Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1382

In contrast to Lexie's agitation, Shannon went from startled to utterly calm within seconds. "Well, what's wrong with the bed?"

"There's nothing wrong?" Lexie was baffled.

"Heston is the Unmelting Bone. A coffin is precisely what he needs."

Lexie let out a stumped "Uh", then looked conflicted. "You're right, but how did they know Heston is a zombie?"

As the Unmelting Bone, his appearance already set him apart from ordinary zombies. Moreover, after bringing him back to her clan, she deliberately used a secret method to conceal the filth energy surrounding him.

From his outward appearance to his energy, aside from his paler skin, he was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person. The fact that he could be recognized at a glance was already strange…

Besides, who would keep a coffin in their room at home?

"And it's a great quality cedar coffin! I've only ever gotten a small coffin made of rosewood, and that was a gift from my grandfather when I enrolled in mystic school."

Lexie continued showing Shannon the details of the coffin. "Now, look at the craftsmanship. Even our clan's best carpenter couldn't make something this exquisite…"

The more she chattered on, the calmer Shannon looked. "That means that from the moment they saw us, or as soon as we entered the village, they'd already seen through all of our identities."

From Fennec, Brooklynn, and Heston's true forms and to her and Benjamin's relationship, the villagers seemed to know everything. Although unsure how they did it, Shannon was sure of one thing.

"As of now, I have yet to detect any malice in these people. Instead, they welcomed us using the highest standards according to their understanding."

Frankly, they were quite thoughtful.
