Chapter 377 - 623 - 634

"Mmm…"

The clock was ticking and Chen Xiaobei's stamina was reaching its limit. Under normal circumstances, Chen Xiaobei could recycle the air within his body and last for at least half an hour in the water. Now that he was placed in a circumstance where sea current was constantly taking a toll on him so there was no way that Chen Xiaobei could last any longer in a place like that. At the same time, tiny grains of sand entered his nose and traveled down his throat – making him feel really uncomfortable. It would be a miracle if Chen Xiaobei could stay alive in that kind of place more than a minute.

"Shit! Am I really going to die here? This must be a joke! There are many things waiting for me to do… I cannot allow myself to die in a place like this…"

A sense of despair started to rise in his mind. It was not because he was a weakling. There was simply nothing he could do to help himself. Even an elite with Celestial cultivation would not survive in a situation like. Only a demigod that possessed the ability to control the weather was powerful enough to go against such a calamity!

"He… Hehehe…"

Suddenly, a creepy laugh could be heard from the shadows beneath Chen Xiaobei.

The creature then started to speak in Zoolingualism, "What kind of trash is that? When did such a weakling have the guts to invade my territory? You are going to die!"

"Eh? So, this chaotic sea current was caused by this sea monster?"

Considering that Chen Xiaobei had already mastered Zoolingualism, he could understand every single word that the sea monster had just said. However, he chose not to respond to him.

"Little shit! Stop struggling!"

"Is he talking to me? So, he could sense my presence in the sea?"

Thought Chen Xiaobei was in despair, it did not affect his thought process. An ordinary human being would have freaked out and given up to try to survive. Just as expected, Chen Xiaobei's deduction was correct.

"I can sense your presence! This chaotic sea current will not stop as long as you are still breathing! Stop struggling! You are just torturing yourself! I suggest you give up and just die!"

Upon hearing that, the light of hope was lit in Chen Xiaobei's heart.

"Now I know that this series of chaotic sea current is caused by this sea monster, all I need to do is kill it and bring peace back to this area! But, how am I supposed to get out from this ferocious sea current?"

"What a stubborn piece of trash! With your strength, it is simply not possible for you to fight against this sea current! I shall bring you death personally since you refuse to give up!"

*Rumble*

Right after the sea monster finished talking, it started to move even more vigorously. And the speed of sea current was boosted tremendously.

"F*ck! That was not his full strength?"

Feeling dizzy, Chen Xiaobei could feel that he was stuck inside a tornado. Seemingly the sea current was going to rip his bones apart.

"That sea monster is right! It is definitely not possible to break out from this sea current with only human strength!"

Still, Chen Xiaobei's state of mind was still really calm in this life and death situation. Because he refused to give up, he finally figured out something to save himself.

"Since it's not possible to rely on human strength to fight this sea current, I shall bring forth divine strength to stop this chaos! Red Envelope Group!"

Just like figuring out the Dao path, Chen Xiaobei had taken a long time to find a way to overcome this dreadful problem. However, once he hit the right spot, he would be able to connect all the dots in his mind together and solve the problem.

"My mind is acting really funny just now! How can I forget that I have managed to snatch something that could be used in the water yesterday? I have to act quickly now! Let me see what the item does in water!"

Ding!

[Hydrophobic Orb: It was crafted by the Third Prince of East Sea Dragon King. Upon consuming it, you will be able to acquire the high-tier skills of water creatures! You will be able to breathe normally and talk inside the water! Other than that, you will be granted immunity from all kind of sea calamities! Do you wish to withdraw it?]

"Damn! This is exactly the things that I need right now! Withdraw! I need it now!"

With his sheer will, a white pearl was being withdrawn from his Infinite Space Ring and appeared in Chen Xiaobei's palm. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei swallowed it without saying anything.

"This is going to be so awesome!"

Having to shake his body involuntarily, Chen Xiaobei could feel the difference that brought forth by the Hydrophobic Orb.

*Whoosh!*

Once Chen Xiaobei exhaled, all the sands and seawater was flushed out from his nose. After that, no more sand and seawater entered his body. The most magical part was Chen Xiaobei could not breathe in the sea like he was on the land.

Right! You heard it right!

He now possessed the ability to separate oxygen from the seawater and supply to his body.

"This is way more comfortable now!"

Being able to breathe normally again, Chen Xiaobei let out a long sigh. The moment he opened his mouth, all the seawater was completely blocked from entering his mouth. It was as if there was an invisible barrier surrounded him.

"This is so freaking awesome! Glad I have this Hydrophobic Orb with me!"

The thing that he felt most excited about the orb was the final ability granted to Chen Xiaobei.

Immune from all the sea calamities.

All the sea pressure and sea current around him was completely disappeared. At that moment, Chen Xiabei could feel that there was no seawater around him even though he was still in the sea. And the most magical part was Chen Xiaobei did not lose the ability to float in seawater and fell to the bottom of the sea. In other words, the Hydrophobic Orb allows him to control the sea pressure, resistance, and floating ability.

Seawater would become his most reliable partner if he could master all his ability.

"Just like the saying goes, Good things and bad things are often connected with each other! It's actually a bad thing that I managed to snatch so many Red Envelopes! I almost forgot that I have the awesome Hydrophobic Orb with me! If I die here, I will experience more injustice than Dou E 1

After surviving the life threatening situation, Chen Xiaobei was finally relieved.

Tonight, he managed to snatch eighteen Red Envelopes. Right after that, he went and deal with some other small matters. Following by that, he went ahead to make love with Song Qincheng. Until he dived into the sea, Chen Xiaobei did not even have time to check on all the items that he acquired just now.

"Eh? Why are you still not dead? Let me give in more strength to speed up your death! I will respect you as a true man if you manage to hang in there for another half minute!" said the sea monster in disdain.

Clearly, he did not treat Chen Xiaobei as his proper opponent. In other words, it just underestimated Chen Xiaobei. That was the good thing about Chen Xiaobei forgot about his Hydrophobic Orb earlier!

*Swoosh*

A pitch black combat saber appeared in Chen Xiaobei's hand. He then dove toward the sea monster and the Chaos Sword Essence was following right behind him.

"Garbage! Die now! Hahaha…"

The sea monster was laughing out loud. It would not expect that Chen Xiaobei was laughing at it as well.

Someone or something was going to die! Chen Xiaobei was definitely not the one! Dou E, who is wrongly convicted of crimes by a corrupt court official for actions perpetrated by a rejected suitor, Mule Zhang. After her execution, three prophesied phenomena occur to prove her innocence, including blood raining from the sky, snow in June and a three-year drought.

Within the chaotic sea current, Chen Xiaobei was swimming toward the sea monster like a sea dragon. The Hydrophobic Orb allows him to breathe, talk, block out seawater, and even given the ability to see clearly in the ocean.

"King Octopus?"

Finally, Chen Xiaobei could see the look of that sea monster that tried to kill him. His sphere-shaped body was sized at twenty to thirty meters! It was exactly the giant dark shadow that Chen Xiaobei spotted earlier. Its eight tentacles were larger than a python and its length was at least twenty to thirty meters as well. They were lying on the seabed and moving non-stop. The sandstorm and the chaotic sea current were definitely caused by these tentacles.

"Often, deep sea gigantic sea monsters are used as an idea to produce sci-fi movies. It seems like not all of them are fake! This King Octopus can definitely be classified as one of those giant sea monsters!"

At the same time, Chen Xiaobei activated his Netherspirit Battlescouter to check on the King Octopus.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Eight-Star Spiritual Beast. Health: Colossal Spiritual Physique (Pinnacle). Combat power: 40,000!]

"This sea monster's combat power is even higher than Xiaobai and Sirius! Without the help of the Heavenly Pet Food, it has to grow slowly and steadily. In other words, it had achieved Eight-Star Spiritual Beast decades ago! So, it can now be considered one of those ancient monsters!"

Focusing on the sea monster, Chen Xiaobei continued to dive deeper into the sea.

Chen Xiaobei smirked boldly and said, "That's why I say it's actually not a bad thing that I forgot about the Hydrophobic Orb! If I consumed it in the very beginning, I would end up in its mouth! Forgetting the Hydrophobic Orb managed to make it underestimate me! This is my golden opportunity to take it down!"

With both of his hands holding the Black Sword, Demonic Dragon Apocalypse, Chen Xiaobei aimed at the King Octopus with an evil smile on his face.

"The supper for tonight is Takoyaki!"

*Swoosh*

Chen Xiaobei then used his sheer will to activate the ability given by the Hydrophobic Orb. Immediately, all the water pressure around him was gone. Like a speed demon, Chen Xiaobei dove at the sea monster like he was dashing at someone on the ground with lightning speed! The 40,000 combat power allowed him to transform himself into a shadow while approaching the sea monster.

The King Octopus underestimating him was a divine opportunity.

Borrowing the power of the sea was a geographical advantage for him.

And Chen Xiaobei's combat power complemented the two factors that benefited him perfectly!

*Swoosh!*

While approaching the sea monster, Chen Xiaobei channeled his True Qi to his body and formed a water attribute True Kang around him. Since he was in the water, the water attribute True Kang would definitely boost his strength greatly. Once he achieved Celestial cultivation, he would be able to communicate with the elements around him and borrow strength from Mother Nature to deal with his enemies!

Of course, the King Octopus that stood in path did not require an elite with Celestial cultivation to deal with it! With the help of all those advantages that he just gained, he could definitely kill it with ease.

"Wind!"

The Crimson Turmoil took the lead and went and attacked the King Octopus.

"Eh? That garbage still has the strength to come and attack me? Do you really think your useless skill can do any damage to me? Dream on!"

*Swoosh!!!*

The King Octopus used one of its tentacles to launch an attack at Chen Xiaobei. The combination of its immense strength and its special ability, Engulfing Ocean could bring tens of thousands of tons of seawater to attack its enemies. Once the Chaos Sword Essence came in contact with the seawater, its attack was nullified and was sent miles away.

"You are really a piece of shit! So weak! Hahaha… Ehh…"

Just when King Octopus was laughing in confidence, something stopped its laughter all of a sudden. Its laughter was replaced by endless waves of fear!

"My back! What the hell is going on?! What the f*ck is happening to me?!!! Ugh!!! Ah…"

The King Octopus could feel that an arrow had pierced through his back! And this arrow was more destructive than those ordinary arrows! It was moving within the King Octopus's body and destroying his internal organs and hearts!

*Blargghh…*

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the King Octopus and its tentacles finally stopped moving.

"How did this happen to me… What just happened?"

In only a few seconds, the lively King Octopus was now on the verge of dying. The most pathetic part was he did not even know how it ended up in such state.

*Swoosh*

Suddenly, the chest of the King Octopus was being slashed by a dark blade. A huge amount of blood and minced flesh flowed out from the open wound and a person could be seen swimming out of the wound.

"You… Who are you... Who the hell are you?"

"I'm just a piece of garbage!" said Chen Xiaobei while shrugging nonchalantly.

"No! This is not possible… Absolutely not possible… No…"

Letting out a wail of despair, the King Octopus found it hard to believe that it was killed by an ordinary human being. It really wanted to know who in the world Chen Xiaobei was. Unfortunately, it would never know the answer.

*Boom!*

Like a crumbling mountain, the King Octopus's body plunged and never got back up. A 40,000 combat power deep-sea ancient monster was killed by Chen Xiaobei with only a single hit!

"Wind!"

Using his sheer will to control the Chaos Sword Essence, it flew back to Chen Xiaobei immediately. Chen Xiaobei then kept away the Demonic Dragon Apocalypse and took out the Blood Amber Bracelet and Green Jade Gourd.

"Next, I need to look for the Crimson Demonic Orb!"

Upon calming himself down, Chen Xiaobei used his heart to feel the change of the two Spiritual Items that he was holding in his hand. After entering a very particular area, these two items were summoned by a mysterious force. Chen Xiaobei then followed their lead and found the spot very soon. 

"So! It is located right under the King Octopus! It was no wonder this ancient sea monster would not leave this spot! Seemingly, it was borrowing the Spiritual Strength of the orb to make itself more powerful!"

With his sea ability, Chen Xiaobei utilized the sea pressure to send the body of the King Octopus few meters away from him.

Just as expected!

A fist size crimson orb was stuck in one of the rock on the seabed!

Clearly, this was the Demonic Crimson Orb that Chen Xiaobei had been looking for a long time!

"I think the crimson rune around it should be a mini formation!"

After paying closer attention to it, Chen Xiaobei found out that the crimson rune around the orb looked like the light came from a crimson son. It was really unique. Since Chen Xiaobei was no stranger to rune pattern, he could guess that the rune served as a seal to protect the orb. That was why the King Octopus could not carry the orb with it. Rendering with no other option, it had to stay here to train itself.

Chen Xiaobei then placed the Blood Amber Bracelet and Green Jade Gourd on the left and right side of the orb.

*Buzz*

Just like what he guessed earlier, something magical happened right before his eyes.

*Buzz*

*Buzz*

The Blood Amber Bracelet and Green Jade Gourd started to act up. The entire area around Chen Xiaobei was dyed in green and red. Both of these colors were separated – like water and fire. They were never going to mix with each other. And the Demonic Crimson Orb was placed right in between of the line – looking like a red-hot sun that rose above the green water.

*Klak*

*Klak*

Seconds later, the Crimson Demonic Orb left the seal and floated right before Chen Xiaobei.

"This demonic pill had been fallen into the sea for hundreds of years! I can sense that the Spiritual Essence inside it is rather weak. Considering that there were different kind of monsters came and absorb the essence from it, it is definitely weaker when compared to the time when the giant serpent tried to go against the calamity…"

After observing it for a while, Chen Xiaobei felt that it was wasted. The fact that a giant beast tried to go against the calamity, its strength and power were as powerful as a demigod at pinnacle phase! Chen Xiaobei could fully utilize if he was the first person that came in contact with this orb. It was true that the true potential of the orb was wasted but Chen Xiaobei was here to evolve his Chaos Sword Essence. Being able to achieve his goal was still very exciting for him.

*Swoop*

With his sheer will, Chen Xiaobei summoned his Chaos Sword Essence back to him. Having the ability to absorb anything that could benefit it, the Chaos Sword Essence immediately absorbed all the essence within the orb. Soon, the Crimson Demonic Orb lost its crimson color and became pale white – like the color of a skeleton. In other words, all the essence inside it was completely drained.

"This is weird… Why can't I see any changes from the Chaos Sword Essence? Logically speaking, Chaos Sword Essence should have the point where it is going to evolve to the next phase. The essence from the Crimson Demonic Pill should be enough to make it evolve to a Spiritual Item." Chen Xiaobei wondered in frustration.

"What's wrong with it? Too bad. Sifu is not back yet. If not, I can ask him about it… He promised me that he would be back during the Chinese New Year. So, he should be back within these two days. I think I should just wait for him to come back first. I'm not in rush anyway."

After putting some thought into it, Chen Xiaobei realized that it was not necessary for him to evolve his Chaos Sword Essence to kill enemies. So, it was useless for him to continue to dwell on it. Everything would be solved easily once the Prime of Tongtian returned to the heavenly realm.

*Swoosh*

Just when Chen Xiaobei was about to keep away his Chaos Sword Essence and left this place, something unexpected happened right before his eyes. The cork of the Green Jade Gourd opened by itself and the Spiritual Qi inside it was being consumed by the Chaos Sword Essence!

"What the hell?! How did this happen?"

Seeing that all the hard-earned Spiritual Qi being consumed, Chen Xiaobei could feel his heart was aching badly. Spiritual Qi was after all one of the things that he needed the most right now.

After calming himself down and thought about it, Chen Xiaobei managed to come to a realization.

"I know now! Chaos Sword Essence is about to evolve into a Spiritual Item! Just like crafting the Infinite Space Ring, it will need a lot of Spiritual Qi to trigger a more powerful Spiritual Attribute! So, it has to consume more Spiritual Qi to complete the process! This can be considered a necessary investment."

"Just take in more Spiritual Qi! More! Chaos Sword Essence is given by my Sifu! To me, it has a very special place in my heart! In the future, it has much potential to turn into a killing weapon that is even more powerful than the Godslayer Sword! So, the investment that I pour into it is definitely worth it!"

After some time, the Chaos Sword Essence finally stopped consuming Spiritual Qi from the Green Jade Gourd. Of course, Chen Xiaobei was no longer baffled by it.

"Next, the Chaos Sword Essence is going to need some time to digest all those Spiritual Qi that it just absorbed. What I need to do right now is head back to Paradise Island immediately! Then, I will lend the Sanmei True Fire from Hong Haier to speed up the digestion process!"

Upon thinking about that, Chen Xiaobei kept all these belongings back to his Infinite Space Ring and swam back to where he came from. Before Chen Xiaobei kept his Green Jade Gourd back to his treasure chest, he went ahead and checked the remaining Spiritual Qi inside the Green Jade Gourd. The Spiritual Qi left inside it was equivalent to 2,100 pieces of Spiritual Stones. Earlier, Chen Xiaobei had scammed a thousand Spiritual Stones from the Zhuang Family. After that, he took another hundred Spiritual Stone from them as fees to diagnose their family members. In other words, the Chaos Sword Essence just consumed a whopping 6,000 Spiritual Stones in that short moment!

With that, Chen Xiaobei could predict that the evolved Chaos Sword Essence was going to be extremely powerful. Again, it was a huge investment but it was worth it in the end. Feeling confident about this Chaos Sword Essence, Chen Xiaobei's heart was filled with anticipation.

*Swoop*

*Swoop*

The moment when Chen Xiaobei almost swam back to where he came from, the green and red light came from behind him. And they shot up to the sky.

"Shit! They are heading towards Qincheng!"

Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei quickly swam back up.

*Swoosh*

The Somersault Cloud flew to Chen Xiaobei and Chen Xiaobei proceeded to jump on it.

"Xiaobei! You are finally back!"

Song Qincheng was still sitting on the Somersault Cloud. The moment she saw Chen Xiaobei, a gentle and sweet smile appeared on her face.

"Are you alright? Did that two ray of beams hurt you?" asked Chen Xiaobei in a nervous manner.

"I'm fine. That two beam rays landed on my body and they disappear right after that. I thought they were the signal that you gave to me just now." said Song Qincheng while shaking her head.

"Are you sure you are okay?"

Frowned, Chen Xiaobei used Bagua Qi Observation Skill to check on Song Qincheng. Still feeling worried, Chen Xiaobei went ahead to check her pulse through touching her wrist. Seemingly, everything was normal.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look okay… Wear your clothes! Don't catch a cold…"

"Okay…"

"Maybe you just met your fate! I'm still not too sure about it! I will have to ask my Sifu when he returns!"

"Fate? Are you trying to tell me that two are related to my fate?"

"I'm pretty sure about it! We will know when my Sifu returns!"

...…..

At Paradise Island.

Everyone was still celebrating the Lunar New Year at the heart of the castle. Once Chen Xiaobei and Song Qincheng returned, they could not help but tease them about doing some naughty stuff. With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei went and look for Hong Haier and the two of them ran out from the castle immediately. Considering that Song Qincheng was a smart woman, she managed to make up some convincing reason to tell all of them.

Outside the house.

Putting the Sanmei True Fire into the Green Jade Cauldron, Chen Xiaobei started to burn and craft his Chaos Sword Essence. Next, Chen Xiaobei would need to wait for the auction that was going to be held tomorrow!

Selling the ten thousand years old Ambergris would allow him to earn a ridiculous amount of Spiritual Stones! After the auction, Chen Xiaobei would be able to collect his evolved Chaos Sword Essence! He felt so excited just by thinking about it!

*Dong! Dong! Dong!*

Midnight was finally here. And that marked the very first day of the Lunar New Year! Focker had prepared a massive firework show for them. The colorful bright light that came from the firework managed to light up the whole night sky.

According to tradition, the adults were supposed to give out red envelopes to the younger one. Little Fire Boss, NeZha, Hong Haier, Wenyuan, and Murong Xiaobei were given many red envelopes. Without a doubt, they felt really happy about it. Though Chen Xiaobei's age was similar to theirs, he became the one that gave out the most number of red envelopes. All the red envelopes that he gave out contained a bank card with 8,888,888 inside it.

Do not ask why! With the money that he owns, he can do whatever he pleases!

Finally, the Lunar New Year Eve came to an end. Everyone went back to their room to have a good sleep with a joyful heart.

During the second day.

Almost everyone slept until noon. Wonderful lunch was served to them once they woke up. After having their lunch, they brought in the mood to enjoy the facilities on the island – like they were living in paradise. This was all thanks to Chen Xiaobei. However, he himself did not even have the time to go and relax.

"How long till the auction?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

"Half an hour! People have started to enter the auction hall."

"Okay. I think I should head in as well. I'm curious what kind of people will attend such a high-end auction!"

The more powerful people came to attend this auction, the more valuable the Ambergris became!

"Actually, you don't have to rush it! The ten thousand years old Ambergris was arranged to be sent out last! There are two more items being auctioned off before it! You might need to wait for some time before the Ambergris is presented to potential buyers."

"Oh right! I have meant to ask you, what are the other two items that are about to be auctioned off? I believe that they are no ordinary items since they are valuable enough to be auctioned together with my Ambergris!"

"You are right! Though the other two items are not as valuable as Ambergris! They could still be considered as one of those really rare items in this world! A lot of people are actually here to buy them!"

"The first item is a thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma! The second one…"

"What?! Are you sure it's a white jade Ganoderma? And it's one thousand years old?"

Before Focker could finish his sentence, Chen Xiaobei went ahead and interrupted him.

"I'm pretty sure! Before I send anything to the auction, I will ask a professional to check on them! I will never allow myself to make any silly mistake! If not, my reputation will be at stake!"

"This is great! This is really great! I have been looking for this item for so long! I have never thought that I can cross path with this white jade Ganoderma on Paradise Island!"

"Master, why are you so happy about it?"

This white jade Ganoderma is one of the main ingredients to concoct the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill! And this is exactly the item that I need the most right now!"

"Eh? Something doesn't add up… Regarding the medical ingredient that you ask me to find last time, I don't see white jade Ganoderma being written on it!"

"You are right! I did not write white jade Ganoderma! Instead, I wrote a thousand-year-old Ganoderma! But a white jade Ganoderma can replace the thousand-year-old Ganoderma! And the effect of the pills will be boosted by folds!"

"But I know that white jade Ganoderma is extremely rare! That is why I didn't write it on the list!"

"No matter what I need to get my hands on it today since I finally found the item that I wanted for a long time! Oh right! What is the starting bidding price of the white jade Ganoderma?"

"Five billion dollars!"

"What? That is so expensive!"

Five billion dollars is equivalent to thirty-two billion yuan! That is more than the total wealth of the Lan Family! And this was only the starting bidding price! In other words, the price would increase if there were a lot of people bid for it! That was completely beyond Chen Xiaobei's expectation. But, he knew that it was only logical that it had such a high price tag on it since it was extremely rare!

Considering that its medical value was extremely high, those who needed it would not value it with money. Chen Xiaobei would not hesitate to get it since he had a lot of money with him. Even if he was asked to use all his money to trade for it, he would definitely say yes to it with no questions asked. The only thing that he worried was the money inside his account might not be able to fight off some of the fearsome potential buyers. Immediately, Focker was smart enough to know that Chen Xiaobei's worry.

"No way! I have actually attracted a lot of attention for bringing my family to come to your castle to celebrate the Lunar New Year! Your family is going to come and look for me if I ask you to pay for it!"

"Err… Master! You are right! When it comes to money, my family is always very sensitive about them… Transactions that are more than billion will be monitored by some specialists!"

"That is why I cannot use your money! Actually, you don't have to worry too much about it! Billions of dollars and thirty-nine billion yuan should be enough to buy out the item, right?"

"The money that you have with you is more than the starting bidding price by a fold! If I'm not mistaken, that should be more than enough!"

"Okay! Sounds good to me! What is the second item that is about to be auctioned off after the first item? You did not finish your sentence just now."

"The second item is a mysterious box that from an ancient pyramid!"

"Mysterious box? Why is it mysterious?"

"After the professional checked on it, they are sure that this mysterious box was one of the items that Pharaoh brought with him when he was being mummified and buried! Until now, no one can open that box! The entire box was made of some special metal! And there is a keyhole above it! Countless locksmiths have tried their luck on it but none of them could unlock the box!"

"There were even people tried to use dynamite to blow it open! And there were people tried to pour acid on it! None of these methods work so far."

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei's curiosity was piqued.

"From the sound of it, this box is really mysterious! I should bid on it in case the item inside is extremely rare!"

"I wouldn't recommend you to do that! The starting bidding price is one billion dollars! It's not cheap at all! And you didn't even know what is being stored inside the box! You can't even make sure that you can unlock the box! I'm afraid you can't sell it after you buy it!"

"Other might not know what's inside! But I will know! We will see! There could be some rare treasure inside the box!"

At the auction hall.

Powerful people from all around the world started to stream into the auction hall. Earlier, the organizer had arranged the seats for the guests according to their status in society. All the guests needed to do was look for their allocated seats. Those that sat at the front row meant that they were richer than those that sat behind them. In order to avoid any suspicion, Chen Xiaobei asked to put him at the last row near the walkway.

"Hi! Brother! Are you a Chinese from China?"

Suddenly, the man that sat beside him took the initiative to greet Chen Xiaobei. This young man looked Asian with fair skin and had a cheerful disposition. As he spoke in Mandarin, one could guess that he was a Chinese that came from China as well.

"Yes. I am," Chen Xiaobei said while nodding.

"Damn! I'm glad that we got to met each other! Let me introduce myself! My name is Zhang Xiaoshen!"

The young lad was really excited when he knew that Chen Xiaobei came from China. Immediately, he took the initiative to extend his hand to shake Chen Xiaobei's.

"I'm Chen Xiaobei."

By shaking hands with him, both of them were now no longer strangers to each other.

"Woah! Both of us have the word 'Xiao' in our name!"

With his sunny personality, a small matter like that was enough to bring him happiness.

*Rumble*

Suddenly, a loud noise could be heard coming from the entrance. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei and Zhang Xiaoshen turned around and looked at the entrance at the same time.

"Hehe… They are finally here!"

Chen Xiaobei grinned. It was as if he was seeing a pile of Spiritual Stones was walking into the auction hall. It turned out someone extremely powerful and wealthy had just arrived. There were four of them in total. In front of them, there were two bodyguards opened the way up for them. Those who blocked their ways slightly would be pushed aside by the bodyguards – making them looked like an arrogant bunch. And behind the bodyguards, there were one man and a woman walking side by side with each other.

The man was very handsome – wearing a black and white patterned kimono. Clearly, this man originated from Japan, – it was Hikawa Okazaka. On the other hand, the beautiful woman with a sakura patterned kimono next to him was his fiancée, Yinmu Binghu.

Of course, Chen Xiaobei had been addressing her as Demonic Fox.

"My friend! I think it's better for you not to stare at them for too long. You are going to get yourself into trouble!"

Seemingly, Zhang Xiaoshen was a regular visitor here. Immediately, he went and reminded Chen Xiaobei about the thing that he should look out for.

"Who are they?" asked Chen Xiaobei in a curious manner.

Judging from the dominating presence of the bodyguards that walked in front of them, Chen Xiaobei could guess that Hikawa Okazaka was no ordinary person.

"That man over there is a prince in Japan! And that woman over there is going to become his queen in the future! It is considered rude for them if you continue to stare at them!"

"Heh… Do you really think I'm afraid of them?!"

"My brother! Don't act tough at moments like this! They are the lobsters that are going to sit at the most front row in this auction hall! And we are just two small prawns that sat at the most back row! We have to lay low no matter what! You might be killed if you continue to act tough in front of them!"

"Can you please take our some of your pride as a Chinese? How can you be afraid of those Japanese? Don't worry! I'm here and I will protect you!" said Chen Xiaobei in a serious manner.

"Hey bastard! Why do you keep looking at me?"

Right after Chen Xiaobei finished his words, Hikari Okazaka started to chastise Chen Xiaobei. After all, Chen Xiaobei was sitting right next to the walkway, once Hikari Okazaka walked into the auction hall, he could see Chen Xiaobei in his first sight.

"Shit…"

"See that? I have advised you earlier but you just refuse to listen to me! You are in big trouble now! Quickly go and apologize to him! If not, things will not end well for you tonight!" said Zhang Xiaoshen nervously.

"Can you stop being so narcissistic? Please. I'm not even looking at you! I'm looking at the goddess that is standing right beside you! Look at her! Such a masterpiece!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile. It was as if he just filtered out everything that Zhang Xiaoshen just told him.

"I asked you to apologize to him. I didn't ask you to flirt with his fiancée! You are clearly looking for a good beating!"

Seeing Chen Xiaobei acted exactly opposite what he told him earlier, Zhang Xiaoshen had the urge to bang his head on the wall.

"Son of a bitch! How dare you flirt with my fiancée? It seems like you have lost your will to continue to live on this planet!" Hikari Okazaka said while shooting him a furious glare.

"Hehe… You make it sound like as if you have the guts to kill me here!"

"I…"

Rendered speechless, Hikari Okazaka thought that he could make use of his status and power to make Chen Xiaobei bend to his will. To his surprise, not only Chen Xiaobei was not afraid of him, but also manage to come up with the courage to argue with him. If they were at another place, Hikari Okazaka could kill anyone with a snap of a finger. However, he knew that he was at Focker's territory, Paradise Island. Causing a ruckus here was equivalent to landing a slap on Focker's face. Though he could be considered as one of the most valuable guests on the island, he was fully aware that he was not allowed to do so!

"Hikari-san, let's not get into argument with this useless piece of shit! A lot of people are watching us! Continue to argue with his is going to bring down our status!" said Demonic Fox.

"Right! You are right! My status here on this island is high and mighty! I should not stoop to the level of those sitting at the back row!"

Initially, Hikari Okazaka did not dare to do anything to Chen Xiaobei. Seeing that there was a good step-down for him, he immediately excused himself and left Chen Xiaobei alone. Before he walked away, he glared at Chen Xiaobei. He then told his bodyguards to remember Chen Xiaobei's face. Once the time was right, he would definitely kill Chen Xiaobei without any hesitation.

"That kid is crazy! Sitting at the back row can only be considered as low-lifes on this island! How dare he goes and challenge the prince of Japan?!"

"That is more than crazy! That is insane!"

"It's still useless for him to act in such insane manner! No one should ever go against the prince of Japan! Sooner or later, the kid over is going to pay the price for angering him!"

....

Upon witnessing Chen Xiaobei's encounter, people around him started to comment on him.

"Brother! You are so lucky! I can't believe that you managed to pull yourself out of situation like that!" said Zhang Xiaoshen with a sigh of relief.

"I manage to pull myself out in a situation like that? Hehe…"

Chen Xiaobei then put on an evil smile and proceeded to use his hand to smack Demonic Fox's ass. Immediately, she could feel that her voluptuous bottoms were being slapped by someone. Clearly, she knew the one that did it but she chose not to act upon it. 

"What… What the f*ck! Bro! You just slapped the ass of the future wife of the prince of Japan! Am I dreaming?"

Taken aback, Zhang Xiaoshen could not help but rub his eyes.

"This is nothing! You have not seen some of the crazier stuff that I did with her!"

"There is… Crazier stuff?"

Zhang Xiaoshen gulped.

He would have never thought that there was actually some dark secrets between Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox. Compared to that, slapping her ass was actually nothing.

"I'm gonna say it again! That white jade Ganoderma belongs to me! I will kill those who dare to take it away from me!"

A rough voice that came from the entrance of the door managed to capture Chen Xiaobei's attention.

Turning around, Chen Xiaobei saw that a muscular guy with moustache entered the auction hall with a few young men around him.

"Why is Hu Bawan here?" asked Zhang Xiaoshen in a shocking manner.

"Who the hell is that guy?"

"Hu Bawan is the faction leader of the ancient faction of Southern Sea. The name of the ancient faction is Raging Wave Faction! All those young men that walked behind him are his disciples!"

"It seems like you know quite a lot about the state of Jianghu!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.

This time, he re-evaluated Zhang Xiaoshen.

"Hehe! Actually I have a title in this Jianghu. Normally, people will call me the Jianghu All-Seer! I know quite a lot about the people and things that are currently happening in Jianghu!"

"All-Seer? Then, do you know Hu Bawan's wealth? How much is he willing to pay to get the white jade Ganoderma?"

"From what I know, Hu Bawan has prepared almost tens of billions of USD to buy the white jade Ganoderma! Knowing that its medicinal effect could speed up his training, he has eyes on it for quite some time! I'm pretty sure he will pour out everything that he has to get his hands on it!"

"Tens of billions?"

Knowing that there was only around eleven billion in his bank account, Chen Xiaobei knew that all his money would be spent if he decided to fight Hu Bawan. And he would not have enough money to purchase the second item.

"What's wrong? Brother. Are you thinking of getting the white jade Ganoderma as well? I would advise you to give up the idea right here right now!"

"Other than Hu Bawan, Tidal Faction swears that they want to get their hands on the white jade Ganoderma as well! The woman, Lin Caoyin had announced to everyone that those who try to take the white jade Ganoderma from her is equivalent to declaring war!"

"Oh? Tidal Faction wants to buy the white jade Ganoderma as well?"

Looking at the front direction, Chen Xiaobei saw that Lin Caoyin was with Lin Xiang and Wei Shenjing sitting at the third row of the bidder seats. He narrowed his eyes but smiled at them.

"That's right! Lin Caoyin's desire to get the white jade Ganoderma is even stronger than Hu Bawan! Let me give you a friendly reminder. Tidal Faction is one of the ancient faction that is located at the Southern Sea as well! If people like me and you manage to anger her, there will be nowhere for us to run away from her in this world!"

"Heh… I don't think so…"

"What do you mean by you don't think so? You are going to mess up big time if you still refuse to listen to me!"

"I did not listen to your advice just now and I turn out fine! Am I right?"

Chen Xiaobei then lifted his hand and sniffed it. A fragrance that was uniquely owned by a woman was still lingering on top of his palm.

"This smells so damn good!"

"This…"

Zhang Xiaoshen was rendered speechless, uncomfortable.

Earlier, he was trying his best to stop Chen Xiaobei from angering Hikari Okazaka. Not only did Chen Xiaobei choose not to listen to him, but he also smacked Demonic Fox's bottom. The result of Chen Xiaobei not listening to Zhang Xiaoshen had brought him no harm but benefit! Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Xiaoshen quickly changed the topic.

"Look at the entrance! Oh my god! I can't believe that guy is here as well!"

Looking at the entrance, Chen Xiaobei's curiosity was piqued.

"You know about the Jianghu in other countries as well?!"

A man with blond hair in crimson robes walked into the auction hall slowly with a follower tailing behind him. He exuded an evil aura. His skin was extremely fair and his eyes were red – looking really spooky.

"I know a thing or two about the Jianghu in other countries as well… If I'm not mistaken, that guy over there should be a blood descendant! He is the newly appointed grand duke of the Deathbane Family in America! His name is Damien Gustav!"

"Gustav? Does he has a grandpa named Höhn Gustav?"

"That's right! How did you know about that?"

"The death of his grandpa has made it possible for him to become the new grand duke!"

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei felt that something was not right but he could not tell what the thing that made him feel uncomfortable was. 

"This is awesome! Hikari Okazaka and Damien are here! Powerful people like them are rarely seen on Paradise Island! I can feel that the auction that is about to start soon is going to be very exciting!"

Seeing that Hikari Okazaka and Damien were sitting at the front row, Zhang Xiaoshen was elated.

"Now, there's only one last very esteemed guest left! Once he arrives, the auction will officially begin."

"Who else is coming? What do you mean by very esteemed guest?"

"I don't know much about that person. The only that I know about the person is a diamond member on this island! In this world, there are only two people holding the diamond membership! One of them is Focker Rothschild's grandfather! And the other one is the person that I mentioned to you just now!"

"Super diamond member? I don't think he is coming."

"Why?"

Zhang Xiaoshen would have never thought that the person that was sitting right next to him was the super diamond member that he mentioned just now. With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei had no intention to reveal his true identity to him. That was why he was sitting at the last row of the seats. Suddenly, the doors of the auction hall were closed. And the stage lights were shone at the auction stage.

"The auction is about to begin!"

"It seems like the person is not coming…" said Zhang Xiaoshen in disappointment. 1

A man in a tuxedo walked to the stage and gave a short speech. Right after that, two sultry ladies brought out a tray with the white jade Ganoderma on it. Looking at its shiny surface, it looked exactly like a white jade sculpture.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our first item! A thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma! Seeing that everyone here is prepared, I'm pretty sure all of you know the medical benefit of this item. So, I'm not going to waste your time by explaining it."

"Let's go straight to the things that all of you have been waiting for a long time! The starting bidding price of this item is five million dollars! Every bid that you make cannot be less than ten million dollars!"

"Let the bidding commence!"

Immediately, the crowd was all hyped up.

"I bid ten million!"

"Me! Me! Me! Another thirty million here!"

...

Seemingly, there were a lot of people interested in buying the white jade Ganoderma.

"You guys are so noisy!"

Suddenly, a loud and rough voice overpowered everyone.

"Can you guys stop with the gibberish? I will raise the price to eight billion! Shut up now!"

Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked. ED: Aw I really like this kid already

Most of the people in the auction hall would increase the price by ten million each time they made a bid. Nobody would have expected that Hu Bawan would increase the price by another three billion in one single bid.

"Damn! Who the hell is that person? He is just too damn arrogant!"

"You are right! Now, the price of the white jade Ganoderma has jumped from five billion to eight billion!"

"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the leader of some ancient faction!"

"Ancient faction? No wonder he has so much money with him! Considering that most of the ancient factions have accumulated their wealth since hundreds of years ago, there was no way that an ordinary person could compete with them."

"It seems like he is going to get his hands on the thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma!"

"You are right…"

Most of the people in the hall had lost the desire to acquire the white jade Ganoderma. Considering that the requirement to step foot on the Paradise Island was to have one billion dollars in one's bank account, most of the people on the island were definitely not wealthy enough to be compared to an ancient faction. Also people like Pikaka and Focker were the kind of people that they could never dream of becoming. Only a handful of people on the island could increase every single bid by billions!

"Auctioneer! I don't think there is anyone in this hall can compete with me! Just sell it to me! Don't waste my time!"

Feeling impatient, Hu Bawan was causing an uproar. Clearly, he could not wait to jump on the stage and get his hands on the thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma.

"Hold on! Hu Bawan! Do you really think my existence does not matter to you?! I will increase the bidding price to 8.3 billion!"

Suddenly, an elegant lady spoke out as a domineering aura filled the hall immediately. This lady was none other than the leader of Tidal Faction, Lin Caoyin! Promptly, everyone turned around and placed their attention on her.

"Damn! Another filthy rich individual! And she just added another thirty million to the bidding price! Something interesting is about to happen!"

"Judging from that woman's expression, a fight is bound to happen soon!"

"This is getting more and more interesting! I wonder who will get their hands on the white jade Ganoderma eventually!"

...

In the auction hall, everyone was looking forward to a good drama.

"8.5 billion!" shouted Hu Bawan.

"8.51 billion!" shouted Lin Caoyin while holding up her paddle.

"8.6 billion!"

"8.61 billion!"

"Motherf*cker! You bitch! What do you want from me?!"

"I'm going to bring this white jade Ganoderma home no matter what! I will always outbid you by ten million!"

"You…"

Feeling angry, Hu Bawan was contemplating to pour all his money to contend with Lin Caoyin.

Upon seeing that, Chen Xiaobei could not help but compliment Zhang Xiaoshen.

"It seems like you are worthy of the title, Jianghu All-Seer! The thing that you just told me is pretty damn accurate! It seems like Lin Caoyin's desire to acquire the white jade Ganoderma is way stronger than Hu Bawan!"

"Of course! Collecting intel has always been my forte!"

"So, who do you think will get their hands on the white jade Ganoderma in the end?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Lin Caoyin will be the one that will get her hands on the white jade Ganoderma! That woman over there is no joke! And she has prepared for a very long time to purchase this item! I think the money that she has with her is no less than Hu Bawan!"

After hearing that, Chen Xiaobei did not respond to Zhang Xiaoshen. All he did was smile at him.

In the first row.

Hikari Okazaka and Damien were sitting in the middle of the row side by side with each other.

"Mr. Damien. Are you interested in betting with me?" said Hikari Okazaka in a joking manner.

"What do you want to bet?" replied Damien with a smile.

"Let's bet who will get their hands on the white jade Ganoderma in the end! Let's bet ten Spiritual Stones! Small bets like these are always fun!"

Upon hearing that, the people that sat at the second row were shocked to the core. The value of ten Spiritual Stones was estimated at ten billion yuan! That was equivalent to fifteen billion dollars! To most people, fifteen billion dollars was definitely an astronomical value to them. To Hikari Okazaka, fifteen billion was just a small bet.

"Alright! Deal! I bet that Lin Caoyin will acquire the white jade Ganoderma in the end!"

To their surprise, Damien agreed with the bet without any hesitation in his mind. From here, one could see that the grand duke of Blood Descendant is another god-tier rich individual. He did not even flinch after making a fifteen billion bet with Hikari Okazaka.

"If that's the case, I will put my bet on Hu Bawan!"

"Yinmu, I will let you be the judge of this bet. Eh? Why are you frowning? What's wrong?"

Upon hearing that, Damien could not help but look at her as well.

"I feel like this is not as simple as we thought it would be… Lin Caoyin and Hu Bawan might not be the one that acquires the white jade Ganoderma!" Demonic Fox pursed her lips and said.

"How is that even possible? And why do you think that way?"

Hikari Okazaka and Damien voiced out their concern at the same time.

"I can't tell what exactly… It's just a feeling…"

She did not dare to voice out her concern that was being hidden in her heart. The reason behind her bad feeling was because she looked at Chen Xiaobei eye to eye earlier. In her mind, Chen Xiaobei was her sworn enemy. As long as Chen Xiaobei was around her, anything could happen. The reason why she did not dare to tell Hikari Okazaka and Damien was that she did something dirty for Chen Xiaobei earlier.

"This beautiful lady over there. Forgive me for being rude. I don't think your feeling is right. Unless, Mr. Hikari and I go and bid for the white jade Ganoderma, there's no one else in this place could snatch it away from Lin Caoyin and Hu Bawan!" said Damien haughtily.

"That's right! Other than me and Mr. Damien! No one else has so much money in their bank account! That's why I don't see a third outcome in this bet!" said Hikari Okazaka in a prideful manner.

Rendering speechless, Demonic Fox could not help but put her attention on the last row.

Could the kid that sat at the last row surprise everyone?

The feeling inside Demonic Fox's heart was getting stronger and stronger. At the same time, the fight between Lin Caoyin and Hu Bawan was coming to an end.

"Bitch! I'm willing to pay ten billion for it! I dare you to add on another ten million to it!"

Judging from Hu Bawan's furious look, it seemed like Hu Bawan had already come out with all the money that he had with him.

"Hehe… Since you insisted, I shall fulfill your wish!"

Lin Caoyin did not hesitate to raise her paddle once again as she could afford it.

"Y-y-you..."

Feeling troubled, Hu Bawan did not have enough money to compete with Lin Caoyin anymore. In other words, he had surrendered in this fierce battle.

"10.1 billion! Going once! Going twice! Going thrice… Sold!!!"

The auctioneer landed the little hammer on the table and the deal was made.

"Bitch! How dare you take away the thing that I wanted for a very long time from me?! Watch your back!"

"Are you trying to declare a war here? I'm always at Tidal Faction! Just come and knock at my door and I will have some fun with you!"

"Alright! Just you wait!"

Hu Bawan gritted his teeth as murderous intent emanated from him. Upon witnessing that, one could guess that these two factions would definitely declare war at each other for a white jade Ganoderma!

Suddenly, a relaxing voice could be heard from the back row.

"Faction Leader Lin! Do you mind handing over the white jade Ganoderma to me?" asked Chen Xiaobei with a smile.

Immediately, everyone landed their attention on Chen Xiaobei – as if he was the biggest idiot in this world.

"Brother… What the hell are you trying to do this time?"

Taken aback, Zhang Xiaoshen quickly lowered down his head and pretended that he did not know Chen Xiaobei.

"What the f*ck! Who the hell does the kid think he is? There must be something wrong with his brain!"

"He is just a low-life that sits at the back row! He has definitely lost his mind! How is it possible that Lin Caoyin would hand over the white jade Ganoderma to him?!"

"Of course! Lin Caoyin just spent over ten billion dollars on that item! She did not even mind going to war with Hu Bawan! No matter what, she will protect her prized possession at all cost! There is simply no way that she would give it away for free!"

"You guys are acting way too serious! That kid is just trying to draw some attention to himself! He doesn't need to pay a price for acting tough in front of us anyway!"

....

To the crowd, Chen Xiaobei was just a big idiot or he was just trying to draw attention to himself. None of them treated him seriously.

"Hmph! It's him again? What a useless bastard! Other than daydreaming, he does not know how to do others things anymore!"

Demonic Fox did not say a word as she frowned because the bad feeling she had was getting stronger. She knew better than anyone that Chen Xiaobei was not as simple as others thought he would be! Those who underestimated him would not meet a good end. And she was the best example in a situation like this. In total, she had been taken advantage of by Chen Xiaobei three times!

Still, she could not understand that why Chen Xiaobei would utter such a ridiculous request.

On the other hand, the follower of the Blood Descendant whispered something in Damien's ears.

"My grand duke, isn't that kid our target? I think there is something wrong with his brain!"

"I never thought that our target is actually him! I cannot fathom why he would make such a brainless claim as well! But, that's not important at all! He will be dead after the auction is over! And Paradise Island will turn into a living hell!"

"That's for sure! We have done all the preparation work! This perfect plan will never fail!"

"Alright! Stop talking about it! Let's focus on the auction instead! Let's watch that kid anger Lin Caoyin! Isn't that quite fun as well? Hehehe…"

"Mr. Damien! It seems like you have won the bet! In the end, Lin Caoyin managed to get her hands on the white jade Ganoderma! Let me give you the ten Spiritual Stones now!"

"There's no need to rush. Shall we bet ten more Spiritual Stones? Let's see if Lin Caoyin is going to cripple that kid."

"I bet she will! Lin Caoyin was given the title, Spinsterminator! She is famous for her toughness! I don't think the Paradise Island will hold her responsible for killing a low-life!" said Hikari Okazaka while licking his lips.

"Hehe… I have the same thought as well! I think that kid will definitely be destroyed by her!"

Looking at Hikari Okazaka like he did not care about money at all, he acted boldly and said, "Mr. Hikari took the initiative to bet first! What a wise move! Forget about that ten Spiritual Stones! You don't have to pay me anymore!"

"Mr. Damien, thank you so much!"

To them, the ten Spiritual Stones that they included in their bet was intended to bring them closer, win or lose did not really matter to them.

"Will Lin Caoyin cripple him?"

Sitting at the side, Demonic Fox peeked at Chen Xiaobei. She had mixed feelings. Deep within her heart, she did not want Chen Xiaobei to be crippled by Lin Caoyin. Instead, she was hoping that Chen Xiaobei could do something to turn the tide around. Though he was her sworn enemy, she knew better than anyone that Chen Xiaobei was not a lunatic! If Chen Xiaobei could do something to his advantage, she would be able to prove to everyone that she was not wrong!

At the same time, Lin Caoyin was still standing rooted to the spot. She did not know what to think anymore.

"Motherf*cker! Who do you think you are? I have tried my best but I still couldn't get my hands on the thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma! And you are trying to ask Lin Caoyin to give it to you? Clearly, you are mocking me!"

Upon seeing that, the crowd grew restless once again.

"That kid is so dead! Hu Bawan is extremely angry right now! He will definitely teach him a good lesson!"

"You are right! It's true that Hu Bawan did not dare to mess with Lin Caoyin. However, killing a low-life that sits at the back row is definitely extremely easy for him!"

"One should always know his/her stand. He is clearly looking to be killed!"

...…

Immediately, Lin Xiang lost her calm.

"Shijie! Please say something! Xiaobei is in big trouble!"

"Eh?"

Like she just woke up by someone, she realized that she was shocked by Chen Xiaobei just said.

On one hand, she had just obtained the white jade Ganoderma that she always wanted.

On the other hand, she really wanted to please Chen Xiaobei as well.

She had never thought that Chen Xiaobei would ask the white jade Ganoderma from her. Now, she was having a really hard time to make up her mind. Her mind went blank when Chen Xiaobei demanded the white jade Ganoderma from her. Seeing that Chen Xiaobei had managed to anger Hu Bawan, Lin Caoyin knew that she had to make up her mind as soon as possible. Either she chose to give up on Chen Xiaobei or the white jade Ganoderma. There was no going back once she made up her mind.

"Shijie! There will be another white jade Ganoderma in this world! However, there is only one Chen Xioabei in this world!"

At a critical moment like this, Lin Xiang was smart enough to know things that are going through Lin Caoyin's mind.

"Right! You are right!"

Immediately, Lin Caoyin came to her senses. Giving out the white jade Ganoderma did not mean that she would never cross path with another one. Once a crack formed between her relationship and Chen Xiaobei, she would never be able to fix it no matter how hard she tried. People that stood on Chen Xiaobei's side were Hades, Focker, and Rothschild Family! A sane person would never give up a relationship like this for a tangible item!

"Auctioneer! Pack the item and hand it over to the mister over there!"

Finally, Lin Caoyin had finally made up her mind.

"What???"

Upon hearing Lin Caoyin's decision, everyone went into a frenzy.

"Oh my god! Is Lin Caoyin crazy?! Or did I hear it wrong? Did she just give out her white jade Ganoderma?!"

"Ten billion dollars is equivalent to twenty times of my wealth! And Lin Caoyin just gave out an item that worth ten billion dollars?! This is insane!"

"No! This is not possible! I must be dreaming! I will not believe that this is happening!"

....

Everyone in the auction hall received the shock of their lives. Half a minute ago, they were just laughing at Chen Xiaobei for being a retard. Now the end result had turned into a series of invisible slaps on their faces – causing them to doubt their existence on this planet.

"This… This must be my hallucination… This is not logical at all… Other than being crazy, why would someone give out the white jade Ganoderma for free?"

At the front row, Hikari Okazaka and Damien looked into each other eyes. They were rendered speechless. The two of them thought that they knew everything. In the end, they were wrong about everything. That was why the slapping sounds on their faces were definitely louder than everyone else. Upon thinking about the bet that they had just made, they were left in a very awkward and embarrassing moment.

"Ms… Ms. Lin… You've got to be joking right?"

Taken aback, the auctioneer had never seen something like this before after working in this line of work for more than a year.

"Joking? Do you really think you are worthy enough for me to joke around with you?"

"Si…"

Immediately, the auctioneer took in a deep breath. Seemingly, the title given to her in Jianghu matched her perfectly. Her domineering character made her looked less like a woman. However, this was actually completely understandable. As the leader of an ancient faction with Celestial cultivation, it was no wonder that she had such a domineering personality.

"Do what I ask you to do or are you trying to ask me to do it myself?"

Her glare turned cold as she exuded a domineering aura – causing the people around her to be terror-stricken.

"N-n-no! I will do it now!"

With sweat dripping down his forehead, he would never dare to anger an elite with Celestial cultivation. After the white jade Ganoderma was packed, it was sent over to Chen Xiaobei by a sexy bunny girl. At the same time, the other sexy bunny girl brought a tablet to Lin Caoyin to complete the transaction.

"Faction Leader Lin!" Chen Xiaobei exclaimed with a smile.

"I'm here!"

Instinctively, Lin Caoyin stood up and turned around to look at the back row. The all-powerful domineering aura that she emanated earlier was replaced with gentleness. Instantly, her title changed from Spinsterminator to Lady Mellow.

"From today onward, we are friends! Please let me know if you have any needs. Or if you are in trouble, you can come and look for me as well! My friends are more than willing to help you as well!"

"Great! This is so great! Thank you Mr. Chen! Thank you so much!"

Feeling excited, Lin Caoyin could not help but keep on expressing her gratitude to Chen Xiaobei. Others might not know the benefit that Lin Caoyin gained from becoming Chen Xiaobei friend. However, she knew clearly the statement that Chen Xiaobei just made was going to benefit her until the end of her life.

In other words, Lin Caoyin could now contact with Hades and Focker personally and ask for help from them. This was one thing that Lin Caoyin had dreamed of for a very long time. Not too long ago, she was still trying to build a connection with Hades through pleasing the Hades' godson. Through becoming friends with Chen Xiaobei, Hades and Focker were now her allies. In other words, Lin Caoyin would stand out in this dog-eat-dog world.

With that being said, the amount of money that Lin Caoyin just paid could be considered as a long-term investment. Soon, she would be able to earn back all the money that she spent today since Focker was now her ally. So, this was actually not a bad deal at all. That was why the domineering Lin Caoyin was more than willing to bow down at Chen Xiaobei and thank him wholeheartedly. Upon seeing that, everyone was stunned by it. They just could not imagine the infamous Spinsterminator would act so gentle toward Chen Xiaobei. None of them would believe in it if they did not see it with their own eyes.

"My… My brother… Am I dreaming? I believe I've just witnessed the white jade Ganoderma being delivered right into your hands! Also, you did not even spend a single cent to acquire it!"

Zhang Xiaoshen looked stunned, as the logic he was familiar with was shattered when he saw that the box that contained the thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma was given to Chen Xiaobei. The moment he thought about he just received the white jade Ganoderma for free, he was elated. However, he could never tell anyone about the reason behind this crazy encounter.

In the first row.

Hikari Okazaka's face was extremely red. Feeling embarrassed, he knew that he just experienced an epic fail moment. That was why he was rendered speechless. On the other hand, Demonic Fox was looking calm from the outside. Deep inside her heart, she was actually feeling really shocked. Though she knew that Chen Xiaobei was no ordinary person, she still underestimated him somehow. With only a single sentence, she managed to make Lin Caoyin give him the white jade Ganoderma.

Demonic Fox came to a conclusion that the people that supported Chen Xiaobei's back must be extremely terrifying!

On the other hand, Damien had noticed that Chen Xiaobei was not as simple as he thought.

"Something is not right! I think that kid is trying to cover up his real identity! He is not who we thought he is supposed to be!"

"What should we do now? Should we change the plan?" asked the follower in a nervous manner.

"Our plan is perfect! Even an elite with Celestial cultivation will not survive from our plan! Just stick with it!"

"Yes!"

The follower nodded his head and stepped back in a calm manner. It was as if the of them were extremely confident that the plan would turn out to be successful no matter what!

"Ladies and gentlemen! Next! We shall take a look at our second item!"

Immediately, two sexy bunny girls pushed out a cart with a metal box on it that was one meter in length and width. There were intricate pyramids and sphinxes engraved on all sides of the box. A cart was used to fetch the box because it weighed at least 500 pounds!

"Regarding the second item, I believe that we had made a detailed introduction earlier as well! So, this is the box that a pharaoh brought with him when he died! I'm not going to repeat all the other information about this box. The starting bid on this item is one billion dollars! Every bid that you make must not be less than one million! You can begin to bid for it now!"

Upon hearing that, the entire auction hall was deadly silent. The reaction from the crowd was completely different from when the auctioneer presented the white jade Ganoderma. One minute had passed and no one made a single bid.

"It seems like this treasure chest is going to be left aside!"

"Sounds right to me! Firstly, no one knows what's inside it! Secondly, there's no one can open the box! Using one billion dollars to purchase an antique does not make any sense at all! Unless there is something wrong with the person's brain, I don't think there will be anyone stupid enough to bid for this item!"

"That's right! The owner of this treasure chest is trying to look for someone dumb to purchase it! I wonder who will be stupid enough to buy it!"

....

With all kind of comments going on around the auction hall, most of them treated this metal box as only a piece of antique. To them, only a fool would spend one billion dollars to purchase it.

"Just announce that no one is going to buy this stupid box! Stop wasting our time! Bring out the thousand-year-old Ambergris that we've been waiting for!" Hikari Okazaka urged.

Upon hearing that, everyone started to do the same as well.

"Hold on! Mr. Focker would be embarrassed if no one places a bid on this box. Let me the first one that bid for it!"

Out of instinct, the auctioneer assumed that no one was going to bid for it anymore.

"1.01 billion! Going once! Going twice! Going thrice!"

Suddenly, a loud voice could be heard from the back row.

"Two billion!"

"What the f*ck?! Who called two billion? Is he out of his mind?"

"The other only increased the bid by one million. Then he jumped in and raised it by one billion?! He is insane!

"Look! Look! That's him! That's the guy made the bid!"

...

The audience's gaze turned to Chen Xiaobei again. However, having been slapped by Chen Xiaobei earlier, they quieten down – not daring to throw insults at Chen Xiaobei.

The ones who were with Chen Xiaobei, on the other hand, were unnerved.

"Xiaobei, what are you doing?" Lin Xiang who was very troubled asked, "Everyone said that the box is a useless piece of junk. Why did he bid… At such a high price?! Isn't that a waste of money?"

Lin Caoyin shook her head and said, "Mr. Chen is not an ordinary man. I don't understand what is he trying to do but he can definitely afford this. We don't have to worry about anything.

Lin Xiang was not even in the slightest bit relieved to hear this.

She was a thrifty woman – when they were shopping for clothes, she even advised Chen Xiaobei to be more careful with his spending.

How could she have any peace of mind seeing Chen Xiaobei splurge on a box that nobody wanted?

Just then. 

Zhang Xiaoshen shrieked, "Hey! What the hell are you blindly calling out? What do you know about the box? How could you bid two billion on it?

"Of course, there are treasures inside!"

Chen Xiaobei smirked. He had already seen the contents of the box with his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes.

"Oh please drop the act!" Zhang Xiaoshen frowned and said, "The box is made of a very special material! Even if you had the latest gadgets, no one would be able to detect what's inside the box! How is it possible that you know what's inside?"

"I have eyes that see through it. That's how!"

Chen Xiaobei laughed. 

"Hey, how old are you? Why are you still cracking this kind of jokes? Why don't you just say that you are a god?" Zhang Xiaoshen did not believe anything that Chen Xiaobei said.

"Mm, technically, this ability to see through things is actually an ability of a deity." Chen Xiaobei said, straight-faced.

"What the heck! Can't you be serious for a moment?"

Zhang Xiaoshen was so mad you could only see the whites of his eyes. "I was merely helping you! This is for your good. If you are not going to listen to me, I shall leave you be!"

Chen Xiaobei smiled and did not reply to him. Sooner or later, Zhang Xiaoshen would know if Chen Xiaobei was just bluffing him.

Whispers could be heard from the people in the first row. 

"That kid is retarded!" Hikari Okazaka suddenly spoke. He laughed manically. "Spending two billion dollars on a crappy box that cannot be opened is like throwing money into the sea! How stupid! Hahaha…"

Demonic Fox had yet recovered from the previous shock. She was still racking her head, trying to figure out what Chen Xiaobei was doing.

But she was more certain than ever that Chen Xiaobei would never do anything stupid!

She had never believed in anyone like that before. Just like believing in herself, she knew that Chen Xiaobei was going to give the audience a second wave of shock really soon.

"Hikari-san! Raise the bid! I'm sure that there is something extremely valuable in that box!" Demonic Fox said without as much as batting an eyelid.

"What? You want to keep bidding? Are you insane?" Hikari Okazaka said scornfully, "No one will pay one billion for that piece of junk! The price has risen to two billion now! Only a fool will increase the bid!"

"Hikari San! You have to trust me!" Demonic Fox said gravely, "I can guarantee that the box is valuable. It is definitely worth way more than two billion dollars!"

"Yinmu, you have always been a sensible and restrained woman. Why are you so impulsive today?" Hikari Okazaka looked disgustedly at the chest and said, "To me, two million is nothing. But I will not spend it on something so stupid…"

"I bid four billion!"

Hikari Okazaka nearly bit his own tongue in surprise.

Having thought things through, Damien raised his paddle.

What a shocker! 

"What in the f*cking world?! Damien actually raised the bid?" What is the meaning of this?"

"Crazy! This world has gone mad! People spending four billion American dollars on a broken box. It's a waste of money!" 

"No! No! Damien, the grand duke is a very level-headed person! He would never do anything rash! Could the box really be worth four billion dollars?"

"That's right! That must be it! That kid in the last row and Damien, the grand duke must know the true value of the box, that's why they are bidding such a huge amount on it!"

"If that's so. Then that kid and Damien, the grand duke are not foolish at all but are very shrewd!"

...

The room exploded with exclamations. When both Chen Xiaobei and Damien raised the bid, everyone realized that the broken box was actually extremely valuable.

"See that, Xiang'er? Mr. Chen is not as simple as you think he is. He is a reasonable man who does things with a purpose!" Lin Caoyin said with a smile.

"Yes… You were right…" Lin Xiang nodded hazily.

A few seconds ago, she was just complaining that Chen Xiaobei was squandering money; but a few seconds later, she could not help but be impressed by him!

Only Chen Xiaobei had the wisdom in recognizing the value of things that people deemed as junk.

"That's so awesome! My brother!"

Zhang Xiaoshen raised his brows, still taken aback by what had just happened, "Do you really have X-ray vision?"

Chen Xiaobei smirked and said, "Not only do I have X-ray vision, but also the ability to read minds!"

"Read minds?" Zhang Xiaoshen was taken aback. "You mean like when the FBI investigate people using psychology?"

"Right! It was through my observation of the grand duke's expression and movements that I deduced that he's lying!" Chen Xiaobei bluffed with a straight face, "When he first raised the bid price, it was not because he wanted to show respect to Focker, he wanted the chest for himself! That is how I realize that the chest is actually a valuable item!"

"Oh!" Zhang Xiaoshen looked admiringly at Chen Xiaobei and said, "My brother! You are a man with skills! Can you please teach me how to read minds?"

Obviously, compared to the unfounded X-ray eyes, Zhang Xiaoshen is more willing to believe the more credible mind-reading reason. Clearly, Chen Xiaobei merely made them up. "I'm afraid it is impossible with your qualification." Chen Xiaobei shrugged. Inside, he was cracking up. "Mind-reading my foot! If it were not for the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes, no one would know what's inside the box!"

"Am I not qualified?" Zhang Xiaoshen looked defeated but he did not dwell on it, but quickly changed the topic and asked, "So what are you going to do next? Damien just bid four billion! That's not a small sum!"

"Just raise the bid!" Chen Xiaobei raised his paddle and said, "I bid eight billion!"

Zhang Xiaoshen gasped. "A… Another… Twofold! What is inside that box?"

Everyone else was also asking the same question – what was inside that box?

"What the hell is Xiaobei thinking? What's inside the box? I know that he really wants to get his hands on the box but he could have increased the price slowly, right?! What if the Blood Descendant grand duke decides not to fight with Xiaobei anymore?! And he will end up in spending a lot of unnecessary money!" said Lin Xiang.

"Xiang'er, you need to learn how to place your trust in Mr. Chen! I'm pretty sure that is a good reason behind his decision! The thing that is being kept inside the box could worth more than eight billion!" said Lin Caoyin in a serious manner.

"How is that even possible? What kind of things can sell that kind of ridiculous price?"

In the first row.

"What the f*ck! That kid just increased the price by double! I have attended hundreds of auctions! I have never seen someone as crazy as him! This is truly unbelievable! Why would he choose to sit at the back row since he is so freaking rich?!" asked Hikari Okazaka.

"Clearly, he is trying to cover his real identity in front of others! Mr. Hikari! You must trust me! Go and participate in bidding for the box! I can guarantee that the thing that is being kept inside the box must be extremely valuable!"

"Take part in the bidding?"

Taken aback, Hikari Okazaka started to feel tempted to bid for the box. After all, he just witnessed that Damien and Chen Xiaobei throwing out cash to compete with each other to get their hands on the box. Thinking it through, he knew that there must be something extremely valuable being kept inside the treasure chest. However, he was the one that declared that only idiots would take part in bidding for it – changing his words was equivalent to slapping his own face.

"I'm not going to do it! I'm pretty sure that the two of them do not know what is inside the treasure chest as well! They are just gambling big! Imagine if the things inside it is a person's ashes! That would be a huge bummer!"

Clearly, Hikairi Okazaka cared about his pride more than anything else.

"Mr. Hikari! You need to believe in me! I beg you! Please take part in the bidding! You know that money is never your concern! You will be filled with regret if you still refuse to listen to me!"

According to how well Demonic Fox knew Chen Xiaobei, she was almost certain that Chen Xiaobei had gotten to know that the item inside the treasure chest was worth more than eight billion! And the truth was Demonic Fox was actually right about it! Earlier, Chen Xiaobei had already used his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to take a look at the content inside the treasure chest.

Numerous crystals that were as big as coins were being stored inside the treasure chest. There was a good amount of pure Spiritual Qi inside every single crystal. And this was the thing that every Jianghu elites were looking for. This kind of crystal was commonly known as Spiritual Stones. Seeing that Chen Xiaobei got so excited over the treasure chest, there were actually a total of two thousand Spiritual Stones being stored inside it! That was why, he did not mind to increase the bid by an obscene amount of money. Let alone eight billion! He could still earn a lot if the price was increased to eighty billion!

Being able to figure out Chen Xiaobei's secret, Demonic Fox was actually very smart, observant, and brave. However, the man that sat beside her was just a fool.

"I have told you that I'm not going to bid for that stupid box! Can you please cut it out?!" said Hikari Okazaka.

"But…"

Demonic Fox still wanted to try one last time to convince him.

"Shut up! Don't forget that you are the future empress of Japan! You are embarrassing me by talking non-stop here!"

"I-I… Understand…"

With her lips pursed, Demonic Fox felt really indignant. Earlier, Demonic Fox thought that Hikari Okazaka was a close to perfect man. Now, once she compared him with Chen Xiaobei, she felt that Hikari Okazaka was no longer the man she thought he would be. To Demonic Fox, Chen Xiaobei was the kind of man that could achieve something really big in his life! No one would ever know his limit! Someday, he could turn the world upside down! Or maybe he could bring a big change to this world!

On the other hand, Hikari Okazaka is just a second-generation filthy rich man. It would be great if he could protect his status in Japan. It was simply impossible for him to achieve something bigger anymore. Feeling disappointed, Demonic Fox wished that the person that sat beside her was Chen Xiaobei but not Hikari Okazaka.

Knowing that she could no longer put any hope on him, Demonic Fox slowly turned her head and looked at Damien. At this moment, only he could suppress Chen Xiaobei's domineering presence.

Though Chen Xiaobei might look calm from the surface, he was actually extremely nervous.

"Bastard, better don't increase the price anymore! I have only eleven billion in my account! I will definitely lose to him if he insists on buying it!"

Seemingly, the purpose Chen Xiaobei increased the price was to make Damien surrender to him. This was no more than psychological warfare. If he could make Damien took a step back, Chen Xiaobei would be able to use eight billion to exchange with something that cost around three hundred billion! That two thousand Spiritual Stones were the thing that Chen Xiaobei needed the most right now because his Chaos Sword Essence just consumed five thousand Spiritual Stones from him days ago. He would be left in a state of frustration if he failed to purchase this treasure chest.

"Mr. Chen! Initially, I have something very important to do today! But, I decided to delay my plan because of this treasure chest!"

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei felt extremely disappointed.

'Shit! This is bad! Considering the fact that Damien is willing to delay his important plan to purchase this treasure chest, I think he will definitely come up with everything that he has to purchase it!"

However, the thing that was about to happen next went beyond Chen Xiaobei's expectation.

"Truth to be told, the treasure chest is very important for me but I don't think I possess the skill set to unlock this treasure chest! I would like to ask everyone to be our witness, I will give up on bidding the treasure chest if Mr. Chen can unlock this treasure chest in front of us!" said Damien in a serious tone.

"Unlock the treasure chest? We are more than willing to become your witness! But, can that kid do it?"

Feeling doubtful, the crowd did not think Chen Xiaobei could unlock the treasure chest. The owner of this item and Damien would not have given up on it, if it could be unlocked easily. 

"Everyone! Calm down! I'm pretty sure Mr. Chen knows a thing or two about this treasure chest since he is willing to offer eight billion dollars to buy this treasure chest! Mr. Chen, are you interested in trying it? You can use eight billion to purchase this treasure chest if you can unlock this treasure chest in front of everyone!"

"Alright!" replied Chen Xiaobei in a confident manner. 

"You really can unlock the treasure chest?!"

Having to squint his eyes, a sense of excitement could be seen from Damien's blood red eyes. It was true that he could not unlock the treasure chest himself. That was why he wanted to try to ask Chen Xiaobei to unlock it instead. To his surprise, Chen Xiaobei agreed to it without any hesitation.

"I have my ways to unlock it! Just watch me!"

With a confident smile, Chen Xiaobei got up and walked up the stage.

"Who on earth is this guy? Lots of people have tried to unlock the treasure chest but all of them have failed to do so! He really thinks that he can unlock it?"

"You are right! I have heard that the owner of the treasure chest had attempted to use explosives and acid to unlock the treasure chest. Seemingly, he has failed miserably! I can't even see a dent on that treasure chest! It's truly unbelievable that the kid claims that he can unlock the treasure chest!"

"Stop guessing! Let just sit back and watch the show! Our curiosity will be fulfilled if he can unlock the treasure chest in front of us!"

"That's right! I really want to know what's being stored inside the treasure chest! No matter what the item is, I'm pretty sure it is extremely valuable since he is willing to offer eight billion dollars to buy it!"

.....

With all the comments flying around, everyone's curiosity was being piqued. And they could not wait for Chen Xiaobei to unlock the treasure chest and show them what was being stored inside it.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I'm going to unlock it now!"

In front of everyone, Chen Xiaobei stepped on the stage officially. To ordinary human beings, it was true that it was almost impossible for them to unlock it. However, Chen Xiaobei possessed an item that could help him to unlock all kinds of locks in this world. With everyone sitting down there as his witness, he did not need to worry that Damien might break his promise. The moment Chen Xiaobei thought about using eight billion to buy something that worth three hundred billion, he could not help but feel elated.

"Can Xiaobei unlock that treasure chest? What's being stored inside the treasure chest?"

Lin Xiang stared at Chen Xiaobei while mumbling.

"I want to know as well…"

With great anticipation, Lin Caoyin could not move her eyes away from Chen Xiaobei.

In the first row.

"Grand duke. Look at that kid! He seems really confident. He might be able to unlock the treasure chest in front of everyone! Are you really going to hand over the treasure chest to him? According to the information from the ancient book of Blood Descendant, a treasure chest like that is usually filled with Spiritual Stones!"

"Hehe… I don't mind giving it to him if he can unlock it… Have you forgotten about our plan?"

"Plan? I understand now! You are planning to use that kid as a tool to do us the favor! We will be able to claim it once we kill him!"

"Hehe… Seems like you are smarter than I thought! Unfortunately, that kid still doesn't know that he is about to be killed by us soon! He thought that he is filled with luck today. To his surprise, hell will be unleashed upon him soon and heaven will be gone!"

"Grand duke! You are so smart! Too smart!"

The follower gave Damien a thumbs up while smiling excitedly.

Beside him, Demonic Fox had fixed her gaze on Chen Xiaobei's back. Though she did not know what was being stored inside the treasure chest, she knew that Chen Xiaobei was going to give everyone a big shock very soon.

"Yinmu! Why are you keep on looking at that man? Please remember that I'm still your fiancé!" said Hikari Okazaka in a displeased manner.

"Don't you want to know what's inside the treasure chest?" said Demonic Fox in a disgusted manner.

"There's nothing to see! That bastard is just trying to show off in front of everyone! I don't think he can unlock that treasure chest! Even if he can open the treasure chest, I'm pretty sure there are no good things inside it! Maybe an evil spirit will be unleashed once he opens the treasure chest and it will haunt him for life!"

Demonic Fox shook her head and she had no intention to continue to talk to him. The more she compared her fiancé with Chen Xiaobei, the more she felt that Hikari Okazaka was just a useless man. She even looked forward to watch him be slapped by Chen Xiaobei.

*Klak*

Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei placed his palm on the treasure chest. He did not move much but the sound of metal cracking beneath his palm could be heard by everyone.

*Klak*

*Klak*

*Klak*

Wherever his hands moved, there would be cracks forming on the treasure chest. He then used his palm to do a circular movement and a hole was being formed on top of the treasure chest. The contents were finally revealed to everyone.

"Oh… Oh my god… It's Spiritual Stones! A chest full of Spiritual Stones!"

The auctioneer could not help but shout into the microphone. The loud noise caused everyone in the auction hall to fall into a state of astonishment. Hundred of them stared at the contents of the treasure chest, frozen like statues.

"This is so awesome! My brother! There are at least two thousand Spiritual Stones stored inside the treasure chest! Using only eight billion dollars to buy all of it is such an insane deal!"

"Shijie… Those… Those are Spiritual Stones?" asked Lin Xiang in a shocking manner.

After joining Tidal Faction, she came to a realization that Spiritual Stones were the kind of thing that every Jianghu elite was looking for. On regular days, she could hardly come across a Spiritual Stone. Now, there were two thousand of it being presented in front of her – making her doubt that this was actually a dream.

"It's… It's Spiritual Stones! Two thousand Spiritual Stones… Not even Tidal Faction's vault contains so many Spiritual Stones… Mr. Chen is such a godly person!"

In the front row.

Demonic Fox was looking at Chen Xiaobei with her mouth wide open.

Though she expected that Chen Xiaobei would give everyone a huge surprise, she was still shocked by what she just witnessed. This time, Japan had emptied out their vault to allow Hikari Okazaka to bring eight thousand Spiritual Stones with him. One could definitely imagine that two thousand Spiritual Stones were worth an obscene amount of money!

"No! This is not possible! I must be dreaming!"

*Ish…*

"This is so painful… This is not a dream!"

Hikari Okazaka could not help but pinch his face to make sure that he was not dreaming.

"Oh god… That bastard just receive two thousand Spiritual Stones from unlocking the treasure chest!"

"With only eight billion dollars, he has earned two thousand Spiritual Stones!"

"How foolish! I should have bid for it as well!"

Hikari Okazaka felt extreme regret that he had chosen not to bid for it earlier. His face was completely twisted. Immediately, Demonic Fox glared at him and chided him in her heart.

'Dumbass!'
