Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1401

The system was eager to prove that it'd achieved something Jordan couldn't, and that was a huge favor in itself.

Though the system was the "key" to their smooth arrival in the alternate world, Shannon wasn't going to tolerate its overbearing attitude. She dropped the tortoise casually onto the grass with a plop.

Then, she wrung out her clothes and checked her mystic chest.

The gifted bag from Clara had a waterproof design and had held up well. The talismans and emerald pendants had been individually treated and remained dry.

But these talismans were useless without spiritual energy.

Shannon then pulled out Emeralda's true form she'd brought along. She tried summoning the latter, but there was no response, let alone any transformation into her human form.

The system's voice hummed, "Don't bother. The alternate world doesn't operate on mystic arts principles, and there's no spiritual energy here."

As it spoke, its tone grew smug. "Which means to say, all your so-called mystic arts techniques are utterly useless in this world."

In the alternate world, Shannon was nothing more than an ordinary human.

She turned to look at Tortoise the System and didn't bother asking why it could still communicate with her. It was a product of the alternate world, after all.

Her ability to talk to the system was all thanks to the pinky ring from before.

Still, she found its smug demeanor irritating. As she listened to its gleeful laughter, she calmly retorted, "Why don't you control your black smoke and fly yourself out of here?"

She seemed to imply that the system was equally useless and in loss of the black smoke control.

The system fell silent. What an annoying human!

Shannon didn't confront the system further. It understood this world far better than she did, and she needed its guidance.

As for her inability to use mystic arts techniques, she didn't think it was a big deal.
