Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Before the Banquet Begins

Xu Ke, with Zhong Boyu’s arm around his shoulder, took a tour of the casino and was then led outside, seemingly heading towards the bar.

As the four of them were happily walking forward, a person suddenly jumped out on the road, startling the four of them. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was the bear Anshou who had been kicked out earlier.

The bear Anshou, after carefully observing the clothes the four were wearing, confirmed in his heart that these were the people who had won against him in the casino, and his eyes were filled with undeniable hatred.

"Don’t think that just because you’ve taken off your masks, I won’t recognize you. I’m not satisfied with the result in the casino. I demand a rematch. I, the bear Anshou, never lose, especially not to a Chinese like you." The bear Anshou, being short, had to look up to meet Xu Ke’s eyes, which made him very unhappy, even feeling a sense of humiliation, deepening his resentment towards Xu Ke and the others.

Clearly, the four of them were quite striking, but in the eyes of the bear Anshou, they all looked detestable. Just seeing them made his internal fire rage uncontrollably.

"Do you dare? Do you dare to compete with me again? This time, I will undoubtedly clear my name." The bear Anshou clenched his fists and said.

"No matter how many times we compete, against me, you only have one result – losing. There’s no other possibility. If you want to win against me, you better improve your gambling skills. Oh, by the way, we Chinese have beaten you Japanese more than once. If we can win once, we can keep winning. Even if I lose in the future, the person who beats me won’t be from Japan, so give up." Xu Ke said unmercifully, practically rubbing the opponent’s face in the dirt, eliciting heavy gasps from the bear Anshou, who looked ready to explode at any moment.

"You can’t leave. If you don’t compete with me again today, I won’t let you leave. Even if you leave today, I’ll keep pestering you." The bear Anshou said, trembling with anger.

Xu Ke licked his back teeth and looked at Zhong Boyu, who had already taken out his phone from his pocket and called some people over. Initially, the bear Anshou didn’t know what they were doing, stubbornly waiting in place until he saw familiar attires and realized what they had been doing on the phone.

His arms were once again restrained, attracting the attention of passersby. "Thank you again today. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have so easily obtained a small island. If it weren’t for your reminder, I would’ve forgotten to confine you. Don’t worry; once we reach the next port, we’ll let you off. But until then, please stay in the room and don’t wander off randomly."

After Zhong Boyu finished speaking and waved his hand, the bear Anshou was taken away once more, still struggling and shouting in the same posture, except this time the people taking him had a specific destination in mind.

"Finally, some peace. Come on, let’s go have a drink." After dealing with the situation, Zhong Boyu’s smile returned, looking as cheerful as ever.

"No need; we have minors here, and I will not accompany you to the bar." Xu Ke reached out to refuse.

"Oh, my pig brain, I was so happy I forgot about that. How about I buy some drinks and we have a drink in your room?" Zhong Boyu slapped his own forehead and said.

"I don’t see where you’re being smart. That’s my and my wife’s place. What’s a man like you doing in there?" Xu Ke rolled his eyes at Zhong Boyu and, holding Lin Mengyao’s hand, prepared to distance himself from this fool.

"I didn’t think of it! Let’s drink in my room instead." Zhong Boyu slapped his forehead again and suggested.

"Two grown men drinking alone in a room? I won’t accompany you; I want to be with my wife." Xu Ke refused Zhong Boyu again without mercy.

"Fine, no drinks then. But can you wait for me?" Zhong Boyu waved at Xu Ke, appearing like a deserted, aggrieved maiden, which gave Xu Ke goosebumps. He quickened his pace with Lin Mengyao, and Yu Xia had to jog to keep up.

Her cheeks turned rosy from running, her features rare and lively.

The four of them, with an aggregated age nearing a hundred, were acting like children, and time slipped by quickly as the dance party approached.

Though it was an evening dance, the sky hadn’t darkened yet when Yu Xia was dug out of bed by Lin Mengyao.

"Xiaxia, stop sleeping, wake up. We need to prepare for the dance party attire." Lin Mengyao shook Yu Xia awake.

Yu Xia, like a little animal, burrowed into her bed reluctantly, but still got up, washed up, ate, changed clothes, and followed Lin Mengyao to buy the evening’s banquet attire and then to style themselves.

It was Yu Xia’s first time in such a place. Everything new and strange, yet she didn’t appear small-minded and instead exuded a comfortable, refreshing springtime vibe, lively and not to be looked down upon.

"Welcome! Are you here for the evening party styling?" The person leading Lin Mengyao and Yu Xia in was very polite, with a comforting tone.

Lin Mengyao nodded, confirming their guess.

"Then you’re at the right place. Not to brag, but our styling studio is the best on the whole cruise. Judging by your looks, you haven’t settled on your gowns yet, right? How about taking a look here? We collaborate with all major international luxury brands, and our store has their haute couture that will surely meet your needs." The salesperson eagerly introduced while swiftly leading Lin Mengyao and Yu Xia to the clothing area.

The dazzling array of clothes was enough to overwhelm anyone. It was unbelievable how the store owner managed to stock the latest haute couture from major brands, not a single fake in sight, improving Lin Mengyao’s opinion of the place.

"Xiaxia, come over and pick a dress. We need to go to the dance party soon. Quickly choose one you like." Lin Mengyao called Yu Xia over to pick a dress.

Yu Xia walked ahead picking clothes, while Lin Mengyao followed, offering opinions as she chose for herself, creating a warm atmosphere between the two. "Sis, that smoky gray dress would look great on you." Yu Xia tugged Lin Mengyao’s arm and pointed at the dress she fancied.

It was a strapless gown with a finely cinched waist, the top embroidered with magnolias mixed with some black, transitioning to a flowing chiffon skirt from the waist down. The chiffon skirt wasn’t tightly fitted but layered into a puffy style, creating a smoky effect.

Not only did Yu Xia love it at first sight, but so did Lin Mengyao. Holding the dress, Lin Mengyao patted Yu Xia’s head and said, "I really like this dress. Thank you, Xiaxia, for picking it for me."

Upon hearing Lin Mengyao’s thanks, Yu Xia shyly lowered her head, her voice brimming with joy as she said, "No thanks needed, as long as sis likes it."
