"Grandpa Barus!?" Yu Xiasheng couldn't help blurting out the vague figure in his memory.

Barus is the old butler of the duke's mansion. He has served Otley by his side since he was a child. Whether he is poor or powerful, Barus has always been proud of his role as a butler, and he has been with Oatley diligently until his death. .

After Otley's death, Barus was still left in the Duke's mansion, enjoying the treatment of chief butler.

"Why are you here...? Could it be that Sakild..."

Yu Xiasheng instinctively respected Barus.

During the days when Azaros' mother lived in the duke's mansion, both mother and son were taken care of by Barus.It can be said that Barus is the only servant in the Duke's mansion who sincerely respects Asaros' mother and son.

"Third young master, don't worry," Barus stood up with Yu Xiasheng's support, "Eldest young master saw that I was getting old, so he gave me this small mansion here, so that I can take good care of myself."

It was only then that Yu Xiasheng remembered that the Duke's family not only has a mansion in the main city, but also has small resorts in various parts of the territory.

To be assigned one of them, Sakild respected him a lot.

"The third young master can't find the hotel?" Barus looked at the carriage behind Yu Xiasheng, and saw through Yu Xiasheng's troubles at a glance.

Yu Xiasheng nodded in embarrassment.

Barus quickly noticed Nigeya who was sleeping in the carriage. The cold hood covered most of his face, revealing only his fair cheeks and delicate wrists.He was holding a dragon egg in his arms, and outsiders saw it as a slightly swollen abdomen, which happened to make Barus realize a little bit.

"Madam is pregnant with Liujia, so it's not suitable to stay in the hotel. If the third young master doesn't mind, you can come to the old man's house to stay temporarily."

Yu Xiasheng was slightly taken aback, thinking that Barus must have misunderstood the dragon egg.

It's useless to explain more, so Yu Xiasheng complied, and went to a mansion under the guidance of Barus.

The mansion is not very big, but it is no different from a mansion for an ordinary family.Such a mansion is too spacious for a single old man to live in.

It's just that Barus took great care of the mansion that Sakild entrusted to him, and he has been unwilling to resell it.

"The third young master is willing to come in, the old man is really honored, hahaha."

Barus smiled, welcomed Yu Xiasheng into the room, and respectfully took off Yu Xiasheng's coat, making Yu Xiasheng at a loss for a while.

"Grandpa Barus, you don't need to..."

"Hahaha, the third young master is too independent, and has never been used to being served by others." Barus hung up his coat and said unhurriedly, "Let the old man take care of you for a few days."

Seeing that Balus insisted on this, Yu Xiasheng didn't say any more, and carried Nigeya in the carriage into the house by the fire.

Both Thurb and Seb walked into the house as boys, but Rubay wagged his tail and looked at Barus carefully.

Balus noticed the two children, first lingered on their faces for a while, then looked at Yu Xiasheng, and said clearly: "The two little servants will live with the old man in the single room on the first floor."

"Who do you call a servant!"

Seb exploded all of a sudden, ran in front of Barus and yelled ferociously: "You human being, how dare you say that the great me is a servant? Woohoo...!!!!"

"sorry."

Saibo quickly covered Sebu's mouth, and said politely: "We are helpers in the master's manor."

"The manor," Barus smiled, his eyes narrowed into a line, "is it true that the third young master opened the manor. The old man has been very worried about the future of the third young master, and now he can finally rest assured."

After speaking, Barus showed a reassuring smile.

"Is the young master becoming a farmer something to be reassured about?" Rube asked, tugging at Sable's trousers in doubt, and then he felt Barus' suspicious gaze, "Who was talking just now?"

But Rube shuddered, he didn't expect this old man to be so sharp.

Sitting by the stove, Nigeya opened his eyes in a daze, saw Yu Xiasheng's worried gaze, and said softly, "Good morning."

"Good morning." Yu Xiasheng stroked his gradually rosy cheeks, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

"The old man is going to prepare hot soup for the madam."

Barus was very relieved, and walked to the kitchen contentedly.

Nigeya stared at the back of Barus until he disappeared before he began to look around the room.

Nigeya's caution made Yu Xiasheng's heart skip a beat, he lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Does he have a problem?"

"No malice," Nigga said.

Dragons can see through people's hearts, and anyone who intends to harm dragons cannot escape Nigeya's eyes.

"That's good." Yu Xiasheng breathed a sigh of relief. If Barus wanted to hurt himself, it would be a big blow to Asaros.

Although Nigeya didn't feel any malice, the unusual atmosphere in the mansion always made him feel creepy.

Something is wrong.

Nigga frowned.

"That old man actually said that the famous guardian of the gate of hell is a human servant! Superficial!" Seb was still concerned about what happened just now, "Like this kind of ignorant human! I could eat several of them a day when I was in hell!"

"Wang!"

Saibo covered Seb's mouth relentlessly, and turned his warning eyes to Kerubai, as if warning the two of them to be cautious in the human territory.

Although Barus is Asaros' old steward, he can't fully trust him.

The identity of the Demon Race cannot be revealed.

Thurb and Krube calmed down and nodded obediently.

"Nigeya, let me take off your coat for you." Yu Xiasheng was worried that Nigeya would catch cold if his clothes were covered with snow, so he took off his coat for Nigeya and changed into a set of dry clothes.

Nigeya lay obediently on Yu Xiasheng's body, her face was glowing red from the fire, she was very cute.

The egg woke up because of Nigeya's tossing, rolled to the ground, found that the surrounding was an unfamiliar environment, and wandered around curiously.

Just when Barus came out of the kitchen, Seb quickly picked up the egg and stuffed it under his clothes.

"The soup is ready, Madam, please use it."

Barus felt like a spring breeze, and when he came to the living room, he saw Nigeya who had woken up. His waist-length black hair and delicate and pretty appearance, the blend of femininity and masculine handsomeness immediately made people's hearts flutter. born love.

"That Barus, he..." Yu Xiasheng wanted to explain something, but Nigeya stopped the conversation, and generously stretched out his hand to take the soup from Barus, "Thank you."

"It's good that Madam likes it."

Barus seemed to understand that the "Madame" in front of him was not a woman, but a man with a good face.

But it doesn't matter, a ring inlaid with black gemstones on Nigeya's finger shows how much love the husband and wife are.

Of the three wives in the Duke of Otley's life, only the mother of the young master Sakild got the sapphire wedding ring that matched the blue wrench on the Duke's hand.

"Speaking of which, just now I saw Madam's stomach..."

Having said that, Nigeya, as a male, still caused Barus to have new doubts.His eyes circled around and finally fell on Thurb, who had a distended belly.

"That's it, it's you."

Barus smiled dryly, and approached Sebu with a wrinkled face, which really scared Sebu into a cold sweat, "Hahahaha, just like a little fat man."

Sebu's face was flushed from holding back, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only hold his eggs in his stomach and shouted aggrievedly: "Where is my room! Take me to see it!"

"Hahahahaha."

Barus kept laughing, and led the three brothers to see the room.

As soon as Balus left, Nigeya's eyelids drooped again, and his forehead leaned against Yu Xiasheng, "Hmm."

"Don't hold on all the time." Yu Xiasheng was really worried that Nigeya would always force himself to hold back something, so he took the soup and fed it to Nigeya little by little.

Someone was feeding, Nigeya looked satisfied, and opened his mouth honestly to wait for Yu Xiasheng to feed.

When Nigeya stretched out his tongue to lick his lips after drinking a hot bowl, Yu Xiasheng suddenly raised his lower jaw, licked the corner of his lips with his tongue and said, "I've finished the soup for you, I don't even have to try it."

"Oh," Nigeya hugged Yu Xiasheng's waist, raised her red lips arrogantly and said, "Approved."

"You goblin dragon." Yu Xiasheng laughed, lowered his head and kissed him fiercely.

……

At night, after Yu Xiasheng settled down in Nigeya, he went to the stable to take out the necessary luggage and prepare to go back to his room.

The living room was not lit, and it was dark.Yu Xiasheng bumped and bumped his way through the darkness, and finally reached the stairs, when a bright light appeared behind him silently.

"It's so late, the third young master can call the old man if he needs anything."

"Barus?"

Yu Xiasheng turned his head abruptly, and Balus' old face really shocked Yu Xiasheng.He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with lingering fear, "It's just a little luggage, it's fine."

Balus raised the oil lamp and looked at the room on the second floor.Time has left deep marks on Barus' face. He squinted his eyes and sighed, "I wonder if the third young master can listen to the old man's request?"

"Of course." Yu Xiasheng agreed.

When Azaros was young, the Duke didn't like him, but even so, Barus still did his best to Asaros, and Yu Xiasheng was naturally happy to help him a little.

"The third young master, please move into the room." Barus led Yu Xiasheng into the study on the side of the living room.

The room is full of books, most of which are political treatises.Yu Xiasheng frowned, this was not like a book that Barus would read.

Barus invited Yu Xiasheng to a seat, and said bluntly, "I know that the third young master has a big heart and doesn't care about past gains and losses."

Yu Xiasheng withdrew his gaze from looking at the bookshelf, "Is it about Sakild?"

Barus is the Duke's steward, so he naturally puts the family head first.Barrus had also looked after Thatkild for a long time after Oatley's death.In addition, the books in this room should also be prepared for Sakild.

"As expected of the third young master."

Barus nodded, "I hope the third young master can help me stop the young master."

"Stop Sakild?" Yu Xiasheng looked serious.

Barus nodded, and slowly explained the detailed instructions.At the end of the conversation, Yu Xiasheng sweated from his clenched hands at some point, "No."

"Third young master!" Barus had a premonition that Yu Xiasheng would refuse, and was about to step forward to persuade him, but Yu Xiasheng evaded him back: "I have fallen out with Sakild, he won't listen to me."

After finishing speaking, Yu Xiasheng turned his head and left the study. At that moment, a system task reminder came from his head.

[Remaining lifespan: 23 years...nine...months, Zizizi... Ren... Contents: How difficult it is to make... the house... safe...: ☆☆☆]

"Hey, what's wrong with you, system?"

Yu Xiasheng called a few times in his heart, but he didn't wait for the system to respond.He looked solemn, thinking about the content of the task.When he turned around, it was already pitch black, and Barus in the study had long since disappeared.
