The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 941

Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Each Other’s Fateful Encounter

Lucas Jennings truly felt heartache.

Although initially forced, every day he heard it crying out for food, he went out of his way to gather all sorts of jade stones imbued with spiritual energy for it.

Watching this piece of jade in his hand gradually grow larger with nourishment, even starting to run and jump...

Lucas truly treated it like raising a child.

For its sake, he not only spent all his savings but also thought of various ways to procure more from his father.

The jade Benedict Beast he painstakingly raised, in less than two months after lending it out, shrank into such a tiny thing!

A creature that could eat so much was now shriveled from hunger!

Even facing Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers, Lucas couldn’t help but feel a sense of resentment.

This was abuse.

Meeting Lucas’s resentful gaze, Scarlett Jennings, though knowing it wasn’t her fault, still felt a bit guilty.

With a light cough, Scarlett couldn’t help but explain,

"The situation with Benedict Beast isn’t due to hunger."

Benedict Beast’s divine soul had merged with the Benedict Jade Body after she sculpted it, allowing its jade body to change as it consumed jade stones and absorbed spiritual energy.

But the fact that it shrank from its original large jade state to a mini one isn’t because it lacked jade replenishment.

It became like this purely because it used its stone body to pacify the sea and divided its accumulated strength.

Originally, it was supposed to be even smaller.

This is already the size Samuel Chalmers had restored using spiritual energy.

Scarlett briefly explained the matter of the Sea Barrier, and after listening, though Lucas understood...

He still felt heartache.

How many jade stones would it take to raise this tiny one back to its original size?

Benedict Beast raised its head to look at Lucas.

Although its jade body shrunk, its spiritual sense remained, and it could still move.

Seeing his pained expression, it tilted its head, pondering for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Samuel Chalmers.

Facing Benedict Beast’s gaze, Samuel didn’t say much, simply nodding toward the pocket where he kept Araminta Gold.

Immediately, upon receiving some sort of instruction, Araminta Gold darted indoors, and shortly after, came back carrying a document to Lucas.

The document fell into Lucas’s other hand, and he hadn’t quite caught on yet. "What’s this?"

"An unexploited jade mine in Qishan."

Samuel Chalmers said, "This is Benedict Beast’s gift of gratitude to you."

Think of it as compensation for food expenses.

This document contained the relevant details, arranged beforehand with help.

Hearing it was a jade mine, even the well-off Jennings brothers instinctively widened their eyes.

Lucas Jennings was envious,

"Do all divine beasts give such straightforward gifts?"

Then he looked at Scarlett Jennings, pointing at himself,

"Sis, do you know any other divine beasts? Think I could raise one?"

Scarlett Jennings glanced at him, ignoring his joking.

Divine beasts like Benedict Beast usually don’t easily form bonds with humans.

But according to Lucas’s account, he had long been visited by the Benedict Beast in dreams; before, Benedict Beast never spoke, so Scarlett never asked.

Now she couldn’t help but be curious about how Benedict Beast and Lucas had connected.

Holding the jade mine exploitation document, Lucas hesitated about returning it. Although he was currently broke, he could still afford to raise it.

Upon hearing Scarlett mention his connection with Benedict Beast, he became distracted.

He really didn’t know about this.

While pondering, he suddenly saw the mini Benedict Beast lying in his palm slowly tilt its head, looking at Kingston Jennings who hadn’t spoken.

With a slight flick of its tail, the small jade body gently jumped in front of Kingston Jennings.

Kingston was startled, instinctively extending his hand to catch it, watching Benedict Beast as if it had something to say.

Indeed, Benedict Beast spoke.

Though small, its voice was paradoxically old and deep, not at all matching its current cute miniature form.
