Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1481

Eddie's deity must've appeared upon sensing he was in danger!

He immediately connected the dots and shifted his gaze to the Fox Deity for help. "O Fox Deity, help—"

However, he had just lifted his leg when he suddenly felt a harsh kick behind his back. He stumbled to the ground head-first and winced in pain, despite being in a dream.

Then, he finally heard the old woman's flustered voice. "You're the ghost, you idiotic fool!"

Meanwhile, the young man who had appeared gazed teasingly at the collapsed Eddie.

He ignored him and went around him, then gave a familiar bow in the old woman's direction, smiling and asking, "Madam Marblemaw, why did you choose him as your worshipper? His spiritual energy is weak, and he's slow-witted."

Eddie was speechless.

Madam Marblemaw huffed and returned to the tree, muttering, "It's a karmic connection."

Regardless of how slow-witted Eddie was, he realized he had made yet another mistake. The old woman was the deity that Shannon talked about, while this suddenly appeared male fox…

"A-Are you Cale's deity?"

The young man narrowed his eyes almost into a thin sliver. "Looks like he isn't that dumb, after all."

He looked at Madam Marblemaw and said, "I sensed your energy from him during the day, so I thought I'd visit and apologize to you on behalf of my impudent worshipper."

Madam Marblemaw waved in dismissal. "He wasn't entirely wrong. This kid is truly hopeless."

She paused, sighed, and continued, "Well, I'm no better myself."

Some children exuded spiritual energy when they were young, but as they grew older, they began to show their mediocrity and lost that spark. She just didn't expect that he would be one of them.

She chose Eddie not only to repay his family's kindness but also in the hope that, should he succeed in his training, he could support that child as well.

Unfortunately, she had waited over 20 years to see him reconnect with her presence.

And that child… Oh, sweet Fennec.

"I wonder how her life has been since returning to her clan," Madam Mablemaw mused.

After all, Fennec had saved Eddie's life once. Their 12th house had also been connected since that incident…
