Chapter - 373 The Primeval Lord of Heaven Storms Out in Anger
That thing? Bug?
Chen Xiaobei's message had the effect of an atomic bomb detonation in the Red Envelope chat group. Most of the members were outraged, while followers of Chanism quickly gave Chen Xiaobei an explanation.
Jiang Ziya: Before humans came into existence, the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada lived as one of the five Savage Insects and the most powerful Spiritual Beast! It produces eggs just once every ten thousand years, which also hatch once every ten thousand years, and the offspring would only grow a pair of wings every ten thousand years!
Guang Chengzi: It's extremely precious! I fear that there may just be a single Twelve-Winged Golden Cicada left within the three realms!
Randeng Daoren: Furthermore, it's still a larva. God Chen, you could keep it as a pet; it will be loyal to you for the rest of your life!
Chen Xiaobei: Hehe… You people seem to hold it in such high regard! But in the end, it's still a bug!
The truth was that Chen Xiaobei had been flabbergasted after he learned about the precious value of the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada.
However, he wanted to embarrass Chanism by devaluing the insect, and in turn provoke the Primeval Lord of Heaven! He was certain that the old man wanted to show off by sending his most valuable item; anyone could tell that the Primeval Lord of Heaven was now livid.
Jiang Ziya: Xiaobei Shidi, you don't have to wait that long. The Twelve Wings Golden Cicada is born with a special ability – it can eat anything even when it's still a larva. It has an insatiable appetite too!
Chen Xiaobei: Wow! Now it's a gluttonous fiend! Damn it, I'm going to be poor just buying food to feed it.
Others: What the hell! It's like you don't want this mythical Savage Insect! You could always give it to us if you don't like it; we aren't afraid of becoming poor!
Chen Xiaobei: That's none of your business. I'm the one who snatched the Red Envelope that carried it – meaning that fate has bound me to this bug! I would just have to feed it half a bun every day!
Jiang Ziya: Xiaobei Shidi! That's not how you treat a legendary treasure!
Yuding Zhenren: Xiaobei Shidi! You have acquired this Twelve Wings Golden Cicada by fate even when the Twelve Golden Deities wanted it so badly! Even our Sifu did not give one to us, so please don't treat it so poorly!
Nanji Xianweng: That's right! My heart aches the moment I heard that you're going to feed this extremely precious Spiritual Being with only half a bun per day!
Chen Xiaobei: Fine, fine! I'll feed it one whole bun since you guys keep insisting that it's some extremely valuable creature! I'll also throw in a few pieces of pickled vegetables! That's all! (Pout)
The Chanism faction were utterly speechless – they simply could not handle Chen Xiaobei.
That being said, the title of most frustrated deity went to the Primeval Lord of Heaven! He did not say a single word from the start – he was definitely too angry to say a thing!
Any other person who had received such a monumental present from the Primeval Lord of Heaven would have been eternally grateful. On the other hand, this Chen Xiaobei kept belittling the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada - there was little wonder that the deity would be irked.
Primeval Lord of Heaven: I have other matters to attend to! I shall take my leave!
"Bahahaha… I've finally managed to make him go away! Operation Slap-in-the-Face is a huge success! This is fantastic!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled triumphantly as he raised his phone in the air. He was only human, and yet he had managed to humiliate the Primeval Lord of Heaven and the Chanism movement itself. It was definitely a tremendous achievement!
However, he was not going to stop there. Returning to his phone, he began to fan the flames in the group.
Chen Xiaobei: Followers of Chanism! Let the wave of Red Envelopes begin! Everyone is waiting for your awesome Red Envelopes!
Others: Let's do this! After all, Chanism is the most powerful group in heaven! Your faction would definitely have all kinds of interesting items; you're are not allowed to leave if we don't see a flood of Red Envelopes from you people!
Now, the members of Chanism would experience the wonderful feeling of being forced to do one's bidding! Left without a choice, they began to send their Red Envelopes to the group.
Ding!
[Yun Zhongzi has just sent a Red Envelope to the group!]
Ding!
[Jiang Ziya has just sent a Red Envelope to the group!]
Ding!
[Shen Gongpao has just sent a Red Envelope to the group!]
....
Chanism followers were the disciples of the Primeval Lord of Heaven; some of them had their own disciples as well. In short, a lot of deities were sending Red Envelopes to the group – and the items kept coming wave after wave.
"I'll snatch this one! I'll snatch that one! Snatch! Snatch! Snatch!" Gritting his teeth, Chen Xiaobei tried his best to grab as many Red Envelopes as possible.
He was sure that the luck he acquired recently had won him the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada! This meant that his fortune would wear out quite soon, so he plans to spend the rest of it on this Red Envelope Snatching Session! Later, he would be able to help Xiangyu and Wenyuan redeem their souls without leaving anything to waste.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have just snatched a Red Envelope from Jiang Ziya! You have received the three Pure Yang Swords of Talisman! It has been stored in your treasure chest!]
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have just snatched a Red Envelope from Nanji Xianweng! You have received three South Pole Spiritual Jade Fruits! It has been stored in your treasure chest!]
"Hmmm…. Just two red packets – maybe I've used up too much luck on acquiring the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada. Well, this is still a pleasant ending!" Chen Xiaobei smiled contentedly.
As the waves of Red Envelope ceased, the deities began to hold small talk.
"Hmmm? It seems like they haven't decided which deities are coming to earth! Well, that's none of my concern; they'd inform me when they did! I would just have to sit tight and wait."
And so, Chen Xiaobei left the group and messaged Yanwang. With all his luck finished, there was nothing stopping him from redeeming the souls of Xiangyu and Wenyuan.
Yanwang: What?! God Chen, have you thought it through? That's three hundred and thirty-three thousand merit points! That's not a small number!
Chen Xiaobei: There's nothing to think through. Merit points are nothing compared to brothers and friends!
Yanwang: God Chen, you're a real man! I'm impressed! (Thumbs up!) Well, let me give you a tip since you're such a nice guy; you shouldn't mess around with Chanism! I'm really afraid that they would make you pay after you humiliated them!
Chen Xiaobei: Thank you so much for your tip! I will remember this favor!
Yanwang: You're most welcomed! We are good friends after all so you don't have to repay me. Alright! Now, send me the merit points, and I'll help you exchange them for Soul Reclamator Tokens.
Chen Xiaobei did so, and his merit points immediately plummeted to zero.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have just snatched a Red Envelope from Yanwang! You have received two pieces of Soul Reclamator Tokens! It has been stored in your treasure chest!]
Upon receiving the Red Envelopes, Chen Xiaobei rose and began to leave the casino.
"Chen Xiaobei! Where are you going?" Qiu Hairui asked.
"Stop asking! Wait here!" He shouted back, and Qiu Hairui was left petrified.
