I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family - Chapter 859 - 740: New Book Released, Turtle Girl Strives to Improve Herself

Chapter 859: Chapter 740: New Book Released, Turtle Girl Strives to Improve Herself

That’s why she didn’t dare to glance at Bai Zhi; she returned merely for revenge,

Her life was so painful, she might as well drag them all down to Hell with her.

“I didn’t, Xiao Jiu’s mother loves you. Mother truly feels sorry for you.”

Bai Wei’s face was pale, seeing Xiao Jiu’s gaze transform from gentleness to fear, terror.

She looked fearfully at the little girl in front of her, once wishing countless times for her to get better.

No, did she really hope for that?

Not really, she only hoped Xiao Jiu could always help her.

“Since mom loves me, can’t you suffer in my place? You know very well how painful each transformation into a half-demon is for me.”

Xiao Jiu’s eyes grew increasingly hollow, filled entirely with hatred.

She hurt so much, calling out to mom every time, but mom would always say she felt sorry and that things would get better. But what happened?

What followed were more and more instances of exploitation.

“You really feel sorry for me? Then suffer in my place once.”

Xiao Jiu reached out, grabbing Bai Wei’s hand.

The moment she was grabbed, Bai Wei felt a stabbing pain, like knives piercing through her body again and again, every minute, every second.

“I can understand the Empress Dowager; I’m just her granddaughter, so her dislike doesn’t matter.

I can also understand that man; since he never treated me as a daughter, I don’t care about them either.

But you are different!”

Xiao Jiu looked desperately at the woman in front of her; she too was once a half-demon. Later, she manipulated herself to become a demon.

How old was she the first time? Not even a hundred days, right?

How strange, she could still remember.

She remembered how much it hurt that day. But she wasn’t afraid, not at all, willing to do it for mom.

But later what happened?

Strangers could transform through her, initially she could see mom’s guilt-ridden look, but eventually, even the guilt disappeared.

She seemed numb.

“Does mom hurt?”

Xiao Jiu watched Bai Wei curl up in pain on the ground, and with a wave of her hand, the Empress Dowager too began to struggle in agony, wishing the pain could stop even for a second.

“Help me…”

“Help me…”

The two of them could no longer speak due to the pain, only reaching out hopelessly towards Bai Zhi.

Xiao Jiu was too afraid to look back; she couldn’t let Sister Zhi see her in such a terrifying state.

She sensed Sister Zhi had already walked over to her.

What to do, what to do.

Instinctively she wanted to run, though unwillingly, yet…

The next moment she was embraced.

How warm the embrace felt.

“Sister, don’t hug me, I’m dirty.”

Xiao Jiu’s first words were this.

The first person to hold her was Sister Bai Zhi,

The first person to feel sorry for her was also Sister Bai Zhi. She didn’t want Sister Bai Zhi to see her so ugly.

“Silly Xiao Jiu, be good. Xiao Jiu won’t hurt anymore.”

Bai Zhi gently patted her head, holding her in her arms, “Xiao Jiu did nothing wrong, it’s only fitting they apologize to you.”

Bai Zhi didn’t think Xiao Jiu was wrong; she endured too much. Her mother, the mother she loved so deeply, treated her merely as a tool, a means to strengthen her power.

How young she was, yet she did all this.

“They did wrong, they should be punished. Xiao Jiu, you are not wrong. But don’t punish yourself.”

Bai Zhi turned her to face her, Xiao Jiu dared not meet her eyes.
