A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

"Work as a maid in the City Lord's Mansion?" Lin Xueyi blinked. That would be great! She could just storm the City Lord's Mansion. She was just worried about not having a reason, and now she had a reason to take action.

For some reason, the little girl became even more delighted after hearing the name of the City Lord's Mansion. The excitement, no, it should be said, the eagerness to try, seemed to indicate that she wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion herself to ask for the person.

“Girl, wait a minute, wait a minute, listen to me. All you need to do is go to Lord Luo with your sect. I doubt he would cause trouble for you over a mere maid, especially since he just killed Liu Xuan and is unlikely to antagonize any other forces. He will definitely give you face.”

"What? No need, no need, why go through all that trouble? Just push through." Lin Xueyi completely ignored Liu Meiyan's words, simply waved her hand, and pushed the door open to walk outside.

"girl..."

However, she heard the little girl standing by the railing at the door shouting, "No matter who you are, go and tell Luo Jiushang that I, Lin Xueyi, have come here to cause him trouble. Either bring one of Wu Wenting's maids here, or come to him in person to ask for it back and see what he does."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xueyi waved her hand, sending a gust of wind that knocked down the guards who were approaching her with ill intentions. This also shocked the guests who were already in an uproar.

Perhaps intimidated by Lin Xueyi's move, none of the experts in Fenglou who were in charge stepped forward, and they even stopped some people who wanted to make a move.

Judging from the situation, they knew Lin Xueyi's status as a Grandmaster, and they wouldn't easily alert her before knowing their city lord's attitude.

Time passed quickly, mainly because of the high pressure exerted by the Grandmaster-level experts, these people dared not be slow anymore, so these maids named Wu Wenting, as well as those with similar-sounding but different characters, or whose names were similar, were all brought over.

For a moment, the people along the way were surprised that these carriages had rushed to Fenglou. Could it be that some important person had come to Fenglou again, and the beauties inside were not enough to serve him?

These people's guesses seemed to be correct to some extent, but they were still quite different from the real answer. However, when the carriage stopped in front of the Phoenix Pavilion and the women were led inside, the first one to be dumbfounded was Lin Xueyi.

"Um, um... are these all your daughters?"

Looking at Liu Meiyan, who was equally bewildered, Lin Xueyi felt that this joke had gone a bit too far. This woman had so many daughters? It didn't seem like it at all.

"No...no...the girl in the middle without a headdress is my daughter."

Liu Meiyan, who was completely confused about what kind of being she had sought and was utterly bewildered by the chaotic scene before her, was still able to find her daughter immediately.

As if by telepathy, the girl looked up in the direction of her mother, where she saw her mother standing next to a boy in white, waving at her.

"Mother."

What a pleasant surprise! I haven't seen my mother in so long, and this time I finally get to see her. And it seems like I can actually go see her this time. How could she not be happy?

"Let her come up here, everyone else leave."

Having found her target, Lin Xueyi pointed to Wu Wenting, who was about to go up but was stopped, and signaled to the people around her to take the irrelevant people away.

Running happily towards her mother, Wu Wenting didn't know how long this meeting would last; she just wanted to get to her mother as quickly as possible so she could spend more time with her.

"Mother..."

"Wenting..."

Lin Xueyi looked at the mother and daughter embracing each other, sighed slightly, and coldly swept her eyes over the onlookers upstairs and downstairs. With just one glance, she made them feel immense pressure.

They wisely chose to either leave or go back to their rooms; they simply couldn't stay outside any longer.

In the outline, I envisioned the mother dying in the end, but my heart softened, and I decided to let her live. Sigh...

Main text: Chapter 178 Wu Wenting's Surprise (Two chapters published together)

Liu Meiyan and her daughter arrived at the front of the house as if in a dream. She never imagined that one day she would come out of the brothel, and she never thought that one day she could regain her freedom.

Wu Wenting was no less capable than her mother, and arguably even more so. She never imagined that she would leave the Lord of Xiaoyao City's residence in such a state.

Lin Xueyi was speechless at the sight of these two women. Was it really necessary to be so dramatic? She hadn't done anything outrageous, so why did they have to look so incredulous the whole way here?

As for why she had to bring this woman out in the end, she realized that this woman had no intention of continuing to live. Perhaps she had just taken her daughter away today, and tomorrow the woman would find a crooked tree to hang herself from.

Although she wasn't a good person, she could still have some compassion in this kind of situation. Besides, what difference does it make whether you take one person or two? You're taking them all anyway, so it's just a side effect... well, it's more like killing two birds with one stone, a convenient side effect.

Even after being led into the mansion, Wu Wenting's mind was still filled with what had happened before; that scene had completely shattered her worldview.

"Can you guys please stop crying? You're making a mountain of water with your crying."

Lin Xueyi started with those words, but she had no idea what kind of scene she would witness afterward.

“Ms. Lin, please forgive my rudeness. It has been several months since I last saw Wenting. I am only able to meet this time thanks to your help. However, I don’t know when we will meet again after this parting, so I was a bit out of sorts. I hope you don’t mind.”

Wu Wenting understood from her mother's words that the reason she was able to meet her mother this time was because of this little girl dressed as a boy.

"Alright, enough of that. I bet you'll find somewhere to hang yourself up after I leave. Judging by your appearance, you're already determined to die."

Don't ask her how she knows; she just read it in a novel. In this situation, a mother would definitely feel she's already let her child's father down, and then, after someone takes away her only attachment, she chooses to commit suicide. This is such a cliché; doesn't she feel ashamed to bring it up?

After hearing Lin Xueyi's words, Wu Wenting looked at her mother with surprise and even fear. She noticed that her mother's eyes were indeed darting away, and she knew that her mother really thought that way and even intended to do it.

"Mom, how can you think like that? You're my only family. What will I do if you're gone..."

Why is she crying again? Lin Xueyi's head was starting to ache. She had been so direct, all to take people away, and before she could even finish her sentence, she was already crying again. Women are all made of water, that's for sure.

"Can you please stop crying? I didn't say I wouldn't take her with me. Alright, I'll see this through to the end. Just come with me and leave this place."

Before either of them could answer, Lin Xueyi jumped from the second floor, drifting down like a leaf in a gentle breeze, landing softly on the ground without making a sound.

The guards who had been watching from the entrance couldn't help but tense up when they saw this scene; such lightness skill was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Today I'm taking both of them away. I'm giving you two choices: yes or no."

Dozens of guards, all renowned experts in Xiaoyao City, could only look at each other in bewilderment under Lin Xueyi's pressure. It wasn't until Wu Wenting and Liu Meiyan came downstairs and were about to leave that their leader finally arrived, with a knife to his neck.

“Miss Lin, this is the captain of the guard of the city lord of Xiaoyao City, the Crimson Flame Scorpion - Gu Duansheng. It is said in the martial arts world that he died from poison needles and was cut off by a single tail.”

Tilting her head, she looked at the man who strode in. He was wearing black snakeskin gloves with obvious bluish-black discoloration on his fingertips, clearly indicating that he was a frequent user of poison.

No wonder some people call him Crimson Flame Scorpion; he seems to be a very troublesome character. Lin Xueyi flexed her fingers; it was clear that the other party wasn't going to cooperate, so she had to prepare herself.

Seeing Lin Xueyi's appearance, Wu Wenting was almost scared to death. Didn't this girl know the infamous reputation of the Crimson Flame Scorpion?

“Miss Lin, please don’t act rashly. This Duan Sheng of the Crimson Flame Poison Scorpion Valley once used his poisonous hands to kill dozens of righteous martial arts heroes who were chasing him before he fled into the Free and Unfettered City in these mountains. He is no ordinary person. Although he is at the peak of the Acquired Realm, his combat power can reach the Innate Realm. That is why he became the chief of guards of the city lord of Free and Unfettered City.”

"Innate Realm? That sounds impressive." Lin Xueyi shook her wrists, and just when Wu Wenting thought she had given up, she heard Lin Xueyi's voice again.

"How exactly was the selection made? Was it a success or a failure? Why can't you even reply to a single word? What kind of guards are you?"

The mocking voice caused another uproar among the crowd. The leader, however, was extremely displeased with Lin Xueyi's arrogant demeanor. Yes, he was displeased. She claimed to be a Grandmaster-level expert, but no one had ever seen her. He didn't believe the words of that cowardly Feng Kenan, who had been scared into submission.

Back then, he single-handedly killed dozens of righteous dogs, and in the end, he escaped unscathed. She's just a little girl; what's there to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, Gu Duansheng stepped forward. "Of course not. This woman is from Fenglou. To take her away, you need our city lord's order. Otherwise, even if you were a god descending to earth, it wouldn't work. Uh..."

A figure, a dragon's roar, and a cold word left everyone stunned. This expert, who could be considered one of the top twenty in Xiaoyao City, had his head blown off by this figure and a dragon's roar.

"Wrong answer, here's another chance."

"Um, Miss Lin, he didn't get a chance to say another word. His head was blown off."

Reminded by Wu Wenting's words, Lin Xueyi quickly looked up at the man she had slapped dozens of meters away. She really hadn't expected this. Wasn't it supposed to be a master comparable to a Xiantian expert? Shouldn't a Xiantian expert be as resilient as Mondley?

"No, I'm asking if this guy is really that powerful. Why are you all making him sound so strong and powerful? Some say he's one of the top experts in Xiaoyao City, some say he's a Crimson Flame Scorpion, some say he can sever a life with a single tail, but this guy can just slap someone's head off. You're telling me he's an expert? How is he an expert? Can't we just have some fun?"

Lin Xueyi was completely distraught by this situation. She had tried her best to restrain the force of her palm strike, but the person was still killed with a single slap. She had just wanted to put on a show, but now that the person was dead, her act had failed.

She was jumping up and down, angry, and the kind of person who couldn't be coaxed. Only a kiss from the young lady could bring her back to her senses. However, the young lady didn't seem to understand what Lin Xueyi was thinking at that moment, and her mind was still a complete blank.

As for the others, they felt like they were living in a dream. Their leader, who was invincible in their eyes, had his head blown off with a single slap, and the little girl was even complaining about being wronged. You killed someone, and you're still complaining? Is there no justice in this world?

Whether there's any justice or not, Lin Xueyi just felt very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable, incredibly uncomfortable. In short, she was still very angry.

"So, we're giving you another chance to choose: yes or no."

Enraged, the girl clapped her hands, and everyone around her took a few steps back in shock. Thinking it was too cowardly, some of the guards took a few more steps forward.

"Hey, you guys who are moving forward, are you going to answer me now? Tell me, are these two people going to stay here, or can they leave?"

They regretted it, they really regretted it. They should have known better than to be so reckless and take that step forward. But now the other side had a fist on their heads, and the guards felt as if their skulls might be smashed off at any moment. Cold sweat poured down their backs.

"Um... haha... we just wanted to come here..."

“I don’t care what you want to do. Either answer me, or I’ll kill you all here and take them away.”

So, was there any other choice? The guards looked at each other, unsure whether to release the man or not. If they did, they would be in deep trouble if their superiors blamed them. If they didn't agree, they would face the same fate as their leader, who was already lying on the ground.

"Haha, Master Lin, you're really bullying the younger generation. These are just ordinary guards; they can't make these decisions."

A rough laugh came from outside the door, but the person hadn't even reached the door yet. A moment later, a man's figure appeared in front of the door, making Wu Wenting's heart tremble.

"That is the city lord of Xiaoyao City—Luo Jiushang."

"Ah, you must be Luo Jiushang. What, do you want to bother me here too?"

Although she really wanted to have a big fight with this man here, she still needed to do some investigation, so she decided to let him go for now. However, there was a condition: if he didn't give her face, then she wouldn't blame her for not showing him any mercy.

"Not at all, not at all. Since Master Lin likes this mother and daughter, then I will take the liberty of giving them to you so that they can serve Master Lin well. How about that?"

"This sounds so strange," Lin Xueyi frowned slightly, but the others were in an uproar after hearing the city lord's words. This was the number one expert in Xiaoyao City, and he had just admitted defeat like that, not to mention the way he addressed him.

Grandmaster Lin, a Grandmaster! Only then did some people belatedly realize that the youngest Grandmaster-level expert was named Lin Xueyi.

Hearing that the other party was so sensible, Lin Xueyi nodded in satisfaction, "Well, not bad. As expected of the lord of a city, you know how to advance and retreat, and you can avoid danger and seek good fortune."

Lin Xueyi's smiling words made everyone gasp, but upon reflection, they realized it was perfectly normal. In the martial arts world, strength reigns supreme. If Lin Xueyi were to reside permanently in Xiaoyao City, then the city lord might very well become this grandmaster.

Regardless of what others thought, Lin Xueyi simply smiled gently, a delicate smile playing on her lips. She waved to the mother and daughter behind her.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Even after returning home, the two women were still in a daze. The unfolding events of the night had completely exceeded their expectations. Originally, Liu Meiyan thought that this young girl had powerful connections and could help her rescue her daughter.

It turns out that this powerful backer really exists, and is even stronger than the city lord's. However, this backer is actually this young girl who is not yet of marriageable age.

What surprised her most was that she had become free at this moment. She wanted to leave, but her daughter's words made her give up that idea.

Now that she has regained her freedom and can live with her daughter, she should look forward. At least when she dies, she will have something to say to Wenying, and she can tell him with confidence that she has not let her daughter down and that she raised her daughter very well in the end.

"You two can stay here for now. This is a mansion I bought myself. There are no shady people here. Find a room in the backyard for the night, and I'll have someone clean your rooms tomorrow."

There was nothing she could do; she really hadn't expected to bring back a mother and daughter after going out, so she hadn't tidied up the room much.

However, after hearing Lin Xueyi's words, Liu Meiyan was still moved to tears, and Wu Wenting was also very grateful to Lin Xueyi.

"Miss Lin, thank you for your help. We will definitely take good care of you."

"Serve me..." Lin Xueyi thought of herself wearing sexy lingerie, the two of them together in her room... emmmm, she couldn't think about it anymore. If Ruoxue found out, she'd be finished.

He shook his head vigorously. "You two can settle down here. I won't be staying here for long. You two can help me take care of this mansion."

Shrugging, Lin Xueyi felt it necessary to help the Wu family. Just then, Lin Xiaoling returned with several guards, driving a carriage. On the carriage lay a corpse covered with a straw mat. Lin Xueyi's heart tightened. She took a deep breath.

I read some comments saying the protagonist is still pretending to be weak, emmmm, I (the author) don't know how to stop pretending to be weak anymore. However, I recently watched a episode of "The Daily Life of the Immortal King," and it was truly disgusting. He only started acting up after the female lead was killed. I don't know if the protagonist or the author is toxic, but I unfollowed him for the second season. Compared to "The Immortal King," I think this protagonist is alright; he never hesitates to beat people up...
