He looked on with some concern, knowing he couldnât really help.
Slowly, those black weapons finally dissipated.
At the same time, the expression of pain on the Puppet Dollâs face finally disappeared.
In Gu Shengyinâs line of sight, she saw a mass of transparent white halo separate from the Puppet Dollâs body.
After the mass of halo separated from the Puppet Dollâs body, it remained motionless, quietly suspended in mid-air.
Just at that moment, Gu Shengyinâs heart suddenly shook.
The contract between her and the Puppet Doll was broken.
Her gaze turned to the mass of white light.
Although she couldnât guess its intentions, she felt as if she could perceive it staring at her.
"Alright." She said coldly, "Now, you can return to your own body."
The mass of light did not move. Gu Shengyin raised her hand, flicked her sleeve lightly, and the white mass uncontrollably flew towards Chen Biyueâs body on the bed, sinking directly into his body.
Old Master Chen was listening as Gu Shengyin spoke to the void; he couldnât see anything, but could vaguely guess that there was something there.
He cautiously asked, "Master Di Yin, what was that just now?"
Gu Shengyin replied, "Your sonâs soul has returned to his body."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and reached out a hand to feel Chen Biyueâs glabella.
Furrowing her brows, Gu Shengyin extended her hand and took out a small puppet from the bag she carried with her.
The puppet was very small, roughly the size of an adultâs thumb, engraved with a lifelike fierce beast that looked somewhat familiar to Old Master Chen, but he couldnât identify it.
Gu Shengyin had no intention of explaining it to him.
She handed the item to Old Master Chen, "Young Master Chenâs Soul Body will be unstable for a few days. Place this beneath his pillow or hang it on his neck by tying it with something. He should awaken in about three days, and for the next ten days, he must not part with this item."
Old Master Chen carefully remembered all this.
Just then, there was a sudden "crack" sound in the room.
Both Old Master Chen and Gu Shengyin looked simultaneously.
The Puppet Doll in mid-air suddenly started to develop countless cracks from its forehead, spreading throughout its body, then fell directly and shattered into pieces.
Old Master Chen couldnât help but take a big step back.
In his eyes, that Puppet Doll looked like a real baby, and suddenly witnessing such an event was somewhat hard for him to accept.
Gu Shengyin said indifferently, "It is merely a puppet."
As she spoke, she slowly walked over, bent down, and placed a clean handkerchief on the ground, picking up all the pieces bit by bit.
The previously apprehensive expression on Old Master Chen suddenly froze.
He looked dazed at Gu Shengyinâs actions, with a careful demeanor carrying a hint of cherish.
He belatedly realized that this doll was probably very precious to the Puppet Master before him, wasnât it?
Yet, due to Biyue, the doll ended up like this.
Old Master Chen sighed softly.
He was not a saint and couldnât bring himself to spout grandiose words of righteousness in front of Gu Shengyin, because, even if he knew bringing his son back required a price, he would still do so.
He simply stepped in front of Gu Shengyin and said in a low voice, "Masterâs great kindness and virtue, my Chen Family will never forget. If thereâs anything needed in the future, my Chen Family will undoubtedly oblige without hesitation."
