Shao Qian later asked Yu Yang why he detested drugs and forced prostitution so much. Yu Yang’s response was that he had witnessed his mother using drugs and, more painfully, seen her resort to selling herself when she couldn’t afford the drugs. Therefore, these two things were his taboos and triggers. Anyone who touched them would face dire consequences.
After saying this, both of them fell silent. After a while, Shao Qian gently patted Yu Yang’s shoulder and reassured him that everything was fine now.
Yu Yang held Shao Qian tightly in his arms, repeatedly confirming that he wouldn’t leave and making him promise to stay by his side forever.
Without hesitation, Shao Qian promised Yu Yang repeatedly that he would stay with him forever, never to part for all eternity.
In this world, Shao Qian lived from his vigorous youth to his old age. He felt that in this lifetime, he had witnessed many touching moments and experienced much joy.
The Lin brothers, who cared for each other, found a man, Zhang Yin, who was punished daily by kneeling on washboards. Moreover, after Yu Yang gained control of the entire Northwest, he established several rescue centers.
Initially, Shao Qian teased Yu Yang about the rescue centers, asking how a ruthless person like him could have such a soft spot for helping so many orphans?
What did Yu Yang say back then? He mentioned that he must have done many good deeds in his previous life to be able to meet Shao Qian in this life. In this life, he would do his best to accumulate virtue and goodness, hoping to be able to stay with his beloved in the next life as well.
Shao Qian fell silent for a long time after hearing this. He forgot how he responded to Yu Yang’s words that day, but he remembered that they spent the night doing a lot of things, so much so that he couldn’t get out of bed the next day.
In his final moments, Shao Qian held Yu Yang’s hands. Yu Yang, with cloudy eyes and several missing teeth, earnestly looked at Shao Qian. He spoke with a slight leak in his voice, “An’an, it seems I can’t see you clearly anymore.”
“Me too.” This body is already over ninety years old. Although it looks like it’s in its seventies or eighties, in reality, every organ has reached its limit. He struggled to turn his body, bringing himself closer to Yu Yang: “What do you think about turning us into porcelain dolls after we die?”
Back in the world of Song Dao, the ashes were turned into porcelain dolls and buried with Song Dao. In this world, he wanted to merge with Yu Yang, and no one should be able to separate them.
“Porcelain dolls are fragile.” Yu Yang forced a smile. “I told Ying Ying to make us an iron box, a bigger one. It must be sturdy, so it can protect our porcelain dolls.”
“Listen to you.” Shao Qian said as his consciousness became blurry. His body had reached its limit, and there was no way to hold on any longer.
In Yu Yang’s arms, Shao Qian lost his breath. Naturally, Yu Yang felt it, and he reached out with his wrinkled right hand, gently patting the body that lost its breath: “Baby, don’t leave so quickly. Remember to wait for me on the Naihe Bridge.”
That afternoon, Yu Yingying, who was serving their meal, only realized that the two embracing figures had lost their breath. The woman, already in her sixties, held back her tears, placed the meal she had prepared on the table, and then knelt in front of the two: “Big Dad, Little Dad, have a safe journey.”
Shao Qian returned to the starry sea once again, feeling a bit dazed. If it weren’t for the intermittently bright and dark starry sea before him, he might have thought that he was still with Yu Yang, sensing his presence around him.
At this realization, Shao Qian couldn’t help but smile wryly. How could there be his presence? He had tried so many methods but still couldn’t bring him back.
However, soon after, Shao Qian regained his composure. He needed to proceed to the next world. He believed that his beloved would be waiting for him in the next world.
Grabbing a floating light point around him, Shao Qian left the starry sea. However, in the gradually fading consciousness, a question flashed through his mind.
System, hadn’t it been a long time since it reminded him to restore data?
When Shao Qian woke up again, he felt like he had had a good night’s sleep. Wanting to stretch, he was met with a sudden pain in his waist and abdomen.
Wincing and holding his waist, he opened his eyes and realized he was in a place that seemed to be a forest. The trees here weren’t very tall; perhaps it was just a grove?
Nevertheless, Shao Qian didn’t dwell much on figuring out where exactly he was. He directly used his soul power to stimulate the healing of his wound. The tingling sensation was truly enchanting.
After tending to his wound, Shao Qian left that place. Now, he needed to find a safe spot to make sense of the plot in this world.
Fortunately, Shao Qian’s luck was not bad. It didn’t take him long to spot a few dilapidated houses up ahead. After cautiously probing with his soul power and confirming there was no danger, he walked inside.
The house seemed to have been standing for quite some time, accumulating a layer of dust. Shao Qian found a spot to sit cross-legged, released a bit of his soul power to remain vigilant, and then delved into the plot.
This was a world of orcs and pureblood humans. Orcs were robust, capable of transforming completely into beast forms, making them formidable in combat. Pureblood humans, on the other hand, had innate talents for more delicate and intricate crafting skills.
In this world, there were far fewer pureblood humans compared to orcs. As a result, many orcs spent their entire lives without gaining the favor of a pureblood human. In the end, quite a few orcs chose to bond together.
However, there is another kind of people caught between pureblood humans and orcs, and they are known as Half-orcs.
Half-orcs are not well-received on this planet. It could be said that in some families, if a half-beast child is born, they are either abandoned or killed.
Some cute-looking Half-orcs are even auctioned off in markets, providing entertainment for those orcs with perverse tastes.
And Shao Qian, in this identity, is one of the discarded Half-orcs, at the age of… eight.
Okay, Shao Qian felt a bit overwhelmed. Wouldn’t it be great if the system could choose the time of arrival? The original owner of this body, at the age of eight, was almost as thin as a bean sprout…
To get back on track, Half-orcs are not accepted by the people of this world. The half-orc person that Shao Qian has entered, named Diudiu, was injured after being caught stealing half a piece of bread due to hunger.
The wound on the waist and abdomen might not matter much for orcs or pureblood humans. Pureblood humans are nurtured and pampered, so they won’t suffer such injuries. Orcs, on the other hand, have strong regenerative abilities, and this type of wound might heal overnight.
But it’s different for Half-orcs. Without access to medical care, Diudiu, after being stabbed, didn’t let go of the stolen bread. Even this bread, he didn’t have the heart to eat, just wanting to bring it back to save his little companion. However, he didn’t make it to the den of his little companion; he collapsed due to exhaustion before reaching there and couldn’t get up again.
When Shao Qian first came to this world, it was not at this time. He had arrived when Diudiu was just born. He even remembered that the mother of this body was a pureblood human who, upon discovering that he was a half-orc, had him thrown away.
A newborn being thrown away, perhaps would have died on the streets. Shao Qian couldn’t remember how he survived back then, or if anyone had helped him.
Afterward, he had been wandering, getting beaten by orc children, being splashed with cold water by adult orcs, and even once almost being captured for sale.
He managed to hide until the age of seven, then, following the system’s instructions, he saved a strange little cub. Two days after saving the cub, the system issued another task – stealing a piece of bread. And because of this piece of bread, he lost his life.
After accepting the plot, Shao Qian took out the blood-stained half-piece of bread from his embrace. Touching the bloodstains on the bread, he thought to himself that he would change the world’s discrimination against Half-orcs, whether it was for Diudiu, who died stealing half a piece of bread, or for those suffering Half-orcs.
Following Diudiu’s memories, Shao Qian walked towards the place where his little companion was placed. Speaking of the little companion, it was just a strange puppy picked up by Diudiu. It was strange because the puppy was unconscious, and for days, Diudiu had been feeding him little by little with water. However, seeing the little companion’s breathing getting weaker, Diudiu took the risk to steal a piece of bread.
Diudiu was only eight years old, and his thoughts were simple. He believed that as long as the little companion ate something, it would definitely get better. But he couldn’t feed the little companion with grass or anything like that. Helpless, Diudiu thought of the idea to steal food.
When he arrived at the place, Shao Qian was surprised to find that the creature in the den was not a small puppy but a wolf cub. Moreover, judging by the color of its fur, it should be a silver wolf?
Shao Qian held the bread in his hand, squatted down, and carefully picked up the wolf cub. Then, wanting to use his soul power to check its body, he was surprised when a violent force within the wolf cub’s body fiercely counterattacked his soul power.
Startled, Shao Qian strengthened his soul power, barely controlling the violent force within the wolf cub’s body. After that, Shao Qian guided the wolf cub’s body’s turbulent energy to calm down. Once he had pacified all the energy in the wolf cub’s body, he was soaked in sweat.
After sitting for a while, wiping his forehead with his dirty sleeves, Shao Qian, looking at the wolf cub’s breathing gradually becoming smoother, breathed a sigh of relief. Placing the half-piece of bread beside its head, he then lay down not far away. Using his soul power, he cleared the impurities within his body.
The Half-orcs in this world, unlike the ones in Jesse’s world, could not transform directly into beast form after purging impurities. Shao Qian purged all the impurities from his body, allowing only the appearance of beast ears, a beast tail, and sharper nails.
When Shao Qian woke up again, he felt uncomfortable all over. The impurities removed by his soul power stuck to his already dirty clothes, making them unrecognizable.
Shao Qian used his soul power to search around, only to find that there was a water source relatively far from them. Shao Qian thought for a moment, stuffed the half-piece of bread into his embrace, then lifted the wolf cub with one hand and walked towards it. He could only see a little bit of Diudiu’s memory, so he didn’t know why Diudiu didn’t live closer to the water source.
When they arrived at the water source, Shao Qian was surprised to find out why Diudiu didn’t dare to live closer to it. There was actually a giant beast in this place?
“Kid, you’re here again?” Just as Shao Qian was on guard and prepared to deal with the beast at any time, he didn’t expect that the seemingly sleeping beast would actually speak.
The only beast-type creatures that could speak were orcs, so why would there be an orc in this place?
“Hurry up and drink, then leave quickly.” The orc rested its chin on its front paws, and its throat seemed to emit a snoring sound?
Shao Qian stood in place, observing the appearance of this orc. It looked black all over, appearance similar to a leopard, but there were patterns resembling a king on its head…
Could this be the result of the love affair between a tiger and a leopard?
