Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Seemingly sensing Jiang Yu's hesitation and resistance, Jiang Ren felt somewhat helpless. His daughter, after all, lacked life experience compared to others, and even something considered commonplace in a noble family was difficult for her to accept.

So he thoughtfully explained, "For powerful families like ours, things are always more complicated than for others. I originally trained this person for you, hoping only that you can be safer."

"Don't take it too seriously. Just pretend he doesn't exist. He's not always by your side. He also needs to maintain his own image. He'll be careful about what he shouldn't hear or see."

Having said all that, Jiang Yu couldn't refuse her father's loving intentions any longer. She nodded in agreement and glanced at the shadow servant standing in the shadows by the door. The man stood silently with his head down, and if one didn't pay special attention, he would be completely unnoticed.

"Alright, go and do your own thing." Jiang Ren waved his hand, and the person who was standing in the shadows by the door disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"There's one more thing," Jiang Ren continued, now that only the father and daughter were left in the room.

"It's fine that you didn't attend the partner selection event this year; considering it's your first year of marriage, no one will be too harsh on you. But you'll definitely have to attend next year."

“But Father, the Empire didn’t mandate it, did it?” Jiang Yu asked, somewhat puzzled. She had originally planned not to participate in the next few sessions, and for the time being, she didn’t want to accept any men other than Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi.

"That's true in principle. But women are born to reproduce; you are the ones who give birth to the future of the three great empires. Especially the women of the royal city, you enjoy the most privileged life, are born to receive the tribute of your territory, and have the best men to choose from."

"The Empire's eyes are always on you. With only two husbands and never attending the partner selection meetings, it's no wonder that people are dissatisfied."

"You need to understand that having your own choices is much better than being told what to do by others," Jiang Ren said, expressing his concerns.

"Ah, this..." Jiang Yu said in disbelief, "The Empire has already interfered a lot in marriages, does it mean he's going to force someone onto me?"

That's a bit too shameless.

“There are precedents for this.” Jiang Ren leaned back in his chair. “You need to think about the issue of having children in advance.”

Yes, each woman may have five husbands, but only three of them have the right to father children. Men will fight tooth and nail for this, and if the woman's attitude remains ambiguous, the husbands will be locked in a perpetual, silent war.

"Father, you don't need to worry about that. I've already thought it through." Jiang Yu wasn't lying about this. She might not have told Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi, but she had already planned it out.

"Qingyin and Yi will definitely receive the fertility fruit, and I will bear them children. Even if I participate in the partner selection conference in the future, I will make this clear to other men. After all, it is a two-way selection."

Now it was Jiang Ren who fell silent.

His original concern was that his daughter was too soft-hearted and unable to choose between her husband and her husband, which would lead to a chaotic family life.

Who knew that the daughter's intention was simply to prevent conflict between her husbands, and the matter was already settled from the beginning. It has to be said, Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi are truly lucky.

"Then I'm relieved. Take a good rest at home these few days. You should be able to leave after the banquet at the palace. It's been a long time since you've been home, so have a good time in the capital."

After saying goodbye to her father, Jiang Yu went back to her room.

Surprisingly, Fan Qingyin was not there. Jiang Yu was about to summon a servant to inquire about Fan Qingyin's whereabouts when he heard a soft sound of water coming from the bathroom.

She curled her lips into a smile, tiptoed around the screen, and gently pushed open the bathroom door. A huge seashell-shaped bathtub came into view, its splendor adorned with pearls and gemstones paling in comparison to the figure inside.

Fan Qingyin sat in the bathtub with her eyes closed, her body above the water naked. Her arms were outstretched and rested on the tub, her well-proportioned muscles resembling a gender-swapped version of Venus, elegant yet sexy.

Perhaps it was due to the rising steam, but the faint, soft light emanating from Fan Qingyin became even more pronounced, making him resemble a giant pearl, radiating a lustrous and alluring glow.

His head was slightly raised, as if he were enjoying this bathing time. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his lips were slightly parted. A crystal-clear water droplet swayed on his chin, playfully sliding down his chin, Adam's apple, collarbone, and the groove between his pectoral muscles, leaving a faint trail of water.

Water droplets like these were scattered across his bare skin, shimmering faintly with a diamond-like luster.

Fan Qingyin's long, silvery-white hair, half-wet and cascading down, spread out like a luxurious flower on the water's surface, also obscuring the enchanting spring scenery beneath.

At this moment, he was not a high and mighty god, but more like a sea siren rising from the abyss of darkness, his pure and desireless face silently tempting every life that saw him.

No one can escape his seemingly careless but inescapable trap.

Jiang Yu unconsciously swallowed a few times, feeling a tightness in her nose. She quickly reached out and touched it, afraid of losing face in front of her husband.

Ugh, it's not like I've never slept with anyone before, so why am I so defenseless against watching someone take a bath?

Fan Qingyin had already sensed Jiang Yu's arrival. She opened her eyes unhurriedly, admiring her wife's bewitched appearance.

"Xiao Yu, are you done with your work? Want to come together?" His movements remained unchanged, and a slight smile appeared on his usually aloof face, as if he were exchanging a perfectly normal greeting.

Jiang Yu didn't answer. She simply kicked off her shoes, lifted her skirt, and stepped barefoot onto the large carpet under the bathtub. The waterproof animal fur on the carpet was smooth and slightly stiff.

Jiang Yu lifted her skirt and squatted down next to Fan Qingyin. Ignoring the dampness, she rested her face on his arm and tilted her head to look at him: "Qingyin, did you wait for me here on purpose?"

"You know I can't stand seeing you like this, and that I'll definitely be tempted by you, right?"

As she spoke, she gently rubbed her chin against his smooth, damp arm, then stared into Fan Qingyin's eyes, stuck out her tongue, and licked away a drop of water from his arm.

The person who lost their breathing instantly transformed into Fan Qingyin.

"Xiao Yu..." Fan Qingyin murmured, unconsciously straightening her back, causing the water in the bathtub to slosh.

Some water spilled out as the rocks shook, wetting Jiang Yu's clothes on his chest.

"Oh dear, Qingyin is so naughty, she's made me so wet~" Jiang Yu stood up and looked down at Fan Qingyin, who looked like a fairy in the water.

"There's really nothing I can do..."
