Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 915

Benji Gold let Shanny Gold go after a while. Then, it wobbled to Shannon's shoulder and carefully walked to her neck.

It wrapped its little arms around her and stood on little tiptoes to nuzzle her chin and rub against her affectionately.

Shannon couldn't help but smile. It was her first open and joyful smile.

She let Benji Gold cling to her and nuzzle her chin. Then, she reached out to poke it gently again and again. Her joy didn't need words.

Welcome back, Benji Gold.

…

Not far off, Shanny Gold watched eagerly before turning to Benjamin. It stretched its arms wide at him and tilted its head as if asking for the same affection.

Benjamin showed no response and decided to ignore it.

Shannon visibly relaxed now that she'd recovered Benji Gold. She turned to Benjamin to ask the question that'd been on her mind all night.

She looked at him with clear and serious eyes. "Benjamin, why did you suddenly show up in the spiritual realm tonight?"

Though she'd been trapped in the dreamscape, she vaguely remembered Benjamin ripping open the spiritual realm to appear before her.

Even if he had the golden meritorious halo, tearing the spiritual realm by hand was no ordinary feat. Plus, how had he known where the spiritual realm was?

Shannon had her guesses, but none provided an answer. If anything, she felt something different about him after he'd blocked the fire lightning for her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what'd changed.

Benjamin met her gaze. The golden light surrounding him concealed most of his expression, but she could still make out his deep, unreadable eyes. They were calm and unwavering.

If the golden light was that powerful, perhaps ripping open the spiritual realm wasn't that far-fetched.

But… He mentioned that the red mark had alerted him. Thalia had never mentioned that the red mark could work like this.

While Shannon pondered, Benjamin said, "Since we're on the topic, I have something I'd like to ask."

He turned his palm over almost carelessly, and his hand was tinged with a faint golden light that was oddly mesmerizing.

Staring at the mark on his palm, Benjamin spoke in a casual tone that carried a deeper underlying meaning, "You told me about this protective mark, but why can I sense that you're hurt through it?"

Shannon's heart skipped a beat.

She'd never have expected the memory to come spinning back and hit her months later.
