Evil Witch Saves the World

Chapter 4: The Red Moon Witch



Shortly after White Xurou left with White An'an, a black sedan arrived, and five tall men in suits got out. They were carrying five black boxes.

"This is from Lady White Xurou after completing the mission. Please accept it," one of the men approached the director, opened the black box in his hand, which was filled with red banknotes. The other four boxes were the same.

This sight stunned Gu Xue, who had just been saying goodbye to her dear sister.

She looked at her mother and noticed that her mother showed no signs of shock. Logically, an ordinary orphanage worker wouldn't remain unmoved at the sight of so much money.

There could only be one truth: her mother knew about this all along.

Plus, the way this man in black addressed that big sister...

Could it be...?

Gu Xue's eyes widened suddenly.

"Besides this, your orphanage will be contacted by an educational institution in a few days. Please watch for the call..."

"Wait!" Before the man in black could finish, Gu Xue, trembling and frowning, cried out to the others in distress, "Mom, Director, did you... did you sell An'an?!"

Although Gu Xue was only ten years old, she knew well that free lunches don't exist. Her sister had just left, and now all this money had arrived—there had to be a connection.

Moreover, these people had directly mentioned White An'an's mother's name.

"Little girl, you can take medicine recklessly, but you shouldn't speak recklessly. We adults are rewarding you for raising the young miss for six years, not buying or selling. Soon, your other brothers and sisters will also have schools to attend. By rights, you should be thanking Lady White Xurou for her generosity."

"Ah yes, yes, yes, thank you, brothers. Xue'er, quickly apologize to them."

"I..."

Gu Xue wanted to say more, but the next second, she was picked up by her mother and rushed inside.

"Then, you must protect An'an well. Otherwise, I will take revenge on you!" In her urgency, Gu Xue couldn't think of anything else to say, so she used a threatening tone to warn the five men in black.

The five men just sighed and then turned to leave the orphanage.

As soon as they walked out of the orphanage, one of the men sensed danger and said to the man walking in front, "Boss, people from the 'Courtyard' are here."

"Sigh, we still couldn't escape in the end?" The man in front took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smiled helplessly.

"Sorry, child, we won't be able to protect your sister anymore."

The man smiled, and then a red moon appeared on their foreheads.

"Brothers, for the Witch Lady!"

"For the Witch Lady!"

As the five men shouted in unison, the red moon grew increasingly crimson until, at a certain point, the whole world suddenly turned red for an instant. But it was only for that moment, and then the world returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Except that five people were missing.

"Tsk, one step too late again."

At the spot where the five men had disappeared, a girl wearing a peculiar outfit with twin pigtails and a lollipop in her mouth descended from the sky.

She crushed the lollipop in her mouth and angrily took out her phone from her pocket to make a call.

"Hello, it's me, Tang Le. We're late again. The Red Moon Witch's followers have disappeared again."

"Sigh, this time the Red Moon Witch even took an unawakened young witch. It seems many more people will die in the future."

A gentle, mature female voice unlike Tang Le's loli voice came from the phone, immediately suggesting that the person on the other end was definitely a gentle big sister type.

"What can we do? The Red Moon Witch is on the same level as the School Principal. It's normal that I can't catch her, right?"@@novelbin@@

"Alright, alright, come back first. We need to keep a constant watch on the Red Moon Witch's movements."

"Hmm, hmm? Strange, why is it raining all of a sudden?"

The sky, which had been sunny just moments ago, suddenly darkened, and the light rain dripped onto Tang Le's delicate, fair skin, causing the girl to show a pained expression.

"Ugh... I hate rain the most. Gotta go, gotta go."


Rainy day, elevated highway, a speeding Rolls-Royce.

As the rain fell harder, White An'an finally could no longer see the scenery outside. She obediently sat back in her seat and looked at her mother's profile as she drove.

Well, this counts as scenery too, right?

White An'an thought to herself, tilting her body to the side again, trying to get a clearer view of her mother's face. Little did she know that White Xurou had already seen her every comical movement through the car's rearview mirror.

White Xurou couldn't help but smile.

"An'an, why do you keep looking at me?"

"Uh!" Having rarely ridden in cars since she was little, White An'an didn't know how White Xurou had spotted her. Blushing after being caught in her sneaky glances, she answered.

"Because I think mom is so beautiful..."

This wasn't just White An'an trying to flatter White Xurou. She meant it. In her two lifetimes, White Xurou was practically an angel, far surpassing other women.

"Hehehe... Don't worry, when An'an grows up, you'll be even more beautiful than mom."

"Really?" Hearing White Xurou say this, White An'an said happily. Although she was once a man, now she was a little girl, and being complimented by a beauty would naturally make her happy.

Also, hearing her mother say this, White An'an guessed that her father must be very handsome too!

"Of course. How could I lie to my precious daughter?"

"Is father also very handsome?"

White An'an blurted out, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw White Xurou's smile, which had just appeared, suddenly drop. She didn't look very happy.

Whether it was psychological or not, White An'an felt the temperature in the car drop by several degrees.

"What's wrong, mom?"

"Nothing. Speaking of which, driving for so long, An'an must be tired too? Why don't you take a nap first, and when you wake up, we'll be home."

"No need, I'm not sleepy yet. I still want to remember the route from home to the orphanage so I can go back to see Xue'er..."

"You're really not being good. I said you're tired, so you are tired. Don't disobey mother, okay?"

As White An'an was still speaking, White Xurou snapped her fingers, and a red thread directly flew into White An'an's forehead.

"Ugh... strange, suddenly so sleepy..."

White An'an held her forehead, trying desperately to stay awake, but for some reason, her consciousness was dissipating uncontrollably. Soon, she lost control of her body and collapsed onto the comfortable car seat.

Seeing that White An'an had fallen asleep, White Xurou took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Yan, the White Night Witch has been found. When the time comes, don't forget our plan."

"Okay."

 

The other side coldly replied with just one word, then cut off the call.
