embroidered emeralds and green leaves on the cuffs. He also wore an olive-green scarf at the collar, which complemented his peridot-like eyes.

Now they are all looking at her.

Jiang Yu paused for a moment, then walked over and sat down at the head of the table.

Lin Yi stood up, waved to the servants, and pushed a chair for her himself. Fan Qingyin called out earnestly, "Xiao Yu..."

"It's rare for us all to get together like this." After Lin Yi was seated, Jiang Yu raised his glass first: "To everyone."

“Now all that’s missing are those mundane rituals. In my heart, we’re already family.” Jiang Yu got straight to the point. “So there’s no need to hold back anymore.”

"Xiaoyu, shall we eat first?" Fan Qingyin reached out and placed her hand on the back of Xiaoyu's hand, feeling its icy temperature. Her brows furrowed instantly. "You didn't eat much at noon. We can talk after lunch..."

But Jiang Yu didn't let him finish speaking.

She stared at him for a while, until he swallowed the words he hadn't finished speaking, before turning her head to look into everyone's eyes.

“Qingyin will soon become the Pope of the Aurora Empire.” Jiang Yu looked at their almost unchanged expressions and smiled knowingly. “As for the reasons, with the abilities of everyone here, I don’t think I need to say more.”

"This decision is not what I wanted, but it seems inevitable."

She looked at Kong Yiche, whose olive-green eyes were fixed on her intently. She had once thought those eyes resembled those of a noble Persian cat, but now they felt more like those of some cold, sinister snake.

But she was neither afraid of snakes nor averse to them.

"Ache, no one knows Qingyin's physical condition better than you. I hope you can go to the Aurora Empire with him. Please."

Kong Yiche nodded slightly: "Of course, as long as it's your wish, I'm willing to do everything in my power. Besides, even if you hadn't said anything, I would still have done it anyway."

“I will write to your father to explain everything. Moya and I have also agreed that at the next mating ceremony, I will complete the mating ceremony with you and Keslan.”

Since these men value the exchange of benefits so much and are constantly scheming against each other out of concern, it would be better for them to settle down sooner rather than later, so that everyone can feel at ease.

"That's not what I meant." Kong Yiche's face paled slightly.

"I know, I just stated my decision, don't overthink it." Jiang Yu was in a bad mood and didn't really want to concern herself with their sensitive little emotions.

“Moya, I want you to go with Qingyin and protect him for me.” Jiang Yu looked at Moya. The joyful emotions in Moya’s gray eyes subsided. Of course, he was unwilling to leave Jiang Jiang.

But he can teleport, so...

"Alright, alright, don't worry, Jiang Jiang. With me here, no one can touch a hair on Fan Qingyin's head."

“I disagree.” Fan Qingyin lowered her eyes and calmly refused, “Whether you are angry or not, I will not agree to this matter.”

Jiang Yu looked at Fan Qingyin: "I'm not discussing this with you." Her lips were tight, and her voice was flat: "This is my decision. Either you take Moya and Ache with you, or you don't go."

Fan Qingyin didn't speak, but simply raised her eyes again and looked at her stubbornly, the determination in her eyes infuriating Jiang Yu.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Lin Yi chimed in, "Xiao Yu, actually I don't agree either."

Jiang Yu's gaze shifted coldly over him. Lin Yi swallowed hard and said, "Qingyin and I are not here, and Moya is not here either. Even if something happens and he teleports back, he cannot completely guarantee your safety. After all, Holy Mountain and Holmpur are still too far away. He cannot sense your whereabouts at any time."

"Given my current power and influence, there are very few threats to me on this continent," Jiang Yu insisted. "Do you think I can't survive if I'm separated from you for the time being?"

“Xiaoyu, you should understand what I mean,” Fan Qingyin said. “No matter where I am, my heart is with you. I cannot tolerate any possibility of insecurity happening around you.”

Jiang Yu was touched, but she felt he was too stubborn. She slammed her hand on the table in anger and was about to speak when a deep voice interrupted her.

"What, am I a dead man?" Keslan tilted his head, quite displeased. He felt inexplicably looked down upon. They had just said they were family, but it turned out they hadn't even considered him in the plan.

"Why don't you consider sending my people to the Aurora Empire or leaving them in Hollandpur?"

Jiang Yu and Fan Qingyin both looked at him. Stared at by two pairs of equally wide eyes, he tilted his head and said unhappily, "Fine, fine, as expected, you two never even considered it. Sigh, I'm not worthy."

"But...aren't all the orders in your Owl Group booked until next year? And now you're facing disbandment and reorganization, aren't you guys extremely busy?" Fan Qingyin asked, puzzled.

“Yes, it’s been so long since I’ve seen Huiyu and Huimo!” Jiang Yu nodded in agreement.

"What's so important about those orders? At worst, I'll just pay a penalty for breach of contract; it's not like I can't afford it." Keslan shrugged indifferently. "If it's really too much trouble to cancel, I can just kill the order holder and cancel the order. It's not a big deal."

"..." Fan Qingyin and Jiang Yu.

"..." Lin Yi.

"..." Kong Yiche.

"...How shameless!" Moya was stunned. "Someone like you actually wants to do business with you?! I don't understand."
