A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Tang Bei, the right-hand man of Tang Tong, the master of Haishan Cave, can also be said to be his greatest strategist. The fact that Tang Bei was sent to Flying Eagle Fortress at this time shows that Haishan Cave is determined to get Su Mengsha.

However, their purpose was still not clear enough. Simply saying that their young master had fallen in love with Su Mengsha and wanted her to marry him was obviously not credible.

Su Zhengxiong was also very puzzled by this. If Haishan Cave wanted to force them to side with the evil faction, they didn't need to use this method. If they wanted to find an excuse to kill them, does the evil faction need a reason to wipe out an entire family? Yes, they do.

"Lord Su, I think you should reconsider. I think you'll agree soon."

At this time, Haishan Cave was preparing to gradually expand its influence to Flying Eagle Fortress. The lord had promised them that as long as they could take over Flying Eagle Fortress and bring the surrounding forces under their control, they could free Haishan Cave from the control of Netherworld Ghost Valley and make it their own.

At that time, with Haishan Cave and Flying Eagle Fortress, their power will be no less than any righteous force in Binzhou. They might even be able to take over the entire Binzhou. By then, Haishan Cave will have become a force no less powerful than any other.

However, they cannot say these things outright yet. They can only achieve their goals step by step. As for what that person needs, they will naturally do their best to fulfill it.

"Don't even think about it. My daughter will never marry into your Haishan Cave. Give up on that idea."

Hearing this expected reply, Tang Beilian's expression remained unchanged. "Since Lord Su is so ignorant of the times, then don't blame us at Haishan Cave for being impolite."

"How much more impolite can you be?" A chilling shout came from outside, followed by a man with iron fingers on his palms walking in.

“Father, the disciples of Flying Eagle Fortress are ready to fight this Sea Mountain Cave to the death at any time. I want to see if the Rushing Wave Palm can compare to our Iron Eagle Divine Claw.”

"Oh? This is the legendary Iron Claw Flying Eagle Su Tiefeng. He has good courage and a good aura, but unfortunately, he's not smart enough and can't see the general trend of the world."

Faced with the other party's toughness, Tang Bei ignored it and even mocked it. However, he also had his own strengths. Su Tiefeng was about to make a move in anger, but he felt a chilling aura pressing down on him.

For a moment, he was unable to move and could only watch helplessly as Tang Bei slowly walked outside and gradually disappeared from his sight.

"Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you...?"

Noticing his son's unusual behavior, Su Zhengxiong did not take action. He knew that his son had always grown up smoothly, and the appearance of this powerful enemy would allow him to experience more and learn more, which would not be detrimental to his future development.

"Such a powerful aura, Father. Is he really just a strategist?"

"Tang Bei, back then, several sects took advantage of the absence of Tang Tong, the master of Haishan Cave, to besiege Haishan Cave. He alone led dozens of his men to hold out for dozens of days. He killed hundreds of enemies by himself, which made those sects dare not make any moves in the following days. In the end, when Tang Tong returned, they had no choice but to withdraw."

"So strong?" This was the first time Su Tiefeng had heard of Tang Bei's deeds. He stared wide-eyed in shock. Although he knew that Haishan Cave was a heretical sect, the fact that it could gain a foothold in Binzhou already proved its strength. However, their strength could be said to be among the best in the entire Binzhou.

But the fact that Tang Bei had such a record years ago is truly astonishing. "Father, I will arrange for someone to seek help from outside. I hope that the sects we have good relations with can come and lend a hand."

Su Zhengxiong thought for a moment, then took out a jade pendant and said to Su Tiefeng, "Take this jade pendant to Mingyue Valley, find a woman named Hong Gu, and tell her what happened here."

Hong Gu? Su Tiefeng was puzzled as to why they would go to a place like Mingyue Valley, a remote and impoverished place with no powerful sects.

“Go ahead. If she’s willing to come and help, our Flying Eagle Fortress will be safe. If she’s not willing to come, no matter how many sects come, it won’t make a difference.”

In fact, Su Zhengxiong knew that Haishan Cave was arrogant and domineering in Binzhou, but most of the sects turned a blind eye because they rarely went out of their own territory and always operated within their own sphere of influence. But since this was the first time they had ventured out, the sects naturally wanted to observe first.

If they can hold them off, many people will naturally come to their aid; if they can't hold them off at all, they won't hesitate to kick them while they're down and tear some flesh from their bodies.

Gripping the jade pendant tightly in his hand, Su Tiefeng nodded heavily, "Father, I understand, I'll go right away."

Meanwhile, the Yue Lai Inn in Eagle City, not far from Eagle Fortress, had been booked entirely by a group of fierce-looking men, who wanted to provide both food and lodging.

"Master, just as we thought, Su Tiefeng took the jade pendant and went to Bright Moon Valley."

"Hmph, he still wants her support. But that's fine, we can ambush him halfway. Without her support, I want to see how long Flying Eagle Fortress can hold out. Tang Bei, besides wanting Hong Gu's head, did that lord say anything else?"

"Not yet. I'm afraid that lord is still assessing our strength and won't easily tell us the follow-up plans. However, he has promised that as long as we can complete their plan, Binzhou will belong to our Haishan Cave. At that time, neither the Netherworld Ghost Valley nor the Holy Dragon Palace will be more than stepping stones for us."

"Hey, Ghost Valley is fine. Holy Dragon Palace is just in Central Continent, we don't need to drag them along. But, I heard the Palace Master of Holy Dragon Palace is very beautiful. If we're lucky, we can invite her to come and play here for a few days. Hahaha..."

Main Text: Chapter Thirty-Six Bright Moon Town

After killing the men in black who blocked their way, Su Mengsha and Lin Xueyi were riding their horses slowly towards Flying Eagle Fortress. However, having taken a long detour, they still had a long way to go to get back to Flying Eagle Fortress.

"I originally wanted to have a good rest at Chenjian Manor, but now I'm even more tired than before."

He stretched lazily on his horse, completely ignoring the fact that the girl in his arms was blushing and practically steaming from his chest pressing against her. Or perhaps she was just doing it on purpose.

"Let's find a place to rest for a while." Seeing that Lin Xueyi looked a little tired, Su Mengsha led her to a small town.

"This is Bright Moon Town, named after the valley we passed through earlier."

"Hmm, Bright Moon Valley? It's alright. The scenery there seems nice, but it's too desolate outside. It looks like very few people go there."

Holding her in his arms, Lin Xueyi looked around at both sides of the road. This small town was the most rudimentary place she had ever seen. There weren't many vendors on either side. Only a handful of food vendors were still holding on.

"Sister Su, why does this place feel so desolate? We've never seen anything like this before."

“Mingyue Town is backed by continuous mountains, and the road ahead is very rugged, making it unsuitable for caravans. Moreover, there are always some roaming bandits here, which makes the local people even more miserable.”

"Bandits in such a poor place?" Lin Xueyi was shocked. "How poor must they be to come here to rob people? It's ridiculous."

“You silly girl, have you forgotten those thieves from before? They roam around here, but they don’t necessarily rob here. Their goal is simple: they don’t want some major sects to take root here, otherwise they will have nowhere to go.”

Lin Xueyi thought about it and it seemed to be true. If this place was as wealthy as the previous towns, it would definitely attract some large forces to come here. If a big battle were to be fought with them here, these bandits might really be driven out.

After all, what they attract might not just be one force. When conflicts break out between numerous sects and these bandits, the bandits might actually be no match for the elite sect disciples.

Lin Xueyi nodded in agreement, but when she came to her senses, she found herself in an inn, Datong Inn, the only inn in Mingyue Town. It was not much different from the outside world, with a sense of antiquity hitting her.

"Boss, please bring us a superior room. We'll have hot water and cooked food delivered there. We'll eat there today."

After Su Mengsha finished speaking, she pulled Lin Xueyi upstairs with the shopkeeper's "Alright!"

"Boss, remember to bring a chicken, a proper roast chicken, and some cooked dishes too. I'll pay you back tomorrow."

"Rest assured, sir, we will make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."

The innkeeper watched the two guests go upstairs, then turned and walked towards the kitchen. These were VIPs; judging by their attire, he was sure he could rip them off.

"Chef He, two fat sheep have arrived today. Let's cook them a good meal, and then we'll slaughter them properly tomorrow."

"Shopkeeper, don't go too far. If you offend someone you can't afford to offend, no one will be able to save you."

The man called Chef He was wearing a linen apron and preparing food at the stove. He spoke in a deep, muffled voice, which made him seem honest and simple. However, the sharp glint in his eyes made it impossible to ignore his presence.

"Hey Chef He, you're underestimating me. As the manager, I can see through anyone with my eyes, no matter what. One of them is a greenhorn who's just started out in the world, and the other is a little girl who hasn't even grown her hair yet. They'll be fine. Don't worry, there won't be any problems this time."

"You said the same thing last time, and you got a brutal beating, beating you to your knees begging for mercy, and you even lost money..."

"Oh dear, what are you doing? I'm extorting money because I'm thinking about our inn. Otherwise, how could we have survived until now? If those bandits outside came less often, and we had more guests, would I have to do this?"

Chef He rolled his eyes at him, "So you think you're right after trying to extort and rip people off? Alright, I'll get the guests' food ready first."

"Alright, don't forget, you have to cook this meal with care. After all, we're going to rip them off tomorrow, so it wouldn't be good if they didn't eat well today."

"I'm telling you, who are you looking down on? When have I, Chef He, ever done a bad job cooking? Don't worry, I'll definitely cook them a great meal."

The shopkeeper was relieved after hearing this. "Remember, they ordered a roast chicken. You should be good at that, right? Show them what you can do."

This time, the shopkeeper's words received no response. Instead, Chef He waved his hand impatiently at him. Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper walked out with a smile.

"Little girl, little girl, don't blame your uncle for being ruthless..."

Humming a strange tune that seemed to come from nowhere, she left the kitchen step by step. At this moment, Lin Xueyi and Su Mengsha were sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the room that was relatively tidy.

"Sister Su, are you really that trusting of this inn? What if we get ripped off?" It wasn't that Lin Xueyi didn't trust the place, but the inn was too deserted; almost no one stayed there.

If the owner of this inn isn't super rich and can afford to wait, then he must have taken advantage of some suckers in the past and used their money to support him until now.

In short, she simply couldn't believe that an inn so dilapidated could still exist.

"This place is already in such a dilapidated state that it's not worth much money. Besides, even if they rip us off, how much can they really take? Don't worry, your sister Su can still afford the room and meals."

"But..."

"But what? You've been out for so long, how can you not take a shower? Sister Su is fine, but you're still growing. Don't you deserve to rest more and have a good meal?"

"Huh?" Lin Xueyi had never expected that there was such a consideration behind coming to stay here, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Stay put and don't worry. If they're reasonable enough to rip you off, I can still give them some. But if they're too greedy, don't blame me for being ruthless."

As she spoke, Su Mengsha swung her hand down hard, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Reunion of Brother and Sister

After traveling at breakneck speed, they finally arrived at Brightmoon Town from Flying Eagle Fortress. By this time, Su Tiefeng was exhausted. Although he had come on horseback, he had not slept or rested along the way, and he had reached his physical limit.

Fortunately, they were not far from Bright Moon Valley at this point, so he could rest here for a while, have a meal, and then go into Bright Moon Valley to find that Lady Red.

"I'm telling you, don't go too far! You dare to ask for ten taels of silver for just one night and two meals? Are you out of your mind?"

Having finally found an inn and preparing to have a meal, Su Tiefeng heard an angry voice coming from inside. He recognized the voice instantly; he knew it all too well.

"Sasha, what are you doing here?"

Instantly, all his fatigue vanished, and Su Tiefeng strode into the inn. Sure enough, he saw his little sister standing with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at the innkeeper.

"Tell me, tell me, what did we eat from you? The most expensive thing was just a chicken, a proper roast chicken, and you dare to ask us for ten taels of silver? Do you really think we're all suckers? Five taels, not a penny more."

For some reason, Lin Xueyi felt that something was off about Su Mengsha's words, but then she thought that this was another world, so there shouldn't be so many strange things there.

However, seeing Su Mengsha and the innkeeper making such a fuss, Lin Xueyi still spoke up.

"Sister Su, what we ate was less than five liang (250 grams). At a normal price, this should be about three liang (150 grams)."

"Don't worry about it. This is the only inn here, and it's so run-down. It might even go bankrupt in the future. Consider the extra money a reward for them, since they're so pitiful. Besides, you really liked eating chicken yesterday, so consider it a reward from your sister on your behalf."

“But Sister Su, even if they go bankrupt, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, the food is delicious, which is why they haven’t gone bankrupt yet, but who knows what will happen in the future.”

The innkeeper was furious. This constant talk of bankruptcy was like he didn't exist. Annoyed, he quickly spoke up.

"That's enough! Our inn is doing just fine, how could it go bankrupt? Ten taels of silver, not a penny less. If it's less... hmph..."

The shopkeeper glanced at Chef He, who was holding a cleaver, and the meaning was obvious. However, Chef He kept his eyes narrowed and waved his hands repeatedly.

"I'm just here to watch the show. Don't bother me. Besides, our price is more than three taels, while others are already offering five taels. Why are you still arguing here?"

"You...you traitor! I'm only thinking about the inn. Don't you want to eat something good or buy something nice?"

The shopkeeper felt as if the enemy was among his teammates. This betrayal made him tremble with anger. Finally, in his rage, he said to Su Mengsha.

"Five taels it is, give me the money."

"Tch, if only we'd done this earlier, it would have been fine... huh..."

Just as he was about to hand over the five taels of silver to the shopkeeper, he was unexpectedly stopped by a rough hand.

"Sasha, what are you doing here?"

The unexpected appearance of this person before her caused Su Mengsha's eyes to seem to be blinded by sand. Glistening tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother... what are you doing here?"
