Gladys took out her magic wand and wanted to turn Laura into a woman.
Gladys: "My slave, I know you have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Laura: No, I didn't.
"You've been punished as a man for too long... I'm tired of it," Gladys said. "I'm going to turn you back into a woman!"
"A little princess should act like a little princess. Take that!"
Laura: “…” I really don’t know what’s going on in her little head.
"Wand, turn him back into a woman!" Gladys pointed the wand at Laura.
After Gladys finished speaking, Laura was silent for a second. Then, the wand in Gladys's hand glowed, and a magic circle emerged beneath Gladys's feet. Black branches and leaves quickly emerged from the circle and attacked Laura.
Black branches and leaves quickly wrapped around Laura, like a cocoon, exuding a terrifying aura...
Gladys swallowed and said slowly, "The power of the wand is truly terrifying."
The second time she saw black branches and leaves surrounding Laura, with the experience from last time, even though the scene was very strange, Gladys quickly adapted to it.
She stared at the black cocoon, waiting for Lola, who had transformed back into a woman, to emerge...
The system's voice rang out in Gladys's mind:
[Host, when Princess Lola transforms back into a woman, the system will first issue a preliminary torture mission for the host to warm up. Once the host completes this preliminary torture mission, the system will issue a new major mission. Please be prepared.]
"A new big mission?" Gladys tilted her head.
[It is an important stage task to promote the development of the plot.]
[Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the content of this major quest may differ slightly from the original book. This is a special exception and is extremely important. The host must complete it successfully.]
"Special?" Gladys blinked. "Why?"
[To complete this major task, the host needs to take Princess Laura out to the kingdom.]
A trip to the Kingdom?
Doesn't that mean I have to take Princess Lola home?
Gladys pondered for a moment, then hesitated and asked, "But I'm going to lock the little princess up in the tower... Taking her to the kingdom would be like sending her back, wouldn't it?"
[We are not sending her back, nor will we lock the little princess back in the tower. Please rest assured, host.]
[It's just... the system isn't sure if the host can handle this massive task. After all, it's asking you, a wicked witch, to enter the kingdom with a little princess as hostage.]
"Of course I can handle it." Gladys nodded. She thought that although a big task might be a little troublesome, completing a big task would mean a big step forward in the progress of her main task... If she could work hard, Gladys would even like to ask for more.
It only took a few breaths for Gladys to prepare herself mentally.
"So, what do I need to take Princess Lola to the kingdom for?" Gladys asked the system actively.
[The situation is a bit complicated. The host needs to take the little princess for a stroll around the kingdom. I'll tell the host the specific mission details later.]
[Host, please be patient. Only after you have completed the pre-requisite torture missions, the system will be able to provide a detailed introduction to the major missions.]
Gladys raised an eyebrow. "What are the pre-torture tasks?"
[The host's eagerness to complete the mission is excellent, but the pre-requisite torture mission is simple. The host doesn't need to make any preparations. The system will tell the host when the little princess transforms back into a woman. Don't worry.]
Gladys: "Okay."
Although Gladys really wanted to know what the mission was.
However, what the system said is right. The most important thing now is to turn the little princess back into a woman!
Gladys sat on the chair, holding her chin, waiting for the little Princess Laura to "break out" from the cocoon woven from black branches and leaves.
After a while...
The black branches shifted, rustling and shaking. The system excitedly called out in Gladys's mind, "Host! Look! Little Princess Lola is coming out!"
Gladys stood up from her chair excitedly.
She stared intently at the "cocoon" woven from black branches and leaves.
finally......
Is the beautiful little princess coming back?
Under Gladys's expectant gaze, the black branches and leaves wrapped around Laura's body began to peel off layer by layer, rustling and spreading out, and the branches and leaves spread out to both sides, like blooming petals, revealing the beautiful face of the little princess.
"She" looked calm, and gently fluttered her thick and long eyelashes. After coming out of the "cocoon", "she" looked at Gladys first.
Gladys was also looking at Laura...
Gladys could see Laura's beautiful face, so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether she was male or female...
Gladys fell into deep thought.
A familiar question came to Gladys' mind.
Has this changed?
Still no change?
Gladys scratched her red hair and asked Laura crisply, "My slave, did the magic work? Did you become a woman?"
Laura's eyelashes twitched.
He glanced at Gladys's expectant and excited face.
Laura was silent... Then, she said slowly: "Yes, the magic was successful."
Laura would never have thought that one day she would actually be telling such a lie to a little witch.
"Really?" Gladys looked skeptical.
Gladys looked at Laura in her wizard robes and always felt that the little princess was still a man.
The little princess doesn't seem to have changed at all!
The little princess is still as tall, her waist is still as thin, and her shoulders are still as broad.
When Princess Lola changed from a woman to a man, Gladys felt that the little princess seemed to still be a woman...
When Princess Lola changed from a man to a woman, Gladys felt that the little princess was still a man...
Schrödinger's transformation.
Gladys thought about it and felt that she still needed to test it herself.
Gladys came up to Laura, stared at her, and boldly stretched out her hand in front of Laura.
Laura suddenly grabbed Gladys' wrist to stop her from moving.
Laura thought that she couldn't let her touch it this time, or she would be exposed.
Gladys' wrist was grabbed by Laura, but that didn't stop her from getting closer to her.
She hadn't been strangled by fate yet! She had only lost control of one hand! She could still move! Even without her left hand, she still had her right!
Gladys quickly extended her other hand...
Laura immediately grabbed her other wrist as well.
His hands were beautiful, with long joints and a somewhat broad palm. He easily grasped both of Gladys's hands. He held her wrists, and Gladys raised her hands above her head.
Gladys: “…”
She shook and began to struggle, her red hair flowing behind her waist.
"My slave, please explain what you are so bold as to do to me." Gladys asked coldly while struggling.
Laura lowered her eyelashes, looked at Gladys, and asked her, "What do you want to do to me, Your Excellency the Witch?"
"I want to test whether the magic is successful!" Gladys said confidently.
Laura's Adam's apple moved.
"Why do I feel like you still have an Adam's apple? Am I seeing things?" Gladys narrowed her eyes.
As Gladys spoke, she looked at Laura's neck, but for some reason, her vision was always disturbed by some strange things, like black branches and leaves... But when she blinked, she found that there were no black branches and leaves.
Gladys felt like she was hallucinating...
No matter what, Gladys couldn't tell whether Laura had a Adam's apple or not.
Gladys continued to move closer to Laura, who held her hands, so her efforts to move closer looked like a roly-poly doll trying to shake.
Laura didn't expect Gladys to be so persistent...
Laura suddenly let go of her hands, and Gladys's hands were freed. She hurried to touch Laura, but Laura took a step back and dodged.
"My slave, don't move! Let me touch you!" said Gladys.
Laura: If I really let you touch it, something would be wrong.
"Mr. Witch, I don't think this test is necessary..."
Gladys: "Don't think so. Practice is the most important thing. Let me touch it."
Gladys reached out to grab Laura.
In the blink of an eye, Laura held down Gladys's shoulders, and Gladys turned her back to Laura.
Gladys's expression changed as he pressed her shoulders.
I wonder what the little princess grew up eating...
Such great strength.
No wonder the little princess is so heavy!
"Your Excellency, Witch, I know my own body well." Laura lowered her head and whispered in Gladys' ear, "Your Excellency, Witch, don't bother checking. I can feel that the magic is very successful."
The effect of the magic was just that the black branches and leaves came out and wandered around, performing a false show... Of course it was successful.
His breath hit Gladys's ear, and she moved uncomfortably.
Why is the little princess talking so close to me?
Gladys wants to...
The little princess must be showing off her beautiful, clear voice to her evil witch!
Or... the little princess wants to charm the evil witch with her beautiful voice!
Gladys remained calm and unmoved.
How could a woman like her be seduced by another woman's voice? Even though the other woman's voice was indeed very nice.
"My slave, do you mean to say... that you have felt yourself transformed back into a woman?" Gladys analyzed calmly.
"But why do I feel like you are being secretive?" Gladys thought.
Laura: "...Hmm? Is there?"
Gladys said firmly, "Yes! You have something to hide."
Gladys: "Are you..."
Laura pursed her lips.
Gladys tried to analyze the little princess's resistance...
Gladys thought about it and could only come up with one reason.
After a moment, Gladys asked, "Are you shy?"
Laura breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."
After hearing Laura's answer, Gladys felt that it was as she expected, but at the same time, she also felt that something was amiss.
"Now that the magic has worked, and we're all women now, what's wrong with me touching you?"
"You weren't even this shy when you became a man..." Gladys muttered.
Laura: "Your Excellency the Witch, touching me suddenly is actually a bit inconsiderate."
Gladys: "What are you talking about? How can I, a wicked witch, suffer any loss? It's just a touch, don't be so stingy."
"Besides, you and I have been through life and death together and saved the world as master and servant. I thought our relationship would be better," said Gladys.
Hearing Gladys' words, Laura smiled and said, "The relationship has improved? Then, Your Excellency the Witch, can you tell me what kind of relationship it is?"
Gladys: “…?”
She suddenly felt that the little princess' tone was very strange.
"Of course it's a master-servant relationship." Gladys said confidently.
Laura: “Really?”
The system felt that there was something wrong with this conversation. At the same time, the system thought of what happened when Gladys was sleepwalking... The system felt that something was even more wrong.
The system seemed to smell the scent of oranges.
If the heroine, Princess Lola, misunderstood something because of the host's sleepwalking behavior... then the plot would be wrong.
The system shuddered and quickly spoke to divert Gladys's attention.
[Host, the point now isn't whether the little princess is shy or not, or whether she's willing to be touched by the host. Now that the little princess has turned back into a woman, the torture mission must begin.]
Gladys's attention was indeed diverted by the system's words.
A proper wicked witch never forgets her proper work.
A moment later, Gladys forced the weak little Princess Laura to put on her shabby maid outfit again.
Gladys stood in front of Lola with her arms folded, looking her up and down in her maid outfit. Then she snorted coldly, "As expected, my slave, you are only suitable for wearing a maid outfit."
[The host's mocking of the little princess increases the abuse value by 20 points~]
[Ding Ding~ Host, please perform the pre-task abuse task for the big task: let Princess Lola do housework, including: washing dishes, feeding the familiars, cleaning the tower...]
Gladys:?
Sensing Gladys's inner doubts, the system asked, "Host, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Gladys: "This torture mission is too easy. I suspect you look down on the evil of a witch like me."
[Because this is a warm-up mission, this preparatory mission is to help you regain the feeling of doing the Wicked Witch mission.]
[The warm-up mission will last until tomorrow morning. During this time, the host needs to have Princess Lola do her housework.]
Gladys frowned, "Wait... doing chores all the time? Not letting Laura sleep?"
[Yes, because it is a torture mission.]
Gladys sighed, "They don't even let the little princess sleep. This is too evil."
System: “…” Sometimes I really don’t know what her definition of evil is.
[Does the host want to adjust the difficulty of the mission?]
Gladys: "Huh? Can you adjust the difficulty of the mission? This is the first time I've heard of this."
[Adjusting the difficulty of tasks is a new feature added after the system upgrade.]
[Host, would you like to hear about the new features?]
Gladys: "Tell me about it."
Adjusting the difficulty of a mission means that the host can spend Elven Light to fine-tune the difficulty of the mission according to their needs... However, the range of adjustment is limited. Except in special circumstances, you can generally only choose fixed adjustment options and cannot make too outrageous changes. Otherwise, there is a high possibility of side effects, such as major developments that the system cannot predict, and even affecting the host's completion of the Evil Witch mission and whether they can leave this world.
Gladys: "...The side effects seem a bit scary."
[Side effects are rare. As long as the host changes the mission difficulty within the options provided by the system, there will generally be no problem.]
[Host, would you like to try this new feature? Friendly reminder, there's a discount for first-time users. Normally, depending on the specific quest, it costs a minimum of 100 Elf Velvet Light (with an undetermined upper limit), but now, thanks to the discount, it only costs 10 Elf Velvet Light.]
[This discount is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Currently, the host has 300 Elf Velvet points, so spending 10 Elf Velvet points is a very small expense for the host.]
Gladys thought about it and decided to give it a try.
On the one hand, it was because the Elf Velvet Light she possessed had never been of any use. She had intended to use it to maintain her wings, but after the wings disappeared, they never reappeared... so the Elf Velvet Light was left idle.
Now Elf Velvet Light finally has its place, and 10 points of Elf Velvet Light are really a small expense.
Gladys, on the other hand, was very interested in this new feature.
Let’s see how the new feature works.
"System, use the task difficulty adjustment function for this task." Gladys said.
[OK~ Successfully spent 10 Elf Velvet Light to enable the task difficulty adjustment function.]
[The task difficulty adjustment function has been successfully activated. According to system calculations, three adjustment directions are currently available:]
[Now, there are three options, please select an adjustment direction:
1. Adjust the task so that Princess Laura only has to do one housework to reduce the burden. That is to just sweep the floor, but she has to sweep the floor until dawn.
Second, the task was adjusted to have Princess Lola keep making mushroom soup, stock up on mushroom soup, and make mushroom soup without stopping until dawn.
Third, adjust the task so that Princess Lola can do any housework. As for what the housework is, it can only be understood, not explained. The little princess needs to understand it herself. After completing the housework, she can go to bed.]
[Host, please make a choice~]
Gladys hesitated for a while, especially the second option, but...her conscience finally made her choose the third option.
Because the first two options require the little princess to work until dawn...
Gladys: "Pick the third one."
[Okay~ I have adjusted this torture mission to the third option.]
System: "However, I didn't expect that you, the host, would actually care about the little princess's sleep."
Gladys blinked and said matter-of-factly, "Because I have to supervise the little princess to complete her mission. If the little princess can't sleep, then I can't sleep either."
After adjusting the difficulty of the mission, Gladys found Laura.
Gladys said fiercely, "Oh! My slave, don't be lazy. You have to do my housework today. You can't go to bed until you finish your housework!"
"Do housework? What housework?" Laura asked.
Gladys: "Can't you understand it yourself? Do I need to teach you how to do this?"
Laura glanced at Gladys.
Laura: "So... can I do any housework?"
Gladys: “Yes.”
"Don't be lazy! Finish it before you go to bed!"
Laura smiled: "Okay."
After a while, Gladys stole a glance at Laura standing in the kitchen.
"What chores is the little princess doing?"
[Let me see, it seems like they're washing dishes... After all, you just drank a lot of mushroom soup.]
Gladys pondered for a moment. "So, after the little princess finishes washing the dishes, can she go to bed? Will my torture mission be completed?"
[I don't know... I'll have to wait for the mission completion message.]
"System, I actually don't quite understand what the third option means, 'It can only be understood but not expressed in words.'" Gladys asked humbly.
[It can only be understood but not expressed in words.]
The system's answer was as if it hadn't been said.
[Anyway, it’s right to let the little princess do the housework.]
then......
Gladys let the virtuous little princess do her own housework.
The little princess agreed meekly with a calm expression.
Everything is calm.
Time passed, and at night, the forest fell into darkness, and the cold moonlight rose in the sky.
The black cat walked lightly along the stairs. When it saw Gladys, it meowed. Gladys touched the black cat's head, then she ran to the kitchen and dug out a bag of dried mushrooms from the deep of the kitchen cabinet.
This bag of dried mushrooms is her storage of snacks, which contains mushrooms of various flavors and is essential for rest and entertainment.
Gladys walked up the stairs, holding a huge brown paper bag filled with dried mushrooms...
Halfway up the stairs, Gladys looked down at Laura downstairs.
There was no light downstairs, and Laura stood in the darkness.
"System, the little princess doesn't seem to be doing housework now. She looks so weird. I don't know what she is doing... Will my abuse mission succeed?" Gladys was a little confused.
[The little princess might be tired and resting.]
Don't worry, the little princess has already completed her dishwashing chores during the day. According to the third option's guaranteed mechanism, as long as the little princess completes one chore, the task will be automatically completed by tomorrow morning.
Gladys: "Then the little princess still can't sleep. What's the difference?"
System: "Of course there is a difference. The host can sleep now. There is no need to supervise whether the little princess has been doing housework all night."
Gladys pondered for a moment.
"I think it's a shame to go to bed. It's the Wicked Witch's solitary night time," said Gladys.
System: "Oh? What will the host do at night? Study magic books?"
Gladys: "Studying magic books is just a bedtime activity. There are more important things to do."
Gladys walked back to her small bedroom with the dried mushrooms in her arms.
A moment later...
"System, it's already evening, you can play the videotape now." Gladys said expectantly, sitting on the lazy sofa made from mutated giant mushrooms.
System: “…” I don’t know what the host is looking forward to.
[Host, playing the videotape requires the corresponding playback props.]
Gladys: "Player props? Do I have any?"
System: "The host hasn't played the item yet."
[Coincidentally, the system mall offers a playback item for sale. This item is called the Cloud Projection Magic Device and is priced at 999 Witch Crystals. If you can't pay it all at once, you can pay in installments.]
Gladys: “…”
Gladys frowned and began to wonder whether the witch crystal coin or the lost sleepwalking memory was more important.
[Host, don't worry~]
[The system is giving this Cloud Projection Magic Device as a gift. In short, the host can get this Cloud Projection Magic Device worth 999 Witch Crystals for free.]
Hearing this, Gladys was greatly surprised: "System, why are you so generous tonight? This is not like you at all."
System: ...I just hope you don't become stupid after watching the video tape later.
[The system has always been very good to the host.]
The system delivered the cloud projection magic device and the videotape to Gladys.
Gladys studied it and saw that the cloud projection magic device was a round flat plate, like a saucer, with a groove in the center.
Gladys put the videotape into the groove of the cloud projection magic device...
Then, the cloud projection magic device began to emit light, the magic was activated, and a huge cloud like cotton candy popped out from the plate of the cloud projection magic device.
The clouds spread across the air in the room, like the curtain of a movie unfolding.
Gladys saw images begin to emerge on the clouds. Perhaps because it was magic, the images were unexpectedly clear, high-definition 1080+.
The cloud screen first counted down: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...
Gladys felt like she was in a movie.
Gladys picked up the dried mushrooms and nibbled on a piece with satisfaction.
While waiting for the official footage to play...
Gladys thought, if it was a movie, then the interaction between her evil witch and little Princess Laura while sleepwalking... must be a horror movie!
The evil witch must be bullying the little princess!
However...after seeing the content playing on the cloud screen, Gladys's hands trembled and the dried mushrooms in her arms fell to the ground.
Gladys: ???
The scene that started on the cloud screen was like this: Laura carried the sleeping Gladys to the bed. Then, when Laura was about to leave, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of Laura's clothes. Then, she rolled into Laura's arms and hugged his waist tightly, like an octopus.
Opening lightning strike.
