Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Chapter 305 Shameless

Jiang Yu's worries were clearly unnecessary. She had previously feared that her flaws would ruin Moya and Qingyin's plans. But she never expected that Shenguang wouldn't even bother to pretend.

When Fan Qingyin is at home, he only wears plain-colored clothes. He doesn't like shiny gemstones or gold. He only pursues comfort and quality, and the most common decoration on his loungewear is embroidery.

But Shenguang was much more flamboyant. He liked all things gorgeous and extravagant, especially cool-toned sapphires and purple jade. In just a few days, he transformed Fan Qingyin's originally simple and elegant wardrobe into something incredibly ostentatious, and even specially ordered people to customize many expensive ornaments.

Hmm, Jiang Yu thinks this might be related to the fact that He has always existed in the identity of a woman, or it might be because He has received so many generations of sacrifices from holy women, and has been subtly influenced by gender suggestions.

After all, he has far more jewels and ornaments on him than she does.

Not to mention, it’s really pretty.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but reflect in her heart. She was so rich, why hadn't she thought about dressing her husband up nicely? She should buy him diamonds, gold, jewelry, antiques and jade every day from now on.

After Jiang Yu rejected Fan Qingyin's advances once again, Shen Guang finally became a little impatient. He complained with some annoyance, "My dear wife, you always reject my advances, but it makes me very sad."

Jiang Yu: "Oh."

She's too lazy to act; it's annoying.

Fan Qingyin tilted her head and looked her over for a while, then, finding it uninteresting, she curled her lips and said, "No matter what, this body is clearly still Fan Qingyin. I am Fan Qingyin, and Fan Qingyin is me. We are well integrated and have become one. No matter how much you can't accept it, this is already a fait accompli."

"Darling, love me the same way you loved him before, is that not okay?"

Shen Guang was speechless. Fan Qingyin had a cold, icy personality, while he was much more enthusiastic than her. This woman really didn't know what was good for her.

"...First of all, please stop making these weird, mushy faces on my husband's upright face, okay?" Fine, I'm laying it all out, let's do it together then. "You can't just talk nonsense. Qingyin is my husband, and you're not. You're a monster who's been around for thousands of years, and a woman at that. You expect me to be all lovey-dovey with you? Aren't you asking too much?"

How shameless.

"!" Shenguang was furious: "Who said I'm a woman? We Shenguang people don't have genders, okay? I can be anything I want to be. To you insignificant humans, I am everything! You ant, you're ridiculous!"

Jiang Louyi: "...Oh my god, I'm so scared."

With a strange smile, Shen Guang reached out and pinched Jiang Yu's chin. Caught off guard, Jiang Yu burst into tears from the pain. She carefully examined Fan Qingyin's face and finally noticed the difference.

Even if Fan Qingyin were cold and expressionless, she would never look like this sinister and cunning person.

“Lord Jiang Yu,” Shen Guang said coldly, “I’m not joking with you. I’ve come all this way to join your family; you should be grateful.”

"Order gems if you want, open a warehouse if you want, isn't that already spoiling you rotten?" Jiang Yu was completely unconvinced. She rolled her eyes and refused to speak.

"That laughable Mu Liu is indulging in useless love, but I won't. To me, you're nothing more than a vassal with a false identity." Shen Guang laughed hysterically again: "But I should thank you, Lord Jiang Yu. If it weren't for your ridiculous pity, how could Mu Liu have been willing to offer me its life-bound tentacles, giving me a helping hand in leaving the Holy Mountain?"

Jiang Yu was somewhat horrified at this moment. This was the first time she had ever heard of it. Ignoring the pain in her chin from being clamped, she grabbed Shen Guang's arm and asked, "What natal antennae?"

"Ha! The innocent Mu Liu didn't tell you~ How devoted and noble!" Shen Guang finally found the story interesting and was interested in explaining it to Jiang Yu: "Mu Liu has several thousand tentacles. Although they can bring the dead back to life for ordinary people, they are useless to me. Only his twelve life-bound tentacles are useful."

"These twelve are his Achilles' heel and his lifeline. He cut off two of them just because you said so. He is truly the world's number one infatuated lover."

Jiang Yu remained silent. Mo Ya had never told her about this. He had paid such a high price, and she knew nothing about it. As she thought about it, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Well, it seems his efforts weren't in vain after all," Shenguang sighed softly upon seeing her expression.

He then released his grip on Jiang Yu's cheek, and feigned a gentle touch on her reddened cheek, as if genuinely feeling sorry for her, softly advising her:

“It won’t affect you at all. I can do better than him. At most, he can only become the Pope. I can bring the whole world to you.”

"Love me as you love him. As long as you're happy, I can wear his skin for the rest of my life. If you'd like, I can even create one that suits you better."

The blood-red eyes that originally belonged to Fan Qingyin were now filled with seduction and enticement. He lowered his head, pressed his cheek close to Jiang Yu's, and murmured intimately.

Jiang Yu felt it was the devil's whisper, and she didn't believe a word of it, because all the conditions were just a prelude to His final words:

"Persuade that Willow to cooperate with me, and together we will unify the three great empires and restore the glory of the gods reborn."

Jiang Yu looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before her, as if she were seeing another person deep in her soul through the skin before her. She knew that Fan Qingyin had always been there. Although she did not understand how he had deceived Shenguang, she believed him unconditionally.

She gave a hazy smile: "You're so confident? The world's decline is inevitable now. Even if you do your best to keep it running, even if everyone is free from disease and has a long lifespan, the day when the world runs out of fuel is just around the corner."

"You are nothing but a remnant of divine light; how can you restore the world's glory? Even if you could unify the three great empires, what use would this broken and dilapidated world be to me?"

Jiang Yu looked at the divine light with a mocking and suspicious gaze, almost with malice: "It's nothing more than the most inconspicuous cluster abandoned among the myriad radiances of the gods. It survived by absorbing the world's fortune during the war between land and sea, and then it cunningly tricked its way into receiving a constant stream of offerings. Now it has the audacity to spout nonsense at me. Where does it get the nerve?"

These past few days, her worries about her husband, her anger at being kept in the dark, her heartache for Moya, and her disgust for the divine light that had taken over Fan Qingyin's body finally had a chance to erupt.

Jiang Yu didn't back down but instead advanced, affectionately placing her hand on the other's chest, gently suppressing Shen Guang's violent anger: "You know, I am not only a lord, but also a merchant. How can I trust you with such an endorsement?"

"This is a rebellion. Putting aside what will happen if it succeeds, what if it fails? You can slip back to the Holy Mountain, but my whole mess will implicate Shen Guang."

She licked her lips: "If you can't show enough sincerity, I can't do business with you."
