Douluo: Reincarnated Dragon Egg, Silver Dragon King Personally Incubates

Oscar had originally been immersed in pleasure...

But he quickly came to his senses and hurriedly pulled out his hand, waving it as he said, "N-No problem, Teacher Zhao. There are so many soul beasts in Star Dou Forest. We'll definitely find one suitable for me."

"That's true..."

Although Zhao Wuji said so, he no longer wanted to go at all. He really did not want to move. He just wanted to go back, sleep properly, lie in a recliner under the sun, and have nothing to do. That was the life he wanted...

What was this now? Why did it feel like he was working a job?

"By the way, Third Brother... are you alright...?"

Just then, a voice rang out.

Ning Rongrong was the first to notice Tang San still lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious.

"It was only one punch. Was that really necessary?" Xiao Wu frowned, her face full of disgust.

"It didn't look like he even used much strength. How did he pass out?"

Zhu Zhuqing spoke indifferently as well.

Since Tang San was not handsome enough, she did not think highly of him to begin with. Naturally, she would not speak up for him.

"Hey, don't be like that. Tang San only ended up like this because of me. Tang San, are you alright? I'll give you a Recovery Sausage..." Only then did Oscar react. He hurriedly wiped his hands, condensed a large sausage with his bare hand, and quickly offered it to Tang San.

"Thank you, Oscar..."

Tang San had not actually fainted; he had merely been pretending. Now that he had finally received "treatment," he looked deeply grateful and quickly took a bite of the Recovery Sausage.

Sure enough, the moment the sausage entered his mouth, Tang San felt the burning pain in his face fade away, and he felt much better.

"Alright, everyone, find a place to rest. We'll continue later." With that, Zhao Wuji led everyone away from the area.

After all, what the eye did not see, the heart did not grieve over.

Before long, the Shrek group found a small hill and sat down together to rest.

However, everyone had their own thoughts at the moment.

Dai Mubai was growing extremely irritable from his evil fire, unable to suppress it no matter what.

Ma Hongjun felt inexplicably hungry and quietly gnawed on his rations.

Oscar found an empty corner and continued indulging in his 'Bad Habit.'

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong sat together and chatted.

Xiao Wu leaned against a large tree as well, thinking of finding an opportunity to return home and see Da Ming and Er Ming.

As for Tang San...

"Xiao Wu, why didn't you come help me up just now...?" Tang San came over and sat beside Xiao Wu, an inexplicable hint of grievance in his voice.

Under normal circumstances, Tang San would never have acted like this.

But because of the First Stirrings of Love Trait, he cared especially deeply about Xiao Wu's attitude toward him. He wanted to get closer to her, and even if he had to make up things to talk about, he still wanted to stay close to Xiao Wu.

However, Xiao Wu's attitude toward Tang San had changed drastically.

"You didn't have all four limbs chopped off. You have hands and feet, so why should I help you? Third Brother, when did you become so weak?" Xiao Wu gave Tang San an indifferent glance, her tone carrying a trace of contempt.

"Xiao Wu, you misunderstand. I just..."

Tang San immediately began stammering, unable to say anything, his face flushing bright red.

Although the First Stirrings of Love Trait made him crave love intensely and had made him realize Xiao Wu's feelings for him, Tang San had been single in both his lives and had never been in a relationship. His emotional intelligence in this regard was practically zero.

Faced with Xiao Wu's fierce "attack," he was instantly at a loss, having no idea what to say.

At the same time, he felt incredibly panicked and hurt.

After all, no one would feel good about being looked down on so much by the girl they liked most.

"Oscar, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, a curious cry came from nearby.

Everyone instinctively turned their heads and saw Oscar sitting in the corner.

"N-Nothing. It was just a little itchy, so I scratched it..."

Oscar's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly pulled out his hand.

"Eww, Oscar, don't tell me you were doing that...?"

As an experienced woman, Ning Rongrong instantly understood what was happening. Her beautiful eyes widened, and her tone revealed uncontrollable disgust and revulsion.

She had just noticed that Oscar, for some inexplicable reason, had not come over to chat her up. Curious about what he was doing, she had gone to take a look—only to witness such a disgusting scene...

"N-No, Rongrong, you misunderstood. I really wasn't..." Oscar's face instantly turned red as he hurriedly tried to explain.

He did not know what was wrong with him either. He knew it was inappropriate, knew he could easily be caught, and knew it was embarrassing, but he simply could not stop himself.

But he had never expected Ning Rongrong to notice so suddenly, and his mindset nearly collapsed.

"Oscar! We're in Star Dou Forest right now. Everyone is conserving their strength, yet you..." Zhao Wuji understood what had happened as well and nearly died of anger!

Good grief, they had all been racking their brains to find a suitable soul beast for Oscar.

But Oscar was actually...

No matter how unable to resist he was, he couldn't do that sort of thing in public!

This was beyond ridiculous!

"Oscar, you're just as disgusting as Dai Mubai! Even if I, Zhu Zhuqing, starve to death, I'll never eat another one of your sausages!" Seeing Oscar like this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes immediately filled with intense disgust and revulsion.

Dai Mubai: ???

Dai Mubai, standing beside them, was utterly bewildered. Who had he offended? How had he gotten dragged into this?

Still, he found it rather strange as well. Oscar normally wasn't like this.

"When you gave Third Brother that Recovery Sausage just now, did you not wash your hands???" At that moment, Xiao Wu spotted the crucial detail.

Oscar's expression instantly froze.

"Um... I wiped them. They must be clean..." Oscar lowered his head, feeling incomparably guilty.

"Oscar, you..."

"Bleurgh!!!!"

Tang San felt as though the sky had collapsed.

He nearly threw up on the spot.

This wasn't a matter of whether it was dirty or not. It was a matter of whether it was disgusting or not.

Even as a fellow man, Tang San felt sick all over and wished he could go back right now and give himself a thorough stomach pumping!

That was fucking disgusting!

"Little San, I really didn't! The Recovery Sausage I gave you was definitely fresh. It didn't touch anything dirty. You have to believe me!"

Oscar hurried over to support Tang San.

"Little Ao, don't touch me!!"

Tang San shuddered and instantly sprang away.

One look at Oscar told him that he hadn't washed his hands, and who knew when this guy had started doing it!

It was simply too disgusting!

Seeing this, everyone else also moved away from Oscar.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu all looked extremely unpleasant, because they had eaten Oscar's sausages before.

Although it had been a long time ago, they still felt inexplicably nauseated.

"Alright, alright, that's enough resting. Let's find the soul beast quickly and head back quickly."

At this point, Zhao Wuji stepped in to smooth things over. However, he also shot Oscar a fierce glare and snarled, "Little Ao, I'll tell Flender about this!"

"I... I'm sorry..."

Oscar lowered his head, his face full of guilt and regret.

He hadn't wanted to do it either, but he just couldn't help himself.

Whenever his hand went into his pocket, he would subconsciously...

Soon, the group set off once more, heading deeper into the Star Dou Forest.

However, everyone deliberately kept their distance from Oscar, frequently glancing at his hands.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and Oscar managed to restrain himself.

In the end, everyone worked together to kill a Great Strength Bear that had reached exactly one thousand years of cultivation.

After absorbing it, Oscar successfully advanced to level 31 and gained a new Soul Skill. He could create "Strength Sausages," which increased strength by 20% for ten minutes after being consumed.

It seemed to overlap with Ning Rongrong's support, but the sausage's effect could actually stack with Ning Rongrong's buffs, making it extremely powerful.

Only...

Because of Oscar's Bad Habit, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong refused to eat Oscar's large sausages even if it killed them.

Not to mention the three girls—even Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai were extremely resistant to Oscar's sausages.

Unless Oscar washed his hands clean every time before making sausages, they absolutely would not eat even a single bite.

Zhao Wuji was helpless about this as well.

He planned to have Flender properly educate Oscar once they returned.

"Alright, since we've obtained the soul ring, let's leave quickly before night falls." With a wave of his hand, Zhao Wuji prepared to lead his students away.

Zhao Wuji truly did not want to remain here for even another moment.

Because he felt so, so tired. He didn't want to do anything at all—he just wanted to go back, sleep for ten days or half a month, and relax properly...

"Wait, Teacher Zhao. I think I need a soul ring too..." Just then, Tang San walked over and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"Little San, don't fool around. You're only level 29. What do you need a soul ring for?"

Zhao Wuji waved his hand somewhat speechlessly.

"But I'm already level 30 now."

Tang San blinked innocently at Zhao Wuji.

"What... Wait! You're level 30?!" Zhao Wuji cried out in shock. "A twelve-year-old Soul Elder! This has never happened in Shrek Academy's history!"

The way everyone else looked at Tang San changed as well.

After all, Tang San was only twelve years old!

Oscar had already broken Shrek's record by reaching Soul Elder at fourteen!

Yet Tang San had utterly smashed that record!

"That battle just now put me under a lot of pressure and allowed me to break through to level 30 directly. Come to think of it, I should thank Ye Feng for that." Tang San scratched his head, pretending to sound relaxed.

But his face was still bruised and swollen. Smiling tugged at his wounds, bringing him inexplicable, searing pain.

Still, Tang San naturally endured that bit of pain, unwilling to embarrass himself in front of Xiao Wu.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good! Little San, you've done wonderfully!" Zhao Wuji burst into hearty laughter and gave Tang San several hard pats on the shoulder, clearly brimming with pride.

Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai also looked at Tang San with a hint of envy.

After all, becoming a Soul Elder at twelve was something one could brag about for a lifetime!

Even Ning Rongrong's gaze toward Tang San shifted slightly.

However, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing did not have much of a reaction.

After all, Xiao Wu's heart had long since been filled with Ye Feng.

Even though Tang San had reached the Soul Elder rank at twelve, he was still far from being Ye Feng's match.
