A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Are you disappointed in them? Not really. You just hope they can work harder. If even one of them could have half of Ling Xue's cultivation level, the strength of their Jade Spirit Sword Sect would increase significantly.

"Understood, Sect Leader."

Watching the group slowly depart, Xin Qingluo instead looked towards the couple on the deck not far away, noticing the tender, watery gaze her disciple gave Ling Xue. Worry was evident in her eyes.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it, otherwise, this is a tragic fate."

Main Text: Chapter 213 Reaching the Shore

A few days later, Lin Xueyi and the others saw the dock that the Jade Spirit Sword Sect was going to reach this time—Meiwu in Zhongzhou, which was also the dock closest to the center of Zhongzhou and where the Holy Dragon Palace was located.

There, the people of the Jade Spirit Sword Sect had quickly unloaded a large amount of supplies from the ships, and then bought a number of horse-drawn carriages from a car dealership to transport the goods. Only then were all the supplies unloaded from the two Fujian ships.

"Young master, why don't you come with us? It'll be good to have someone to look after you."

Standing beneath the Fuzhou ship, Lin Xueyi was still struggling with whether to go to the Holy Dragon Palace or the Netherworld Ghost Valley. However, she no longer needed to struggle with it. Ge Xinyao's question made her sigh slightly.

"I... I'll go with you."

It wasn't that she couldn't bear to refuse, but she was also worried that after she left, they might really not be able to reach the Holy Dragon Palace. She didn't know how far the journey was, but if there were people blocking their way, then these people really wouldn't be able to reach the Holy Dragon Palace.

"Okay, I'll go with you. Otherwise you might not make it there and die halfway."

"What you're saying? We're not that miserable." Hearing that Lin Xueyi would come with her, Ge Xinyao felt a sense of relief for some reason. She happily took his hand and led him toward her master.

Seeing her disciple leading Ling Xue, also known as Lin Xueyi, towards her, her worried gaze deepened. She couldn't fathom the other's identity. A young master with such cultivation must have a powerful force behind him; she didn't even dare to imagine it. But her disciple's heart...

"Master, Young Master Ling said he wants to come with us."

Seeing her apprentice so happy, Xin Qingluo felt that even if there were difficulties, she should try her best to fight for her apprentice.

“I know. Go and get a carriage for Young Master Ling. We can ride horses or take a regular carriage, but Young Master Ling can’t. Go ahead.”

"Okay, I'll take him to find a carriage he likes right away." Hearing her master's approval, Ge Xinyao happily tried to lead Lin Xueyi to the carriage shop. But Lin Xueyi pulled her hand away.

"Sect Leader Xin, you don't have much money left, do you? You still need to rent a car for me. Aren't you worried that your money won't be enough to support the Holy Dragon Palace?"

Lin Xueyi's words were quite blunt. They had only shared a boat with Lin Xueyi because they didn't have enough money, and now they were even renting her a carriage, which was no ordinary price.

"I still have some jewelry that I can sell."

Sure enough, the content of the novel actually appeared in front of her, but she dared not accept this kindness. "I still have money. I can pay for the car rental myself. Besides, I have something to confirm at the Holy Dragon Palace, and it's on my way."

Lin Xueyi didn't say what the matter was, and Xin Qingluo didn't ask either. Perhaps in her mind, this was just an excuse Lin Xueyi made up to avoid making her pay any more money.

She remembered this kindness and secretly made a decision in her heart that she would definitely reciprocate this kindness in the future.

"Master, I'm going now. Don't worry, I know what to do."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to pull Lin Xueyi towards the carriage shop. Fortunately, not all the carriages had been handed over yet, which allowed them to cut in line and get an extra two-horse carriage.

However, Lin Xueyi was still unable to pay the fare on time this time, because Ge Xinyao had already paid the fare before that, which made Lin Xueyi even more puzzled.

"Where did you get this money?"

"Haha, I do have some savings, so you don't need to worry about that. You saved me before, so I'll pay for your fare this time. Is that okay?"

Lin Xueyi stared at the other person for a moment, then pouted and said nothing, which was taken as tacit agreement. However, she still turned her head to look at the car dealership.

Although they needed to hurry on their journey, everyone also needed to put the supplies in the car, so there was still some time for Ge Xinyao to take Lin Xueyi shopping in Meiwu. However, although it was shopping, they could only look around nearby because of the tight schedule.

but....

"Young Master Ling..."

"Um, you can just call me Xiaoxue. I feel a bit awkward being called 'Young Master' all the time."

Every time she was called that, she felt a sense of distance between them, and she was not used to it. Although it satisfied her masculine side, how should I put it, the more time they spent together, the more guilty she felt for deceiving her friend.

"Xiaoxue, that does sound rather feminine, but since you asked me to call you that, I'll call you that." Ge Xinyao naturally accepted this nickname, which proved that the two had a good relationship.

"Xiaoxue, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

As she was speaking, she quickly slipped into the crowd. Even Lin Xueyi, a master, couldn't see where she went because the crowd blocked her view.

However, Ge Xinyao quickly ran back, holding an exquisite folding fan, and placed it in Lin Xueyi's hand, saying, "I don't have much money and can't afford a nice jade pendant. I can only buy you a folding fan instead."

"For me?"

Looking at the woman with a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, Lin Xueyi was at a loss for words. She had never given her a gift before, but she never expected that the woman would give her such a big gift.

"Thank you." Taking the folding fan from the other person's hand, Lin Xueyi's face flushed slightly, but she gracefully opened the fan to cover the blush on her face.

"I love so much."

"Okay, if you like it, that's good. Let's go back. Everyone should have already moved their things. We can go back together and continue our journey."

"okay."

Once again, Lin Xueyi held Ge Xinyao's hand and looked up at the gentle woman, her long, beautiful hair flying in the air as they walked.

The members of the Jade Spirit Sword Sect watched as Ge Xinyao and Lin Xueyi rushed towards them. The male disciples, in particular, had very mixed feelings after learning that Lin Xueyi would be going to the Holy Dragon Palace with them.

Although they knew that this Young Master Ling had saved them all, his presence also drew the attention of his fellow disciples. There were already too many monks and not enough porridge, too many wolves and not enough meat; now, all the porridge and meat were going to one person's mouth. How could they possibly feel at peace with that?

"Alright, now that Xinyao and Young Master Ling have arrived, let's set off."

Xin Qingluo had already made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more. She just mentioned, "Xinyao, it's the same as always. You and Young Master Ling will ride in the carriage together. Take good care of him, do you understand?"

Although they knew this would be the result, the other women were still a little disappointed. There was nothing they could do; their cooking skills weren't as good as Senior Sister Ge's. They could only watch and be envious of such a good thing.

Main text: Chapter 214 Memories

On the wide pond road, a long convoy was slowly moving north. Many disciples of the Jade Spirit Sword Sect, carrying long swords on their backs, were eating the dry biscuits they had made the night before and drinking water as they traveled under the sun, with sweat dripping from their faces.

"Senior Brother Huo, where is this Holy Dragon Palace? It doesn't look like a dragon palace at all; it's clearly the place where the phoenix resides."

When you think of a Dragon Palace, shouldn't it be a place with water? Why is it so hot here? It doesn't look like a Dragon Palace at all.

As soon as the junior brother finished speaking, Senior Brother Huo covered his mouth and looked around warily. Only after finding nothing unusual did he speak.

"You brat, do you want to die? The Holy Dragon Palace is not something you can just talk about like that. Besides, we are on the vast plains of Central China right now. It's normal that there isn't much water. Stop spouting nonsense, do you hear me?"

Actually, he had his doubts, but this wasn't the Jade Spirit Sword Sect. If he said something that offended the Holy Dragon Palace, they wouldn't need to do anything themselves; someone would naturally come looking for trouble.

"I...I know I was wrong."

"It's good that you admit your mistake. Alright, go check how much food we have left. Let's see if we can find a town today to replenish our supplies."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of dried meat from his bag. This dried meat was not bought by him, nor by their Jade Spirit Sword Sect, but was secretly given to him by one of his junior sisters.

The young master had bought quite a lot of these in the previous town and gave two pieces to each of them. She didn't eat them all and only gave one to herself. He knew how much this junior sister cared for him, but his mind was focused on Junior Sister Ge.

However, Ge Shimei's mind was now focused on that hateful Young Master Ling. Thinking of this, his eyes were fixed on the only carriage specifically for carrying people.

Inside the carriage, Lin Xueyi was not sitting upright, but was still lying on Ge Xinyao's lap. This action was so familiar that the others in the Jade Spirit Sword Sect had become accustomed to it.

Ge Xinyao placed the pastries she had made the night before near Lin Xueyi's mouth, watching her open her mouth and roll the pastries into her mouth with her tongue, enjoying them before continuing to massage her forehead.

Looking at the girl's adorable appearance, she was completely unlike the powerful woman who had single-handedly defeated four enemies that even her master found troublesome on the Fujian ship.

However, she, who had always been by his side, knew best how strong this little boy had been back then—a strength that inspired despair, and a gentleness that captivated all who beheld it.

Inside the ship, she quickly led him to escape towards the lower part of the ship, because she knew that there was a small lifeboat underneath. If she could put that small boat in the water, she could take him away from the ship.

However, just when she thought she could find the lifeboat easily, she heard mocking laughter.

"Roar! I didn't expect that crocodile to actually know about these prestigious sects. It really did let its disciple escape."

"who?"

Upon hearing the laughter, Ge Xinyao warily scanned her surroundings but saw no enemies. However, Ling Xue tugged at her arm, and before she could even react, several cold glints of light landed on the spot where she had just been standing.

Dozens of silver needles were already embedded in the spot where she had just stood. If it weren't for Ling Xue, she would probably have already become a dead soul under these silver needles.

"Who exactly is this person hiding their face? What kind of hero are they?"

"Hehehe, when did we ever say we were heroes? But since you're so beautiful, I'll reluctantly let you see me."

As she spoke, several men came into view. No, it wasn't over yet. While she was still focusing on what was in front of her, men dressed as bandits were already standing behind her.

Each of them was strong and muscular, clearly people who often ate in the water, but this also proved that she was now in the greatest crisis.

"Young Master, I'll be fighting these people in a bit. Hold them off, and you just need to run. Remember, don't stop, keep running until you get out."

Seeing the number of people, which was over a hundred, Ge Xinyao understood that there were probably not many enemies outside. As long as they went out, her master could find a way to take the young master away, so that they wouldn't implicate him.

However, her plan was easily seen through by her opponent, or perhaps it didn't even need to be seen through. Her sword didn't even block for half a minute. In just one exchange, the sword in her hand had already fallen far away.

"Tsk tsk, little girl, you'd better surrender sooner rather than later, lest I hurt your delicate skin, then things won't be so pretty."

The short man was smiling at her, and his narrowed eyes made her feel a chill run down her spine.

"The Flying Feather Cutting Flow Sword is a fast sword, said to be able to cut through rivers when it's fast. With your current skills, you still want to fight the successor of the Flying Feather Cutting Flow Sword? You're still too green."

"Is the sword you're talking about powerful?"

It was the young boy who had been protected by Ge Xinyao who spoke at this moment, but now he had a long sword in his hand, and this long sword was very familiar to everyone.

The person who had been holding the sword was now completely bewildered. "You... when did you take this sword from me?"

Tilting her head, a look of confusion on her face, Lin Xueyi calmly explained what she had just done: "I just went over there and took it from you. You can't even hold a sword properly, how are you going to make a living?"

"Kid, don't be so arrogant. I was just caught off guard and you ambushed me. You think you're so great? Well, that's all you can do. You're about to die."

Being tricked by a child infuriated Long Tao'er. He was no longer willing to hold back against the two. At that moment, the short man who had been smiling with his eyes narrowed reached out and stopped him.

"Don't go too far. If you beat them too badly, they won't feel good about it."

Eat human hearts? This person just said he wanted to eat human hearts? Ge Xinyao instantly thought of the Four Bandits of Luoshui that her master had introduced before, and she also knew the other party's identity.

"You are the Heart-Slaying Child, Da Zhonglian."

"Oh, I didn't expect this girl to know me. Haha, not bad, not bad. I don't want to kill you anymore. After all, I haven't been here for a long time. I didn't expect that a junior in the martial arts world would recognize me."

The more joyful he laughed, the sharper the cold glint in his eyes became. Ge Xinyao could clearly see that he was once again holding a silver needle in his hand, ready to attack her at any moment.

"Sigh... To be honest, I don't know how confident you are, but I do know one thing: you may have really come to the wrong place and chosen the wrong people."

Lin Xueyi raised her hand again, pinching a silver needle gleaming with a cold light between her index and middle fingers. The opponent's attack was indeed strange, and it could come out if one was not careful. But if such a trivial skill could kill people in front of her, then they were underestimating her.

What Lin Xueyi didn't notice was the expression in Ge Xinyao's eyes at that moment. Of course, she didn't deliberately think about these things either.

At this moment, she merely raised her sword and casually swung it twice, yet in Ge Xinyao's eyes, those originally invincible enemies had already fallen to the ground. This turn of events was completely unexpected. What was even more terrifying was that she simply said, "I'll be right back."
