Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2247

Back when the Stone Turtle had used its stone form to suppress the sea, its divine soul had been significantly weakened.

Its body shrank to a pitiful size, so small that Zane had spent the past two years feeding it all kinds of raw stones from the stone mine.

Thanks to that, it had only barely filled out a little.

Though it grumbled inwardly, the Stone Turtle didn't dare argue with her.

It simply answered honestly, "My lady, you may not be aware, but a hostile neighbour across the seas discharged nuclear wastewater into the ocean, triggering widespread putrefaction.

"Later, the mystics erected a barrier at the sea's edge to contain the putrefaction. To support the seal, I had no choice but to temporarily shed The Five Great Peaks and return to stone form to suppress the seas."

When hearing about the putrefaction, Elowen furrowed her brows and asked, "A hostile neighbor? Why not just eradicate them instead of separating the sea regions?"

She spoke with an air of frustration, muttering to herself, "What were the demons doing these days? They can't even handle a bad neighbor—it's like they're regressing."

"Well, what can I say? It's not like she'll care to listen anyway," the Stone Turtle mused.

Meanwhile, Hank, fresh out of the shower, noticed the Stone Turtle was gone and hurriedly went out to search.

When he found Elowen and the Stone Turtle at the top of the stairs facing each other, his heart instinctively clenched.

He swiftly made his way toward them and picked up the Stone Turtle, all while wearing a wary and tense gaze at "Shannon".

Elowen never intended to hide the fact that she wasn't Shannon. She wasn't surprised by the way the Jensens treated her, but seeing Hank made her deliberately tease him.

"Hector said I can see him as my brother now. That means he already acknowledged me as Shannon's replacement. You're also from the Jensen family. Shouldn't you treat me as your sister, too?"
