A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Just as Lin Xueyi left the inn to buy some things she would need for the journey, Liu Yunzhai received a message that their people had been injured in Moling Town.

Although it's said that they can't act arbitrarily in Moling Town, Liuyun Village has always been domineering. While they won't easily break the tacit understanding of Moling Town, if someone really causes trouble for them there, they will let the people in the town know that there are some things they can't do and some people they can't mess with.

"Third brother, judging from this news, the person who made the move probably already has some internal strength, not just ordinary external skills. You should handle this matter."

The man in black, his face masked, sat leisurely on a chair at the far end of the hall, leaning against the armrest, looking at the man next to him with a ferocious face that resembled a centipede crawling on his face. This man was Li Chunsheng, the third leader of Liuyun Village.

"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely chop this little brat who dared to lay a hand on us into pieces."

“Hey, third brother, this habit of yours is not good. You always want to kill people. The message says that this time it was a little girl who did it. I think you should stop killing her. After you kill her, just strip her naked and hang her at the city gate.”

Although Li Chunsheng was very arrogant, he still respected his elder brother very much. After hearing his brother's arrangements, he nodded without thinking.

"It's a little girl? Brother, should we take her back to the stronghold first, and let's go for a walk... Uh, okay, never mind."

The second-in-command, Feng Ke, had barely begun to speak when he was glared at by the first-in-command. Although he felt a little displeased, he dared not show it on his face.

"Don't mention this kind of thing again. We are bandits, not womanizers. If she hadn't attacked our people, I would have given her a quick death. Consider this a lesson for the people of town."

That's what they say, but you still have reservations about that hermit in the town of Ambiguous Town who is also at the third level of the Acquired Realm. To be frank, this time it's just to test that hermit.

He thought this to himself, but Feng Ke didn't dare say it aloud, so he kept it to himself. He watched as the third brother got up and walked outside.

"Big brother, I'm a little worried about the third brother. How about I secretly follow him from behind?"

"Okay, you just follow behind. Come back if nothing happens, and take action if something does. Don't let the third brother get into trouble too."

Chapter Six: The Troublemakers Have Arrived

A pot of tea, a plate of braised meat, a plate of green vegetables, two white steamed buns on a plate, and a little girl sitting at the table, enjoying her dinner with satisfaction.

The shopkeeper, Mr. Ma, looked at the young girl with some concern. He wanted her to leave quickly, but he was also afraid that if she went out now, she would lose the protection of Ambiguous Town and become food for those bandits.

But if they didn't let her leave and she stayed here, it would only make it easier for those people to find her. They were caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward. As for whether it would have any impact on the inn, Manager Ma didn't care too much.

As for Lin Xueyi, she had no idea that Manager Ma had already been thinking too much. The only thing that bothered her was that the tea wasn't very good. Although it was better than the previous coarse tea, it was still only slightly better.

As for why she didn't drink alcohol, well, at her age, she should be offered a drink. When she was about to order a pot of wine, this old man stopped her, saying that she was too young to drink alcohol and gave her a pot of tea instead.

This made Lin Xueyi feel disappointed. So what if she was this age? She was dressed like this, and although she wasn't as old as him, she was still older than this waiter.

However, reality is reality. Lin Xueyi continued to drink the tea that others served her, helplessly accepting the fact that she had now become a loli.

I miss the days when I was with Ruoxue. We would take baths together, look at flowers together, and practice martial arts together. Every time, she would say that although her martial arts skills were very good, she lacked practical experience and was still lacking in real combat. She also said that it was too dangerous outside and advised her not to go out casually.

As a result, her sudden departure without saying goodbye attracted another group of assassins, forcing her to go out and look for someone. However, it must be said that after going out, although she met many good people, she also met quite a few bad people.

For example, those people who were about to come in took a big bite of the steamed bun in their hands, and then picked up a piece of cooked meat and put it in their mouths. Suddenly, they heard several fierce-looking men dressed as bandits rush in through the originally quiet gate.

"Who among you attacked someone from Liuyun Village before?"

The man, carrying a huge horse-slaying sword on his shoulder, spoke with scars on his face that looked like a centipede crawling across it, making him appear ferocious and menacing.

"So you're the third leader of Liuyun Village. What a rare guest! You've come here..."

"Old Ma, I don't want to waste my breath on you here. Hand over that little girl who attacked our Liuyun Village brothers earlier, or don't blame me for being impolite."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of thugs echoed his words, completely disregarding how shameful it was that their opponent was just a young girl.

"Third Master is just an ignorant child, please be magnanimous and let him off..."

"Bullshit! If you dare to talk nonsense here again, don't blame me for chopping you up too. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have that old geezer as your backer. My big brother is no pushover either."

With a loud shout, Li Chunsheng, the third leader of Liuyun Village, slammed his saber heavily onto the ground, causing cracks to appear on the bluestone floor.

A bunch of grown men bullying a lonely little girl, is that all the Liuyun Village is capable of?

With a soft whisper and a cold laugh, a man carrying a long sword slowly descended from the second floor. His peach blossom eyes were like flowing autumn water, sparkling with brilliance.

"And who are you, sir? Please do not interfere in the affairs of Liuyun Village in Moling Mountain."

To put it bluntly, when we at Liuyun Village are doing our business, you bystanders should stay out of the way; this is none of your concern.

"Ha, Moling Mountain, Moling Town, what are they in the whole of Binzhou? You really think you're something special?"

With that cold smile and those alluring eyes, well, Lin Xueyi thought, if this were a man, she would really question her existence. But as the man passed by, Lin Xueyi sniffed lightly, and sure enough, it was a girl.

"Who are you, sir? Things may change, and perhaps our Liuyun Village and your sect have some connection."

The third leader, though seemingly reckless, was somewhat wary of this undeniably imposing man. The man was right; while Liu Yun Village could act with impunity in the Moling Mountains, it wasn't exactly a prestigious place in the entire Binzhou. Moreover, by asking this question, he could also learn the man's background.

If it were a major martial arts sect, he would at least give them some face, and at least for now, he wouldn't really become enemies with them.

"You don't need to play tricks here trying to find out about my sect. You're not worthy."

"Heh, brat, don't think we can't do anything to you. Let me tell you, we Liuyun Village are not to be trifled with here. Even if you are a master with innate talent, you will only meet your end in our Liuyun Village."

The henchmen standing nearby had never encountered such an arrogant enemy. Usually, those who came here were procurement personnel from various powerful groups; truly skilled individuals wouldn't come here. This led the people of Liuyun Village to believe that their leaders were the most formidable figures.

"So you think I'm too easy to talk to, is that it?"

Before Li Chunsheng could speak, a figure appeared as if an eagle had descended to earth, swooping down and in a few blinks, all the bandits from Liuyun Village who had just been spouting nonsense were driven out of the gate.

"Fly...Flying Eagle Fortress..."

"Not bad, you have some knowledge. Tell your leader that Flying Eagle Fortress is taking over this girl's affairs. If there are any objections, come to Flying Eagle Fortress and settle things with us."

"So it's the experts from Flying Eagle Fortress who have come to the factory. I am Feng Ke, the second leader of Liuyun Village. Please forgive me for not greeting you properly. Third brother, since the heroes of Flying Eagle Fortress have taken on this matter, let's call it a day."

Feng Ke, who had been hiding in the shadows, saw that there were people from Flying Eagle Fortress here. Since the third brother was in a dilemma, he naturally came out and helped him out.

“Third brother, I know you’re close to the two brothers who were beaten before, but Flying Eagle Fortress should give you some face. Let’s just let this matter go. Come back with me first and explain things to our eldest brother.”

While speaking, Li Chunsheng, the third leader, understood his second brother's meaning by giving him meaningful glances. Although he was somewhat resentful, he still obediently led a few surviving subordinates out.

"Remember to take all your trash with you. I don't have the habit of sweeping."

He glared angrily, but was eventually persuaded to stop by the second-in-command, Feng Ke. He couldn't actually kill anyone in town, but outside, things might be different.

Main text: Chapter Seven Su Mengsha

"Girl, I've done you a huge favor, aren't you going to say thank you?"

Watching the little girl calmly sitting there drinking tea, Su Mengsha suddenly became a little interested in this girl who had given her the sudden idea to help.

Holding the cup of tea, he calmly took a sip, and without looking up, simply said, "You've saved their lives. Should I thank you for letting me avoid taking action now?"

Arrogant? Su Mengsha was slightly taken aback, but did not say what she was thinking. She had this habit of being arrogant before. So what if she was overconfident?

"Little girl, even if I'm telling you not to do anything for now, what, you're reluctant to part with this little bit of coarse tea?"

Glancing at the still steaming teacup on the table, Su Mengsha thought for a moment and realized that a normal restaurant would never serve a young girl alone in a strange place.

"Waiter, bring me a pot of wine, and some snacks as well."

He picked up a perfectly braised beef and put it in his mouth, saying, "I don't have any extra money to treat you to a meal. You ordered the food, so you pay for it yourself."

She can't expect to get a free meal. If she had money, she would be more generous, but she doesn't have any money on her right now. If she tries to put on a show of wealth, she'll end up begging for a living.

"Alright, alright, how much money could a little girl like you have? This meal is on me."

With a wave of his hand, a gleaming silver ingot appeared on the table, almost blinding the waiter. Usually, people dealt with small pieces of silver, but now a large silver ingot appeared before his eyes, like a dream.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, waiter. Give me some more of this braised meat. I'll take it back to my room as a snack."

After hearing this little girl's unlovable comment, I really wanted to roll my eyes at her, but then I thought better of it. If she can't talk cutely, so be it; as long as she looks cute, that's all that matters.

For some reason, Su Mengsha just felt a connection with this little girl. Before, she just couldn't stand seeing a group of grown men causing trouble for a little girl, but now, looking at this little girl sitting at the table eating meat and drinking tea, she found her more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Girl, I'm going to Luocheng this time to attend the annual Qingyun Poetry Festival. Do you want to come with me?"

Seeing the little girl eating by herself, Su Mengsha was a little annoyed. She was sitting there, and the girl didn't even look up. This was too disrespectful.

Actually, Lin Xueyi didn't want to lift the lid, but she naturally harbored a slight distrust towards this suddenly appearing woman. She still couldn't be sure who the black-clad assassin was after, and who knew what this woman's purpose was in approaching her.

"What? Don't you want to go? It's a very lively place. Many talented young people from the martial arts world go there to participate."

"A considerable number of talented young people? Are there both men and women?"

Other things can be ignored, but most of the rising stars in the martial arts world will be there, which makes Lin Xueyi hopeful. Perhaps Ruoxue will also appear there.

"What's the purpose of those poetry gatherings over there?"

"Tsk tsk, you want to go as soon as you hear there are promising young talents and rising stars, don't you? Don't worry, there are plenty of young heroes there, each one a top-notch..."

“I have nothing to do with cats and dogs, just tell me about the poetry gatherings there.”

"Although it's called a poetry gathering, it's actually a place of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world). Most of the people in the gathering are rising stars in the jianghu, and many of them want to win some prizes and make a name for themselves."

"Wait, wait, I don't understand why people in the martial arts world want to gain fame at poetry gatherings. You seem to be kidding me."

It wasn't that Lin Xueyi didn't believe it, but Su Mengsha's words were too information-heavy and exaggerated. The martial arts world is about martial arts, while poetry gatherings are about literature. You're telling me that someone who practices martial arts is going there to hold a poetry gathering and even become famous? That's ridiculous.

However, Su Mengsha looked serious. "Although it is called a poetry gathering, Luo City itself is a place where literature leads to martial arts. It is said that back then, the old ancestor of Luo City used the Thirty-Six Styles of Yiwen Sword Technique to create a great reputation in the martial arts world and even became one of the few innate experts in Binzhou."

"Innate ability? Is it that powerful?"

Although I don't really know how strong this Innate Realm expert is, since he can become one of the few Innate Realm masters in a province, he must be a top-tier figure in the martial arts world.

Lin Xueyi thought for a moment. Although she had never encountered any decent opponents, she probably wouldn't be able to fight against a Xiantian master. Perhaps she could join in the fun this time and also pay homage to the existence of a Xiantian master.

"Unfortunately, the old patriarch of Luo City did not find a good successor. The current head of the Luo City Sword Sect, Ying Changfeng, is only at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm and has not even entered the ninth level."

"Huh? Does that mean there are no more innate masters in Luo City now? What's the point of going to the poetry gathering?"

Lin Xueyi took a big bite of beef, felt a little choked, took a sip of tea, and caught her breath. She found the poetry gathering somewhat strange.

Since there were no senior figures present, and it had nothing to do with the fighting and killing in the martial arts world, why did everyone rush over to join in the fun?

"It is said that when the old patriarch of Luocheng was studying poetry and literature in Luocheng, he finally comprehended these thirty-six sword techniques. So from that time on, Luocheng gradually began to flourish with literary culture."

"Although strength is the most important thing in the martial arts world, not everyone values ​​strength. Sometimes, being both literate and skilled in martial arts is also a title."

Hearing Su Mengsha's words, Lin Xueyi tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "You can have another title for picking up girls in the martial arts world, right? After getting this title, it's like increasing your charm value, which can make more women admire you. That's roughly the idea."

“That makes sense.” Su Mengsha nodded in agreement with Lin Xueyi’s words, and then continued, “How about it, do you want to come with me to take a look? Maybe you can find your Mr. Right.”

Can I roll my eyes at this moment, this woman who's laughing so happily?

“I went there simply to read and write poetry.”

"Of course not. Since it's a journey from literature to martial arts, there will naturally be a martial arts competition. But I don't think anyone will cause you any trouble. Just come with me, and I'll protect you."

Looking at this adorable little girl, just having her by my side is a real treat. If she could call me "brother" in her cute voice, that would be even more perfect.
