The woman freed one hand and took off her hairpin, unraveling her bun, and she stabbed the man’s chest with the sharp point. One, two, three… The man’s blood spurted out, dyeing the white dress red.
“…You said you wanted to buy me a red wedding dress, so use your blood to make a unique red wedding dress for me…”
The woman’s voice gradually became sharper.
“I even said that I wanted to wear a red wedding dress for you, but someone has already put on a red wedding dress for you, so you should wear it for me now… I will dress you up beautifully and hang you up in your house… alright?”
Lin Xinghe said, “Let me see what Snow Maiden looks like.”
Xiao Xue Ji shook her head sharply.
Lin Xinghe said, “If you don’t show me, I’ll go and see it myself…” She walked towards the mountain spring, but when she was about to see the woman’s face, the illusion suddenly disappeared. Xiao Xue Ji panted loudly, her bloodless face showing fear.
Lin Xinghe asked bluntly, “Are you afraid of the Snow Maiden?” Xiao Xue Ji didn’t seem to hear her words, and her body shook like chaff in the wind.
The next moment, she disappeared into thin air.
Tang Xin said, “Xiao Xue Ji ran away?”
Lin Xinghe said: “It should be because her energy was fully recharged. If she can use the skill to change her form again, she may now be a microscopic creature that is difficult for us to find, and she may still be in the room.”
“Then… will you look for her?”
“Not anymore, I got a lot of clues tonight, it’s enough.”
Tang Xin thought for a while, then said, “So the body of the man in red was killed by the Snow Maiden and sent back?”
“Yes, have you heard the story of the Snow Maiden? The Snow Maiden generally only appears on snowy mountains as a woman with fair skin and beautiful facial features. It will seduce lost passers-by on the snowy mountains and have a magnificent affair with them. This kind of creature cannot tolerate betrayal, but if it is betrayed, it will kill the betrayer with its own hands. We even saw just now that the Snow Maiden killed the traitor. ”
Lin Xinghe murmured again, “Just what role did Xiao Xue Ji play in it?”
She couldn’t figure it out. She yawned, looked at the time and found that it was getting late, so she headed to bed. Tang Xin didn’t dare to sleep alone, so she carried her quilt to Lin Xinghe’s room and slept with her.
The next morning, Lin Xinghe and Tang Xin went to the kitchens to eat free breakfast. Halfway through the meal, they happened to meet a staff member of the rescue center. She was in good spirits. She saw them both from afar, greeted them, and asked them with a smile, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Lin Xinghe said, “We slept fine—no dreams all night. I woke up with the sun.”
The staff sniffed the air, and her complexion changed slightly.
Lin Xinghe noticed it and asked, “Is the child’s father here?”
The staff replied, “Last night in the snowstorm, the mountain roads were blocked, and his car couldn’t drive all the way. In the past, we had to wait for the blizzard to stop completely and the mountain road to clear before cars could enter. Could I trouble you to take care of her these days?”
Lin Xinghe said with a smile, “Sure.”
The worker glanced at them a few more times. When she was about to leave, Chai Yong and the others came over. Lin Xinghe realized the rescue center staff member was sniffing again, and she seemed to have smelled something. She was clearly satisfied, and the smile in her eyes deepened. She greeted them, “Good morning!.”
Chai Yong exchanged a few words with the worker before walking over. Seeing Tang Xin sitting with Lin Xinghe he sneered, “I didn’t see you last night, so I guess you switched sides. Don’t forget that you still owe me five points in return for taking you down the mountain.”
Tang Xin said, “I’ll give it to you now.”
She simply swiped five points.
Chai Yong sneered and sat down on the other side.
Fang Ziyue and Li Chengyan came with the free breakfast and laughed at Tang Xin strangely. Tang Xin naturally heard it. If it had been like this yesterday, she might have hesitated for a while, but after meeting this European Emperor villain, she would stay on her side for the rest of her life.
She pretended not to hear and ate her own breakfast.
Seeing this, Fang Ziyue felt like she was punching cotton. Bored, she seemed to think of something, saying happily, “I don’t know if I was too tired yesterday, or if the bed here is too comfortable, but I slept really well. I even had a dream that I was going to a spa, and the masseuse gave me the best massage of my life for a whole night. When I woke up, I was super refreshed. The fatigue from going down the mountain yesterday was all gone.”
Li Chengyan also said, “I also slept well last night and had a dream.”
Fang Ziyue blinked and asked, “What dream?”
Li Chengyan was embarrassed, looking away and replying ambiguously, “I don’t really remember, but it was a happy dream.”
Chai Yong said, “I had a sexy dream. I did this pretty lass all night. It was fucking great.”
Lin Xinghe sat close and listened to them.
She asked Tang Xin in a low voice, “Did you dream?”
Tang Xin shook her head and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Xinghe said, “Do you remember the painting in the room? It may have played a role in creating a dream or illusion. The effects of the painting in your room were probably manipulated by Xiao Xue Ji yesterday. I guess the kaomoji features rendered the painting useless.”
…She was really lucky. Last night, she just wanted to draw cute facial features because she felt bad that the painting had none, but she didn’t expect to hit the nail on the head.
After Lin Xinghe had breakfast, she and Tang Xin deliberately walked past Chai Yong and the other two. She imitated the worker and sniffed hard. All three of them had a strange scent, and Fang Ziyue’s scent was lighter, while Chai Yong and Li Chengyan’s scent was more noticeable.
The three of them were talking and laughing, but none of them noticed the smell of the others.
Lin Xinghe asked Tang Xin, “Did you smell it?”
Tang Xin nodded, “I can’t name it, but yes.”
