Chapter 115

Francis had heard of Sophia and knew she had powerful backers. He initially intended to get to know her, but after interacting with her, he decided to avoid her. He sensed that contact with Sophia might lead to slander, so he kept his distance.

"She's quite willful," Finnian replied, unable to elaborate. Mentioning Sophia caused him chest pain and a severe headache. He stared at Odalys, silently seeking reassurance that he wasn't possessed.

"Why's Finnian looking at you?" Freya whispered.

Selah nodded. "He wanted to say something but hesitated. He also looked exhausted, as if his life force had been drained."

"Speaking of drained life force," Stellan interjected, breaking his usual silence, "Sophia and Finnian look different. Something's not right."

Odalys remained silent, her gaze averted. She'd sensed something was wrong with Finnian since the airport. An invisible connection existed between Finnian and Sophia, controlled by Sophia. Odalys suspected Sophia had manipulated Finnian.

Since obtaining Sophia's hair and witnessing her youthful scarring, Odalys knew the source of Sophia's beauty: dealings with evil entities. This explained her unchanging appearance and her interest in Finnian.

"I'm full," Odalys murmured. They finished eating, and Stellan washed the dishes. Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed, signaling an approaching storm. Odalys, drying the dishes, whispered, "The grass isn't dry yet, but we have to make do."

"What should we do?" Freya asked.

They rolled up their sleeves, initially planning to use the damp grass to patch the roof. Unexpectedly, Odalys went outside, retrieved a kitchen knife, cut some branches, and returned. She sliced the branches thinly, astonishing the others.

"Odalys, aren't we patching the roof?" Selah asked, bewildered.

Odalys smiled proudly. "We'll use these to weave with the grass."

"I thought we just used the grass to fill the holes," Freya said, equally surprised.

"If it's just blocked, it will leak. This is how it's done traditionally," Odalys explained. She worked quickly, demonstrating her technique. They layered the grass onto the thin branch slices.

"Press harder," Odalys instructed Selah.

Freya, hesitant, asked, "Odalys, what about me?"

"Use your foot to press down; otherwise, it won't hold," Odalys demonstrated. Stellan, skilled with his hands, quickly mastered the technique. His work wasn't perfect, but it was adequate.

"Stellan, that's quite good. Use a little more strength," Odalys praised.

Stellan smiled faintly, clearly pleased.

Selah exclaimed, "Wow, I get it now!"

Freya, carefully stepping and arranging the grass, said, "I think I can do it too. It's ugly, but it works."

They worked quickly, but ran short of grass. Odalys ventured into the forest, swiftly gathering large quantities of tall weeds, bundling them with grass, and returning with armfuls. The livestream viewers gasped.

Comments flooded in: "[She said she grew up in the mountains; I doubted her, but now I believe it.]" Another: "[She knows how to weave grass! Her technique is like my grandmother's.]" And another: "[She's so strong! I can barely carry a handful, and she's carrying two bundles and walking fast!]"

Witnessing her patiently guiding the others, viewers fell silent. Her temper and patience were remarkable. Fans of the other three contestants began following Odalys on Twitter. She'd registered that day and already had seven million followers, mostly from the live stream and fans of the other show participants. She was unaware of this surge in popularity.

Freya, wiping sweat, was stunned by the quantity of grass Odalys had gathered and carried back unaided – a task that had been difficult even for Stellan.

"It's going to rain; let's hurry," Odalys urged.

They quickly completed the roofing: Odalys seven rows, Stellan two, Freya and Selah one each, and another collaborative row.

"I'll climb up. Stellan, pass them to me," Odalys said, effortlessly climbing the roof, using Freya for support.

"I thought you needed a ladder," Selah marveled.

Odalys received the weed bundles from Stellan, completing the roof. The crew gasped at her agility and skill.

Freya then asked, "What if the wind blows it away?"
