I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 20.2

Xiao Xue Ji lowered her head pitifully and helplessly, and clenched her little hands. When she raised her head, the Snow Maiden and Min Lang were already gone. She stood bewildered and didn't return to the cave until late at night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the cave, she heard Min Lang and the Snow Maiden talking.

"I should go down the mountain to the city to take the scholars’ exam. When I become famous, I will marry you and bring you to my home with a large sedan chair. You will become the wife of a zhuangyuan**. Have you packed my belongings and some money? Time waits for no one. I will need them to survive in the city."

The Snow Maiden handed him a heavy package and reluctantly said, "Xue Xuan and I will wait for you to come back, and tomorrow I will take her to exorcize the evil spirits."

"Alright."

Min Lang left the cave before dawn.

Snow Maiden watched him leave.

Neither of them noticed that Xiao Xue Ji had returned.

Seeing this, Lin Xinghe could already roughly guess what would happen next.

This person, Min Lang, didn’t look like he really loved the Snow Maiden, otherwise he would  have married her when he knew she was pregnant. Now that he knew that Xiao Xue Ji was a monster, he ran away overnight. He ran away overnight and even ran away with money, saying that he would come back to marry the Snow Maiden after he became famous and wealthy.

These words were just bullshit. The Snow Maiden only believed them because she was deeply in love. She was too naive—after meeting a few men, she should know their character. The only use of sweet talk like this was to comfort the heart and please the ears of women, but to the men, they had no value.

Lin Xinghe was too lazy to watch this kind of story, so she asked Xiao Xue Ji bluntly, "Later your mother found out that your father never came back and didn’t send a single letter. After waiting a few more years, she brought you to find your father, and found that your father had married another woman. When she questioned him, your father said you were a monster, so your mother was definitely not an ordinary person, and crossing races never brought good results. In that way, he let down your mother. She was sad and lonely, and after struggling with those feelings for a long time, she killed your father, right?”

Xiao Xue Ji nodded vigorously.

Lin Xinghe: "...Surely enough, most of the stories about ancient scholars and female monsters cannot escape such a tragic ending."

At that moment, the Snow Maiden's voice suddenly sounded in the cave.

"Why are you in my cave?"

However, before the words were finished, the Snow Maiden's eyes fell on Xiao Xue Ji's illusion.

In the illusion, the Snow Maiden stood at the entrance of the cave, staring at Min Lang’s back.

"Little bitch! What right do you have to create such an illusion? You don't deserve to remember him!"

"If it weren’t for you, Min Lang wouldn't have left me!"

"If it weren’t for you, Min Lang would have grown old with me!"

"If it weren’t for you, Min Lang wouldn’t have died!"

The Snow Maiden rushed over and grabbed Xiao Xue Ji's neck.

The illusion suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Xue Ji's eyes looked devoid of spirit, and she kicked her legs twice in token protest, as if she had long been used to this kind of treatment.

She looked at Snow Maiden with sad yet accepting eyes, opening her mouth yet only being able to whimper.

Lin Xinghe suddenly sneered and said, "Really? Is it your daughter's fault that Min Lang left you? No, it's your fault. You are a monster, Min Lang was a person, and you don't know the truth of the different paths of human beings and monsters. It was you who first concealed from Min Lang that you were a demon. Min Lang treated you as a human being before he fell in love with you. It's your fault that you didn't tell Min Lang. It would have been impossible to hide it from him for a lifetime. Even without your daughter, Min Lang would have found out that you are a demon one day. Of course, Min Lang was also at fault. He did not confess his fears to you, but deceived you and even ran away with your money. Both of you were wrong, but what does that have to do with Xue Xuan?"

"...The relationship was not equal and the family was not harmonious, but why do you lay the blame on the head of the child? You are too cowardly to admit your own mistakes."

The Snow Maiden let go of Xiao Xue Ji.

She glared at Lin Xinghe.

"What do you know? She is my daughter, so why do you think you have a say in how I raise her? You have disappointed me so much. I thought you were different from others and truly understood me. Now it seems that you are just an ignorant human being—you are not qualified to criticize me. This is the child I gave birth to— I gave her her life, and I can take it back anytime I want."

Ice began to appear on the ground and spread throughout the chamber of the cave.

Whatever the ice touched became covered with a layer of thick frost.
