Evil Witch Saves the World

Chapter 6: Mother is a Witch

The three of them gathered around the dining table, and with the warm-toned lighting, this enormous mansion felt much cozier.

For Bai An'an, who had never really eaten good food before, she had been busy eating ever since she invited the maid to join them at the table.

Beside her, Bai Xuerou was happily placing food into Bai An'an's bowl, quickly adding more meat whenever a piece was gone, afraid that her daughter might go hungry. Because of this continuous feeding, Bai An'an eventually couldn't eat anymore, her cheeks stuffed with meat like a little hamster.

As for the maid whom Bai An'an had invited to the table, she would only take a few bites after watching Bai Xuerou's movements, afraid that any misstep might displease her mistress.

And when she looked at Bai An'an, her eyes were filled with guilt.

After dinner, Bai Xuerou walked over to Bai An'an, picked her up, and carried her to the huge sofa. Then she called out to the maid who was clearing the dishes.

"Yan, put on a movie for me and An'an, the one I used to love watching."

Upon hearing this, the maid's body trembled slightly. She put the dishes on the table and went to the TV, opening the cabinet below. The cabinet contained all sorts of discs, but only she knew that these discs were all more or less the same.

She took out a disc and inserted it.

Although the large TV had an LCD screen and a set-top box, that device had long gathered dust, apparently because Bai Xuerou preferred watching discs.

Bai An'an hadn't watched much TV before, so even though they were using discs, she found it very high-tech and couldn't help but start watching the movie attentively.

Bai An'an nestled in her mother's arms, watching the movie with great interest, while Bai Xuerou watched her daughter's various reactions.

She already knew the movie's content by heart; she just wanted to see what her daughter would think of it.@@@@

Bai Xuerou's rose fragrance was pleasant, and because of her proportionate figure—full where it should be full, slim where it should be slim—she naturally became Bai An'an's perfect seat.

The movie playing was called "The Witch and the Nun," telling a simple story about a nun constrained by family rules who, during a journey home in medieval Europe, encounters a free-spirited white-haired witch, and what happens afterward.

In the end, the nun is falsely accused of witchcraft for associating with the witch and is sentenced to death by burning. The witch, driven mad by her dear friend's death, kills everyone who had framed the nun, and then commits suicide to join her friend in the afterlife.

Seeing the witch and nun die in a field of red roses, Bai An'an couldn't help but shed tears.

She wasn't a child; she understood this kind of movie.

"An'an, what did you think of the movie?" Bai Xuerou stroked Bai An'an's head, patting her small back and comforting her softly.

Unable to resist her mother, Bai An'an had no choice but to surrender and let Bai Xuerou place her in the bathtub. As time passed, under Bai Xuerou's skilled touch, Bai An'an gradually lost her resistance and relaxed.

Just then, Bai An'an suddenly remembered an important question and couldn't help but ask her mother behind her.

"By the way, Mom, you said you'd explain why you abandoned me when I was just born after we got home. And it's been so long now, why haven't I seen Dad?"

Just as Bai An'an asked these questions, she heard her mother sigh, then lift her out of the tub and place her in front of the mirror.

"Why, An'an, do you have to bring up topics I don't like? As my daughter, shouldn't you learn to be considerate of your mother?"

Bai Xuerou said coldly. Bai An'an immediately felt the temperature drop by a few degrees, just like in the car. Especially now that she was completely naked, she could feel it more directly.

But before Bai An'an could realize what was happening, she saw that the bathtub, which had been filled with water, was now full of red liquid, and the faucet in front of her had been turned on, flowing with a liquid similar to blood.

"Mom... what's going on... mmph!"

Before Bai An'an could finish, she saw through the mirror that her little mouth was stuffed with a rose, while the flower on her mother's head had disappeared.

What's happening? Is Mom feeding me a flower?

Bai An'an couldn't help but wonder. The rose in her mouth emitted a floral fragrance, and her mouth tasted sweet, which was quite nice.

But after that, Bai An'an never thought that way again. She discovered in horror that her tongue had been pierced by the rose, and then it became numb. Later, this numbness spread throughout her body, causing her to completely lose control of it.

In the mirror, she saw an even more terrifying sight: the rose's roots emerging from the corners of her mouth, while her mother behind her had changed into a dress of red, orange, black, and yellow, with a pointed red hat on her head.

Just like the witch from the movie she had just watched...

"Since An'an wants to know the answer so badly, I'll tell you. Your mother, me, is a witch. And you don't have a father, only a mother..."

Before Bai An'an could despair, Bai Xuerou said these words, and then she watched as her body was carried away by Bai Xuerou.

How terrifying... Am I going to die again? My mother... is actually a witch?!

Bai An'an shed tears before her consciousness faded again.

So, all those warm scenes from before were all fake...
