Gu Shengyin reflected on the time and realized that at this moment, Di Yin had already rejected Chen Qiqi.

This means that the conflict between the two parties had already been planted.

Being the petty and vengeful person Chen Qiqi was, Gu Shengyin certainly wouldn’t consider turning hostility into friendship with her.

Counting carefully, around this time, Chen Qiqi might have found that foreign Sorcerer to cast sorcery on her brother, though she wasn’t sure if it’s successful.

Chen Qiqi wouldn’t let her go, Gu Shengyin thought she should make some preparations in advance.

She looked at the room full of puppets before her.

These things weren’t as terrifying as Gu Shengyin had previously imagined, quite the opposite; they were lifelike, and even those little animal ones appeared somewhat cute.

Gu Shengyin looked at the unfinished doll beside her.

Among all the puppets, those resembling human children, the Puppet Doll, had the strongest effect.

Whether used for blessings or curses.

Regarding this aspect, Gu Shengyin herself was unsure, but her cultivation manual had written it that way, and her master had always taught her like that.

Gu Shengyin gazed at the doll beside her; its facial features were formed, and half of its body had taken shape.

The remaining parts, it was evident that Di Yin hadn’t completed them.

Only the first step had been reached; generally, it was just the foundation to complete the overall appearance of a puppet.

Once the appearance is done, the Puppet Master needs to cover the doll’s body with talismans. For better results, the Puppet Master might even drop a bit of their own blood onto the puppet.

This could tie the Puppet Master’s connection to the puppet more closely; skilled Puppet Masters could even link their mind to the puppet, controlling it with their consciousness.

The doll was originally commissioned by someone to create for home protection.

However, Gu Shengyin had no inclination to give it to that person now, because he was a very cunning and sinister real estate developer, involved in multiple fatalities.

Di Yin didn’t mind such things, but Gu Shengyin had no fondness for such a person.

Noticing it was getting late, Gu Shengyin set aside the half-finished product, planning to head out to settle her lunch.

After stepping outside, she realized what kind of place she was actually in.

Here was a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one exit leading to the outside world.

Gu Shengyin’s house was a wooden cabin, with very simple furnishings.

But the puppet house she was just in was different; it was painstakingly constructed by Di Yin using special materials to ensure ample brightness inside, day or night, for her puppet crafting.

"System, skill extraction." Gu Shengyin spoke to the system while walking.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host, you’ve acquired the Blood Clan’s innate skill: Bloodline Power."

Gu Shengyin wondered, "Does this mean I can obtain such a powerful force as the Blood Clan?"

The system responded, "Not exactly."

Gu Shengyin asked in confusion, "Then what does it mean?"

The system explained, "This so-called innate skill means that your current bloodline now contains your own power. And blood containing bloodline power will have greater effects in certain aspects."

"For instance?" Gu Shengyin inquired.

The system gave an example: "For instance, in this task world, if the host adds your blood while crafting a puppet, you might receive an unexpected surprise."
