I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 40: New team

The next morning, I followed the instructions the team leader gave me to find my new team waiting there for me.

In the center of the team, I could see the same beautiful blue haired figure that I had seen before.

But before I could go over to greet her and introduce myself, I was caught by a group of tough looking men.

However, they didn't have any ill will towards me.

These tough looking men with all their bulky muscles were porters just like me. They were the special porter team that worked for the Ice Princess full time, so they were my new team as well.

The one who put his arm around my shoulders was the leader of this team, he was a man named Su Chen.

Su Chen pulled me over with the others and we soon arrived at a pile of equipment.

I didn't need to guess to know that these were the things that we would need to carry. There were even bags on the side for us to put everything in.

Since we were here…we might as well start packing.

As we packed, the team introduced themselves to me. It turned out that even with their rough appearances, they were actually quite good guys.

It just went to show that one couldn't judge a book by their cover.

Soon, Su Chen was patting me on the shoulder and laughing as he said, "Little brother Lin, you really do have a good mentality. How about joining our team full time in the future?"

I revealed an awkward look when I heard this before giving a polite rejection, "I'm sorry, I'm just doing this temporarily."

Su Chen wasn't offended at all by this as he revealed an understanding look. He slapped me on the shoulder and said, "I understand, I totally understand. You're still young and you have ambitions, so there are probably things you still want to do. You should definitely pursue these things while you're young, but know that there's a spot here for you if you ever want to come back."

I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this.

After all, I didn't think that I had made such a good impression that he would be this firm about accepting me.

But then I understood why.

Su Chen came over and grabbed my arm. He squeezed my bicep as his eyes lit up and he said, "I knew it! I knew that there was something special about you!"

I couldn't help being a bit scared when I saw him acting this way. But for the sake of my plan, I had to befriend them, so I didn't pull back even though I had wanted to.

Su Chen didn't stop with just my bicep, he started going all over my body, poking different parts of it. Finally I drew a line when his eyes went to my waist.

Seeing my refusal, Su Chen revealed an apologetic smile before saying, "Sorry, I got a bit too excited. However, your body really is something else."

I couldn't help revealing a confused and slightly disgusted look when I heard this.

Su Chen could see the way that I was looking at him, so he said, "It isn't what you think it is. I'm talking about the quality of your muscles."

Seeing the still confused look on my face, Su Chen explained, "I've been training all my life and I've trained many other people so I can tell with one look. Your muscles have a tone and density to them that other people just can't match. I can tell that there's no limits to the training that you can do for these muscles."

I really never thought that Su Chen would want me to join the team just because of this, but looking at how muscular the other members of the team were…it seemed like it was about right.

But before we could continue this talk, there was a group of people that walked over

Judging by the equipment that they had, it was clear that they were Awakeners.

But these were not Awakeners that  would be coming on our trip.

Since we were still in the base camp outside of the break zone, there were many Awakeners working for the guild that were just walking around.

When these Awakeners saw us porters packing up, they came over with a wide smile on their faces. Just based on this, it was clear that they were new Awakeners that had arrived in this camp not long ago.

They wanted to show off and when they had seen these porters packing up, they had thought that it was the perfect chance.

So these Awakeners came over and 'accidentally' kicked over some of the things that we had been packing up.

Then the leader of this group came over to grab me since I was the smallest one here before saying, "Hey, what do you think you're doing? Why are you just laying all of this junk on the ground like this?"

When Su Chen heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes.

He came over and grabbed the arm of the Awakener which made him turn to look at Su Chen, but the Awakener couldn't help being surprised.

After all, there were few people as big and muscular as Su Chen, so he couldn't help being caught off guard.

But still, he was an Awakener, so he said, "What do you think you're doing? Do you know who you are grabbing?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes to look at this Awakener and was about to say something.

But before he could, there was a cold voice that rang out, "What do you think you're doing?"

The moment that everyone heard this, they couldn't help looking in that direction because they all recognized this voice.

There was a beautiful blue haired figure that was standing there with her arms crossed, watching all of this happen.

The Awakeners wanted to say something, but they suddenly felt a chill run over them.

It was like they had been thrown into ice in an instant.
