Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Not for the sake of shining brightly, nor for the sake of winning first place.

Qingyin said it so well. He seems to have always understood her. It's as if he has stood firmly by her side ever since they chose each other.

For Jiang Yu, no matter what the investigation concludes about time travel, a significant part of her original soul comes from the 21st century. She always believes that she has traveled from the past, and no matter how hard she tries to integrate and adapt, this place will always feel like a new world to her.

In Chen Xin's view, Jiang Yu seemed to fit in very well. Jiang Yu was rational, intelligent, and realistic, and was a perfect match for this alien continent.

Only Jiang Yu herself knew how calm she appeared on the outside, but how terrified she was inside. Fortunately, Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi provided her with very stable support.

She knew something was wrong with her, and with Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi's intelligence and insight, she didn't believe they wouldn't notice something amiss. Yet they chose to completely ignore it, and that trust alone was touching.

Fortunately, they accepted her internal struggle and continued to support her with love. She was also grateful for their love.

Jiang Yu happily held the dresses, her eyes filled with the stars in the sky, just like any girl who loves pretty clothes. She couldn't wait to try on both dresses right now.

"Let me do your hair, okay?" Fan Qingyin looked at her affectionately. "I've done some research in my spare time, let me try, Xiaoyu."

"I'm really looking forward to Qingyin's cooking."

When Jiang Yu and Fan Qingyin appeared on the stairs of the banquet hall, the noisy banquet hall seemed to fall silent for a moment.

People's eyes unconsciously followed the couple walking hand in hand down the stairs.

The man was tall and slender, elegant and noble. He wore the ceremonial robes of the Aurora Empire's divine envoys, and the three gleaming aurora stars on the flowing sash at his shoulders symbolized his status as a high-ranking divine envoy.

Unlike the pure white divine robe, the formal dress was made of a more luxurious fabric, a pearly white cloth unique to the Aurora Empire that could refract iridescent light, woven from a plant fiber unique to the Aurora Empire.

This plant cannot be cultivated, and the fibers produced by cultivation are much duller. In addition, the weaving technique is extremely complex, so this fabric is also extremely expensive.

Aside from the fabric, the patterns and decorations on the divine messenger's robes are also extremely elaborate. Divine messengers of different ranks have different numbers of aurora stars as their symbols, and the overall pattern design is also different.

A young divine messenger like Fan Qingyin, dressed in high-ranking robes, is extremely rare in the three empires. Treasures are too vulgar to him, and money is nothing but dirt.

Anyone could see that this handsome divine messenger, with his gentle aura and compassionate face, was destined for a bright future.

So some people started discussing and comparing: "Isn't this the divine messenger who outshone the young master of the Kong family?"

"If someone like that can't even rank first, I'm really curious about who the Kong family member who ranks first is."

"Honestly, he really seems to have no desires or wants."

Fan Qingyin lagged half a step behind Jiang Yu, standing protectively beside her. Looking at her perfect nape and her confident, unwavering gait, his eyes brimmed with pride and affection. At the same time, he sighed inwardly.

As Xiaoyu grew more beautiful and her fame spread, she attracted the elites of various prominent families at the first annual partner selection event.

Now, Xiaoyu only has two husbands and three seats available. With such attractiveness, the competition will definitely be fierce.

He dressed her up so radiantly, like a fairy princess, but he also had his own selfish motives. He wanted to make those restless guys think carefully about their own worth and show them the insurmountable barrier from the start, so that they would stop daydreaming.

His Xiao Yu is not someone anyone can be worthy of.

Jiang Yu is truly breathtakingly beautiful. If there were still discussions and whispers after the initial shock of seeing Fan Qingyin, then upon seeing Jiang Yu, all words failed them. Everyone could only silently utter the most simple and unadorned praise in their hearts.

So beautiful.

Jiang Yu's dress was only slightly bluer than Fan Qingyin's pearl-white gown. The icy blue was clear and sparkling, and as she walked, the lifelike waves on the hem seemed to surge in layers.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with a small and exquisite diamond crown. Her black curls were beautifully layered and spiraled upwards, making her appear unapproachable and breathtakingly beautiful.

She was also heavily made up, with long, thin eyeliner and repeatedly wrapped pearl veneers, making one sigh that even King Triton's most beautiful daughter in life could not have been more stunning!

As Jiang Yu and Fan Qingyin descended the stairs, people unconsciously gathered around them, yet dared not truly approach. Their noble birth made people want to get to know them, but their overall demeanor was somewhat intimidating.

Jiang Yu was also observing the other people in the banquet hall. Compared to the few lords she had seen sporadically over the past two days, all the lords now staying at Orber Castle had brought their husbands with them.

After nodding to the lords he had met and greeted in the past two days, Jiang Yu soon spotted Lu Shuang and Lan Yu. Lu Shuang had somehow gotten hold of a wheelchair and pushed Lan Yu down to attend the banquet.

Although Jiang Yu already knew Lu Shuang's character, in a world where women could do as they pleased, she disregarded others' opinions and wentssip, pushing her paralyzed husband to attend the lord's banquet, which still earned Jiang Yu's utmost admiration.

So she smiled warmly, and led Fan Qingyin to Lu Shuang's side, taking the initiative to greet her.

"Lord Lu Shuang, Mr. Lan Yu."

Lu Shuang instantly felt gazes converging from all directions. She had just been hesitating whether to greet Lord Jiang Yu and the others, afraid of displeasing them, but she never expected them to come directly to her. She was truly flattered.

"Lord Jiang Yu, you look absolutely stunning today, beyond words." Lu Shuang bowed, then turned to Fan Qingyin, "Greetings, God."

Lan Yu, in her wheelchair, also gave a solemn salute.

Fan Qingyin smiled and returned the greeting.

“It must be tiring for you to push Lan Yu all by yourself. Let Qingyin push him. Let’s be together tonight.” Jiang Yu took Lu Shuang’s hand, and Fan Qingyin readily accepted the wheelchair.

Lu Shuang blushed with anxiety: "That won't do. How can we trouble the divine messenger to push the wheelchair? I can manage on my own."

Lan Yu was also a little flustered and really didn't know what to say.

"You're too kind. I thought we were already friends. I'm afraid this formality will hurt my feelings." Jiang Yu pretended to be stern. "Qingyin is a man after all. Pushing a wheelchair is nothing to him. Besides, we'll just find a place to sit down. It won't make any difference at all."

"It was nothing, please don't be shy," Lian Fanqingyin said.
