I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 22.1

…What?

…Mother?

Lin Xinghe said, "...Wait, I'm not your..."

Before the word "mother" could be uttered, Xiao Xue Ji clutched Lin Xinghe tightly, as if afraid of being abandoned. She gripped her calf tightly like a koala.

"Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy..."

Lin Xinghe said, "I..."

"Mommy."

"No..."

"Mommy."

Lin Xinghe asked, "What else can you say other than Mommy?"

Xiao Xue Ji:...

"Mom."

Lin Xinghe had no choice but to accept the "Mom" first, and then asked, "How did you come out? When did you hitch a ride on the golden hairpin?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xinghe was also surprised. How could the proctor not have noticed that Xiao Xue Ji came out with her? Could it be that the proctor didn’t actually have the power to find any living creatures following her? Or was Xiao Xue Ji’s magic beyond the detection of the proctor?

Xiao Xue Ji did not answer her words for a long time.

She raised her little head and blinked her little eyes guilelessly, as if she could not understand Lin Xinghe's words.

Lin Xinghe was slightly startled and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"Mommy."

"Do you still remember the Snow Maiden?" Lin Xinghe suddenly remembered that she had a photo of the Snow Maiden, and called up the photo on her phone. It was a picture of the Snow Maiden changing into a black dress and looking back at her with a smile.

Xiao Xue Ji looked at the picture with disinterest, as if she didn't recognize the Snow Maiden at all.

Lin Xinghe said again, "Can you show me your five mouths?"

Xiao Xue Ji tilted her head, as if thinking about Lin Xinghe's words. Lin Xinghe received a message from Gu Taoyao, and her phone vibrated. Xiao Xue Ji's eyes lit up and she stared at the phone curiously, with an expression of wanting but not daring to touch.

Lin Xinghe took off her heavy snow mountain climbing equipment. She sat down, picked up Xiao Xue Ji, set her in her lap, and opened Gu Taoyao's message.

Gu Taoyao sent her a video.

She opened it up.

It was a sneakily-taken video, in which a strange man was flying in on a sword like a meteor flashing in the sky.

Gu Taoyao: I risked my life to film this! He is Xie Wuan! Remember to stay away from him when you meet him later!

Lin Xinghe: Has anyone successfully brought out living creatures from the exam worlds?

Gu Taoyao: It is impossible to bring out living creatures. There are two lines of defense in the examination room. One is the space-time rift, and the other is the proctor. There is no way for living creatures to pass through both of those. Before, a classmate had a relationship with an NPC in the exam room, and despite the proctor’s warning, he wanted to bring the NPC back to the school. When they passed through the space-time rift, she was killed on the spot, and her soul was scattered to the winds. After he came out, he was punished, and they took away 80% of his points.

Lin Xinghe glanced at Xiao Xue Ji in her arms.

Lin Xinghe: What about things that no longer seem to be living?

Gu Taoyao: No, some people have tried it. A student in the fantasy department grew fond of a horse in the examination room and wanted to bring it out. After feeding it a magic potion of suspended animation, it was brought out, but the proctor didn’t let it come through the rift—he could detect all the living things in the exam room. In the end, the student could only give up and accept the punishment.

Lin Xinghe: What about the horse?

Gu Taoyao: It was sent back to the world by the invigilator.

Lin Xinghe thought about her situation in silence.

...How did Xiao Xue Ji fool the proctor and get through the space-time rift? She also doesn’t seem to remember anything from the exam room.

... She even imprinted on Lin Xinghe...

"Mommy..."

"Yes?" Lin Xinghe responded subconsciously.

Xiao Xue Ji stretched out her tiny hand to touch Lin Xinghe's face and said, "Five...mouths..."

Lin Xinghe pointed to her own mouth, "This is a mouth, one mouth."

Xiao Xue Ji instantly gave herself five mouths.

However, it was not the scary face with five mouths in the examination room, but five tiny rosebud mouths stacked on top of each other, and all of them were babbling "Mommy..."

Lin Xinghe praised: "Wow, great job!"

At the same time, Lin Xinghe determined that Xiao Xue Ji had lost her memory—she had forgotten everything that happened in the exam world, and now she was like a toddler still learning to talk.

However, Lin Xinghe thought about it for a second, and felt that it was actually a good thing for Xiao Xue Ji to be able to forget the cruel and sad past and be born again.

Lin Xinghe planned to keep Xiao Xue Ji. She didn’t remember anything now, and she still had a lot of skills. If she were sent back to her home world, she might meet a man like Zhang Zheng or Min Lang and become exactly like the Snow Maiden. But in order to keep her safe, Lin Xinghe had to go out of her way to hide Xiao Xue Ji from the school and her classmates.

She decided to take a gamble. Worst case scenario, she would lose 80% of her points. She had 280 points, so if 80% of her points were deducted, she would still have 56 points. That was enough to last her for a month, and she could take more tests to get points.

Lin Xinghe felt that it was worth it. Besides, Xiao Xue Ji was well raised and could be a big help to her. Her ability to create illusions and transform into any object she encountered seemed to be a boss ability.

The five mouths in her arms opened and closed.

Normally, it might have been scary to watch, but Lin Xinghe felt responsible for Xiao Xue Ji’s future; now that she had taken Xiao Xue Ji under her wing, her five mouths have become cute.

She said, "Can you change back now?"

Xiao Xue Ji immediately turned back into a cute chubby toddler with pale skin and big eyes, and her innocent face looked at Lin Xinghe as if she were the whole world.

Lin Xinghe said, "If you want to stay by my side, you can't be in this form, you have to transform into something else..."

... Transform into what?

Lin Xinghe suddenly remembered that there was a column for animal companions in the interplane shop.

The Interplane Mall was a business partner to the school, not a branch of it. Therefore, the school officials shouldn’t be able to review what students purchased.
