I Became the Demon King of Lust

Seeing the look on my face, the guide calmly said, "That should be enough of a reward for you."

She turned around and tapped the air in front of her.

When she did, there was this door that suddenly appeared in the middle of this room.

After making this room appear, she turned around to look at me and said, "When you're ready, this door will bring you back to the fiftieth floor."

Though the guide said this almost like I had all the time that I wanted, I could see the time that was above the door.

At the very least, she was giving me twenty minutes instead of the normal ten minutes. That was better than nothing since I needed all the time that I could get to think of a way to deal with the blue phoenix.

After all, there was nothing that I possessed that gave me confidence to deal with it.

Even my powers as a demon king seemed useless in front of this blue phoenix.

I doubted that I would be able to use my Hypnosis to control the blue phoenix and at the same time, I didn't want to use my Time Stop skill since that was my final trump card.

The rewards that came from this trial wasn't worth revealing my power here, so of course I wouldn't do it.

But as time went down, I still wasn't able to figure out a single thing.

There was just nothing that I could do since it was just too powerful for me to fight.

Even when it came to talking to it, it didn't seem like there was anything that could convince that blue phoenix to not kill me.

So when the time came to an end, I gave a sigh and walked up to the door as I said, "I guess I'll just try to stall for as long as I can and see if I can find anything about the blue phoenix."

But right before I stepped through the portal, I suddenly thought of something.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"She called herself a lady…maybe I can try that?"

As my voice fell, I had already stepped through the portal and was hit with the heat once more.

But this time, the blue phoenix wasn't sleeping.

Instead, it was just sitting there in the center of the room, staring at me.

Even before I appeared, it was already staring in this direction as if it already knew which direction I would appear in. It seemed that this blue phoenix knew much more about this place than I had thought.

But even after seeing me appear, it didn't seem like it was going to do anything.

It was almost as if it was waiting for me to do something.

So I took a deep breath and started moving forward.

As I moved forward, I could see the wary look that she cast in my direction. It was clear that she didn't trust me, but it would be strange if she did.

However, I made sure to raise my hand up to show that I meant no harm at all until I was right in front of the blue phoenix. It was hard to stand there just like before, but it also felt like I was a bit better off compared to before.

At the very least, I wasn't sweating like a dog this time, so I had at least adjusted to the heat a bit.

Once I was in front of her, I suddenly reached my arm forward to give a bow before saying, "My lady, I apologize for being rude earlier. If I may, may I make your acquaintance?"

There was no answer that followed which worried me a bit, so I couldn't help peeking up at the blue phoenix.

I saw that she was just staring at me without even blinking, almost as if she was sizing me up. As such, I could feel the pressure that was coming from this powerful SS Rank Monster, but I didn't buckle under this pressure.

Finally, the blue phoenix said, "Now this is the way that you're supposed to act. Finally, someone who understands how to treat a lady."

With a smile on her face, the blue phoenix said, "Alright, you can stand up and talk to me."

I let out a sigh of relief before standing up to look at the blue phoenix.

After a moment of hesitation, I suddenly said, "My name is Lin Fan. May I ask the lady what your name is?"

The blue phoenix gave a nod before saying, "My name is…"

Though she clearly said her name, it was almost as if there was something that blocked her words as I couldn't hear what she said.

The blue phoenix revealed an annoyed look when this happened before saying, "I guess for now, you can call me Blue Phoenix."

I slowly gave a nod, but there really wasn't much that I could ask since I didn't know what to say.

In the end, I didn't beat around the bush as I said, "My lady, is there some way that you could allow me to pass this trial?"

The blue phoenix gave a nod as she said, "Of course, this trial is one that's meant to be passed in the first place. I'm not a fan of fighting in the first place, but they always try to attack me right away, so there's no point in talking to them. However, it seems that you're different."

I let out a sigh of relief when I heard this before saying, "Then is there anything I can do to prove that I should pass this trial?"

The blue phoenix tilted her head as if she was thinking about it before saying, "Then how about you run a hundred laps around this room?"

My chin dropped as I looked at the blue phoenix in shock.

After a few seconds, I asked, "Are you sure that this is all you want?"

The blue phoenix raised a brow to look at me before saying, "What? You don't want to do it?"

"No, no." I said as I shook my head before saying, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

The blue phoenix said with a smile, "Then go ahead. I'll just watch over you."
