Chapter 1837: Chapter 1837: The Five-Year Pact
In the following days, apart from spending time with his mother ’Christina Lee’ every morning, Wyatt Barnes spent the rest of his time with his wife and child.
Holding Adonis Barnes and accompanied by Jovie Lee, Wyatt often felt like the happiest person in the world.
Of course, it would be even better if Keer and their child were here too.
"Now, I’ve found my parents and little Jovie... the only regret in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land is that I haven’t found Winnie yet. Normally, if Winnie is still in the Lower Domain and hasn’t shut herself off, she should have heard about the genius martial artist ’Wyatt’ from the Mysterious Void Manor."
"At the very least, she should come to Mysterious Void Manor to confirm if it’s me... but now, there is still no news!"
Though Wyatt’s heart has already decided to go to the Upper Domain to find Keer and their child, he still can’t let go of Winnie Romero.
He realized that even without a consummated marriage or love’s fruit with Winnie, his concern for her was no less than his concern for Keer.
If previously, Winnie’s sacrifices for him only moved him.
Now, everything had transformed into love!
"It’s also time to talk to my dad."
Thinking that Winnie might still be in the ’Lower Domain,’ Wyatt spent some more time with his wife and child, then went to find his dad ’Lanni Barnes.’
"Dad, I want to ask for your help in finding someone."
Upon meeting Lanni Barnes, Wyatt spoke directly.
"Oh? Who?"
Lanni Barnes asked.
"Winnie Romero."
Wyatt said.
"Winnie? That girl, I’ve heard Jovie mention her, a good child with feelings and righteousness... moreover, for you, she was willing to sacrifice her own life, a sentiment especially rare. But to my knowledge, you lost contact with her on the Mortal Continent, haven’t you found her until now?"
Lanni Barnes heard about ’Winnie Romero’ from Jovie, so upon hearing the name, he immediately reacted.
"I found her in the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land’s sixth-level Sacred Kingdom ’Fletcher Kingdom’... but later, when the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ was exposed, I left Fletcher Kingdom. She, worrying about my safety, followed me."
Saying this, Wyatt’s face was heavy.
"Later, I went back to Fletcher Kingdom, but she hadn’t returned there... till now, I have heard nothing about her."
Wyatt spoke heavily.
"She truly is a devoted girl..."
Lanni Barnes sighed, then looked solemnly at Wyatt, saying, "Wyatt, in life, some things are worth doing, and some are not... this girl Winnie has deep feelings for you, you cannot wrong her! In this world where respect the powerful prevails, meeting someone who is willing to sacrifice for you is rare!"
"Dad, I understand."
Wyatt nodded. Since the day he decided to embrace Winnie Romero, he committed to having an outcome with Winnie.
This life, he shall not let his beloved down!
"Alright... draw a portrait of that girl Winnie, I’ll issue orders for Mansion of Azure Clouds to search for her everywhere!"
Lanni Barnes continued.
Upon hearing this, Wyatt immediately drew a portrait of Winnie Romero.
His understanding of Winnie Romero was no less than of Keer and Jovie Lee.
Thus, the Winnie he sketched not only resembled her perfectly but even her expressions and the aura she emanated were identical to real life.
Looking at the portrait in hand, Lanni Barnes couldn’t help but shake his head and exclaim, "I truly don’t know where you get such charm, with outstanding women like this attracted to you, even willing to forsake their own lives for you! In this regard, you surpass your father."
Listening to the first half of Lanni’s statement, Wyatt felt nothing, but upon hearing the latter, he detected a hint of jealousy in his dad’s tone, instantly amused.
"Dad, don’t tell me you still want another close confidante? Should I tell mom to help you find one?"
Wyatt chuckled, asking.
"You brat, do you want a beating?!"
Hearing Wyatt’s words, Lanni’s face slightly changed, then he glared at Wyatt with some annoyance.
A moment later, he coughed twice, "I was just joking earlier... there’s no need to tell your mom about this."
"What don’t you need to tell me? Wyatt, what’s happening?"
Just as Lanni finished speaking, Christina Lee arrived unknowingly, and upon entering the room, she heard Lanni’s last sentence, immediately looking at Wyatt with inquiry.
Seeing his father’s eyes filled with anxiety, Wyatt found it amusing but decided not to expose him, "Mom, it’s nothing... just dad helping me find Winnie, and he thought there’s no need to tell you to prevent worry."
"Why wouldn’t you tell me about this? I also really like Winnie... such a devoted and righteous girl isn’t easy to find these days!"
About Winnie Romero’s situation, Christina heard Jovie mention it early on and deliberately asked Wyatt recently. She really liked Winnie.
In this world, the men she cared about most were her husband, ’Lanni Barnes,’ and her son, ’Wyatt Barnes.’ She was equally willing to sacrifice her own life for them.
Therefore, she genuinely liked the woman who was also willing to sacrifice for her son.
"Is this Winnie?"
Soon, Christina Lee also saw the portrait Lanni Barnes held, and her gaze was immediately drawn to the woman in the portrait. After a while, she couldn’t help but exclaim, "What a stunning beauty... If she were to give me a granddaughter, she would surely grow up to be a breathtaking beauty too."
Having a grandson made Christina long for a granddaughter as well.
Although she knew Keer was pregnant with her son’s child, she was not yet certain whether it was a grandson or a granddaughter.
Wyatt Barnes felt a bit awkward hearing Christina’s words. After all, they hadn’t located anyone yet, let alone made any progress towards having a granddaughter!
But since the old lady was happy, he said nothing.
"Wyatt, you asked your dad to help find Winnie... Are you planning to go to the ’Upper Domain’?"
Christina looked at Wyatt Barnes, her eyes filled with reluctance, and asked.
"Yes."
Wyatt nodded, "However, I will stay in the Lower Domain for a while longer... I plan to go to the ’Upper Domain’ only after further advancing my cultivation!"
Before heading to the Upper Domain, he first needed to refine the ’Golden Crow Wings’ to their second form and break through to the ’Great Saint Realm’s initial stage’!
By then, his strength not only would compare with those at the initial stage of the Human Saint Realm, but he also would formally start cultivating and mastering various divine abilities.
He possessed a few prominent divine abilities. Aside from the ’Golden Crow Wings’, there were three other powerful abilities: ’Minor Devouring Technique’, ’Celestial Flight’, and ’Six Harmonies Golden Body’.
Attack divine ability, defense divine ability, movement technique divine ability, support divine ability.
He had them all.
Of course, comparatively, the defense divine ability ’Six Harmonies Golden Body’, as a mid-tier divine ability, was somewhat inferior. "I’ll make do with it for now... If I can find a more advanced defense divine ability later, I’ll replace it!"
If people heard Wyatt’s words, they’d surely be infuriated to the point of spitting blood!
Anyone else would be thrilled to acquire a mid-tier divine ability, but for Wyatt, it’s something to just make do with while ready to replace it anytime.
Though Wyatt put it this way, Christina still sensed that her son wouldn’t stay in the Lower Domain for long, which intensified her reluctance.
If possible, she wished dearly for her son to be by her side.
But she also knew that was just a dream!
Her son, a strapping young man, had his own responsibilities and things that he must do!
"Natalie, please step out... I have something to say to Wyatt alone."
Lanni Barnes looked at Christina and said.
Upon hearing her husband’s words, Christina immediately realized the topic was something she was better off not hearing.
So, she straightforwardly turned and left.
She knew her son was going on another adventure... Only for such matters would her husband let her leave, so she wouldn’t worry.
"Dad, what do you have to say that even Mom can’t hear?"
Wyatt frowned.
"Your mom can’t stand it when you go off on adventures... I’m about to talk about something that would set you on a new adventure."
Lanni Barnes sighed.
"What is it?"
Wyatt asked inquisitively.
"Do you remember the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon that went on a rampage on your conquered ’Crescent Island’, destroying your ’Heaven Fortin Sect’?"
Lanni Barnes asked.
"Emperor End?!"
Upon hearing this, Wyatt’s pupils constricted, and he couldn’t help exuding a palpable killing intent.
Even though it happened long ago, he still couldn’t let go of it. All those people in his Heaven Fortin Sect perished at Emperor End’s hands... He kept that grudge in his heart, never forgetting it!
In countless dreams at midnight, he saw familiar faces urging him to kill Emperor End and avenge them!
"Yes, it’s Emperor End!"
Lanni Barnes nodded, then recounted the Five-Year Pact he made with the Dragonsmith Clan after going there, "Ten months later, the ’Five-Year Pact’ will come... Then, you will have to battle Emperor End for the chance to enter the ’Dragon Washing Pool’!"
"Dragon Washing Pool?"
Wyatt’s eyes sparkled; it was his first time hearing about it.
"The Dragon Washing Pool is the Holy Land of the Lower Realm Dragon Clan, opening once every five thousand years... Inside, it contains the essence of heaven and earth nurtured over five thousand years. Any young dragon entering it can gain extraordinary enhancement!"
Lanni Barnes continued, "If not for the current Dragon Clan Chief not having entered the Dragon Washing Pool, the Dragonsmith Clan wouldn’t be ranked below our Mansion of Azure Clouds and Shadow Mountain Black Market!"
