Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1380

The sky grew dark, and each household began preparing for dinner. One of the families took out a big ceramic bowl, filled it with freshly prepared food, and layered it with some gravy.

The man mumbled, "Why such a large portion?"

The middle-aged woman, preparing the box of food, glared at him. "Montaro was inside the pit all morning. Of course, he has to eat more for dinner."

While saying that, she couldn't help but glance outside her yard, confused.

The night had come, yet Montaro hadn't visited. Had he forgotten she would be serving him food today?

…

Meanwhile, Montaro led Shannon and her group across the back of the village and toward the mountains.

Lexie couldn't help but voice her question about Montaro, who walked swiftly ahead. "Are village guardians so impressive nowadays? First, he saw Fennec's true form. Then, he saw Brooklynn and even tailed after her…"

Shannon, too, looked at Montaro ahead, commenting, "I suppose… He's special."

As she spoke, her foot suddenly landed on a thin patch of ice, causing her to stumble slightly. Just then, a hand reached out from the side, steadying her firmly.

Benjamin withdrew his arm and held her wrist instead. With a deep voice, he said, "Hold onto me. It's slippery up here."

Lexie was rendered speechless, watching them. Heston, who had been in the background all this time, pondered briefly and mimicked Benjamin's actions.

He stuck his hand out to Lexie, offering, "Here, hold onto me."

She was at a loss for words. She was ready to lecture him not to mimic everything he saw, but Shannon chimed in. "Yeah, you should. We seem to have entered some kind of maze array, and we must stick together."

At that point, Lexie no longer had any objections and quickly yanked Heston over. Seeing Fennec had no partner, she pulled her over too.
