We moved to Golden Courtyard

No? Can he... can he last that long?

Clearly, these two novices simply thought that half an hour of doing this kind of thing seemed like a long time, and they were completely unaware of Xu Qi's peak performance.

If it weren't for the need to end the battle as quickly as possible, do you believe I could do this for half a day?

Well, even Xu Qi himself didn't quite believe it when he said that.

I still vividly remember that time in the Golden Courtyard bathroom when all my girlfriends took turns on me; I was almost drained dry...

When Pado brought in her grilled fish, Mei was still wiping the sweat from her temples, her face glowing with a radiant, moist glow, as if she had just been nourished.

And Sakura is the same.

I guess only Xu Qi could do something like this without blushing or skipping a beat for 30 minutes.

But in the end, the floodwaters were released and given to Sakura; after all, she was the winner.

"To be honest, Pado, is grilled fish the only dish you know how to cook?"

"Hehe~~"

The cat scratched her head. What could she do? She was a cat, after all. Before, when she went out to buy goods with Xu Qi, they had grilled fish for supper.

The boss understands her well, which is why even Rin said so.

Since Xu Qi knows you so well, why don't you make grilled fish? That's called showing your true self!

All I can say is that every coach did their best.

I wonder what Theresa's coach is doing. If I were Theresa, I would definitely ask at this moment—Where are my teammates? Where are my teammates? Help me!

Seele and Sirin, the two best friends, were quite amusing; they each made a bento box.

This must be a competition to see who can bring food for Xu Qi at the company later.

Unfortunately... Xu Qi only eats buds every day.

When Fu Xian'er, the last contestant, took the stage, a nourishing and yin-tonifying medicinal dish effectively sealed the victory! Xu Qi even wondered if he could announce the champion's identity ahead of time.

This is true female power!

After all the contestants had finished tasting their dishes, Xu Qi and the other two went to the kitchen.

If this were a variety show, the next segment would definitely be the mentors' comments—were you doing it on purpose or by accident? I did it on purpose.

Mei stepped forward, coughed, and then said, "To ensure that the contestants do not give up the competition in advance, I will only announce the first and second place winners of each match."

They're quite good at having fun.

"First place! Contestant Fu Xian'er!"

Amidst the applause, Fu Xian'er smiled calmly, "Flowers bloom and fade, all returning to dust."

Byd has been awarded MVP, right?

"Second place! Shigure Kira!"

This time, even the people who came to watch the competition in the kitchen couldn't help but applaud, and Shigure Kira also struck a very cute pose.

"A perfect performance, a perfect idol, ☆（<ゝω?）~Kira☆～"

It was definitely the settlement dialogue!

"Alright, don't be discouraged if you didn't get first or second place, but the next round... should be quite interesting. Everyone can look forward to the questions Miss Eden will bring you."

"Miss Mei is right."

The kitchen door suddenly opened, and when everyone saw Eden's elegant figure, almost everyone stood there dumbfounded.

The cheongsam clung to Eden's body, outlining her exquisite curves, and the light skirt swayed gracefully with her steps, as if she had stepped out of a painting.

The breathtaking scene before him left Xu Qi speechless. He murmured, "A cheongsam... could it be..."

As if hearing Xu Qi's words, Eden gently walked to Xu Qi's side, her slender hand lightly stroking the other's cheek as she said, "That's right..."

The next event is a costume ball, and this time the theme is—cheongsam! Please move to the Republic of China Experience Hall on the cruise ship, where we have prepared plenty of costumes for you to change into.

Please be sure to... show your most beautiful side.

Xu Qi turned to look at Eden—it turns out her sister knew everything…

During the cruise, although he didn't say it, his sister knew which place he liked the most.

And now, she has changed into a gorgeous cheongsam...

Even Mei had to praise Eden's choice of topic; it was truly brilliant.

"If my younger brother likes it, then of course we should satisfy him, right? And there's no need to feel bad that he can only look at it but not eat it."

Eden whispered in Xu Qi's ear.

"If you'd like, on the last night of our journey home, everyone can change into cheongsams, and then..."

Oh no, the flames that had just dissipated after working on Mei and Sakura's side have now risen up again.

Sister...you're really making your little brother so happy he'll never want to leave...

······

The group slowly moved to the Republic of China Experience Hall on the cruise ship. In fact, everyone had visited this place during the day, and many girls thought so at that time.

If it were Xu Qi... he would definitely like this place very much.

When Xu Qi and his group arrived, they discovered that not only the contestants and their coaches, but also Mebius and Vervière were there!

Xu Qi couldn't help but step forward, put his arm around the two girls' slender waists from behind, and asked, "Are you picking out clothes?"

"Really? Not only am I picking out clothes, but I'll also be a judge later." Judging from Wilvi's cheerful tone, it seems she's going to be a grand magician today.

"You're still a lecherous fellow, the first thing you did was hug and grope me."

"Hehe...wait, a judge?"

Eden leaned close to Xu Qi's ear and whispered, "I'll be the referee for this match, and you and the professors will be the judges in the innermost dressing room."

Oh……

But wait, the innermost changing room is for judges?

Xu Qi's face paled—meaning, it was yet another locked room with absolutely no escape!?

887. Now, it's Möbius's mealtime.

"Come on, everyone, come over here for a moment."

Eden simply waved, and easily became the center of attention.

After all, the charm that a woman as stunning as Eden exudes when she wears a cheongsam far exceeds people's imagination.

In reality, the so-called Republic of China experience hall on the cruise ship was just a simple setup.

Rickshaws, Shikumen houses, and those old-fashioned tram tracks.

However, due to the altitude and the nature of the ship, everything was fixed in place to prevent it from moving around in the wind and waves.

In this experience center full of old Shanghai charm, there is a narrow alley that can only accommodate one person at a time. Walking in, you can see a vermilion-lacquered gate.

Upon opening it, a fragrant aroma filled the air, and upon closer inspection, one discovered that it was filled with a dazzling array of magnificent garments!

"The clothes here are mainly for display, but don't be shy today. If you pick something you like, just take it and wear it."

If you really like it, you can take it, but you'll have to tell me the item number.

As expected of Sister Eden, this is her superpower—Rich!

However, these cheongsams...

Xu Qi smacked his lips, his eyes filled with anticipation.

It's not so easy to fill out a cheongsam.

Having a good figure is one aspect, but most importantly, one must have the temperament to match the cheongsam, which is the garment that best showcases the charm of an oriental beauty.

In this round, Xu Qi actually favored Fu Xian'er the most.

Although her figure... well! Those who know, know.

However, some cheongsams don't necessarily require you to have a perfect figure.

Fu Xian'er could have chosen a high-slit style, allowing her fair skin to be glimpsed as she walked, which would have been incredibly alluring.

However, Xu Qi won't offer any reminders; he also needs to ensure basic fairness.

As for the others...

Perhaps Yulandel and Shigure Kira still have some advantages.

Seele is great too! I remember her wearing it once when I was at Seele's house, and it left a deep impression on me.

As for the remaining little girls... the test that Sister Eden gave them was truly torturous...

Just then, a set of clothes suddenly fell on Xu Qi's head.

He hastily moved the clothes aside, only to find that Mei had thrown them at him. At that moment, his first wife was staring at him with obvious pleasure, saying, "Here, go change your clothes first?"

"Change clothes? Mine?"

"It's a Republic of China era experience hall. If the girls wear cheongsams, the men should naturally change into Zhongshan suits as well, that's what makes it a good match."

I wore a black suit to impersonate a member of the Axe Gang, which actually suited old Shanghai quite well...

Of course, despite his complaints, Xu Qi obediently walked into the spacious dressing room. He was also quite curious to see what he would look like in a Zhongshan suit.

Actually, calling it a changing room is a bit of an exaggeration; it's more like a reception room. The small room has clothes racks, a sofa, and everything you need, and it's quite spacious.

As Xu Qi took off his outer shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, he was about to continue changing when he suddenly felt that something was wrong...

He turned around abruptly and found that Mebius and Velvi had both followed him in!

"Professor? Sister Vilvie? You..."

"Huh? Isn't this the judges' room? They'll come in after they change their clothes."

Oh, that's normal then...

But as soon as Xu Qi put his hand on his waistband, he frowned again.

"Um... I need to change my clothes."

“We know, right?” Mebius nodded matter-of-factly.

Wilvi also said, "You can change it, I won't bother you."

"Oh..." Xu Qi hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Aren't you going to turn around? Or... look away a little?"

Do you need it?

"I don't think so."

At this moment, you're all united like one person!?

Okay... I'm not losing out anyway.

With a crisp "click!", the belt was undone.

Now, except for his underwear, Xu Qi was basically under the gaze of Mebius and Velvi, and he felt... kind of weird...

Mebius was even clicking his tongue and saying, "What a powerful and masculine body! At least half of it is my doing."

"Oh right, you take care of the body, and I'll take care of the machinery."

"Heh, don't talk like you've never tasted it before. It must have made you want to come back again and again... Heh, you've been made a mess of yourself by my creation."

"I'd also like to see what kind of impressive figure Professor Möbius will be?"

"At least better than you."

"You'd better not just be stubborn."

Xu Qi felt their conversation was getting increasingly dangerous, so she thought she should quickly put her clothes back on to avoid anything bad happening next.

As soon as his hand touched the Zhongshan suit he was about to change into, Möbius grabbed it.

"Uh! Professor?"
