Several days later, Coconut Forest City.
Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong had both disguised themselves. Using several secret techniques from the inner court, they slightly altered their appearances—essentially a form of disguise art.
At this moment, the two sat inside an open-air teahouse, quietly observing the bustling scenery of Coconut Forest City.
Coconut Forest City was one of the more famous cities on the Douluo Continent. It was known as the City of Romance and the City of Love, a place countless couples visited for dates and getaways.
The city was especially famous for its unique festival known as the Lantern Festival. During the celebration, many lovers would release flower lanterns into the sky, praying for their relationship to grow deeper and stronger.
"Tongtong, the evil Spirit Masters deliberately chose Coconut Forest City as their hunting ground. The method they use for cultivation is probably related to the customs here." Su Yunlin analyzed calmly. "According to the intelligence, there are two men and one woman. That woman is a Spirit Emperor.
"My guess is that they operate at night. They likely use that sort of method to lure people to their hidden location before killing them."
Su Yunlin had already roughly figured out the characteristics of this group of evil Spirit Masters.
Tang Wutong scratched her head. She had never been good at thinking through complicated matters. Using her brain was too exhausting. She preferred using the Clear Sky Hammer to do the thinking instead.
"I'll listen to you. What do you think we should do?"
Su Yunlin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "First, let's find a place to stay somewhere with a dense concentration of hotels. We'll wait until nighttime and observe the situation."
"Okay!"
A short while later, Rose Hotel.
Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong stood in front of the hotel entrance while Su Yunlin glanced around at the neighboring establishments.
Rose Hotel. Sweetheart Hotel. Romance Hotel. Passion Rain Hotel.
"Are all the hotels here this kind of theme?" Su Yunlin said speechlessly.
Tang Wutong immediately pinched the soft flesh around his waist, her pretty face flushing bright red.
"And you brought me here? You pervert, are you really that impatient? This young lady isn't even an adult yet!"
Su Yunlin grimaced in mock pain. "No, no, I've never been to Coconut Forest City either. How was I supposed to know every hotel here is like this?"
Tang Wutong pouted. "Hmph! Bad guy! Pervert."
Su Yunlin smiled faintly and hooked an arm around her shoulders. "But I'm your bad guy and your pervert. Don't tell me you dislike that?"
Tang Wutong's face instantly reddened further as she turned her head away. "Don't think this young lady will be happy just because you said that."
Even so, the corners of her lips refused to stay down.
Su Yunlin led Tang Wutong into the Rose Hotel and walked to the front desk.
"Receptionist, one room please. Top floor."
The attendant saw how young the pair looked, but didn't find it strange at all. Because of Martial Souls, people on the Douluo Continent generally matured early.
"Certainly. Here is your room key." The receptionist quickly completed the check-in procedures.
Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong headed straight to the luxurious top-floor suite—Fiery Passion.
"The soundproofing here is pretty good." Su Yunlin walked down the corridor, passing several occupied rooms without hearing even the slightest noise, despite the indicators on the doors showing guests were inside.
After finding their room, Su Yunlin opened the door and entered, with Tang Wutong following closely behind.
The luxury suite was surprisingly spacious. The entire room carried a rather provocative style of decoration. Various unusual items were openly displayed before Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong.
Tang Wutong felt as though her entire face was about to catch fire. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest as nervous thoughts filled her mind.
Would Su Yunlin really do that to her here?
She felt both afraid… and strangely expectant.
Su Yunlin coughed lightly.
"Ahem… let me organize this a bit. These items are a little… inappropriate."
A hotel like this having such things wasn't unusual. However, they were here to carry out a mission, not for romance or indulgence. Setting aside the fact that they were still young, even if they were of age, they would have chosen a private place at home instead.
Su Yunlin tidied up the room a little, then opened the window and sat by the chair beside it, gazing outside.
The room was quite decent. From the window, the view was fairly open and expansive.
Tang Wutong also walked over and took out a tea set from her storage soul tool, preparing to brew tea.
"Hm? Those two people are a bit different… their aura…" Su Yunlin suddenly noticed two unusual men.
Hearing this, Tang Wutong looked over as well.
Two middle-aged men, appearing to be in their forties, were each holding a woman of ill repute. The two men looked very similar—likely brothers.
They were around 1.7 meters tall, and frankly, their appearance was nothing impressive. Their skin was dark, their faces wore lewd smiles, and they were dressed in dark brown leather clothing that was slightly worn and torn in places.
But what mattered wasn't their appearance—it was the aura surrounding them. Su Yunlin could clearly sense a dense, sinister energy emanating from them, far stronger than the evil aura Tang Ya once carried.
Su Yunlin activated his Purple Demon Eye to enhance his vision. In addition to the evil energy, there was an overwhelming scent of blood around the two men—thick, almost tangible, concentrated around their mouths and lower bodies.
With both evil aura and blood aura present, their identity was already obvious: orthodox Evil Spirit Masters.
At this moment, Tang Wutong was also using her Purple Demon Eye, though she had only reached the "Superficial Insight" level. Her eyesight was far inferior to Su Yunlin's.
"I can't see it clearly. I can only feel that those two have an unpleasant aura," she said. She could only rely on her Light attribute to sense energy.
Light attributes were highly sensitive to darkness and evil, but she could only perceive that the other party carried a repulsive aura—she couldn't confirm whether they were Evil Spirit Masters.
"Your Purple Demon Eye still needs more training. Once you reach the 'Micro Insight' stage, you'll be able to see it clearly," Su Yunlin said with a faint smile.
Tang Wutong pouted.
"The Purple Demon Eye requires steady, long-term effort. Who can train like you? You've got spiritual power close to the Titled Douluo level before even cultivating it properly."
Su Yunlin chuckled lightly.
"Then later, I'll find you some Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew so your Purple Demon Eye becomes stronger."
Tang Wutong huffed softly.
"I'll remember that~ If you forget to find me the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, I won't let you kiss me or touch me."
By the end of her sentence, even she had turned red.
Su Yunlin was momentarily at a loss for words.
"I'll just wait until night then. These Evil Spirit Masters probably won't act during the day. We'll observe again at night. Be careful—there's also a female Spirit Emperor among them. Once I make a move, I'll go all out!"
"Understood!"
...
Nighttime.
Even at night, Coconut Forest City remained brightly lit.
During the day, Su Yunlin had already detected the two Evil Spirit Masters and asked the Dark Devilgod Tiger to help lock onto their aura.
By nightfall, Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong were fully prepared for action.
Both of them wore their battle armors. A deep black suit of armor naturally materialized on Su Yunlin's body.
It was more refined than his previous set. Not only did it have a pair of wings on its back, but it also included a helmet.
This was his new second-tier battle armor. Once equipped, Su Yunlin's combat power rose to the level of a Spirit Douluo, and he could even contend with a Titled Douluo.
Tang Wutong, on the other hand, wore a white-gold armor set. However, her battle armor was incomplete, covering only her limbs, torso, and head.
This was the maximum number of components she could currently withstand. To wear a fully complete battle armor, she would need to reach the Spirit Emperor level. Her armor was forged from metals she refined herself—an amalgamation of multiple alloys formed through spirit forging.
Although incomplete, it still provided a tremendous boost, elevating her strength to near Spirit Douluo level.
After equipping their battle armors, the two of them each took out a black cloak from their storage soul tools and put it on.
