A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueyi was surprised to see that the Scorpion Gang members who had been lying together in a huddled state, looking like they had all agreed to sit up, completely no longer as weak and listless as before.

"Oh, this..."

While Lin Xueyi was at a loss for words, Ma Lechang was trembling with anger. These people, who usually treated him with utmost respect, were now all avoiding him. They even had expressions that said, "I have nothing to do with him." Did he think they would let him off the hook like that? Didn't they see the bruises on their faces?

Despite his anger, Ma Lechang still managed to sit up with difficulty. He wasn't afraid of the little girl because he believed he had powerful backers and wouldn't be afraid of ordinary forces.

“Little girl, I admit you’re good, but I, Malechang, am not to be underestimated.”

"Uh, you're still a pushover, aren't you? You've been beaten up like this."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xueyi interrupted him with an innocent-looking remark, leaving him speechless, which made Ma Lechang even more unhappy.

"Let me tell you, I also have powerful backers. Blood Demon Path, ever heard of it? That's my backer. Let's see who dares to touch a hair on my head. Hey... what are you doing? What are you doing?"

Lin Xueyi pulled a handful of hair from Ma Lechang's head and blew on his already bruised and swollen face.

"I touched your dog hair, but I didn't see anything wrong with it. By the way, Tianchou, you have a grudge against him, right? Then just take revenge, but you should let him die knowing why."

Yin Tianchou, who was suddenly called out, looked at her grandmaster in surprise. She never expected that this young girl would realize that she had a grudge against this person.

If Lin Xueyi knew what Yin Tianchou was thinking, she would tell her directly that this kind of situation was commonplace in novels, and if she couldn't guess it, she would be disgracing countless male otaku.

“Malechang, back then you colluded with other forces and drugged all of us with sleeping pills while my father was staying here, and then killed us all. Now, it’s time for you to pay for those thirty-one lives.”

"You're a descendant of the Yin family from that year... please... please don't kill me... Our Scorpion Gang was just helping out; we weren't the real mastermind. You can't seek revenge against us..."

Upon hearing that this pretty woman was actually a descendant of the Yin family, Ma Lechang, the leader of the Scorpion Gang, was instantly terrified. He truly hadn't expected that the Yin family would still have descendants.

The hand that had been raised high stopped after hearing Ma Lechang's words. He stared coldly at the man in front of him, clenching his teeth.

"Who is it? Who wants to destroy our Yin family?"

She was not very old at the time, and she only vaguely remembered that her father said that even if Rooftop Town was in chaos, they didn't need to worry. With him around, even the strongest force in Rooftop Town wouldn't dare to make a move.

But for some reason, that night was a blood-red memory for her. She couldn't forget the men in black who searched everywhere and killed her family, nor could she forget the Scorpion Gang members who carried away their belongings bit by bit from their car.

The leader of the transport team was this Ma Lechang. She had always hoped to one day kill her greatest enemy, but she also knew that her cultivation level was simply not enough.

After her mother hid her, she never returned. The screams echoed in her heart, and she knew that behind each scream was the death of her family.

In the end, if it weren't for Uncle Ma and the others helping to tidy up the inn at the innkeeper's invitation, she probably would still be hiding in that haystack. Actually, it was fortunate that the Scorpion Gang didn't dare to go too far and destroy the inn, otherwise, with a fire, she probably wouldn't have escaped her death.

At this moment, Ma Lechang's words solved the biggest mystery in her heart: who had such great ability to dare to cause trouble for their family and even wanted to wipe out their Yin family?

"I... I said you have to promise not to kill me, yes, you have to promise not to kill me."

Yin Tianchou hesitated, but driven by her thirst for the truth, she turned to Lin Xueyi pleadingly. Only after seeing Lin Xueyi nod slightly did she speak.

"Okay, I promise you, but if you dare to tell even a single lie, don't blame me for tearing you to pieces."

"No...no...don't worry, if I'm lying, I'll kill myself without you having to lift a finger." Hearing he had a chance to live, how could he possibly give it up? As for his dignity as the leader of the largest gang in Rooftop Town, he had long since thrown it all away in the face of death.

"The mastermind behind this is the Blood Demon Path. Although we don't know why they attacked you, it was the Blood Demon Path's Left Protector, Ghost Asura Tu Tianyang, who personally contacted us, hoping that we could help them wipe you out here."

Yin Tianchou found it strange. Although she didn't know the exact level of this Ghost Asura Tu Tianyang's cultivation, she knew that the Blood Demon Path's strength surpassed that of the Yin family.

So why did they want to work with the Scorpion Gang on this? Was it because they were local bullies?

When they voiced their questions, they received answers that the other party did not know. That's right, they did not know why the Blood Demon Path had come to them for help.

At that time, they were completely focused on gaining the support and protection of the Blood Demon Path, which would allow them to become a formidable force in the martial arts world. They had no time to think about why.

Even after telling everyone he knew, Ma Lechang remained kneeling before Yin Tianchou, pleadingly looking up at the long-haired girl.

"I've told you everything I know. Please let me go as we agreed before."

However, it wasn't Yin Tianchou who spoke this time, because Lin Xueyi stopped her before she could even open her mouth, saying, "Manager, I've seen you've been eager to try for a long time. Now that we've asked everything we need to ask, you can proceed. I'll have the servants handle the rest, so no one will suspect you."

As he spoke, a servant handed the shopkeeper the knife he was holding and told him where to stab him.

The shopkeeper, holding the knife, looked at the young girl in front of him with surprise. It seemed that she had already planned ahead and would not let Ma Lechang off the hook after finding out the truth.

Upon hearing Lin Xueyi's words, Ma Lechang immediately realized he had been deceived, and in his shock, he retreated repeatedly.

"No... You promised, you said you wouldn't kill me, you already promised."

Lin Xueyi tilted her head curiously to look at the face that was filled with grief and indignation—or rather, if one could see the grief and indignation in that face that had been beaten into a pig's head.

"Did I say that? Who can prove it?" His eyes swept over the crowd beside him as he spoke, and sure enough, they all looked at him blankly.

"We didn't hear Master Lin agree to anything, and Miss Yin's words don't represent Master Lin."

"Exactly, exactly. How can a little girl who hasn't even reached the Innate Realm represent a Grandmaster? Are you out of your mind?"

Looking at the words around him, which were filled with doubt about his intelligence, Malechang was momentarily at a loss for words.

All I can do is keep saying that you guys are untrustworthy. You're all such experts, how could you lie to people?

However, these words did not slow the shopkeeper down even a little. After the shopkeeper plunged the knife into Malerchang's abdomen as the servant had instructed,

He collapsed to the ground in agony, only able to watch helplessly as the terrifying little girl slowly crouched down in front of him.

“You say we’re lying, but when you committed all sorts of evil deeds, did those you killed beg for mercy? What did you do then? As the saying goes, Heaven is watching what people do. Retribution isn’t absent; it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet.”

As Ma Lechang listened to that soft, endearing voice, he thought of the ordinary people kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, the martial arts figures he had killed, and the children he had handed over to human traffickers and sold off.

Did he regret it? Perhaps. But at this point, there was no point in regretting it anymore. He knew that he had completely lost the value of living.

As Yin Tianchou watched his enemy slowly lose his life, his tightly clenched fists were enveloped by another soft hand.

Lin Xueyi had already come to her side, looking at her grand-disciple with some concern. "Alright, one enemy is over, and the other is still alive and well. You still have a lot to do. This is not the time for you to relax. Besides, you are no longer alone."

Yin Tianchou looked at his grandmaster, who was barely taller than his shoulder, and at her clear eyes, and nodded heavily. "Yes, I know. I will not let my grandmaster and master down."

Main text: Chapter 113 Leaving Rooftop Town

As the sun rises again, Rooftop Town welcomes a new day. Ordinary people get up early as usual, busy with their livelihoods, setting up stalls and going out. Little do they know that just last night, the Scorpion Gang, which had committed countless evil deeds in Rooftop Town, has become history.

Just last night, the gang was completely disbanded by Lin Xueyi and her group. The leaders were all gone. Some people may wonder why they didn't see the third brother who appeared earlier.

After examination, it was discovered that the third brother had not survived Lin Xueyi's previous palm strike and had died instantly. In Lin Xueyi's words, he died from an unknown area-of-effect attack.

Although I don't understand what AOE means, seeing Lin Xueyi's cute smile must be something that makes her happy.

"Tian Chou, you...you really don't want to come with us?"

Seeing that Yin Tianchou had accompanied her to the door but ultimately decided to stay, Lin Xueyi didn't know what to say. However, seeing that he had made up his mind, Lin Xueyi didn't try to persuade him any further.

Yin Tianchou knew her situation, but she still decided to stay in Rooftop Town for the time being. Putting aside everything else, Rooftop Town currently only has beggars like them and a mysterious assassin organization; there is no other power to speak of.

Now that she has a Grandmaster-level expert as her grandmaster and a champion who shone brightly in the Young Heroes Tournament as her master, Yin Tianchou feels that this is the perfect time to expand the influence of the beggars.

Of course, when Lin Xueyi heard that Yin Tianchou was actually going to expand the beggars' sphere of influence, she jokingly said, "You little girl, are you planning to establish a beggar gang?"

This is probably one of the reasons she stayed. The name "Beggars' Clan" is actually quite good, so she felt that she might really be able to establish a Beggars' Clan in this rooftop town and allow it to develop like other martial arts factions.

"Remember to practice the martial arts I taught you diligently, but remember not to pass them on to anyone else, understand?"

Lin Xueyi patted Yin Tianchou on the shoulder. Although she hadn't taught her in detail, she still believed that this young girl could definitely carry forward the martial arts she had passed on to her.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry."

Lin Xueyi shook her head. "Also, don't think about the Blood Demon Path until you reach the Innate Realm. Even if you do reach the Innate Realm, remember that it's not a place you can just walk into. They've been able to hold out there for so long, they must have their own strengths. Don't underestimate any enemy."

Lin Xueyi was worried that after they left, Yin Tianchou would think his cultivation was good enough and directly seek revenge against the Blood Demon Sect, which would cause problems. Therefore, Lin Xueyi felt it was necessary to remind her that revenge was something that needed time to be resolved.

Yin Tianchou stared intently at his master, whose eyes were filled with worry, and nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, I've already endured this for so long, I can continue to endure until I feel capable before I go."

Hearing Yin Tianchou's words, Lin Xueyi nodded in satisfaction and waved for everyone to leave. Then she turned to look at Uncle Ma.

"I left you two boxes of silver and several boxes of cloth. Get some clothes for everyone. And don't you have some wounded soldiers there? Get them treated."

Lin Xueyi could tell that among these beggars, there were some who possessed cultivation, although none of them were very high, but their identities were probably not simple.

They were given some silver, and it's estimated that a Beggars' Sect might actually emerge here in the future. At that time, Yin Tianchou's revenge would be even more plausible.

Watching his master leave, Yin Tianchou hesitated, but finally grabbed a box and ran over.

"Master, this is a Bodhi fruit. It is said that eating it can increase one's cultivation by a hundred years. Here... here you go."

Looking at the well-preserved box, the Bodhi fruit inside was probably also intact, but Lin Xueyi shook her head, "A hundred years of cultivation, I don't need that."

She never expected that the Bodhi Fruit, which could stir up a bloodbath in the martial arts world, would have no appeal to her master. Of course, she didn't know that Lin Xueyi really didn't care about the century-old cultivation.

When she modified the game attributes, although she didn't know how much "hundred years of cultivation" meant, even a fool could guess that the data she modified was definitely not just a three-digit number like "hundred years." Lin Xueyi now deeply understood the meaning behind that long string of 9s.

"This Bodhi fruit is probably the reason why your Yin family was wiped out by the Blood Demon Path."

Looking at the intact box, Lin Xueyi understood why the Blood Demon Path wanted to wipe out the entire Yin family; their target was probably this Bodhi Fruit.

"That's right. It is said that the Bodhi Fruit can increase one's chances of entering the Grandmaster realm. However, to eat the Bodhi Fruit, one must have a certain level of skill, and one's own knowledge must be able to help digest the enormous energy contained within it. If one cannot help absorb it, the only result will be death by explosion."

After hearing Yin Tianchou's explanation, Lin Xueyi finally understood how much of a rip-off the Bodhi Fruit was. However, she now realized that it seemed to be tailor-made for Yin Tianchou.

With a certain level of cultivation, she has now entered the Acquired Realm. The martial arts she has learned can help her absorb massive amounts of energy. The Dragon Capturing Skill really does have this ability. The true essence required for a skill that can be upgraded to the Grandmaster Realm is naturally also enormous.

"Hey, take a gamble. Maybe you can eat this Bodhi fruit yourself. Don't underestimate your future."

He said this with a smile, and those words were etched into Yin Tianchou's heart. Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Yin Tianchou quietly made a decision.

As for all this, Lin Xueyi, who had already left, was unaware of it. After getting into the carriage, she waved to the people who were seeing her off behind her before getting inside.

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Yin Tianchou let out a long sigh of relief before turning around to look at his friends, who were also future members of the Beggars' Sect.

"Uncle Ma, after I get back, I'll find a place to go into seclusion for a while. Please take good care of everyone during this time."

Now that the Beggars' Sect is to be established, Yin Tianchou needs to solidify her position. To achieve this, her cultivation level must be sufficient to intimidate others—not just those outside the sect, but also those within. Considering her master's words, she has decided to take the risk.

Main text: Chapter 114 Lin Xuerong's surprise

In Zhongzhou, inside the Holy Dragon Palace, Palace Master Lin Xuerong sought the Holy Dragon Palace's assistance regarding the Six Doors, in order to apprehend the thief Zhu Feiyan, who had recently been active in Qingzhou.

It's not that the Six Doors (a government agency) is incompetent, but this thief's lightness skill was truly remarkable. He managed to escape unscathed despite being surrounded by dozens of men, rendering their pursuit completely ineffective. Furthermore, in their haste, their own men collided, resulting in two minor injuries.

After much painful reflection, the chief constable of the Six Doors felt it necessary to seek external assistance in capturing the perpetrator. If he successfully caught him, it would be avenging his defeat; if he failed, the blame for not being able to catch the person could be shared to some extent—a win-win situation.

His biggest goal was the Holy Dragon Palace. Other forces were not enough to take the blame; it would be best if the Holy Dragon Palace, the most powerful force in the righteous path, could share the burden.

Therefore, at this moment, Lin Xuerong, the Palace Master of the Holy Dragon Palace, was here pondering whether or not to assist the people of the Six Doors in pursuing the thief from Qingzhou.

She clearly saw through the other party's intentions, and this was a perfectly legitimate scheme. If they felt they had the ability to catch the thief, they would naturally agree. As for whether they could catch him or not, with everyone's full effort, if they did, everyone would be happy; if they couldn't, then everyone would take the blame, and no one would accuse anyone of cheating anyone else.
