Magical girl? There's no going back!

Following Perrol's footsteps, the two walked through a narrow path, climbed over a hill of construction waste, and came to a lush green forest.
This was supposed to be a neighborhood, or perhaps a park, but now, the forest of steel has been swallowed up by the real forest, with only scattered bricks and glass proving that this was once a city.
There were some unknown yellow wildflowers blooming deep in the forest, and the air was so fresh that one couldn't help but take a deep breath. Many small animals were running and playing in the forest, not afraid of people, and even a squirrel jumped into Perrol's hand and gave her a pine nut.
"Are you so popular among small animals?" Li Xuan exclaimed.
"I often come here to treat their wounds, you see--" Peyrol said, pointing to the squirrel's hind legs.
Only then did Li Xuan discover that the squirrel only had half of its left hind leg, and the other half was replaced by a wearable prosthesis.
"You did this too?"
"Yes, I am good at treatment. I can heal most wounds, but in the case of broken limbs, they can only be replaced with prosthetic limbs." Perrol said dejectedly.
"You have such a deft hand. This thing is so exquisite." Li Xuan praised.
"My grandmother taught me. My sister is more skillful with her hands, but she never bothered to learn these things. What she likes is fighting and killing. She enjoys the pleasure of killing enemies on the battlefield. If there are no enemies, she will even kill her own people. Many of the maids who served us were brutally killed by her - without any reason, just because she thought of a new way of execution." When Perrol said this, his shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
"In fact, your sister is more in line with my impression of the Wolf King. Cruel, bloodthirsty, and extremely powerful, isn't this the stereotype of a monster?"
"If it were just brutality, maybe it wouldn't be so scary. But my sister is not just a simple killing maniac, she is also good at deception and disguise. When she killed my grandmother, she tricked my grandmother into eating a poisoned cake under the pretext of celebrating her birthday, and then killed her after the poison took effect. My grandmother knew very well that she coveted the throne of the war commander, but she thought that my sister would at most use some dishonorable means to fight for the throne, and she never expected that she would actually attack her closest relatives..." As Perol spoke, tears flowed down his face uncontrollably.
"Sorry, sorry, I said a lot of irrelevant things, right? I usually don't dare to tell these to my subordinates, so once I start talking, I can't stop." Perol wiped his tears with his robe, but the more he wiped, the more tears came, and soon the tear marks wet a large area of his clothes.
"You're right, but the fight for the crown prince has always been like this..." Although it was an occasion where he should express empathy, Li Xuan inexplicably thought of a line from a game.
Chapter 279 Dangerous Poison
"What...persimmons? Do you want to eat persimmons? But it's out of season now..."
"No, I'm talking about a story about brothers fighting for the throne. It's somewhat similar to your situation at the time, but not as bloody." Li Xuan said, telling Perol the story of Linzi Hou composing a poem in seven steps.
Although for him, this was just a short story that he learned while playing games, but for Perrol, it was extremely novel. She had only heard a few fairy tales told by her grandmother in her life, and had never heard of a story adapted from historical events.
While listening to the story, Perrol seemed to have returned to his childhood, the happy time when he snuggled in his grandmother's arms and listened to bedtime stories.
Seeing that she was interested, Li Xuan used all his life's knowledge to tell her all the relevant historical allusions he knew. When he talked about the unofficial history of the love triangle between the two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and Zhen Ji, Perrol's gossipy spirit was immediately ignited, and she listened with great interest, almost bumping into a tree several times.
Seeing Perrol's admiring eyes, Li Xuan felt a little ashamed: he had always been poor at studying history when he was in school. If he hadn't read some historical allusions while playing games, he would be at a loss now.
"Mr. Black Wolf, you know so much! More than I will ever know in my entire life!" Perrol exclaimed.
"That's nothing. If you meet Tang Xi, she would tell you a different story like this for three days and three nights without repeating herself." Li Xuan said with a smile.
"Really? Then what happened to Cao Pi and Madam Zhen?"
"Cao Pi."
"Eh? Why don't I understand?"
"It was a noun just now, but now it's a verb."
"I still don't quite understand. Just tell me, did they live a happy and fulfilling life afterwards?"
"No, they all died later."
"Ah? They're all dead?!"
"Yes, they are ancient people from thousands of years ago, of course they are all dead...By the way, is the history of this world the same as before I traveled through it?" Li Xuan muttered softly.
"But, shouldn't the ending of every story be happy and beautiful?" Perrol asked innocently, blinking his cute big eyes.
"Because you listened to fairy tales when you were a child, and what I'm telling you now are stories for adults."
The two chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had come to the depths of the forest. There was a gentle stream here, which was probably a drainage ditch in the past, and many small animals stopped here to drink water.
Perrol was feeling a little sleepy, so he pulled Li Xuan to sit down by the stream and continued to tell him stories.
At this time, Li Xuan had already finished telling all the anecdotes he could remember, and was thinking about what else he could make up to fool this pure and lovely girl, when he suddenly heard a spine-chilling hissing sound coming from behind him.
He turned his head quickly and saw a emerald green poisonous snake suddenly biting his calf.
Li Xuan tore it into two pieces and pulled it off his leg, but he felt a piercing pain at the place on his calf where it was bitten.
This snake was obviously a monster without intelligence, but its fangs could actually penetrate Li Xuan's defense. It must have specialized penetrating abilities, and its venom was also very powerful. The place where Li Xuan was bitten turned purple and black in an instant.
"It's a snake-shaped monster. How did it get here? I came here to check last week, and there shouldn't be any dangerous creatures here." Perrol was horrified when he saw the venomous snake broken into two pieces.
"I was careless. The aura of this thing was hidden so well that it deceived my perception." Li Xuan sat down, tied the stockings he brought with him below his knees, and was about to take out a bottle of joy wine to detoxify, but Perol had already leaned over his wound and sucked the poisonous blood with his little mouth.
Li Xuan saw that there was such a service, and immediately closed the half-open portal. Although the power of this venom is strong, it can't cause much damage as long as the evil energy is used to stop the spread. Compared with the drug-taking service of Wolf King Loli, it is nothing.
After sucking out the black poisonous blood, Perrol immediately spat it out, then leaned over to suck it again, and did not stop until what he spat out was fresh blood.
"Please be patient for a moment, I will treat you now." Perrol said, covering Li Xuan's wound with his small hands, closing his eyes and chanting a few spells.
A green light was seen moving from Perrol's hand to Li Xuan's wound. The pain caused by the venom disappeared instantly, and even the four small holes bitten by the venomous snake healed instantly. After the wound healed, Li Xuan felt very light, as if he had suddenly become several years younger, and his whole body was full of energy.
"Wow, I've never seen such efficient healing magic." Li Xuan exclaimed.
"This is not magic, but an ability I was born with." Perrol held his forehead, looking a little listless.
"You look a little uncomfortable?" Li Xuan helped her to sit down next to a tree with concern, and took the opportunity to pinch her warm and soft little hand.
"It's okay, just take a short rest. This is a side effect of my ability. I can directly distribute vitality to others. The snake just now was highly poisonous, and I was afraid that you would be in danger, so I gave you more vitality." Perrol replied.
"Sharing your life force directly, isn't this too much of a burden for you?"
"It doesn't matter. My sister and I are both immortal, so our vitality will recover naturally. I often treat my subordinates and small animals in this way. The worst case is just a matter of sleeping for a day or two." Perrol smiled, hugging his knees.
"You are so kind to your subordinates. Giving them vitality directly is equivalent to exchanging their lives for others. Even if they are immortal, they will probably feel very uncomfortable, right?"
"No matter how sad I am, it is better than watching them die. My grandmother died in front of me and I was powerless to do anything. I still remember that feeling of powerlessness. So whenever I see someone injured in front of me, even if they are my enemy, I can't help but heal them," said Perrol.
"It's hard to imagine that you live in a world of monsters where the strong prey on the weak, and you can actually say something like that."
"You are right. Kindness is a luxury here. I am too naive and idealistic to manage the wolf demon's territory well, so I never talk about these things with others, and most of the government affairs are left to consultants and generals." Perrol said dejectedly.
"That's very well said. Even in the outside world, kindness is a rare luxury. Let's get back to the topic! Don't you think this snake is from here?" Li Xuan asked as he picked up half of the dead snake.
"Yes, there are snakes here, but there are definitely no such demonized venomous snakes. This is also thanks to your strong strength. If a weaker wolf demon was bitten by it, it would probably have died without even having time for treatment." Perrol nodded.
"I remember you said that your sister was supported by the snake demon to compete for the position of war commander. Is it possible..." Li Xuan guessed.
"You mean... my sister asked the snake demon to release this poisonous snake? If so, everyone in the city may be in danger." Perol was shocked and immediately held Li Xuan's hand to stand up and walk out.
Chapter 280: One-time Son-in-law
Perrol took Li Xuan's hand and walked quickly towards the edge of the forest. As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw a wolf maid lying there with a painful look on her face.
"What happened? What happened to you?" Perrol asked in panic.
The wolf maid was speechless, she just gritted her teeth and pointed weakly at her waist.
Perrol hastily tore open the clothes around his waist, and saw four small holes bitten by the snake's fangs in the middle of a large area of purple-black skin.
"Another snake bite." Perrol stretched out his middle finger, turned his nail into a sharp wolf claw, scratched her skin to release the black poisonous blood, and then directly treated her wound by giving her vitality.
"Lord Wolf King... that's enough. Please don't waste your life force on me anymore. I'm here to tell you something - someone has released a lot of demonized poisonous snakes in the royal city, and many people have been bitten." The maid took a breath and struggled to stop Perrol from continuing the treatment.
"That won't work. You'll die if you leave it alone." Perrol insisted on using his own vitality to completely heal the wolf maid until she regained her ability to move, and then he took Li Xuan away.
There was chaos outside. Many people fell to the ground in pain. Some were searching for poisonous snakes everywhere and killing them immediately if they caught any.
"I am the Wolf King Perrol! Please bring all the people bitten by poisonous snakes to me!" Perrol came to the crowded place, took off his outer gray robe and shouted loudly.
Her voice was not loud, but the conspicuous red robe immediately made people recognize her identity. However, for some reason, not many people were willing to send the injured over.
"Where is the direct corps? Please help me gather the wounded!" Perol shouted anxiously as he watched his people die one after another.
Fortunately, her troops arrived quickly and, according to orders, searched the entire area for the wounded. As long as they were still breathing, they were sent to Perrol, and Perrol treated them one by one without distinction of status.
"Can you handle so many injured people?" Li Xuan asked worriedly.
"It's okay. I've observed everyone's injuries. Most of the venomous snakes are not as poisonous as the one that bit you, so the vitality consumed is not too much. Besides, I'm immortal, so I'll be over if I hold on." Perrol said, continuing to consume his own vitality to heal the wounded.
"So, the poisonous snake that bit me was special? No... it would be too strange if it targeted me directly. There is no signal machine here. Could it be that it was coming for you?" Li Xuan asked doubtfully.
"Eh? Are you saying someone wants to harm me?"
"Yes, if I hadn't come, would you have gone to that forest today?"
"I will go there. I always go there regularly to treat the animals, but only my maid knows about this," said Perrol.
"In that case, it is very likely that an insider betrayed your information, and I just happened to be implicated. Didn't you say that your sister had the support of the snake demon? And the poison this time happened to be a snake." Li Xuan guessed.
"Oh my God, this is so terrible... This must be my sister's idea. She knows my character very well. Even if the poisonous snake can't kill me, I will definitely consume my vitality to heal the wounds of the people. Once my vitality is exhausted, no one will be able to restrain my sister!" Perol said in panic.
"What a sinister plan. I think it's similar to mine." Li Xuan thought to himself.
"Then what are you going to do? If you continue with the treatment, you will fulfill her wish." Li Xuan said.
"But I can't just ignore the life in front of me..."
Due to the massive consumption of vitality, Perrol's face turned pale, and her dark golden hair gradually lost its luster and turned almost snow-white. But she still did not stop the treatment, and continued to treat the painful wounded.
"How about this, if your guess is correct, then she must be lying in ambush nearby. How about I help you look for her?" Li Xuan actually wanted to meet this sister with a unique personality, so he offered to search by himself.
"I'm afraid it's difficult. There is no evil energy in our clan, and ordinary perception abilities can't find her at all." Perrol held her forehead with one hand and used the other hand to treat a human who was sent here - even if the human was not her people, she would still treat him.
"That's true. So we're just going to let her seize the throne?" Li Xuan asked.
"Mr. Black Wolf, I would like to ask you for a favor." Perrol said softly.
"What's the deal?"
"Sister must be watching from behind now. I hope you can show me your strength in any way. Sister is a very smart person. Once she realizes that there is a strong person like you around me, she will definitely retreat."
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. At the welcoming ceremony this morning, there were several generals under your command who were stronger than me." Li Xuan said.
"Of course it is true if we only look at the level of fel energy, so it refers to your true strength." Perrol smiled sweetly, revealing a hint of playfulness and cunning.
From that playful smile, Li Xuan was sure that this Lolita Wolf King had somehow sensed his hidden power, so he tried his best to win him over. To some extent, he could be said to have an extraordinary vision.
"Okay, in that case, I'll help you. But how are you going to repay me?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.
"...You really know how to pick the time. You know very well that in this situation, no matter what conditions you put forward, I can't refuse, right?" Perol smiled helplessly.
"Well, is your previous offer to recruit me as your son-in-law still valid?"
"The words of the Wolf King are naturally effective. As long as you help me this time, I am willing to share the throne of the Wolf King with you." Perrol said with a red face.
"Don't worry, I'm not that greedy. I don't want the throne of the Wolf King, but I'm still very interested in the Wolf King himself. So, as long as you let me be your son-in-law for one night, I'll help you this time. It's a cheap deal, right?" Li Xuan said with a smirk.
"Isn't that too much? You are simply playing with my feelings!" Perrol's eyes widened, with a hint of coquettishness and shame in his tone.
"Then would you?"
"I...I promise you! Just one night, it won't cost me a thing..." Perrol had no choice but to agree.
"That's straightforward. You are worthy of being the Wolf King." Li Xuan smiled, stood up and looked around.
At this time, the number of people bitten by venomous snakes is still increasing, and it is obvious that the efficiency of snake catching is not very high.
Li Xuan thought for a moment, and then created a small monster based on the honey badger in the template of Corrupted Blood. This monster had extremely high resistance to poison and was not afraid of venom at all. It also had sharp fangs and claws that could tear apart poisonous snakes.
He then released a massive rain of forgiveness, causing all the corrupted blood to transform into these badger-like monsters in the air.
The strength of badger-type monsters is at most D-level, so only a very small amount of corrupted blood is needed, so the amount is simply unbelievable.
Li Xuan issued a unified order to all monsters, asking them to search the entire city for poisonous snakes and bite them to death immediately if they were caught.
Seeing these badger-like monsters falling from the sky, the city suddenly fell into greater chaos. Many monsters were frightened and even these badger-like monsters joined in the attack.
In order to avoid panic, Perrol hurriedly let his own troops announce to the whole city as the Wolf King, so that everyone would not be afraid of these badger-like monsters.
In fact, in Li Xuan's opinion, this is no longer important. Because there are too many badger-type monsters, even if some are accidentally injured, it is enough to completely eliminate the venomous snakes.
Chapter 281 The Devil’s Buddha Heart
Sure enough, after just over half an hour, all the poisonous snakes in the city were wiped out and eaten clean by the badger-like monsters like spicy strips.
After killing all the poisonous snakes, Li Xuan opened the passage to the illusory evil land and commanded the monsters to line up and enter the portal, and then temporarily stay on the first platform that had been basically abandoned.
The residents of the city watched the countless monsters that descended from the sky and quickly disappeared, and they couldn't help but doubt their own eyes. Only those who saw Li Xuan command the monsters knew what had happened.
"This is a pretty good show, right? We also got rid of the poisonous snakes in the city." Li Xuan said with a smile.
"I know you have hidden powers, but I didn't expect it to appear in this form. My sister shouldn't dare to attack rashly now. After all, her injuries haven't healed completely yet..."
Perrol looked at the leftover snake skins on the ground, his smile seemed a little stiff, and he didn't know whether it was because he had overdrawn his vitality or for some other reason.
