Ye Luoli: The tides rise and fall, the moon whispers softly.

"How exactly should we do it?" Shui Qingli asked. "Puppet Spell is a special spell, so we should probably do some preparation work first."

"Yes." Qianqian said to Shui Qingli while carefully reviewing the documents, "First, we need to find some materials to create a body that can move, and then use puppetry techniques to give her an absolutely loyal puppet heart as her soul."

“However, since we’re going to be a fairy with the shadow attribute, why don’t we go to the Light Fairy’s Light Silk Altar and see if there are any usable materials?” Shui Qingli thought for a moment and proposed a very meticulous plan: “This way, we can minimize the risk of being exposed.”

The Light Silk Altar is the territory of the Light Fairy, so there should be some plants and trees containing the power of shadow. It wouldn't be difficult for Shui Qingli to create a form using these things.

"That's a good idea," Qianqian said thoughtfully.

“Then let’s go to the Guanglingluo Altar now.” Shui Qingli was getting impatient: “I feel like the war between Xinling and Mandora will start soon.”

Shui Qingli looked solemn. He had made thorough preparations this time, but he was still afraid that something unexpected might happen.

……

【Fairyland, Radiant Silk Altar】

Shui Qingli searched the area around the Guanglingluo Altar and finally found a peculiar plant in a not-so-obvious spot on the shady side of the building.

This plant is entirely purplish-black, with leaves that are incredibly realistic in feather shape, even with each leaf clearly defined. At the very top of the plant is a peculiar flower with purplish-black petals outlined in pure black, while the stamens are golden yellow, creating an indescribable contrast.

Just as other plants in the fairyland possess a certain amount of spiritual energy, this flower also carries a touch of dark, shadowy fairy power, making the entire flower appear even more gloomy.

"Prince Water, this flower is called the Dark Feather Flower. It's a relatively rare flower, named for its color and feather-like leaves." Qianqian, flipping through the information, said to Shui Qingli, "This flower grows near the Light Silk Altar and possesses inherent shadow attributes. Using it to create shadow-attribute puppets would definitely be much more effective."

“That’s exactly what I was thinking. I don’t think we need the whole plant; these should be enough.” Shui Qingli thought for a moment, then instead of uprooting the whole plant, she used her magic to pluck a few leaves and petals and break off a branch.

However, even after finding the materials, Shui Qingli still struggled with the task of shaping the form. What kind of fairy should he create?

"Water Prince, let me find you some pictures." Qianqian could tell from Shui Qingli's hesitant expression that he probably didn't know what kind of appearance to create.

"Okay." Shui Qingli picked a decent-looking picture from the ones Qianqian posted. He used his magic to piece together the leaves, petals, and branches, and then tried to use puppetry to create a form: "Ye Luoli Magic, Form Shaping!"

Before long, a delicate and lifelike doll appeared in front of Shui Qingli.

Perhaps influenced by the Fairy of Light, Shui Qingli also created a female fairy.

She had long black hair, styled in a neat ponytail, with a deep purple highlight in the middle of her black bangs. She had fair skin, delicate features, and no expression on her face.

She wore a white short-sleeved shirt and a short black skirt, with a black long-sleeved jacket over it. She also wore a black leather leg ring and short black leather boots, looking very cool and stylish overall.

Shui Qingli was satisfied with the work, but the only flaw was that it lacked soul; her dark eyes were lifeless.

"Next, all you need to do is imbue her with a soul using the Puppet Heart," Qianqian said. "This process will consume a lot of immortal power, but with your strength, you shouldn't need to worry about that."

"Alright, I'll give it a try." Shui Qingli was also quite curious about this spell, so she summoned the Puppetry Codex and cast the spell directly: "Ye Luoli Magic, Puppetry, Puppet Heart, imbue the puppet with soul color!"

The codex lit up with a peculiar seven-colored light, and numerous runes floated out from it, coalescing into a dazzling sphere of light before merging into the body of the created doll.

The next moment, the doll suddenly and rapidly grew larger, becoming no different from a normal fairy. A complex totem appeared on her forehead, and when she opened her eyes again, the same runes appeared in her pupils, only now they were hidden in her eyes and undetectable.
