Evil Witch Saves the World

In the evening, within a massive mansion, in a room filled with a girlish atmosphere, a blue-haired girl lay sleeping on the bed. Beside the bed sat a white-haired girl hugging a doll, silently lost in thought.

"Ugh..." Heer, lying on the bed, let out a painful moan, which immediately startled Bai An'an.

"Hmm? You're awake?"

Bai An'an quickly stood up from her chair, approached Heer anxiously, and hugged her doll tighter.

After an entire afternoon, she had almost thought this older sister had been strangled to death by Bai Xuerou. Fortunately, she finally showed signs of life.

For Bai An'an, this older sister named Heer was the first outsider she had met since arriving at this mansion, apart from Bai Xuerou and Sister Yan. Something inside drove her to not want this older sister to die.

It wasn't just curiosity, but also because this older sister might be the key to her escaping from Bai Xuerou and returning to Gu Xue's side.

After all, she had heard this older sister constantly shouting about being some "Level Two Magician" or something, which sounded impressive. Although she apparently couldn't defeat Bai Xuerou, in Bai An'an's eyes, Heer had already become her hope.

In the Little Red Riding Hood story, to kill the frightening wolf grandmother, you needed a hunter with a gun to help. And Heer was the hunter in Bai An'an's heart.

"Ugh... so dry... water... is there any water?"

Heer wearily opened her blue eyes, her voice coming out dry and hoarse like rotting wood. It seemed Bai Xuerou had truly tried to kill her when she had grabbed her by the throat earlier.

"Water? Sure, I'll get you some!"

Although Heer's voice was raspy and unclear, Bai An'an guessed her meaning and quickly ran out of the room. She went downstairs to get the cup Bai Xuerou had prepared for her, filled it halfway with water from the kettle, then hurried back upstairs.

However, just as she reached the second floor, she saw Bai Xuerou emerging from the room at the end of the hallway—the one with photos of her and another older sister. Because of the lighting, she couldn't clearly see the witch's face or expression, only that she was walking toward her step by step.

Seeing this, Bai An'an's heart suddenly tightened, her legs weakened, and her whole body suddenly fell, performing an impromptu tumble for Bai Xuerou who was walking toward her.

Bai An'an felt the dangerous presence approaching quickly. She wanted to get up fast, but for some reason, her body wouldn't stop trembling, and her mind went blank.

She knew she shouldn't be like this in front of Bai Xuerou... but why... couldn't she control it?

Bai An'an was nearly in tears from anxiety, but even as Bai Xuerou's black high heels with red soles reached her, she still couldn't stand up. She could only sit on the floor like a duck, holding the cup that now contained only half the water.

"How careless. You've gotten your clothes all wet."

Bai Xuerou frowned slightly, placed her hands under Bai An'an's armpits, and lifted her up.

Now Bai An'an's pure white lolita dress and white stockings were wrinkled from the spilled water, but combined with her dazed and pitiful face, it evoked sympathy.

Seeing her wet daughter, Bai Xuerou's furrowed brow transformed into a smile, a hint of desire flashing in her eyes as she suddenly picked up Bai An'an.

"Come, mother will take you to change clothes."

"Ah... hmm? No, wait!" Bai An'an's mind was blank and she nearly nodded, but suddenly remembered someone was waiting for her in her room. She quickly pushed against Bai Xuerou, forcing her to put her down.

Seeing Bai An'an being so disobedient again, Bai Xuerou's smile instantly vanished.

"Um... I have something to do first, I need to..."

"It's that girl called Heer, isn't it?" Without waiting for Bai An'an to finish, Bai Xuerou guessed that Heer had awakened.

The thought that her most beloved person was pushing her away for an outsider brought back memories that made her very unhappy.

"Y-yes, Sister Heer just woke up and wants water, so I need to bring her some..."

"Change your clothes first. Besides, bringing water to a maid isn't something a mistress should do. I'll have Yan bring her water later."

Bai Xuerou persisted, her tone revealing dissatisfaction compared to her earlier gentleness.

On a normal day, Bai An'an might have given in, but now she was fighting for someone else—how could she back down?

Bai An'an refused Bai Xuerou.

"No, mother. I'm afraid you and Sister Yan might frighten her. I'd better go."@@novelbin@@

With that, Bai An'an quickly ran into her room, leaving Bai Xuerou standing alone in the hallway.

Bai Xuerou took a deep breath, seemingly suppressing her feelings. After a moment, she spoke to the air.

"Yan, go prepare the clothes for that girl to wear."

Surprisingly, as soon as Bai Xuerou finished speaking, Yan's voice came from somewhere unknown.

"Xuerou, are you sure about this? Not only creating a new Bai Yeye but also another Bai Xuerou..."

"No, a new me won't appear. Because the moment Yeye returns, I'll kill her. I won't allow Yeye to set eyes on anyone else again."

"...Alright, I'll prepare the clothes."

"Big sister, I've brought your water..."

Finally back in the room, Bai An'an handed the water to Heer and breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

Just now, while talking to Bai Xuerou, her heart had nearly pounded out of her chest.

After all, though she and Bai Xuerou were mother and daughter, Bai Xuerou was ultimately a witch. Who knew if witches' moral values were the same as humans'? If she made her angry enough, Bai An'an wouldn't be surprised if she killed her own daughter.

As soon as Heer received the water from Bai An'an, she drank it down like someone who had been trapped in a desert for decades. Since half the water had been spilled, she finished it in seconds.

Heer wiped the corner of her mouth, looked at the cup, then at the little beauty watching her.

"Hey, why so little water? And I waited so long for you."

Heer now harbored resentment toward Bai An'an because of Bai Xuerou, so her tone wasn't particularly pleasant. Although her voice was no longer hoarse thanks to the water, she still asked Bai An'an angrily.

Being naturally timid, Bai An'an lowered her head in shame when Heer shouted at her.

"Well, it's because my mother..."

"Mother? Your mother is that Red Moon Witch?" Heer's eyebrows furrowed as she suddenly asked Bai An'an.

Bai An'an nodded, confirming this point.

"That person actually has a child? Isn't she like the Academy Principal, in love with another witch?"

Heer muttered softly. What Bai An'an had just said seemed to overturn her understanding of Bai Xuerou. But before she could finish her thought, a white-haired, red-eyed older sister in a black and white maid outfit pushed open the door and entered the room.

Yan was holding a black nun-like bodysuit in one hand and a water pitcher in the other. She placed the pitcher on the bedside table and threw the outfit directly onto Heer's head.

"Heer, Level Two Magician of the Carlos Court, age fourteen, second daughter of the Auros family. From now on, those identities will be stripped away. You are now merely Young Lady Bai An'an's exclusive maid. Understand?"

Yan spoke coldly to Heer, her tone completely different from before—no warmth, only coldness.

However, when she turned her gaze toward Bai An'an, she seemed to suddenly transform into a different person, instantly becoming gentle.

"Young lady, from now on she will be your exclusive maid. You can command her as you wish. If she refuses, you can tell me or the mistress. I'll take my leave now."

With that, Yan left the room, closing the door behind her, leaving only Bai An'an and Heer.

Heer unfolded the bodysuit and examined it carefully, her cheeks instantly turning red. When she looked at Bai An'an, dressed like a princess, her eyes filled with disgust.

"What are you looking at? You really want me to be your maid and wear this? I'm telling you, no way!"

"Um... I didn't..."

BANG—

Before Bai An'an could explain, the recently closed door opened again, and Yan walked in, heading straight for Heer on the bed.

"Young lady, please step outside for a moment. This won't take long."

"Ah..."

Bai An'an saw Yan pull down Heer's clothes and immediately understood what was about to happen. Blushing, she quickly ran out the door.

Soon after, she heard strange sounds from the room.

"Mmph! Let go of me! I refuse to wear this outfit!"

"Ugh, stop, you're too rough! The clothes are too tight—I can't put them on!"

"Aah! Alright, alright, I'll wear it myself. I don't need your help!"
