I Became the Demon King of Lust

The water tentacle pierced right through the young man's chest and lifted him up into the air.

However, when one looked closely…there was no blood that came out of the young man's body.

It was almost as if the young man didn't even react to being stabbed by the water tentacle like this.

When the Lizardman King saw this, it immediately recognized that something was off and flicked its trident. With that flick of its trident, a few of the water tentacles suddenly moved forward as if they were protecting it.

The water tentacle lifted that young man's 'corpse' up for a bit before that 'corpse'...suddenly disappeared.

It just disappeared as if it was never there.

With a sigh, a voice said, "You shouldn't have done that."

Another voice said, "I'm sorry…I just couldn't keep watching."

"It's too late now, we'll have to act whether we want to or not."

As if they appeared out of thin air, Lin Fan and Long Shui Ling suddenly appeared with the young man with the shield who was on the ground with a bleeding leg.

He stared at the two of them in shock and confusion as if he couldn't understand where they had appeared from.

Even for him, it had seemed as if they had appeared out of thin air.

But then, he recovered from his shock and said, "You two, save me! I'll give you as much money as you want if you save me!"

When I heard this, I couldn't help shaking my head and giving a sigh.

I had planned on using this young man with the shield as a distraction for the Lizardman King.

Once the Lizardman King had used all of its abilities on this young man, that was when I had been planning on striking.

But before that could happen, Long Shui Ling had stepped out.

She had used her illusion to create a fake copy of the young man that the Lizardman King had been tricked into attacking, saving the real young man from being stabbed in the chest like this.

I just said with a sigh, "You can see what kind of person he is, do you really think that it was worth saving him?"

Long Shui Ling bit her lip when she heard this, but she still said, "Every human life has value."

I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this.

It was clear that we didn't have the same values…but that wasn't the time for it now.

Seeing that they were discussing whether to abandon him, the young man said, "If you dare abandon me, my family won't let you off. You should know the Zhao Group, right? That's my family's company!"

I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this.

The Zhao Group, it was one of the top five hundred companies in the world.

While the top five hundred seemed like a lot, this was the top five hundred out of millions upon millions of companies.

The power that one of these companies had was equal to some of the smaller nations.

So the Zhao Group definitely couldn't be looked down on.

It seemed that if I didn't take care of him now, it would bring trouble to my own head…

But to my surprise, Long Shui Ling suddenly said, "It's fine, the Zhao Group is nothing."

I couldn't help being surprised by what Long Shui Ling suddenly said.

The most surprising thing was…how firmly she had said this.

It was as if she firmly believed that the Zhao Group wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

I looked at Long Shui Ling with narrowed eyes, as if I was trying to figure out what her identity was.

But Long Shui Ling turned her head and suddenly said, "We don't have time for this."

I looked at her for a few more seconds before slowly giving a nod and turning back to look at the Lizardman King.

It had been standing still since it had been gauging this situation, but I could see that it was getting impatient.

However, there was still the problem of this young man to deal with.

So I said, "I can't fight with him getting in the way. Unless you have a way of making sure that he stays silent and still, I don't think I can do this."

Long Shui Ling slightly knitted her brows, but then she said, "I can trap him in an illusion so that he doesn't do anything, but…" After a pause, she said in a hesitant voice, "I won't be able to do anything else if I'm maintaining the illusion on him. I won't be able to help you fight."

I revealed a faint smile as I said, "Is that all?"

Long Shui Ling's eyes opened wide in shock, but she said with a slow nod, "I'll be focused on keeping the illusion on him, so I won't be able to cast any other…"

Before she could finish, I just said, "Alright, focus on keeping him still. Also dress up his wounds if you're going to save him or else he'll bleed to death."

Then before Long Shui Ling could say anything else, I was already walking towards the Lizardman King.

She looked at me with a very surprised and complicated look, but she still said in a soft voice, "Thank you."

Long Shui Ling was a timid girl, but that didn't mean that she was a fool.

She had seen the look in his eyes…he had wanted to kill this young man to make sure that there would be no trouble in the future.

That was why she had stepped in now.

She didn't want to see him do anything like this since she could tell that he was a kind person by nature…

She didn't know why she felt this way either, but it was a feeling that came from the bottom of her heart.

After saying this, she turned around to treat the young man who was still shouting out threats.

Raising her hand, the young man's eyes suddenly dimmed and turned cloudy.

When she was done, she looked back at Lin Fan heading towards the Lizardman King and said in a soft voice, "Good luck."
