Oscar didn't pay attention to the trace of doubt in Dugu Bo's eyes. Instead, he calmly said, "Originally, I didn't intend to mention this problem. After all, we only met by chance. Although... well... although Dugu Yan really is beautiful as a flower, I really don't like meddling in others' business."
"But because of my questions, I've just made Your Eminence and Dugu Yan recall sad things again, and I can very well understand Your Eminence's feelings. So even if I offend you by saying something wrong, I still want to speak my mind."
Hearing Oscar's words, Dugu Bo reacted somewhat excitedly. Although they had only known each other for a few hours, he had gained some understanding of Oscar and knew that Oscar wasn't the type to make empty claims.
Since Oscar dared to say such things, it at least proved that he really had some views on the matter.
Dugu Yan also slowly raised her head. She naturally heard Oscar's words, what with him calling her beautiful as a flower, and even addressing her as "sister."
Although Dugu Yan wasn't quite used to the change in Oscar's form of address for her, she also knew one thing: Oscar would never make baseless claims.
"Little Oscar, what do you mean?" Dugu Bo asked somewhat nervously.
"Your Eminence, perhaps I have a way to remove the poison from you and Dugu Yan. Even if I can't remove it completely, I should be able to provide relief for you and my sister." Oscar didn't speak in absolutes, giving hope while leaving himself a way out.
Although Oscar could indeed see Dugu Bo's problem now, and had conducted many experiments on this type of issue over the years, this was his first time facing a real person, so even he didn't have absolute certainty.
Moreover, he hadn't yet entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, and didn't have the help of immortal herbs, so Oscar was leaving himself a retreat.
Hearing this, neither Dugu Bo nor Dugu Yan noticed the change in Oscar's form of address for Dugu Yan. Their minds were completely focused on Oscar's words about detoxification.
Although Oscar had personally answered, Dugu Bo still found it somewhat hard to believe.
After all, he had lived over seventy years without finding a perfect solution, yet an eleven-year-old child like Oscar had a way?
Of course, Oscar had also said that even if the poison couldn't be removed, it could be greatly relieved, but this was still enough to surprise Dugu Bo.
"Oscar, I know you're not one to make baseless claims, but I still have to tell you, this matter is not something to joke about. I've lived over seventy years. If you dare to toy with me, or try to curry favor with me through such means, even if I appreciate you greatly, I will still..." Dugu Bo became very serious at this moment, his tone becoming very earnest.
But before he could finish speaking, Dugu Yan interrupted him, "Grandpa, what are you doing? Oscar and we only met by chance. He spoke up because he couldn't bear to see our suffering. If you continue like this, won't you put Oscar in a difficult position?"
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Dugu Bo also calmed down, realizing he had been too serious. But regarding this matter, he couldn't help but be serious.
He himself didn't matter, but Dugu Yan was his only attachment now, and he couldn't tolerate any mishaps.
"Oscar, don't take it to heart. Grandpa didn't mean to threaten you. He's just too concerned about this matter..." Dugu Yan turned to look at Oscar, explaining sincerely.
Oscar and Dugu Yan looked at each other, his gentle smile still maintained. "Sister, I understand. I can understand Your Eminence's feelings. Don't worry, I'm not petty."
"And Your Eminence is right. This kind of matter is not something to joke about. I can understand Your Eminence."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan was relieved, but this time she clearly heard Oscar call her "sister." For some reason, hearing this word "sister," the sorrow in Dugu Yan's heart suddenly vanished by more than half.
Instead, she felt somewhat at a loss, her mind starting to wander: "Sister? Why is he suddenly calling me sister?!"
Oscar turned to look at Dugu Bo, his smile slowly fading, his expression becoming extremely serious. "Your Eminence, although I've only spent a short time with you, you probably understand my character. This junior wouldn't joke about such matters, and I sincerely want to help you and my sister. Although I can't guarantee success, I will definitely do my best."
Seeing Oscar's serious and sincere expression, hearing the strength in his words, Dugu Bo looked at Oscar in silence for another moment before slowly saying, "I was a bit anxious earlier. Don't take any wrong words to heart."
Dugu Bo then straightened his body and adjusted his cuffs. "Speak up. I want to hear your thoughts."
After saying this, Dugu Bo added, "Regardless of your method, consider this old man owing you a favor."
Dugu Bo meant this sincerely, because Oscar's willingness to make such suggestions despite the pressure he applied was enough to earn Dugu Bo's respect.
"Then this junior will speak." Oscar nodded and said, "Your poison has penetrated deep into your marrow. Removing it completely would be extremely difficult. I'm even somewhat surprised that even as a Title Douluo, your body has been corroded by poison to this extent yet you haven't died. The poison you've been afflicted with is not something spirit power can suppress."
"This junior's words may be disrespectful to you, but they are my doubts. Moreover, it relates to how confident I can be in detoxifying you. Please forgive me, Your Eminence."
Hearing Oscar's words, Dugu Bo didn't care about matters of life and death, because Oscar was indeed correct.
"The only two possibilities I can think of are: either you consumed some heavenly treasure, or it's due to some special external object." Oscar continued to express his thoughts.
After hearing this, Dugu Bo's doubts about Oscar being able to detoxify him and Dugu Yan decreased even further. Anyone who could speak to this extent, if Dugu Bo still doubted him, would be foolish.
Dugu Bo nodded, not intending to hide anything, because the reason he had survived until now and broken through to Title Douluo was precisely because of his treasure land. And he had already agreed to take Oscar to his treasure land.
Dugu Bo nodded, "That's right. My survival until now was indeed an accident. I inadvertently obtained a medicine garden. There's a special thing there that happens to have a good suppressive effect on my poison. And I borrowed that place's special nature to break through to Title Douluo."
Hearing Dugu Bo's explanation, Oscar naturally knew this was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, but he naturally couldn't show this now.
Oscar's face showed an expression of understanding. "If that's the case, it makes sense."
Dugu Bo asked in return, "What does this have to do with your detoxification?"
Oscar nodded, "Of course it does. If this special item can suppress your poison, then perhaps I can make use of it."
"And to remove the poison from you and Dugu Yan, I need a large amount of medicinal materials, or spirit herbs of sufficient quality."
Hearing Oscar's explanation, Dugu Bo nodded in agreement, then asked, "I don't know what kind of medicinal materials are needed. I can go search for them."
Facing this question, Oscar smiled helplessly. "The difficulty lies here. The medicinal materials I need are extremely rare, rarer even than Soul bones."
"If you can find them, Senior, I would only need two special immortal herbs to completely remove the poison from Your Eminence and Dugu Yan, with no side effects. But immortal herbs are too rare. Even as a Title Douluo, you might not be able to find them in your entire life."
Hearing Oscar's words, Dugu Bo's expression suddenly darkened, but soon he began to think, seeming to realize something.
Oscar continued, "But naturally, this is the ideal method, but for now, this junior probably cannot accomplish it."
"But Senior, you needn't worry too much. Besides this best solution, there are other methods that can greatly relieve the poison problem for you and my sister."
