Magical girl? There's no going back!

"I would like to ask you to leave the border and stay here to help me deal with my sister. In return, you can still keep your territory and you don't have to hand over the income from the crystal mine. Are you willing?" asked the Wolf King.

The eyes of the generals around widened. The strongest general with the largest territory among them could only split the profits 40% to 60% with the Wolf King. However, the Wolf King was willing to give Li Xuan all the crystal mine income right away. This was simply unheard of for them.

"Lord Wolf King, isn't this a bit too much? Even if you need to win over subordinates for the war, giving 40% to 60% will be enough." An experienced general couldn't help but speak up.

"Thank you for your guidance, but I think this is only the minimum condition to get Mr. Black Wolf's help - am I right?" said the Wolf King, looking at Li Xuan with his soft eyes.

"You are right. This condition may be considered generous to you, but it is of no benefit to me. Because the crystal mine is already in my hands. Even without your approval, the income already belongs to me." Li Xuan replied.

The surrounding monsters were in an uproar again: saying such words in front of the Wolf King was no different from open rebellion. They were all rubbing their hands, waiting for the Wolf King's order to tear him into pieces.

However, the Wolf King was not angry. Instead, he asked in an almost pleading tone, "Then, can you tell me your conditions? What exactly do I have to do in order for you to help me defeat my sister?"

This time, the Wolf King's reaction not only made the monsters exclaim that they had never seen such a thing before, but even Li Xuan himself was quite surprised. He had not shown much strength in the Lost Land, so why did the Wolf King want to win him over to this extent?

Besides, everyone said that in this wolf civil war, my sister has always been the advantageous party. Logically speaking, she should not need to offer such a high price for herself.

"Lord Wolf King, this is not a matter of conditions. I am lazy by nature and don't like being governed by others, so don't call me to such troublesome things as fighting a war." After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan gave his answer.

"Don't you like being governed by others?" Upon hearing this, the Wolf King showed an embarrassed expression and seemed to be in deep thought.

Just when Li Xuan thought she was finally going to give up, she suddenly said with difficulty: "In this case, I will marry you as my son-in-law as the war commander, and we will rule the Wolf Demon territory together on an equal footing. Are you willing to do this?"

"Ah? You want to marry me as your son-in-law?" The development of the matter was far beyond Li Xuan's expectations. He was so surprised that he could hardly believe his ears.

"Warmaster! This is ridiculous! Today's negotiations are simply a joke. Please forgive me for not accepting such a ridiculous condition!"

The general at the side could not help but slam the table and stood up. He turned around and left with his subordinates without waiting for the Wolf King's order. Several generals also followed him and left to show their dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, I don't have enough ability to lead you...Please go back for now." The Wolf King stood up from his seat and bowed to his subordinates to apologize.

Everyone left in unhappiness, and the Wolf King left the venue with the help of the maid.

Seeing how things had turned out, Li Xuan was about to leave, but he didn't expect that as soon as he reached the door, the wolf maid called him.

"The Wolf King invites you to the reception room for a meeting." The wolf maid whispered in his ear.

"There is one thing I don't quite understand. Why did your Wolf King offer me such exaggerated conditions? Doesn't she know that this will make other subordinates dissatisfied?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"Well, let's wait until you meet the Wolf King first." The wolf maid replied vaguely.

Li Xuan would naturally not refuse the opportunity to meet the beautiful girl in private. He followed the wolf maid out of the venue and came to a reception room converted from a restaurant.

"The Wolf King is inside. She has ordered us not to disturb her, so please go in yourself." The wolf maid opened the door and stood outside respectfully.

The wolf king's inexplicable kindness made Li Xuan a little worried that this was a trap, so he instructed Yao and the black cat to quietly come nearby before he walked in.

The environment in the reception room was very warm, with some childlike graffiti on the wall. The Wolf King was sitting at a very ordinary dining table waiting for his arrival. There were no sumptuous dishes on the table, only two cups of black tea and a few plates of freshly baked cookies.

"Please sit down. I'm sorry I don't have anything good to treat you. These black tea and biscuits are made by me. I hope you don't mind." The Wolf King said softly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Wolf King, but what you just said..."

"You should call me by my name. My name is Perrol. Of course, when there are others around, you should call me Wolf King. Otherwise, those people will be unhappy again."

In a solitary environment, the Wolf King seemed much more relaxed. She took off the hood on her head, revealing her dazzling golden hair.

Without the hood blocking her view, Li Xuan noticed that she had a pair of green eyes, as clear as gemstones, exuding a kind and simple aura from the inside out.

Moreover, she did not have wolf ears on her head. She looked completely human, and even the aura of evil energy could not be detected.

"Okay, Miss Perrol. Forgive my offense, but you are indeed very different from the Wolf King I imagined." Li Xuan said.

"What do you imagine the wolf king to be like? A big, ferocious wolf that can eat me in one bite?" Perrol laughed.

Her smile was innocent and cute. If the hunting radar hadn't indicated otherwise, Li Xuan would have mistaken her for a magical girl.

"That's not the case, but I heard that you once avenged your grandmother and killed your sister with your own hands. But you look so petite, I really can't imagine you killing someone." Li Xuan replied.

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Perrol couldn't help but sigh: "You are right, I am indeed a coward. But the situation at that time really didn't allow me to think too much. My sister killed my grandmother and swallowed her heart. The heart is the source of our family's strength. As long as the heart is still beating, we will not really die. So my sister did this because she wanted to kill my grandmother completely."

Hearing this, Li Xuan subconsciously looked at Perrol's left breast, but because of the red robe, Li Xuan could not accurately judge her cup size.

"At that time, I had only one thought, which was to save grandma, so I used scissors to cut open my sister's stomach while she was sleeping and took out her heart. But by then the heart had stopped beating and grandma could no longer be saved. I was so scared that I stuffed stones into my sister's stomach, sewed it up, and threw her into the sea. After that, the wolf demons revered me as the Wolf King." Perrol continued.

"This is a bit like a fairy tale I've heard - I remember it, it's the story of Little Red Riding Hood, I told it to my cat at home last night." Li Xuan sounded somewhat familiar, so he mentioned it casually.

"What a coincidence, my nickname is 'Little Red Riding Hood'. I never thought there would be a similar story to mine in the world... By the way, speaking of this, Mr. Black Wolf seems to be from outside, right?" Perrol suddenly asked.

Chapter 277 Cruelty and Kindness

"Yes, I came here from outside." Li Xuan knew that many of his characteristics were incompatible with the monsters in the Lost Land, so he no longer concealed it.

"Then...it must be fun outside, right? My grandma told me there's a blue sky, a golden sun, and an endless sea outside. I really want to go out and take a look."

When talking about this, Perol's eyes lit up with excitement, just like a little girl who wanted to go out for a trip.

"There are a lot of magical girls out there, and they are the mortal enemies of monsters." Li Xuan reminded.

"Alas... I've also met some magical girls, and they were all kind people. It would be great if we could create a world where humans and monsters could live in harmony, so that we wouldn't have to fight each other." Peyrol sighed.

"You are so kind that you don't even seem like a monster." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"That's not wrong. My sister and I are not completely monsters," Perrol said.

"Oh? Incomplete means—"

"This is a secret, please don't tell anyone else: My sister and I have the same mother and father. My sister's parents are both monsters, but my father is a human." Perrol said in a low voice.

"There is actually such a thing? Is there no reproductive isolation between monsters and humans?" Li Xuan said in surprise.

"What does reproductive isolation mean?" Perrol asked curiously.

Seeing Perrol's bewildered look, Li Xuan knew that what he had explained was a bit beyond her scope, so he took a sip of black tea and said, "So, how did your father meet your mother? Don't monsters usually kill or eat humans when they see them?"

"My grandmother said: My mother left when I was very young. She never told me who my father was. She only said that he was a human." Perrol said softly.

"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't ask that."

"It's okay. I invited you here so that we can have a conversation in a more relaxed atmosphere." Perol smiled innocently again. That angelic smile seemed to purify people's souls, making it difficult for them to have any romantic thoughts.

But Li Xuan successfully overcame this difficulty and still stood up even in the face of that pure smile - because when Perrol reached out to take the biscuit, he inadvertently revealed a hint of whiteness on his chest.

"At least there's a C."

Li Xuan, who had tasted countless cups, made his judgment immediately.

"What has a C?" Perrol asked curiously while eating a cookie.

"Oh, I mean Nagato Yuki, a character in the cartoon." Li Xuan quickly explained.

"You really are from the outside world. You speak so many new words that I am confused. Let's talk about business." Perol said with a smile.

"The serious matter is about recruiting me as a son-in-law?"

"That... that was just a solution I came up with in a desperate situation. But if this is the only way you can help me, then it's okay." When Perrol mentioned this, his face immediately turned red and he put down the biscuit he was eating halfway.

"So, why do you want to win me over? I just defeated one of your generals, and it seems that he is not very powerful among you." Li Xuan asked curiously.

"I can tell at a glance that you are very strong. You have enough ability to help me defeat my sister, so even if it means sacrificing myself, I will keep you here." Perrol said shyly.

"But I heard that you were the superior party in the war. Even without me, you can still beat my sister, right?"

"Everyone thinks so, because less than one-fifth of the tribesmen support my sister's seizure of the throne. The snake demon is very far away from here and the support it can provide is quite limited. So the battle situation seems to be in our favor."

"That actually..."

"The reason why they think they have a sure win is because they don't know my sister's strength." Perrol showed a solemn expression when he mentioned his sister.

"Is your sister strong?"

"Very strong. I dare say that even the other six warmasters cannot compare to her. She is powerful enough to ignore numbers. As long as she wants, she can fight in and out of the royal city and no one can stop her." Perrol said affirmatively.

"Then why didn't she do it? She could have just charged into the royal city alone and killed the generals who didn't support her, and she could have won the war, right?"

"There are two reasons: one is that the wound I cut on her has not yet healed completely; the other is that I am still alive, which makes her somewhat afraid," said Perrol.

"So, you are close to her in strength?"

"Of course I am not as good as my sister, but my scissors have a strong inhibitory effect on immortality, and the wounds cut with them will be difficult to heal. In fact, if I use this pair of scissors, I will have a great chance of defeating my sister, but I don't want to do that." Perrol said embarrassedly.

"You are concerned about the friendship between sisters, so you can't bear to do it?"

"No, from the moment she killed my grandmother, I no longer considered her my sister. Moreover, she is extremely cruel and warlike. If she becomes the warmaster, I am afraid that this world will never have peace."

"Then why don't you want to use the scissors? Is there a price to pay for using them?"

"You're right," Perrol said with a wry smile, "Mr. Black Wolf, you don't sense any evil energy in me, do you?"

"Yes, you must have hidden it in some way, right?"

"No, I didn't hide anything. There is absolutely no evil energy in my body. My sister and I have been practicing the family's secret arts since we were young, transforming the evil energy into an energy called 'madness'. This energy is stronger, more violent, and more unstable than the evil energy. While greatly improving our combat capabilities, it will also make us gradually lose our rationality until we become monsters that only know how to kill. It will take a long time to recover." Perrol said dejectedly.

"But, you need madness to control the scissors, right?" Li Xuan guessed.

"You are absolutely right. Once I use the scissors against my sister, it means that the two beasts will go on a killing spree. No matter who wins or loses, there will be a bloody storm. I really don't want to see that happen. But with your help, I can defeat my sister before she goes completely crazy and minimize casualties." Perrol explained.

"You are such a good leader. You are even willing to sacrifice yourself for the safety of your people. You are just like a saint." Li Xuan exclaimed.

"So, are you willing to help me? I really don't want to see anyone die for me." Perol held Li Xuan's hand. His tearful eyes and sincere expression made it difficult for Li Xuan to say no.

Chapter 278 You are right, but the fight for the crown prince has always been like this

"Perrol, your words are indeed very touching, but I am an outsider, and the things here..."

"I understand that this is a very important decision. You can take your time to think about it. My sister's injury will take at least one or two months to heal completely. You have plenty of time." Perrol smiled.

"Okay, I'll consider your proposal again."

"In that case, let me take you around the royal city! The royal city is quite large and there are many places worth visiting." Perrol stood up and said.

"Is this appropriate? I can't afford for the Wolf King to personally act as my tour guide." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm also feeling very bored in the palace. I'll just walk around with you to relax." Perrol said with a smile.

"That's fine, but your red robe is a bit too eye-catching. I think you should change into another one." Li Xuan suggested.

"That won't do. This red robe is made of special fabric and must be worn all the time. Only by ensuring that the fabric fits the body can the madness be suppressed. So it must not be taken off. Even when washing clothes, you have to wear them while washing." Perrol shook his head hurriedly.

"Oh? If we want to ensure a good fit, then we have to include underwear..."

Perrault blushed immediately: "Yes, you can't even wear underwear, otherwise it will affect the suppression effect. But don't worry, I have my own way."

After Perrol finished speaking, he rang a small bell on the table, and the wolf maid walked in.

She whispered something, and the wolf maid nodded, quickly fetching a large grey robe and draping it over Perrol, completely covering her red robe. With the hood up, even her face couldn't be seen clearly.

"When I want to go out on my own, I dress like this. Many people here wear this kind of gray robe, and it won't attract strange looks." Perrol said.

"Well, then I'll trouble Miss Perrol to accompany me for a walk." Li Xuan said with a smile.

Perrol nodded, took Li Xuan out of the reception room, and walked out of the royal city on foot.

Although he had changed into a grey robe, Perrol was still barefoot, and his delicate soles stepped on the hard road surface, as if he had already gotten used to it.

"Have you been walking barefoot like this all the time?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"Well, I'm not used to wearing shoes. It makes me feel restrained," Perrol replied.

"Aren't you afraid of pricking your feet? Or getting your soles dirty or something like that."

"Don't be afraid. Actually, my feet are not off the ground. If you look carefully, you will find that I am always suspended at a height of about one centimeter." Perrol said.

Since Perrol had spoken himself, Li Xuan bent down without hesitation and observed carefully.

It was a pair of pink and white feet like flower buds, so tender that you could squeeze water out of them. Several blue veins could be clearly seen on the white soles of the feet, extending to the small bulges at the ankles. The ten toes were as round and smooth as pearls, and the curve of the arch was also very beautiful, making Li Xuan want to compare these feet with the Dancing Flame Feet.

Looking down again, the pair of feet were indeed suspended in the air. Although it was only one or two centimeters, it avoided direct contact between the soles of the feet and the ground, so that the feet would not be stained by a single speck of dust.

Li Xuan couldn't help but reach out and pinch his toes. The soft, sticky and smooth touch made him feel as if he was touching freshly baked soft bread.

"Huh?" Perol retracted his foot reflexively, leaned against the wall and looked at Li Xuan with horror.

Seeing Perrol's reaction, Li Xuan knew that she was obviously a pure and conservative person, so he had to give up the idea of ​​playing with those little feet.

"I saw that there was dust on your feet, so I helped you clean it up." Li Xuan explained.

"Eh? Is that so?" Perrol raised his foot and looked at it curiously, and a piece of white calf was suddenly revealed under the gray robe.

"I have wiped it off." Li Xuan said.

"Well...thank you very much, but next time this happens, please tell me that I can wipe it myself." Perrol said shyly.

"Okay, let's continue." Li Xuan agreed calmly.
