I Became the Demon King of Lust

There was a silence that hung in the air after Claire asked this.

All of us looked at her with different expressions.

The other three looked at her with strange looks as they didn't understand why she was acting this way.

I couldn't help feeling that there was almost a confrontational tone to her voice as she said this.

But why would she do that?

There should be no reason for her to act this way…

Long Shui Ling also seemed like she could hear this, so she hid behind me and peeked out at Claire who just kept glaring at her as she did this.

The silence lasted a long time before I broke it by saying, "Well, we met during the Irregular License Exam and we worked together. I wouldn't say that we're very close, but I can say that we know each other."

I could feel a hand pinching my back when I said this, but I didn't react to it at all.

Right now, it was more important for me to hide my relationship with Long Shui Ling.

It was fine for her to be a bit angry with me.

Claire narrowed her eyes to look at me this time as if she didn't trust me.

I couldn't help being surprised by this and raised a brow to look back at her, as if I was trying to figure her out.

She kept looking at me for a bit before suddenly turning to the side.

She turned around and said with a snort, "A person that we have never met before and wants to join our team, are you sure that they'll even be able to work with us? I don't need anyone holding us back."

The others couldn't help slowly giving nods when they heard this.

They had also been surprised when they heard that someone would be suddenly added to their group, but they definitely weren't as against it as Claire seemingly was.

It was almost as if she completely rejected Long Shui Ling as a person with how against it she was.

Still, this would give them an answer to their question, so they just silently waited to see what would happen.

I was about to say something, but before I could, Long Shui Ling popped out from behind me.

Though she didn't come out in front of me, at least she came up to my side and looked at Claire. At the same time, her hand also came out to the side and she grabbed my sleeve as if she was looking for support.

Taking a deep breath, Long Shui Ling said, "While I may be new, you can't just say that I will cause trouble without working with me first. I can't guarantee that I won't cause trouble, but I'll say that I'll do my best."

After that, her face turned a bit red and she lowered her head.

The other four all looked at her with surprised looks when they heard this.

Then Claire gave a snort and turned around again without saying a thing.

The other three all revealed smiles seeing this without saying anything.

Qin Yue Ru was the one that came forward towards Long Shui Ling and reached her hand out towards her.

Long Shui Ling hesitated for a second, but she still reached out her hand to take Qin Yue Ru's hand.

The two of them just held hands like this for a bit before Qin Yue Ru came right up to Long Shui Ling and said with a gushing look on her face, "You're just so cute, I can't help myself!"

Long Shui Ling was taken aback when she saw this, but she remained there and let Qin Yue Ru take her in her arms.

As she held her, Qin Yue Ru said, "I've always wanted a little sister, but I was an only child in the end."

Long Shui Ling slowly reached a hand out and patted Qin Yue Ru's hand.

But I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile when I heard this.

After a cough, I said, "She can't be your little sister."

"Huh?" Qin Yue Ru said with a confused voice.

I said with the same bitter smile, "She's older than me, so she can only be your big sister."

"Huh?" This time, it wasn't just Qin Yue Ru who said this.

It was all four of them that suddenly said this before turning to look at Long Shui Ling with shocked looks.

Long Shui Ling just revealed a smile and slowly gave a nod to confirm this.

All four of them looked at her with even more shocked looks.

This girl who looked like she was no more than ten years old was actually older than Lin Fan who was older than them?

How was this possible?

I just shook my head and gave a sigh before saying, "The sooner you accept this fact, the easier it'll be."

Then I just ignored them as they slowly broke the ice with Long Shui Ling.

Because of Qin Yue Ru, the other two slowly also approached her.

The only one that was still holding back was Claire who was strangely hostile towards Long Shui Ling, but that was something that couldn't be changed in a single day.

Seeing that things had gone well, Su Chen came over to me and said, "You have an appointment with a dungeon in the afternoon."

I was surprised to hear this, but Su Chen added, "The upper management thought that it would be easier for you to bond if you work together to clear a dungeon."

I couldn't help revealing a faint smile when I heard this, but I just gave a nod to acknowledge this without saying anything else.

Since they had prepared a dungeon for us, I had no reason to reject this.

After all, they were right.

It would help our team to work together to clear a dungeon, that would let them bond faster as they saw Long Shui Ling's power.

"You know that she likes you, right?"
