Chapter 275: Chapter 275- If I Lose, Then We’ll Just Run Away Together

"I should have never suggested we went to the Coming-of-Age Ceremony."

Mar-Yue was lying face-first on her bed while Sol sat next to her rubbing her back.

They had returned to the Tribe and decided to head to Mar-Yue’s tent. It had been some time since then and all this while Mar-Yue had been crying.

Sol continued to rub Mar-Yue’s back as he said.

"It’s going to be okay; I’ll think of something."

Mar-Yue’s muffled sniffle could be heard before she said.

"You shouldn’t be the one saying that. You just have to sit tight, I’ll handle my father."

"Do you have a plan?"

"Yeah, just ignore everything he says."

Sol forced a smile and was about to say something, but a girl’s voice was suddenly heard from the tent’s entrance.

"Cousin Mar-Yue, mother said to give you this dress."

Sol got up and went to the entrance.

A petite girl who looked to be around the same age as him was seen holding a neatly folded dress.

Her hair was neatly cut into a bun, and the protective clothes she wore almost resembled those robes in Jianghu.

The girl handed Sol the dress with both hands.

Even the way she acted was someone from Jianghu.

"Thank you."

Sol instinctively reverted to Jianghu’s customs as he took the clothes from the girl.

The girl hesitated but then asked.

"Brother Sol, is Mar-Yue doing fine?"

Sol nodded.

"She’s a bit down, but I’m trying to cheer her up. Hopefully, her birthday party could contribute."

The girl nodded, and after saying goodbye she left.

Sol came back in and arriving at the bedside he placed the dress next to Mar-Yue before saying.

"That girl was worried about you."

"Her name is Mar-An, she’s Third Aunt’s second daughter."

Sol nodded but asked.

"Is she visiting from Jianghu?"

"Yeah, she’s one of the few friends I made that live in Jianghu."

"How many are there? I mean, the people that just live in Jianghu."

After a pause, Mar-Yue answered.

"I’m not sure, but recently my aunts and older cousins are choosing to leave the Eternal Desert to start a family in Jianghu. But they do come back to Tribe to live while their children come visit often."

Sol hearing this felt his heart sink a little.

’Doesn’t this mean the Barbarian Race is slowly losing its bloodline?"

Sol thought back on the Mar-An and her physique, it was obvious she didn’t have the characteristics of the Barbarian Race, except for her smooth light brown skin.

’If this continues...’

Sol’s thoughts trailed off before he released a sigh.

Looking at Mar-Yue he said.

"Come on, your birthday party has already started and everyone has gathered."

"No, I’m not going."

Hearing this, Sol sat beside her and softly said.

"Why not? If you don’t go everyone will probably be disappointed."

"Father is just going to continue trying to separate us, and I’m not prepared to see everyone who now thinks I’m the future Tribe Leader. Especially brother, I can’t image how he must feel after what happened."

"I’m sure Mar-Dule wouldn’t get mad at you for something out of your control, right? And if your father continues trying to separate us, I’ll just have to fight him for you."

Mar-Yue chuckled and lifted her head to look at Sol.

"What are you saying? He might really slap you to death if you went and did that."

"Well, I wouldn’t challenge him to an actually fight. But I’m confident in my Dan Tao Mo skills. I’ll challenge him to a match for him to approve of our relationship."

Mar-Yue sat up, an amused smile on her lips.

"And if you lose? What then?"

Sol paused, and a grin appeared on his face as he said.

"If I lose, then we’ll just run away together."

Mar-Yue couldn’t help but burst into a fit of giggles when she heard that.

"How shameless can you be?"

She said between her laughter, but Sol only smiled and observed her as she laughed.

She was really beautiful despite her age, but when she laughed it amplified her best features.

"See, you look better when you smile."

"Huh? I always look good, even when I’m angry."

Sol chuckled at that before Mar-Yue glanced down at the clothes next to her. After sighing she said.

"Let’s go."

Sol nodded before he got up and walked to the entrance of the tent.

He held his hands behind his back as he waited for Mar-Yue to change.

Not long after clothes were heard rustling as Mar-Yue took off her attire.

However, despite having such a beautiful girl without any clothes on behind him, Sol didn’t react.

He was too much in his thoughts as he stared through the gap of the tent flaps outside.

After some time, he felt two hands wrap around his waist from behind.

Sol instinctively unfurled his hands and held Mar-Yue’s own.

"Are you going to wear these clothes?"

"Why, are they bad?"

"They’re passable."

"....I’ll change into another set."

Sol said as he entered the tent and stripped.

He did it without a second thought, but after he pulled up his new pants and turned around, he saw that Mar-Yue was staring at him.

Though there wasn’t a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, but rather curiosity.

Sol tilted his head.

"What is it?"

Mar-Yue raised her hand and pointed at Sol’s torso.

"That scar, how did you get it?"

Sol glanced down and looked at the huge scar he had gotten from fighting Hyun-Joo.

It was faint but it was still visible if one looked closely.

"I received it during a fight with a Spiritual Realm cultivator."

Mar-Yue paused, then said.

"It looks gruesome, did it hurt?"

Sol wore his upper robes as he responded.

"Compared to the training I did with my Master I don’t think I’ll ever feel anything as painful, but I did almost die."

Mar-Yue expression changed at that.

"So, you like getting beaten up. Next time come to me if you have the urge to run to your death. It will benefit both of us."

After finishing wearing his upper robes, he walked to Mar-Yue as he said with a chuckle.

"You’re not the first person to say something along those lines."

"Is the other person that pretty boy?"

Sol was surprised.

"How did you know?"

Mar-Yue didn’t answer but instead grabbed Sol’s hand and led him out of the tent.

At the same time, Abdu who was on the bed, appeared on Sol’s head.
