Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

The distance from Hollandpur County in the Ocean Empire to the town of Biff in the Forest Empire is not particularly far.

Bifu Town is located to the west of the Forest Empire, which is close to the direction of the Ocean Empire. Most of Jiang Yu's group set off on griffins, while Jiang Yu rode in the celestial horse carriage given to her by Fan Qingyin. Since they were not in a hurry, it took them five days to reach their destination.

The landscapes of the Forest Empire and the Ocean Empire are indeed quite different, as can be seen from their names.

The Forest Empire is covered by dense forests and has very few open spaces. Only in the areas surrounding the empire and bordering other empires are there large areas of grassland, ice fields, or beaches. The water bodies within the empire are mostly streams and lakes, with few large rivers.

If the Ocean Empire is a blue empire, with salty sea breezes blowing year-round, then the Forest Empire is a green kingdom, where the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and the eyes are filled with deep green, light green, dark green, and grass green, interspersed with various colorful flowers, making it very beautiful.

As soon as Jiang Yu arrived at the entrance of the Lord's Manor in Bifu Town, she saw Chen Xin leading a large group of people to greet her. Jiang Yu had barely stepped out of the carriage when Chen Xin rushed up and hugged her.

"Oh my little Yu, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon. How are you? You must be exhausted from the journey!"

"How could I be tired? The thought of seeing you soon fills me with joy and excitement; I don't feel tired at all. But you, you make it sound so nice, yet you haven't come to see me first," Jiang Yu joked.

"Oh dear, this is your honeymoon, so I thought I'd better not disturb your newlywed life with your husbands." Chen Xin said somewhat awkwardly. She was too embarrassed to say that she had been overwhelmed by all the messy things in her love life lately, lest Jiang Yu laugh at her for being too fickle.

"Hey, where's your husband? Are they all so busy? None of them came with you? That's really outrageous!" Chen Xin looked left and right, but couldn't find the divine messenger Fan Qingyin, who was said to have a face as beautiful as ice and snow, or the handsome and sunny General Lin Yi, whom Jiang Yuxin always mentioned.

"As you know, Lin Yi works in the military and spends most of his time in the army. By the way, he was assigned to the border legion between the Ocean Empire and the Forest Empire."

“Qingyin is a divine messenger. The blessing ceremony that was arranged long ago cannot be postponed just because of my impromptu schedule!” Jiang Yu explained with a smile.

"Sigh, we're all so busy people, and you had to come alone." Seemingly incredulous, Chen Xin couldn't help but complain.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it now. What kind of image do we have standing here at the gate? We can talk properly once we're inside. It's a deal, since you're here, you have to sleep with me. We besties need to have a good chat tonight."

Chen Xin held Jiang Yu's hand tightly. "Let me introduce my husbands to you first, and then we'll go inside. I've prepared a big table of dishes, many of which are your favorites. We can have a good chat then."

Jiang Yu naturally had no choice but to comply.

She suppressed her faint doubts. When she was looking at the gate earlier, she noticed that besides Chen Xin's clan emblem, there were only three other clan emblems in the place where the clan emblems were displayed. These should be the three husbands she chose at the partner selection conference. However, if she wasn't mistaken, there were four people standing in the most prominent position behind Chen Xin, greeting her with Chen Xin.

"Look here. This is Gilbert, who was my number one choice when I was looking for a partner. He is the youngest son of the Imperial Tutor of the Forest Empire, and he is also a very learned man who is currently involved in compiling historical records."

Chen Xin pulled over a tall man, and Jiang Yu greeted him politely. Then she secretly sized him up and found that the man looked refined and handsome. His short brown hair was not eye-catching, but it was neatly styled. He wore a pair of thin-rimmed metal glasses, giving him the air of a scholar.

Since he comes from a family of imperial tutors, he must have a family tradition of integrity, and when he greeted Jiang Yu, he was also very courteous and respectful.

"This gentleman is Xiang Lan, a member of the Xiang family, a renowned family of architects in your Ocean Empire." Upon hearing that he was also from the Ocean Empire, Jiang Yu paid special attention to him, and the other party reciprocated with great goodwill.

This was a man who looked somewhat serious. Even when he smiled, a deep line ran between his brows, suggesting he often frowned. But this didn't detract from his handsomeness. His long, dark blue hair was neatly tied back in a low ponytail. He wore simple black casual clothes. He was naturally handsome in a very upright manner, and this formal attire made him appear very low-key.

“The third one is Dovica, the second son of the family of royal horse trainers who tamed the celestial horses of the Aurora Empire. I see that the carriage you rode in this time was pulled by the celestial horses of the Aurora Empire, right?” Chen Xin said enviously. “You actually have two celestial horses. That carriage also looks very expensive and exquisite. It was a gift from Fan Qingyin, wasn’t it?”

"Yes, it's a wedding gift brought by the Qingyin family," Jiang Yu said somewhat shyly.

"Dovica only gave me a Pegasus!" Chen Xin said, glancing sideways at Dovica with feigned displeasure.

Dovika, who seemed like a very shy young man, blushed with embarrassment upon hearing this and quickly explained, "Pegasus is the exclusive property of the Aurora Empire's royal family. Our family has earned this honor because we have trained Pegasus for the royal family for generations. The Brahma family is one of the most powerful clans in the world. How can our family compare to the Brahma family?"

Jiang Yu looked at the boy, who was on the verge of tears, and gave Chen Xin a disapproving look. Chen Xin then smiled and said, "I never thought I would pick such a crybaby. I love teasing him, and I can tease him every time!"

"Naughty." Suddenly, a voice uttered the word Jiang Yu was thinking. Jiang Yu looked in the direction of the voice and met a smiling gaze.

Jiang Yu has seen too many handsome men in this world, but the man who spoke was the most handsome Jiang Yu had ever seen, almost to the point of being considered devilishly handsome.

Her long, dark green, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, with a wisp of hair parted diagonally across her forehead, partially obscuring the left half of her face. Her exposed eyebrows and eyes were strikingly beautiful, with long, upturned eyes that were typical of fox eyes. Her nose was straight and sculpted like jade, and her lips were full and lustrous.

Jiang Yu was somewhat stunned by the man's good looks.

After a brief moment of distraction, Jiang Yu turned to look at Chen Xin, asking with his eyes who this person was.

Seeing Jiang Yu's questioning gaze, Chen Xin smiled shyly, pulled the man to her side, and leaned against him affectionately, introducing him: "This is Zhong Qin, who is also my lover. I plan to choose him as my fourth husband at the next partner selection event."

This means that the two have already consummated their marriage, but are not yet officially married.

Jiang Yu glanced at Chen Xin's other three husbands and noticed that Gilbert's face remained calm, though he slightly turned his head away. Xiang Lan's brows seemed to have deepened instantly, while Dovika's eyes were red and hinted at accusation and grievance.

Indeed, there are precedents of women taking advantage of someone, consummating their marriage, and then waiting until the next year's partner selection conference to officially recognize them as their spouse. In fact, there are many. The unfairness of this world lies in giving women the power to be unfaithful.

However, for someone like Chen Xin, who has already chosen three husbands in her first year of adulthood and is still in the honeymoon phase, doing this would make the husbands lose face, and the families they represent would certainly have objections.

Jiang Yu believed that Chen Xin wouldn't be such a reckless person, but seeing Zhong Qin's devilishly handsome face and Chen Xin's usually carefree but shy expression, Jiang Yu sighed inwardly.

Well, it seems she's found true love.
