I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 18.1

The Snow Maiden's work efficiency was extremely high—it was almost as if the criminals had GPS signals attached to their bodies. Additionally, she could use snow as a medium to instantly teleport to somewhere thousands of miles away.

In less than half a day, the Snow Maiden found the first wanted criminal, tortured him within an inch of his life, and handed him over to the police.

When the Snow Maiden came back, the wanted criminal’s blood was still splattered on her face, but her eyes were as bright as stars, and she looked content.

Lin Xinghe took a towel soaked in warm water and gently wiped the bloodstains away.

The Snow Maiden said, "He was so scared that his feces and urine came out. Also, he was about to commit suicide, but I stopped him. You are right. The cruelest way to torture someone is to make their life worse than death."

Then, the Snow Maiden asked, "Who's next?"

Lin Xinghe asked back, "Aren't you going to rest?"

The Snow Maiden looked to the side and muttered, "I don’t rest."

Lin Xinghe said hurriedly, "The next wanted criminal is a taxi driver. One night, he picked up a high school student who had just graduated and entered university. Seeing her youthful face, he drove the car to a remote place and carried out a brutal and inhumane act. She was raped and murdered, and her remains were thrown into the wilderness. Her parents’ turned white overnight from shock, horror and anger. They were willing to pay any price as long as the murderer could be brought to justice. According to eyewitnesses, the last time the taxi driver appeared was in a neighboring city."

After the Snow Maiden finished her second bounty, she came back to the mountain village late at night.

The small town, frosted over and dark, was quiet, like every day and night she spent in the deep mountains. Quiet, lonely, and isolated. She had grown fond of loneliness after a long time—she had been accustomed to the days without light. But light once again appeared in her life. It would take a long, long time to adapt.

She hated men, hated all the males in the world.

They should all die.

She looked at the villa not far away. Although it was approaching daybreak, the first floor was still lit.

There was a petite silhouette behind the window.

As if sensing something, the girl behind the window pushed it open.

Lin Xinghe waved at her.

"You’ve come back."

At that moment, the Snow Maiden felt that she had seen the light again.

She walked back to the villa, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Lin Xinghe was already standing in the entrance, holding a cup of hot tea.

She smiled and said, "It's hard work, please have a cup of tea."

Lin Xinghe led her to the sofa and asked her, "Are you tired? Do you want to soak in the hot springs together? I’ve even prepared a bathing suit for you. After the hot spring, I will send someone to bring us something delicious. We can eat hot pot and drink sour plum soup. Killing people in hot springs and eating hot pot is the best match.”

Such a warm and comfortable scene was hard to refuse.

A small bamboo forest had been planted behind the villa.

There was a shallow pool surrounded with flat stones in the bamboo forest— the hot spring water was drawn directly from the mountains.

At that time, it was winter, with snow all over the garden and on the mountains in the distance. Heavy frost flowers on the green bamboo stalks. When the breeze blew, the snow fell softly, disappearing into the steaming hot springs.

Lin Xinghe exhaled comfortably and said to the Snow Maiden with a smile, "I heard from Mayor Jia today that you brought many criminals to justice. The police wanted to send you a banner, but you refused."

The Snow Maiden murmured, “... The victim's parents were there."

Lin Xinghe asked, "Huh? What did they do?"

"They were grateful to me. The victim's mother clasped my hand to her chest and cried, saying that my good karma will come back for me in the future."

"How do you feel about that?"

"...I don’t hate it."

Lin Xinghe smiled deeper and said, "That's good, are you going to go hunting tomorrow?"

"I will."

Lin Xinghe then asked, "What’s your favorite thing to eat in hot pot?"

The Snow Maiden said, "I have eaten hot pot with Zhang Zheng, and he likes to eat fatty lamb."

"He’s irrelevant. What do you like?"

"I’m vegetarian. I like green vegetables."

"Can you eat spicy food?"

"Yes."

Lin Xinghe called Mayor Jia and asked him to prepare and deliver the dishes and seasonings for hot pot.

Facing the demands of the village’s current ruler and the previous ruler, Mayor Jia did not dare to disobey, but he was afraid of the Snow Maiden. After all, he was a man and prone to the wiles of the Snow Maiden, so he sent his wife and daughter over to deliver hot pot.

Mayor Jia's wife, Mrs. Jia, was only in her early twenties, and her daughter was about three or four years old. She was wrapped in a red padded jacket and small padded shoes. She clung to her mother, probably because she was scared of strangers. Half her small head poked out from behind her mother’s leg.

Lin Xinghe thanked them. Then, she realized that the Snow Maiden was staring at the little girl.

Mrs. Jia was a little nervous, so she blocked the Snow Maiden's view calmly, lowered her head, and said quickly, "You...here are all the dishes you requested, I...I'll be going."

Unexpectedly, the Snow Maiden commanded, "Wait."

Mrs. Jia was so frightened that she started trembling, but in order to protect her daughter, she bravely stammered out, "Do the honored guests have any other requests?"

The Snow Maiden walked over and bent down in front of the little girl. Her slender fingers stroked the little girl's pink, chubby face, and asked, "How old are you?"

"Three and a half years old."

"What is your name?"

"Jia Qiuqiu.*"

Mrs. Jia didn't know what to do, so she turned to Lin Xinghe for help.

Lin Xinghe shook her head, signaling her not to panic.

Mrs. Jia pretended to be calm and said, "Qiuqiu, say goodbye to the nice auntie. It's time to go back to sleep."

The little girl said shyly, "Goodbye Auntie."

The Snow Maiden reluctantly let go.

TL Notes:

*The characters for Qiuqiu literally mean ball ball. It’s usually used as a pet name, but as she’s an NPC, maybe the exam proctors got tired of naming them well and used their descriptions.
