Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1957

Steen had never suffered.

What kind of mountain trail expected a national treasure like him to walk on his own? Plus, he had to find food and fetch his water! That was a miserable life!

He thought about the four comfortable days under Benson's care and figured Button must have also grown up being doted on like that.

To be raised in captivity all its life and suddenly thrown into the mountains to fend for itself, Steen didn't even know where he should start complaining.

"Who came up with the wild reintroduction idea? They should try it themselves! This is total disrespect to us national treasures!"

Steen huffed and puffed with indignation, but he kept a close eye on Button and never let it wander too far from him. Whenever Button tried to stray, he'd scold it.

"I told you you're my underling now! No running off, or I'll beat you up!"

Button whimpered aggrievedly but dared not resist. So, the two pandas roamed the mountains together.

Steen couldn't sense any danger or figure out what Button's death calamity was. Shannon hadn't given any specifics either.

They stayed until late into the night, and it began to rain.

Steen found shelter with Button under a cliff ledge. It snuggled up to him and quickly fell asleep.

But Steen could faintly sense that something in the mountains' energy had changed.

…

The rain stopped in the middle of the night. But when Steen brought Button to the stream the next morning, he noticed the water had turned murky.

At first, he thought it was from the rain last night, but it started raining again in the morning.

As the stream grew faster and the fish scattered, Steen perked up in alert. "This feels like a sign of a landslide."

Landslides referred to mountain collapses and mudslides, and in serious cases, flash floods.
