Demon King of Lust

There was no response that answered my question as the voice that had spoken before remained silent.

But that didn't matter since I was slowly losing consciousness from drowning.

So in the end, I just assumed that I was hearing voices because I was dying.

I was about to forget about it when I suddenly heard something else.

"Integration with the host has finished. The host has been selected as the Demon King of Lust."

Once again I couldn't help wondering where this voice came from, but it was too late as I lost consciousness.

"The host is currently in a dangerous situation. The host will now be saved."

After this, it felt like there was something warm and soft that had taken me in their embrace. As they held me, it was as if they were lifting me up out of the water.

I didn't know what happened, but it didn't take long before I was able to breathe again.

With the water gone and air taking its place, I didn't hesitate to gasp for that air.

I fell to the ground and took deep puffs of that sweet air.

I was on all fours just sucking as much air into my lungs as I could.

Finally, after taking deep breaths for a long time, I was finally able to catch my breath.

I slowly looked up to see Wang Bing and his cronies looking at me with a strange look. It was as if they looked at me like I was some kind of monster that had just sprouted a second head.

After a long moment of being dazed, Wang Bing said, "How, how did you do that?"

I couldn't understand what he was saying, so I didn't answer. But there was a voice in my head that said, "Look at this fool and his cronies, you should get rid of them."

I looked around myself, trying to find the source of this voice, but I wasn't able to find a single thing.

There was nothing around this area except for me and Wang Bing's group who were standing here looking at me with shocked looks.

There wasn't anyone here that should have said what I had just heard.

Could it be that I was going crazy?

After a long silence, Wang Bing finally snapped out of his daze and came forward towards me. I couldn't resist at all as he suddenly grabbed me by the collar and lifted me up off the ground.

As he glared at me, he said, "How did you get out of the river alive?"

There was genuine confusion and shock in his voice, but the strongest emotion was anger that things didn't go the way that he planned.

When I heard this, I really didn't know what to say since I didn't know what had happened either.

One minute, I had been drowning and the next, I had been pulled out of the water with some strange power.

Seeing the dazed and confused look on my face, Wang Bing surprisingly became even angrier.

It was almost as if he thought that Lin Fan was making fun of him.

Wang Bing raised his fist again and gathered his power before saying, "If you won't tell me, then you can just tell the king of hell when you see him!"

Without hesitation, he punched out with that raised fist at me.

This time, he had completely lost himself in his rage and he didn't hold back at all. With the power that he had gathered, it was likely that my head would have popped like a grape the moment that it hit me.

But before it could…the voice spoke again.

"This lowly human, daring to insult the demon king. You should just kill them all. Just tell them to stop and they won't be able to do anything."

I was very confused when I heard this, but I didn't see any way out, so I decided to follow the instructions of this voice.

"Stop!"

I suddenly shouted.

Wang Bing's fist had been about to hit my head when all of sudden…it stopped.

The moment that his fist stopped, Wang Bing couldn't help knitting his brows.

He just froze there for a few seconds before his arm started to shake and there were veins that popped out on his neck.

It was as if he was doing all that he could to move his arm, but his body wouldn't listen to him.

No matter how hard he tried pushing, he couldn't move a single inch, almost as if the muscles in his body were frozen.

After struggling for a bit, Wang Bing finally turned back to me and roared out, "What did you do to me!"

I looked at him in a daze as I didn't know what had happened either.

I had just shouted "stop" and then it seemed that he really did stop.

But why would he do that?

Seeing that I wasn't saying anything and he still couldn't move a single inch, without turning back, Wang Bing roared out, "Come and help me! Beat him up and I'm sure that I'll be able to move again!"

After hearing this, his followers who had been standing there in a daze finally came back to their senses.

"Oh." That was what most of his followers said before they started moving towards him.

When I saw this, I knew that this situation was still bad for me and I wanted to break free from Wang Bing's grip, but I found that he was firmly holding onto my collar. No matter how I struggled, I wasn't able to break free at all.

It seemed that whatever was holding Wang Bing in place was also holding his hand in place, turning it into an iron grip on my collar.

Seeing this, Wang Bing couldn't help revealing a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

He didn't know what misfortune had befallen him, but at the very least, this punk wouldn't be able to run away.

Seeing that I was trapped and the others were coming over to beat me, I couldn't help feeling worried and afraid.

I quickly looked around for a way out of this, but there wasn't a way out that I could see…until the voice that spoke before spoke again in my mind.

"Just tell them to stop as well."

This time, the voice was no longer the same as before. This time, the voice seemed like it was filled with exasperation with me.

I didn't know where this voice was coming from and why it felt this way, but I knew that the voice was helping me.

So without hesitation, I said in a much louder voice, "Stop!"

The moment that my voice rang out, all of Wang Bing's followers suddenly stopped moving.

Even Mei Tang Tang who had been standing there with a smile on her face couldn't help knitting her brows as she found that she wasn't able to move at all.

All of Wang Bing's followers revealed looks of struggle on their faces as they tried to break free of this bind, but they found that they weren't able to move a single muscle.

I didn't know what was happening, but I was certain of one thing…

The reason that they had all suddenly frozen like this was related to me.

At this thought, I couldn't help revealing a smile.
