Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 104

Shannon was stunned at this sight and stood still.

She had instinctively shouted at Benjamin to move not because she thought the infant spirit would harm him. After all, the intense golden light surrounding him repelled anything evil or malicious. Ordinary ghosts or entities that threw themselves at him would be like moths to a flame.

She was more concerned that the infant spirit would be obliterated upon collision.

But the reality turned out to be different from her expectations. The infant spirit wasn't decimated but was grabbed by Benjamin instead.

Wait a second—grabbed?

Shannon looked at Benjamin and saw him frowning deeply. He stared coldly at the struggling mass of black energy in his palm. She was astonished as the realization hit her.

"You… Can you see that thing?" Shannon couldn't help but ask with a frown.

Benjamin turned to look at her with a puzzled expression. From the look in his deep-set eyes, he was clearly asking, "What the heck is this?"

He didn't feel that there was any solid object in his palm. Instead, it felt like he was holding a mass of struggling gas. As the black mass kept struggling and was about to escape his grasp, Benjamin tightened his grip on it instinctively.

Shannon was just about to take it from him when she realized too late what he was doing.

"Don't!" she exclaimed.

But it was too late.

Shannon watched as the golden light Benjamin emanated engulfed the infant spirit in his palm. She had only one thought—the infant spirit was destined to meet its demise after all.

Benjamin was at a loss for words.

Even at this moment, he didn't show too much confusion or doubt, but the slight twitch at the corner of his eye betrayed his emotions. In one short moment, he regained his composure.

"Is this also your pet?" he questioned.

Last time, it was a little fox. Now, it was this strange thing that didn't seem to belong in reality as he knew it. Coupled with the vanishing silk threads he saw with his own eyes, Benjamin started to believe that the newest addition to the Jensen family possessed some extraordinary abilities.

Shannon didn't expect him to ask this. She grimaced but replied calmly, "No."

She didn't have the habit of keeping malevolent spirits as pets.
