    What does this 骑上“麒麟” mean?
    by the way, there is a character called 雪麒麟
    Context:
    若论美貌,齐绮琪冠绝天下,可是若论乳量,齐绮琪骑上“麒麟”也追不上夏雪。

    Bye, have a beautiful time

    In terms of beauty, she was unparalleled. However, if they were to compare bust sizes, she wouldn't be able to compare to Xia Xue (or Xue Qilin) even if she were to ride on a qilin.

    I'm assuming the riding part is more to say that even a miracle wouldn't help her here. Maybe it's a pun on her name? I may be wrong :blobsweat_2:

    Never heard of this pun. Some time the author likes to 自玩自嗨,like Hiroaki Samura. Some times those puns can be quite stupid.
    Maybe try reading authors other works.
