Chapter 1255 - 1355: Heading to Shaolin Temple
Just the day after Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang left, the city of South Sea plunged into another conspiracy.
About a hundred kilometers away from Shaolin Temple, Lin Wushuang and Chen Tianlong found a hotel in a small town, planning to stay the night. After all, they were about to reach Shaolin Temple and couldn’t use Xiaogu to fly, as it would be disrespectful to the Buddhist Land.
It was already dark by then.
"Chen Tianlong, let’s stay at that hotel up ahead, it looks pretty good," said Lin Wushuang, pointing to a hotel called Penglai Hotel ahead. It had six floors and didn’t look new nor old, overall giving a decent impression.
Three or four cars were sparsely parked under the hotel, none of them seemed luxurious. But that wasn’t surprising; in a small town, wealthy people weren’t abundant.
Chen Tianlong’s gaze lingered on a BMW, which stood out quite a bit and seemed to have a license plate from South Sea City. Judging by the dust covering it, it had probably been parked there for a while.
After some thought, Chen Tianlong led Lin Wushuang inside.
There were two people in the hotel lobby: a receptionist and a middle-aged security guard in his forties.
Both appeared a bit sleepy at the moment.
No, to be precise, the security guard was already asleep, while the receptionist was nodding off. From this, it seemed the business wasn’t doing well.
"Receptionist!"
The call from Chen Tianlong startled the drowsy receptionist, who nearly fell to the floor.
The middle-aged security guard at the door was better off, immediately opening his eyes upon seeing the two strangers. He stood up, grabbed an iron rod, and rushed over, "What are you two here for?"
Chen Tianlong was taken aback. Had he entered the wrong place, or what? Wasn’t it obvious they were here to stay at the hotel? Why ask what they were doing here?
"Old Zeng, are you stupid? They’re here to check-in," the receptionist quickly responded, calling out urgently.
"Ah? Oh, sorry, haha, I just fell asleep, a bit muddled," the security guard said apologetically.
"...."
Chen Tianlong was speechless, but since they had explained, there was no point in being stubborn. He turned to the receptionist and said, "Get me a room."
"Okay, would you like a standard room or a deluxe room? The standard is three hundred, deluxe is four hundred and eighty," the receptionist said skillfully.
"Deluxe," Chen Tianlong replied directly.
After all, he was out with a lady; it couldn’t be too stingy. Besides, he was now a billionaire, and there was no need to haggle over such a small amount.
Lin Wushuang didn’t mind; she was willing to stay in any room Chen Tianlong wanted, as long as he was there with her.
"Okay, Room 307 on the third floor," the receptionist smiled, handing over the key and power card.
After paying, the two headed towards the elevator. Just then, the elevator came down from above, and a person in a hat emerged, the brim was pressed low, similar to the one Chen Tianlong wore in a Shanghai Beach style before.
Chen Tianlong couldn’t see the person’s face clearly as they deliberately walked out with their head lowered. The silhouette seemed familiar, but he couldn’t figure out who the person was.
Without thinking much, the two entered the elevator, pressed the button for the third floor, and it started.
As they were about to reach the third floor, right between the second and third floors, there was a sudden power outage.
The elevator halted in place, completely still. Lin Wushuang wasn’t afraid because she was no longer the young lady she used to be but a high-level cultivator, Celestial Dao six-star.
This strength was a formidable presence in the Mortal Realm and even in the cultivation world.
The moment the power cut off, Chen Tianlong had already activated his Heart Method, closing his eyes, making everything around him clear and visible. He used X-ray to scan the surroundings, finding no suspicious people.
It was just that the long-idle car in the hotel’s parking lot suddenly started, and the person inside was the one who had just worn the hat.
To see the person’s face clearly, Chen Tianlong attempted to continue using X-ray, but to his frustration, the person covered their face with their hand, as if they anticipated it.
Chen Tianlong’s X-ray couldn’t identify the true appearance with close-range obstruction.
This person clearly knew Chen Tianlong well, causing him to feel a tinge of fear. Who was this person, and why were they so powerful?
Did they even know about his X-ray ability?
While Chen Tianlong was deep in thought, the elevator suddenly resumed operation, its lights flickered twice and turned back on.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and Chen Tianlong quickly walked out with Lin Wushuang.
"Chen Tianlong, don’t you feel something’s odd, this town seems abnormal. From the moment we entered the hotel, the receptionist and the security guard, everything seems not quite right, do you feel the same?" Lin Wushuang shared her observations.
"It does feel a bit odd."
Chen Tianlong nodded before holding Lin Wushuang’s hand and heading towards their room.
They stopped at Room 307; after opening the door, Chen Tianlong signaled Lin Wushuang to wait outside. Considering the strange incident earlier, he couldn’t help but be cautious.
After turning on the lights, Chen Tianlong quickly scanned the room, finding nothing unusual. He then allowed Lin Wushuang in.
"Chen Tianlong, is everything alright?" Lin Wushuang, despite her high abilities, still felt a bit like an ordinary girl, somewhat concerned.
Chen Tianlong grinned, "Don’t worry, I’m here, nothing to worry about, come rest a bit."
Lin Wushuang finally relaxed, smiling as she sat on the bed.
"Wushuang, are you hungry? Should we go grab a meal together?"
After resting for a while, Chen Tianlong found himself getting hungry and suggested.
"A bit, but I’d like to rest a bit," Lin Wushuang said, looking at the quiet surroundings, wanting to spend more time with Chen Tianlong, knowing that in South Sea City, their alone time wasn’t much.
Also, the time they spend in the same room was even less.
"Alright, no problem," Chen Tianlong didn’t mind, laying directly on the bed, "Wushuang, won’t you come lie down with me?"
"Huh? Well... lying down, is that okay?" Lin Wushuang was clearly shy.
But as soon as she spoke, Chen Tianlong suddenly embraced her from behind, pulling her onto the bed, flipping over to press against her.
"Oh, Chen Tianlong, what are you doing?" she blushed, this was asking the obvious.
"Nothing, just doing what couples are supposed to do," Chen Tianlong smiled devilishly, revealing his Evil Young Master nature, leaning in closer.
Knowing she couldn’t escape, Lin Wushuang swiftly wrapped her arms around Chen Tianlong’s neck, pulling him closer for a kiss.
Chen Tianlong was surprised at how aggressive she became when she was being active.
But just as they were about to indulge in passion, a sudden gust of wind blew in through the window, strangely strong considering they were only on the third floor.
While Chen Tianlong enjoyed the moment, his prophetic instincts quickly sensed impending danger.
"Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong? Am I... not doing it right, so..."
"Shh~"
Chen Tianlong immediately stopped Lin Wushuang, sensing something amiss with the room and the entire hotel.
