The Orc World Beneath the Cliff

-01. Below the Cliff (1)

Spring is in full bloom, and the evergreen Bishan Mountain is covered with small trumpet lilies, turning it orange-red.
A green figure gallops on horseback on the mountain, cutting through the continuous red flowers. Following closely behind is a young man in red,
struggling to ride his precious horse and chasing after the green figure.

When they reach the edge of the cliff, the green figure has nowhere to retreat and finally stops, transforming into a clear human figure and dismounting.

"Qinglun!" The young man in red also dismounts and tries to approach the young man named Qinglun, but is frightened
by the other's sword pointing at him and dares not take another step forward.

Qinglun is dressed in a blue and white robe, with his hair tied up only with a blue cloth. He already looks like an immortal. The red flowers hitting his
face are nothing more than mortal objects.

However, his handsome features were filled with worldly resentment. He asked the red-clad youth sharply, "Pu Mu, have Pu
Xiang and the soldiers already caught up?"

Pu Mu nodded uneasily and said, "My third brother has brought the soldiers, but he's not here to kill you,
he..."

Qing Lun laughed twice and said, "The soldiers and swords are here. If they're not here to kill me, what else could they be?"

Before he finished speaking, Pu Xiang, whom they were talking about, arrived, followed by more than a dozen soldiers armed with swords and bows
.

Pu Xiang wore a royal blue robe and a jeweled crown, riding an expensive snow-white horse, arriving before them
dusty and weary .

The moment Qinglun saw him, time seemed to rewind to the beginning. He saw again
the blue-clad , with deep, long eyebrows and eyes, upright and dashing, yet always carrying a mischievous childlike air. They
drank and got drunk together, talking about how they would travel the world together in the future... When he was so deluded, he didn't know that the man
before him was none other than Prince Jing of Su, Pu Xiang, who had been ordered by the new emperor to take his life from the very beginning!

He thought that he was really just an ordinary merchant's son named Huangfu Xiang, as he said...

If he had known earlier, would he have ended up like this? Would he have not fallen in love with him?

Qinglun shook his head with a bitter smile, gently patting his white horse that had followed him for five years, urging it to leave. The horse, bewildered, remained motionless
. Qinglun hardened his heart, lightly slashing the horse with his sword, and cursed, "Go! I don't want you anymore
!"

After the horse left, Qinglun pointed his sword at Pu Xiang, the man who had so cruelly betrayed him. Even in
this situation, Pu Xiang remained handsome and charming in Qinglun's eyes. But Qinglun knew this man intended to kill
him, and he couldn't let him... Lost in this illusion, he coldly asked, "Pu Xiang,
what's the difference between surrendering here and committing suicide on the spot?"

Pu Xiang, already anxious, became even more agitated upon hearing Qing Lun's words and hurriedly replied, "I will plead with my brother, the Emperor.
Although murder is a grave crime in the Su Kingdom, the intention was good. You assassinated a wicked and corrupt official, merely to
make an example of him ... If I plead further, my brother will surely spare you, and might even reward you, Qian'er..."

"Don't call me Qian'er! You have no right to!" Qing Lun gritted his teeth in hatred. "If such naive words
came from Pu Mu, I could understand, but you, the dignified Prince Jing, the Emperor's right-hand man! How
could you not know that my fate is only one thing

: death? "

Seeing Pu Xiang remain silent, Qing Lun asked again, "And what about your fiancée, Princess Huining?"

Qing Lun had always known that Prince Jing had a fiancée, but he didn't know that his lover was Prince Jing himself.

All that talk of washing one's hands of the martial world, the carefree life in the Jiangnan cottage… it was all a lie, just to
watch from a fearsome assassin in the Su Kingdom to Prince Jing's male favorite, and then to a prisoner! It was all
for the sake of those "officials of the court"!

The promised journey together in the martial world was nothing but a joke.

He had no way back.

"Qinglun... I... I... I'll break off my engagement with her, rescue you, and then we'll find
a small village to live in. No one there will know us, and we'll start over..."

Lies... Qinglun angrily raised his eyes, his gaze unwavering as he looked at his once most trusted lover, saying each word clearly:
"From now on, my fate, whether in heaven or hell, will have nothing to do with you."

With that, he sheathed his sword, and just when everyone thought he was about to surrender, Qinglun unexpectedly
leaped off the cliff amidst the shouts of Puxiang and Pumu.

He could have easily used the branches and rocks at the edge of the cliff to save himself, but he didn't.
He was already utterly dead—on the cliff, there was no need for him to cling to life any longer.

Qinglun closed his eyes, emptying his mind, only wishing for a swift return to the cycle of reincarnation. But this towering cliff was like a bottomless
abyss, with no end in sight no matter how far he fell.

Even the deepest cliff has a bottom; death was inevitable.

He wondered if Pu Xiang would be heartbroken after his death, or if he would only regret missing an opportunity to gain
favor , marry Princess Huining, and live a harmonious life with several lovely children.
What a beautiful and happy picture it would be if the boys resembled Pu Xiang and the girls resembled Princess Huining…
That

beautiful picture seared Qing Lun's heart.

He was already dying; why did he have to reopen old wounds? He was truly a fool.

Soon, he felt himself sinking heavily into the deep sea, the water as light as the finest silk,
gently enveloping his body. He sank and floated, and before he could react, some unknown force
pulled him to the surface.

He opened his eyes abruptly and realized he had fallen into a black lake.

He thought he was lucky to have landed in a lake at the foot of Bishan Mountain, but looking around, all
he

saw were strange, dark trees blocking out the sunlight; there was no sign of Bishan Mountain. After climbing ashore, he subconsciously touched his silver sword. "Thank goodness, it's still here...
" He immediately cursed himself for being spineless. Wasn't this sword a gift from Pu Xiang? When they first fell in love, Pu
Xiang gave him this sword with a blue tassel, and in exchange, he gave Pu Xiang his own sword
, which Pu Xiang happily hung on a green tassel.

Thinking of this, Qinglun considered throwing the sword, named Canghai, into the lake, letting it disappear from the world forever.
However, considering he was in this strange forest, it was better to keep his weapon, so he abandoned the idea.

This forest was truly bizarre. Unlike ordinary forests,
where this one was utterly devoid of life. Qinglun, a seasoned assassin, was accustomed to
walking in the silent darkness, yet even here, he felt an unexpected chill. In

comparison, the black lake offered him a greater sense of security.

Suddenly, something moved swiftly among the trees, rustling the leaves. Qinglun quickly drew his sword, ready for action.

Sure enough, within seconds, something pounced on him like the wind. It
was faster and more ruthless than any swordsman Qinglun had ever seen. Qinglun was terrified, but his assassin's instincts allowed him to calmly and precisely thrust in
the direction , killing the

creature in time. He thought that killing it would bring him peace, but when Qinglun realized what he had killed, he
was overwhelmed by unprecedented panic and fear.

Chapter 002, The Beastman World Under the Cliff - 01, Under the Cliff (2)

The creature looked humanoid, but was emaciated, with twisted limbs and two large holes on its face. Only its
eyes rolled strangely from side to side in the black hole, making it terrifying.

It was not human! It was not any kind of creature he had ever seen!

Qing Lun staggered back two steps, completely unaware that the creature's accomplice had already opened its bloody maw on the tree behind him
, preparing to ambush him.

At the critical moment, a gray shadow pounced on the creature in time, splitting its neck in two.

It was a leopard, but this leopard was different from the usual leopards. Not only was it much stronger, but it also had
pure gray fur that was different from the usual leopards, and it did not have the usual leopard spots.

For some reason, the more Qing Lun looked at this unique gray leopard, the more beautiful
and noble .

The gray leopard growled softly, subtly announcing its victory, then excitedly ran towards Qinglun,
nudging his waist with its head like a kitten seeking affection. Seeing its cuteness, Qinglun's earlier panic vanished. He patted its
head and said, "Little cat, thank you for saving me, but do you know how to get out of here?"

Qinglun was only joking, but the gray leopard seemed to genuinely understand him, nodding.

The next second, the gray leopard transformed into a black-haired youth with a small braid in front of him.

Qinglun was stunned, almost drawing his sword to kill the demon before him.

"What...what are you?!"

"@#$%(#!)" The man uttered a string of words Qinglun couldn't understand.

Qinglun took a deep breath, calmed himself, and shook his head, saying, "I don't understand what you're saying."

The man paused, then seemed to realize something, and stiffly said to Qinglun, "I...I...take you...away...
from here."

The man's Su language was broken, but at least it was communicative. Qinglun looked around, knowing he
was unfamiliar with , and it was full of unknown creatures. He wasn't confident he could leave alone, so he had to go with this man.

But for safety, his hand gripping his sword remained ready for battle.

The man said his name was Busashu, and he lived in a nearby tribe.

Upon hearing the word "tribe," Qinglun felt something was amiss—Su had no tribes.

So, where was he now?

"You... live... in... my... tribe... is it... safe...?" Throughout the journey,
Busashu kept extending invitations to Qinglun.

"We'll see," Qinglun replied coldly, his eyes lowered.

It wasn't that Qinglun was ungrateful; it was just that he knew what was hidden in Busashu's eyes. Back then, when Puxiang
pursued him, she looked at him with similar eyes.

Thinking of this, his previously peaceful heart was suddenly pricked by a needle.

—Puxiang, you lied to me like that, and seeing me fall in love with you step by step, did you find it interesting and amusing?

No wonder you always smiled, a slight smile, a mischievous smile, a gentle smile, a deeply affectionate
smile ?

Perhaps because it really was ridiculous.

"How long will it take us to get out of this forest?" Qinglun asked.

"Soon... out of this... forest... will be... the Golden Grassland, in less than half a day...
we'll be ... at my... tribe," Busashu said with a smile.

"Oh."

Just as Bushashu had said, under his guidance, the two quickly left the forest. What appeared
before Qinglun's eyes was a golden grassland. The tall, golden grass reached his shoulders,
shimmering in the morning light, like a beautiful scene woven from golden threads.

Qinglun stared in disbelief; he had never seen anything like it in his life.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Bushashu smiled, plucked a blade of golden grass, and handed it to Qinglun, saying, "Delicious."

As an assassin, Qinglun shouldn't have accepted food from strangers, but seeing Bushashu's enthusiastic smile,
he couldn't resist taking the grass and taking a small bite.

He thought grass was just grass, nothing special, but after one bite, the golden grass was surprisingly sweet and crisp,
as delicious as fruit!

"Delicious!"

"Of course!" Seeing Qinglun laugh, Busashu also laughed.

Only then did Qinglun have the leisure to examine Busashu, who had led him out of the forest. Apart from the fact that he was transformed from a gray leopard and had some strange markings at
the corner of , he was no different from a normal man.

It was only these strange markings that reminded him of a form of punishment in the Su Kingdom, where the face of the condemned was tattooed with
their crimes , forcing them to live a life of humiliation and never be able to hold their heads high in front of others.

Had Busashu done something to have these markings tattooed on the corner of his eye?

Qinglun realized he shouldn't ask questions that reopened old wounds, so he changed his question. He tugged at Busashu's gray clothes and asked
curiously , "Bushashu, weren't you transformed from a leopard? Why aren't you naked after transforming into human form, but
wearing clothes?"

"Come to my tribe, and I'll tell you!" After saying this, Busashu transformed into a gray leopard,
crouched down, and gestured for Qinglun to sit on his back.

Qinglun was in a much better mood after eating the delicious golden grass, and Busashu's insistence on him visiting that tribe
had piqued his interest. So he readily mounted Busashu's back and said, "Since you want me to see your tribe so much,
then I'll go!"

The gray leopard roared happily and carried Qinglun towards the distant Kale tribe.
