However, staying here means losing both money and face. Ordering a custom Count watch costs millions, and although he’s wealthy, he can’t stand losing to others for nothing.

But when Wang Hao decided to leave, it somewhat looked like he couldn’t handle losing.

The crowd couldn’t help but gossip behind his back, feeling that Wang Hao’s behavior was dull and shameful. With such a personality, he wasn’t likely to have any good friends.

Nobody dared to mock him to his face, but they weren’t courteous behind his back.

Gao Xuan paid no attention to Wang Hao and just focused on finishing his whole roast beef. His digestive ability was a hundred times that of a normal person, and the beef would be digested the moment it entered his stomach.

The converted energy was quickly absorbed by his body, and his cells metabolized at a hundredfold rate. In this process, the food would leave only a trace of residue.

After eating an entire cow, Gao Xuan was indeed a bit full. If he ate more, he could probably manage another whole cow, but there was no need.

Gao Xuan put down the knife and stood up, wiping his hands with a napkin. He nodded to Qi Yan and simply turned to leave.

Qian Jiayu felt a bit embarrassed: "I didn’t bring enough cash, Sister Yan, can you cover for me? I’ll pay you back tomorrow."

Qi Yan was feeling quite proud at this moment, Gao Xuan had really boosted her standing significantly.

To be honest, having a big appetite isn’t much of a talent. It’s just about being able to eat, which often earns one the nickname of a glutton.

But Gao Xuan was different; it wasn’t just about being able to eat for him, it was practically a superpower. Three hundred pounds of meat consumed in an hour without a change in expression or a bulging stomach—this was a marvel!

After Gao Xuan finished the whole roast beef, the assembled nobility and wealthy were truly astounded. This wasn’t some magic trick; they watched with their own eyes as Gao Xuan devoured the meat piece by piece.

Even though they couldn’t figure out how Gao Xuan did it, their expressions towards him shifted from teasing to a mix of inexplicable awe.

Qi Yan waved at Qian Jiayu: "We’re sisters, you don’t need to pay. I’ll cover for him."

Qian Jiayu was noncommittal. She thought for a moment and said, "I really think this guy is extraordinary. If he’s just your bodyguard, why not give him to me?"

Qi Yan laughed, "Sister, that wouldn’t be convenient. Li Yan is quite fond of him and needs him to drive her every day. I’ll let you have him when things aren’t as hectic."

Qian Jiayu knew it was just an excuse and smiled without saying anything further.

The banquet concluded with everyone feeling thoroughly entertained, and they took their leave. Guests couldn’t wait to find someone to share the day’s novel stories with.

Qi Yan saw off the numerous guests and was still a bit excited. She asked her personal maid to summon Gao Xuan to her bedroom.

By this time, it was already 1 a.m., and even the dogs on night watch at the manor were resting. It was quiet outside.

The bedroom, decorated in European style, had a luxurious bed as its most striking feature. With gauzy curtains hanging low and a dim light shining, it was difficult for Gao Xuan to see Qi Yan’s expression from where she sat on the bed.

But she liked this kind of hazy feeling. She wore only a silk camisole, dressed coolly and sexily.

She reclined against the pillow, her long legs exposed quite boldly. After all, behind the curtains, Gao Xuan couldn’t see clearly.

Qi Yan was mistaken. Gao Xuan’s vision was incredibly sharp. Even without a light, he could see Qi Yan under the starlight, her proportionate long legs clearly visible.

Although Qi Yan was thirty, she maintained herself well. Of course, this was also due to her natural tight skin; her long legs were especially fair and smooth with a seductive luster under the light.

This woman had a well-endowed chest that seemed ready to spill out of her neckline.

Qi Yan had drunk quite a bit by now. Though sober, her emotions were unrestrained, giving her a subtle tipsy feeling.

That’s actually the state most people aim for when drinking.

Qi Yan curiously asked, "Where did all that meat you ate go? Can you tell me?"

Gao Xuan chuckled and said, "It all got transformed into... energy, spirit, and essence. This is the Daoist Cyan Dragon Devouring the Sea method."

For some reason, Qi Yan could only remember one word. She felt a little hot all over and couldn’t help licking her lips, "Can I learn it?"

"Sure, I’ll teach you."

Gao Xuan said, lifting the curtain as he approached the bed. Qi Yan was startled and covered her chest, "What are you doing?"

"Such a supreme method doesn’t pass through six ears, only by oral tradition."

With that, Gao Xuan casually shrugged off his clothes. Though Qi Yan wanted to speak, she caught a glimpse of Gao Xuan’s muscular physique, and her legs softened as a seductive gaze poured from her eyes.

She could only stare at Gao Xuan, unable to utter a word.

Gao Xuan didn’t wait for an invitation from Qi Yan. There was no need to talk; just actions were enough...

Crowning the dragon and phoenix, Cloud Formation and Rainfall.

That night, Qi Yan suddenly realized the goodness of a man, suddenly understood that a woman could be so excited and joyful...

When dawn came, Qi Yan, despite being utterly exhausted, gently nudged Gao Xuan: "You’d better leave now. Don’t let anyone see. About last night,"

Before Qi Yan could finish, Gao Xuan rolled out of bed to dress, "I know, let’s just pretend it never happened. Don’t worry, I won’t say a word. Alright, goodbye."

Qi Yan was stunned. It was just what she had in mind, but Gao Xuan’s utterly unhesitant departure made her feel uncomfortably like he was a cad in a hurry to pull up his pants and leave!

But she was too exhausted, so she told the maid something while forcing herself to stay awake, then drifted off to sleep.

When Gao Xuan descended to the living room from the third floor, he saw Qi Yan’s two bodyguards standing there.

The bodyguards didn’t look at Gao Xuan kindly, and he smiled at them. Though he said nothing, the smugness in his smile was enough to be infuriating.
