However, Dugu Bo was still somewhat hesitant in his heart about whether to take Oscar to his own precious treasure trove. After all, that was the very foundation of his current strength.
But considering that Oscar could refine pills, Dugu Bo decided to take him to see it after his internal hesitation. After all, if, just in case, Oscar recognized the flowers of the medicinal herbs inside, it would mean he had something to help Dugu Yan.
He had no regrets in this life, the only thing he cared about was his granddaughter.
His family had been plagued by the poison of the Azure-Scaled Serpent, leading to him, an old man, burying a young one. Dugu Yan had grown up without the companionship of her parents.
In this life, Dugu Bo felt the most sorry for Dugu Yan. This was also why, in the original story, he doted on her so much.
Now, Oscar could also see that Dugu Bo was extremely doting on Dugu Yan. However, Dugu Yan at this stage was still innocent to the ways of the world, behaving completely like a young girl.
The aura of a "big sister" from the original story had not yet been cultivated, which was quite a nice contrast.
After all, Dugu Yan's figure and looks were absolutely top-notch. Whether it was an aloof, mature beauty or a cute, shy girl-next-door, she was quite attractive to Oscar.
Therefore, it was precisely for this reason that Oscar planned to make his move with Dugu Yan. After all, Dugu Yan's figure and appearance were also top-tier.
If he could get Dugu Yan, he might be able to get the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes while also getting a wife.
Of course, this would naturally be the most ideal outcome.
As for his original wife, Ning Rongrong, to be honest, Oscar didn't have a strong desire for her. Because if he were with Ning Rongrong, there was a high probability he would join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Even if he could follow Tang San to godhood, he wouldn't have much of a life of his own, living his entire life revolving around the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Ning Rongrong.
Because Ning Rongrong was not only Ning Fengzhi's most beloved daughter, but also his designated successor.
Dugu Yan, on the other hand, was different. She was also dearly loved by her Title Douluo grandfather, but Dugu Bo had no power of his own, so Oscar would basically not be restricted, and he would have plenty of opportunities to develop himself.
Moreover, if he were with Dugu Yan, he could enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes. And as long as he obtained the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, Oscar would no longer need to rely on Tang San or anyone else.
Looking at the original story, Tang San's true rise, or rather the foundation of his rise, was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes. Without it, Shrek Academy could not have succeeded in the tournament, and everything that followed could have changed.
So as long as Oscar got the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, his ambitions could very well be realized.
However, Oscar also knew that if he wanted to achieve his ambitions, he had less than twenty years left to develop. Because in the original story, when the Shrek Seven Devils were twenty years old, which would be when Oscar was twenty or twenty-one, the "Soul Hunt" operation would erupt.
At that time, the Spirit Hall would show its own ambitious nature, so the pressure Oscar needed to face was by no means small.
Since they were just chatting casually now, and the conversation had reached this point, Dugu Bo also nodded: "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better."
"I can't take advantage of you. If you can truly refine a suitable medicinal pill for Yan Yan, then I will agree to one of your conditions, how about that?"
Hearing this, Oscar also nodded excitedly in response.
Others might say this casually, but Dugu Bo's promise was absolutely true and effective. Anyone who has read the original story knows that Dugu Bo is clear about his loves and hates.
Although this was the real world and not the original story, Oscar could also feel the sincerity in Dugu Bo's words.
A person like Dugu Bo would never bother to tease a child like Oscar, after all, the face of a Title Douluo is extremely important.
"I don't have the medicinal herbs on hand right now, but I have a treasure trove. I'll have to trouble you for some time later and take you to see it. If you can find some suitable medicinal herbs from it to refine a pill for Yan Yan's improvement, my offer still stands." Dugu Bo said, seeing Oscar nod.
Hearing this, Oscar's mind suddenly buzzed. A treasure trove? Could it be referring to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes?
Oscar was a little flustered and excited when he heard this sentence. He originally thought he would have to use a lot of words to coax him, but unexpectedly, Dugu Bo directly said he would take him to see a treasure trove?
But to confirm whether it was what he was thinking, Oscar asked casually, "Senior's treasure trove should be in Tiandou City, right? I was planning to go to Tiandou City to look around anyway, so it would be on the way and wouldn't take up much time."
"Besides, if I can help Senior, there's no need for any conditions. After all, I'm considered a friend of Dugu Yan now, and isn't it natural for friends to help each other?"
Hearing this, Dugu Yan also smiled embarrassedly and said things like "troubling you" from the side.
Although Dugu Bo knew Oscar was being polite, of course, it could also be sincere words, but whether it was just pleasantries or what, he felt comfortable hearing it.
However, his treasure trove was not in Tiandou City, so it wasn't on the way. Dugu Bo explained, "The location of my treasure trove is not in Tiandou City, but it won't take up too much of your time, because it's right in the Sunset Forest, only half a day's journey from here."
Hearing this, Oscar nodded nonchalantly on the surface and casually replied, "That's even better."
But in reality, Oscar's heart was about to jump out of his chest. Dugu Bo's treasure trove, in the Sunset Forest, with medicinal herbs inside—was this hard to guess?
Not hard to guess at all, and there was only one answer: the Sunset Forest!
It's just that Oscar didn't expect that his way into the Sunset Forest would be so simple? Just by eating some roasted meat?
He had to remember that in the original story, Tang San was directly knocked unconscious by Dugu Bo and carried away, and he almost died in the process. The experience was truly heart-stopping.
Compared to the original story, Oscar was just too lucky. Just by eating roasted meat and chatting, he got this opportunity.
But this was also because the timing of their meeting was different. One could only say that Oscar was just incredibly lucky.
Moreover, Oscar happened to possess the traits that Dugu Bo liked, which made him have a good impression of this young man while also having some small thoughts. Thoughts determine mindset, and mindset determines action.
However, although Oscar was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't dare to show it at all on the surface. If he showed any weakness, not only would this opportunity be gone, but he might never get another one in the future.
Oscar concealed his inner thoughts and sincerely discussed some issues with Dugu Bo, who became more and more appreciative of this young man.
Not only was his talent good, but he was also so hardworking? Wasn't this the best candidate for a grandson-in-law?
