I Became the Demon King of Lust

When she pulled out this folder, everyone turned their attention to it, but she didn't show them what it was.

Instead, she opened it up in front of her and took out a piece of paper from inside before saying, "Born in XXXX in XXX City, he weighed XX pounds and…"

Long Shui Ling's mother started describing the events of my life as she read the piece of paper in front of her.

She went from my birth all the way to my current situation.

"Lost his parents and little sister during the dungeon breaks ten years ago."

I couldn't help feeling a sharp pain in my heart when I heard this.

Time heals all wounds, but that didn't mean that scars weren't left behind. They didn't hurt if they weren't poked at, but when they were brought up like this…

"He worked to put himself through school, but had no choice but to drop out to save money for his awakening ceremony. However, he failed that awakening ceremony not once, but four times. He was finally able to awaken on his final chance, but the power that he received was the F Rank Suggestion."

All I could do was reveal a wry smile when I heard all of this.

However, the way that the others looked at me had changed when they heard all of this.

Long Shui Ling looked at me with a sad look as she didn't know any of this.

Even her father and grandfather couldn't help looking at me with looks of pity when they heard all of this.

They didn't know any of this since they had been too consumed in their rage to actually check.

They had just wanted to take care of him without actually finding out what kind of person he was because for them, no one was good enough for their daughter/granddaughter.

"Later on, he went to take the Irregular License Exam and received a C Ranking, something that hadn't been done in a long time. For that, he was allowed to join Elementia and is now one of their members being specially trained."

When she finished reading this, Long Shui Ling's mother put the piece of paper back into the folder and looked at me to say, "It seems like you've done quite a bit, haven't you?"

I didn't know what to say, so I just simply gave a nod.

She didn't mind this as she turned to look at Long Shui Ling's father and grandfather to say, "Doesn't he seem like quite the young man? He's both hard working and determined, traits that the two of you can admire."

Both of them revealed bitter looks on their faces when they heard this, but they had no choice but to nod in agreement after a moment of hesitation.

From this, it sounded like he was a young man who was down on his luck who had worked hard to gain everything that he had now.

This was the kind of man that they could admire.

If only he wasn't here to take their Ling Ling away from them…

On the other hand, Long Shui Ling's eyes lit up when she heard this.

From the tone of her mother's voice, it seemed like her mother was willing to accept Lin Fan as a son in law.

If that was the case, didn't that mean that her mother was on her side?

All that was left was convincing her father and grandfather.

As for her grandmother, she could see that she was silently agreeing with her mother, which meant that she was also on the same side as her mother.

The one that was the most surprised though was me.

I had never thought that she would have checked my background so thoroughly.

The things that she read, there were things that others didn't know about me.

Since I had been busy, there weren't that many people that I was close to, so there weren't people that knew about these things.

She had gone this far just to check my background, it seemed that quite a bit of effort was put in…No, for the richest family, this should be something that was very easily done.

If they wanted to do something, it was nothing more than a snap of the finger and countless people would do it for them.

So it shouldn't have been hard for her to find this information.

But I could see that there were still more pieces of paper in the folder…

It should mean that there were other things that she was still holding onto that she hadn't brought out yet.

Just what else had she found about me?

Long Shui Ling's mother just gave a nod at Long Shui Ling and said, "It seems that you've found quite the good man for yourself."

Both her father and grandfather looked like they wanted to die when they heard this and they seemed like they were about to explode with their denial of this, but Long Shui Ling didn't let them.

She just gave a soft nod and said, "Un."

Then after that, there was another blush that appeared on her face as she looked down.

Long Shui Ling's mother revealed a faint smile before turning to look at me and asking, "What about you? How do you feel about our Ling Ling?"

I was surprised to hear this from her mother in such a direct manner.

I never thought that anyone would ask me this right to my face.

After she asked this, all of their eyes fell onto me, as if they were waiting for my answer.

But I couldn't help hesitating as I tried to figure out what was the best course of action.

In the end, it was the expectant way that Long Shui Ling looked at me that decided it.

If I didn't say anything now, it would just make things worse.

So taking a deep breath, I said, "While I haven't known her for long, I can say that I am fascinated by your daughter. Whether that can be called infatuation or not, I don't know, but I just don't want to be apart from her."

Long Shui Ling's eyes sparkled and there was a strong blush that appeared on her cheek when she heard this. There was a wide smile that appeared as she put her face in her hands to hide her embarrassment.

If one looked closely, they might even think that hearts would start flying out from behind her.

But on the opposite side, both her father and grandfather had ugly looks on their faces.

They looked like they wanted to do something, but their hands were completely tied when they saw how Long Shui Ling acted.

Her mother just looked at the two of us and gave a nod before saying with a faint smile, "It's good that you feel this way about each other. As long as you keep these feelings, I'm sure that there won't be a problem."

It almost seemed like she was giving her approval until…

"But there is still a problem to address."

After she said this, she pulled out another piece of paper from the folder that she put on the table in front of her before saying, "There's the matter of this police report."
