Oscar Hits a Wall

Ning Rongrong froze, then angrily retorted, "If you don't want to sell, you don't have to say it like that."

"I'm just stating the truth. This sword is more valuable than you can afford," Ao Tian said seriously.

Ning Rongrong felt that Ao Tian was deliberately humiliating her. Furious, she turned and walked away, sitting far off and staring at the dense forest, fuming.

Both Tang San and Oscar were greatly shocked. Ning Rongrong was actually the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's head!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was one of the top three sects in the Douluo Continent, well-known and highly respected. They were naturally aware of it, but they didn't know about the sect master's daughter.

They hadn't expected the status of the girl they had been spending time with for the past few days to be so esteemed. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, one of the richest sects on the Douluo Continent, was even highly regarded by the empire due to its strength.

Did this mean that Ning Rongrong's status was no different from that of a princess in the imperial palace?

Thinking about this, Oscar's heart couldn't help but race. He, a commoner, had actually considered pursuing the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's head.

Tang San's heart was similarly unsettled. The son of a blacksmith, a village boy, and now he was becoming classmates with the daughter of one of the legendary top three clans.

Watching Ning Rongrong sitting alone, seething with anger, Oscar struggled for a moment. Eventually, he stood up and went to sit beside her.

He had decided to pursue Ning Rongrong. On one hand, she was beautiful with an elegant and generous demeanor, which made him quite infatuated. On the other hand, Ning Rongrong's prestigious status meant that even if he couldn't win her heart, it wouldn't be too embarrassing. But if he did succeed, he would become the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

To suddenly become one of the most influential figures on the Douluo Continent... the feeling was exhilarating just thinking about it.

At this moment, he remembered one of Dai Mubai's flirting tips: when a girl feels wronged, never miss the opportunity to comfort her. If done well, it could directly win the girl's favor...

Oscar took out the snacks he had prepared and offered them to Ning Rongrong, but she ignored him.

"Rongrong, don't be angry. It's just a sword. Even if it's made of gold, it's far from being as valuable as you. Ao Tian's words were a bit excessive," Oscar said.

After saying this, he glanced at Ao Tian somewhat apprehensively, afraid that Ao Tian might overhear.

Recalling the scene a few days ago when Ao Tian had shattered Dai Mubai's bones, Oscar couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine. So, when he mentioned Ao Tian, his voice became slightly lower.

Tang San was sitting relatively close to Ning Rongrong's side. Upon hearing Oscar's words, he couldn't help but interject, "Oscar, Ao Tian's sword isn't made of gold. Gold isn't as hard and sharp as what I believe that metal to be. In my opinion, it's a type of metal much more precious than gold. I'm afraid even with money, you couldn't buy it."

Tang San was speaking sincerely, but to Oscar, his words revealed a certain ignorance.

His face turned red, wanting to refute Tang San and defend himself, but he couldn't come up with a convincing argument. After all, he was completely ignorant about forging, and just now, he really thought Ao Tian's sword was made of gold.

Ning Rongrong not only felt wronged, but also angry. Now, Oscar was chattering beside her again, and she couldn't contain her fire any longer.

"Do you think a toad can eat swan meat? Go read some more books. " Ning Rongrong jeered, stood up, and walked into the forest.

"Where are you going, Ning Rongrong?" Zhao Wuji frowned.

"Can't I go take a pee? Teacher Zhao, unless you want to eavesdrop?" Angrily, Ning Rongrong didn't spare even Zhao Wuji, giving him a sarcastic remark.

Zhao Wuji's face turned red from anger, but he had to ensure Ning Rongrong's safety. He shouted at the three girls, "You three go with her."

This area had been frequented by thousand-year spirit beasts. With four girls together, they could protect themselves.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Gu Yuena stood up and followed Ning Rongrong into the dense forest.

Oscar stayed in place, his clean-shaven face turning red. After being taunted by Ning Rongrong like that, he felt like finding a hole in the ground to hide in.

He couldn't help but doubt whether the experiences Dai Mubai had imparted to him were wrong. Why was Ning Rongrong's reaction so strong?

Xiao Wu caught up with Ning Rongrong and comforted her, saying, "Rongrong, don't be angry anymore."

Ning Rongrong said, "Can I not be angry? Your man is really stingy. If he doesn't want to sell, then fine, but to say that I'm not even worth as much as a sword... isn't he deliberately trying to provoke me?"

"You really can't compare to that sword," Xiao Wu muttered.

"What did you say?" Ning Rongrong retorted, displeased.

Xiao Wu hurriedly explained, "Actually, that sword is very important to Ao Tian, and you're just an ordinary friend to him. So in his eyes, the sword is more valuable than you."

Ning Rongrong nodded, feeling that Xiao Wu's explanation made sense, and she felt a bit better.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked, "So, if I become really good friends with him, do you think he would sell me the sword?"

"Well... I'm not sure."

"Xiao Wu, how about you help me plead with him? I really like that sword, and besides, Ao Tian is a power-attack type spirit master. The sword might not be very useful to him, but it would be extremely valuable for me."

Ning Rongrong held Xiao Wu's hand and began to act spoiled.

Xiao Wu shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. The sword belongs to Ao Tian, and I have no authority to make decisions about it."

Seeing Ning Rongrong's disappointed expression, Xiao Wu couldn't help but add, "If you really want a self-defense sword, you can ask Ao Tian to help you refine one casually."

"But I just like that one," Ning Rongrong said.

"Just because that sword looks good?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Yes, that sword is just so beautiful, and its power attracts me as well. With it, I won't be a support spirit master without any attacking abilities anymore."

Xiao Wu snapped her fingers and said casually, "That's easy. You give me some money, and I'll ask him to refine an even better one for you. I guarantee it will be even more beautiful and powerful than that one."

"Really?" Ning Rongrong was a bit tempted.

"Of course, why would I lie to you? We've been living together for several days, you should know me by now," Xiao Wu said, patting her chest.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was somewhat peculiar. She wanted to laugh but managed to hold it back.

'Is Sister Xiao Wu trying to make some money again?' she thought to herself.

She had come to understand Xiao Wu a bit. If there was anything else besides eating and sleeping that attracted Xiao Wu, it was money.

In her opinion, Sister Xiao Wu was simply a little money-lover. When shopping, she would buy anything interesting she came across, whether she needed it or not. After all, it was always Ao Tian's money.

But Xiao Wu had always dreamt of having a small treasury that belonged solely to her.

"So, how much money are you asking for?" Ning Rongrong inquired.

Xiao Wu laughed until she could hardly close her mouth and said, "You can decide. In any case, its value will exceed the one Ao Tian has."

Ning Rongrong thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you a thousand gold soul coins."

"A thousand gold soul coins?" Xiao Wu exclaimed.

"Is it too little?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"No, no, it's enough!" Xiao Wu was so excited she was nearly bouncing with joy.

It wasn't because Ao Tian's sword was so valuable that she was excited, but because she was about to have a large sum of money all to herself.
