I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 61: Questioned

When I was brought into the tent, I found that there were people waiting for me.

The Ice Princess was sitting there as expected, but she was sitting far away from the center.

As I walked past, she looked at me with an apologetic look as if she had done something wrong that I couldn't understand.

In the center of this tent, there were several people sitting there waiting for me. But the only one that really stood out was the woman sitting right in the center.

She stood out because not only was she very beautiful, she also looked very similar to the Ice Princess.

They had the same beautiful features, but she had fiery red hair and fiery red eyes instead of blue hair and blue eyes like the Ice Princess. At the same time, she seemed a bit more mature than the Ice Princess, which gave her more of a sexy mature beauty look.

It was clear that the two of them were related in some way.

After being brought in front of them, the red haired beauty gave a nod to the guards who released my shackles to my surprise. Though when I felt the pressure that came from in front of me, I realized why they had done it.

The red haired beauty was more than confident in subduing me if I ever tried to run.

So there was no meaning in leaving me shackled like this.

At the same time, I knew better than to run away. I could feel the pressure that came from the red haired beauty, she was definitely not someone that I could face even with my demon king powers.

I also wasn't a fool.

I could tell that there was no malice behind this pressure, but rather a hint of curiosity, so there was no need for me to be rash.

I just waited to see what they would do with me.

After a long silence, the red haired beauty said, "So you're the one that saved Xin'er?"

I couldn't help revealing a slightly confused look when I heard this since I didn't know who she was talking about when she mentioned Xin'er.

But after thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that the Ice Princess' name was Bing Xin.

For her to address the Ice Princess in such an intimate manner, it was clear that she was related to her in some way.

So I just gave a simple nod in response.

After seeing this, the red haired beauty said with a smile, "Then I have to thank you for that. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know what would have happened to my darling Xin'er."

I was about to relax after hearing this, but her next words made me tense up again.

The red haired beauty's voice suddenly became sharp as she said, "But how do you expect me to believe that a part time porter like you would have the ability to save Xin'er from some C Rankers?"

After saying this, the pressure that fell onto me was even stronger than before.

It was almost so strong that I was crushed into the ground.

It seemed that last time was just a greeting and this time…was the warning.

But with my will, I was able to stand firm and look right up at her.

When the red haired beauty saw this, there was a trace of admiration that appeared in her eyes since she knew how hard it was to face her pressure. However, that didn't mean that she released that pressure.

Taking a deep breath, I said, "I might be a porter, but I'm also an awakener. I used my powers to save her."

The red haired beauty gave a laugh when she heard this, but the laugh was very cold. After that laugh, she said, "You expect me to believe that a F Rank Awakener had the power to fight several C Rank Awakeners?"

Then her eyes narrowed as she looked at me, causing a chill to run down my spine. At the same time, she said, "That's like expecting me to believe that you aren't working with them."

The suspicion in her voice was very clear, but it was also very justified.

After all, the idea that I was working with the traitors was a very valid one and it would explain how I was able to get away.

A F Ranker surrounded by C Rankers and still being able to escape, that sounded suspicious no matter how one looked at it.

But I didn't back down as I looked up at her and said, "I have a special way of using my power that allowed me to catch them off guard. That was how I was able to escape."

The red haired beauty narrowed her eyes to look at me without saying a thing.

After a bit of silence, she finally said, "Well, Xin'er did tell me that you showed some strange powers, so I already knew that. However, that still shouldn't explain how you were able to escape, does it?"

I shook my head and said, "I'll demonstrate my powers and show you, would that be enough?"

When she heard this, the red haired beauty couldn't help revealing a surprised look.

It seemed that she hadn't expected me to actually offer to do this even though it was clear that she was trying to force me to demonstrate my powers. She had thought that I would try to hide it to the end instead of offering to demonstrate it like this.

But she didn't let herself be tripped up for long as she gave a straightforward nod and said, "Alright, let's go and see what your powers can do."

She suddenly stood up and prepared to walk out of the tent while all the others that had been sitting around her looked at her with shocked looks.

The Ice Princess took advantage of this gap to come over and say with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry."

I understood why she had that apologetic look earlier.

It seemed that she had no choice but to tell this red haired beauty about what had happened in the break zone. That included the powers that I had used to fight the C Rankers with, which had led to this questioning.

But I was fine with it since I also planned for this.

After all, this was the only way to show how useful I was and to find a way to join their guild.

So in a sense, the Ice Princess was doing me a favour.

I just said with a smile, "It's fine, I'm sure that you had no choice."

When she saw this smile and heard what I said, the Ice Princess couldn't help turning her head away.

I could have sworn that I saw a blush appear on her face at the same time.

But I didn't think too much about it.

I focused my mind instead on what was about to come.

I had been given a chance to demonstrate my powers and prove how useful I was.

As long as I could impress them, I would have a choice to join their guild and become connected to even more high ranking Awakeners.

When the time came, it would be easy for me to bring more high ranking Awakeners under me.

So I would be giving it my all in this demonstration.
