I Became the Demon King of Lust

I was woken up after around five hours by Long Shui Ling.

Looking at the clock, it seemed like she had let me sleep an extra half an hour, so I couldn't help looking at her with a grateful look.

This just caused her to look down with a shy look again when she saw me looking at her like this.

Long Shui Ling didn't stay like this for long.

She pulled out her blanket and wrapped herself up to go to sleep…though it did take a while for her to go to sleep.

It wasn't because she was in the dungeon, but because of something else.

During the time that he had been sleeping, while she had been keeping watch, she had been quite bored.

So to pass the time, she had been secretly staring at him.

It was secretly staring at him at first, but…it eventually became actively staring at him.

For the past few hours, she had been staring at him without a care in the world.

Long Shui Ling didn't know why she did this, but she did know that it was calming to stare at him like this for some reason. It was as if staring at him made everything seem alright…

But now that she had a moment to calm down and think about it, she couldn't help feeling that it was embarrassing.

"Why did I do that just now? What's wrong with me?"

Long Shui Ling said to herself again and again as she couldn't tell what this feeling in her heart was.

But it had been a long day, especially when she had been running from the monsters in the beginning.

So it didn't take her long to fall asleep.

During this time, I had pulled out a book and had started reading.

I didn't see any new drops and I wasn't woken up by any noise while I was sleeping, so it seemed that the bead worked.

Since I had time while she was sleeping, I decided to read a bit.

I wasn't as strong as those others who had natural talent, so the only thing that I could do was make up for it with my intelligence. I wanted to improve my intelligence as much as possible and the best way was to gain more knowledge.

Since there was nothing to do, I would make the best use of this time to read and gain more knowledge.

But of course, that only lasted for the first few hours.

The bead would only last eight hours, so after around three hours…the monsters started showing up again.

To not disturb her rest, I made sure to use my Time Stop to take care of them.

Though this might seem dangerous, I actually looked forward to it since there were now others that had taken my top spot.

There were those that hunted monsters into the night and had pushed their scores up while I was asleep.

I knew that this would mean that they would crash and burn eventually and they were just hurting themselves like this, but I still couldn't help being bothered by it.

Since the monsters were coming, why wouldn't I take these free points?

I needed them to pull myself back up onto the leaderboards.

After cutting down these monsters, I gave a satisfied nod as I slowly climbed back up.

There was no one that could keep up with my speed of point growth and it didn't take long before I was back on top.

There was only a single group that was above me and it was clear that they were in a group since they had the same amount of points.

It was a group of three and they all had names that I didn't recognize.

Still, I was certain that it was only a matter of time before I surpassed them because I had my eyes set on the dungeon boss.

After a few more hours, I finally went to wake Long Shui Ling up.

But to my surprise, when I touched her to wake her up, she suddenly reached out and grabbed me by the chest.

She hugged me as she pressed her head up against me.

It was like…being grabbed by a koala with the way that she hung onto me.

I couldn't help feeling that it was very awkward, but at the same time…I couldn't help feeling that she was a bit cute with how she hung onto me.

But before I could even do anything, Long Shui Ling suddenly woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at me.

In her sleepy daze, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Good morning."

Even though her legs were still wrapped around me and she was hanging off with me with one arm.

All I could do was awkwardly say, "Good…morning."

Long Shui Ling slowly recognized the strange tone of my voice and she slowly looked down.

She blinked twice as she looked at her arm and legs holding onto me, as if she was still trying to process what had happened.

After blinking a few more times, she suddenly realized what she did and she immediately jumped off me.

Long Shui Ling moved away from me like I had done something wrong to her, covering herself with her arms and closing her legs.

If someone walked in now…they would have thought that I had assaulted her.

But luckily, no one came in the end.

Finally, she said, "I'm sorry, I…I didn't mean to do that."

I just gave an awkward cough before saying, "It's fine, you did it in your sleep. I won't take it to heart."

Long Shui Ling lowered her head as a strong blush covered her face, but she said in a soft voice, "Thank you."

The two of us just ate breakfast in silence after that, though it was a relief when a group of monsters showed up.

They were able to break the awkwardness that hung in the air after that interaction.

And in the end, we were able to leave without bringing it up.

Though…it was still there in our hearts.
