Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1410

Shannon had thought she might not sleep a wink, but she was proven wrong. Not only did she drift off almost instantly, but she also slept soundly.

When she opened her eyes, the sky had darkened. Celeste lay beside her in the same position as before.

Shannon studied the person in front of her.

Probably because she was from the demon clan, Celeste looked no older than the age of 27 or 28. Despite her youthful appearance, her features occasionally exuded a calmness and clarity that didn't match her apparent age.

It was the same feeling Celeste had given her when she'd worn Fennec's face.

As Shannon pondered the thought, a sharp cry rang in her mind. "Shannon!"

Shannon jolted in shock. And at the same time, Celeste, who'd been lightly dozing, abruptly opened her eyes. Her gaze was sharp and vigilant.

But the sharpness disappeared as soon as she realized it was Shannon beside her. Her expression softened, and she returned to her usual demeanor.

"You're awake? Are you hungry?" Celeste asked.

Shannon shook her head and pointed toward the door. "I heard my tortoise calling for me."

Celeste blinked. A tortoise… calling? What sound were tortoises supposed to make? Why hadn't she heard anything?

But they soon understood what was going on.

Shannon opened the door to see Celeste's Macaron sitting elegantly on the floor.

Macaron raised its head and looked at them with an air of pride. It was pinning down a small struggling tortoise beneath her front paw.

"Shannon! Get this fox off me!

"I'm the mighty System! Yet you treat me like a toy! Goddamn fox! You've crossed me, and you're done for!"

Tortoise the System screeched hysterically and gave Shannon a headache. She crouched down and rescued the tortoise from Macaron's claws.

"I think so too."

The two of them chatted, and their words almost caused the system to implode with rage.

"Shannon, I can hear you! This is slander!

"Do you think I chose this host body? You're the one who forced me into this tortoise when I was weak!"

Shannon ignored it.

The two headed out for dinner after changing into fresh clothes.

Given Celeste's cooking skills, this was their first meal together after their reunion, and the former decided to take Shannon out for something special.

But before that, Celeste brought Shannon to the mall and picked out a brand-new phone for her.
