Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Jiang Yu stopped the servants and replaced the Aurora Pegasus that had been pulling her carriage with a griffin.

She chose the most skilled servant to ride the Aurora Pegasus with her and set off first, while the remaining servants rode griffins. The Pegasus was much faster, so Jiang Yu and her companion quickly left the main force behind.

"My lord, are you sure you don't need to wait? The letter has already been sent out. Perhaps the gentleman has already set off and will receive the letter sooner. I think you should meet up with the gentleman first."

The servants who followed Jiang Yu kept trying to persuade him, and he was also very nervous. After all, he was alone and it was difficult to guarantee the lord's safety, especially since this was in the Forest Empire.

Moreover, no matter where one goes, there is no reason for a woman to go out with only one servant, and his family's lord is of exceptionally high status.

"My lord, for the sake of King Triton, and for the sake of the Seven Seas God, please slow down, even if you have to wait for everyone to come together!"

The servant, riding on the back of the celestial horse, felt as if the wind was about to blow his words far, far away behind him, unsure whether the lord couldn't hear him or simply wouldn't listen. Unexpectedly, the lord replied.

"It's said that this place is quite a distance from where Lanny had the accident. Even if Qingyin receives the message on the way, she will rush to the scene to meet me. Moreover, even I have received the news, so Qingyin must know it by now. I understand what you mean. Even if we get there, the two of us won't be of much use, but Lanny is my friend, and I have to go and see what's going on."

“If that’s the case, the county must have already dispatched a search and rescue team, and the Wilman family also has its own dedicated search and rescue team, so you don’t need to worry too much,” the servant tried to persuade him further.

"So we won't be the only two of us going there. You don't need to say anything more, let's hurry on our way."

Jiang Yu didn't want to say anything more, but urged the heavenly horse to speed up and move forward at full speed. In order to catch up, the servant had no choice but to stop talking and urge the heavenly horse to speed up and follow.

The sea area where Lanny had the accident was closer to the Forest Empire, so by the time Fan Qingyin received the letter on the way, Jiang Yu had already arrived at that sea area.

This sea area has a strange name, the Bobodau Sea. Although it is geographically closer to the Forest Empire, it actually belongs to the Ocean Empire.

The POPDO Sea, as its name suggests, is not a calm sea. On the contrary, it is often stormy and has waves that never seem to end, so few people come to explore this sea area.

What puzzled Jiang Yu was that the Bobdo Sea was quite far from Hollandpur County, and there was no reason for the pearl divers in the county to come to such a distant and unfamiliar sea to dig for pearls. However, the message delivered by the servant said that Lanny had gone missing while pearl diving, and the last place he was seen was right here.

Jiang Yu rode his heavenly horse, surveying the sea below.

It should be a relatively calm time now, but you can still see large waves surging one after another. The seawater is a deep color, and even the sea breeze seems to be saltier than elsewhere. This place is like a sea area where some ferocious beast is hiding, and you can feel the danger just by looking at it.

"Are you sure Lanny disappeared here?" Jiang Yu and his group encountered the search team soon after they arrived.

Perhaps because they were too unfamiliar with this sea area, they did not rush to scatter, but gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Those who had been sent out earlier did not dare to swim far alone and returned one after another, without bringing any useful information.

"My lord, before coming here, Lanny was with me in another sea area harvesting pearls. He told me he was coming to check it out, but then we lost contact with him."

“We pearl divers have a kind of whistle made of conch shells. It can be blown very far on the surface of the sea, and it can also produce special sound waves underwater. We can all feel each other’s voices. I blew it for a long time, but I didn’t hear Lanny’s echo, so I hurried back to the county to look for him.”

The speaker was a blond-haired boy. Unlike Lin Yi's bright and pure gold, the boy's blond hair was darker with some cool orange mixed in, making it look somewhat dull.

"Did he tell you why you came to this area? This shouldn't be the area where you usually harvest pearls," Jiang Yu asked the boy as he steed his celestial horse alighted on the largest ship.

This was the first time the boy had been so close to the lord. The lord's beauty made him blush with embarrassment, but his worry for his friend overcame his shyness, and he spoke:

"Reporting to the lord, I only heard him say that, according to his speculation, the waves in this Bobdo Sea are different from other places, and there should be rare treasures. Also, because it is adjacent to the forbidden sea, there should be no powerful sea monsters or ferocious beasts. So he wanted to go and see it if he had the chance."

"A ban on the sea?" Jiang Yu asked, somewhat confused.

"It's the forbidden sea for us pearl divers. I wonder if you, lord, have ever heard of Morinbia?" the boy replied.

The name Morinbia was quite unique. Jiang Yu quickly recalled the sea area marked with an X in the corner of the parchment map that Lanny had given him before. At that time, Lanny said that this sea area was Morinbia's territory and a restricted area.

Could it be that the territory of Morinbia is right next to the Bobodo Sea?

"You mean the territory of Morinbia is right next to the Bobodo Sea?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Yes, Molinbia is the most powerful sea monster. There's no way there could be any other powerful sea monsters around him. So Lanny thought that the Bobodo Sea was just scary-looking and nothing serious would happen. Who knew something like this would happen? We were careless."

The boy had a bitter look on his face. In fact, he had already tried to persuade his friend, but his friend was so confident that he insisted on going to see for himself.

"That's ridiculous. No one has ever seen a real Morinbia, and its existence is still unknown. Even if such a powerful monster really exists in the sea, can you be sure that it has a sense of territory and doesn't wander around?"

"Besides, you are all experienced pearl divers. Don't you know that the waves at sea are often more dangerous and more likely to take lives than elusive sea monsters?"

"Especially given the bizarre state of the POPDO Sea before us," Jiang Yu couldn't help but scold. But having witnessed the sea's anomalies firsthand, she was even less likely to allow the search and rescue team to focus on their search while disregarding their safety.

"Lord!" The blond boy lowered his head in shame because of the lord's reprimand. Just then, a captain of the search and rescue team came to Jiang Yu.

"Greetings, Lord. I am Locke, the captain of the Wilman family's search and rescue team." Captain Locke had a burly physique like Lanny's father, but looked younger.

"Hello, Captain, what's the progress of the search and rescue?" Jiang Yu nodded slightly, signaling Captain Locke to continue.

“This sea area is too dangerous and too unfamiliar. I can’t let my team members go to their deaths one by one. We have already discussed that we must operate as a team, but this will be less efficient. I must inform you in advance.”

Captain Locke felt somewhat apologetic, since the lord's presence in person meant that the rumors were true and that the lord indeed valued Lenny Wilman.

"Your considerations are very thorough. Let's do it your way. But how do you plan to do it?"

Jiang Yu completely agreed with Captain Locke's words. In fact, it must have been very difficult for the captain of the rescue team belonging to the Wilman family to make such a decision, after all, the missing person was the most outstanding member of this generation.

“We will send the best swimmers to dive down and search, but they will have to be tied with ropes around their waists. So they can’t dive very deep, and they can only search area by area.”

Captain Locke said, "Then we'll go prepare now."

Jiang Yu watched as the search and rescue team began to prepare rapidly, some going into the sea and others shouting loudly on the boat. He then turned to look at the turbulent sea and couldn't help but feel anxious.

The waves in the Bobdo Sea were eerily high; even the county's most stable large ship seemed about to be capsized and shattered by the waves. In this situation, Lanny was all alone...

"My lord, Pegasus..." The servant who had followed Jiang Yu all the way from the Forest Empire on a Pegasus came to her side, hurriedly pointing at the Aurora Pegasus and gesturing for her to look over, but he couldn't quite make out what he was saying.

The servants who were attending to the Pegasus were still in the main force behind them. They hadn't come along because of the urgency of the situation, and he didn't know how to deal with the situation at hand.

Jiang Yu immediately knew what was going on with those two Aurora Pegasus horses. After all, their hometown was the Aurora Empire, so seasickness was understandable.

Looking at the two celestial horses, who were somewhat dejected due to seasickness, Jiang Yu suddenly said, "There's no use for me staying here. Why don't we ride the celestial horses up to the sky and maybe discover something?"

"No, my lord. The wind is too strong, and it will only get colder in the air. Without a carriage, you will fall ill."

The servant panicked even more. He felt incredibly unlucky, and he was sure he would face his master's wrath when he returned.

"Stop talking. Didn't you see that even the Pegasus gets seasick on the ship? Why don't you come with me and ride the Pegasus up to the sky? Maybe Lanny left something on the sea. Please keep your eyes peeled and look carefully."

Jiang Yu could understand the servant's feelings, but now that lives were at stake, everything else should take a backseat.
