Chapter 270: Chapter 270- I Won’t Say It Again

Sol scratched his cheek, but he didn’t hesitate to hold Mar-Yue’s hand.

He understood her words before were meant for what would happen after she chose him.

Sol and Mar-Yue looked at Mar-Du as he continued to look at them with that expression. They felt he would do something, perhaps becoming so enraged that he slapped Sol to death out of anger, but instead, he simply glared at Sol before his figure disappeared.

When Mar-Yue saw this, she became worried.

"That isn’t like him. He wouldn’t normally back down like this, he probably hasn’t given up on separating us."

Sol nodded because just before Mar-Du left, he sent him a message with his Soul Energy.

"Leave my daughter."

He said it in a growl as if he was suppressing a volcano-like fury.

Sol smiled awkwardly. The situation had become quite complicated.

But he didn’t know why he and Mar-Yue getting together would result in the Barbarian Race losing their Giant Race bloodline.

Sol hoped it was simply because Mar-Du thought he wasn’t good enough for Mar-Yue now that she had the potential to awaken the full bloodline of the Giant Race.

However, something told him that wasn’t the case.

’Does it have something with my bloodline?’

That was the only thing Sol could think of, but he wasn’t sure where to go from there.

Suddenly, Sol felt Mar-Yue’s hand tighten around his. He turned to see that she was observing him.

"Are you... having second thoughts?"

Sol could hear the worry in Mar-Yue’s voice, so he shook his head and said.

"I ’ve already fallen in love with you, I can’t just fall out of love at the drop of a hat."

Mar-Yue smiled before she came in front of Sol and held his other hand.

Sol then took the initiative to lean down and kiss her, however, the moment his lips touched Mar-Yue’s own, he heard a familiar voice screaming in his head.

"Bastard, how dare you kiss my daughter?!"

Sol was so shocked by the voice he jerked back from the kiss and looked around with a frightened look on his face.

"What is it?"

Mar-Yue asked worriedly when she saw Sol’s reaction.

"I... It’s nothing, I thought I heard something. Do you want to go back to the Festival?"

Mar-Yue shook her head.

"It’s already so late let’s just go back to your tent. You haven’t been sleeping, that’s why your face is like that."

Mar-Yue then tugged Sol’s hand and led them back to his tent.

After they reached and entered, Sol walked over to the bed and picked up Abdu who was still sleeping.

Mar-Yue without much thought, climbed up onto the bed and lay down. Sol lay next to her and placed Abdu on his stomach.

Mar-Yue moved closer and placed her head on Sol’s chest before she reached out to pet Abdu.

Sol shifted his hand behind Mar-Yue’s head so it would be more comfortable for her. He was then about to wrap his arm around her, but a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Bastard, what are you planning to do to my daughter?"

Sol’s hand paused, and he suddenly shifted his head to look in the corner of his tent.

It was pitch black, but the moonlight filtered through the gaps of his tent flaps to slightly illuminate Mar-Du’s face.

He had that same look on his face as he glared at Sol.

Sol smiled awkwardly before he retreated his hand and placed it flat on the bed.

He then heard a snort in his mind before Mar-Du’s figure vanished from his tent.

It didn’t take long before Mar-Yue fell asleep, but Mar-Du’s appearance had unnerved Sol so much that it caused him to stay up for the majority of the night.

Only when a bit of sunlight started peering into his tent that he finally doze off. All while praying Mar-Du didn’t snap and off him in his sleep.

....

...

..

Sounds of laughter echoed out at the entrance of Sol’s tent as a few people walked by.

This caused Sol to groggily open his eyes.

"Did you get enough sleep? The adults of the tribe finally came back so everyone is making a ruckus."

Sol heard a sweet voice say into his ear, while the breath of the person tickled his neck.

Sol glanced at Mar-Yue lying next to him, and the memories of the night prior came flooding back to him.

"I’m fine."

Sol said, but Mar-Yue suddenly reached out and swept back his bangs.

"You say that, but why did the dark circles under your eyes get even worse?"

Sol smile.

"It’s my first time sleeping with someone next to me, so I was a bit nervous throughout the night."

"You don’t have any siblings?"

Sol shook his head.

Mar-Yue then said.

"After I was born, I was isolated from everyone in the Tribe. I wasn’t even told I had siblings. When it finally found out I clung to my sisters, but especially brother. I never wanted to go anywhere he wasn’t. We even shared the same tent growing up."

Sol could tell from how Mar-Dule and Mar-Yue interacted that they were close. They were twins after all.

As if remembering something, Sol said.

"Happy birthday."

Mar-Yue beamed a smile, however, her expression suddenly changed.

"Ah! I forgot!"

Mar-Yue yelled before she jumped up from the bed.

Sol held Abdu as sat up.

"Let’s go, I need to go to Third Aunt to get my dress made."

Mar-Yue pulled up Sol, who placed Abdu on his head.

After leaving the tent, Mar-Yue dragged Sol in a certain direction. But perhaps they didn’t think this through.

Immediately after they came out of the tent, everyone in the surrounding area paused to look at them.

Both adults and youths alike had surprised looks on their faces.

Sol scratched his cheek, but Mar-Yue seemed oblivious to the stares.

Sol thought everyone would misunderstand the situation, but after a moment of surprise, everyone suddenly smiled and started calling out to Mar-Yue to wish her a happy birthday.

Seeing this, Sol wondered if he had thought too deeply. He realized things were different here from Jianghu.

Jianghu upheld norms and customs that would have made Sol and Mar-Yue’s situation seem scandalous.

However, this was where the simple-mindedness of the Barbarians came in. They were surprised that Mar-Yue and Sol came out of the same tent together, but their surprise didn’t go any further than that.

And now that Sol thought about it, Sol had never seen Mar-Yue get embarrassed regarding anything.

Even when she confessed to him, she was extremely straightforward.

Since that was the case, Sol decided to not think so deeply about their situation anymore.

When he was in Jianghu, their way of doing things rubbed off on him, but now the same was happening to him in the Eternal Desert.

However, the Eternal Desert wasn’t that different from his village in the Ibbian Mountain Range, so it truly felt like Sol was reverting to how he was back then.

Sol felt happy, and he decided to put off going back to Jianghu after Mar-Yue’s birthday to check up on Little Zeel. He was going to stay here in the Tribe for a bit, do some secluded cultivation, and then return.

As Sol was in his thoughts, Mar-Yue finally came to a stop in front of a tent that was in the female section of the Tribe.

"The dress Third Aunt is making is for my birthday; do you want to come in to see me try it on?"

Before Sol could answer, he heard a growl in his head.

"Brat, I dare you to say yes."

Sol forced a smile and then said.

"I’ll wait out here, you can go in."

Mar-Yue nodded, not suspecting anything off as she turned and entered the tent.

Sol heard the voice of a woman excitedly greeting Mar-Yue, but his attention shifted to the figure that suddenly appeared next to him.

Sol looked at Mar-Du who still had that look on his face. In fact, it looked like it had gotten worse throughout the night.

Mar-Du swept his gaze across Sol and then said.

"Brat, hurry and leave my daughter. I won’t say it again."
