395 Eating Could be Such a Pleasure

"Rest here for a bit, I'm leaving first. Look for me in the parking lot ten minutes later, or people would see us coming out of the toilet together and you will become very embarrassed."

Chen Xiaobei excused himself quickly after finishing his treatment for Luo Puti. However, she wanted him to leave quickly too – she was a little too self-conscious about his therapy.

Taking out the Nightstalker Outfit from his treasure chest, Chen Xiaobei put it on after looking around to make sure that no one was around him.

The clubhouse was huge but he could guess that the basement was the best place to store the auction items, away from the guest space. However, there was also a thick and heavy metal door in the underground room, armed with an advanced password interface. 

"Shit… It's an electronic lock… How am I supposed to unlock it…"

Chen Xiaobei may be a master at picking locks, but all his skills were useless against an electronic lock.

"All the auction items must be behind this door… I have to open it if I want to trample over Zhuang Bifan's face!" Chen Xiaobei frowned.

Just as he prepared to take out his cellphone and ask for help from the Red Envelope Group, something crawled out from his pocket.

"Master, I'm hungry… I want to eat…" The Twelve Wings Golden Cicada complained; it rather resembled a mini robotic toy with its golden shell.

"Eat again? All you ever do is eat and sleep… I dare you to eat this metal door!" Chen Xiaobei scoffed in frustration. Its previous owner was the Primeval Lord of Heaven, and Chen Xiaobei felt that he was doing the old fart a favor as he disciplined the gluttonous fiend.

"Alright!" Instead of getting angry, the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada pounced on the metal door excitedly and bit a chunk out of the titanium door.

*Crack!*

"Well, I'll be damned! Your jaw is really powerful!" Chen Xiaobei uttered in surprise.

"Of course! I'm the leader of the five prehistoric savage insects and this titanium door means nothing to me. There is almost nothing in the Three Realms and the Six Great Divisions I can't eat!" The Twelve Wings Golden Cicada bragged.

"Fantastic! So you're actually useful. Xiao'er, I'll treat you better if you chomp down this door in front of me!"

"Okay!" The Twelve Wings Golden Cicada nodded and kept biting on the door

*Crack!*

*Crack!*

*Crack!*

The sounds of it chewing on the metal door echoed in the air like song. In ten seconds, the door vanished as if it was pencil-drawn and was removed by an eraser. And Xiao'er was that eraser!

"My goodness… Xiao'er, you're awesome! You just chomped down a hunk of metal a hundred thousand times larger than you! Why does your body size still remain the same?"

"My appetite is endless!" Xiao'er explained as it rubbed its stomach. "I'm a unique existence even before time and eating is my special ability. Although I'm still essentially a larva, I could eat anything you give!"

Chen Xiaobei was surprised, and then recalled Huanglong Zhenren who mentioned something similar in the Red Envelope group.

"Well, well!" Chen Xiaobei exclaimed happily. "And here I was thinking all I got was just a useless bug that knows nothing except eat and sleep. Well, now I realized that I've actually acquired a piece of treasure!"

Xiao'er was still very much an infant. While it did not possess the power of the Golden Immortal of the Great Overarching Heaven, being able to bite through and ingest everything on earth was still pretty useful.

"Quick. Go eat those safe deposit boxes as well!" Chen Xiaobei gestured.

"Alright!"

The bottomless appetite of the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada was evident. Xiao'er seems so enthusiastic that it had swiftly leapt onto the five safe boxes to have another meal without question.

"This Spiritual Item from the Primordial Lord of Heaven is simply marvelous!" Chen Xiaobei said, amazed once more to watch as those five safe boxes disappeared right in front of him. Sometimes, eating could be such a pleasure!

"I guess I'm keeping the three hundred years old wild ginseng, four-hundred-year-old purple Ganoderma Lucidum, Thunder Splitting Rod Skill Book and Aeolus Kick Skill Book in my treasure chest!" Chen Xiaobei said as he stuffed everything into his treasure chest without any hesitation.

"Hehe… And one Spiritual Stone!"

The Spiritual Stone was as big as a coin, but it was as clear as a diamond and far more valuable. A stream of concentrated Spiritual Qi flowed within it, it was the dream of every martial artist!

"To think that I'm very much in need of Spiritual Qi… I guess I shall gladly accept it since it belongs to Zhuang Bifan! Hehe!" Chen Xiaobei grinned and absorbed every drop of Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Stone into his body.

Luo Puti had said that an ordinary person would need around three months to gain one hundred combat power with this amount of Spiritual Qi. However, Chen Xiaobei possessed the Scripture of Heaven and Earth; he only needed a couple of hours to digest Spiritual Qi.

Furthermore, he had also just absorbed some from South Pole Spiritual Jade Fruit not too long ago, meaning that he could gain an extra five hundred combat power after twelve hours of training.

The Scripture of Heaven and Earth was such an impressive catalyst!

"Guards! This is bad! All the auction items are missing! Hurry!"

Suddenly, a group of security guards were rushing into the basement. Chen Xiaobei knew that they had seen the intrusion from the CCTV camera; he concealed himself with the Nightstalker Outfit with a knowing smile and left the basement confidently.

"Quick! Call Master Zhuang! Tell him all his auction items are gone!"

The underground room was in an uproar as the supervisor took out his cellphone immediately to call Master Zhuang.

.....

At the southern side of the Dragon City suburbs.

A gigantic mansion known as Guiyan Mansion stood beside Lake Guiyan. It used to be a summer house for Emperor Qing's family.

Now, it was a property of the Zhuang family, and there were less than four mansions in Dragon City that could compare to this mansion. It goes without saying that only rich and extremely influential individuals could afford to live there, and the building was so huge that every family member had their own separate domains within the mansion.

Donglin House was where Zhuang Bifan stayed, and there were screams as well as sounds of objects shattering in this very moment.

"What did you say?! There was a ray of golden light and then everything vanished?! Motherfucker! How stupid do you think I am?!" Zhuang Bifan screamed, his face contorted in sheer frustration as if he was fed feces.

*Thud!*

He tossed his cell phone aside. Nervousness soon gripped him, and his forehead poured buckets of sweat.

"Shit… If I still couldn't settle the bill, all that I've done will be exposed… And my great-grandmother will definitely beat me to death if she gets wind of it!"
