I'll even show you crossdressing men.

What I'm so proud of is nothing compared to what others have; it's truly pathetic.

This is just him overthinking things under these circumstances; the real situation isn't that complicated.

But since he's already thought that way, there's no need to care about anything else.

“I… am willing…” In the past, he was the one who would let men lick his feet—although he had never tried it because he disliked it.

But now, knowing full well that Ji Xiuyu is likely a man, looking at those feet and hearing his words, he somehow found himself unable to resist.

He stuck out his tongue and gently licked from the toes.

At that moment, he set aside his pride as a man, and even his pride as a human being, and became like a little dog.

However, Ji Xiuyu inexplicably liked this feeling.

"Young Master...I really want to lick it..." Ji Xiuyu was so tempting there that if there weren't other people around, Bai Yu would have knelt down and done it.

To her, everything about the young master was wonderful.

Unfortunately, this guy beat me to it. How infuriating!

Time continued, for an unknown amount of time, until, with a reminder from Canghua in the system, the ceremony was completed.

Ji Xiuyu gained a second gender-swapped genius subordinate, while Chen Nuo, within a cocoon of white light, slowly transformed into a true woman.

Meanwhile, offstage, the fifth match was underway: the duel between Bai Ke and his enemy...

P.S.: My internet cable broke yesterday and was only fixed today... This is the second day after I paid the renewal fee that my internet went down...

Chapter 264: The Eliminators

"The next match will be between Bai Ke, one of the initiators of this competition, and the red-clad beauty, Lolonaer. Judging from their previous performances, Lolonaer is clearly superior. However, it is understood that Bai Ke has not fully revealed his strength; he is known for his strategic gameplay, but he is actually weaker in close combat. Nevertheless, this is a match worth looking forward to. So, please welcome these two contestants."

The host gave a spiel on stage, and after the previous matches, especially the battle between Chen Nuo and Liu Lianxin, the two beautiful ladies with white stockings and long legs, the audience, who had basically lost interest, were now reignited with passion.

After all, many of these contestants look strange. Although they have the skills, they are not good-looking, so they don't have as many fans as those unique and beautiful girls.

Lolonaer is one of the three most outstanding contestants. Her strength is a mystery, but she should be among the top three contestants.

Dressed entirely in red—red stockings and red high heels—she looked like a ball of fire. Yet, her expression was that of a girl with an icy demeanor. How could she not attract the attention of some masochistic souls?

As for the others, she is an exceptionally beautiful girl, so it's normal to like her, right?

"You're strong, but I won't lose." Wearing glasses and a white shirt, Bai Ke appeared polite. Looking at him alone, how many people would think that the word "freak" wouldn't seem out of place applied to him?

“Everyone says that, but very few can actually do it.” Lolona’s cold, pretty face remained unchanged as she looked at Bai Ke and simply replied with this sentence.

"I can do it. After all, I'm going to be Xiuyu's man..." He pushed up his glasses, his slender fingers complementing his gentle and handsome face, making him look quite good.

Many girls were surprised. Why didn't this person have such charm before? It seems that he gets very happy as soon as he gets involved with Ji Xiuyu?

“He’s mine.” Lolonaer hadn’t wanted to say it, but his words made her mind.

It's one thing to spend your days with those women, but you, a man like you, want to get him from those flashy, cheap women?

"Then let's take a look..." Bai Ke stopped talking nonsense and suddenly appeared in front of her, as if he had dropped something behind her.

"Thud~" A blurry afterimage appeared as Lolona stopped, her skirt fluttering. The boy, however, had already been kicked far away, rolling on the ground and landing outside the arena.

"It hurts so much..." However, out of Lolona's sight, Bai Ke, who was about to hit the ground, mysteriously disappeared and appeared behind her, holding a whirlwind ball in his hand, which he then struck at Lolona's back.

But the girl didn't even need to look; she kicked Bai Ke away with a back kick.

However, before he was kicked away, he threw something out, which landed in a hidden place.

"Pfft..." Even though he was prepared, the girl's attack still caused him serious injury, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, he wasn't knocked out of the arena this time, but landed inside.

Despite this, something still seemed off about him; his hand, which had just blocked her attack, was trembling slightly, as if he were seriously injured.

"What savage power! Even when I tried to block it with my hand, the force still slammed into me, shaking my very core. Your true strength is definitely not at the sixth rank. Is it fun to come here and bully us? Besides, you're violating the rules of the competition, aren't you?"

It was certain that he couldn't win, and Bai Ke never even considered using his regular abilities to fight her.

But he was confident because he had already noticed something was wrong with the girl, which is why he said that.

As long as the judges discover and address this point directly, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

"Her strength has not exceeded the sixth rank; it has always been within the sixth rank, and she has never used any abilities that exceed the sixth rank. Moreover, we have not detected any evidence that her strength exceeds the sixth rank, so she has not violated any rules."

Unfortunately, Alicia, one of the judges, thwarted Bai Ke's plan, leaving him shaking his head in disbelief.

"Sure enough, if we had discovered it earlier, it wouldn't have mattered whether we discovered it now or not. It's just that I'm really unwilling to accept it. I feel like it's not good that we lost like this."

His last hope was shattered. But Bai Ke didn't want to give up. Instead of continuing his attack, he ran around the field, constantly dropping things in his hands.

Lolonaer stood in the same spot, not moving an inch, watching indifferently what he was going to do.

"Then let's go..." This was a gamble for him; if he won, he would win this time.

Faced with such an opponent who was simply no match for him, he could only use all his means to win.

"You're annoying." As it turns out, if you only have wisdom but not enough strength, you can't fight against an absolutely powerful enemy.

The moment he stopped to make a move, Lolona appeared in front of him and punched him, sending him flying into the stands, crashing through a half-meter-thick wall, and engulfed in rubble and dust.

"Call the rescue team! Someone's dead!" The host, who was about to give his commentary, was immediately dumbfounded by this scene. What was he supposed to say? This guy had just killed the other person! What was there to say? Save him!

“No need, he’s fine.” Alicia remained calm, showing no particular emotion. Her words left them somewhat bewildered, and they looked towards that spot.

"Cough cough..." Bai Ke stood up, clutching the spot where he had just been hit. He looked at the girl standing there, shook his head, and said nothing.

She had poured all her strength into herself, but the moment he crashed into the wall, she channeled all her power into the wall, saving him from a fatal blow.

I don't know if she deliberately scared herself like that, or if she used too much force at the beginning and only realized it later.

Regardless, at least he survived.

"I lost." Shaking his head, Bai Ke, despite being injured, still bowed politely and left.

Faced with such a contestant, what could he possibly do? The way the competition developed from the very beginning was something he hadn't anticipated, and it far exceeded his capabilities.

At this moment, the boy, who had previously paid little attention to power, suddenly realized its importance.

If I were a little stronger, there wouldn't be any problems.

"As expected, Andrei will also lose to Liu Lianxin later. The top four will only be those four..." In the private room, Ji Xiuyu and the maids watched Bai Ke leave dejectedly, but their attention turned to the others...

Chapter 265: The Final Four Emerge, Andrei's Unexpected Victory

"In the end, it will only be the four of them..." Ji Xiuyu and the others were far away from the outside in the private box, so they didn't have the same atmosphere as the live audience. However, he could feel the intensity of the competition as he watched it.

The match between Bai Ke and Luo Luo Na Er can only be described as Bai Ke's bad luck in encountering Luo Luo Na Er, a girl whose strength was unknown.

Even Ji Xiuyu himself was not confident that he could defeat her in his transformed fox form, because he vaguely sensed a powerful aura emanating from her.

In his memory, that kind of imposing aura was only revealed once when his mother, Chu Ying, was angry.

At that time, her mother's aura was exactly the same as hers, only that compared to her mother's, Lolona's power was weaker.

Even so, Ji Xiuyu had to look at her with new respect. After all, she was only the second person besides his mother who could command such authority over him.

Therefore, even if he doesn't know who she is or what her purpose is right now, he can guess her strength, which is no less than epic level.

Even a demigod...

If it's the former, then it matches her current age. There are always a few oddballs in this world who defy expectations; it's normal.

If it's the latter, then that's terrible. It not only means that this girl's strength is something they can't contend with, but it also means that her background must be extremely terrifying.

"No matter what, she's the winner. Now it's just a matter of who can reach the top four." Zi Qing didn't know Ji Xiuyu's thoughts, nor was she aware of the pressure the girl exerted on Ji Xiuyu. But as a maid, her job was to observe carefully and figure out Ji Xiuyu's ideas.

Seeing that his expression was a little strange, I understood what he was thinking. I reached out and took his little hand, shook it, and made him focus his attention on me.

"I'm just a little dazed. This world seems so unfamiliar after I gained power. It wasn't so dangerous before, I don't know why." Ji Xiuyu shook his head. He was genuinely puzzled by this. Could he be the legendary calamity constitution, causing problems wherever he went?

Is that really the case? To be honest, apart from causing some trouble in Wangquan City, he was almost always on the defensive.

But the enemy's strength is only increasing, from heroes to epics, and now to demigods.

He had no idea whether gods would descend upon him in the future, whether he would be resurrected, whether the system within his body would work, or whether he would inherit the bloodline of the Chu family.

Everything seemed to be an unsolvable mystery, at least for Ji Xiuyu at the moment, he had no way to solve it.

"We're actually in the same box, aren't we..." she murmured to herself, which made Zi Qing's expression change.

The things the young master is thinking about are too dangerous. The young lady said that the young master should not be exposed to too many secrets before he reaches the level of a demigod.

She left a lot of useful information in her memory, which she can only absorb after she has completely broken the third seal.

The young lady said she'd only understand what to do after she absorbed that information, and hopefully... there won't be any problems...

Before that, we must stop the young master from having any wild thoughts; we can't let him continue like this, it's too dangerous.

"Young Master, let's not think about it too much. Let's watch their final match." Pulling him back, Zi Qing gave Bai Yu a wink.

The girl immediately understood, ran over and sat next to him, rubbing against his arm with a blissful expression.

The purple-haired girl sat directly on his lap, curled up in his arms, preventing him from paying too much attention to her.

With the soft, fragrant body in his arms, Ji Xiuyu couldn't think of anything else, no matter how much he wanted to. He could only shake his head with a wry smile. Really, can't you guys just let me have some peace and quiet?

"Liu Lianxin, Lolonaer, that strange person whose form is invisible, and who is the last one?" After putting aside other matters, he focused his energy on the competition.

With Ziqing in his arms, things would get really bad if he couldn't keep his attention. It was a strange feeling that made him apprehensive; he didn't want to touch it.

“Andre might pull off an upset. He’s not particularly strong, but his family is very powerful. As a descendant of a prestigious family, he should have some methods that ordinary people can’t compare to.” Zi Qing moved her body and noticed Ji Xiuyu’s unusual behavior, so she relaxed slightly.

That's good. With us by your side, we shouldn't think about anything else.

"Andrei..." With the successive eliminations of Ishikawa Yuya, Bai Ke, and others, it seems that he is the only one left to survive.

This guy who mistook him for a girl at first glance and insisted on kissing his toes and signing a contract without his permission—after all this, is it fate that he's the only one left?

Ji Xiuyu didn't know, but he did know that his feelings for these people were completely different from what they used to be.

Whether he can stay or not doesn't matter to him, because he can't possibly get first place, let alone truly be himself.

"Andrei, I wonder if his family would be furious if they knew he was like this? I have a feeling that it's possible." Ji Xiuyu was very sensitive about the issue of family, because he himself grew up in a family that was not large, but whose power and influence were enormous.

He may not have known the purpose of these forces before, but now he understands perfectly well that they are enough for him to easily overthrow the entire world and establish a new nation.

For now, he can only rely on the maids around him; he'll have to wait until he becomes the head of the family to build up his power.
