A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Main Text: Chapter 109 Lin Xueyi's Regret

"Go wash your face first, then we can talk about cultivation." She led Yin Tianchou back to the inn, acting as if she weren't the one who had killed a group of people with a single palm strike. She was still as carefree as ever, preparing to find Ye Qin'er to tell her what she had seen outside.

However, Ye Qin'er was covered in black energy at this moment. How dare her little girl sneak out? Didn't she know how worried they were?

"You... you still know how to come back. Do you know how worried we were? If Zhao Yuxuan hadn't sent a message, we would still be frantically searching for you outside."

Seeing Lin Xueyi's carefree smile, Ye Qin'er felt her anger rising. Putting everything else aside, this girl dared to run out after only slightly altering the blankets. Who did she think she was?

Seeing Ye Qin'er's clearly furious expression, Lin Xueyi realized she might have done something wrong. She had only been playful, but now everyone had to pay the price for her recklessness, which made her feel somewhat guilty. However, she vowed not to do it again next time.

"Sister Qin'er, I'm sorry. I just wanted to go outside for a walk. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Her pitiful look and cautious expression completely dispelled any anger Ye Qin'er might have had, leaving her with no choice but to sigh helplessly.

"You can't do that next time. If you really want to go out, you have to take someone with you."

"Sister Qin'er, I'm already at the Grandmaster level, I don't need anyone to accompany me, right?" Blinking her eyes, Lin Xueyi felt that Ye Qin'er was a little too worried about her.

She's different now than before. Judging from the conversations and statements of these people, her cultivation level is practically among the top in the martial arts world. Could there be any more problems?

Seeing how clueless her little girl was, Ye Qin'er could only sigh and say, "I'm not afraid of you getting into trouble, but I'm afraid of others getting into trouble and causing a lot of trouble."

"What? Someone messes with me, and then I get into trouble? Aren't they the ones who get into trouble?"

Lin Xueyi expressed her incomprehension, saying that it was clearly someone else who provoked her, yet she was the one who ended up in trouble. Isn't that strange? She should have just confronted them directly back then, and all the trouble would have been avoided.

However, Ye Qin'er, who had been handling intelligence all along, understood that some things weren't simply a matter of being in the right. There were some people in the martial arts world who, no matter what they did, would always leave themselves ample room for maneuver; how could a mere girl possibly handle that? She didn't want to be used as a pawn without even realizing it.

However, Ye Qin'er did not want to explain these things to Lin Xueyi. What she hoped for was to see this girl continue to be carefree, and she would take care of the darker side herself.

"Um, um, I... I'm done washing..."

Just as Lin Xueyi and Ye Qin'er were talking, Yin Tianchou, who had washed his face, reappeared in front of everyone, leaving Lin Xueyi stunned.

"This...this...this is absolutely outrageous..."

She was beautiful and graceful, with delicate features, completely different from the boy who had been covered in ashes. Moreover, after washing away the dust, anyone with eyes could tell that she was a girl. What boy? That was all bullshit.

Lin Xueyi glared fiercely at Zhao Yuxuan, but he looked completely normal, not at all frightened by this huge change, and still maintained his usual calm attitude.

"Ugh... I regret it now. Why can this man have a female disciple, but I can only have a male disciple?"

Zhao Yuxuan, who had been completely calm just moments before, could only rub his nose and laugh awkwardly when he heard his master's unreliable words. "Master, how about when we get to Luoxie City, I'll take you to see our brothels?"

"Hmph, don't think that's enough. Let me tell you, I'll teach this disciple for you, so don't try to bargain with me." He waved his arm at Zhao Yuxuan and heard Yin Tianchou chuckle from the side.

"Um, what's your name again? I didn't even ask your name before."

Slightly embarrassed, she scratched her head. It seemed that she had never asked for her grand-disciple's name before, or if she had mentioned it, she simply hadn't remembered it. So, she could only ask again.

"My name is Yin... Tianchou." She was about to say her previous name, but then seemed to remember something and said nothing, only giving her current name.

Lin Xueyi didn't think anything of the hesitant way he said his name; perhaps he was too nervous, or perhaps he had bitten his tongue. But Ye Qin'er wasn't so easily fooled.

"The surname Yin? A few years ago, the Yin family of Huailin City was attacked here, and even the patriarch died here. In the following month, the entire Yin family was brutally murdered, and even their house in Huailin City was burned to the ground."

As Ye Qin'er continued speaking, Yin Tianchou lowered his head even further, his clenched fists revealing the turmoil in the girl's heart.

"Sister Qin'er, please don't continue."

Seeing Yin Tianchou's appearance, Lin Xueyi's heart softened, and she stopped Ye Qin'er from saying anything more. At this moment, she also realized that Yin Tianchou's desire was probably not just about becoming an apprentice. Perhaps he also had a deep-seated hatred he wanted to avenge.

"Xueyi, you...you still want to take on disciples? You know, it's only been a few years. Perhaps those people still want to exterminate the descendants of the Yin family. If..."

"There are no ifs. If they dare to reach out, I'll chop off their hands. If they dare to step in, I'll cut off their feet. If they still don't know what's good for them, I'll just grant their wish. It's better to be dead than alive."

Looking at this adorable little girl, Ye Qin'er didn't know what to say. Originally, her words were quite domineering, but coming from this cute little girl's mouth, they were incredibly endearing in a contrasting way.

Yin Tianchou felt very grateful, but there were still some things she didn't dare to say, as she also had her own worries.

"Alright, you can learn from me now. I guess your master isn't qualified to teach you martial arts yet. It's the same as the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and Dragon Capturing Skill I mentioned before. There's nothing I can do about it. Among my martial arts, these are the ones with the lowest requirements."

As for the other martial arts, finding a successor is extremely difficult.

However, Yin Tianchou glanced at Lin Xueyi, then at Zhao Yuxuan who was chuckling awkwardly beside him, before speaking, "Um, is this really a good idea? After all, my master is Senior Zhao..."

These words made Lin Xueyi even more conflicted. She had wanted to become her disciple before, but she had pushed her aside and made her her grand-disciple instead. Seeing Zhao Yuxuan laughing awkwardly to the side, she became even angrier.

"Still laughing there? Have you reached the third level of your Dragon Capturing Skill? Have you broken through the bottleneck of your innate ability? Can you unleash the Dragon Subduing Palm five times? You still dare to laugh here, you unfilial disciple! Go and cultivate now!"

Her fierce yet adorable appearance naturally drew laughter from everyone. Finally, with Zhao Yuxuan's nod, Yin Tianchou agreed to let his grandmaster teach her cultivation.

Main Text: Chapter 110 Wealth Moves the Heart

"You guys, find out clearly whether there were any experts among the previous convoy."

The Scorpion Gang, a gang that has been entrenched in Rooftop Town for decades and has committed numerous crimes there, is led by Ma Lechang, who is arguably the strongest figure in the town. He is at the fifth level of the Acquired Realm and can hold sway even in the martial arts world.

At this moment, what they were discussing was the investigation of Lin Xueyi and her group. However, many of them were just following the previous instructions to see who was there, without going into depth to investigate who exactly they were.

"Boss, we should prepare more thoroughly for this operation. I have a feeling there's something we've overlooked, so it's better to be cautious."

"Third brother, you're being a bit too cautious. Don't forget, we still have to send monthly tributes to the Blood Demon Path this time. If we don't, we'll lose the Blood Demon Path's protection."

This is a matter of life and death for the Scorpion Gang. If they really lose the protection of the Blood Demon Path, they will probably become the target of some righteous forces, and may become a place for some sects to make their presence known in the martial arts world.

Hearing what the gang leader, Ma Lechang, said, the third brother couldn't help but feel deflated. From the outside, the Scorpion Gang was causing trouble in Rooftop Town, but who knew that there was another powerful force above them, suppressing them?

"Alright, let's get ready and make our move tonight."

"Chief, shouldn't we also investigate that dragon roar from before? I heard that the dragon roar was probably the signature martial art of that Grandmaster named Lin Xueyi. What if the Grandmaster comes here and she sees us when we make a move..."

Although he had agreed with the gang leader's words, the third brother still felt that he should be more cautious, especially after hearing the dragon's roar earlier, which made him feel uneasy.

Everything else is fine, but at this time, a Grandmaster has arrived in Rooftop Town. Once the Grandmaster gets involved, they are truly doomed.

"Oh, what's there to worry about? There's no little girl in there at all. We've investigated for a long time and haven't found any little girl following them. What's there to be worried about?"

At this moment, the gang members who had been observing Lin Xueyi and her group also spoke up, saying that they had not found any young girl in the inn, only a woman and some men there.

However, some people rushed out afterward, and it was unclear what they were doing. But they were also in a hurry to come back and report, so they didn't pay much attention to these things.

"Alright, it's settled then. Tonight, our entire gang will mobilize and take care of those people as quickly as possible. We'll also take the silver away without leaving a trace. Do you understand?"

This wasn't the first time they'd done something like this; they'd done it a few years ago, but back then it wasn't just the Scorpion Gang working with them, but also the Blood Demon Path, who dealt with that wealthy businessman together.

But things are different now. They are acting on their own, and they can't be as fearless as before. So, just to be on the safe side, Malerchang hopes to resolve the matter as soon as possible and finish it without leaving a trace.

"understood."

Hearing the firm words of those around him, Malechang glanced at the hesitant third brother, sneered, and then turned to walk out the door.

"How can you make big money by doing things very carefully?"

Lin Xueyi was completely unaware that someone was eyeing her money; she was currently enjoying the dinner prepared at the inn.

"This fish head is really delicious! I never understood why so many people liked chopped chili fish head before, but now that I've tried this fish head pancake, I realize how flavorful it is."

Lin Xueyi took a big bite of the flatbread and closed her eyes contentedly, thoroughly enjoying the delicious taste. She never expected to find such delicious food in such a small town.

"Little girl, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Ye Qin'er said in a slightly annoyed tone, while using a handkerchief to wipe the fish soup from the corner of Lin Xueyi's mouth.

"Hmm, if we don't eat quickly, it will be snatched away." While speaking, she also "subtly" glanced at Zhao Yuxuan, who was about to pick up his chopsticks from the fish head, with her big eyes.

Not only did Zhao Yuxuan get a glance from his master, but he also saw the disdainful looks from Yin Tianchou and Ye Qin'er. Didn't they see that their master really liked the dish? They had no sense at all.

Besides, even without the title of "master," one should at least give way to the youngest girl. Why is he using his chopsticks one by one?

As soon as Zhao Yuxuan picked up his first piece of fish brain, he realized he shouldn't have touched it. With a helpless sigh, he could only put the fish brain he had just picked up into Lin Xueyi's bowl.

"If Master likes it, then this disciple will naturally serve Master some food."

"Um...no...no...no need, I just like to eat, you don't need to serve me any food, you can eat it yourself."

"Eat it myself? How could I dare to eat it myself?" Zhao Yuxuan suddenly felt that his master was quite a jerk. One wrong word and he would be doomed.

Sure enough, Ye Qin'er whispered from the side, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

As for his newly accepted apprentice, he "obediently" picked up a piece of pickled vegetable for her—yes, pickled vegetable—and cheerfully told her, "This pickled vegetable is a specialty of Rooftop Town."

What kind of special dish is this? Does he really think he's never been to Rooftop Town? Isn't the local specialty just fish head pancakes?

"Okay, I can eat other dishes, I don't necessarily have to eat this."

He lowered his head, looking aggrieved, and tapped his index fingers together. This sight instantly made Ye Qin'er glare at Zhao Yuxuan with murderous intent.

"I...I was wrong, I'll go find them to eat."

Zhao Yuxuan swore that he would never sit at the same table with this unreliable master again, absolutely not.

Lin Xueyi looked at Zhao Yuxuan, who had left his seat, with a worried expression on her face. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, Yuxuan paid the bill."

Actually, I was overjoyed. Now I could finally sit between two beautiful women, one on each side, enjoying delicious food while they fed me.

As for her apprentice, well, who cares if he dies? He's not a beauty, and he even stole her beautiful apprentice. If she doesn't teach him a lesson, she'll feel like she's letting herself down.

Go obediently go to the side and compete with those servants for food. This place is hers, Lin Xueyi's.

Main Text: Chapter 111 Nighttime Smuggling (Two chapters published together)

The crescent moon hung high in the sky, and like many places in Qingzhou, Rooftop Town was shrouded in endless darkness. Lin Xueyi had been in this world for quite some time.

However, in this quiet night, she once again fell into her previous memories, a world she dreamed of returning to, but also a place she could never go back to.

What did I usually do at night before? Phone, computer, novels, music, games, anime, and playing cards and chatting with friends? There were so many things to do, so many options to choose from. Sometimes, when I felt down, I would even go to nightclubs. There were so many choices for me, and I always felt like I didn't have enough time. I never thought about how hard it was to endure the long, dark night.

It was only after arriving here that she realized how unbearable the night was. Before, when Ruoxue was around, it was alright. She would chat with Ruoxue, talk to her, tell her interesting stories, and listen to stories she had never heard before.

However, after Ruoxue left, she rarely had the chance to hear those people and those stories anymore. She sighed deeply, feeling utterly bored.

Seemingly sensing Lin Xueyi's boredom, there was a knock on the door. Ye Qin'er pushed the door open and walked in, carrying some prepared snacks and refreshments.

"Xueyi, I know you're bored in your room. I brought some tea and snacks over. How about we chat together?"

"Oh, great, great! I couldn't be happier. I've been having trouble sleeping and have nothing to do."

Hearing that Ye Qin'er wanted to chat with her, Lin Xueyi was naturally overjoyed. She skipped over to the table and pulled out a chair for Ye Qin'er.

Then he sat down opposite her, looking at Ye Qin'er with anticipation, waiting for her to tell him things she didn't know, things about the martial arts world.

"Hey, Qin'er, tell me about those Grandmaster-level experts. Your Hundred Winds Pavilion must have information about Grandmaster-level experts, right?"
