A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Having gradually gotten used to walking hand in hand with Su Mengsha at a slow pace, Lin Xueyi slightly raised her head and asked Su Mengsha a question.

Su Mengsha nodded in agreement before speaking, "Come back to Flying Eagle Fortress with me. But I'll take you on a long detour first, out of Luo City. We can go to the Sinking Sword Manor first. The Sinking Sword Pool there is famous throughout Binzhou. I'll take you there to see it first, and then we'll go home."

No matter how much Gu Duoduo disagreed, Lin Xueyi was still taken away by Su Mengsha. Seeing her unhappy face, Lin Xueyi searched her bag and found that apart from a few gold leaves, she didn't have anything of value left.

"Xueyi, here you go. When you have time, bring this little dagger to my Gu Family Manor. I will still treat you well. If you get tired of playing around in the martial world, come back. I will be waiting for you here."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll definitely come to visit you again in the future." Taking the dagger that Gu Duoduo gave her, Lin Xueyi felt that the relationship between girls really depended on first impressions. Gu Duoduo, who was usually very arrogant to others, was very kind to her.

"Here, take this. It's not anything special, but it can serve as a keepsake in the future."

She took a small silver hairpin out of her bag and placed it in Gu Duoduo's hand. "I don't have much money on me and can't afford anything nice, so this is all I can give you. Don't mind it."

Gently patting Lin Xueyi's head, Gu Duoduo seemed very happy. "Shake your head vigorously, how could I possibly dislike it? Don't worry, I will keep this as a treasure."

"Xueyi, it's time to go, or we'll have to sleep in the open."

Looking at Gu Duoduo, who was still cuddling with Lin Xueyi, Su Mengsha was speechless. It was already this late, and if they didn't leave soon, they wouldn't make it to the next inn, and they would have to sleep outside.

"Okay, I got it, Duoduo. I'll go now. I'll come find you to play again when I have time."

Lin Xueyi glanced at Gu Duoduo with some reluctance, but with Su Mengsha's help, she mounted her horse and rode away from Luo City together on the white steed. Gradually, Gu Duoduo's figure disappeared from her sight.

"What's wrong, little girl? You're still reluctant to leave? Do you want to stay a few more days?"

Seeing Lin Xueyi's reluctant expression, Su Mengsha felt uncomfortable for some reason. Perhaps it was because she regarded Lin Xueyi as her younger sister and didn't quite like the complicated feeling of her sister getting along well with other people.

Thinking this, Su Mengsha hugged Lin Xueyi tightly. In the face of Lin Xueyi's puzzled look, she simply kissed her forehead with her lips. Seeing Lin Xueyi's shy and slightly red face, Su Mengsha finally felt much more at ease.

Lin Xueyi blushed with embarrassment after being kissed on the forehead. She didn't even dare to talk to Su Mengsha. When she was a boy, she rarely had any contact with girls, mainly because she was too much of a homebody. She usually stayed at home and even when she was in school, she mostly played games and went to internet cafes with boys, rarely interacting with girls.

After the transformation, she did have a lot of contact with girls, but most of it was with Ruoxue. Now that she's alone, she's still not quite used to having close contact with girls.

Yes, of course, she did feel a little bit of secret pleasure. Lin Xueyi lowered her head, and her lips unconsciously began to curl upwards.

Just as the two were at a loss for how to continue their conversation in this strange yet silent atmosphere, a loud bang came from not far away.

"It's over there."

Lin Xueyi didn't really want to go over there, because she had sensed a murderous aura, but she couldn't resist Su Mengsha's urge to ride off without thinking. She just wanted to see what was going on.

“Elder Hai, I think you should obediently come back to Jiaolong Island with me. My father said that as long as you can go back, he will forgive and forget what you did before.”

"What happened before, ha, what happened back then. We were all on opposing sides back then, what's the point of you pursuing it? Hmph, I, Old Man Hai, was incompetent and couldn't protect the chieftain. I was ambushed and killed by you bunch of scoundrels. But I, Duan, cannot associate with such shameless scoundrels."

Sitting in Su Mengsha's lap, Lin Xueyi quickly saw the battlefield. Duan Canghai was leading several disciples of Jiaolong Cave to besiege an old man.

However, judging from the situation, the old man was already at a disadvantage. Duan Canghai and his group could be said to be killing him with every move. It was not at all like what they said, that they would let the old man go as long as he was willing to surrender.

"Sister Su, do we need your help?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Xueyi felt a little tempted to intervene. Judging from the old man's appearance, his original strength should not have been like this. Duan Canghai must have done something to prevent the old man from exerting his full strength.

"I don't know that old man either. I don't know who he is. I've never heard of the name Hai Jia Lao Ren before."

It wasn't that Su Mengsha didn't want to take action, but rather that she didn't know whether she should. Most importantly, the Jiaolong Cave behind Duan Canghai was not something her Flying Eagle Fortress could afford to offend.

Although Su Mengsha sometimes doesn't think things through, she also understands that in the martial arts world, she can't be too willful. If she really offends someone she can't afford to offend, even her own father can't protect her.

Just as Su Mengsha was struggling with her decision, Duan Canghai had already thrust the steel claws on his fingers fiercely towards the head of the Hai family elder, revealing his murderous intent in a single move.

"Stop!"

Because she was being held in his arms, Lin Xueyi couldn't fly away, but that didn't stop her from letting out a sweet shout, which made Duan Canghai stop what he was doing.

The familiar yet unseen voice sent a jolt through Duan Canghai's heart. He thought to himself, "This is a dream, this is a dream, it can't be real." But when he turned his head, he saw Lin Xueyi's delicate figure appear in his pupils once again.

How unlucky I am! I ran into this shrew again. I can't afford to mess with her, and I can't even touch her. I tried to hide, but she still caught me red-handed. This is just utterly infuriating.

“Miss Lin, this is a problem between our Jiaolong Cave and the Fuhai Gang. We hope you can be lenient and not interfere for the time being.”

"The Overturning Sea Gang? Sister Su, what kind of gang is this Overturning Sea Gang?"

If you don't understand, just ask. Lin Xueyi directly asked Su Mengsha behind her. However, the Overturning Sea Gang was also a little unfamiliar to Su Mengsha.

"I only know a little bit about it. This Fuhai Gang, like Jiaolong Cave, is an evil organization in the coastal area, and they often rob nearby towns."

"When did our Fuhai Gang ever plunder towns? We were the masters of Fuhai City. It was only because Fuhai City was destroyed by Jiaolong Cave that we had to rebuild our gang elsewhere. But Jiaolong Cave wiped us out again."

When the old man of the Hai family heard Su Mengsha's evaluation of his Fuhai Gang, he was indignant and retorted. However, in his anger, his wounds bled profusely again.

"Um, sir, I think you shouldn't be in such a hurry. If you get angry and spit out blood, Sister Su and I will probably be the murderers."

Seeing that the old man's face was turning red with anger, Lin Xueyi quickly tried to persuade him, but her words were less effective than any attempt to persuade him at all, as the old man became even angrier.

“Our Fuhai Gang was once very famous in the East China Sea. I never thought that the Jiaolong Cave would collude with our deputy leader and secretly poison our young leader during his wedding, turning our Fuhai Gang into ruins overnight. Now they want me to surrender to them? That’s just wishful thinking.”

Seeing Lin Xueyi there, Duan Canghai stood there obediently, without even offering a rebuttal.

"What, did I hit the nail on the head? Now you're too scared to even speak?"

The old man from the Hai family slowly stood up, but due to the severity of his injuries, he could only stand unsteadily. Nevertheless, he insisted on standing up.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xueyi sighed slightly. Ignoring Su Mengsha's obstruction, Lin Xueyi slowly walked to the old man's side.

“Old sir, although I don’t know your identity or whether you are good or evil, I can’t bear to watch you die here. Please sit down and let me bandage you up.”

The old man from the Hai family looked at the petite girl. He hadn't expected that the woman on horseback wouldn't help him, but instead, this seemingly helpless little girl would bravely come over.

"Young lady, you'd better not help me. If you do, those people won't let you off easily."

Lin Xueyi blinked, turned her head to look at Duan Canghai and the others, and said in a harmless and delicate voice.

"Um, I'm going to help bandage this old man's wound. Are you going to stop me?"

Before anyone else could speak, Duan Canghai quickly said, "Do as you please, whatever makes you happy. We'll stay here and keep an eye on the wild animals to prevent any foolish creatures from spoiling your fun."

"Sir, you see, I should be able to bandage you now."

Before the other person could speak, Lin Xueyi took out some white bandages from her bag, carefully sprinkled some hemostatic medicine on them, and then prepared to bandage the old man.

On Duan Canghai's side, however, another disagreement arose: "Young Master, she's just a little girl. Why are you so afraid of her? No matter who her backer is, even if she's a Xiantian expert, we can't afford to offend her."

The Jiaolong Cave disciple who had previously stabbed the Hai family elder could not understand his young master's cowardice at all, and in his resentment, he spoke up to question him.

"Of course I know, but we can't afford to offend this girl's backing, we really can't afford to offend her." Who can afford to offend the little girl of the Valley Master of the Netherworld Ghost Valley?

I still remember when the elder came, he made it very clear that if this little girl suffered even the slightest injustice in the martial world, the valley master would go on a killing spree. So don't think that you can get away with doing things cleanly. There will always be a time when your true colors are revealed.

Duan Canghai remembered these words clearly and understood them well. He didn't need to offend the Valley Master for the sake of an old man from the Hai family. On the contrary, if he could build a good relationship with this girl now, and then just mention it to the Valley Master, their Flood Dragon Cave would benefit immensely.

As for the old man of the Hai family, whether he lives or dies, as long as he doesn't oppose them again, that's fine. Miss Lin can probably make that decision herself.

It's a good idea, but it's also the best outcome right now. If they insist on going their own way, they might anger Lin Xueyi, and then what will they do?

If they really did kill to silence them, the Flood Dragon Cave would truly be on the verge of extinction. At that point, neither the righteous path nor the evil path would be tolerated.

"Alright, the bandaging is complete, sir. Although I don't know why you two had to fight, why not just let it go?"

The old man from the Hai family looked at Lin Xueyi in silence and said in a somewhat aged voice, "Girl, I understand what you mean, but the old gang leader has been kind to this old man, and..."

“I think your old gang leader wouldn’t want you to die for him either. Rather than that, wouldn’t it be better to leave the territory of Jiaolong Cave and rebuild the Fuhai Gang? Wouldn’t that be better?”

He shook his head gently, and because Lin Xueyi had saved him, the old man of the Hai family did not say anything more.

“Little girl, I understand your feelings, but some things are truly beyond our control.” He patted her head, then looked up at Duan Canghai, who was not far away, and said.

“Tell your father that the elder of my Hai family will not join your Jiaolong Cave, but he will also no longer fight with you. Consider it an explanation to this young girl, and you cannot harm her. How about that?”

"Absolutely, absolutely. Since Elder Hai has made a promise, we will naturally keep our promise and will absolutely not lay a hand on this Miss Lin."

The old man from the Hai family relaxed his brows slightly after hearing Duan Canghai's words. However, he still felt that Duan Canghai was acting like a lackey towards the little girl who had saved him.

"Young lady, here is a manual for you. Practice it diligently, and you will surely achieve great things."

As he spoke, the old man took out a secret manual with a trace of blood from his bosom and gave it to Lin Xueyi. “I have never had a disciple or a successor in my life. I will give you this book. You don’t need to become my disciple or do anything. Just help me find a suitable successor for this ‘Beat the Waves and Tread the Seas’ manual in the future.”

"Eh? Sir, this manual is too valuable. Please take it back. Xueyi is still young, and..."

"Miss, this is for this young lady, you don't need to say anything more."

After blocking the tardy Su Mengsha, the old man of the Hai family turned his attention to Lin Xueyi. "Young lady, I don't even know the name of my savior yet. I don't know..."

"Ah, my name is Lin Xueyi. Don't worry, I will definitely help you find a suitable successor for this manual."

To be honest, Lin Xueyi was very curious about the secrets of this world. Ruoxue hadn't told her about them before, but now that she had the chance, she really wanted to know what kind of martial arts this world was and what level her internal energy cultivation could reach.

Main text: Chapter Twenty-Eight: On the Road

Lin Xueyi had no prior impression of what Shenjian Manor was. In fact, as a transmigrator, the entire martial arts world was unknown to her. Therefore, Lin Xueyi was very much looking forward to going to Shenjian Manor.

“Xueyi, Chenjian Manor used to be a very powerful force in the martial arts world. My father told me that Chenjian Manor once had innate masters. Legend has it that the holy sword of the Demonic Sect, Tianmo Fen, was also sunk in the Chenjian Pool inside the manor.”

"Huh? Heavenly Demon Burning Sword, is that a sword? The Holy Sword of the Demonic Sect?"

"Yes, it's the Holy Sword of the Demonic Sect. It's said that this sword is extremely powerful, and it also hides a great secret. If we obtain this secret, we might be able to rebuild the Demonic Sect."

The Demonic Sect? Lin Xueyi tilted her head and looked at her friend. She had no concrete idea what her friend was talking about and could only imagine things from TV shows.

"Why am I telling you all this? You wouldn't understand anyway. I'll just tell you that the Demonic Sect was an extremely powerful evil force back then. In that era, the Demonic Sect almost unified the entire martial arts world."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueyi was instantly stunned. To unify the entire martial arts world, what an enormous power that would require! Not to mention anything else, just the places she had passed through were already in complete chaos. Although there was a leading power, the other powers were not far behind.

However, before that, there was actually a demonic sect that almost unified the entire martial arts world, which surprised Lin Xueyi and aroused her curiosity about that kind of power.

"What, are you feeling a little scared? Don't worry, the Demonic Sect was completely wiped out in the great war between good and evil back then. Even the Thousand Demon City, which they claimed would never be destroyed, was burned to the ground in a great fire."

Actually, Lin Xueyi really wanted to say that she wasn't afraid, because she had no idea what kind of existence this Demonic Sect was, but she was quite curious about the situation of this Demonic Sect.

"Sister Su, can you tell me about this Demonic Sect?"

"What, you want to know?"

Looking at the little girl who had asked her the question, Su Mengsha thought for a moment before saying, "There are many legends about this Demonic Sect in the martial arts world. Some say they eat human hearts and blood, others say they use people to practice their skills, and there is even a kind of evil martial art that specifically absorbs people's internal energy."

The thought of the evil martial art that absorbed people's internal energy sent a shiver down Lin Xueyi's spine. She secretly erased her own Beiming Divine Art from her mind. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best to keep the Beiming Divine Art out of her sight.

"By the way, Sister Su, take a look at this manual. What do you think of it? Is it possible to cultivate to the Innate Realm?"

Not daring to continue the topic of the demonic sect, Lin Xueyi quickly changed the subject and took out the internal energy manual that the old man from the Hai family had given her.

The somewhat yellowed book, "The Art of Surviving the Waves," reappeared in Su Mengsha's eyes, causing her to take another deep breath.
