We moved to Golden Courtyard

With a hint of intoxication in her eyes, Himeko's smile instantly blossomed when she saw Theresa, causing many young people in the bar who noticed Himeko to freeze in place.

Theresa sat down next to Himeko and asked the bartender for a bottle of whiskey.

"Are you trying to hook up with rich guys?"

"No need, Kai has already caught one, and he paid for all my drinks."

Theresa asked warily, "Who?"

"Your man?"

"It sure is him!"

Seeing Theresa's flustered expression, Himeko couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about you. Why did you come to see me alone? Why didn't you go see Xu Qi?"

Theresa turned her face away and remained silent.

Ji Zi raised an eyebrow, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly asked, "You and Xu Qi... did that?"

"No! No!...It hasn't come to that point..."

Seeing the little girl's flushed face, Himeko immediately understood. She excitedly asked, "Not reaching that stage means... you've made another breakthrough?"

Theresa remained silent for a long time before stammering, "More...more or less..."

"Oh~~" If Himeko still couldn't guess why Theresa had come to see her alone after all this, she might as well give up being her best friend.

"You want me to give you some advice so you can just close the deal! Right~~"

"Ugh, you're so annoying!"

Himeko kept slapping the bar and laughing loudly!

"What are you laughing at! Just tell me if you'll help or not!"

It took Himeko a great deal of effort to stop laughing.

"Don't worry, Theresa, I'll definitely help. But you should think it through."

"what?"

Himeko beckoned to Theresa mysteriously, and the two leaned their heads together. Himeko lowered her voice and said, "You saw the scene during the day, right...?"

Xu Qi is currently like Tang Sanzang, with countless female demons vying for his attention. You can't possibly think you're the only one eyeing Xu Qi, can you?

Theresa's expression changed slightly!

This... was her oversight...

"Putting everything else aside, just look at that Patofilis, she's already started making her move."

Why is it only 'only'?

"In addition, there are countless powerful enemies surrounding you, and I have already observed them all for you."

The blonde Durandal! With Rita's help, she's also extremely competitive. Look at her figure, it's almost as good as mine!

The Seele and Sirin sisters! This is a newly emerging force, backed by the powerful Bronya, and their strength should not be underestimated.

There is another person, Ice Spear Shigure Kira! This person doesn't show off, but actually has the greatest advantage, after all, Xu Qi likes young girls, which is no secret.

Theresa... your advantages aren't that obvious..."

Theresa's two little hands were almost clasped together!

She panicked a little, and even stammered a bit when she spoke.

"Then...what should I...do?"

"Hey, don't panic! You have me, right? Don't worry! With me, Ji Zi, here, what Xu Qi? I'll take him down in no time!"

881. Form a cheese sandwich between two buns.

There are many places to explore and many entertainment venues on this cruise ship, but Mei is already past the age of enjoying adventure.

But Mei knows that Mei really likes this.

There's nothing we can do about it; she was young once too.

In this world, the only person who understands Mei as well as I do is Xu Qi.

Sitting leisurely on the balcony of the guest room, enjoying the warmth of the sun, um... it felt just like the warmth of being enveloped by Xu Qi when we made love.

It can only be said that the thoughts of older married women can be quite strange at times.

"Dr. Mei, aren't you really going out for a walk? Even Prometheus has gone out..."

"Qiluo, I think I told you to always be patient, right?"

Shi Yu Qi Luo was helpless.

She had no choice but to lie down on another deck chair and quietly wait for Dr. Mei to finish sunbathing, thinking to herself – the doctor's skin is really amazing, it didn't get any darker at all!

Naturally beautiful, this is the kind of person you are, right?

"But Doctor, you promised to help me, but now you're..."

Mei glanced at the little girl who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"What's the rush? Haste makes waste."

"It's not that I'm in a hurry! Look, that cat has already made its move so openly! Who knows how many people are eyeing Xu Qi..."

"Not many. Durandal is one, Theresa, the Sielsilin sisters, and Padofelis, whom you mentioned. That's about it."

"What do you mean by 'just'?!" Shigure Kira's voice rose.

"And I might have some bad news for you."

"There are five competitors out there! Is there any worse news than this!?"

"Of course, for example, you might actually have six competitors."

"Hiss!~~"

Shiyu Qiluo gasped.

"Then why are you making me stay here and sunbathe with you!?"

Mei shook her head—she was just too young after all…

"I'm asking you, if you're not sunbathing here, what else can you do?"

"Go find Xu Qi?"

"Then?"

"Forehead……"

The girl was speechless for a moment. She pursed her lips and thought for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion... It seemed that apart from foolishly following Xu Qi, she really couldn't do anything else.

"Who is that sixth person?"

"Of course it's Fu Hua's master, Fu Xian'er?"

I really like a line from Shigure Kira: "Ah!?"

Mei had a confident and composed expression, and the actual situation was indeed as she had imagined, or rather... she was one of the few people who saw things most clearly at the moment.

"I really like a saying from old Shanghai: 'When you're out doing something, everyone needs their own place to work.' That's exactly the situation now."

Durandal's dock is Rita, Theresa has Himeko's help, Silithine has Bronya, and even Padre... haven't you noticed how close she is to Rin?"

Shigure Kira was already drenched in sweat.

"This is why I told you not to rush. If you don't understand the situation clearly and just blindly rush in, you won't even know how you'll lose."

How...how scary!

Is this Mei? No... is this Mei at her peak?!

I thought that Mei, who is almost 20 years old and is currently Xu Qi's absolute queen, was invincible. Who would have thought that the old fox is still the most cunning?

"You young people won't get anywhere. Can you even seduce Xu Qi? You'll only make us a laughingstock. In the end, we'll have to step in."

"Watch carefully and learn well. Don't think that Rita and Durandal have an advantage just because they're with Xu Qi now; actually... everyone's watching them."

Shiyu Qiluo seemed to be deep in thought, then exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh? Dr. Mei, how did you know that Mr. Xu Qi is currently accompanied by Rita and Durandal?"

……

Mei looked at Shigure Kira with a very pitying gaze.

Seriously, if you're not going to eat, you should sit at the kids' table.

······

After lunch, Xu Qi was planning to take a few girls to the outdoor swimming pool for a bit, but he wasn't sure if it would turn into anything unpleasant...

We'll talk about that later.

Just one phone call clearly threw Xu Qi into disarray.

"Hey? Theresa, what's wrong?... Huh?... Who's drunk? Himeko? Still acting crazy?!... Okay, okay, I'll take care of it right now."

Xu Qi turned to Rita and said, "I'm going to the bar on the seventh floor. Himeko is drunk again. I'll keep an eye on her. You guys can wander around as you like, no need to come with me."

Durandal clearly wanted to follow, but Rita quietly stopped her, then smiled and said, "Understood, Master. I will tell Sister Eden."

Rita is so reliable...

Seeing Xu Qi leave, Youlandail grew anxious.

"Why didn't you follow? It was so difficult to get there..."

"At first, you were very reluctant to let Lady Durandal and Xu Qi spend time together, but now you're more anxious than I am?"

This strongest warrior of destiny instantly shed his tough facade, adopting the demeanor of a shy girl, turning his head away without daring to speak.

Rita was itching to see it—Lady Durandal like this is so cute…

"As you saw this morning, with Eden and Anna following along, the others didn't have much of a chance. But now, with Xu Qi being lured into acting alone, our opportunity has actually come..."

But these guys are really quick! They've already made their move in such a short time.

"Huh? What do you mean by 'taking action'?"

Rita stiffly turned her head to look at Durandal, who looked completely bewildered.

Lady Durandal, please sit at the children's table when you eat.

……

They made their way to the bar, and as soon as they entered, they saw Himeko slumped on the bar counter, surrounded by countless overturned glasses, with Theresa cleaning up the mess.

"what happened?"

Xu Qi rushed forward, first righting the overturned wine glass, then hoisting Ji Zi up in his arms.

This woman was drunk and still wasn't behaving herself. Noticing Xu Qi coming over, she slurred, "Um... Xu Qi, you're here... Hehe... Want to have a drink with me?"

She was talking nonsense and even touching him inappropriately. If it weren't for the fact that Himeko's body smelled so good, he would have thrown this woman out.

Theresa also jogged over at this moment, but what Xu Qi found strange was that she didn't pay much attention to Himeko, but instead helped support herself.

"Xu Qi, you've finally arrived! Ji Zi can really drink! I couldn't stop her no matter what I did!"

"Alright, it's a rare treat to be out and about, let's take her back to her room first."

"Ok!"

Where Xu Qi couldn't see, Ji Zi, who should have been drunk, secretly exchanged a glance with Theresa. The two nodded slightly, revealing expressions of having figured out their plan.

As he helped Ji Zi back to her room, Xu Qi could feel a pair of soft touches pressing against his back, causing him to bend over.

Theresa, on the other hand, kept supporting Xu Qi, which led to...

Xu Qi felt as if he was being attacked from both sides.
