A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Thinking this, he took out some loose silver and accepted a string of bright red candied hawthorns from the vendor, then happily began to eat them.

Along the way, she ate and bought things. When she arrived at Yue Lai Inn, one of the largest chain inns in this other world of martial arts, Lin Xueyi's arms were already full of the things she had bought.

Well, Lin Xueyi said she regretted not having a personal storage space, as she had so many different kinds of snacks and treats on her that she simply couldn't carry them all.

"Young sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"Um, by the way, what's the difference between 'having a meal' and 'staying at a hotel'?"

Lin Xueyi had been wanting to complain for a long time: weren't both "stopping for a meal" and "staying at the hotel" the same thing? Why ask them separately?

Her big, bright eyes blinked as she looked at me. Although she was asking a question, her cute and soft voice really melted my heart.

"Young lady, 'taking a break' actually means cooking and resting, which is not the same as staying at an inn."

"Huh? There's such a saying?" She widened her almond-shaped eyes in embarrassment. She had always thought that stopping for a meal and staying at an inn were the same thing, but it turned out they were different.

Seemingly noticing the girl's embarrassment, the waiter chuckled and said, "Let me carry your things for you. Judging from the sky, you'll probably need to find a place to stay."

There were other guests in the inn at this time. They looked at the cute little girl and laughed kindly. The innkeeper also came out from behind the inn.

"Little girl, are your parents in the back? Would you like me to get you a room to rest?"

"Sir? No, I'm all alone. Uncle, could you help me find a room to stay in?"

"Manager Ma, this young lady has quite a lot of things with her. Let's quickly arrange a room for her."

An older man who was drinking nearby saw a little girl carrying various packages in her hands. Although he wanted to help, he felt it wouldn't be appropriate for him to take over the work of such a young girl, so he reminded the shopkeeper.

Upon hearing this, the chubby man called Manager Ma slapped his forehead and quickly said, "My bad, my bad, Little Ma, quickly take the guest to room number five in the 'Heaven' section."

When the waiter named Xiao Ma heard that it was room number five in the "Heavenly" section, he was slightly taken aback, as if there was something else going on with room number five. However, he had no choice but to listen to the shopkeeper, so he could only help Lin Xueyi carry her packages and lead her towards the room.

"Is there anything special about this Room No. 5 in the 'Heaven' section?"

Lin Xueyi also noticed the strange expression on the waiter's face earlier, so she asked him about it. The waiter didn't hide anything and told her.

"This room faces the lobby directly. Any disturbance inside will be noticeable outside. The manager arranged it this way because he's worried about your safety. However, room number five is usually occupied by someone else, so..."

"How about I change rooms? It doesn't matter."

Upon hearing that someone else was already staying there, Lin Xueyi felt there was no need to cause trouble with others over a room, but the waiter said otherwise.

"It's alright, that room hasn't been booked yet today, so our manager can still make some decisions."

Although the waiter said that, Lin Xueyi was still a little worried that it might have a negative impact on the store, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unlikely.

It's impossible for someone to kill someone over a room, so Lin Xueyi didn't bring up the matter of changing rooms again.

It was a very ordinary room, not even as good as the standard rooms she remembered. Lin Xueyi could only say that it was okay to stay here, but the biggest problem was that there wasn't even a place to take a shower.

Before, when she was out, she couldn't just find a river or a lake in the woods to take a bath, could she? That's something only princesses in certain novels would do, and she'd have to be crazy to go there. But she hadn't taken a bath for several days, and she felt really dirty.

Back when she and Ruoxue were together, although she couldn't shower every day, Ruoxue would wipe her body with a wet towel every day. Of course, she would also use the towel to rub Ruoxue's snow-white skin.

However, those wonderful days were completely destroyed that night. Those despicable men in black burned her house to the ground, forcing her to go out and search for Ruoxue's whereabouts.

Otherwise, as a homebody, she would naturally choose to stay home and wait for her wife to come home. In this predicament, Lin Xueyi's resentment towards the group of men in black from before intensified.

Fortunately, the waiter quickly brought a large bucket of hot water, which solved part of Lin Xueyi's problem. At least she could wipe herself down and not feel too dirty.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the girl's elegant face. However, she was not awakened by the sunlight but was disturbed by the sudden commotion outside the door.

"Mmm... I slept so well, it feels like I haven't slept this well in ages." The girl stretched lazily and rubbed her still slightly sore eyes with her slender fingers. She then turned her gaze to the side again.

Because I was a bit tired last night, I wiped myself down and went straight to sleep. Today I took a closer look at the inn, and it seems pretty much the same as the ones I've seen on TV.

The only difference is that this one looks a bit older than the ones on TV. But then again, it makes sense. How can a guesthouse that's been around for a while compare to the well-maintained model rooms on TV?

“Hey old man Ma, don’t think that just because you’re related to our second-in-command we won’t dare to do anything to you. Let me tell you, if you make us brothers unhappy, no matter who you are, I’ll chop you down with one knife.”

Moling Town is a place where all sorts of people mingle. Many sects from Binzhou have established a presence here. More importantly, there are also many bandits hiding in the continuous mountain ranges.

Thinking about what Liu, the head镖师, had told her about the situation in Ambiguous Town, Lin Xueyi gradually understood the current situation. She guessed that some bandits, who seemed to have come from nowhere, were causing trouble here again.

"What, old man Ma, do you think we wouldn't dare cause trouble here? I don't believe it. We people from Liuyun Village are afraid of an old man who runs an inn."

The burly, menacing man placed one foot on the stool and slammed his large, fan-like hand onto the table, spilling the drinks onto it.

“I’m telling you, don’t try to be tough with me. I, Old Ma, have been in Moling Town for decades. What kind of forces haven’t I seen? What, does Liuyun Village think it can turn the world upside down like this?”

Manager Ma was completely different from last night. Although he wasn't aggressive, he was no longer the amiable person he was last night.

"Little Horse, put your weapon..."

"Hey, Manager Ma, please calm down. This matter is actually easy to resolve. Just let that young lady change rooms, and everyone will be happy."

On the other side, a chubby middle-aged man with a smile that resembled Maitreya Buddha saw that things were not going well and quickly stepped forward to mediate, but was pushed away by Manager Ma.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. It was you who brought these two here. Besides, if I, Old Ma, can't protect my guests, who will stay at my place in the future?"

Manager Ma knew in his heart that if he really let that girl change rooms, he would really ruin his own reputation. Putting aside everything else, there were all kinds of people in Moling Town, including people who were hiding from enemies. If he handed her over easily, who would trust his inn in the future?

"Hey old man, I think you're going to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. I'll teach you a lesson you won't know how powerful Liuyun Village is."

"What Liuyun Village? It's nothing but a bunch of rats in the gutter. Judging from your behavior, you can tell what kind of people Liuyun Village are."

Just as the two bandits from Liuyun Village were about to make their move, they heard a soft yet cold voice coming from the second floor. Annoyed, the two looked up and saw a little girl in a light blue dress staring coldly at them.

"So you live here... emmmmm..."

I never expected that the person staying in room number five of the "Heavenly" category would be such an adorable little girl. Of course, that's not the point. The point is, even if I hit this little girl, it wouldn't sound good if word got out. Besides, competing for a room with a little girl is not something to brag about.

"Little girl, where are your parents? Get them out here right now. Don't think I won't touch them just because they're hiding behind a child."

The other guests who knew about this whispered something quietly, in a voice loud enough for them to hear.

"That little girl lives here by herself; no other adults came over last night."

"What are you saying? What are you saying?" The two robbers were now completely dumbfounded, feeling utterly trapped. However, what horrified them even more was that the little girl jumped off the second floor.

Seeing the two robbers still so arrogant, Lin Xueyi narrowed her beautiful eyes, got up and jumped down from the second floor. She circulated her internal energy and slowly landed on the ground.

This move left the two bandits speechless. Was this little girl such a powerful expert? The only person they knew who could do this was their own boss.

It's all over, they're going to lose to a little girl. They can already imagine how they'll be ridiculed when they get back to the village.

"What's wrong? You were so arrogant just now, and now you're backing down?"

With her arms crossed, Lin Xueyi coldly stared at the two of them. They really were bullies who preyed on the weak. Now that they realized they couldn't afford to offend them, they dared not cause any more trouble.

"I say, little girl, you are impressive, but our boss is no less so. Let me tell you, our boss is a master of the third level of the Acquired Realm. Even in this Ambiguous Town, he is a well-known figure."

"Exactly, let me give you a piece of advice: be honest and don't get yourself into trouble..."

With both hands gripping the dragon, the sudden roar of the dragon silenced the two who were about to speak, leaving everyone around them stunned as they stared at the little girl clapping her hands as if she had done something insignificant, listening to her nonchalant words.

"You guys talk too much, it's getting a bit annoying."

After the dust settled, the two bandits were beaten beyond recognition, and the fat man who had brought them there was trembling with fear.

He knew that room number five in the "Heavenly" section was usually occupied by people from Liuyun Village. Today, after learning that others were staying there, he called on people he knew to come and cause trouble. To put it bluntly, his inn's business was not as good as Yuelai's, so he hoped to ruin their business. He never expected to encounter such a little girl here, who was frighteningly violent.

"You, take these two and get out of here. Don't let me see them again. Their faces are so ugly, and they're running around scaring people. That's wrong of them."

Lin Xueyi waved to the fat man, then turned around and prepared to go outside to buy some breakfast.

"Oh dear, girl, you've gotten yourself into trouble."

When Manager Ma saw the two men from Liuyun Village being taken away, he was extremely anxious. These men and women from Liuyun Village were not kind and reasonable; they were capable of doing such a thing.

"The three leaders of Liuyun Village are all experts at the acquired level. The third leader, Li Chunsheng, is at the second level of the acquired level. He once killed a disciple of the Lianshan Sect at the same level with his sword. It is said that the Lianshan Sect elder who was with this disciple did not dare to say a word."

Blinking her eyes, Lin Xueyi admitted that she didn't really understand the acquired level, but judging from the abilities of these two, they probably weren't very powerful.

Before Lin Xueyi could ask any questions, Manager Ma continued, "Second Chieftain, Feng Ke, once roamed the Ambiguous Mountains several times on horseback, and many of the bandits there were skilled, but they dared not speak out against him."

"So, Manager Ma, how did you know about these things?"

It wasn't that Lin Xueyi was suspicious, but rather that this was too exaggerated. The bandits certainly wouldn't talk about such a shameful thing, and Liuyun Village wouldn't be so foolish as to spread it around like that. Even if it were spread, it would be somewhat exaggerated.

"It's not just me who knows, everyone in the entire town of Moleng knows that the chieftains of those mountain strongholds all came to Moleng to seek medical treatment. This matter is known to almost everyone."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueyi couldn't help but silently utter her usual expression of surprise to express her astonishment.

"So, what kind of person is the chief chief?"

"Speaking of this chieftain, he is very mysterious. Putting aside everything else, although his strength is said to be at the third level of the acquired realm, no one has ever seen him actually make a move."

"Never seen that chieftain make a move?"

This puzzled Lin Xueyi. He was rumored to be so powerful, but no one had ever seen him make a move. That was really strange.

Seemingly sensing Lin Xueyi's disbelief, the people around her also spoke up, "That's not surprising, because everyone who has seen this chieftain make a move before is already dead."

"They're all dead? Not even the people who passed by survived?"

“There were no passersby, they’re all dead. You were too impulsive this time.” As an innkeeper, I’ve seen far too many greenhorns like this.

They thought they belonged to a prestigious sect and that their skills within the sect allowed them to act freely and vengefully outside, unaware that there are always people more capable than themselves and that there is always something beyond their understanding.

A moment of pleasure can only bring disaster upon oneself; not knowing the meaning of forbearance can leave one unknowingly in danger.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. I'll head out now. I don't think they'll make a move in Ambiguous Town."

Squinting, Lin Xueyi indicated that she needed to go out for a bit to take care of her breakfast. As for that Liuyun Village, she really didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't that she thought she was very powerful, but rather that she had been given quite a few techniques in the game. Her trial of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms just now gave her enough confidence, not to mention that she had other methods.

“You little girl, just stay here with me. Now that you’ve offended the people of Liuyun Village, they won’t openly attack you in town, but they’re bandits, and they won’t use the methods that respectable sects would employ.”

Seeing Lin Xueyi about to leave again, the shopkeeper quickly tried to dissuade her. "What kind of time is this? This girl is far too carefree. The other party is a bandit; they won't play fair with her. Hitting her, poisoning her—these are all underhanded methods; what can't they do?"

Especially looking at this cute little girl, if the other party were any more ruthless, she might have to live in darkness for the rest of her life.

Lin Xueyi didn't take Manager Ma's worries to heart at all. She had her own confidence; she had a certain resistance to those underhanded tactics. After all, she had modified her own resistance before.

Stretching lazily, Lin Xueyi strode towards the door. "Manager Ma, even if it's Liuyun Village seeking revenge, it won't happen in a short time. They'll have to come all the way from Liuyun Village, and it'll take them at least a day to get here and back."

Watching Lin Xueyi slowly walk out of the main gate, Manager Ma couldn't help but sigh. This girl really didn't know anything. How could she possibly understand how these bandits passed on messages?
