Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 788

Brian's casual inquiry made Leah's heart skip a beat. She instinctively turned to Shannon.

She was aware that Shanon had always wanted to send away the infant spirit but previously failed due to its lack of negative energy and weight.

Handing it over to her was also a hope that she could help the infant spirit quickly recover its negative energy. In the days since, it had already become plump and chubby from the energy she provided. Its weight had long been sufficient.

Leah was reluctant to send it away.

Parting her lips, she was ready to persuade Shannon to keep the infant spirit when she heard her saying, "Not yet."

Shannon's expression was extremely calm, so much so that Leah would've been fooled if she didn't know the truth.

The latter quickly regained her composure and nodded eagerly. "Right—it's far from getting fed. You know, it's really hard to replenish the negative energy of an infant spirit."

In response, Brian simply looked at them and raised no suspicions. With that, he could only nod with a tinge of regret and left with Cody's spirit.

Once he did, Leah floated closely behind Shannon into the bedroom and eagerly asked, "Shannon, are we keeping Peanut?"

Looking at Leah's face, Shannon gave a vague response. "It's crowded in the underworld, and it will only be stuck in the queue once it goes down there."

Leah parroted, "Yeah, you're right! Peanut's just an infant spirit. Without a ghost guide, it'll probably get lost in the queue or even bullied. It's better if I look after it."

Shannon couldn't help but glance at Leah, wondering, "Does she have a misconception of Peanut? It might seem small, but it's definitely not easygoing. Ah, whatever. They seem to be getting along as of now."

"Yeah, sure. Look after it."

Since the newcomers all went down the mountain together to tackle tasks, the experienced seniors claimed three tasks at once. By the end of the night, all the tasks in Seastone had been taken.

Elliot had only claimed one mission yesterday and found no available missions left when he planned to claim more this morning. "I-I'm sorry. I should've considered that."

He slowly placed his mini cake down with guilt, his head almost sinking into the cake.

Shannon reassured him. "It's okay. It won't be inconvenient for us to travel anyway."

Mike chimed in. "Right. Once we're out of the city, we can keep staying at hotels."

He paused, looked at Shannon eagerly, and asked, "We can, right, Shannon?"
