Chapter 70 Marry Me, Julian
To the public, Julian was still an ordinary Beta.
Finished
If he jumped out now and said he refused to go back because the Whitmore family would mistreat him, how many people would believe it?
Plenty of struggling imperial citizens might even think he was insane.
They might turn around and accuse him of not knowing how lucky he was.
Then Colonel Zoya Vance, who specialized in intelligence, added another piece of nauseating information.
“An informant told me Sebastian is doing this because he knows Julian offended Helen and Prince Harold. He wants to force Julian out of school and send him back to a fringe colony.”
Julian’s fingers tightened around the psychic crystal.
He and the original owner were different people.
Because of that, Julian had never planned to become enemies with the Whitmore family.
But the Whitmores had tripped him again and again.
Now they wanted to force him to drop out and leave the capital world.
This time, Julian was truly angry.
Fine.
Transfer him back.
Go ahead.
He could not make everyone
satisfied.
But making everyone dissatisfied?
That was much easier.
Just then, Orion, who had not spoken for a while, gently wrapped an arm around Julian’s trembling shoulders.
His voice was cool and calm.
“Julian, marry me”
Everyone said, “!”
Julian said, “?”
What?

Inside the top-floor recovery suite at Moonshade Recovery Estate, Julian’s head filled with question marks.
Even Caleb, the calmest and most mature person in the room, widened his eyes.
Ethan and Laurie were already checking each other’s ears.
Apparently, they would rather believe they had both developed hearing problems than believe their general had said that.
But Orion had said it.
And he had no intention of taking it back.
“Julian. Marry me.”
This time, his voice was lower.
More solemn.

But that was not the point.
The point was, they were both men.
Oh.
Julian remembered.
He was an Omega now.
Rounded up by this world’s strange logic, maybe that counted.
But that still was not the real point.
It was not as if male partners had never existed in the cultivation world.
The real point was that he and Orion had only known each other for a few days.
Julian’s mind crashed.
“What exactly do you like about me? That I’m poor? That I’m violent? That I have a sharp tongue? Or that I’m not mentally stable?”
In Julian’s opinion, even if Helen had cheated on Orion, Orion could not possibly lack Omegas.
So why him?
Looking at the little Omega’s blank expression, as if he had forgotten his own name, location, and species all at once, Orion raised a hand to his lips and laughed softly.
“Didn’t you want your sect leader to stand up for you?”
Julian said, “!”

“When I went to the black market to bring you back last night, I saw the note you saved for me. Since I’m your Sect Leader Ashfore I should naturally help my Moonridge Sect disciple solve his problem.”
Orion explained slowly.
Every now and then, his hand seemed unable to resist landing on Julian’s head.
That relaxed tone finally pulled Julian’s tangled thoughts into order.
“So you’re helping me?”
“Mm.”
Orion nodded, not making it sound like a favor.
Quentin crossed his arms.
“It’s not just that he wants to help. Across the whole empire, he may be the only one who can.”
Julian immediately looked at Quentin.
His eyes clearly said, Explain.
“You signed the guardianship authorization yourself. If you were truly a Beta, this would be troublesome but not fatal. They could interfere with your registry and property, but they probably wouldn’t bother controlling you personally.”
Quentin stopped there.
As a Beta himself, he did not feel like saying the harsh truth too plainly.
Great families did not value Betas that much.
At least, not Betas who had not yet achieved anything.
“But once you become an Omega, everything changes. To the Whitmore family, you become a strategic asset. They will do everything possible to seize control of you.”
That was already the polite version.
Omegas were physically delicate, yet their healing psychic power was irreplaceable.
To Alphas, they were medicine.
That made every Omega a top-tier resource most Alphas desired.
For any family, an Omega marriage alliance mattered greatly.
For a common-born Omega, marriage could even become the path to leap across social classes and lift their entire family.
One could easily imagine what Sebastian Whitmore would do once Julian’s Omega identity was exposed

while Sebastian still held guardianship over him.

“Little Julian, you’re smart Quentin said. “You already thought of this when you asked the General to hide your Omega identity, didn’t you?”
“Mm.”
Julian nodded directly.
“Then you should also know this. Omegas have high status in the empire, but because you’re also at the top of the insectoids’ menu, you have always had guardians.”
From birth, an Omega’s Alpha father served as their first guardian.
After marriage, that role shifted to the Omega’s Alpha spouse.
On one side, it was protection.
On the other, restraint.
Omegas enjoyed all kinds of imperial privileges. They required the most expensive psychic crystals and high-rank insectoid cores to grow. When cores were extracted for them, the protection around them had to be at the highest level.
Every part of that consumed enormous manpower, resources, and money.
