Chapter 517 Repairing the Dog~~~

However, because the opening of the cloth bag was tightly sealed by the spirit dove, the clay sculpture inside had no way to escape.

It could only helplessly perform the shaping action in this cramped space, changing its shape to better fit the appearance of the soul it had just touched.

Looking at the violently moving cloth bag in front of her, He Tao really couldn't understand why it had to be locked up.

She thought to herself, "This must be the soul of that good boy. How is he now?"

Why not let it out?

So, she cautiously asked Lingjiu.

Lingjiu didn't seem to be interrupted by He Tao's question; his gaze remained fixed on the cloth bag, as if there was something inside that was extremely attractive to him.

"It is currently undergoing shaping, a very critical process, so it absolutely cannot be released. If there is too much interference, its soul may mutate during the shaping process and turn into something strange."

After a while, he slowly turned his head, looked at He Tao, and explained.

Hearing Lingjiu's explanation, He Tao nodded in understanding.

She understood; it meant that shaping the soul was an extremely complex process, and any small mistake could lead to serious consequences.

However, even though she understood the reasoning behind it, her gaze was still involuntarily drawn to the cloth bag, wanting to know if the soul belonging to Guaiguai inside was alright, or if anything unexpected had happened.

At the same time, although Lingjiu was explaining to He Tao, his eyes never left the violently shaking cloth bag.

His expression was like that of a fervent researcher, filled with intense interest and focus on his subject of study.

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Shh—watch quietly.

Lingjiu interrupted He Tao with a serious expression, as if her words would have serious consequences.

Although He Tao had many questions in her mind, seeing Ling Jiu's serious attitude, she swallowed the questions that were on the tip of her tongue and only uttered a soft syllable.

She looked at Lingjiu with some resentment, but the other party did not give her a chance to continue asking questions, instead staring intently at the cloth bag.

Seeing this, He Tao had no choice but to obediently shut her mouth and stop talking.

Her gaze followed Lingjiu and fell on the cloth bag.

At first glance, the cloth bag looked ordinary and nothing special.

Before long, as they watched, the bag began to undergo some subtle changes.

At first, the bag only bulged slightly, as if it contained something inside.

But as time went on, the bulge became more and more obvious, and the bag gradually stood up from its original flat state.

This change, though slow, is clearly visible.

Lin Xiyue and the others held their breath, staring intently at the cloth bag, afraid of missing any detail.

Through the gradually changing shape of the cloth bag, the outline of a dog can be clearly seen faintly, as if an invisible hand is carefully sculpting it.

First, the dog's body gradually comes into view, and its limbs, abdomen, and back become clearly visible under the cover of the bag.

Next, the tail began to take shape, its slender tail slightly curved, as if gently swaying, pushing the cloth bag out in a small arc.

Then, the dog's head gradually emerges, with its eyes, nose, and mouth cleverly sculpted.

Finally, ears grew out, small and agile, as if listening to the sounds around them.

The whole process was like a wonderful magic show, step by step, a cute outline of a dog gradually took shape in the bag.

"Woof, woof, woof woof!!"

Once the dog inside the bag had fully taken shape, a series of cheerful barks suddenly came from inside.

The sound was crisp and loud, full of life and energy.

Upon hearing this sound, He Tao felt a strong urge surge within her. She instinctively wanted to step forward and untie the cloth bag to see if Guai Guai was still inside.

However, just as her hand was about to touch the bag, Lingjiu quickly stopped her.

"Don't rush, it's not completely shaped yet."

"You can only let it out after it has been fully shaped. At that time, it will crawl out of the bag by itself, so you must not touch it."

Lingjiu looked at He Tao and said softly.

Lingjiu's explanation made He Tao understand the reasoning. She nodded, and although she was a little impatient, she restrained her impulse and quietly waited for the dog to come out of the bag on its own.

"Similar to a chick hatching?"

Lin Xiyue seemed to have thought of this immediately because of this statement, so she couldn't help but ask a question.

"That's right. So we can only patiently wait for it to work on its own. If we step in to help at this time, it will be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, and it will make all its previous efforts go to waste."

Lingjiu nodded and answered affirmatively.

During the short few minutes of their conversation, the cloth bag, which had been making occasional slight noises, suddenly fell completely silent.

Then, the little dog inside carefully pried open a gap in the bag.

First, a dark nose appeared, tentatively sniffing the surrounding air. Then, a furry golden retriever's head slowly emerged from the bag.

The moment the puppy saw He Tao, its eyes seemed to light up, sparkling with a bright light.

It seemed to recognize He Tao immediately, and without hesitation quickened its movements, swiftly breaking free from the bag's restraints.

The puppy, newly freed, was still a little uncoordinated. It stumbled and ran on the mat, trying to adapt to its newly shaped body.

"Good girl, so good! Yes, yes, come to your master's arms."

The moment He Tao saw it, her face lit up with a smile, and her voice was so gentle it seemed to melt hearts.

Her gaze fell tenderly on the little one, her eyes filled with doting affection.

Looking at the adorable creature, He Tao couldn't help but recall the first time she saw it when she was a child.

Back then, Guai Guai was just a tiny puppy, fluffy and with round, bright eyes, making it incredibly adorable. He Tao was drawn to its innocent and pure appearance, and from that moment on, she decided to take good care of this little life.

"Great, that's right, sweetie, I'll take you home."

He Tao spoke softly, her tone conveying a sense of reassurance and commitment.

She opened her arms, waiting for her little one to run into her embrace as usual.

Sure enough, Guai Guai did not disappoint her.

It wagged its tail excitedly, took short strides, and pounced on He Tao like a bolt of lightning.
