Chapter 273 In the hotel!
Chapter 273 In the hotel!
*thud* Closing the cab's door, Zhao Tian, Cai Luo, and Hun Xiang exited the cab and made their way into the hotel they had already reserved for their stay. Entering the hotel, they walked to the reception and the receptionist welcomed them with a warm smile, looking at the foreigners. A look of surprise flashed across the receptionist's eyes as she gazed at the handsome young man. 'Damn, he's hot...'
But she quickly snapped out of her thoughts "Welcome, dear customers."
Hun Xiang stepped forward to speak with the receptionist. "We have already booked three rooms in this hotel via online." she began to tell the booking details.
Cai Luo glanced at Zhao Tian who was standing beside her "We need to exchange some money to the currency of this nation."
Zhao Tian gave a nod as he whispered, his voice barely audible "How long will they follow us?" he muttered as he sensed two men outside the hotel watching over them sitting inside a car.
Cai Luo squinted her eyes "No idea, we have suppressed our auras so there is no way they can find out we are cultivators."
Moving close to her, Zhao Tian wrapped his arm around her shoulder "Seems like they are suspicious because we are foreigners."
Cai Luo nodded her head "Yeah.. but there are foreigners coming and going out daily from this nation. Then why the hell are they following us specifically."
At this time, Hun Xiang came closer to them "Here are our room keys."
With a nod, Zhao Tian took a room key and Cai Luo took another key and saw the number 9 on it. She discreetly glanced at the key in Zhao Tian's hand and saw the number 7 in it.
Hm? Cai Luo looked at Hun Xiang. "Xiang, show your key."
Huh? "Lady Luo?" Though confused, Hun Xiang showed the key, and Cai Luo saw the number 8 on it.
"Here, you can have this. Give that to me." She exchanged the keys with Hun Xiang.
I-It's not like she wanted the room to be closer to Zhao Tian's; it's just that she likes number 8. Its her lucky number.
Zhao Tian shook his head helplessly. "Why such fuss? We are going to leave the hotel soon, anyway."
Cai Luo just scoffed, "Hmph, let's go."
They quickly took the lift and went upstairs to their rooms. Zhao Tian entered his room and sensed around the room to see if there were any cameras or any other voice recording shit.
Seeing that it was clear, he walked near the windows and opened them, glancing at the two men who were inside the car, just outside the hotel.
However, a little later, they drove away, and Zhao Tian narrowed his eyes. "Do they do this to every foreigner coming to this nation?"
*knock* Zhao Tian turned towards the door and spoke, "Enter." *swish* At the same time, he cast a noise barrier around the room.
Opening the door, Cai Luo entered the room and sat on the bed "There are no spy devices in my room."
With a nod, Zhao Tian sat beside her on the bed "I have also placed a noise barrier in this room."
"Oh, good."
"Where is that soy of yours?"
Cai Luo spoke falling back on the bed. "She has gone to exchange some money. We can stay here for two days and then we can go to her home, which is actually quite close to the place of this Lycan Syndicate."
Like Zhenzhu, Lycan Syndicate is also like a small kingdom within the Western nations and most of the cultivators in the western nations roam around at that even if they are not a part of the Lycan Syndicate group.
"This Lycan Kingdom of theirs, how are we going to infiltrate it? We are foreigners and they will find out about us just by looking at our faces."
Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow "Then, how did that spy of yours infiltrated that place and gained information?"
-_- Cai Luo was dumbfounded and she could not say anything about the artifact from High Star she got from Freya Everglade. "Hmm, probably wearing masks."
Zhao Tian gave a nod, "Masks..."
"We are only three people but there will be thousands of people from Lycan Syndicate and each dog can regenerate. So we need to kill the higher-ups first with a surprise attack."
"And then we can concentrate on the small dogs."
Zhao Tian frowned his eyebrows as he was confident that his Darkness flames could burn anything easily and the small minions wouldn't be a problem as he can burn the flames endlessly because of his limitless Astral energy pool.
Cai Luo glanced at him "I know you have confidence in your Empyreal flame, but if a nuke like that blasts on a large scale, we are gone."
"And I am afraid of another thing, as Xiang said... there might be a person hidden within the Lycan Syndicate who has already stepped into the Half-Empyreal realm."
The half-empyreal realm is the most important step for any cultivator. It is the stage in between the Transient realm and the Empyreal realm."
(A/N: Check the auxiliary chap if you are confused.) Various thoughts ran inside Zhao Tian's mind 'I am sure I can beat half-empyreal cultivator as long as I use my darkness flame and lightning efficiently.'
'And this is a great chance to boost my cultivation. Devouring the powerful souls of the ministers and also the minions. Even I myself could reach the Half-Empyreal stage in an instant.'
'I also have to complete the black tower in the artifact later and check if I am getting any good rewards.'
As Cai Luo pondered her next move, a sense of doubt crept into her heart, 'Am I acting hasty? This is the first time... I am afraid that I will lose my life. All those previous battles in my life... I never feared death, as I have nothing to lose, but now...' Her eyes glimpsed at Zhao Tian who was in his own thoughts: 'Is it because I have grown attached to him. I am afraid I will lose him?'
'Urgh, I even dragged him into this problem. What should we do?"
The thought lingered in her mind, causing her heart to race with uncertainty. She couldn't shake the feeling that her connection to him was stronger than she had anticipated, leaving her vulnerable to the idea of him slipping away from her grasp. Letting out a soft sigh, she pulled herself up to sit on the bed and her eyes trembled looking at Zhao Tian. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She timidly shifted her body before finally resting her head on his lap, softly uttering his name, "Tian..." in a gentle tone. Huh? Zhao Tian couldn't help but chuckle "Nah, we'd win. Don't be worried."
Hm? Zhao Tian snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Cai Luo's head on his lap, a faint blush coloring her cheeks.
"Luo?"
Glancing at his blue eyes, she asked "Do you think... we will lose and die here?"
Huh? Zhao Tian couldn't help but chuckle "Nah, we'd win. Don't be worried."
Cai Luo smiled faintly hearing his words and turned her head on his lap to face his abdomen. Curiosity piqued, she raised her hands and brought it near the hem of his shirt.
She slowly pulled it up and seeing her actions, Zhao Tian was dumbfounded, What the fuck are you doing, woman?
*gulp* She gulped her saliva, seeing the ripped abs on his abdomen in awe. She also has abs because of her rigorous sword training but this looks even more cool.
As she moved her hand to touch his abs, suddenly her eyes narrowed and Zhao Tian also squinted his eyes "Emperor Astral Stage cultivator!"
Zhao Tian muttered as he felt a strong presence in the sky just above the hotel.
"We should check."
Hearing his mutter, Cai Luo gritted her teeth in anger because she was just about to get to the good part of touching his body and deepen their connection.
'I will kill whoever the fuck disturbed me.'
Reluctantly, she took her head from his lap and both of them stood up from the bed. They casually walked out of the hotel as if nothing was happening.
Hm? Cai Luo narrowed her gaze as she felt the presence at the nearby alley.
'It feels like they are deliberately showing their presence and calling us.'
Zhao Tian and Cai Luo both nodded at each other and walked towards the alley behind the hotel.
Zahra Ashante is standing in the alley with a smile, waiting for Zhao Tian's arrival after revealing her presence.
However, she suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine and her death instincts kicked in but before she could move, she felt a sword on her neck from behind.
"So, why are you calling us?"
Meanwhile, Zhao Tian walked in front of the woman and quickly recognized the purple haired woman and her tan skin.
"Zahra!"
"TIannnn~~"
Cai Luo: -_- eh?
...
*tap* A middle aged man was desperately running through the small path and he quickly reached a small hut made of wood.
He dashed in and yelled "Village head, they are here again."
A woman with long blonde hair, who was in her room was startled as she heard the sudden yell. What?
The middle aged man looked at the woman coming out of her room, her hair cascading down her waist but her face is hidden by a metal mask, only her purple eyes could be seen.
"Where are they?" --------------------------------------
