A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Seeing Ge Xinyao's hesitant look, Lin Xueyi knew that Mo Ningyan's little scheme had succeeded. However, she did not dwell on it. Instead, she took the two pieces of clothing from Ge Xinyao's hands and placed the gray-white one on the counter.

"We'll just buy this one piece of clothing. Please pack it up." As he spoke, he placed the other piece of clothing on the cabinet next to him, waiting for Ge Xinyao to come and pay.

Seeing this, Ge Xinyao understood Lin Xueyi's intentions and felt even more grateful to her. However, under Mo Ningyan's piercing gaze, the pressure on her increased once again. With such an opponent, could she truly succeed?

"Let's go, Sister Xinyao, don't mind this woman, she always spoils the fun, so annoying."

While Ge Xinyao was struggling with her decision, Lin Xueyi had already grabbed her arm and pulled her out after she paid the bill, completely ignoring Mo Ningyan.

Seeing this scene, Mo Ningyan only smiled slightly, but when she glanced at Ge Xinyao, there was no warmth in her eyes. She simply waved her hand, telling her subordinates following behind her to leave immediately.

"Xueyi, we're heading to Lianfeng City, where our headquarters is located, tomorrow. We need to get some rest early tonight."

"Tch, mind your own business. You're always causing trouble. Can't you just walk around with me in peace?"

Lin Xueyi rolled her eyes at Mo Ningyan's words, but Mo Ningyan smiled happily.

"Of course I can. When we're shopping together, when have I ever caused any trouble? Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore, but come back early today. It's chilly at night, be careful not to catch a cold outside."

"Okay, okay, stop nagging. I'll play with Xinyao for a bit and then head back. Oh, and I'll be going back with her, so remember to find a room."

Main Text: Chapter 241 The Main Altar in Lianfeng City

This enormous island completely changed Lin Xueyi's impression of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. She had originally thought that the Netherworld Ghost Valley was just a small island, but here she realized that she had been too naive.

After two days of travel, she realized that her initial idea was somewhat naive. Along the way, she saw towns even larger than the small town where the dock was located.

They disembarked at the dock closest to the main altar; otherwise, the journey would have been much longer. These two towns felt like fortresses to her, like satellite towns guarding the main altar.

Along the way, Lin Xueyi said that she was not having a good time because there were not two people in the car, but three. Who would have thought that when Mo Ningyan met Ge Xinyao, it would feel like a collision of planets?

As for the possibility of a love triangle, Lin Xueyi had never really thought about it. After all, in this normal world, it's quite rare to encounter a pervert like Mo Ningyan, and Ge Xinyao is clearly a very normal woman. Even if she had such wicked intentions, the idea of ​​taking someone into her harem was just a pipe dream.

Uh, no, how can a shut-in's imagination be considered a daydream? For someone who used to change wives every three months, this kind of thing is just normal.

However, despite thinking this way, she still felt somewhat apprehensive these past few days, as if her daughter-in-law had caught her cheating, a feeling that left her feeling rather disappointed.

Fortunately, those days were finally over. When the carriage entered the city gate, Lin Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Mo Ningyan prepare to return to the main altar to deal with the matters that had accumulated.

"Xueyi, are you sure you don't want to come back with me? Wouldn't it be nice if I took you to see the headquarters of our Netherworld Ghost Valley?"

Lin Xueyi shrugged and shook her head at Mo Ningyan, "I'd better not go to your Netherworld Ghost Valley's headquarters. My current identity is that of the young lady of the Holy Dragon Palace. Are you so sure I won't remember the way to your headquarters?"

Although she said it with a smile, Mo Ningyan felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly tried to explain that she wouldn't think that way, and that no one else would either. However, before she could speak, a small finger covered her lips.

"Don't say you can't. Some things you can't just not do. Just listen to me on this matter. I won't go to your headquarters first, but I will buy a house here. You can come find me here when the time comes."

Mo Ningyan glanced at Ge Xinyao, who was looking somewhat excited, and her eyes narrowed. She was back at the headquarters working, and her own wife was living under the same roof with another woman. What was most infuriating was that this girl actually thought that the other woman only saw her as a friend and never considered that the other woman had feelings for her.

What's most infuriating is this woman. She usually seems so gentle and kind, even the kind of ordinary woman who's very gentle and kind. But she's always subtly winning over Lin Xueyi. Who knows when she'll steal my little girl away? This kind of woman is even more troublesome than Lin Xuerong; she's a formidable rival.

"Sister Xinyao, let's go first. Ruoxue, remember to finish your work as soon as possible so you can come find me."

He playfully tapped Mo Ningyan's cheek, but unexpectedly, the other woman grabbed her small hand and licked her fair wrist and fingers with her rosy tongue.

"Ugh, what are you doing? There are other people here."

The word "others" greatly pleased Mo Ningyan. Yes, "others"—you are my wife. That's a very good realization.

"Okay, I got it. Then take a bath at home and wait for me, okay? Let's play the games we used to play at home before, okay?"

Hearing Mo Ningyan's words, Ge Xinyao looked at the shy Lin Xueyi and felt an urge to grab Mo Ningyan by the neck and shake her violently. She wanted to say what she most wanted to say at that moment, "You beast, what did you do to a young girl?"

"Let's go, let's go, you're really getting more and more out of control. Didn't you help me with my recovery before? I was still injured then, why would I need that now?"

Upon hearing that it was Mo Ningyan who was helping Lin Xueyi with her recovery, Ge Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief. Why was she thinking so much? It was all because of Mo Ningyan's identity that her thoughts were skewed.

"Let's go, Sister Xinyao, we're going back now."

Lin Xueyi waved to Mo Ningyan before leading Ge Xinyao back onto the carriage and slowly heading towards the city. Mo Ningyan stared at Lin Xueyi's carriage until it disappeared around the corner before turning her attention back to it.

"You guys go first... never mind, your cultivation levels probably aren't high enough to keep up with Xueyi. Just tell the people in the main altar not to mess with Xueyi. Tell them that anyone who dares to provoke Xueyi will face my wrath."

Actually, I really wanted to say that even if we really offended that person, the unlucky ones on the spot would probably be the ones who offended her. But then I thought that she was, after all, the Valley Master's wife. If we offended the wife, wouldn't that be the same as offending our own Valley Master? Of course, we couldn't tolerate that.

After her subordinates left, Mo Ningyan led the remaining people toward the main altar. Meanwhile, Lin Xueyi rested her head on Ge Xinyao's lap, her small body lying comfortably in the large carriage, her eyes closed, enjoying Ge Xinyao's gentle massage.

"Xueyi, are you really planning to stay here indefinitely?"

This is a place of evil, and no matter what, she doesn't want Lin Xueyi to stay here for too long. But since Lin Xueyi has her own ideas, Ge Xinyao still wants to know what she is thinking.

Upon hearing Ge Xinyao's question, Lin Xueyi opened her eyes and looked into those still gentle eyes. "Of course not. This world is so vast, I haven't seen enough of it yet. If I didn't want to explore more, I would have found Ruoxue long ago. Besides, I still have some things to investigate."

If it weren't for the fact that both the righteous and evil factions were coming to cause trouble for Ruoxue, she wouldn't have come. Besides, she still wanted to go out and see more of the world. Moreover, she hadn't been to the Holy Dragon Palace yet, and she also needed to resolve the issue of her adopted older sister. At the very least, she would need her sister's consent to be with Ruoxue in the future.

"I'll stay here for a while, and then I'm going to the Holy Dragon Palace. Will you come with me then?"

Ge Xinyao nodded gently, "Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing Ge Xinyao's words, Lin Xueyi chuckled and shook her head without saying anything. Instead, she closed her eyes, shifted her body, and tried to make herself more comfortable.

Main text: Chapter 242 The Academy

In a courtyard that wasn't too big or too small, Lin Xueyi stretched out her middle finger towards the morning sun. The reason? The sun had risen far too early, forcing Lin Xueyi, who hadn't slept well the night before, to be dragged out of bed early by Ge Xinyao. It wasn't exactly a case of sleeping in; she genuinely felt like she was about to die.

"Xueyi, isn't learning martial arts all about either progressing or regressing? If you keep sleeping in like this, your cultivation will decline in the end." Although he knew that Lin Xueyi's cultivation was very strong, even reaching the very top level in the martial arts world, she was also too young.

Sometimes, her current fame makes her a target of public criticism. At the very least, many people who want to become famous will choose to come here to cause her trouble. As long as they defeat her, they can become famous throughout the world.

Many people might think this is impossible, after all, Lin Xueyi is also a Grandmaster level expert. However, some things cannot be judged by common sense. For example, if you use some underhanded means to deal with her, what does it matter if you can win?

"Hmm, I understand. But I do want to regress in my cultivation level, though that seems unlikely." Lin Xueyi thought about the martial arts techniques she had modified before; several of them could be activated even while sleeping. To allow her cultivation level to decline was indeed a difficult idea. However, Ge Xinyao was unaware of this, and Lin Xueyi could understand her thoughts.

"Well, since we're already up, let's go out for a walk. Ruoxue mentioned that there's an academy here, which is a place to provide management talent for various regions of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. Let's go take a look."

Lin Xueyi said she was going to take a look, but she was really just curious. In this world where martial arts forces manage various regions, she was genuinely curious about what exactly people were learning in those academies, and who was willing to give up martial arts to study literature instead.

Don't mention that you participated in poetry gatherings before. So what if it was a poetry gathering? They were still learning martial arts through literature. In the end, they were still a martial arts sect. The reason they studied literature was just to practice martial arts.

The academy here is truly for studying literature; learning martial arts is practically impossible. Of course, they do provide some physical training.

After tidying up, the two left their residence. They said they were going to the academy, but they weren't in a hurry. Instead, they bought two bowls of seafood noodles from a small stall not far from their residence.

"Hmm, having a bowl of seafood noodles in the morning is still a good idea."

Slurping the noodles into her mouth, the incredibly fresh flavor made Lin Xueyi squint her eyes as she looked at the bustling street outside, talking to Ge Xinyao.

Lin Xueyi's adorable appearance naturally stunned Ge Xinyao. Sometimes she could understand why the Palace Master of the Holy Dragon Palace doted on Lin Xueyi so much, and why Mo Ningyan, the Valley Master of the Netherworld Ghost Valley, liked this girl so much. She also seemed to have found the reason why she still didn't want to let go of Young Master Ling even after knowing that he was a girl.

"Sister Xinyao, what's wrong with you?"

After being waved in front of her eyes by a small hand, Ge Xinyao finally turned her attention back. She gently shook her head, partly to shake off the random thoughts in her mind, and partly to answer Lin Xueyi's question. She couldn't very well tell her that she had been thinking about things that a child shouldn't know.

Tilting her head, Lin Xueyi naturally believed Ge Xinyao's answer that nothing was wrong. She also didn't believe that anyone could hurt this older sister in front of her.

"Let's go, we've finished our noodles, let's go check out the academy."

"Oh? You two young ladies are going to the academy. But it would be best if you didn't go."

Upon hearing that the two guests were going to the academy, the innkeeper offered a word of advice, and judging from his expression, it seemed that something bad was happening at the academy.

"Boss, what's going on? Isn't the academy where the Netherworld Ghost Valley trains its administrators? Can't we even send someone there to see what it's like?"

Seeing the young girl's puzzled expression, the noodle shop owner shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not that I don't want people to see my talent, it's just that things haven't been peaceful at the academy lately."

Seeing the little girl still tilting her head in confusion as she looked at him, the shopkeeper looked around and then at his now empty lobby before speaking.

"Girl, I think you're going to study at the academy too. Did you hear recently that the academy is allowing a certain number of female students? Let me tell you, that's a lie. The female students they recruit aren't there to study; they're all being ruined by a bunch of spoiled brats."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueyi immediately perked up. This was the prelude to something big happening. Yes, it was the prelude to something big happening. It was perfect.

At this moment, Lin Xueyi had no idea that she was on Mo Ningyan's turf. If she caused trouble here, the one in the most trouble would probably be Mo Ningyan. As for Ge Xinyao, although she understood, she would not deliberately point it out.

As far as she was concerned, she would have preferred Lin Xueyi and Mo Ningyan to break up and never speak to each other again. Why would she have reminded Xueyi? Besides, in her opinion, such a bad thing should never be tolerated.

“Young lady, listen to this old man’s advice, don’t go there. You’re still young, don’t let those people fool you.”

"Hmm, shopkeeper, could you tell me the details? I'm a little curious."

She blinked her eyes, tilted her head, and made the most innocent and confused sound in a cute voice, but this trick had no effect on the boss.

"Girl, I've told you enough. If I say any more, this old man's reputation will probably be ruined."

Is it really that outrageous? Lin Xueyi never expected that someone could be so lawless in the very headquarters of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. If it were elsewhere, where the emperor was far away, perhaps it would be understandable, but to dare to treat human life so lightly here clearly shows that they don't respect the Valley Master of the Netherworld Ghost Valley.

Since that's the case, she'd better go and take a look to see who has the audacity to commit so many evil deeds in such a place without being discovered, or rather, to be deliberately concealed.

As for Mo Ningyan, Lin Xueyi was 100% certain that she didn't know anything about these things, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have told her about the existence of that academy. Thinking of this, Lin Xueyi decided that she would go to the academy today to see for herself what kind of monster the boss there really was.

Main text: Chapter 243 Luo Qing of the Academy (Two chapters published together)

Lin Xueyi and Ge Xinyao didn't know the exact location of the academy, but it was a well-known place in Lianfeng City. They simply asked a few passersby and found the right way.

Of course, when they learned that the two of them were going to the academy, many people advised them against it. However, when asked why, they were all vague and didn't give a clear answer. If pressed further, they would hurriedly leave, as if the answer would summon the devil. Seeing this, Lin Xueyi wasn't stupid and understood what was going on.

"Sister Xinyao, it seems that Lianfeng City isn't as peaceful as Ruoxue described. At least in this academy, there's a mini-boss waiting for us to clear it."

At first, I could understand some of what she was saying, but towards the end, I couldn't understand a word she was saying. What was this "sudden death" and what was this "bronze pipe gamble" all about?

Confused and bewildered, Ge Xinyao could only silently follow Lin Xueyi in the direction the people pointed. After walking several dozen steps, she finally saw the obelisk that the passerby had mentioned earlier.

Even before entering, one can see the small blue building standing in the huge courtyard. As she continued to walk towards it, she soon saw various reliefs carved on the gable walls surrounding the courtyard.

Miaolu Mountain in Qingzhou, Jiuyang Road in Binzhou, the sky and sea colors of Zhongzhou, and the abundant water and grass of Yuanzhou. And of course, there's Shazhou to the west. The vast, endless desert is vividly displayed here.

"What is this?" Ge Xinyao frowned deeply. As a righteous person, she was probably the second person to step into this place so openly and honestly, since the first person was right next to her.

What's carved on this academy is probably not just scenery, but the ambition of the successive masters of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. All the most famous scenery of the Nine Provinces is here. Doesn't this mean their goal is to encompass the Nine Provinces under their own control?

However, Lin Xueyi tilted her head at this. Ge Xinyao's words did not affect her at all. Anyway, with her there, it was probably impossible for Youming Ghost Valley to have such an idea.

You think she would help the Netherworld Ghost Valley? It's obviously impossible. After all, she still has the identity of the young lady of the Holy Dragon Palace, which already makes her inseparable from the Holy Dragon Palace.

Her small hands rested on the bridge, rubbing against the breathtaking seascape of Zhongzhou. She then glanced at Yuanzhou beside it, noting the stark differences in style between the two states. Yet, both were the strongest states. As for Shazhou on the other side, Lin Xueyi admitted she had absolutely no recollection of it.

Having traveled the martial world for so long, she had never heard of this place from anyone else, yet it was one of the three upper states, which was rather strange.

I considered asking Ge Xinyao, but then I thought, since she's never mentioned it, she probably wouldn't know anyway. It seems that sandbar really is quite mysterious.

For some reason, Lin Xueyi suddenly felt a deep curiosity about the sandbar. However, she knew that now was not the time to be curious about that. She simply kept the scenery of the vast yellow sand in her heart and would naturally go there to see it properly when she had the chance in the future.

Just as the two were admiring the reliefs on the surrounding walls, a man who wasn't very old walked out of the academy's gate, humming a tune.
