I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 237 Kitchen King Competition

[Ahhh, is this something I can watch for free?! Uniforms + cat ears, what an amazing combination!]

[Help! This waist, these legs, this pale skin! Captain Chen, arrest me with your eyes!]

[You should have said so earlier! This live-streaming sales event is so entertaining, I'd be staying right here in the studio! I'd definitely give Station Master Xu a boost in sales!]

[Brother Qi is so handsome, and this guy is so handsome too, it's so hard to choose, they're all different types of handsome guys...]

[A divine scene~ The aloof Black Cat Detective x the wild and handsome Fox, with the ultimate winner in life, Station Master Xu, in the middle!]

Chen Su's uniform was neatly arranged by the stylist, and he walked steadily toward Xu Ying.

The black cat ears on his head swayed gently with his steps, creating a strikingly cute contrast against his austere police uniform.

"Station Chief Xu." He nodded slightly, his cold voice softening unconsciously: "The batch of poached desert lizards has been found. I'll bring them to you tomorrow."

"That's great!" Xu Ying's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, and her pink overalls made her skin look as white as snow. She looked like a flower blooming in the desert.

The two seemed to be whispering to each other.

"Team Leader Chen is truly dedicated."

Qi Xiao had somehow appeared on Xu Ying's other side, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over Chen Su's uniform, his tone laced with a hint of teasing.

His fox ears stood up alertly, and his tail swayed gently behind him.

Chen Su straightened up, his black cat ears twitching slightly: "President Qi is also very enthusiastic."

His tone was calm, but his long, slender fingers unconsciously adjusted his cuffs.

Caught in the middle, Xu Ying looked left and right, then tilted her head in confusion: "You all look like this..."

Xu Ying blinked and gestured with her hands, "Like two little animals fighting for territory."

[Ahhh, the site administrator has hit the nail on the head! Isn't this just a scene of cats and foxes vying for attention?!]

[Help! That head tilt is amazing! The site administrator is such a good metaphor, waaaaah!]

Whether they're fighting for territory or for Station Master Xu's attention, you know the answer yourself...

At this moment, a fourth exaggerated voice rang out: "President Qi, Captain Chen, please stop fighting!"

Ning Zexi made a dazzling entrance with an air of nonchalance, his bright yellow jumpsuit making him shine like a little sun.

What's most eye-catching are the two fluffy brown bear ears on his head, which tremble with his exaggerated movements.

What's even more amazing is that he was wearing matching bear paw gloves and deliberately walked in a bear-pouncing pose.

Ning Zexi twirled around, the various bear keychains hanging from his work clothes jingling. He deliberately squeezed between Qi Xiao and Chen Su, looking them up and down, "Don't be so serious, you two!" He nudged them with his elbow, "Come on, give us a smile!"

The live chat burst into laughter at Ning Zexi's appearance:

The ultimate solution to the chaotic situation has arrived!

[Mischievous kids interfere in the cat-fox battle]

[Although Ning Zexi is quite handsome, why do I always feel like laughing when I see him? He's not in the same style as the other two handsome guys; he's a bit abstract.]

Xu Ying laughed out loud at Ning Zexi's antics, reaching out to poke the bear ears on his head: "Are you trying to bring the whole zoo here?"

The three assistant hosts were all present, and the director reminded them through the headset: "OK, the guests are all ready, let's move on to the next segment, promoting packaged instant fried rice noodles!"

*
"Next up is our Xicun specialty packaged fried rice noodles!"

"Dear viewers~" Xu Ying's sweet voice was like taking a bite of a crisp cantaloupe, "Today we're going to have a special cooking competition!"

"Please welcome our three master chefs to the stage!"

"Whoa—" The cheers from the villagers instantly ignited the atmosphere.

Qi Xiao strode to the left-hand counter, the diamond stud in his left ear shimmering in the sunlight, making his tanned skin appear even more healthy and sexy. Five fennec foxes suddenly appeared, the fluffy little balls of fur sitting neatly in a row.

The youngest fox, Xiao Wu, came running over, apron in its mouth, its round eyes glistening with moisture as it looked at him.

"My sweetheart." Qi Xiao's cold and stern eyes softened instantly, and his slender fingers gently rubbed the little guy's head.

As he put on his apron, the silver bracelet on his wrist glittered under the light, causing the little foxes to squeak and spin around.

Chen Su, standing in the middle, was adjusting the apron straps with a blank expression, his slender fingers smoothing out every wrinkle.

Chief Serval walked in with elegant cat steps, followed closely by Little Sand Cat. The two cats stood straight on either side of each other, looking like two loyal guards.

"Chef Ning has arrived!"

Ning Zexi slid into the shot.

He exaggeratedly pushed up his heart-shaped sunglasses and struck a rock-and-roll pose: "Where's my support team?"

There was silence.

Only a chubby Pallas's cat slowly strolled over, perfunctorily rubbed against his trouser leg, and then "plop" lay down flat.

Because there are no other small animals here, the space is spacious.

"Hey!" Ning Zexi squatted down and poked its belly. "Can't you give me some face?"

The Pallas's cat rolled its eyes at him and turned its back to him.

Qi Xiao's movements were fluid and graceful; his slender fingers deftly handled the ingredients, captivating the five little foxes.

When he skillfully flipped the wok, the little ones all exclaimed "Wow!" in unison, and the most lively one even rolled around on the ground in excitement.

The situation was quite different for Chen Su.

His one-handed shovel technique was clean and efficient, and his control over the heat was impeccable.

The black serval sheriff nodded solemnly from time to time, while the little sand cat busied itself fetching seasonings for him, acting like a dutiful little helper.

Ning Zexi's demeanor suddenly changed; he frantically sprinkled chili powder into the pot, choking and sneezing repeatedly.

The Pallas's cat was startled awake from its sleep and moved away in disgust, but accidentally stepped on chili powder, causing it to bristle and jump up.

During the tasting session, Xu Ying sampled each of the three people's creations.

Her eyes lit up when she tasted Qi Xiao's fried noodles;
When she tasted Chen Su's spicy special edition, she drank half a bottle of water before she recovered.

As for Ning Zexi's "hellish spiciness," she only dared to take a small bite before she was so spicy she jumped up and down.

During the voting process, Qi Xiao and Chen Su received roughly the same number of votes.

When Xu Ying held up the cartoon chef badge featuring the image of Fox Four Treasures, the little foxes around Qi Xiao huddled together nervously.
The little sand cat and the black serval beside Chen Su unconsciously slapped their tails against the ground.

"My vote," Xu Ying winked slyly, "is for Qi Xiao!"

The five little foxes cheered and jumped for joy, circling around Qi Xiao.

Chen Su's lips tightened into a straight line, and the little sand cat rubbed against his trouser leg in a comforting manner.

Meanwhile, Ning Zexi was fast asleep, completely oblivious to his disappointed expression.

"I'll definitely win next time!"

Ning Zexi shouted defiantly, only to be choked by his own chili peppers and cough.

The Pallas's cat was finally woken up. It gave him a disdainful look and slowly strolled over to Xu Ying's feet, begging for a pat.

Qi Xiao held the Chef God badge given to him by Xu Ying in his hand, smiling gently, but when he noticed Chen Su staring at Xu Ying, his fox ears twitched.

The winner of the fried rice noodle competition has been decided, but the battle in some people's hearts seems to have only just begun.
