A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

My Journey Through the Martial World as a Transformed Loli (Author: Starry Moon)

Introduction:

What are the consequences of using a game modifier to change data? Computer crashes, game freezes? No, no, those are minor issues.

Our protagonist was directly transported to another martial arts world. Even just that would be wonderful, since so many time-travel novels either feature characters wielding power over the world and enjoying the company of beautiful women, or wandering the martial arts world with beauties by their side.

Meanwhile, a cute little girl sitting by the river let out a mournful cry of resentment—"I'm a boy! How am I supposed to build a harem and roam the world like this?"

Main text: Chapter 1 Little Loli

Along the official road amidst green hills and clear waters, a small teahouse sits on one side of the road. At this time, it is bustling with people, and many weary travelers sit in the teahouse, drinking a pot of tea or ordering a pot of wine to rest and take a break.

"Hey... a pot of coarse tea and a dish of dried fruit, please enjoy your meal."

The waiter busily placed the food on the wooden trays onto the customers' tables. At that moment, a small figure lifted the curtain and walked in, causing the teahouse to suddenly fall silent.

A tiny little girl appeared before everyone's eyes. She was adorable. For these burly men who were always out on the road, the sudden appearance of such a cute little girl was incredibly therapeutic.

"Whose child is this? Why is he here all alone?"

Since no one followed her in, everyone knew that the little girl had come here alone, and for a moment, everyone began to speculate.

Seeing the intense gazes around her, Lin Xueyi tightened her backpack slightly, feeling a little nervous. She didn't know much about this unfamiliar world. Since she transmigrated to this time, she had only had contact with Ruoxue, and she only knew her own name because it was engraved on the jade pendant she wore.

But Ruoxue suddenly disappeared, followed by a fire on that dark and windy night and an attack by dozens of assassins. She didn't know who sent those assassins, let alone whether they were after her or Ruoxue. So she was very worried about Ruoxue's safety and wanted to find Ruoxue, and also to investigate her own identity.

So she came to this unfamiliar world all by herself. Sometimes she felt that she was really too bold to run out like this.

"Wait...waiter, I want..."

Lin Xueyi had just sat down in a rather simple seat by the window when she reached out to ask the waiter for some food. She didn't have much money on her; she only had a few dozen taels of silver that Ruoxue had left her, and some gold leaves. She didn't dare to use the gold leaves carelessly.

However, before Lin Xueyi could finish speaking, she saw the waiter come over with a plate of snacks and a teapot. Although she didn't know what the waiter meant, the waiter didn't investigate further and simply placed the items on the table.

"Girl, this is just a gift from our shopkeeper. Go home early after you finish eating. Running away from home will make your family worry."

The gentle voice left Lin Xueyi stunned and unsure how to respond. She wanted to say that she hadn't run away from home, but simply didn't know where her home was, but even if she did, probably no one would believe her.

Looking at the two pieces of fried dough resembling peach shortbread and the pot of coarse tea that didn't look very good on the table, Lin Xueyi felt a warmth in her heart.

After thanking the waiter who had given her the food, she lowered her head and began to eat. The waiter, upon hearing Lin Xueyi's thanks, was instantly charmed. Especially her soft, adorable voice, which was simply heartwarming.

"I say, Manager Li, you're being a bit stingy. If you're going to give the young lady food, you should at least give her some meat. She's a child who's growing, so wouldn't it be better to give her some meat?"

"Who do we have here? Isn't this Chief Escort Liu from Deming Escort Agency? What, you find that little girl cute and have taken a liking to her?"

"Haha, give that young lady another plate of braised pork, it's on me."

Lin Xueyi, who had just eaten a pastry, looked up after hearing the head镖师's words and saw the somewhat burly middle-aged man smiling and nodding at her.

As for her appearance, it was a bit scary, so she quickly thanked her and continued to lower her head to eat the pastry in her hand. The plate of braised meat was also quickly placed in front of Lin Xueyi.

Lin Xueyi shook her head gently, thanked the waiter again, and then quickly started eating. She still had to travel today and try to reach the next town, otherwise she would have to sleep in the wild again.

After finishing the beef and pastries on the table, Lin Xueyi obediently said goodbye to the people in the shop and continued walking alone on the official road. However, as she walked forward, the number of people on the official road gradually decreased.

Lin Xueyi quickened her pace as she walked. In this desolate wilderness, judging from the plot of the novel, it was highly likely that some bandits would appear. Such a melodramatic plot!

Lin Xueyi kept complaining as she hurried forward. At that moment, she heard a familiar voice again. It was the voice of the middle-aged man who had given her braised meat in the tea shop. It seemed that their caravan had also come along this road.

Lin Xueyi had already asked the pedestrians on the road. If she walked straight along this road, she would reach the town of Moling, which was also the closest town to her.

So Lin Xueyi planned to reach the town before nightfall and rest there for a day. She didn't have much money, and she couldn't stay adrift in the world for too long.

Before her were two choices: find Ruoxue or find her family based on her jade pendant. However, both of these were like looking for a needle in a haystack. Putting aside Ruoxue, how could she, who had no memory of the original owner of this body, possibly find the little girl's family?

When she first woke up, it was also the time when this little girl passed away. Covered in bandages, she was clearly seriously injured. Who could have been so cruel to this child?

Ruoxue, the woman who saved her, healed her wounds, and then disappeared without a trace, worried her even more. A few days after Ruoxue left, assassins appeared in that small valley. A fire broke out, a battle ensued, and in the end, she had to leave and could no longer wait for Ruoxue's return.

With her tiny hands, Lin Xueyi's only consolation was that the game data she had modified before had also traveled with her. Now she was no longer a helpless little girl. Although she didn't know what level her cultivation was at, she was definitely not the kind of lamb to the slaughter.

Just as Lin Xueyi was thinking about how to make her way in the world and was hurrying forward, several men in black suddenly jumped out of the dense forest on the side of the mountain, wielding broadswords and various weapons, and blocked Lin Xueyi's path.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xueyi's hands trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes narrowed as memories of that previous night resurfaced in her mind.

That battle, her first battle after coming into this world, was bloody, dangerous, and, more importantly, cruel, and it lingered in her heart once again.

The murderous aura intensified, sending a chill down the spines of the suddenly appearing men in black. However, they simply stared at the road ahead and shouted, "This mountain is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to pass, leave your toll!"

Main text: Chapter Two: Are they robbers?

“Hey, this mountain is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass through, leave your toll.”

Lin Xueyi was a little confused by the current situation. Wasn't it supposed to be an assassin's turn? Why was something wrong with how things were going? However, just as she was preparing herself, the bandits bypassed her and walked straight behind her.

"So it's Chief Escort Liu. Long time no see. Are you on your way to make a fortune?"

These old sly men, after circling the caravan once, returned to the leader and whispered something in his ear. The leader then stroked his chin and spoke lewdly to the middle-aged caravan leader.

"Not at all, not at all, just trying to make a living. You brothers have it tough too. I have some silver here, let's have a drink together."

As he spoke, Liu, the head镖师 (bodyguard), handed over a heavy silver bag. The leading man, being quite perceptive, took it, weighed it in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction after feeling its weight.

"Well, Chief Liu is still as generous as ever. We can't be ungrateful, can we? Keep this flag safe, and we guarantee there won't be any more problems along the way."

"Haha, thank you all very much then. We'll take our leave now."

Watching helplessly as the caravans slowly drove away from the bandits, Lin Xueyi felt as if her intelligence had been insulted. These were bandits? What happened to the murder and robbery? What happened to the burning, killing, and looting?

"Little girl, you've been staring at this for so long, aren't you afraid we'll kidnap you and make you our bandit queen? Hahaha."

Perhaps because they had received the silver, the robbers were in a good mood, so when they passed by Lin Xueyi, they said something in a slightly joking tone. One of the robbers, who was a little younger, even handed Lin Xueyi a small piece of fried dough.

"Take it and eat it, it's not dirty."

At this moment, Lin Xueyi suddenly felt her brain wasn't working properly. Were these really robbers? Seriously, are robbers and bodyguards always this harmonious?

Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, Chief Escort Liu gently shook his head and said, "Little girl, come with us. We're heading to Moling Town tonight, so you can rest there."

Lin Xueyi was about to refuse, but then she remembered the plate of braised meat from before, so she nodded. When Liu Biaotou saw how well-behaved the girl was, he liked her very much, so he ordered someone to clean a cart loaded with goods so that Lin Xueyi could sit on it.

The carriage, without any shock absorption, was very uncomfortable to ride in, but being able to sit was better than walking. Lin Xueyi sat in the carriage, her little feet swinging back and forth.

"Little girl, I am Liu Ling, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of Deming镖局 (Deming Escort Agency). You can call me Uncle Liu. Why are you out alone? Where are your parents?"

She tried hard to make herself look kind and approachable, but she couldn't change her face. It was still so fierce that it could scare a child to tears. Fortunately, Lin Xueyi's real age was much older than the age of her current body, so she wasn't frightened.

"Uncle Liu, I... my name is Lin Xueyi. My family sent me out to travel on my own."

Originally, I was thinking of making up a tragic backstory, but then I remembered that I had some gold leaves and silver in my small backpack. Even if I told them, no one would believe me, so I simply made up another reason.

To be honest, Liu Ling didn't believe it, but seeing that the girl clearly didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press her further. Instead, he told Lin Xueyi some interesting stories about the martial arts world.

Lin Xueyi also learned about the situation of this continent controlled by the martial arts world from this kind but fierce-looking uncle.

Tianwu Continent is a continent controlled by various martial arts sects, and Binzhou, where she is currently located, is one of the nine provinces divided into Tianwu Continent.

It is said that various sects are scattered across the continent, but the most prestigious are the righteous Holy Dragon Palace and the Netherworld Ghost Valley, which is known as the holy land of the demonic path.

There are other major forces, but they are still slightly inferior to these two forces. However, neither of these two forces is in Binzhou; one is in Zhongzhou, and the other is overseas.

However, upon hearing the name of the Holy Dragon Palace, Lin Xueyi felt a strange mix of emotions—familiar yet utterly unfamiliar. But at that moment, her attention was focused on Liu Biaotou, and she didn't dwell on it.

Binzhou, among the nine provinces, can be said to be the weakest. Whether it is the strength of the martial arts sects or the number of martial arts masters, it is far inferior to the other provinces. If it weren't for its scarce resources, it would probably have become food for other major sects long ago.

Even so, Binzhou still cannot escape the saying that wherever there are people, there is a jianghu (martial arts world). With three sects, five schools, six families, and one escort agency, this is already the most powerful force in Binzhou.

Of course, this wasn't their Deming Escort Agency, but the renowned Xiongxin Escort Agency in Binzhou. It was the agency that these escorts all admired and aspired to work for.

It is said that Chief Escort Lu of Xiongxin Escort Agency is a well-known figure in the martial arts world. He is a master of the sixth level of the Acquired Realm and can be considered a prominent figure in Binzhou.

"Speaking of Chief Escort Liu, this 'acquired master' thing, is there also such a thing as an 'innate master'?"

"That's right. After the acquired masters come the innate masters. It's just a pity that Binzhou hasn't produced such a person for decades. There have been some brilliant geniuses before, but most of them died young."

"Most of them, but aren't there some who didn't die young? And didn't reach the Innate Realm either?"

Lin Xueyi's words made Liu, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), pause for a moment, but he chuckled and said, "I'm just a head镖师. I've traveled all over the country and heard some things, but as for those innate masters, I really don't know anything about them."

"Eh? Uncle Liu, what is your cultivation level? Are you also a post-natal master?"

"Me? I'm not good enough yet. I'm just a nobody at the third level of the Acquired Realm. Compared to those real big shots, I'm still far behind."

"Oh my, I think Uncle is pretty amazing. Didn't those bandits just let you go like that?"

Hearing Lin Xueyi's words, Liu, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), shook his head with a wry smile. He wasn't really that capable; he was just using money to pave the way. However, he didn't want this girl to know too much about it.

"The town of Moling is just ahead. Their braised duck is really good. Uncle will take you there to try some, okay?"

"Oh? No need. I'm already very grateful that Uncle Liu is willing to take me to town. Once we get there, Uncle Liu will probably have a lot of things to do, so there's no need to trouble him any further."

Lin Xueyi obediently refused Liu Ling's help. After entering the town, she wanted to stay for a few more days to buy some things she would need on the road. She also wanted to go out and continue searching for Ruoxue and her own background. If she stayed too long, she was afraid that she would give herself away and have to use another lie to cover up her previous lie.

The author himself has completely forgotten that a new book has started! Come on in, esteemed reader...

Main text: Chapter Three: Ambiguous Town

Moling Town, a small town nestled in the Moling Mountains, is backed by this continuous mountain range, making it a very important transportation hub with a constant stream of merchants coming and going.

At this moment, Lin Xueyi followed Chief Escort Liu, sitting in the escort vehicle, and slowly entered the small town. Although it was a small town, the bustling streets on both sides gave people the feeling that it was a small city.

"Girl, take these loose silver coins."

Knowing that Lin Xueyi was leaving, Chief Escort Liu was very worried. However, as escorts, they also lived on the edge of danger, and it was really inappropriate to take this young girl with them. Therefore, Chief Escort Liu did not strongly insist on keeping Lin Xueyi. He simply took out some loose silver from his pocket as money for her to spend on the journey.

Looking at these few pieces of fine silver, Lin Xueyi naturally wouldn't take them, but she couldn't refuse and accepted them from Chief Escort Liu.

"Go ahead, there are plenty of restaurants over there, you can find a place to stay."

Because his escort team was large, their accommodations were relatively simple, and the area was a mixed bag, so it wasn't really suitable for a young girl. He pointed out the Yuelai Inn not far away and suggested she stay there for the night.

"Yes, thank you, Chief Escort Liu." After thanking him politely, Lin Xueyi left the escort team and walked towards the direction Chief Escort Liu had pointed out to her.

"Candied hawthorn, candied hawthorn, sweet and sour candied hawthorn, little girl, would you like a skewer?"

Looking at the man holding one of those old-fashioned sticks for sticking candied hawthorns, Lin Xueyi thought, "He's a man, a grown man. How could he possibly eat candied hawthorns that are meant for children?"
