Magical girl? There's no going back!

"Did you catch her true form just now? Didn't the information say that her true form was in a dream?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"It's very simple. There is a sentence in the document saying '?????? should be activated immediately to suppress it.' Based on my understanding of sealing magic, the six blocked words should be 'double forbidden barrier'.

This barrier can interfere with both the spiritual and material realms at the same time. As long as the timing of activation is accurate enough, it can catch the real body - of course, she is still in a dream, and what we just saw was just the overlap caused by the double barrier. "Li Sijie explained.

“I don’t understand at all, but it’s a good thing to give that girl a hard time, so that she won’t do whatever she wants just because others can’t catch her.” Li Xuan dug his ears, opened the portal and sent Li Sijie back to reality.

While Li Xuan and Li Sijie were working on the construction outside, Alulu, who was lying in her mother's arms, poked her head out blankly: "Mom, what's the noise outside? Why is it so noisy? It sounds like there is construction going on at the construction site."

"Who knows? This room has been sealed and I have no way of knowing what's happening outside." Lilika said helplessly.

"Mom, tell me the truth, wasn't it you who directed and acted this out just to get me to do my homework?" Alulu suddenly asked.

"How is that possible? How brave must a mother be to put herself into this play?" Lilika said with a wry smile.

Alulu thought so too, and thought of how much injustice her mother had suffered for her, so she said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Mom, I shouldn't have doubted you. It's all my daughter's fault that Mom..."

"It's okay, dear. As long as you are safe, that's more important than anything else. The owner here seems to treat you well. Mommy will find a chance to ask him to let you out later." Lilika said lovingly as she rested her daughter's head on her chest.

"Mom, please don't use the tablet to cushion my head. It's a bit... " Alulu felt her head hitting a hard bone. She quickly broke free from her mother's arms and hugged her mother, who was several sizes younger than her, in her arms in a tablet position.

"You are such a bad boy, making fun of your mother..." Lilika was deeply immersed in the softness of her daughter, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

"Mom, it's the same. You've known about my identity as a magical girl for a long time, but you never pointed it out and even hid your identity from me." Alulu said disdainfully.

"Isn't that for you... I say, although I just said that your safety is more important than anything else, you still have to do your homework as usual. How is your recitation of ancient poems? And classical Chinese has always been your weak point. Have you asked the teacher for some tips?" Lilika asked.

"Mom, you miss me so much that I'm confused. Take a rest and stop talking." When Alulu saw her mother asking about study, she quickly used a facial cleanser to stop her from continuing.

Chapter 91 Happy time is about to begin?

The next morning, Li Xuan came to the twelfth floor and sent Ms. Lilika home in a friendly manner. Then he summoned all the magical girls and told them not to go to the upper platform.

Although the magical girls were curious, they naturally did not dare to disobey since their master had spoken.

So Li Xuan took Li Sijie up there every day and worked hard with him. When they were tired, they went back downstairs to rest.

When Li Sijie is not around, she goes downstairs to play arcade games with Tan Xiang, or goes to visit Bingrui and Tang Xi, or randomly selects one or several magical girls to happily become part of the group. Her life is very enjoyable.

Happy times passed day by day, Alulu's homework became less and less, Tang Xi miraculously found new inspiration for his novel, and even the introverted Tan Xiang slowly integrated into the circle of the three little ones thanks to her relationship with Wu Yan. The four of them got together to do their homework and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

The only one who didn't change was Bingrui. She always maintained a tough attitude after being captured. Even when Li Xuan threatened Tang Xi's life and even fed her the blood of corruption, she had no intention of giving in.

"This is the first time I've seen such a tough magical girl. Even the Blood of Corruption is ineffective?" Li Xuan couldn't help but admire her as he looked at the progress of the Magic Corruption that was always stuck at around 60% and kept floating back and forth.

"Devil, you can kill me if you want, but you can never make me fall into evil!" Bingrui opened her bloodshot eyes and stared at Li Xuan fiercely.

Seeing Bingrui's resolute attitude, Li Xuan couldn't help but think of Xu Rou. She also used her willpower to suppress the evil in her body after drinking the blood of corruption by mistake, until she learned that she was betrayed by her best friend, her psychological defense line completely collapsed, and then she fell into the abyss.

However, Bingrui does not have such conditions. Although she admires Tang Xi, their relationship is just temporary colleagues. There is no emotional foundation like the childhood sweetheart relationship between Xu Rou and Qi Mo.

Therefore, even if Li Xuan fell for Tang Xi in front of Bing Rui, it was impossible for him to inflict a stronger mental blow than Xu Rou had done back then.

But since she has been caught, Li Xuan is not worried about where she can run to. He just asks Tan Xiang to take good care of her life.

Bingrui's attitude towards Tanxiang is much better than Li Xuan's. She seems to admire this opponent who once fought her to a defeat, and she cooperates very well whether it is eating or cleaning.

After learning that Tan Xiang was once a magical girl, he tried to persuade her to turn over a new leaf - of course this suggestion was rejected by Tan Xiang.

A week passed quickly, and Li Xuan excitedly prepared five exquisite goblets, poured the successfully brewed wine of joy into them, then released Tang Xi, who had behaved well, and called the five fallen magical girls to taste it together.

"Don't rush, don't rush. One cup per person! Everyone gets a share!" Li Xuan built a long table and chairs with stones, let the five magical girls sit side by side, and distributed cups to them one by one.

"Master, this is..." Qi Mo picked up the wine glass and asked puzzledly as she looked at the light blue liquid inside.

"This is the wine of joy. Drinking it will make you stronger. Drink it quickly, and the happy time is about to begin." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Just drink it. Would the master lie to us?" Wu Yan picked up the wine glass nonchalantly and drank it all in one gulp.

The other four magical girls followed suit and drank it. Soon, all five of them felt a powerful evil energy flowing rapidly in their bodies. Tang Xi and Tan Xiang felt only a little uncomfortable, but the three little ones from Qinghe City fell to the ground, holding their stomachs and struggling.

“Ahhh, Master, this is not good. I feel my body swelling up, as if it’s about to explode… The energy keeps pouring out, and I can’t hold it back anymore… It’s about to come out!”

Wu Yan, who drank the drink first, curled up on the ground with his arms hugged and wailed for a while. Suddenly, a light appeared all over his body, and he transformed without his own will.

As they approached, Xu Rou and Qi Mo also transformed one after another. Seeing this, Tang Xi took the initiative to step forward and said, "Master, it seems that you have taken in too much energy. Let me help suppress it."

Li Xuan nodded. It seemed that the effect of this wine was indeed too strong for the C-level magical girls. Just like people would have nosebleeds after taking too many tonics, the three magical girls also had similar side effects.

"You three, attack me now! Don't think, just pour out your magic power with all your might!" Tang Xi said as he transformed, creating more than a dozen layers of defensive barriers in front of him in one breath.

When the three magic girls heard this, they rushed towards Tang Xi with various weapons and magic. The C-level attack on Tang Xi's defensive barrier should have had little effect, but after just one round of attack, three or four layers of the barrier were directly broken.

"The energy in their bodies is rising rapidly and is almost reaching the B-level! It's terrible, but I've also become a lot stronger, so I should be able to withstand it... right?" Tang Xi's tone gradually became uncertain, because Xu Rou, who was blood-thirsty, split the two layers of barriers with one axe.

"Judge!" With Wu Yan's selfless attack, the remaining seven or eight layers of barriers were broken through in one breath. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Xuan hurriedly took action to block the attack with evil power, and then pulled Tang Xi behind him.

"This guy is too good at fighting..." Tang Xi said in shock, stroking his chest.

At this time, the three little ones who had vented a large amount of evil energy finally calmed down. Li Xuan looked at the evil energy in them again and found that it had reached the B-level level equivalent to his own.

Although the evil energy in Tang Xi and Tan Xiang has also increased a lot, it is still far from reaching a higher level. It seems that even the high-level joy wine cannot easily make up for the gap between B-level and A-level.

"Master, we feel much better - thank you Sister Tang Xi." The three little ones who had returned to normal saw Tang Xi who was frightened, and hurried forward to thank her.

"In this way, we will have five B-level fighters, which means there are six if I count them." Li Xuan was secretly happy. This way, he would be more confident when dealing with the church and Zhenshou Temple.

"You are worthy of being the master. I have been in Zhenshou Temple for so many years, but I have never seen a situation where strength is improved so quickly." Tang Xi exclaimed.

"That's right, otherwise how can I be your master?" Li Xuan said proudly.

"But this wine is so effective, why are there only five bottles prepared? Wouldn't the master like to drink some?" Tang Xi asked curiously.

"Huh? What's wrong with five? Five is not enough?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that when he was counting the heads, he was only thinking about the five people under him, and completely ignored that he was also a person, so he was not included in the first batch of upgraded wine!

"What nonsense are you talking about? The master must have drunk it a long time ago! The master is so wise and powerful, how could he not understand addition and subtraction within ten?"

Without waiting for Li Xuan to speak, Xu Rou answered Tang Xi's question for him, and the other magical girls immediately showed an expression of "I see".

"Hehe...I mean, do I need your reminder? Go and type some words for me!" Li Xuan saw that the atmosphere did not allow him to admit his mistake, so he slapped Tang Xi's drum hard and sent her to the wine cellar to type some words.

Chapter 92 Happy time is over!

"Damn, if you had written this earlier, you would have become famous!" After reading Tang Xi's update today, Li Xuan slapped his thigh, regretting that he had not caught her earlier.

During this period, he visited Tang Xi's account and announced that he would cut short the original work and start over. Although it caused an uproar for a while, after reading the latest updates, readers said it was really good. The bold decision to cut short the original work made the work a hot topic and brought in a lot of traffic.

"Hurry up and work. This is the place for your desk. The desk should be big, and the space underneath should be large enough to fit another person." Seeing that he was immersed in reading, Li Sijie had to urge him from the side.

"Why leave such a large space under the table? Shouldn't it be enough to put two legs in?" Li Xuan asked puzzledly after putting away his phone.

"How can that be? You need to reserve enough space under the desk in advance. This is the classic bottom position of a secretary's desk." After Li Sijie finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that she had just been appointed as the principal's secretary a few days ago. Her face immediately turned red, and she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

"Yes, yes, yes, how could I forget such basic common sense? And the partitions should be designed with double-sided glass, so that if I catch a close magical girl, I can put one in the partition and let her watch me press the other one on the desk..." Li Xuan continued to add details based on her thoughts.

At this time, the happy summer vacation was coming to an end, and Li Xuan's first phase of the illusory evil land project was gradually coming to an end, leaving only some tedious interior decoration work. This part of the content was not something that could be solved by space authority, and the construction waste picked up could not meet such delicate needs.

Therefore, Li Xuan planned to design only his own office and the meeting hall, and leave the other places as unfinished houses, and then decorate them according to needs later.

After finalizing the design of the office, Li Xuan looked at the time and opened the portal to send Li Sijie back.

But this time, Li Sijie did not leave immediately. Instead, she took Li Xuan's hand and said, "Mr. Li, the summer vacation will end next week. I plan to return to school early to prepare for the junior year courses. What do you think of the work here..."

"It's okay. I can handle the remaining finishing touches by myself. As for the coffee shop, I'll ask the manager to pay you as soon as possible, and you can just wear the maid outfit and leave." Li Xuan said, and suddenly thought of something. He teleported to the wine cellar and kicked Tang Xi who was slacking off. By the way, he took back two cups of the newly brewed wine of joy.

“This is wine that can increase your energy limit. Although it may not have much effect on you, let’s have a drink with it to celebrate our cooperation.” Li Xuan said as he handed a glass of wine to Li Sijie.

"Mr. Li, I want to drink the glass in your hand." Li Sijie looked at the quality of the wine and suddenly smiled cunningly.

"Why, are you still worried that I drugged you?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.

"That's hard to say. I have always trusted your character: as despicable as ever." Li Sijie said with her middle finger raised.

"What if I do the opposite and predict that you will exchange so that this is drugged in my hand?"

"That makes sense. Then let's each drink half a cup and then exchange them. This way we can ensure that the medicine is evenly distributed." Li Sijie smiled, tilted her head back to drink half a cup of wine, and then handed the remaining half to Li Xuan.

"Whatever you say, let's drink from the same cup." Li Xuan thought to himself that this guy was too defensive against him, but it would be okay for him to drink the remaining half of her wine, so he drank half of the wine in his own cup and gave it to Li Sijie, then tilted his head back and drank the half cup of wine she handed over.

However, after drinking the wine, it was Li Xuan who felt uncomfortable. He suddenly felt his body swell up and unconsciously covered his stomach: "...Hmm, something is wrong, did you drug me?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Xuan felt a strong energy gushing out of his body, which was then absorbed by the seal on his arm. However, the seal only absorbed a part of the energy this time and then stopped working, and even fed the absorbed energy back to his body. Under the attack from both inside and outside, Li Xuan seemed to have the same feeling as when he was strangled by Tang Xi's legs that day, except that this time his whole body was strangled.

"The seal is in a saturated state! Mr. Li, try to liberate your animal instincts, so that you may be able to learn 'self liberation'!" Li Sijie reminded quickly.

“Ahhhhh!!!” Li Xuan tore his shirt and roared, the evil energy in his body gushed out like a volcanic eruption, and the entire platform shook as a result.

Li Xuan thought of what the three little ones did when they upgraded that day, so he frantically created corrupted blood to consume the evil energy, and finally let the body that was about to explode vent.

However, this wave of evil energy was much ado about nothing. After a crazy surge, nothing much happened to Li Xuan.

"Is this... a failure?" Li Xuan said, looking at the blood ball as big as a blue ball above his head.

"It seems so. But you don't have to lose heart. There is a 90% chance of failure when you skip classes this way. Even with your talent, it's at least 70%." Li Sijie patted his shoulder and consoled him.

"Why is it only 70%?" Li Xuan said dissatisfiedly.

"Seventy percent is the probability of failure. The thirty percent is because you are gifted and your animal instinct is several times stronger than others." Li Sijie said with a pout.

"Well, it seems that all this time I have saved up in vain. Will there be a next time?" Li Xuan said as he looked at the pieces of socks on the ground that had been torn into pieces by the energy impact.

"Of course. As long as I am here, we can produce the materials for the seal continuously." Li Sijie smiled, took off a white suspender stocking from her leg on the spot, and tied a new seal on Li Xuan's arm.

"Since the probability is 30%, then generally speaking three or four times will be enough. I may not be free when I am in school. If you need me, you can come to see me on weekends. Well, see you later." After Li Sijie tied her stockings tightly, she left the illusory evil land with a reluctant look in her eyes.

"It's about time to go back and check on the business. The store manager has been in charge of it recently. I wonder how the business is going." Li Xuan felt a little lost as he watched Li Sijie leave, but he quickly cheered up and opened a portal to the vicinity of the coffee shop.

As soon as he returned to reality, a lot of notifications popped up on Li Xuan's phone. Li Xuan thought he was being framed because Tang Xi's original work was cut short, so when he quickly opened it, he found that they were all messages from Lilika.

Without giving it much thought, he immediately called the lovely loli mother, and the other party picked up the phone almost immediately.

"Run! Go as far as you can. We can't stay in this area any longer."

Lilika's nervous voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What happened?"

Hearing Lilika's panicked voice, Li Xuan couldn't help but ask the same question as Kamen Rider Sadamaru when he transformed.

"According to the news this morning, the Zhenshou Temple and the church have reached a compromise. Both sides will not interfere in the disappearance cases of magical girls in Qinghe and Huahe." Lilika said.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Li Xuan asked doubtfully.

"It couldn't be worse. The condition for the Zhenshou Temple's compromise is that the church will hire the notorious mercenaries: the 'Witch Band' to settle your crimes. My suggestion is to flee from here immediately. There may be a glimmer of hope."

On the other end of the phone, Lilika's tone sounded sincere, and there was no exaggeration in her words.

Chapter 93: Witch Band

"Witch Band? Is that the band I understand?" Li Xuan asked puzzledly.

"Yes, they are a band, but also a mercenary team consisting of four A-rank magical girls," Lilika summarized.

“Mr. Duo…Mr. Duo??? Four A-grade ones!!!” Li Xuan was so shocked that he almost dropped his phone on the ground.

"Yes, all four of them are A-rank. Not only that, but their behavior is also crazy. They even razed an entire neighborhood to hunt down monsters. It is said that they don't even care about the lives of their companions, so taking hostages probably won't work for them." Lilika reminded.

Li Xuan's heart sank. From Lilika's anxious tone, he knew that this time would not be as easy as before.

"Ms. Lilika, I heard that you were once an A-level magical girl. I would like to ask you to give me an intuitive description of how powerful an A-level magical girl is?" After forcing himself to calm down, Li Xuan asked.

"It's hard to say. The magic level does not completely represent the combat effectiveness. When it comes to the individual, we also have to consider the combat skills and the strength of the magic. The upper and lower limits are actually very different. For example, an A-level prayer-type may not even be able to beat a C-level combat-type unless there are special circumstances." Lilika said in embarrassment.

"What about your heyday?"

"In my heyday... I feel like the army of monsters you summoned that day could probably be wiped out within ten minutes." Lilika thought for a moment and gave her answer.

"Ten minutes... is it really that strong?"

Li Xuan frowned. He had created the monster army by himself, relying on Bing Rui's magic power and launching the Blood of Depravity eleven times. Tang Xi had just taken a look and decided to surrender. Although she was also a bad person, it was a helpless choice after she came to the conclusion that she could not win.

However, in Lilika's eyes, such a large army of monsters are just a bunch of mobs that can be dealt with in ten minutes?

Noticing Li Xuan's silence, Lilika continued, "After all, I have retired from the front line for more than ten years, so my judgment may not be accurate. But one very important point is: I did not master awakening at the beginning, and at least one of the four witches in the band can use awakening."

Li Xuan remained silent. Many plans had already emerged in his mind: sneak attack, poisoning, trap, sowing discord...

Each one seems to have a chance, but because of the disparity in strength, it will undoubtedly be like walking on thin ice when it comes to execution, and the slightest mistake will lead to a complete failure.

"I understand. Then please send me the information about these four people. I will judge on my own how to deal with them." After a long silence, Li Xuan spoke.

"I knew you would say that. I'll sort them out for you now, but I'm afraid it won't be very long. They never collaborate with anyone outside the band, so outsiders rarely know about them."
