Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1482

"Who's Fennec?" Eddie asked about the name. Although it sounded foreign, it inexplicably gave him a sense of familiarity.

Madam Marblemaw looked at him and explained, "She's also a fox. I used to look after her when she was little."

After a pause, she continued, "When you were five, you choked while eating and almost died. She was the one who'd saved you."

He faintly remembered the incident but couldn't recall a fox named Fennec. "So, she saved me. Does that mean she's my deity, too?"

She shot him a glare. "Dream on."

He could barely sense her presence yet fantasized about having another deity.

"She's a half-demon, so she can't become a deity."

Eddie grunted and glanced at Madam Marblemaw again, asking, "Then, why did you choose me as your worshipper? And why couldn't I sense your presence?"

She became frustrated. "It's because of you, duh!"

"I thought she said it wasn't my fault…" he thought.

At his innocent look, she sighed again and began narrating the story behind her and Eddie's family.

Madam Marblemaw's first name was Freya. At the time, she was just an ordinary fox living in the mountains.

Unlike the others, her cultivation was the weakest despite being the oldest. However, since she held the highest rank in that part of the mountain, most of the other foxes didn't dare to cause trouble in her presence.

She had even nurtured Cale's Fox Deity before he had gained any real abilities. Although her spiritual power was weak, she adored getting close to humans.

The year Eddie's father, Houston Randel, got married, he happened to rescue Freya from a hunter's trap in the mountains.

When Freya started the process with Eddie, his reaction was extremely intense. His parents were heartbroken, but knowing it was a necessary step in his life, they made him endure it.

However, after six full months of pain, with no improvement in sight, Eddie's parents knelt before her, begging her to take on a different worshipper.

Seeing that Eddie's situation was unique, Freya made an agreement with the Randel family to wait until he was older before opening his acupoints.

In the end, that wait stretched on for over 20 years.

As Eddie grew older, he completely lost her ability to sense her.

If it hadn't been for Elliot's thorn, embedded with his spiritual energy, as a tether, she wouldn't have even been able to meet him in her dreams.

Later, Freya also pondered the reasons behind the long wait.
