Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1383

The abundant spiritual energy naturally came from Benjamin. He slept just as he had the night before—rigid and proper, with a clear line of separation between the two of them.

Except… His hand was somehow now holding Shannon's, though he had no idea when it happened.

Her hand, crossing the invisible line, gently held in his, the palm pressing against the area of his abdomen. Even through the soft cotton blanket, she could feel the subtle rise and fall beneath it with his breath.

For some reason, she felt her arm growing a little warm. The warmth trickled slowly from her hand to her neck and the tip of her ears. For a moment, it didn't feel like they were in a foreign and strange place.

Fortunately, as she regained consciousness, Benjamin also woke up soon after. His fingers moved slightly, and he immediately realized that the hand he was holding wasn't his own.

Turning his head, he unexpectedly locked eyes with Shannon.

In the early morning of the mountain, the surroundings were so serene that only the sound of birds could be heard. The two of them lay there, eyes locked, a never-before-felt sensation quietly spreading between them.

Until… A tortoise wrapped in a faint black smoke floated gently from the foot of the bed to hover between their heads.

Tortoise the System turned its head, looking straight at Shannon. "Can at least one of you show some eagerness? Are you on vacation or something? Are we giving up on looking for that Stone Spirit?

"I didn't wanna say this, but you guys are harder to deal with than Cecily."

The system was openly attacking Shannon's mentality, yet her response was… late.

Just as she was about to make a move, Benji Gold and Shanny Gold, who had been hanging from the bed curtain all night, flew down first.
