395 Eating Could be Such a Pleasure (1/2)
”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.
