Chapter 7: I Just Want an Obedient and Adorable Daughter
Fear... Pain... Despair... And betrayal from her mother.
These negative emotions continuously swirled in Bai An'an's heart, tormenting her spirit. Even though she felt she was awake, why was everything before her eyes still black?
Outside, Bai An'an, who had been carried back to her room, was expressionless. The rose in her mouth had long disappeared, and her once-sparkling pupils were now dim, like a doll being dressed in a pure white dress by Bai Xuerou.
This scene appeared like a mother dressing her daughter—seemingly warm, yet with a hint of strangeness and dissonance.
After dressing her, Bai Xuerou picked up a hair dryer to dry her daughter's wet hair, then applied something sticky to her daughter's cute face.
As her skin gradually absorbed the substance, Bai An'an's sense of touch told her that her mother's fingers seemed to have become much smoother. But soon she realized it wasn't her mother's fingers that had become smoother—it was her own skin.
"Hmm, that's about right. Finally, there's a bit of her shadow..." Bai Xuerou looked at her carefully groomed daughter and nodded with satisfaction.
What shadow? What have I become?
Bai An'an's inner fear grew even more, reaching its peak with Bai Xuerou's next words.
"Yan, bring the things over."
"Yes."
"Click—"
The door opened, and the maid entered carrying a black box. After setting it down, she left the room.
"Well... now daughter, please bear with the pain of the injection. Otherwise, you'll suffer more later."
Bai Xuerou took out a needle from the black box, squirted some liquid out, and then pierced it into Bai An'an's shoulder.
As the sharp object entered her body, injecting some unknown substance, Bai An'an wanted to resist in terror, but her body, which had already been tampered with, had no ability to resist. She could only let Bai Xuerou do as she pleased.
Just after Bai An'an had been injected, she felt her consciousness beginning to fade again. But just as she was about to lose consciousness, she felt an electric current run through her body.
"Guwu?!"
The pain of being pierced by electricity made even her unconscious body involuntarily emit a muffled groan of pain, not to mention her already fragile spirit.
"Oh, I think the force was a bit too strong. Sorry, I'll be gentler next time."
Red lightning danced at Bai Xuerou's fingertips, her expression full of malicious amusement. Though her words were apologetic, her actions didn't slow down at all.@@novelbin@@
Another red lightning bolt penetrated Bai An'an's entire body from her lower abdomen. Bai An'an felt as if every cell and bone in her body had been electrocuted, and she again made a painful sound.
It hurts so much... What is she doing to my body? It's so painful. Is she really my mother?
Bai An'an's fear of Bai Xuerou had reached its limit. Countless times, she wished she could just die, because by now, she felt that living was worse than death.
After being electrocuted who knows how many times, Bai Xuerou finally stopped the torture. She gently stroked Bai An'an's cheek, her eyes revealing satisfaction.
"Good, just a few more times, and it should be done."
What... a few more times?
Hearing these words, if she had control over her body, Bai An'an would probably have been scared to the point of incontinence. In her eyes now, Bai Xuerou no longer resembled a mother at all—she was completely a demon!
"Alright, An'an must be tired now. Goodnight, my precious daughter."
Bai Xuerou tucked Bai An'an under the covers, gently kissed her daughter's forehead, and then left the room satisfied. But just afterward, Bai An'an, still in pain, heard the door open again. She then felt something heavy climb onto her bed and embrace her.
Sister Yan?!
Smelling the familiar scent, Bai An'an quickly recognized who was holding her. Bai Xuerou smelled of roses, while the maid sister had a carnation fragrance—very easy to distinguish.
Initially, when she realized it wasn't Bai Xuerou, Bai An'an was about to relax her guard. But then she remembered that this maid sister had also helped Bai Xuerou, and she became alert again.
The maid seemed to sense what Bai An'an was thinking. She hugged Bai An'an tighter and extended her hand to comfort the little one in her arms.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I will always be with you..."
The maid kept murmuring to Bai An'an, but to Bai An'an, it seemed like she was apologizing to her master, making her heart increasingly irritated.
As the pain gradually subsided, and given that the maid, like Bai Xuerou, had a perfect figure, the exhausted Bai An'an soon fell into dreamland again.
A dreamless night.
When Bai An'an woke up again, the maid who had been by her side was long gone.
Bai An'an looked blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling, then turned to see the just-rising sun, feeling that everything was unreal.
She was actually still alive.
The pain she had experienced last night—how could she forget? Just thinking about everything that had happened yesterday made Bai An'an burst into tears.
Being taken away by a strange older sister, leaving the person she loved most, originally thinking she might get a normal, happy life like other children, only for reality to play a cruel joke on her.
Her mother was a terrifying witch, not a human at all!
Even a smart person would break down in this situation, let alone a six-year-old girl with little knowledge.
Now Bai An'an blamed herself for being too naive, for believing there were no supernatural beings in this world. She had been reborn, yet still viewed this world as one without ghosts and monsters.
"Wuu... Oh right, my body..."
As she cried, Bai An'an suddenly remembered that Bai Xuerou had injected her with something unknown yesterday. She hurried to the full-length mirror, wanting to know what had happened to her body.
But when she saw herself in the mirror, she was stunned.
Her originally all-black beautiful hair now had several white strands. The red in her eyes had become much duller. Her once-standard yellow skin tone of an Asian person had become much whiter than before, and it was soft and smooth.
And the pure white dress with lace trim she wore—Bai An'an almost didn't recognize that this little beauty was herself.
"An'an, what are you looking at? Are you admiring the way Mommy dressed you up? I didn't expect you to be so narcissistic~"
Just as Bai An'an was examining her body, a voice that terrified her came from behind. She was so frightened that she fell backward. The tears she had just managed to hold back suddenly burst forth again.
At this moment, Bai Xuerou was leaning against the doorframe, looking tenderly at her daughter.
"You... stay away from me!"
This time, Bai An'an didn't call Bai Xuerou "Mommy." Frightened, she tried to crawl under the bed.
But just as she moved, Bai Xuerou appeared before her out of nowhere and picked up the small girl.
"Why is An'an so impolite today? You're not even calling me Mommy anymore. Are you still upset about what I did to you yesterday?"
Bai Xuerou showed a look of incomprehension and asked with confusion. But Bai An'an didn't answer, only continued sobbing.
How could she say anything? This woman was a witch, a monster who could torture her to death at any moment.
"Really now, I did those things only because I want an obedient and adorable daughter. Don't be angry, okay? Come on, let's go eat."
Bai Xuerou paid no attention to Bai An'an's attitude, talking to herself, and then carried Bai An'an downstairs.
What do you think?
