The Hero Who Became a Monster Girl Will Never Fall to Evil Vol 2. Chapter 232: The Wisdom of a Slime

It wasn’t that she had slept for three days and three nights without waking.

In fact, Vieya woke up after just one night. The remaining ti was spent communicating with the wife-egg—questioning why it could sotis speak and sotis not, asking what exactly the imprint on her body was, asking whether the ten seconds of invincibility would happen again next ti...

In short, there were many, many things and questions.

Over those days and nights, she asked Flaviel about everything. Although each reply took Flaviel a full twelve hours to squeeze out, it wasn’t completely without gain.

Aside from that, the sli also noticed an abnormality in herself—her maximum magic capacity had inexplicably been reduced by half.

No need to think about it. This was definitely the dog Demon King’s doing.

‘Damn evil dragon. Reviving and you still have to take half my magic.’

‘But co to think of it, Flaviel is starting over from zero now. When she finally cos out, will she end up even smaller than Jasmine—a little larva? How annoying. If she’s too small, I can’t even make a move... sigh.’

‘Don’t tell I have to raise my wife all over again? If my daughter sees hugging and kissing a loli who’s even smaller than her, will she think I’m so perverted lolicon? What about the dignified image I’ve maintained all these years—am I just throwing it away...? Sigh, well, what’s done is done. I’ll just take it one step at a ti.’

With that thought, Vieya imdiately waved for the maid to co help her move around. After lying in bed for three days, even a soft sli couldn’t help but stiffen up.

Half an hour later.

With her vitality restored, the sli girl no longer needed the maid’s support and could move freely. She even did a set of morning exercises.

“By the way, Jasmine—why couldn’t I find you that day when I went looking? Where did you run off to?”

“I’m sorry for making you worry, Mom!” Jasmine said nervously. “Fish-sis took to hide in the basent.”

“I see. Then it’s fine.”

Vieya rubbed her daughter’s head. After straightening her clothes, she followed Isabelle’s guidance to Dorothy’s sickroom.

Along the way, she saw devastated land everywhere. Even though the elves were a special race skilled at restoring nature, land that had been swept once by raging flas wasn’t sothing that could be repaired overnight.

Those invaders were truly despicable.

Vieya fell silent inwardly and knocked on the door to Dorothy’s room.

Knock knock knock!

“Who is it?”

“It’s .”

“Uh... please co in. The door isn’t locked.”

Vieya pushed the door open. The once lively, energetic Phoenix now looked listless, like a soaked chicken.

Her gaze paused for a mont before shifting to the Elven Queen lying on the bed.

‘As expected, she collapsed... I sensed the lingering issues on her the first ti we t. She’d been forcing herself all this ti, and now everything finally broke down. I don’t even know whether my dog-horse Authority can have any healing effect on her.’

Vieya wasn’t very confident.

She had tried using her own Authority before to help regulate her daughter’s condition, but the result had °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° been nothing—no effect, no clues.

“Oh, you’re awake.” Phoenix scratched his ssy hair awkwardly. “Sorry, I didn’t even bring you any fruit. Do you want so water? I’ll pour you so.”

“Mm, thanks. Can I take a look at her condition?” Vieya asked.

“...Sure.” Phoenix lowered his voice. “There are a lot of injured elves lately, and we don’t have enough healer elves. Besides, A-Le’s problems are all old ones.”

“Mm.”

Vieya nodded, sat by the bedside, and took Dorothy’s pale wrist that lay outside the blanket, beginning her examination.

Nearby, Jasmine and Phoenix both looked curious and couldn’t help exchanging glances, their looks clearly asking one another—

‘Your mom knows dicine too?’

‘You actually dare let your mom, a veterinarian, treat an elf?’

“Mm. Her old injuries and so hidden ailnts aren’t actually the main problem, are they?” Vieya turned her head to Phoenix, paused, then continued. “The key issue is that she’s been cursed.”

“Mm.”

Phoenix nodded, handing the cup of water to the sli girl as he slowly explained,

“That curse was left back when we fought those two black dragons years ago. The elves have always been helpless against it. I’ve looked everywhere, but never found a way to resolve or dispel it.”

“This is sothing called the 【Dragonblood Curse】.”

Vieya withdrew her hand, tucking Dorothy’s wrist back under the covers, then looked at everyone.

“Ever since pure-blood dragons fell into the Abyss, their bloodlines naturally carry curses from the Abyss. Strictly speaking, this isn’t truly a curse, but a kind of mutated enhancent. That’s why it can’t be removed or purified.”

“A mutated enhancent?”

At that mont, Aislin’s voice ca from the doorway. She first stared blankly at Vieya, then brought the conversation back on track.

“I was about to visit you next door, but the physician said you were already lively enough to be discharged. So I ca here instead. Um... could you explain the 【Dragonblood Curse】 in more detail? I want to—at least—try to grasp a bit of hope.”

Vieya nodded. “The 【Dragonblood Curse】 was originally a blessing spell, similar to vampirism, that could grant dragon bloodlines to other beings. But after being tainted by the Abyss, that blessing spell turned into a curse. The principle is this: if monsters receive it, it remains a supre blessing—but for any being outside the monster category, receiving it becos an irreversible curse.”

“Then... what should I do?” Phoenix asked blankly.

“There is a way to save her.” Vieya put her hands on her hips proudly. “You just need to find a Demon King to bestow a blessing. The Demon King’s power will then cover the 【Dragonblood Curse】, and Dorothy will imdiately regain her vitality.”

“Will that work?” Phoenix was both excited and uneasy.

Aislin didn’t hold much hope. “Where would we even find a Demon King willing to cooperate? Unless...”

As she thought, she turned her gaze toward the maid standing to the side, her tone shifting slightly. “There is a Demon King right here! I almost forgot...”

“It’s her, it’s her, that’s the one!”

“Sorry.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Isabelle lowered her head shyly. “Blessings like that are too difficult for . How about I just cut off a bit of my tail at and feed it to her?”

As she spoke, she looked carefully at Vieya. “Master?”

“Let’s try it—wait, no!” Vieya suddenly beca alert and turned to Jasmine. “What soup did I drink when I woke up earlier?”

“Fish soup,” Jasmine answered imdiately. “It was tasty.”

“Where did the fish at co from?” Vieya asked.

“Fish-sis... uh.” Jasmine’s face changed as if she’d realized sothing. She suddenly dropped to the ground and retched violently.

“Eh—eh—eh?”

Isabelle panicked, trying to help Jasmine up while also wanting to explain to her master, her expression flustered.

“That at was very clean... it’s good for the body... no side effects at all... did I do sothing wrong, Master?”

The maid replied timidly, her azure eyes filling with panic. She didn’t understand why her master disliked it—after all, the at from her tail was sothing monsters, humans, and other races all coveted imnsely.

“Don’t do that again next ti.”

Vieya rubbed her forehead and sighed, lifting her tearful, retching daughter into her arms and comforting her. “Just think of it as eating a bit of Tang Monk at. It’s fine.”

“Ugh, ugh...” Jasmine was still retching. It was also at this mont that she developed a terrifying psychological shadow toward the maid worth two hundred million gold coins—bringing back mories of the dark tis of her early childhood in the Demon King Castle.

“Mom, I’ll never eat fish again!”

“Alright.”

Vieya held her daughter helplessly, then looked again at the oddly staring Aislin and explained,

“You know, I have other maids at ho. I’ll have them co over later. Of course, if you want to try rmaid at, I don’t mind either.”

“rmaid at?” Aislin waved her hands repeatedly. “No, no. I’m an elf—I don’t usually eat much at. Um, and I really, really thank you!”

“It’s nothing.” Vieya squinted her big eyes into a smile. “We’re good friends.”
