I Became the Demon King of Lust

I gave a soft bitter laugh when I felt these gazes on me.

Long Shui Ling would never know just how effective her innocent words were at drawing aggro to me.

They were more effective than the most powerful taunt skills.

It drew aggro from her father and grandfather like it was nothing.

At the same time, it puts me in a bit of a dilemma.

If I let her do this, it was certain that these two would never forgive me.

But if I didn't let her do this and she became sad, it was hard to predict what her mother and grandmother would do.

It was a choice of which side I feared more.

In the end, I chose to let her feed me since I knew that it was the women who were more terrifying.

I could feel the hatred and jealousy growing in the two glares pointed at me, but I could also see the happy smiles on the faces of her mother and grandmother as they looked at us.

It seemed that I had made the right choice.

The two of us just ate in silence while the parents and grandparents watched.

Though it felt awkward for me, Long Shui Ling didn't feel any awkwardness as she kept feeding me.

The silence continued for a bit before Long Shui Ling's mother finally asked, "Ling Ling, what do you like about him."

I couldn't help giving a spit take as the chopsticks fell out of Long Shui Ling's hands.

Her little mouth opened wide as she looked at her mother, opening and closing a few times before she finally said, "Mother, you're embarrassing me."

Her face turned red and she lowered her head after that.

But Long Shui Ling's mother didn't stop her questioning as she said, "Ling Ling, there's no need to be shy. We're all family here, so you can tell us what you like about him."

Long Shui Ling's face turned even more red and she pouted her lips, but she still said, "He's kind."

It was just two simple words, but the aggro effect of these two words were stronger than her actions from before. Just these two words were enough to almost set off the flames of hatred around her father and grandfather.

"Just kind?" Long Shui Ling's mother asked before saying after a pause, "Is that really it?"

Long Shui Ling nodded before lowering her head again. But then as if she felt that it wasn't enough, she added, "I feel safe with him."

This time, the two women revealed smiles after hearing this.

The way that the smiles hung on their faces, it was as if they were remembering their own memories of love from the past.

For the two men, they put their chopsticks down.

They just couldn't work up the appetite when their precious Long Shui Ling was praising another man like this in front of them.

After another long silence, Long Shui Ling's mother suddenly said, "But I've heard that he was also kind to other girls."

When her voice fell, Long Shui Ling's expression changed.

She went from shy and happy to dark and gloomy.

As if seeing their chance, her father and grandfather were about to pounce. But they were scared back into their seat by a glare from Long Shui Ling's mother.

After a bit of a silence, Long Shui Ling said, "That's right, he's kind to other people as well…It really is a bit of a problem."

She turned to me with a dissatisfied glare when she said this.

I just looked right into her eyes with a confused look.

Before I could say anything though, Long Shui Ling's mother said, "If it is a problem, then we should address it."

She narrowed her eyes to look at me before saying, "Well, do you have anything to say for yourself?"

I looked right into her eyes and said, "Isn't it natural to be kind to others? Isn't that what we should do as human beings?"

Long Shui Ling's mother gave a nod to show her agreement for this, but she still said in a sharp voice, "But there's kindness and excessive kindness. Tell me, which kind of kindness are you showing to others? Or are you going to tell me that you are already wronging our Ling Ling?"

I could feel the pressure that was coming from her as she looked at me.

I took a deep breath and said, "I would never do that. Shui Ling is the only one that I have that kind of relationship with."

She narrowed her eyes to look into my eyes again, as if she was trying to see if I was lying or not.

But in the end, she wasn't able to find any lies on my face.

So she had no choice but to accept what I said.

The rest of the meal was just spent in a somewhat harmonious manner.

It was impossible for her father and grandfather to accept me, but they didn't try anything for this meal.

They just held back and tried to do what they could to make Long Shui Ling happy.

As for me, they basically ignored me.

But I had to admit that this was enjoyable.

Since my parents had died, it had been a long time since I had a family meal like this.

Even if I had been tense before, I could still relax with how welcoming her mother and grandmother was.

Once the meal was over, Sebastien suddenly appeared out of nowhere to guide me out.

He would send me home.

Before leaving, Long Shui Ling looked at me with a look like she wanted to come with me, but of course her parents would never allow this to happen.

So all that she could get in the end was a pat on the head.

She looked like she wanted more, but she was too embarrassed to do more in front of her parents.

Just like this, I was driven away from the Long Family manor by Sebastien.
