The morning light filtered through the stained glass of the Magic Castle, casting a slanting glow on the Persian Velvet Blanket. Luna was gnawing on the felt ears of her plush toy with her newly emerged milk tooth.
Aelia's hand, which held the crystal teacup, trembled suddenly, sending ripples across the surface of the red tea in the Bone China Cup. She caught a glimpse of a fleeting silver purple glimmer deep within her daughter's pupil, reminiscent of the signs that heralded the awakening of the Great Mage within the Prophecy Ball.
"Is this crooked-mouthed rabbit really worth gnawing on for so long?" Aelia wrapped her daughter's flailing little feet in golden-threaded Pi Bo and gently tapped the skewed bow atop the plush toy's head. "Lucius is still so clumsy with his needlework."
Suddenly, Luna flipped over and sat up, causing her Magic Doll to burst into a shower of stardust.
Qin Si hurriedly reached out to catch the Emerald Bell that rolled out from the swaddling, only to be swatted away by Little Master Chubby's hand.
The baby stuffed the rabbit's ears into her mouth, while stardust settled onto Qin Si's hairpin made of Magic Crystal, forming three miniature Astrological Compasses.
"Madam, look!" Qin Si exclaimed, pointing at the spinning compass. "Last time Third Young Master Lucius failed in his Puppet Technique research, Luna drew patterns on parchment with her Crystal Baby Bottle that looked exactly like this compass's design!"
Aelia felt her Moonstone Necklace around her neck suddenly grow warm; it was the Oath crafted by Leonard during his proposal years ago.
She gazed at the faint Thorned Floral Pattern appearing on Luna's forehead and was suddenly reminded of the eerie scene in the cellar where her husband was wrapped in Infant Swaddling.
The Magic Crystal Rose's thorny bud rustled on the windowsill, shedding pollen that transformed into wriggling golden dust snakes in the sunlight.
"Meow!" The Three-Tailed Fire Spirit Cat perched on the hearth exploded its fur, and Luna's plush toy suddenly broke free from its swaddling and jumped onto the carpet.
As Qin Si gasped in shock, the seven-month-old baby crawled towards the Rabbit Doll using both hands and feet, leaving a trail of light spots reminiscent of Ying Huo bugs along her path.
"Stop her..." Aelia's cry caught in her throat.
Where Luna had crawled, those Bronze Armors bound by Leonard’s Binding Spell began to turn automatically, with blue moss seeping from the gaps in their visors.
The ancestral portraits hanging on the wall all removed their glasses, while seven or eight magical phonographs emerged from the frame to record this strange scene.
Qin Si chased after Luna, who was riding on a unicorn figurine that sprayed rainbow bubbles, as she reached the spiral staircase.
The baby girl, Laughter, giggled and patted the bronze beast's horn. With each tap, a sharp sound of chains breaking echoed from somewhere within the castle.
Perched on the candelabra, the Liuli Nightingale suddenly spoke up, "Little Rascal! You pulled Grandpa Butler's Magic Broomstick tail bald yesterday!"
"It was the broom that hit Luna's Teething Stick first!" Luna retorted with a mouthful of words, casually stuffing a Rabbit Doll into the nightingale's nest.
As the Liuli Bird shrieked and took flight, half of a pocket watch engraved with a Black Dragon Pattern fell from the nest. The poisonous snake pointer on its dial began to spin wildly.
When Qin Si finally managed to hold Little Master, who was covered in glowing Dandelion fluff, Luna was busy gnawing on the stone slab in front of the Griffin Statue at the Library door.
The Bronze Griffin playfully curled its tail to offer a handful of Moonlight Berries, but the baby turned away to grab the floating Magic Star Chart.
Those stars transformed from Lucius's blood were disturbed by Chubby's little hands and rearranged into the pattern of Baby Palm.
"Miss should take a nap now." Qin Si wrapped the fidgeting Little Luna in a Spider Silk Cloak, not noticing three strands of silver hair drifting down from Luna's fingertip.
As they touched the ground, they transformed into bouncing Lily of the Valley Fairies, leading several Glowing Snails toward a mouse hole in the crack of the West Tower.
As the Sun Wheel tilted westward, Luna took advantage of Qin Si dozing off to slip out of her Cradle.
She wore six storytelling Magic Collars around her neck, while seven Crystal Frogs followed behind her, automatically playing a Lullaby.
When Castle Lord Bell struck the sixth chime, the infant suddenly stopped in front of the Golden Oak Door adorned with a Wisteria Pattern—this was the direction indicated by This Morning's Stardust Letter.
Shadows seeping from the Door Gap wrapped around Luna's ankles but retreated in terror upon touching the Guardian Silver Chain tied to her wrist by Aelia.
The baby pressed her honey biscuit-covered hand against the door panel, and suddenly, thousands of Amber Eyes opened within the vine-covered mural on the wall.
At the moment a sound of shattering porcelain echoed from another room, Luna plunged into the darkness that had abruptly opened.
As Qin Si rushed in with a Magic Lantern into the side hall, Luna was crouched on the Obsidian Floor Tiles, studying the glowing Vine Pattern.
The infant's silver hair shimmered with Pearl Luster in the dark, and the magical inscriptions brushed by her Skirt began to grow upward along the Lace trim, blooming tiny Moonlight Roses.
"Miss, you can't go in here..." The maid's voice suddenly faltered.
The light from the lantern's Halo swept across the wall, revealing twelve floating Secret Silver Armors—within their hollow visors, thorny Magic Crystal Roses were now blooming.
Luna suddenly burst into laughter, tugging at Qin Si's skirt and pointing at the ceiling.
Inside the Crystal Chandelier were thousands of frozen Magic Fireflies, each insect's abdomen emerging with patterns of different constellations.
As Luna wobbled toward the altar, Qin Si realized her shadow was pinned in place.
With each step the infant took, a corner of the Hexagram Formation on the altar lit up, and the Astrolabe embedded in the Wall began to Reverse Rotation.
When Luna placed the rabbit doll on the statue's knee, the moonlight suddenly pierced through the dome and illuminated the statue's forehead—what should have been the Compassionate Goddess with closed eyes and bowed head now opened her flowing Xing Hui eyes.
"Take... take it home!" Luna exclaimed, patting the statue's base, causing the moonstone embedded in it to suddenly fall in a flurry.
Qin Si watched in horror as those gems transformed mid-air into flapping wings of a Robin, while the statue's skirt began to lose its stone luster, revealing the true Silk Pattern beneath.
As a maid picked up Luna, the Magic Candles surrounding the altar simultaneously extinguished.
In the darkness, the sound of chains scraping could be heard, and the eye sockets of twelve Secret Silver Armors glowed red.
Yet Luna excitedly waved a Crystal Hairpin that she had pulled from the statue's hair, and the trail it left in the air crystallized into a glowing Protective Spell.
"Miss, stop messing around!" Qin Si hurriedly shoved the statue into the inner space of a Magic Lantern, which suddenly became scalding hot.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna stuffed three Magic Robins into her drool pouch, and those birds immediately transformed into Sapphire Buttons, quieting down.
As they slipped out of the side hall, Luna suddenly blew a bubble at the armor in the corridor.
What should have triggered an alarm in the Defensive Magic Circle instead played a cheerful waltz, and the Bronze Guardian wielding a halberd began to tap dance to the rhythm.
Qin Si stared at the remnants of Xing Hui on Little Master’s fingertip and finally became aware that those seemingly foolish actions were subtly rewriting the castle's magical rules.
As moonlight filtered through the Colored Window into the Nursery, Luna was busy placing the statue's gemstone crown onto her puppet's head.
At that moment, Aelia's footsteps echoed down the corridor, prompting Qin Si to hurriedly hide the statue inside a Singing Toy Box.
As the lid of the box closed, three strands of silver Purple Smoke seeped out from the Gap, forming a web of Luna around the Cradle.
Suddenly, a Night Owl's hoot echoed from somewhere in the castle, causing all the Magic Crystal Roses outside the Nursery to turn towards the east.
Luna suddenly pointed and shouted towards the garden fountain, where a group of glowing elemental creatures was gnawing at the Moonlight Orchid. However, what truly caught her attention was a Magic Vortex taking shape beneath the Fountain Statue.
As the sunset bathed the Colored Glazed Windows of the West Wing of the Demon Fortress in a Honey Color, Luna was perched on Aelia's lap, playing with an astrological Silver Spoon.
A fluffy golden shadow suddenly darted past the Rose Window, causing all six Magic Collars around the infant's neck to emit a crisp chime simultaneously.
When the Three-Tailed Fire Spirit Cat leaped down from the chandelier, it knocked over a crystal fruit bowl, and rolling Moonlight Berries splattered sparkling Blue Blood Fern Juice onto the Persian Carpet.
"Gah!" Luna crawled towards the terrace using both hands and feet, while the lapis lazuli rolling toy picked up by Qin Si jingled behind her.
Aelia's Fingertip conjured a detection spell, but as it touched her daughter's Hair Tips, it transformed into drifting Silver Powder—a little duck, entirely golden, was curled up in the woven Cradle, its tail feathers shimmering with an unusual Pearl Luster.
"Where did Luna find such a treasure?" Aelia wrapped her daughter's kicking little legs in a brocade Pi Bo, feeling the Moonstone Necklace near Duck Midnight suddenly turn icy cold.
The Little Duck gently pecked at the infant's Wrist where the Guardian Silver Chain lay, leaving behind Light Spots resembling Ying Huo bugs on the chain.
Luna stuffed her fingers, dusted with Honey Biscuit Crumbs, into the duckling's down, causing those golden tufts to stand up like tiny hedgehogs.
Qin Si hurriedly offered a magical Magic Pacifier, but it was used by the infant to dip into jam and draw a Duck outline instead.
Aelia noticed that Duck's webbed feet bore faint Thorned Floral Patterns that strikingly resembled a certain Forbidden Technique totem she had seen in the Cellar.
"The castle moat had dried up three months ago." Qin Si was cleaning up the feather debris with a Magic Broomstick. "The kitchen said there were no ducks among the live poultry delivered this morning..." Before he could finish, Luna suddenly stuffed half a Star Moon Cookie into the duck's beak.
The Astrological Symbol on the cookie twisted as if it had come to life, startling the Little Duck, which flapped its wings and flew to the windowsill, knocking over a Magic Crystal Flower vase that spilled waves of sea-salt-scented water.
Aelia waved her Pi Bo to catch the falling Amethyst, but she saw her daughter angrily crawling toward the escaping Duck.
In the corridor of the Magic Castle, the Bronze Candlestick automatically lowered its lamp chain. Luna grabbed the chain and swung like a swing to intercept the Little Duck, while a Coral Hairpin in her hair suddenly sprouted vines that ensnared her prey.
"I want to take a nap with Duck!" Luna stuffed the struggling Little Duck into her robe's front. Qin Si held up a Magic Dreamcatcher, unsure of what to do.
Aelia tried to soothe her daughter with Hypnotic Rose Essence, but the pink mist crystallized into ice upon touching the duck's feathers.
The Guardian Silver Chain around the infant's neck suddenly tightened, forming a glowing Cocoon-Shaped Barrier around the Duck.
As moonlight crept up the Enamel Pane of the Nursery, Luna curled up in her down comforter, playing finger games with the Duck.
Qin Si attempted for the seventh time to replace the Little Duck with a Magic Puppet, but those dolls with Ruby eyes were always petrified by the infant's tears Spell.
Aelia watched as her daughter clutched the duck's feathers tightly in her sleep and quietly cast a Life Detection Spell around the Cradle.
At midnight, a silver chain on Luna's wrist suddenly rang out like a Tide.
The sleeping Little Duck was surrounded by emerging ancient runes that resonated wonderfully with the Binding Spell of the Castle Floor Tiles.
Outside the window, the Magic Crystal Rose wilted at an observable speed, while a Magic Cookie under Luna's pillow oozed pale blue Blue Blood Fern Juice.
During the eighth inspection, Qin Si discovered that Duck had somehow burrowed into the Moonlight Orchid pot.
The petals infused with Luna's glow were casting light onto the duck's webbed feet, while Luna's Coral Hairpin was etched with twisted Guardian Spells along the edge of the pot.
As Castle Lord Bell rang the first Morning Bell, the last Moonlight Orchid petal suddenly fell onto Duck's Jin Yu.
The morning mist had yet to dissipate when Luna, barefoot, tumbled down in front of the Moonlight Orchid pot.
She clutched a few strands of Jin Yu stained with Luna's essence against Little Duck's chest, but that warm little body had already turned cold.
Tears from the infant fell onto Duck's tightly shut eyelids, forming tiny ice crystals that rolled away—last night’s glowing Thorn Pattern webbed feet were now covered in gray spots resembling a Spider Web.
"Luna Baby, let Sister Qin Si take a look." The maid wrapped the shivering infant’s Lucius' Thin Shoulders in star-weaving silk but found her Skirt being tugged towards the pot by some unseen force.
When Aelia hurried over, the Moonstone Necklace suddenly burst forth with a chilling light, illuminating the strange patterns spreading beneath Duck—a decayed Moonlight Orchid Root System was forming a fragmented Ancient Spell in the soil.
Aelia knelt behind her daughter, and the Cedar Fragrance of Morning Dew Rose wafted from her sleeves. "Little Duck has gone swimming in the Star Sea; shall we send it off on a Flame Ship?" She conjured three clusters of Silver Fire at her Fingertip, but the Dark Purple Flame bizarrely curled towards the corpse cradled in Luna's arms.
Suddenly, the infant let out a heart-wrenching wail, and all twelve Magic Wind Chimes hanging from the Window Lattice exploded simultaneously.
As Qin Si retreated to the archway with the tearful child, Aelia had already trapped the floating Duck Corpse with a Hexagram Formation.
The Castle Steward’s hand delivering Fire Opal suddenly froze—those magical fuels that should have been stable transformed into a fluttering Firefly Swarm as they approached the formation.
Luna struggled to throw away her snot-covered Magic Pacifier; the Crystal Pacifier turned into a transparent bubble mid-air, enveloping Duck Corpse, with reflections of Castle Cellar emerging on its surface.
"Madam, the Binding Spell has loosened!" Qin Si exclaimed.
At the edge of the formation, Yin Sha suddenly surged backward, causing Aelia's hairpin, shaped like a crescent moon, to snap in response.
The uncontrolled Magic Flame transformed into a golden phoenix that soared into the sky, shattering the Dome's Stained Glass.
Luna's tears evaporated into mist in the Heat Wave, coalescing in mid-air into glowing Xiao Yu that fell gently.
As the last wisp of golden flame dissipated within Chen Feng, Qin Si stumbled through the door of the Nursery, clutching an urn.
Her long hair, dark as ebony, was singed and curled. Luna was covered in Ashes from Rainbow magic. "Those flames... they came back to life!" The maid's voice trembled with tears. "The urn swallowed seven Fire Opals and finally spat this out..."
Aelia caught the floating golden droplet, her reflection in its surface suddenly transforming into her eighteen-year-old self—the night Leonard proposed by the Starry Night fountain.
The Moonstone Necklace emitted a sharp pain, and she suddenly recalled the wilted Magic Crystal Rose from last night; those thorny Buds had also oozed a similar golden Blue Blood Fern Juice.
"Master Lucius will arrive this afternoon." Qin Si wiped the dust from the Crystal Lamp Shade. "He has improved the bird-calling Magic Circle and said he would show Miss how to weave a garland with a Lark." The maid did not notice a sesame-sized Jin Sha quietly sprouting in the window's Gap.
Aelia's Fingertip brushed against the sword marks on the Nursery wall—testimony to Lucius's failed experiment with Puppet Technique three years ago.
She remembered how stubborn he had been: "Since living beings can betray, I will create an everlasting loyalty." Those Bronze birds with interlocking gears had caused a blackout in West Tower for three days but had inadvertently repaired the castle's ancient ventilation system.
Suddenly, Luna clung to the edge of the Cradle and stood up, her tear-streaked eyelashes fluttering.
Her chubby little hands patted the urn, and the golden light seeping through its Gap painted swimming koi on the carpet.
Aelia picked up her daughter and noticed that the Magic Cookie in her sock had transformed into a golden feather shape.
As twilight approached, notes from the Harp being tuned drifted from the East Wing.
Luna insisted on wearing the Shell Necklace that told stories of the starry sky. Whenever Qin Xian emitted a specific frequency, a glowing Seahorse Sprite would emerge from the shell.
The infant crawled unsteadily toward the source of the sound, followed by a Magic Broomstick that automatically tidied up her toys.
Upon encountering a maid delivering tea and snacks around the corner, Luna suddenly grabbed the raspberry jam from the tray and smeared it against the wall.
Qin Si was about to intervene but noticed that the jam had drawn a blurred Bird-Shaped Pattern on the stone wall—exactly like Lucius's design for the Puppet bird from years ago.
Further away, remnants of morning cremation, Jin Sha, were gathering on the Window Lattice, taking on a fluttering form.
As the first ray of moonlight crept up Luna's Hair Tips, she suddenly pointed at the sky and attempted to mimic Yi Ya's speech.
Aelia followed her daughter's finger and saw a glimpse of Bronze Liuguang passing through a gap in the clouds, resembling traces left by some Mechanical Wings.
Meanwhile, their shadows quietly split into bird-shaped Dark Spots of varying sizes beneath them.
Golden sunlight filtered through the Magic Castle's Colored Glazed Window, casting a colorful Halo on the garden's bluestone pavement.
Luna's chubby little hand grasped at the Rosebush, her Amber Eyes suddenly narrowing as she spotted a fluffy creature curled up among the leaves.
"Ga!" The pure white Little One shook its three Jin Yu atop its head. As its glass-like Eye turned, it refracted a dazzling Rainbow Light.
Luna's heart raced; this was clearly the Magic Messenger, Jing Tong Ya, which was supposed to appear three years later.
"Yi Ya!" Before the Lullaby Voice could finish, the Little One was already wrapped in swaddling.
Drawing on her memories from her past life, Luna activated elemental magic. A stream of blue light spilled from her fingertips, dancing over the duck feathers. Jing Tong Ya squinted in comfort, blissfully unaware of the impending danger.
Suddenly, a Magic Vortex spiraled out of control in her palm, and Luna felt her insides being pulled into the eye of a hurricane.
The crisp sound of shattering glass echoed like a crystal chandelier, and the small life in her hand slumped lifelessly.
"Miss!" Qin Si's Qian Jiao startled the perched birds into flight.
As Aelia rushed over, holding her Silver Thread Embroidered Shoes' skirt, she stumbled upon her daughter burying her face in the bloodstained swaddling, tears spreading dark stains across her Magic Robe.
The fire pit ignited with Shan Na, and an eerie purple flame shot skyward.
Luna stared at the crystalline illusion emerging from the heart of the flames, hearing her mentor's warning from her past life: "Time traveler, every breath you take rewrites the laws of causality..."
"Third Young Master Lucius is once again drawing all birds to him!" The whispers of the maids floated on the wind.
Luna suddenly looked up; the Colored Glazed Window reflected Lucius wielding magic. A dazzling halo of birds' wings wove behind him—this was clearly the Secret Technique that only appeared in Chapter 300 of the Original!
