Absorbing the Spirit Bone, Grandpa
When Dugu Bo returned, Oscar was explaining some knowledge about Immortal Herb to Dugu Yan, aiming to make her deeply understand the specialness and power of these Immortal Herbs.
Oscar's willingness to share everything with Dugu Yan stemmed not only from his desire to nurture Dugu Yan but also from his desire to win Dugu Bo's favor.
Oscar was worried that if he tried to fool Dugu Bo directly, Dugu Bo would be offended. But if he taught Dugu Yan well and made the girl happy, Dugu Bo would naturally be more agreeable.
However, when Dugu Bo saw Oscar and Dugu Yan being so intimate, his initial happiness vanished. It wasn't that he objected to Oscar and Dugu Yan being together.
Dugu Bo felt that these two young people were moving too fast; they had only known each other for a few days and were already hugging.
However, he didn't care about anything now and directly gave the Soul Spirit Bone of the Bone-Gnawing Poison Python Right Arm Spirit Bone to Dugu Yan, asking her to absorb it.
Seeing that Dugu Yan Dugu Bo did not ask any further questions. After taking the Spirit Bone, she went to another Stone House to begin absorbing Spirit Bone.
Although Dugu Yan was excited to obtain the Spirit Bone, it was not because of the Spirit Bone itself, but because her poison could be cured.
While the Spirit Bone was indeed precious, Dugu Yan was naturally more pleased with the antidote than with the detoxification itself.
Of course, Dugu Yan was also very happy to obtain a Spirit Bone that was over 20,000 years old.
Although she was the granddaughter of a titled official, she still had a concept of the preciousness of Spirit Bone. In fact, Dugu Yan felt that the reason why Dugu Bo was unwilling to tell her the origin of the Spirit Bone might be that Dugu Bo was under considerable pressure.
He didn't want to tell her because he was afraid she would worry, so Dugu Yan wisely refrained from asking further questions.
While Dugu Yan was absorbing the Spirit Bone, Dugu Bo was protecting her. After all, it was Dugu Yan's first time absorbing Spirit Bone. Although the process was not complicated, Dugu Bo was afraid that something might happen, so he stayed by Dugu Yan's side the whole time.
Although Oscar was also looking forward to seeing what Dugu Yan would look like after she was detoxified, he did not waste time waiting. While Dugu Yan was absorbing the Spirit Bone, Oscar himself went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate, striving to absorb and refine the medicinal power of the two Immortal Herb hidden in his body as soon as possible.
Time passed, and half a day went by. Oscar finished his training for the day and came to the Stone House to prepare some food. Under Shao Xin's tutelage, his cooking skills had improved considerably. While not necessarily delicious, it was at least quite tasty.
Although Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan are still in another Stone House, Oscar still prepared a meal for three people. After all, half a day has passed, and they should have absorbed a Spirit Bone by now.
Just as Oscar finished cooking and was about to start eating, the door to the Stone House next door opened, and Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan walked in. Dugu Bo looked pleased, while Dugu Yan herself looked delighted.
Oscar put down his chopsticks and asked, "How was it? How was the harvest after absorbing a Spirit Bone?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's smile widened even more, "Hehe, it feels great. I've obtained a powerful Spirit Bone Skill, and I feel that my Soul Power has increased somewhat. However, I haven't acquired my Third Spirit Ring yet, so I can't know exactly how much it has increased."
Dugu Bo nodded. "It seems that this Spirit Bone is indeed suitable for Yan Yan. With this Spirit Bone, not only can it help Yan Yan detoxify, but it will also greatly help improve her strength."
While Dugu Bo spoke, he was also thinking that if he had obtained this Spirit Bone sooner, it might have been more helpful for Dugu Yan's cultivation.
Oscar congratulated her, saying, "Congratulations, sister! Let's eat first, and then you can focus on your cultivation."
Dugu Yan chuckled, "Let me see what you've done this time?"
Then Dugu Yan came to the table and looked at the dishes on it. There were three dishes and a soup, all made from the Soul Beast. They looked tempting and smelled delicious.
Oscar served Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, and the three of them sat down around the table together.
Oscar said to Dugu Bo, "Your Excellency, in the coming period, you must first extract all the toxins from your bodies and put them into your Spirit Bone, and then you can begin treatment."
"The toxins in my sister's body are not too serious. I estimate that it will take less than a month to completely extract the toxins from her body. As for you, I estimate that it will take at least three months. Including the treatment time, I may have to stay here for at least half a year, or about a year if it is longer."
"I'm sorry to bother you during this time."
Hearing Oscar's words, Dugu Bo nodded and then said, "Speaking of which, I owe you a favor. I will try my best to make up for the time I wasted. Yan Yan also told me about the help you gave her during this time. I can see that you two young people have common topics."
"Since you'll be staying here for a while, feel free to tell me what you need or want. And you don't have to be so distant with me. I'm old, so I'll take advantage of you. If you're willing, you can call me Grandpa, just like Yan Yan does."
As Dugu Bo spoke, he put a piece of meat into his mouth. Although his words came out very calmly, they were deafening to Oscar.
It's important to know that not just anyone is qualified to call a Titled Douluo" Grandpa." Although Oscar didn't know why Dugu Bo had become so intimate with him in just half a day, even willing to address him as his grandfather and grandson.
However, Oscar is certain that Dugu Bo does have a certain level of trust in him, otherwise he wouldn't have acted this way.
Upon hearing this, Oscar put down his chopsticks and said respectfully, "Then Oscar will shamelessly call you Grandpa."
Dugu Bo smiled upon hearing this, "I heard that you grew up relying on the kindness of many families since you were a child. You don't need to be too reserved here. Just treat it as your own home. Your help to us is greater than you can imagine. I truly respect you as a junior. You can talk to me about any problems you may have in the future."
Oscar was quite moved by these words, because Dugu Bo was speaking with complete sincerity. He wasn't trying to win Oscar over, because sincerity in a person's eyes cannot be faked.
Oscar could guess that Dugu Bo's change was most likely due to Dugu Yan. For nearly a month, the person Oscar had the most contact with every day was Dugu Yan, and the two usually had a lot to talk about. Oscar had shared many things with Dugu Yan.
It seems that Dugu Yan mentioned some things to Dugu Bo after absorbing the Spirit Bone this morning. In addition, there was already some ambiguity between Oscar and Dugu Yan. Because of his love for Oscar and Oscar's excellence, Dugu Bo had this change.
"Thank you... Grandpa." Oscar and Dugu Yan replied at the same time, but one said it to his face, while the other thought it to his heart.
