Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

After their playful fight, at Jiang Yu's enthusiastic request, Chen Xin changed into a dress designed by Jiang Yu, instantly transforming her into a completely different person with its rich marine theme.

Forest Empire primarily uses green tones, along with many brown and yellow hues, focusing on plants and forest themes. The clothing and design also have a distinct regional character.

Ocean Empire, on the other hand, is primarily characterized by its maritime style.

The dress Chen Xin changed into was a navy blue halter-neck long dress with a low neckline, a sexy style that Chen Xin likes.

At the junction of the upper arm and the strap, several strings of tiny rice-grain pearls are used as decoration, with small diamonds hanging in the middle. They shimmer and sparkle as you walk, which is very beautiful.

The lower half features a layered cake skirt design, with each layer adorned with wave patterns, showcasing the ocean style to its fullest extent.

Chen Xin sat in front of the mirror, letting Jiang Yu comb her hair. Through the mirror, she looked at her friend's familiar yet unfamiliar face. What remained unchanged was their long-standing friendship.

"Thank goodness I have you. No matter how unfamiliar this place is, no matter what happens to me, I feel at ease knowing that you are in my heart, even though we can't see each other often."

Listening to her friend's heartfelt words, Jiang Yu felt a warmth in her heart. Her hands deftly passed through Chen Xin's long hair and braided a unique long braid for her.

Chen Xin's hair is smooth and straight. Unlike Jiang Yu's fluffy and lazy style, her braids have a capable feel and look more like a long fishbone.

Chen Xin's features were already somewhat sharp, and to soften her look, she chose a few seashells with a pinkish-blue iridescence and pinned them behind her ears. She also adorned her hair with a few round pearls, making her look like a playful elf.

"Don't think I'm nagging, I'm doing this for your own good. There are many things you can't just focus on in front of you, or only consider one or two people. The power struggles among nobles are intricate and complex, and marriage relationships span three great empires. You must be careful." Jiang Yu couldn't help but repeatedly remind Chen Xin, hoping that Chen Xin could think about the deeper aspects and not be indifferent.

"Yes, I know, Xiaoyu. I will think carefully about what you said. You have always been smarter than me since we were little. I am slow and clumsy in interpersonal relationships. I know you have been very worried about me and afraid that something might happen to me."

Then she let out a sigh of relief, pretending to be relaxed, and said happily, "It's just a bit awkward right now, but it'll be fine once Zhong Qin and I officially get married. We've already agreed on that."

"Given his background, have you thought about how you're going to get past the empire?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.

“It’s rare for nobles to take a fancy to commoners and servants, but it does happen. Don’t worry, I’ve already found out some details. Registering a household here is much simpler than back home,” Chen Xin said confidently.

Speaking of which, the owl-shaped app that Xiaoyu recommended is really useful, very good, and powerful. She gave it a big thumbs up in her mind.

Hearing that Chen Xin had her own plans, Jiang Yu finally felt somewhat relieved.

"I'll show you around my manor in a bit, then you can rest well today, and then I'll take you on a tour of my territory."

"That's wonderful! I've long heard that Lord Jiang Yu's territory is a jewel of the Azure Coast. I must take a good look around."

The two finally emerged from their room and saw Lin Yi and Zhong Qin waiting outside. They were sitting in a small reception room at the end of the corridor. Lin Yi had his legs crossed, one hand supporting his forehead, and his eyes closed as if he were dozing. Zhong Qin, on the other hand, was flipping through a picture book.

Hearing them leave, the two men reacted quickly.

Zhong Qin was the first to speak. He quickly stood up, put the picture book back on the shelf, strode over to Chen Xin, took her hands, looked her up and down with admiration, and loudly praised her:

"Oh my god, Xin Xin, you look so good in this outfit! I almost didn't recognize you because of your sudden change in style."

Chen Xin was clearly pleased; her eyes were almost squinting from smiling.

"Yes, I think it looks great too! I was going to change in the guest room, but Xiaoyu suggested I try the Oceania style, and I immediately got interested. Look, Xiaoyu even did my braids, isn't it pretty?"

Lin Yi walked to Jiang Yu's side and took her hand as well, but mindful of the guests present, he only gently scratched her palm with his finger to show affection.

"The guest rooms are all arranged, and the luggage is all settled. I have arranged a carriage and griffins so that we can visit the manor at any time."

“I trust your arrangements.” Jiang Yu squeezed Lin Yi’s hand back. “Xin Xin and the others might want to wander around the castle first, I’ll go with them. If you have something to do or are tired, go ahead and do your thing, or take a break.”

"I don't have anything else to do. I won't feel tired if I'm with you. I don't want to be alone. I want to be with you," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Oh my~ How cheesy~ General Lin Yi, you're great, I'm rooting for you~" Chen Xin listened to the whole thing and gave Lin Yi a thumbs up.

"Alright, stop teasing us. Let me show you around." Jiang Yu quickly took over and led Chen Xin and the others downstairs.

As soon as they arrived on the first floor, they saw Fan Qingyin and Xiang Lan walking side by side from the direction of the restaurant.

"Shall we begin the castle tour?" Fan Qingyin walked closer and nodded gently to Chen Xin and Zhong Qin.

“Yes, Xin Xin and the others want to see the castle first, and then go to see other parts of the manor. How are you all going to go together?” Jiang Yu was still holding Lin Yi’s hand and couldn’t let go now, so she just asked naturally. Fortunately, Fan Qingyin didn’t mind.

"I went downstairs after I changed my clothes, intending to wait for you in the hall. The servants told me that the messenger was in the kitchen, so I took the liberty of going to check it out." Xiang Lan's dark blue hair was still neatly tied back, and she had changed into a light blue knight's shirt, making her look much more refreshed.

"Mr. Xiang Lan truly lives up to his reputation as someone from the capital of the Ocean Empire. He knows the local specialties like the back of his hand, and he was a great help when confirming the menu."

"You flatter me, divine messenger. This is nothing to boast about." Xiang Lan felt a little embarrassed by Fan Qingyin's courteous treatment of him.

Meanwhile, Zhong Qin felt uneasy after comparing Lin Yi's attitude towards him.

Aside from polite greetings, he could sense that General Lin Yi didn't want to talk to him. Later, he tried to find several topics to discuss, but they were either brushed aside or received almost no response.

The barrier of social status is indeed insurmountable.

Although he was resentful, Zhong Qin didn't show it on his face; instead, his face lit up even more.

Fan Qingyin also noticed the excessively handsome Zhong Qin, but only glanced at him briefly before turning her gaze away.
