Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 379

Everyone was so focused on the Weasel Deity, so no one noticed that the livestream had been cut off. If it weren't for all the weasels watching nearby, Carlos would have collapsed to the ground and burst into tears. The other cast exchanged glances, unsure whether to console Carlos.

So far, most people remained skeptical about the existence of the supernatural. If everyone suddenly witnessed a weasel speaking human words, the uproar online would be unimaginable. It would fundamentally reshape people's worldviews, much like what they were experiencing now.

While Shannon continued negotiating with the Weasel Deity, the crew was frantically working on the signal receiver. To ensure smooth live streaming in the mountains, the production crew had prepared top-notch signal receivers. So, a signal loss leading to an internet disconnect shouldn't have occurred.

However, the signal loss could have been due to the Weasel Deity's presence. It was said that spirits could disrupt magnetic fields, and this Weasel Deity might be capable of that.

Carlos considered this possibility and had almost given up hope. But surprisingly, after some tinkering, they managed to restore the signal. Once the network signal reconnected, the livestream resumed.

The number of viewers skyrocketed from the initial one to 30, and then to tens of thousands within seconds. Within three minutes, it reached millions.

A barrage of comments flooded in right away.

"Ah, the livestream is finally back on!"

"The livestream cut off at the most crucial moment. Do you have any idea how we felt?"

"Are you guys playing games with us?"

"The production crew did this on purpose, didn't they?"

"Hurry up! We want to see the Weasel Deity!"

Unaware of the situation with the livestream, Shannon walked straight to the villagers and fixed her gaze on the anxious Robert and Sean.

She stated, "We've agreed on the terms. Your son doesn't have to serve in the mountains for three years. In exchange, the village must build a stone shrine on the mountain for the Weasel Deity, and this shrine must be built by Sean himself. This is what your family owes him. The villagers can help, but no outsiders are allowed to assist."

Robert was overjoyed and relieved to hear that they just needed to build a shrine. Though it meant they had to do some hard labor, it was far better than being confined in the mountains with the weasels for three years.

He quickly said, "We'll build it! I'll pay for everything from materials to its design. I'll personally supervise this brat in building the shrine."

Shannon shook her head at Robert's words. "The shrine's cost should be covered by the villagers collectively. The Weasel Deity has protected the village for years. It used its spiritual power to draw in spiritual energy from the mountain to aid with the mandrake harvesting.

"Since everyone has benefited from him, everyone owes him for it. It's best for each household to contribute a portion, no matter how little."
