Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1259

If it were Lexie forming the contract, there wouldn't be such concerns.

Due to her family's heritage, her spiritual energy was more unique than that of an average mystic master. This unique quality allowed her to resonate with zombies in a way others could not.

The Unmelting Bone was a zombie, after all. And Lexie coming from a family of corpse herders was the most skilled in corpse control.

As Lexie listened to Shannon's proposal, she didn't hesitate to pull out her travel bag.

"When you told me you wanted to form a contract with the Unmelting Bone, I asked my grandpa about it.

"What you're describing is similar to the Ghastly Corpse Contract passed down in my family. It's essentially forming a contract with zombies via corpse control.

"But no one in my family's history has ever encountered the Unmelting Bone. We don't know if the Ghastly Corpse Contract will work on him, but I brought everything necessary just in case."

Lexie continued somewhat emotionally, "Now with everyone being cremated, we've lost corpse control. I barely get to handle any fresh corpses, and most of the time, I'm stuck tinkering with puppet dolls."

Shannon replied lightly, "That's probably for the best."

Dealing with corpses wasn't a pleasant task, especially when it came to things like ghouls in Harrisfield Village. It would be better if such events never happened again.

Lexie misunderstood her sentiment and got slightly agitated. "Puppet dolls are fine, but if I can succeed in forming the contract with the Unmelting Bone, I'll bring glory to my family!

"My family… No, corpse herders in general have never attempted a contract with the Unmelting Bone. If this works, Shannon, you'll be the hero reviving our legacy. If you came to my house for a meal, my grandpa would probably give you the seat of honor!"

"That wouldn't be necessary," Shannon muttered to herself.
