I Became the Demon King of Lust

Everyone was shocked to see this man fall down in front of me.

They couldn't help looking at me with strange looks as I stood in front of that man who was on his knees in front of me.

The man just stayed there on his knees screaming in pain as I held his wrist, but eventually those screams of pain became softer and softer until it seemed like he was able to resist the pain.

He slowly looked up at me and said through gritted teeth, "Let me go, now!"

I didn't respond at all as I just kept my grip around his wrist like that.

Finally, the man couldn't take it anymore and he reached his other hand up again in an attempt to grab the sword that was on his back.

It seemed that he was done pretending to be civil and was planning on using force to achieve his goals.

Since that was the case…then there was no need for me to play along with him anymore.

Right before he could reach that sword, he suddenly screamed out in pain once more.

I gripped his wrist even harder than before.

The man looked at me in shock and disbelief while screaming in pain as he didn't believe that I could squeeze his wrist even more than I was already doing.

Up to this point, I had a vice grip around his wrist which was why he had fallen down in pain earlier.

But that wasn't anywhere near my full strength.

The training that I had done with Su Chen had paid off, so I was much stronger than before.

Normal Awakeners just wouldn't be able to match me anymore.

Still, it didn't do me any good to let this man keep screaming and attracting more attention.

It was better to just…knock him out now.

I reached my other hand up and with a single flick, that man's head fell backwards before hitting the ground. The way that he slammed into the ground looked painful and had even created a crater in the ground.

But I didn't really care since this was what he deserved.

At the same time, it wasn't as if he would die because of this because he was an Awakener.

An Awakener was much tougher than one could imagine.

After knocking him out like this, I didn't waste any time in grabbing Bing Xin's heart and running towards the entrance of the break zone.

I just flashed my special C Rank Irregular License to the registration people before rushing in before any of the guards could stop us.

The registration people were shocked by the license since they had never seen it in person before even if they had heard of it.

The guards had wanted to go and stop us, but the registration people immediately stopped them.

If they offended someone with this special Irregular License, who knows what would happen?

So they didn't dare say a thing about any of this.

After entering the break zone, we didn't stop running until we were a certain distance away from the gate.

Only then did I stop running and let go of Bing Xin's hand.

I could see that there was a slightly disappointed look on her face when I let go, but I just couldn't keep holding her like this.

There was an awkward silence that hung in the air as neither of us knew what to say.

But in the end, Bing Xin broke that silence by saying in a soft voice, "Thank you for helping me."

I just shook my head with a faint smile before saying, "No, there's no need to thank me, I was just doing what anyone would have done in that situation."

Bing Xin still lowered her head and said, "But I still appreciate it…It was like when you saved me back then."

I couldn't help revealing an awkward look when she brought this up.

The atmosphere between us became ambiguous because of this, but then…

There was a goblin that suddenly jumped out of the bush and charged at us.

Both of us were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this goblin, but Bing Xin revealed a furious look after she came back to her senses.

She muttered under her breath, "It was just getting to the good part and you ruined it all."

There was blue energy that gathered around her hand and it seemed like she was about to release a big attack…A big attack that wasn't suitable for dealing with just this goblin.

I couldn't help panicking a bit when I saw Bing Xin like this.

If I let her release this attack, who knows what would happen?

She might even change the landscape of this break zone with this one attack.

So in a panic, I suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her from behind. I held her back while also throwing out a dagger that landed right in between the brows of the goblin.

The goblin was pinned right to a tree that was behind it with this dagger.

But I had other things that I was concerned with.

I quickly said, "Wait, wait, I've already taken care of it. You don't need to do anything."

Bing Xin had frozen when she felt my arms around her.

From another angle, one could even say that this was…a hug.

There was another awkward silence that filled the air after this, but then Bing Xin worked up the courage to say, "Hold me tighter."

She didn't know why, but she enjoyed the feeling of being held like this very much.

It was like her ice magic was being completely melted by the heat that was coming from him…

I didn't mind this and used a bit more force with my hand to hold her tighter.

But it wasn't for the reason that she thought it was for.

It was so that she…couldn't run away.

I started whispering into her ears and slowly, Bing Xin's eyes turned dim.
