Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 416 Crisis Approaches Quietly
The staff member seemed still a little uneasy and nervously added:

"Your Majesty, your room has an emergency alarm button that connects directly to hotel security and the Federal office in the far north."

"If you notice anything amiss, please press the button immediately, and we will contact headquarters for support as soon as possible."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, it's very thoughtful of you."

Leng Yaozhu gave her a reassuring smile, then took Lu Jun's hand, who was still using his mental energy to explore the surroundings, and led him towards the elevator.

The elevator slowly ascended, leaving only the two of them in the small space. Leng Yaozhu said softly:
"That staff member was a really nice person."

Lu Jun then withdrew some of his spiritual energy and nodded, saying:
"That's because you, teacher, are kind and gentle, and you didn't bully others. That's why she took the risk to tell you about the unusual things she observed. This is the kindness you deserve."

"You little rascal, you're not that old, but you see things very clearly. You're precocious for your age." Leng Yaozhu chuckled at his words and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek again.

At that moment, the elevator made a soft "ding" sound and stopped on the fourth floor.

Their room number was 404. This number made Leng Yaozhu raise an eyebrow slightly, feeling that it was a bit ominous.

Just as the two reached the door of room 404 and were about to swipe their cards to open it, the door to room 402 across the hall was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

The two people came out.

One of them was tall and thin with a sinister look in his eyes, while the other was relatively ordinary, but both had a rather deep and composed aura.

The tall, thin man's gaze swept over Leng Yaozhu, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, which quickly turned into frivolity and disdain. He even let out an undisguised sneer, mocking her:

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that such a noble and beautiful woman would be so open about having fun, so brazenly bringing men to a place like this to book a room? You really can't judge a book by its cover."

These words were extremely rude and insulting.

Leng Yaozhu's expression instantly turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.

She instinctively shielded Lu Jun behind her, her icy gaze piercing him like a sharp sword, her voice stern and authoritative:

"A person with a filthy and filthy heart sees everything as filthy. Watch your mouth, or you're probably the kind of rat that only dares to hide in a dark corner, right?"

These words were sharp and direct, instantly enraging the tall, thin man.

His face darkened, and his soul power began to fluctuate, as if he was about to unleash his power.

However, his seemingly ordinary companion reacted extremely quickly, suddenly raising his hand and slapping the tall, thin man hard across the face with a crisp "smack." The force was so great that the latter staggered, and a clear handprint instantly appeared on his face.

The man who hit Leng Yaozhu immediately turned to her, apologetic smile on his face, and bowed, saying:

"I am truly sorry, Your Majesty. My subordinate is ignorant of etiquette and has a foul mouth. I apologize on his behalf, and please do not hold it against him."

Leng Yaozhu stared at them coldly, not speaking immediately. The invisible pressure made the air almost freeze.

Cold sweat beaded on the man's forehead as he continued to assure him:
"I will definitely discipline them strictly and there will never be a next time. I hope you and your disciple will have a pleasant stay!"

After saying that, he practically dragged the tall, thin man, who was still stunned and filled with anger and humiliation, back into room 402 and slammed the door shut. The moment the door closed, suppressed but intense shouts and the sound of slaps came from inside:
"You idiot, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you! Do you even know who that was just now? That was the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, one of the top experts on the continent! How dare you talk back like that? You almost got me killed!"

Leng Yaozhu stood outside the door, expressionless, as if she hadn't heard anything.

She quickly swiped her card to open the door to room 404 and pulled Lu Jun inside.

The suite has an excellent interior environment, warm and cozy, with underfloor heating fully operational. The decor is luxurious and elegant, and it is fully equipped with a living room, bedroom, meditation room, and bathroom, and the area is very spacious.

Leng Yaozhu's first instinct wasn't to survey the surroundings, but rather to use her powerful mental energy to scan every corner of the suite like mercury, confirming that there were no surveillance or listening devices, nor any hidden dangers.

After doing all this, she turned around and closed the door, then raised her hand and unleashed a stream of pure soul power, transforming it into an invisible barrier that completely sealed off the entire room, preventing any prying eyes.

After doing all this, Leng Yaozhu immediately looked at Lu Jun with a serious expression.

At almost the same time, Lu Jun also raised his head and looked at her calmly.

The two spoke in unison, lowering their voices:

"Those two people just now are suspicious!"

When Leng Yaozhu heard Lu Jun say the same thing, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which then turned into relief and solemnity.

She nodded quickly and whispered:
“I didn’t expect you to notice it too. That’s right, the aura emanating from those two is very strange. Although they tried to conceal it, that cold and gloomy feeling makes me very uncomfortable.”

"My intuition tells me that they are no good people and probably have some secrets hidden on them. I wonder if it's related to what the staff downstairs reminded me about."

Lu Jun nodded solemnly and added:
"And the timing of their appearance is too coincidental. We must be extra careful tonight; we don't know what they're up to by lurking here."

“That’s right.” Leng Yaozhu’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a sharp light. “What I’m most worried about is that I just sensed that the soul power fluctuations emanating from the two of them, although subtle, were at an extremely high level… I’m afraid that both of them are titled Douluo-level powerhouses.”

"Two titled Douluo, disguised, lurking in such a remote hotel in the far north city... they definitely have ill intentions."

The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.

The warm suite seemed to be filled with a chilling coldness.

After confirming the room was safe again and setting up a soul power barrier, Leng Yaozhu's solemn expression eased slightly. She looked at Lu Jun, her tone returning to its usual gentleness:

"Come on, there are many bedrooms here, pick any one you like. Then the teacher will protect you outside. While the iron is hot, consolidate the gains from your deep meditation, especially the nascent spiritual core. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must solidify your foundation."

Lu Jun nodded, a warm feeling flowing through his heart:

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher."

Without much formality, he chose the quietest-looking bedroom with the most stable soul energy fluctuations and went inside. He sat cross-legged on the soft carpet and quickly entered a meditative state again, guiding the burgeoning spiritual energy within his body to carefully nourish and stabilize the nascent, brilliant spiritual core that had just formed.
