Chapter 504 The Doll Assembly Completed

He Hailuo looked at Lin Xiyue with amazement, as if he had seen some unparalleled philanthropist.

"So, up until now, you've been helping out for free, no, at your own expense! You're such a good person! You're practically an angel! An angel!!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but give Lin Xiyue a thumbs up.

"Woof?!"

Just then, Guai Guai, who was lying in its nest engrossed in gnawing on a huge bone, seemed to hear He Hailuo calling its name. It raised its head, its big, round eyes filled with confusion, and stared straight at He Hailuo.

Guai Guai's current situation is a bit special; it is covered with a large blanket.

The blanket covered most of its body, leaving only its large head and a small section of its arm exposed.

From a distance, Guai Guai looks like a glutinous rice ball with a dog's head, especially when its fluffy head peeks out from under the blanket, making people unable to help but laugh.

This blanket was actually draped over Guai Guai by An Qing.

Firstly, it's to prevent Guai Guai from catching a cold, since the weather is still a bit chilly; secondly, it's to avoid Guai Guai's body being too exposed, since some of the comfortable postures of dogs would look a bit strange if they were on a person.

After all, Guai Guai has a dog's head and a girl's body.

"Oh, is my little one hungry?"

He Hailuo looked at Guai Guai tenderly and asked softly.

She glanced at the time, estimating in her mind that it was about time for her son to eat, so she naturally asked him.

"Wang Wang~"

It shook its head obediently, then sat up. Its big, round eyes looked at Heheluo, as if trying to express something.

"Cough cough cough..."

Suddenly, Guai Guai coughed a few times, sounding somewhat unwell.

It seemed to be trying to adjust its voice, searching for the frequency to speak human language.

"Can I...can my master come back? I miss her."

After a while, Guai Guai finally spoke again.

"Yes, it will be soon. You'll be able to see your master very soon, in two days at most."

Hearing this, Lin Xiyue smiled, walked over, patted the baby's head, and comforted him.

The little creature's ears immediately perked up; it was clearly very satisfied with the answer.

"Woof~ Okay!"

It barked excitedly and even tried to stand up; it couldn't wait to see its owner.

"Alright, you'll have to wait a little longer, okay?"

Lin Xiyue said gently, reaching out to press the adorable creature, which was trying to get up, back down, so that it wouldn't move around for the time being.

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's words, he obediently and quickly sat down, his movements very swift.

However, after this action, its front was completely exposed to the air, and the blanket that had been covering it slipped off.

"Oh dear, you can't do that!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiyue's heart tightened, and she quickly spoke up to stop him.

Her voice carried a hint of anxiety, after all, there were other men present.

Although she knew that Li Si would definitely not care whether someone like Guai Guai was wearing clothes or not, she still felt that she couldn't let Guai Guai show herself so boldly.

Guai Guai seemed to understand Lin Xiyue's words. It blinked its eyes and then obediently lay down again.

Lin Xiyue smiled with satisfaction as she looked at Guai Guai's obedient appearance, and then patted its head.

After confirming that Guai Guai was no longer moving around, Lin Xiyue walked over to the pile of doll fragments that had been pieced together into large pieces.

She crouched down, carefully examining the fragments, pondering the order in which to assemble them into the shape of a doll.

"Seashell, come and lend a hand, I can't carry this by myself."

Lin Xiyue turned to look at the conch shell not far away and called out softly.

"Alright, coming right up!"

Hearing Lin Xiyue's call, He Hailuo readily responded and quickly walked to her side.

Lin Xiyue carefully picked up a piece of the puppet's leg that had already been assembled and placed it next to the stool she had dragged over.

Next, she gently bent the doll's legs, making it sit like a human.

This process needs to be done very carefully to avoid any problems with the doll's legs.

He Hailuo saw Lin Xiyue carefully handling the leg of a doll.

Luo Xin understood immediately. Without saying a word, she quickly picked up the other leg, followed the same pattern, bent it, and placed it steadily next to the leg that Lin Xiyue was supporting.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue smiled slightly, took the leg that He Hailuo handed over, and gave her an encouraging look, signaling her to continue.

He Hailu understood perfectly, and the two worked together seamlessly and in perfect harmony.

Before long, a headless, life-sized, exquisitely crafted doll gradually took shape under their skillful hands.

This doll has smooth lines and perfect proportions; it's simply a beautiful work of art.

Finally, Lin Xiyue carefully adjusted the doll's posture slightly, making it sit upright in the chair, then straightened up and examined her masterpiece with satisfaction.

"Li Si, how's it going on your end?"

Once everything was ready, Lin Xiyue turned around and looked at Li Si, who was focused on carving magic arrays on the doll's head not far away, and asked softly.

"Yes, it's finished. Now you can assemble it."

Li Si nodded expressionlessly, then walked over with light steps and handed the lifelike doll head in his hand to Lin Xiyue.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiyue quickly reached out and took the head.

She examined the head closely—its features were exquisitely detailed, every detail sculpted perfectly, as if it would come to life at any moment.

Next, Lin Xiyue turned her gaze to the doll's neck, where there was a clear splicing point.

She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and then carefully aligned her head with the correct position, slowly installing it.

Just as the head and body perfectly aligned, a deep buzzing sound suddenly rang out, as if it came from deep within the doll's body.

Immediately afterwards, a series of "buzzing" sounds rang out, growing louder and louder, accompanied by violent vibrations throughout the doll's body.

Lin Xiyue was startled by this sudden turn of events. Her body trembled violently, and she subconsciously took two steps back, creating some distance between herself and the doll.

He Hailuo, who was standing to the side, was also frightened by the scene. She took two steps back after Lin Xiyue and stared nervously at the doll with them, fearing that it might suddenly attack and hurt people.
