Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Chapter 276 3 men, 1 drama

“Choose me.” Keslan held Jiang Yu’s hand to his chest, looking at her with a do-or-die attitude.

Jiang Yu was silent for a few seconds, then slowly smiled. She didn't pull her hand back, nor did she show any resistance.

"I thought you came to negotiate, but I didn't expect you to recommend yourself."

Keslan paused for a moment, then tightened his grip on Jiang Yu's hand, a rare hint of nervousness in his voice: "I need a definite answer."

"I could tolerate your rejection, but now that you've given me hope, every minute and every second is torture for me."

Moya snorted coldly, sensing the change in Jiang Yu's state of mind first. He retracted the rampaging tentacles, seemingly unable to bear watching Keslan's behavior. With a flash, he disappeared into thin air.

Lin Yi stepped forward with a dark face: "You've gone too far! The deal isn't even finalized yet, and you're already here demanding an explanation. Don't you have any manners?"

"Did I hear that right? You're talking to me like that?" Keslan picked at his ear, thinking that this general's IQ was really a bit off.

I've never seen anything like it before, someone being polite to gangsters.

Fan Qingyin remained silent, but only he knew that beneath his calm exterior lay a filthy pool of negative emotions—jealousy, fear, and resentment—mixed together.

That was a pool of filth reflecting his narrow-mindedness, selfishness, and malice.

He closed his eyes, suppressing his surging emotions, and said, "Chief Keslan, you are too impatient."

"Ha, of course I can't compare to your composure, God," Keslan scoffed. "With your extensive network of information, you must know what that person from the Forest Empire did, right?"

"You know, the internal affairs of the Forest Empire are currently in a mess. Even that person who is deeply embroiled in the vortex has to spare the time to trip me up. How can I not be anxious?"

Jiang Yu had been listening quietly, but upon hearing this, she withdrew her hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "The Forest Empire? Kong Yiche?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Keslan's eyes as he spoke with a half-smile, "How heartbreaking. I haven't even said anything yet, and the lord has already asked about Commander Kong. Ah, as expected, you prefer someone like Kong Yiche, don't you?"

"He's such an eyesore. Should I do something before Owl disbands? It's like he's the only one causing trouble for everyone."

Jiang Yu ignored Keslan's nonsensical remarks and turned to look at Fan Qingyin with a puzzled expression.

The power struggle within the Forest Empire has reached a fever pitch. At such a crucial juncture, could Kong Yiche be up to something else?

"Don't worry, Xiaoyu. It's just a fight between men."

With a few words, Fan Qingyin conveyed the meaning to Jiang Yu, and also glossed over the bloody battles between men for the position of partner to their beloved.

Seeing Jiang Yu's thoughtful expression, Fan Qingyin gave Keslan a warning look.

Unfortunately, unlike Lin Yi who was completely convinced of his worth, and Mo Ya who accepted and compromised with him, Keslan remained like a wild and unruly beast, looking back at him defiantly with undisguised provocation and malice in his eyes.

Fan Qingyin pursed his thin lips. It seemed that Keslan had also seen through his mind. That was fine. Since they both harbored malice towards each other, there was no need to maintain a superficial peace.

I'm just worried that Xiaoyu will be unhappy.

“You don’t need to mind Kong Yiche. It’s like you two are getting a buy-one-get-one-free deal.” Jiang Yu was tired and sat down on the sofa.

“You are you, and he is him. My marriage to you has nothing to do with him,” Jiang Yu said bluntly. “But if something happens to you because of Kong Yiche, I will abandon you.”

"?" Keslan said with dissatisfaction, "You only allow him to make moves, but not me to fight back. You're letting him dominate me."

"Why would I favor him?" Jiang Yu rolled her eyes. "I don't even want to guess how resourceful you guys are. It's a shame you're not spies."

Keslan stepped forward, about to say something, but Jiang Yu cut him off: "Didn't you want a definite answer?"

"When Lin Yi takes his next vacation, I will go to the royal city with him to collect the fertility fruit. I will have the opportunity to meet His Majesty and His Highness, and I will definitely give you an answer then."

Keslan gave a wry smile. Jiang Yu was a woman who was extremely meticulous and cautious. Didn't she know that as long as she gave a word of affirmation, he could step in and solve everything? It was the man who should be the one to overcome all difficulties.

"That's it." Jiang Yu decided to end the conversation.

She pointed to the door: "Chief Keslan, for the sake of our reputations, I don't want to see you again anytime soon, especially not at an inappropriate time like when you come to my room without permission."

"You're not coming to my house to see me anyway..." Keslan muttered resentfully, his voice low but Lin Yi heard him clearly.

He widened his eyes and shouted, "You still want Xiaoyu to visit you? Your home? Your cave is more like it!"

"Let's fight, you trash who only knows how to talk." Keslan beckoned with his finger.

"Let's fight! Who's afraid of who!" Lin Yi wasn't afraid at all anymore. He was ready to fight Moya if he wasn't convinced. What was Keslan compared to him?

"If you want to fight, go outside and fight. Don't embarrass yourself in Hollandpur," Fan Qingyin said coldly.

Jiang Yu was getting impatient. They say three women make a drama, but three men together can be quite a headache.

She stood up, clapped her hands to attract the attention of the men, and said, "There's no need to go out and find a special place. Why don't you just stay in my room? Whether you're arguing or having a friendly discussion, it doesn't matter."

"My room isn't small, so please make yourselves at home. Just remember to restore it to its original state if you damage anything." Then she gently called out to Moya, smiling as she looked at the three somewhat dumbfounded men in front of her.

"I'll find somewhere to sleep myself. I hope you'll have left peacefully by the time I come back tomorrow, okay?"

Suddenly, a thick tentacle emerged from the void and gently wrapped around Jiang Yu's waist.

Jiang Yu placed one hand on Moya's tentacle and made a farewell gesture with the other: "Goodbye everyone, best wishes."

After Jiang Yu disappeared along with the tentacles, the tense atmosphere between the three men seemed to vanish as well. They stood silently in place, speechless for a long time.

"Damn it, he got off too easy," Keslan cursed first.

Lin Yi slowly turned his head to look at Fan Qingyin: "You really went all out, you taught me way too much, even the essence of 'not competing is also competing' can be passed on to you without reservation?"

"..." Fan Qingyin's face finally darkened, and she turned and walked towards the door.

He felt his head buzzing, and gritted his teeth as he mentally complained that it was impossible to find a decent person among the three of them.

Annoying.
