Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 375

A long while later, as everyone watched in bewilderment, the Weasel Deity finally spoke up.

"More than 70 years ago, a mandrake harvester from Northrock Village saved me…"

As the Weasel Deity spoke, the crowd finally heard the whole story of his involvement with Northrock Village.

More than 70 years ago, Northrock Village was still extremely poor.

Back then, the Weasel Deity was just a weasel that was barely enlightened.

One day, he ran into a snake in the mountains, but fortunately, a mandrake harvester with the last name Larson rescued him.

Back then, the man was lost in the mountains, so he decisively brought the weasel along, hoping that the weasel would lead him back to the village as a form of gratitude.

And the Weasel Deity had indeed done that.

He not only led the man home, but he even helped the man harvest a 100-year-old wild mandrake.

The man was extremely surprised, and he praised the Weasel Deity's intelligence.

Before leaving the mountain, he said, "You're quite an intelligent weasel. I heard that when weasels have gained a certain amount of spiritual power, they'll ask humans for acknowledgment. When they've successfully gained acknowledgment, they'll be able to take on human form.

"You seem to have the potential for it. How about this? When you've gained enough spiritual power, come look for me. I promise I'll help you then!"

The man might not have meant it back then, but unbeknownst to him, the Weasel Deity took his words very seriously. The careless words had thus bound the two since then.

In the next 70 years, the Weasel Deity worked hard on his cultivation in the mountains while also protecting the man from the shadows.

Unexpectedly, because the Weasel Deity had helped the man find the 100-year-old mandrake, thus getting him a lot of money, the man wished to help his fellow villagers get rich as well.

With the man as the leader, the villagers began to learn about harvesting mandrakes.

The Weasel Deity started off protecting the man, but he gradually began to protect the whole village as well.

He helped the villagers locate old mandrakes, and when he had gathered enough power, he helped them manipulate the energy in the mountains to favor mandrake growth.
