Oscar didn't tell the others about Xiao Wu's matter. After all, the fewer troubles the better. Besides, he already had his own plans, so naturally, there was no need.
After Xiao Wu returned, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing noticed something slightly different about her, but nothing serious. What surprised them was that Xiao Wu suddenly became very respectful toward Oscar even changing the way she addressed him from the informal to the formal
That night, Oscar held Dugu Yan's jadelike hand as they strolled through the village. Dugu Yan tilted her head to look at him, her fairy like face carrying a hint of a smile.
"Oscar, what did you say to Xiao Wu today? Why does it feel like she's even more in awe of you?"
Oscar smiled. "Want to know?"
Dugu Yan nodded. "Of course I want to know, otherwise why would I ask you, silly?"
This was how Oscar and Dugu Yan were they kept almost no secrets from each other. To Oscar, that was what it meant to be with his woman: complete trust with no reservations, so the two could truly be in sync.
So Oscar didn't hide it. He told Dugu Yan about Xiao Wu and Tang San. After listening, Dugu Yan covered her little mouth with her hand, finding it hard to believe.
Both Tang San's identity and Xiao Wu's identity were shocking to her.
The son of the youngest Titled Douluo, and a twin spirit holder. A soul beast reborn, with extraordinary talent.
Either one of those was something most people would never encounter in a lifetime. Even though Dugu Yan was already eighteen and had matured a lot over the past two years following Oscar, she was still very surprised.
"Oscar, I think you handled it very well. Although soul beasts are indeed detestable, you're destined to walk that path in the future. Using Xiao Wu's special identity this way is not only clever but also protects her. I support you." Dugu Yan spoke seriously.
Hearing her words, Oscar wasn't surprised that his wife would say that, but he was still deeply moved.
"Thank you, big sister. It's so good to have you by my side." He pulled Dugu Yan's soft body into his embrace, speaking with heartfelt emotion.
Feeling his warmth and sincerity, Dugu Yan held him back as well. "It's not just me. Isn't Hongjun always tagging along behind you too? Just the other day he told me he wants to follow you for life but he hopes you'll help him find a wife."
At that, Oscar let go of her and shook his head speechlessly. "Don't bother with that brat."
"I think Ning Rongrong is a good match. When the time comes, we can help him pursue her."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan nodded. "Looks like we think alike."
As for Ning Rongrong, Oscar didn't have any feelings for her now. Though he wasn't a traditional man and could be attracted to beautiful women, he didn't know why, but ever since being with Dugu Yan, he barely felt any desire for other girls.
Maybe it was because Dugu Yan was just too enchanting, making every other girl seem dull in comparison.
Still, objectively speaking, Ning Rongrong was very pretty. Her figure was far inferior to Dugu Yan's, but Oscar just didn't feel anything for her.
Beyond that, he thought it through carefully. Although he could, like in the original story, pursue Ning Rongrong and if he somehow resolved things with Dugu Yan, maybe even win her over after careful thought, he realized it wasn't necessary.
Sure, being with Ning Rongrong would give him the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. But Ning Rongrong was Ning Fengzhi's precious daughter. He wouldn't necessarily support Oscar building his own power; more likely, he'd force Oscar to marry into the sect.
After all, for someone in Ning Fengzhi's position, family affection was secondary to interests.
He wasn't just a father he was a sect master. His decisions had to prioritize the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
And besides, getting their support didn't necessarily mean Oscar had to marry Ning Rongrong. Ma Hongjun could as well.
These days, Ma Hongjun followed Oscar everywhere the two were practically real brothers.
Even if Ma Hongjun might end up marrying into the sect in the future because of Ning Rongrong, he didn't have the same restrictions as Oscar.
That way, Oscar could still use Hongjun's ties to gain the sect's backing, while focusing on his own ambitions.
Oscar's ambition was quite large now. Especially after obtaining his fourth spirit ring, he had already begun making plans even achieving some results.
The "Frost Sword Sect" name was one such achievement and also the most important part.
As he walked with Dugu Yan, holding her delicate hand, Oscar suddenly realized that after being together so long, they still hadn't gone all the way!
Oscar wasn't the type to be overly rigid, insisting on waiting for marriage or anything, but somehow, over the past few years, he hadn't had time to think much about it.
Noticing his change in demeanor, Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed crimson. "L… Oscar, we still have training tomorrow!"
Her shyness amused Oscar. She was already the leader type, but in this area she was still a maiden easily embarrassed whenever the subject came up.
Oscar gently patted her hand. "I was just having some thoughts, that's all. Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."
After a pause, he smiled. "But… once things settle down a bit, let's take a trip together, hmm? It's not good for either of us to keep bottling things up."
Her face turned even redder. Just as Oscar said, she wasn't the only one restraining herself she had been holding back too.
After all, she was already eighteen, yet still a virgin.
Most importantly, Oscar was simply too attractive as a man. It wasn't just that he wanted it she wanted it too.
She had read plenty of storybooks since she was young, so she wasn't clueless. But since Oscar never initiated beyond kisses, hugs, and light caresses, she was too shy to take the lead herself.
Still, from his words just now, it seemed like her "naughty little brother" couldn't hold back anymore. Otherwise, why bring it up?
So even though her face was crimson, she answered softly: "Then… in a few days, let's go out together?"
Hearing this, Oscar gave her a playful look, then pulled her tightly into his arms, pressing his lips to hers. Dugu Yan wrapped her arms around his broad back, responding passionately.
They didn't notice that not far away, Ma Hongjun who had just asked Ning Rongrong to take a walk with him happened to see this scene.
Ning Rongrong blushed furiously and didn't dare to look much. Though she was born into a great clan, she was still a proper young lady, and her father Ning Fengzhi had shielded her from such things, so she was a little embarrassed.
Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, was used to it his teacher often showed public displays of affection.
"Junior sister, let's take the other path. We better not disturb boss and sister in law, or tomorrow we'll be in trouble." Ma Hongjun tugged at Ning Rongrong's sleeve, whispering.
Ning Rongrong nodded quickly, and the two quietly turned the other way, careful not to interrupt the affectionate Oscar and Dugu Yan.
At that moment, Oscar and Dugu Yan were lost in passion, completely unaware that the pair they wanted to match make were already growing closer and needed no meddling at all.
