Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1381

This time, Shannon wasn't as confident, whispering, "We'll see first."

With the man's shout, more villagers began to emerge. They carried lights in their hands, but what was even more surprising was that everyone was dressed in traditional attire.

Some wore cloaks, others thick coats, and from their appearance, they clearly didn't resemble ordinary villagers at all.

Lexie was engulfed by fear. "Shit! This village is definitely not an ordinary one. It could be a ghost village!"

Shannon stared intently for a while, then remarked, "They're not ghosts."

Faced with Lexie and Fennec's anticipated gaze, she pursed her lips and added, "Nor are they humans."

"Well, I wish they were ghosts at least," Lexie thought.

Soon, the village chief, Harlan Boyle, arrived. He wasn't weirded out by their sudden appearance. When he heard they were here to look for someone, he suggested, "It's getting late. Why don't you rest in the village for the night?

"We can talk more and sort things out tomorrow morning." Then, he turned to Benjamin. "The VIP can stay at my place."

Out of instinct, Shannon pulled Benjamin closer to her and told Harlan, "We come in a pair."

Having known something was off about the village, she naturally couldn't let Benjamin stay at a stranger's place unattended.

At that, Harlan first looked peculiarly at the couple before breaking into a knowing smile. "I see—you two are husband and wife. I apologize for my carelessness. Of course, you two can stay together."

He turned around, chuckling and welcoming them into the village.

Each household wasn't considered big, and they couldn't settle Shannon's group in one place. Thus, Shannon told Fennec to stay with Lexie and Heston.
