Magical Girl? There's No Going Back Now! Chapter 10

Although they had used this position once before, that had been a life-or-death battle. How could he have had the mind to savor it properly then? Now that he had relaxed, Li Xuan realized that Wu Yan was surprisingly well-endowed too. She usually wore a tight chest binder for ease of movement, so it simply did not show from the outside. By that logic, the three sisters probably ranked Qi Mo > Wu Yan ≈ Xu Rou: one large cup, two medium cups. They were not as astonishing as Li Sijie's enormous cup size, but among girls their age, they were still enough to lord it over the rest.

Thinking of the two sisters comparing sizes face-to-face, Li Xuan could not help feeling his imagination run wild. But Xu Rou was currently staying at his place, and the conflict between her and Qi Mo had yet to be resolved. It would probably be inappropriate for them to meet now.

"Let's go to my place. I live alone, and my apartment is pretty big," Qi Mo said when she saw Li Xuan's troubled expression.

"Qi Mo, can you read minds or something? How did you guess exactly what I was thinking?" Overjoyed, Li Xuan brought the two girls back into the city and headed straight to Qi Mo's home.

Qi Mo's place really was not small. Besides two bedrooms, it even had a separate study and bathroom. She lived alone, yet every room was meticulously organized without a trace of mess, which Li Xuan found rather impressive.

"How long have you been living alone?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"Two and a half years. My aunt used to come by often to look after me, but ever since I started high school, I've been living alone," Qi Mo said as she opened the master bedroom door and methodically took bedding from the wardrobe to make the bed.

"Your family is really pretty trusting," Li Xuan said with a nod. Perhaps it was precisely her long-term independent life that made Qi Mo care so deeply about her friends, even to the point of developing twisted feelings. It was somewhat rare for a high school student to live alone, but this was not his former world after all. Basic common sense still applied, but there were many differences in the details.

"Well then, I won't disturb the master's mealtime. See you~" After making the bed, Qi Mo gave Wu Yan a suggestive look and turned to leave.

"What's the rush? You're staying too." Li Xuan extended a tentacle and shut the door with a click.

"Huh? But isn't Master going to be with Flame Dance..." Qi Mo turned around in shock. She looked at Wu Yan, whose face was flushed with springtime desire, then at Li Xuan, standing there at a loss. In her understanding, one at a time was basic common sense. Even after Demonfall, she had never considered serving her master alongside her best friend.

"What? I can't have two dishes at once? Even rice bowls come in double combos." Li Xuan grinned wickedly.

Seeing Li Xuan still teasing Qi Mo, Wu Yan could no longer endure it. The pleasure accumulated in her body by the Fallen Blood had reached an unbearable level. She simply pounced on Li Xuan and pinned him to the bed, supporting herself with her arms as she gently asked, "What kind of rice bowl does Master want? Wu Yan will make it for you."

"Of course, a yellow rose and flame flower double combo~" Li Xuan laughed as he extended a tentacle to grab Qi Mo from the doorway as well. He pulled the curtains shut, and the room was soon filled with soft, sweet cries.

Bound Blue Lily

After their bout of exertion, Li Xuan rose in satisfaction, went to the bathroom, ran hot water, and helped Qi Mo and Wu Yan clean themselves.

He could now practically confirm that the system had some hidden mana-restoration effect. After fighting all night, not only had his mostly depleted Evil Energy not run dry, it had effortlessly refilled completely.

Normally, if he waited for Evil Energy to recover naturally, it would take at least a full day and night. It seemed he would have to keep at least one magical girl by his side at all times in the future, so he could replenish his mana on the spot whenever his Evil Energy ran low.

After cleaning them up, Li Xuan poured several glasses of water to rehydrate the two slightly dehydrated beauties.

As expected of a dance major, Wu Yan recovered after drinking water and resting on the couch wrapped in a bath towel. Qi Mo, meanwhile, was still limp in Li Xuan's arms, looking utterly dazed.

"Wu Yan, go downstairs and buy us something to eat," Li Xuan said, looking at Qi Mo sprawled across his lap.

"Yes. Master really does have endless stamina. This was even more exhausting than my physical training." Wu Yan playfully stuck out her tongue, removed her bath towel, changed into her clothes, and went downstairs.

After watching Wu Yan leave, Li Xuan turned back and gave Qi Mo's rear a solid slap.

"Ow!" Qi Mo cried out in pain—she had forgotten to heal the injury on her rear.

"Don't fall asleep. I still have questions for you." As Li Xuan spoke, he extended a tentacle and secreted some painkilling mucus, slipping it beneath the hem of Qi Mo's bath towel to apply it to her rear.

"Master wants to ask about the battle plan against you this time, right?" Qi Mo raised her head and looked at Li Xuan with an innocent expression.

"You really are impossible to fool. No need for the details. I only want to know: when did you tell Wu Yan about the plan?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"When you were... spanking me." Qi Mo blushed, then continued, "Based on our previous encounters, I guessed that you probably had the ability to sense our locations. So I never mentioned the plan to Wu Yan. During my fight with you, I only deliberately expanded the range of my magical power's dispersion so Wu Yan could sense my position."

Li Xuan nodded. Qi Mo had sensed his surveillance long ago. No wonder she had been able to devise such a risky plan with that as a premise.

"It was a gamble. I used myself as bait to lure you in, while trusting that Wu Yan would rush over the instant she sensed my magical power. As for the strategy of taking you down with us, Wu Yan came up with that herself. She's the sort of person who doesn't count the cost, so I trusted that she would use that tactic. The plan was executed almost perfectly, but I never expected we still wouldn't be able to do anything to you." Qi Mo laughed at herself.

"You were willing to carry out such a dangerous plan. You really care about Xiao Rou, don't you?" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Right now, I care more about Master." Qi Mo rubbed her numb, itchy rear, leaned forward, and lightly kissed Li Xuan on the cheek.

"Wu Yan went through a lot today. Let her sleep at your place and take good care of her feelings. She doesn't say it, but she's probably still pretty bothered by the Demonfall." Li Xuan rubbed Qi Mo's hair.

"Why does Master seem to understand her even better than I do?" Qi Mo asked curiously.

"You can tell from her hairstyle. How many girls with twin tails aren't tsundere? I'm leaving first. Once you figure out how to face Xu Rou, I'll arrange for you two to meet." With Qi Mo helping him dress, Li Xuan got up and returned to his own home.

It was already midnight when Li Xuan reached his door. He found it ajar, while the inside of the apartment was pitch-black.

"What's Xu Rou doing? She didn't even lock the door." Li Xuan stepped inside, then suddenly caught a faint, lingering fragrance and frowned.

Neither he nor Xu Rou used perfume. Why was there a scent in the room?

Li Xuan secretly summoned his tentacles, turned on the light by the entrance first, then cautiously walked farther in.

"Xiao Rou, are you home? Master's back," Li Xuan called softly.

The only response was deathly silence.

Li Xuan carefully made his way into the bedroom. There was only a tangled blanket on the bed, with no sign of Xu Rou.

Li Xuan reached beneath the blanket. It was still warm, so Xu Rou had clearly only left the bed recently. Then he remembered that he had marked Xu Rou's location. When he opened the Hunting Radar, he could only see Wu Yan and Qi Mo's positions. The blue marker representing Xu Rou had vanished into thin air like money in the stock market. Even the mental channel established between Xu Rou and him after her Demonfall had been blocked by some unknown force.

Seeing this, Li Xuan was certain an intruder had come into his home. That person had silently taken Xu Rou away without leaving even the slightest sign of a fight.

Could there be other magical girls in Clear Lotus City besides those three sisters?

Li Xuan heightened his senses and cautiously listened for every sound around him. At that moment, a faint noise suddenly came from the large wardrobe.

Li Xuan hurriedly turned toward it and carefully used a tentacle to pull open the wardrobe door.

Then he was stunned by what he saw.

Xu Rou was tied up inside the wardrobe. She still wore the blue-black miniskirt from after her Demonfall, but her previously bare legs had been dressed in white garter stockings. Her long legs were tightly bound together with rope from her thighs down to her ankles, loop after loop, with a knot tied between her legs. Rope loops also secured her knees and ankles. Her upper body was bound with bright red string, countless strands woven into a net across her chest. Her breasts were cinched tightly at their bases, making them stand out prominently as though they might burst through her clothes at any moment.

The ropes around her upper and lower body converged at her navel, where two interconnected fastenings had been cleverly tied. Three more strands extended from there, winding around her waist from both sides and between her legs to her back. Her wrists were bound behind her with a thin pair of black stockings, while an apple of just the right size had been stuffed into her mouth and secured with a hairband, making it impossible for her to either spit it out or bite through it.

Beyond that, Xu Rou wore a blindfold and earplugs, amounting to a complete deprivation of her senses. Her hair had also been carefully combed and braided into countless tiny plaits, and even her pose had been adjusted into something exceptionally alluring.

Li Xuan was so shocked by the sight before him that he could not speak for a long time. Bound Xu Rou was simply too perfect. Every knot rested in an exquisitely chosen place; every mark from the rope emphasized the curves of her body; every restraint seemed to meld with her figure, becoming an inseparable work of art.

Li Xuan stared blankly at Xu Rou before him, nearly forgetting to think about why she had been tied up here.

Then the system notification snapped him awake.

Art at Last

"So close!"

Li Xuan was startled, and at the same time caught the faint body fragrance behind him. He quickly turned around and saw Li Sijie standing behind him. She wore the maid outfit Li Xuan had personally designed, with black stockings on her legs. Judging by their thickness and sheen, however, they were not the same pair she had worn when they first met.

[Magical girl locked on]

[Name: Unknown]

[Magical Power Level: Unknown]

[Type: Unknown]

[Height: Unknown]

[Cup Size: Unknown]

The system sounded again, yet aside from confirming that she was a magical girl, every other piece of information was unknown. This was the first time Li Xuan had encountered such a situation.

"Is this your work?"

Even though Li Sijie's identity was obviously more important, Li Xuan first asked what concerned him most.

"I'm touched that you're willing to call her a work. As expected of the designer of that maid outfit—you truly have tastes similar to mine." Li Sijie smiled happily, walked around Li Xuan, and gently ran both hands over every knot on Xu Rou's legs.

Since nearly all those knots pressed against Xu Rou's sensitive spots, every time Li Sijie applied pressure to one, Xu Rou's body gave a small shudder, making her look even more alluring.

"How should I put this? Your bondage work is certainly professional—honestly, it could be called art. But breaking into someone else's house, capturing his woman, and tying her up like this... isn't that a little inappropriate?" Seeing that she showed no hostility, Li Xuan's tone relaxed slightly.

"I'm sorry. When I came in, she tried to resist, so I had no choice but to bind her. But please rest assured, I've always been gentle with girls. I didn't hurt her at all. My original intention was simply to discuss cooperation with you." Li Sijie lightly lifted her skirt, bent her right leg behind her, and gave Li Xuan an elegant curtsy in apology.

"What exactly do you mean by cooperation?" Though his tone had softened, Li Xuan remained highly vigilant, prepared to fight or flee at any moment. When facing an opponent he could not see through, he never hesitated to exercise the utmost caution.

"I came here to bring you an important piece of intelligence. In exchange, I hope to get something from you." Li Sijie gave Li Xuan a flirtatious wink.

"That depends on what you want, and whether your intelligence is truly important enough."

Since Li Sijie was being vague, Li Xuan answered her with equally evasive words.

"To show my sincerity, I'll be direct. Your activities have already drawn the Church's attention. The Church will soon send two magical girls to investigate. I hope you'll handle them carefully." As she spoke, Li Sijie gathered her skirt and sat on the bed with her legs crossed.

"You're a magical girl too. Why did you come all the way here to warn me?" Li Xuan asked suspiciously.

"It's simple. The Church is hunting me, so in that regard, we have a common enemy." Li Sijie smiled mysteriously.

"They're hunting you? Magical girls fight among themselves?"

"Normally, no. But I'm an exception. Do you remember that pervert from Clear Lotus University you mentioned, the one who specialized in tying up girls?"

"I remember. You mean..."

"I'm that pervert. Following the principle that rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, I never touched the three little ones in this city. I could only kidnap teachers and classmates to satisfy my cravings. When I truly couldn't hold back, I transformed and went to other cities to tie up other magical girls for fun. One time, I accidentally tied up someone high-ranking in the Church, and now I'm wanted worldwide." Li Sijie said it with a casual smile.

Li Sijie being a pervert was already indisputable, but hearing it spoken so matter-of-factly from the mouth of an intellectual, elegant college student was still deeply shocking. At the very least, Li Xuan himself could never say something like that so righteously.

"If what I said just now is enough to convince you, I'll add more. The two magical girls are named Tan Xiang and Yun Ye. They've been partners for many years. Both are B-rank in magical power, and they pose a serious threat to you as you are now. Of course, I believe that with your no-holds-barred methods, you can still win in the end." Li Sijie stared at the tentacles Li Xuan had extended and unconsciously licked her lips.

"It sounds like you know quite a lot about me."

"That's right. My sensory ability is very strong. From the moment your Evil Energy appeared in Clear Lotus City, I noticed it. But I didn't care at the time. I merely thought you were some unusual humanoid monster. It wasn't until I started working at the café that I was shocked to discover your true body was actually human. Up to that point, that still wasn't enough for me to reveal my identity to you. But later, I discovered that you seemed capable of turning magical girls into monsters." As Li Sijie spoke, her breathing became faster and faster, and her gaze filled with seductive softness.

She rose and walked before Li Xuan, pleading in a voice full of longing, "As payment for bringing you this intelligence, could you use that method to turn me into a monster too?"

Li Xuan was secretly delighted. After going around in such a huge circle, she turned out to be a lustful woman delivering herself to his doorstep. Monsters transformed with Fallen Blood would regard him as their master. She clearly did not know that. While winning without a fight might prevent him from unlocking a CG, this was Li Sijie, whose body and temperament were both unbelievably perfect! If he could capture her, Li Xuan would dare walk through mountains of blades and seas of fire. Now that she had come to him on her own, how could he possibly refuse?

"Easy enough. We share a common enemy, so naturally we should help each other. Stay right here. I'll go get a cup from the kitchen." Leaving Xu Rou tied in the wardrobe, Li Xuan went to the kitchen, fetched a wineglass, activated Fallen Blood, and filled the glass with a sphere of blood.

"Drink this, and you can become a monster." Li Xuan returned to the bedroom and handed the glass to Li Sijie.

"Could you feed it to me? I feel that would make it more ceremonial." Li Sijie sat on the floor in a duck-sitting pose, positioning her mouth precisely level with the rim of the glass.

"You really have a lot of requirements." Though he said that, Li Xuan was overjoyed inside. He pushed his fingers between Li Sijie's rosy lips and parted her silvery teeth. Her mouth was wet, her throat occasionally making swallowing motions, and her eyes stared directly at the wineglass in Li Xuan's hand, as if she desperately craved the vivid liquid inside.

"Open wider," Li Xuan ordered.

Li Sijie obediently opened her mouth wide. The hot air from her mouth condensed into fine droplets on Li Xuan's hand. Her pink tongue tipped slightly upward, and her breathing seemed to grow more and more hurried.

Li Xuan rested the rim of the glass on her lower lip and slowly tipped it. The crimson liquid gradually filled Li Sijie's mouth. She swallowed in small mouthfuls, each one lingering briefly on her tongue as if she wanted her taste buds to fully savor the flavor of corruption.

When all two hundred milliliters of Fallen Blood had entered Li Sijie's body, her deep eyes became intoxicated. She had completely forgotten to wipe away the red traces at the corners of her lips. Faint wisps of heat gradually rose from her body, and the long hair that had been coiled behind her head had somehow come loose, falling like a waterfall over her rounded shoulders.

Her Secret Beneath Tightly Wrapped Stockings

Li Sijie gazed at Li Xuan with intoxicated eyes. Starlight seemed to shimmer in their depths, conveying endless affection and making Li Xuan's heart race as a feeling of romance rose within him.

The two gazed deeply at each other for several minutes, but Li Sijie suddenly burst out laughing. She braced one hand against the floor, stood up, patted the dust from her stockings, and winked playfully. "Your eyes are really beautiful. I almost got lost in them."

"Why does it seem like... nothing changed?" Li Xuan scratched his head. He could not sense even a trace of Evil Energy from Li Sijie—or rather, he could not sense anything at all. Li Sijie was like a hunter hiding in plain sight, concealing all her secrets beneath those tightly stretched stockings.

"There was still an effect. As you saw, I did indeed fall into a brief intoxication. But just as a drop of ink cannot turn the ocean black, that liquid was far from enough to transform me into a monster." Li Sijie sighed, and a lonely look that made one's heart ache flashed through her eyes.

"That's really a shame. At my current stage, this is all I can provide." Li Xuan could not help feeling disappointed. He had already thought about what position to use later, yet Fallen Blood had failed to produce the effect he expected.

"When you say 'at your current stage,' do you mean you'll be able to create stronger Fallen Blood in the future?" Little sparks lit up in Li Sijie's previously disappointed eyes.

"That's right. You can probably sense it too, can't you? I've become stronger than before, and Fallen Blood is becoming more effective." As Li Xuan spoke, he created a blood sphere in front of him and made it continuously shift into the embryonic forms of various monsters.

"Fallen Blood? What a wonderful name. Just as the Son of Man shed His precious blood to redeem the world, you use your own way to save lost girls. Ah... you truly are the savior I have awaited for so long. May your blood wash away the good deeds upon my body, RAmen!" Moved, Li Sijie crossed her hands over her chest, closed her eyes, and wore an expression of devout reverence.

"Enough, enough. Try speaking like a normal person. Anyway, I can't help you right now, but that doesn't mean I never will. So shouldn't you find a way to help me through this crisis too? If I die at the hands of those two magical girls, you'll have no hope left." Li Xuan did not want to watch her lose her mind any longer, so he quickly took the chance to make some demands. Li Sijie's strength was unclear for now, but since even Fallen Blood had no effect on her, she was likely far stronger than he was. If she were willing to help, dealing with two B-rank magical girls should not be difficult.

"Unfortunately, I can't attack Church personnel right outside my home. That would risk exposing my identity. Still, what you said isn't unreasonable..." Li Sijie pondered for a moment, then plopped back onto the bed. With a faint blush on her cheeks, she said, "Please turn around. Until I say you may, you absolutely must not turn back."

"Fine, I promise." Li Xuan turned around as instructed, though he had already decided to find out exactly what Li Sijie was up to.

Before long, there was a rustling sound behind him, like clothing rubbing together. Li Xuan seized the opportunity and turned back, only to see...

Nothing had happened. Li Sijie was simply smiling at him. The noise had merely been her hand rubbing against the bedsheet.

"I knew you'd peek. Fine, consider this a little benefit for you, a gesture of sincerity for our cooperation." Li Sijie reached beneath her maid outfit and slowly rolled the stocking down her right leg from the top of her thigh with both hands. The quality of her stockings was obviously excellent, the material incredibly smooth, and it slid down to her calf in an instant.

Li Sijie took a moment to press down her skirt to keep the enticing sight beneath it from being exposed. Only then did she pinch the stocking at her toes with one hand and carefully remove it while swaying it from side to side, revealing an entire long leg with graceful curves and lush beauty.

Just as Li Xuan feasted his eyes on that exquisite leg—one good enough to play with for a lifetime—the system notification suddenly updated.
