Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Soul-stabilizing Root, Soul-setting Grass
"She..."
Just as they were about to enter the Gagnon Family estate, Jadiel Gagnon’s gaze inadvertently swept past the ’ice coffin’ beside Wyatt Barnes, and for the first ti, he clearly saw the face of the woman lying within.
The woman in red left a deep impression on him.
It was the woman who had been with Wyatt Barnes and his benefactor when he had almost been killed.
At that ti, he had been astonished by her peerless beauty.
Even in Northumberland, he had never seen a woman with such an outstanding appearance.
"She is the daughter of the person who saved you back then."
Wyatt Barnes looked at Winnie Roro in the ice coffin, his eyes brimming with tender love.
"The benefactor’s daughter?"
Jadiel Gagnon’s expression changed slightly, "What’s wrong with her?"
At this mont, Jadiel Gagnon began to carefully examine Winnie Roro lying in the ice coffin, and soon, he could tell that there was a thriving vitality within her body, "Is she in a deep sleep?"
"Her soul is wounded, and she is in a coma."
Wyatt Barnes sighed.
Jadiel Gagnon nodded with a solemn face, as if he sowhat understood.
"Young Master."
At this ti, Fill Bear, who had been following Wyatt Barnes, respectfully said to him, "I heard you say before that if we could find so rare ’heaven and earth treasures,’ Miss Winnie could be awakened..."
"The Gagnon Family has a heritage of ten thousand years; perhaps they possess the heaven and earth treasures that could awaken Miss Winnie!"
After Fill Bear finished speaking in one breath, his eyes were fervently fixed on Jadiel Gagnon.
His words caused Wyatt Barnes’s body to tremble slightly.
Yes.
Why hadn’t he thought of this?
The Gagnon Family was a clan with ten thousand years of heritage.
In the Cloud Skies Continent, there were only a handful of powers that had a ten-thousand-year heritage, apart from those two ancient families that stood at the peak of the Cloud Skies Continent.
Of course, Wyatt Barnes was clear in his heart that the reason he hadn’t thought of this was because he had a preconceived notion.
Through the mories of the Martial Emperor, he knew that those ’heaven and earth treasures’ were extrely rare, so rare that even the Big Treasure left behind by the Martial Emperor did not contain them.
Because of this, he subconsciously felt that those treasures, which might not even appear in the ’Inner Land,’ could not possibly exist in the ’Outer Land.’
"Jadiel Gagnon, does your Gagnon Family have ’Soul-stabilizing Root’ and ’Soul-setting Grass’?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at Jadiel Gagnon, asking urgently.
Although he wasn’t sure that the Gagnon Family possessed these two treasures that could help heal Winnie Roro’s soul, he decided to ask anyway, not wanting to miss any opportunity.
After all, the Gagnon Family had a heritage spanning ten thousand years; they might have these treasures in their collection.
"Soul-stabilizing Root? Soul-setting Grass?"
However, upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s inquiry, Jadiel Gagnon shook his head, "This is the first ti I’ve heard of these two things..."
"In that case, I’ll make arrangents for you to stay. After you’ve rested, we can go together to see the family head; perhaps the family head knows."
Jadiel Gagnon suggested.
"Hmm."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, his eyes revealing a glimr of hope.
If the Gagnon Family truly had the ’Soul-stabilizing Root’ and ’Soul-setting Grass,’ he could prepare a dicinal liquid to heal Winnie’s wounded soul in one go, enabling her to wake up again.
"Now, I just hope that my luck is really this good."
Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.
Whether it was the Soul-stabilizing Root or the Soul-setting Grass, both were extrely rare ’heaven and earth treasures’ on the Cloud Skies Continent; even the forr Martial Emperor had only seen them a few tis.
Soon, under Jadiel Gagnon’s lead, Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear arrived at a cluster of buildings on the eastern side of the Gagnon Family estate, coming to the outer area of a separate ’mansion within a mansion.’
"Second Young Master."
Outside the spacious residence, a beautiful maidservant stood, bowing respectfully to Jadiel Gagnon.
"Hmm."
Jadiel Gagnon nodded at the maidservant, then seriously said, "Starting from today, Elder Barnes will be living here... I will arrange for a few more people to co later; you must serve Elder Barnes well."
"If you cause Elder Barnes any dissatisfaction and the family head blas you, even I won’t be able to take the responsibility! Understand?"
It had to be said, Jadiel Gagnon’s words frightened the maidservant at the entrance of the mansion.
"Elder Barnes?"
Then, the maidservant’s gaze swept over Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear, eventually settling on Fill Bear.
In her eyes, the older one seed more like the ’elder.’
"Then I won’t disturb your rest."
Jadiel Gagnon nodded to Wyatt Barnes and Fill Bear with a smile, then said, "After you’ve rested, let her co to find
at my residence."
"Alright."
Wyatt Barnes and his companion nodded.
After Jadiel Gagnon departed, the maidservant breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Fill Bear with a smile, "Elder Barnes, nice to et you, I’m ’Yesenia,’ and I will be in charge of your daily needs from now on."
Fill Bear was mortified and said a bit embarrassingly, "Miss, you’ve made a mistake... My young master is ’Elder Barnes.’
Fill Bear said, glancing at Wyatt Barnes.
"Ah!"
The maidservant Yesenia was startled and then re-examined Wyatt Barnes, her pretty face filled with disbelief as she murmured, "You... you’re really Elder Barnes?"
"What, do I not look like it?"
Wyatt Barnes was also amused by the maidservant Yesenia’s teasing and joked,
"Not... not at all! Elder Barnes, I... I just find it sowhat inconceivable. Our Gagnon Family has never had an elder as young as you before."
Maidservant Yesenia hurriedly said, her autumn eyes brimming with curiosity as she took a closer look at Wyatt Barnes.
It seed she wanted to see what was different about Wyatt that allowed him to beco an elder of their Gagnon Family at such a young age, especially since he was an ’outsider elder’.
Although she was just a maidservant, she knew quite a lot about the affairs of the Gagnon Family.
The male associates from outside the Gagnon Family could only beco an ’outsider elder’ if they possessed exceptional abilities.
"Elder Barnes, please co this way."
Soon, maidservant Yesenia ca back to her senses, welcod Wyatt Barnes into the mansion behind her, and arranged accommodations for him—a spacious room.
The room was large and contained all kinds of furniture; it was the ’master bedroom’ of the mansion.
Boom!
With a raise of his hand, the ’ice coffin’ followed into the room and steadily landed on a table inside.
"So beautiful!"
Maidservant Yesenia had been aware of the ice coffin moving with Wyatt Barnes from the start, and only now did she have the chance to take a close look at it, quickly noticing the lady in red lying inside it.
The lady in red lay there, her beauty breathtaking enough to make Yesenia feel sowhat ashad in comparison.
"If there’s nothing else, you all can leave now... I would like to rest."
Wyatt Barnes said.
"Yes, Young Master."
Fill Bear respectfully responded, and then looked at maidservant Yesenia, "Girl, it’s ti for us to go."
Maidservant Yesenia ca to her senses, reluctantly shifting her gaze away from the red-dressed lady in the ice coffin and followed Fill Bear out of the room.
Fill Bear conveniently closed the room’s door for Wyatt Barnes.
"Uncle, what’s your na?"
Maidservant Yesenia asked Fill Bear.
"Fill Bear."
Fill Bear coolly replied.
"Uncle Fill Bear... do you know who the lady lying in Elder Barnes’s ice coffin is? It’s the first ti in my life I’ve seen such a beautiful woman."
Curiosity flashed in maidservant Yesenia’s eyes as she asked.
"She’s the Young Master’s woman."
Fill Bear sighed, then seeing Yesenia looked as if she wanted to ask sothing more, he preempted her: "Alright, girl, don’t ask too much... Please arrange a room for
as well."
Inside the master bedroom.
After Fill Bear and maidservant Yesenia left, Wyatt Barnes approached the ice coffin, laid his hand gently on it, and tenderly gazed at the woman lying inside—Winnie Roro.
"Winnie, you rest well... Brother Barnes will wake you up soon, I won’t let you wait too long."
Wyatt Barnes spoke softly, his voice as tender as could be.
After a mont, Wyatt Barnes changed into fresh clothes, lay down on the bed to rest, and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.
It had been a long ti since he had slept so well.
On the other hand, Fill Bear had also settled down, thanks to the arrangents made by maidservant Yesenia.
After settling Fill Bear in, maidservant Yesenia wore a puzzled look, "That Elder Barnes, where did he co from? He doesn’t seem much older than ."
"No, wait!"
Suddenly, maidservant Yesenia seed to realize sothing, her pretty face slightly changing color, "In our Gagnon Family, soone who can beco an ’outsider elder’ is either an individual of astonishing strength or an exceptionally outstanding alchemist."
"If Elder Barnes is a human, with his age, he couldn’t possibly have such powerful strength, nor could he be an alchemist qualified to be our Gagnon Family’s outsider elder!"
"That ans... he’s a ’demon’! A powerful ’demon’!"
Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat.
She had never dealt with ’demons’ in her life.
"I’ve heard that ’demons’ have strange tempers... and so demons might even transform into their true forms to eat people."
With that thought, maidservant Yesenia shivered uncontrollably.
"Yesenia!"
Suddenly, a warbler-like voice ca from outside the mansion, snapping Yesenia back to reality. Wiping the cold sweat off her face, she walked outside the mansion.
As soon as she stepped out of the main gate, she saw six maidservants walking shoulder to shoulder towards her.
"Did... did the Second Young Master send all of you here?"
Being maidservants of the sa Gagnon Family, they knew each other. Seeing the five maidservants, Yesenia’s eyes widened in shock.
As far as she knew.
Within the Gagnon Family, a typical elder’s mansion would at most accommodate two or three maidservants.
Even the head of the household’s mansion had no more than five.
But now, six had arrived at her side, making a total of seven including herself.
Seven people serving and attending to an outsider elder?
"Who exactly is that Elder Barnes?!"
At that mont, maidservant Yesenia faintly felt that sothing was amiss.
Even if that Elder Barnes was a ’Demon Emperor powerhouse,’ he couldn’t possibly be treated this well, could he?
"Yesenia, you’ll be our ’female boss’ from now on... You’re so lucky to have stumbled upon such a cushy job," said the six approaching maidservants, looking at Yesenia with envy.
This only added to maidservant Yesenia’s bafflent.
