I Became the Demon King of Lust

It was Ling Yue, the police detective from before.

But what was she doing here so early in the morning?

Was it because of the Wang Bing case from before, or was it because of something else?

Could it be because of what had happened in the dungeon yesterday?

Since she was a part of the police, she should be able to access information related to this incident. Or it could be said that it should have been directly reported to them just in case they needed it.

After all, the Awakener Association and the police did work closely together.

So was she here to investigate me because she was suspicious that I was responsible?

I couldn't help feeling fearful, but I also knew that I had to calm myself down.

If I didn't, I would make mistakes. At this crucial point, mistakes were the last thing that I could make.

So I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

When I moved away from the peephole, Sasha had taken this opening to move forward to take a look through it.

After seeing who was on the other side, she puffed her cheeks out and pouted her lips before saying, "Master, who is that?"

I had been pulled out of my thoughts when I heard this, but I realized another problem as I looked at Sasha.

It was Sasha herself.

I couldn't let her stay here while I met the detective, so I had to find a way for her to leave. But the door was blocked by the detective and I lived on a high floor, so it wasn't as if she could jump out of the window.

Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, Sasha said, "Master, are you avoiding the…"

Before she could finish, I suddenly covered her mouth and said, "Be quiet. That is a detective outside, she might be here to investigate what happened yesterday. If she sees you with me…"

I didn't finish the words, but it was clear what I was implying.

Even if Sasha was playful, she could understand how serious this situation was, so that playful smile on her lips disappeared and it was replaced with a serious look as she asked, "What do we do then?"

I looked around my small apartment before finally saying, "The closet. Go and hide in the closet."

"Eh?" Sasha raised a brow as if she was doubtful of this plan

Even I was doubtful that this would work, but this was the only thing that would work at this point.

In truth, I could have used the Time Stop to bring Sasha out of here and I did think of this after the detective left. But I found that I was someone that panicked and couldn't think as clearly when I was under stress.

This was definitely something that I would need to fix in the future, but for now…

Back in the present, I pushed Sasha over to the closet and then threw something random on her in an attempt to hide her just in case before saying, "Stay quiet. Understand?"

Sasha just gave a slight nod before hiding herself away.

Once she was hidden, I stood outside the closet and took another deep breath to calm myself down.

However, in the middle of this, the doorbell rang again.

It seemed that I had no way of avoiding this, so I walked back over to the door and opened it.

When it opened, I found that the detective had been about to push the doorbell again.

Seeing that the door opened, Ling Yue pulled her hand back and said with a smile, "Good morning."

I raised a brow when I heard this before relaxing my expression and saying, "Good morning. Is there something that I can help you with?"

Ling Yue nodded and said, "I heard about what happened yesterday."

The moment that she said this, I couldn't stop a shiver from running down my spine. My body was about to jolt, but I was able to control it at the last second.

Could it be that she really was here to investigate what had happened yesterday in the dungeon?

If that was the case, should I try to use the Hypnosis skill on her or should I do something more drastic?

After a pause, Ling Yue said, "Can I come in and talk to you for a bit?"

There was another silence that followed before I opened the door fully and said, "Alright, please come in."

As Ling Yue came in, I said, "I'm sorry about the mess. I was dead tired last night after what happened, so I didn't have time to clean. I just woke up, so I didn't have time to tidy up this morning."

Ling Yue shook her head and said, "No, no, it's my fault for bothering you this morning."

Yes, it was very early, but this was the only time that she could come since she had come in her private time. She wasn't on duty as a police officer, but she had come to meet him on her own accord.

She didn't know why she did this…but there was something that had compelled her to do that.

After Ling Yue sat down, I said, "Do you want some tea or something?"

Ling Yue shook her head and said, "No, no, there's no need to trouble yourself like that. I just came because I wanted to have a small talk with you."

"Oh." I said before sitting down in front of her.

There was an awkward silence that filled the air after I sat down, but Ling Yue broke it in the end by saying, "So how are you feeling after yesterday's incident?"

I was caught off guard by this sudden question, but I still said, "I…I'm alright."

Because I had been caught off guard, there was a slight stutter to my voice.

When Ling Yue heard this, she couldn't help knitting her brows as a bit of worry appeared in her eyes.

At this, she took a deep breath before suddenly saying, "Can I ask you one thing?"

I was once again caught off guard by this, but I gave a slight nod and said, "Alright."

Ling Yue looked right into my eyes before saying, "Can you let me take care of you?"
