The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Production begins in Chapter 492.

"Um, let me ask you something."

Lin Xiyue began her speech in a preparatory manner.

"Do you usually use similar dolls for your work? I heard from Amo that nobles of your alien race actually like to use these... I think I remember correctly."

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue composed herself slightly and then asked cautiously.

As she spoke, she kept a close eye on Li Si's reaction, afraid that she might say something wrong.

"Yes, because puppets don't betray you, so they're very useful. Unless you need to make a grand display, in which case they're mostly made by real alien races."

However, before Li Si could answer, Meros, who had been calming his soul on the side, suddenly interrupted.

His voice was calm and gentle, directly stating the common practices of those foreign nobles.

As he spoke, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the arm closest to Si Li and Lin Xiyue.

To him, that arm was too close to Lin Xiyue, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Meros stared intently at Li Si's arm, his gaze sharp and piercing, and he didn't even blink.

Li Si naturally noticed Meros's actions. He followed Meros's gaze and instantly understood the other party's intention.

His expression changed slightly, and he quickly pulled his arm back without hesitation, as if his hand had been cut by Meros's glare.

Not only that, Li Si even moved his chair further away, increasing the distance between himself and Lin Xiyue, which finally made Mo Luo Si withdraw his gaze from him.

There was no way around it; Meros's gaze was simply too lethal.

"So this is how you usually style the doll?"

Lin Xiyue didn't notice anything amiss, but instead became very interested in what Molos had said. She blinked her big eyes and asked Li Si curiously.

"No, not under normal circumstances. We have dolls specifically for commercial use that you can buy directly. Once you've established a bond with them and injected your own energy, they'll be able to obey your commands. It's very convenient."

Melos was brought back to reality by Lin Xiyue's question. He smiled awkwardly and quickly explained.

"Oh, I see."

Lin Xiyue nodded thoughtfully.

"What if you don't have any dolls on hand, but you need their help?"

But soon Lin Xiyue raised a new question.

"Hmm... this situation is relatively rare. But if it does happen, I can use other objects to make some simple props or tools to temporarily replace the doll. Of course, the effect may not be as good as using a doll."

This question clearly caught Li Si off guard. He paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then answered.

"Just make one randomly, as long as it works, it's temporary anyway."

Li Si said somewhat embarrassedly, as he was holding the lump of material that had originally been shaped into a doll. Now, the lump of material had been reassembled by him, and it looked rather incongruous.

"Ah, cough cough cough. Anyway, that's how I am, you can arrange it as you see fit."

A blush of embarrassment spread across Li Si's face. He scratched his head and continued speaking.

After saying that, as if he had finally made up his mind, he placed the lump of material that had turned back into material on the table, and then turned to Lin Xiyue with a slightly helpless smile.

"Then, you can help me draw the magic circle. I'm not very familiar with this, so my drawing isn't very good. I haven't dared to touch it at all yet."

Lin Xiyue looked at Li Si's ears, which were already bright red, and couldn't help but find it a little funny. However, she suppressed her laughter and thought for a moment before speaking.

As she spoke, Lin Xiyue handed her arm, which was already shaped but had not yet had the magic array inscribed on it, to Li Si.

Upon seeing this, Li Si immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly reached out and took the arm, examining it closely.

"Okay, no problem."

After confirming that the craftsmanship of the arm was indeed exquisite, Li Si nodded in satisfaction and said.

"What do you ultimately plan to do with this doll?"

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Li Si looked up at Lin Xiyue and asked curiously.

"Here, this. It's intended for the soul."

Lin Xiyue said softly.

At the same time, she pulled out a thick stack of blueprints from the bottom of that huge pile of materials.

She gently placed the stack of drawings on the table in front of Li Si, and then slowly unfolded them.

These drawings were densely covered with all sorts of complex patterns and lines, with every detail depicted with extreme clarity.

"These are the design blueprints for the doll I need."

Lin Xiyue explained.

"I hope that once this doll is finished, it will be able to absorb energy from its surroundings on its own and be driven by a soul."

Then I shared my general thoughts.

Li Si curiously picked up one of the drawings and examined it carefully.

He discovered that these drawings not only marked the magic arrays that needed to be drawn on each part, but also explained in detail where to start drawing and how the various magic arrays should be connected.

"Oh? There are such detailed blueprints?"

Li Si exclaimed in surprise.

"This must have been drawn by Master Mo..."

As he spoke, he looked up, his gaze falling on Lin Xiyue, as if waiting for her confirmation.

“That’s right, it was indeed drawn by Amo. I don’t have such superb skills; these magic arrays are far too complicated for me.”

Lin Xiyue smiled and nodded, answering frankly.

Although her tone was somewhat unreasonable and assertive, the smile on her face appeared exceptionally sincere.

"Okay, thank you for your help! (*￣︶￣)"

Lin Xiyue smiled and expressed her gratitude for Li Si's help.

Li Si nodded, then carefully searched through the messy pile of drawings and finally found the one with the arm drawn on it.

He laid the drawings flat on the table and carefully compared them to ensure that every detail was accurate.

Then, without hesitation, Li Si picked up the carving knife next to him and carefully and precisely split his arm in the middle.

After completing this step, Li Si took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then began to work on the first node, gently carving the lines of the magic circle with a carving knife.

His movements were gentle and precise, as if he were creating a delicate work of art.

As Li Si focused intently on inscribing the magic circle, the entire wishing shop fell into silence once again.

Time passed quietly, and Li Si was completely immersed in his own world, oblivious to everything around him.

Unbeknownst to them, an enticing aroma slowly wafted through the air, filling the entire hall. This fragrance was rich and mellow, refreshing and delightful.
