A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

"Why not? Although the Sword Emperor killed several experts with higher cultivation levels than him all by himself back then, I also killed the leader of Liuyun Village, who was at the fourth level of the Acquired Realm, all by myself."

"Emmm, may I ask what cultivation level those experts possess?"

"Innate realm, is there even a question? Back then, the Sword Emperor, with his acquired cultivation, faced several innate realm experts alone and utterly defeated them. He is the true role model for us all."

Lin Xueyi said that if she talked to this woman about this kind of thing again, she wouldn't eat for a day. It really makes her lose sanity.

"Oh, Xueyi, don't you think I'm quite similar to that Sword Emperor? I'm also someone who can kill opponents of a higher level."

"If I help you again, I'll be a dog," Lin Xueyi thought fiercely to herself, while continuing to listen to the woman recounting her great achievements incessantly.

"Eat a piece of meat and shut your mouth right now." He took a piece of jerky from his small backpack and stuffed it into Su Mengsha's mouth, speaking fiercely as he did so.

Even though a piece of jerky was stuffed into her stomach, Su Mengsha still ate it and continued to make those "hehehe" sounds.

“I said we can see the city gates of Luo City from ahead. You don’t mean to enter Luo City like this, do you? We’ll really lose face if we do that.”

Thinking that if Su Mengsha was still like this when they entered the city, Lin Xueyi felt that she would really lose all face.

"What's there to be afraid of? If those people knew that I killed the leader of Liuyun Village despite being above my level, what would they have left besides jealousy?"

"I remember we came here for a poetry gathering, right? What use is your fighting ability?"

"Little girl, didn't I tell you that Luo City isn't just about discussing poetry and philosophy? There's also martial arts fighting. Just wait and see me battle all around here, singing all the way."

Lin Xueyi silently lowered her head. Putting everything else aside, the two white-robed men who had just passed by them were far more powerful than this woman, probably on par with the former leader of Liuyun Village.

"Tsk tsk, I thought it was someone spouting nonsense here. Oh, it's Miss Su from Flying Eagle Fortress. What, are your family not letting you get married? So they've sent you out to cause trouble instead?"

Clad in purple, with long black hair adorned with alluring makeup, and a bewitching smile playing on her bright red lips, the woman spun down and stood firmly in front of Su Mengsha and Lin Xueyi's horses.

"Hua You? I never expected to see you here."

"What, you can come to such a grand event but I can't?"

The voice could make one feel numb all over; at least Lin Xueyi felt that even as a boy, he would probably go limp for a long time after hearing Hua You's voice.

"Oh, right, I remember your family was already planning to marry you off to the young master of that cave, tsk tsk, that's really scary."

"Hua You, don't cause me any trouble here. Whatever your skills are, we'll settle them on the martial arts stage at the poetry gathering. Don't let me beat you into tears again then."

"You...you're the one who's crying. Don't think that just because you could beat me before, you can beat me now. Let me tell you, I'm already at the second level of the Acquired Realm, not much different from you."

Shaking with rage, Hua You turned and left. When she returned to the martial arts arena, she was determined to teach this despicable woman a lesson.

Looking at the girl's shivering back, Lin Xueyi felt a strange sense of sympathy for her. Putting everything else aside, she had truly experienced Su Mengsha's nagging.

"Another victim being talked about."

"Little girl, what did you just say?"

Although Su Mengsha couldn't hear Lin Xueyi's low mutterings clearly, she could sense that the girl was definitely not saying anything nice.

Say it again, let me hear it.

"Huh? I didn't say anything. I was just worried that Sister Mengsha might be in danger."

Even though I knew the girl was lying, it still warmed my heart to hear a cute little girl say she was worried about me.

"Let's go, let's hurry to Los Angeles. The plum blossoms there have recently bloomed, so we can go there to admire them."

Hmm, flower viewing, flower viewing, Su Mengsha is quite knowledgeable. Lin Xueyi thought about it and realized that flower viewing is a very good thing.

Feeling the joy of the girl in her arms, Su Mengsha rode off on her horse. As for Hua You, he was no big deal. She had defeated a master at the fourth level of the Acquired Realm, and even in Luo City, she was not afraid of disciples from various sects of her generation.

"Speaking of which, besides plum blossoms, what else does Los Angeles have?"

"Of course, I'll take you to Tinglan Tower later. There you can see the Luo River flowing near Luocheng, enjoy delicious food and wine, and listen to folk songs and storytelling. It's a very nice place."

"Then I'll be living the high life with Sister Mengsha..."

Main text: Chapter Eleven - Listening to Books

"What a formidable patriarch of Luo City! With his Thirty-Six Styles of Poetic Swordplay, the sword flashed coldly, and blood splattered everywhere. Dozens of evil demons and heretics suffered heavy casualties. Even this heretic, who had roamed Luo City for decades and whom no one dared to confront, was beaten to the point of vomiting blood and collapsing to the ground."

"Sister Su, who is this Mayaloga? He seems really powerful."

While enjoying tea and listening to storytelling in the restaurant, Lin Xueyi quietly asked Su Mengsha beside her. The two had been in Luocheng for a day, and since they had nothing to do today, Su Mengsha brought Lin Xueyi to Tingyuxuan to enjoy tea and listen to storytelling.

However, Lin Xueyi was basically a novice in the martial arts world and knew nothing about it. During the storytelling, she instantly turned into a curious child, asking all sorts of questions. Su Mengsha, on the other hand, was happy to hear Lin Xueyi's questions and answered her very patiently.

"Moye Luojia is a master of the heretical sect in Binzhou. She is said to be a master of the innate level, and even within the heretical sect, she is considered one of the top masters. It is said that she killed the leaders of several sects in Luocheng. At that time, it can be said that she suppressed the righteous sects of the entire Luocheng martial arts world so much that they could not raise their heads."

"Is he that powerful? Which heretical sect does this Mayaloga belong to?"

"She didn't belong to any sect; she was just a lone wolf. However, some evil and heretical people without any backing came looking for her. Although she didn't belong to any sect, these people made the whole of Luo City panic. Fortunately, she was eventually killed by the Luo City Ancestor with his sword."

As soon as Su Mengsha finished speaking, the storyteller ended the story.

"In the end, Mayaloga was pierced through the chest by a sword. As she died, Mayaloga angrily swore to the heavens that one day, someone would come to avenge her and slaughter the entire martial arts world of Luo City."

Lin Xueyi heard the storyteller finish recounting how she died, but in the end, it was indeed Mayalojia who said that someone would avenge her.

"Little girl, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Xueyi, who had just had her head gently patted, looked at the pretty face so close to hers and felt the warmth coming from her head, and felt her face getting hot again.

"No, nothing. I just heard that Mayaloga said someone would avenge him in the future, and I found that a bit strange."

"Oh, I thought you were thinking something else. This is just something the storyteller said on purpose, to leave suspense and entertain everyone. Who would avenge someone like that?"

Lin Xueyi tilted her head, indicating that she didn't quite understand. Seeing this, Su Mengsha continued to tell the little girl what she knew.

"Putting aside other things, as far as I know, Mayaloga once had a boy's eyes gouged out and was exiled from Luo City to fend for himself because the boy glanced at her twice."

"Huh? Is it that ruthless?"

"It's not just this, there are other things too. It can be said that the evil deeds that Mayaroga has committed are too numerous to count."

Scratching her head, Lin Xueyi expressed her incomprehension: Is doing bad things really that good? Back in the old world, she always felt that life was peaceful and everything was harmonious.

"The next episode is a romance novel about Luo Cheng. Would you like to listen to it? It's about the Luo Cheng patriarch and his lover. It's quite..."

"Huh? Romance? Never mind then, I'm outta here."

Upon hearing that the next segment was about the love gossip of the old patriarch of Los Angeles, Lin Xueyi expressed no interest. She might listen if there were a NTR character, but without that kind of content, who would care about an old man's love life?

Seeing the onlookers still waiting expectantly, Lin Xueyi got up first, picked up the remaining two pastries on the table, and walked outside.

"Sister Mengsha, I'm going out for a walk first. You can listen here by yourself."

Upon hearing this, Su Mengsha rolled her eyes at Lin Xueyi. She had already heard these stories before; the books were even kept in her study. She had only brought her here to hear them. Seeing that Lin Xueyi wasn't interested in continuing, Su Mengsha got up, habitually took Lin Xueyi's hand, and led her outside.

"Since you don't want to listen to stories anymore, I'll take you to the Book and Literature Hall in Luo City. Although it's called the Book and Literature Hall, it's actually a combined book and martial arts hall. Inside the martial arts hall, many people from the Luo City Sword Sect practice both literature and martial arts."

"It's clearly a martial arts school, but it's called Shuwen. It's really full of flaws."

"You know, the Luo City Sword Sect aims to integrate literature into martial arts, and then use martial arts to guide literature. The two complement each other, so many people in the Luo City Sword Sect learn literature while practicing martial arts. That's how the Book and Literature Hall came about."

"It's impossible to master two things at once; no wonder no innate masters have emerged."

She pouted and muttered a complaint to herself. When Su Mengsha asked her with some curiosity, Lin Xueyi just smiled and shook her head, indicating that she hadn't said anything.

"Then let's go over there and let you see what this famous library in Binzhou is really like."

"They've really embarrassed themselves in public."

Looking at the little girl who was talking to herself and muttering to herself, Su Mengsha felt that she had a lot of questions.

The restaurant and the bookstore weren't very close, but since Lin Xueyi had just finished tea and still had two pastries in her hand, she didn't buy any food on the way. Instead, Su Mengsha bought some sugar figurines or trinkets for Lin Xueyi when she saw them.

"Xiao Xueyi, this hairpin is nice, why don't you try it on?"

Su Mengsha had been disappointed by Lin Xueyi's simple attire for a long time. She was clearly a very cute and adorable girl, but she didn't like to wear any jewelry. Wasn't that a waste of the good qualities that God had given her?

Before, because we lived in a small town, we didn't have many choices. Now, naturally, we need to buy more things to dress up this little girl nicely.

"Sister Mengsha, I don't need these. Besides, at my age, it's not appropriate for me to wear hairpins."

Looking at the white jade bell hairpin in Su Mengsha's hand, Lin Xueyi broke out in a cold sweat. It was one thing for her to transform into a little girl, but to have to wear these things? No, this was absolutely unacceptable.

"What's wrong? Don't you like the gift Sister Su bought for you? How about this gold bracelet? It looks pretty nice too."

Judging from the material, it must be expensive. Lin Xueyi wondered if her sister Su was rich or something, since she didn't care about the price when spending money.

"You can choose for yourself, whether you want this hairpin or this bracelet, or you can have both."

"No, I don't want any of them. I think they look bad on me. I don't want any of them..."

Lin Xueyi, who was being pulled to try it on, voiced her resentment.

Main text: Chapter Twelve - Library

Wearing her newly bought hairpin, Lin Xueyi pouted her cute little mouth, looking unhappy. It was bad enough that she, a grown man, had to be turned into a little girl, but she was also forced to wear women's clothes and jewelry. Was there any justice in this world?

However, Su Mengsha was very happy. She felt even happier to dress Lin Xueyi up so beautifully than to dress herself up. If Lin Xueyi hadn't been so resistant, she would have bought her another emerald green parrot dress. The little dress would have made Lin Xueyi look even cuter, but the girl just didn't like it. No matter what she said, she wouldn't take it. She would rather wear a hairpin she didn't like than buy the dress.

Su Mengsha said she really couldn't understand Lin Xueyi's thoughts. She was so cute, but she just didn't like to dress up. Her clothes were so plain that it was almost an understatement. If Su Mengsha hadn't bought her some clothes and forced her to wear them, she would probably still be wearing that linen dress. How ugly!

"You silly girl, are you still angry? I'm only doing this for your own good. What girl doesn't want to look pretty?"

Please don't say that. My daughter is a self-taught girl, not a real young girl. But she can only say this silently in her heart. She wouldn't dare to say it directly. Well, even if she did, I doubt anyone would believe her.

With a slight sigh, Lin Xueyi looked at the very happy Su Mengsha and said that she really didn't know what to say about her. No matter who looked at her, she meant well.

"Alright, let's go. Don't we still need to go to the library? It's already afternoon, and if we don't go soon, it'll probably be closed for the day."

Unlike the previous world, there aren't many cities in this world where people can go out at night. Although there are some places that only operate at night, she probably wouldn't be able to get into those places.

"Hey girl, let's go. I'll show you the martial arts heroes of Luo City. Maybe you'll even meet a nice young man, and you'll learn the importance of dressing yourself up."

Lin Xueyi felt as if a big "#" had appeared on her forehead. Thinking about this Sister Su, she realized that was just her personality. In the end, she took a deep breath and silently muttered to herself, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman."

"Here you go. Take this. When we get to the library, you can't just say anything. Understand?"

Su Mengsha handed Lin Xueyi a pot of water and some roasted chestnuts before taking her hand and walking towards the library.

Like a large academy from ancient times, the existence of such a large academy in Luocheng is enough to demonstrate the power of the Luocheng Sword Sect.

Lin Xueyi followed Su Mengsha through the main gate. The two disciples standing guard outside did not stop them because they were not disciples of the Luo City Sword Sect. Instead, they politely inquired about their identities and then let them in.

As soon as she entered the main gate, she saw bamboo groves on both sides. The lush green bamboo added a touch of vitality to the academy, and the sound of reading aloud made Lin Xueyi feel as if she had come to a school rather than a martial arts school.

"Little girl, do you want to go inside and listen to them read? You're old enough to read and write, so you should go and listen to the teacher's lectures."
