Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Chapter 328 Puppy or Dragon?

Keslan's suggestion was undoubtedly a sharp weapon to break the ice, directly resolving the current predicament.

However, there was some debate about whether Moa or Keslan should go to the Aurora Empire.

Moya is a descendant of the demigod Muliu clan, and his public identity is the young master of the Northern Border Divine Servant Tribe of the Aurora Empire. In this respect, he may be a great help to Fan Qingyin.

However, at the same time, he is far superior to Fan Qingyin in terms of divine power. With the fall of the divine light and the Holy Mountain in grave danger, the remaining divine realm might turn Mo Ya into the next straw, which would be detrimental to Fan Qingyin's efforts to clean up the mess and consolidate the forces.

Keslan wouldn't have this concern. He had no interest in royal power, and knew nothing about divine or religious authority. He would go along simply to act as a bodyguard, and wouldn't hinder Fan Qingyin from fully displaying her talents.

At the same time, there was no way to provide Fan Qingyin with any assistance.

Jiang Yu's old habit resurfaced; she was clearly troubled and conflicted, and in the end, Fan Qingyin made the decision.

“Even without Moya, I can handle it.” Fan Qingyin was very confident. As long as he wanted, the position of Pope was always his for the taking. Moreover, the power he inherited from his ancestors and the altar was enough to make him a powerful figure in the world.

Ultimately, the decision was made more in accordance with Fan Qingyin's wishes. Moya would accompany Jiang Yu to Hollandpur, while Keslan, along with Owl's subordinates and Kong Yiche, would accompany Fan Qingyin to the Aurora Empire to take up her post.

This family has come together in this special way at this crucial juncture.

Now Jiang Yu only has two things to worry about.

She and Qingyin are separated by distance, and she misses her lover.

Also, it remains to be seen whether Keslan and Kong Yiche, who have a long-standing feud, can get along smoothly and harmoniously.

"Promise me you won't make things difficult for A-Che," Jiang Yu reminded Keslan.

This guy is vindictive and has always been at odds with Kong Yiche. Now, he'll likely hold an even greater grudge against her because of her.

Qingyin only showed warmth to her. Knowing Qingyin as she did, even if the two of them were fighting to the death in front of him, he wouldn't even lift an eyelid.

"Tsk, you really do care more about him." Keslan said irritably, but his eyes were filled with a storm, which was completely different from his joking and carefree appearance.

Jiang Yu was well aware of his inner conflict.

She moved closer to him, offering no words of comfort, but continued, "My original intention was to have you stay with me in Hollandpool."

Keslan seemed very interested.

"But the result was the opposite; it wasn't entirely what I wanted to do, Qingyin's way." Jiang Yu sighed. "I also hope that you and A'che can take this opportunity to eliminate the misunderstandings and get along well."

"It's actually quite difficult for me too. I'm also worried that I might do something wrong and make the ice between you even thicker."

“So this is an adventure for me.” Jiang Yu raised his hand and placed it on Keslan’s chest, feeling his strong heartbeat through his thick, firm muscles.

"Will you let me lose?" Her dark eyes, shimmering with affection, gazed intently at him, as if he were the only one in her world.

Being looked at like that, Keslan found it hard to rebel. He wanted to give her whatever she wanted, even if it cost him his life.

“I won’t attack him first, I assure you,” Keslan said earnestly. “But you have to allow me the right to protect myself.”

“Of course.” Jiang Yu withdrew her hand, pleased that Keslan was now very easy to talk to.

“Good puppies get rewards.” Keslan curled the corners of his mouth. “I heard you think Lin Yi is a cute puppy.”

Keslan smiled, but there was an underlying sense of resentment in his voice.

Do you always reward him?

"I really don't know where you heard that from." Jiang Yu blinked, looking quite helpless. "You're too jealous."

"What, isn't your little dog jealous?" Keslan said sarcastically. "That's because he's too stupid. You know, dogs aren't smart."

Jiang Yu almost burst out laughing. The current Keslan was really different from the unpredictable and eccentric one he used to be.

“Owls are different,” Jiang Yu said deliberately. “Owls represent wisdom in stories across different cultures, right?”

"Although, I really don't like the name owl. Whether it's smart or not, calling me that makes me sound stupid." Keslan finally said it. He wasn't some damned, hairy, shady bird.

“Then…” Jiang Yu raised her hand and touched the eyes that had left a very deep impression on her from the first time they met. Under her touch, the clear yellow eyes narrowed slightly, and the long eyelashes brushed against her fingers like cicada wings.

“It’s not just owls that have bright yellow eyes.” She smiled slightly.

"In some myths I am familiar with, ancient dragons liked to dwell in mysterious caves. They breathed flames, had wings that blotted out the sky, had the hardest scales and horns, and eyes that shone like yellow diamonds."

“They are wicked yet passionate, greedy yet loyal,” Jiang Yu sighed. “How about it, doesn’t that sound more compatible with you?”

“Sounds good.” Keslan’s eyes sparkled. He didn’t want to be a dog; this dragon thing sounded much stronger.

“Tell me more, I want to hear it.” Keslan rubbed her palm against hers, like an animal truly submitting to her.

He said he wouldn't be a dog, but he turned out to be more obedient than a dog.

"Legend has it that dragons collect countless treasures and hide them in their caves, sleeping atop mountains of gold and silver. And..."

"Dragons are also adept at abducting princesses, imprisoning them in their caves, and keeping them as their most precious possessions."

Keslan's eyes lit up with longing at first, then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm not even as good as those dragons. At least they can have the princess all to themselves."

With a forceful pull, he held the person tightly in his arms: "And in my princess's heart, I don't even know where I'd rank."

Jiang Yu was almost suffocating from his grip. She cupped his chiseled, handsome face in her hands, affectionately rubbed her nose against his straight, hooked nose, and then bit his lips, which were always so unforgiving.

“Dragons aren’t as eloquent as you, and besides, you’re way too handsome,” Jiang Yu said, trying to be nice. “If a dragon could take human form and look like you, I believe the princess would be so desperate to stay in your cave that she’d rather die than stay there.”

"Even if a prince comes to save you, you'll probably poison him yourself for your sake, hahaha."

Keslan narrowed his eyes with pleasure and picked up his beloved woman in one scoop: "There's no need for the princess to lift a finger. If she agrees, I can kill those damned princes right now."
