The black mist erupted upon touching Shan Na's skin, precisely struck by the milk that the baby spat out.
Luna kicked her legs like those of Oujie, and the moonstone on the silver chain suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance, shattering all the magical lights in the Treatment Room Dome.
"The Soul Devouring Curse is on the third level of the trophy's Base, in the Dark Compartment!" Aelia's exclamation overlapped with Luna's cry. As Qin Si hurriedly wiped the corners of the baby's mouth, she discovered that the milk stains had etched a Celestial Chart pattern into the oak floor.
The therapist's crystal tweezers suddenly turned, poking at the amethyst embedded in the Champion Trophy.
The black mist screeched as Shan Na transformed, and the thorn pattern on her elder brother's neck abruptly took on a tangible form.
Luna gripped the silver chain tightly, her palm oozing light gold blood as she traced a fragmented reverse version of the Soul Devouring Curse onto Qin Si's swaddling cloth, which was embroidered with a High-Level Protective Spell.
The Youth Champion suddenly grabbed the Ice Crystal Staff and slammed it down onto the ground, causing all metallic objects in the Treatment Room to emit a harmonious hum.
"Moonlight Festival!" Aelia's sleeve released Twelve Rays Silver Shuttle, which accurately pinned down the positions of the Celestial Chart's Twelve Houses.
The black mist rising from her elder brother's old leg injury was pinned into a spider web shape by the Silver Shuttle. Seizing this opportunity, Luna sprayed the crushed Astrology Paper into the air—those saliva-stained scraps transformed into burning runes, weaving into a golden Vine Cage along the track of the Silver Shuttle.
As the last wisp of black mist was extinguished within the Vine Cage, the thorn pattern writhing beneath her elder brother's skin suddenly faded away.
The therapist trembled as she held up the detection crystal; what was once murky Magic Flow now appeared as clear as a spring stream in early spring.
The Youth Champion incredulously extended his right leg, and Moonlight Patterns flowed forth with pure Ice Blue Magic Radiance with his movement.
"Luna just now..." Qin Si stared blankly at the laughing baby in her arms, suddenly noticing that an Ancient Incantation was emerging on the surface of the moonstone attached to her silver Chain Pendant.
As Aelia bent down to pick up her daughter, she caught a whiff of Milk Fragrance mixed with Violet Potion—the distinctive scent of purification agents crafted by a Great Mage.
Seizing this moment, Luna tugged at Aelia's flowing silver hair and pressed her fingertip stained with Golden Blood against her neck.
The Lady of the Fortress suddenly froze; memories of last night’s encounter at White Rose Manor surged into her mind like a tide: Leonard lifting an Illegitimate Child over his shoulder, those dark red pupils swirling with dual Star Trails resembling what had just been projected in the Dome.
"Madam!" Qin Si exclaimed as he steadied the staggering Aelia, unaware that Luna had quietly slipped half a piece of Astrology Paper into Second Brother's clothing.
At that moment, the despondent young man sitting beneath the Wisteria Arbor was fixated on the shattered Contract Ring, the crystal Ring Face reflecting his friend's smiling face in an eerie grayish hue under the sunlight.
Amidst the sudden Loud Cry of a baby, Second Brother noticed that the Astrology Paper at his side had automatically arranged itself into a Tarot formation.
As he trembled and touched the Reverse Magician card with his Fingertip, the Contract Ring suddenly projected a three-dimensional image—clearly revealing the scene of his friend trading with a Black Market Merchant, who held in hand Second Brother's original Magic Pattern Blueprint.
"So, it turns out to dissolve the Soul Contract requires Evening Primrose Juice..." Second Brother murmured as he read the new Tiny Inscriptions emerging on the back of the Astrology Paper, his Bloodshot eyes rekindling with light.
He burst into the Magic Potion Workshop, knocking over three Crystal Bottles. The Light Purple Potion spilled onto the Parchment, forming a hint that read "The betrayer's Neck has three black moles."
As the sunset bathed the Magic Castle Spire in Amber hues, Third Young Master Lucius stumbled past with a Wine Bottle from the Training Ground.
He scoffed at Second Brother setting up a Detection Magic Circle among the Black Roses, his drunken gaze sweeping over the dusty Starfall Sword on the Weapon Rack, oblivious to Luna's silver chain subtly guiding a beam of moonlight toward the sword's hilt embedded with Eternal Night Meteorite.
From the nursery came a Yin Ling-like laughter, and the night breeze stirred Luna's scattered Astrology Cards in her Cradle.
Among them, The Hanged Man card was lifted by the gust, gently covering traces of Wine Liquid drifting in from outside. The card gradually revealed a Celestial Chart obscured by blood stains—that was Third Young Master Lucius's original data altered three years ago during the Talent Test.
---
The Starfall Sword Resonates
Lucius kicked open the Bronze Door of the Training Ground in a drunken stupor, and under the moonlight, the dusty Starfall Sword suddenly emitted a Buzzing sound.
The Eternal Night Meteorite embedded in its hilt glowed with an unusual Indigo hue, refracting the remaining Amber Liquid in his Wine Bottle into shattered fragments of a Star Map.
"Shut up!" he yelled as he grabbed the Wine Bottle and smashed it against the Weapon Rack, only to discover that the mottled rust on Starfall Sword's surface was flaking away amidst the sound of shattering glass.
Luna's silver chain had unknowingly ensnared Jian Sui, and from the Halo of the Moonstone emerged the scene from three years ago during the Talent Test—what should have been a brilliant Star Trail was twisted into a Thorn-Shaped form by the Dark Red Incantation.
The Truth of Talent
Brother San staggered back a step, the effects of alcohol chased away by cold sweat.
In his memory, the Test Officer's regretful sigh overlapped with his father's disappointed gaze. Yet at this moment, he saw a completely different scene reflected in the Sword Body: the Silver Blue Talent Stream that should have infused the Testing Crystal was forcibly tainted into a murky Dark Golden by a magical barrier.
"Back then..." He trembled as he reached out to touch the hilt of the sword. The Eternal Night Meteorite suddenly burned his palm, revealing the forgotten Family Secret Phrase—"Eternal Stars, Sword Heart Eternal."
Suddenly, Luna's Cradle resonated with Qing Yue's bell sound, and the silver chain magnified the Star Projection several times under the moonlight, clearly reflecting the Galactic Whirlpool sealed within his innate talent.
The Moment of Awakening
"Third Young Master Lucius, look closely!" Qin Si appeared suddenly around the Emerald Corridor's Turn Corner, holding Luna.
From the Astrology Card waved by the infant, the "Power" card flew out and precisely embedded itself into a crack in the Celestial Chart.
Brother San's pupils dilated sharply as he recalled his fourteen-year-old self secretly burying Cultivation Notes beneath the Yew Tree—those arrangements deemed as "Error" curses now perfectly aligned with the Track of the Galactic Whirlpool.
Luna suddenly burst into giggles, and the milk foam she expelled crystallized into Ice Crystal Runes on the surface of the Starfall Sword.
Brother San instinctively grasped the hilt; dormant magical power surged into his Meridian like a flood breaking through a dam. The twelve magical lamps in the Training Ground exploded in response, startling Ye Qi's Murder of Crows.
Blood Rose
Meanwhile, Aelia's Ailya's Silver Gloves dug deeply into the Rose Wall.
In a panic, Qin Si presented evidence—a fragment of swaddling stained with Outside Concubine Family Crest—now oozing Purple-Black venom under the moonlight.
She recalled the purification potion that Ye Lu had given her yesterday, trembling as she poured the liquid onto the fragments, which twisted into the outline of Leonard's Lucius.
"Madam!"
Before Qin Si could finish his sentence, Aelia had transformed into Silver Flow and dashed toward her husband's study.
As she burst through the Golden Oak Door, engraved with a High-Level Protective Spell, she caught sight of Leonard hiding an encrypted Communication Crystal in a Dark Compartment. The surface of the crystal still held a Projection, and the double Star Pattern on the illegitimate child's forehead mirrored the curse-breaking Star Trail that Luna had deciphered.
Eleven, The Shattered Oath
"Whose Star Trail and Inheritance does that child belong to?" Aelia's question rang with the sharpness of ice crystals colliding.
As Leonard turned around, his Family Crest suddenly shattered, revealing a hidden crimson Magic Pattern beneath—an imprint of a Soul Contract sold on the black market.
"It was merely for the continuation of our Bloodline..." The Lord's defense was interrupted by Aelia tearing apart the Marriage Contract.
The Star Sand Parchment Shard ignited in midair, burning to Ashes and revealing a truth hidden for thirty years within the Hidden Layer: the promise of an "Eternal Heart" made during his courtship was actually a crystallization of a Forbidden Technique stolen from the Moonlight Elven Royal Court.
Twelve, The Rising Tide
As the first light of dawn pierced through the Stained Glass, Luna was leaning on Qin Si's shoulder, observing the Astrolabe.
The sound of Brother San wielding the Starfall Sword echoed from the Training Ground, while Second Brother's Detection Magic Circle lit up with an Eerie Blue Glow amidst the Black Rose bushes. Behind the curtains of East Wing Tower, Aelia pinned a poisoned Hairpin into her disheveled silver hair.
Lucius curled up in the shadows of the Emerald Corridor, clutching an empty Wine Bottle. His Pupil reflected the silver detection net interwoven above Magic Castle and a crimson Protective shield.
Unaware, he rubbed his worn Gold Thread Family Crest on his sleeve, oblivious to the Wine Liquid staining his hem, which was strangely resonating with Luna's Ice Crystal Incantation melting beside her Cradle.
The night wind in July carried the scent of Black Rose through the crack in the Bronze Door, and Lucius suddenly felt the Wine Liquid in his Sleeve become scalding hot.
He looked down and saw the Moonstone Powder outlining a Star Map on his collar, the shimmering silver particles slowly flowing along the altered Talent Track from three years ago.
"Resonance Magic?" The alcohol buzz faded instantly, and the residual burn from the Eternal Night Meteorite on his Palm suddenly stung.
In the corner of the Training Ground, the Starfall Sword continued to hum as Leonard's sword emitted a sound. The Celestial Chart projected from the hilt showed a crow from the Outsider Family soaring past the star that represented the Magic Fortress Master Tower.
When Lucius kicked open the Golden Oak Door to the nursery, Luna was leaning on Qin Si's shoulder, nibbling on an Astrology Card.
Moonlight poured down through the Dome skylight, and suddenly, the Twelve Rune Stones hanging from a Silver Chain Pendant began to float in mid-air, forming a gap in the Defensive Formation's Coordinate right before his eyes.
"You knew all along?" Third Young Master Lucius tugged at his wine-stained collar, realizing that the Family Crest on his Collarbone was burning hot.
The baby in the Cradle suddenly burst into laughter, and the Milk Foam it spat out crystallized in mid-air into Cipher Symbols commonly used in Black Market Contracts.
Qin Si stepped back in fear, "Third Young Master Lucius, Luna started playing with these this morning..." Before he could finish, the baby's chubby Palm suddenly slapped down on the Astrolabe's rotating disk.
The positions of the Twelve Houses lit up simultaneously, projecting Lucius's sealed Talent Map from three years ago onto the Black Rose window.
At that moment in the Training Ground, his elder brother's Ice Crystal Staff erupted with an unprecedented Magic Radiance.
He stretched out his healed Right Leg as Thorn Patterns transformed into flowing Guardian Magic Patterns that climbed up the staff.
The Silver Shuttle of the Moonlight Festival circled around him, inscribing a ten-meter diameter Elemental Amplification Array on the Ground.
"Fifteen degrees east of north, Magic Torrent anomaly." He pointed his staff toward the clock tower; a Frost Arrow condensed at the tip of his Scepter instantly pierced through three layers of Protective barriers.
As Ye Qi's Murder of Crows took flight, the curtains of the East Wing Tower suddenly swayed, and Aelia's poisoned Hairpin glinted coldly in the darkness.
Luna suddenly grabbed Lucius's dangling hair tips and slapped the Astrology Card, stained with milk, against his hand.
The inverted "Chariot" card flipped over, combining with the "Star" card to form an ancient Teleportation Array Diagram.
The Star Sand Clock in the corner of the nursery began to reverse, and the Twelve Rune Stones rearranged themselves into a Magic Castle's Three-D Model.
"Are you going to rebuild the Defensive Core?" Lucius's pupils dilated as he noticed a red dot lighting up at the location of the Wine Cellar in the model's Southwest Corner—where his father had stored the Moonlight Amber acquired from the elves last year.
Luna kicked her legs, and a silver chain suddenly wrapped around his wrist, branding his skin with the access rune for the Starshine Library.
As the first rays of dawn painted the Magic Castle Spire red, his elder brother's Frost Storm had already enveloped the entire Training Ground.
His tattered Mage Robe rustled in the howling wind, while a newly formed Guardian Magic Pattern on his nape and his Scepter emitted Ice Blue light in the shape of wings.
A sound of shattering crystal echoed from the East Corridor as Second Brother rushed into the courtyard, clutching a Contract smeared with Evening Primrose Juice, unaware that the detection magic powder clinging to his hem was drifting toward the Wine Cellar.
The morning mist had yet to clear when Second Brother stood before the ventilation window of the Alchemy Laboratory.
His hand holding the dropper trembled slightly as Evening Primrose Juice fell into the Crystal Bowl's Shan Na, causing the Contract's Remnant Page to suddenly ignite with Silver Purple Flame.
The runes marked by Luna reassembled in the flames, projecting a trader's Magic Pattern Tattoo onto the Lapis Lazuli countertop.
"Northeast three moles..." He dipped into the solution and drew coordinates on the Observation Mirror, as a layer of Pale Golden Mist suddenly enveloped the Lens.
The fragment of Astrology Card that Ye Luna had tucked into his clothing yesterday emitted a hum from within the drawer, resonating beautifully with the Ice Crystal Staff drifting in from outside.
A crisp sound of metal clashing echoed from the Training Ground.
Brother San's grip on the sword was shattered by the sudden surge of energy from the Starfall Sword, causing the Blood Pearl to seep into the sword's handle groove along the patterns of the Eternal Night Meteorite.
He gazed at the newly formed Galactic Whirlpool magic mark on his palm, suddenly recalling the curse he had carved at Cypress Tree Hollow when he was four years old—those arrangements of Star Trails deemed "taboo" now perfectly aligned with the light bands flowing from the sword's handle.
"Wrist, raise it half an inch higher," his elder brother's voice carried through the archway, laced with frost breath.
His tattered mage robe billowed in the wind created by Chen Feng, revealing a guardian magic pattern glowing with an ice blue halo at the nape of his neck.
As Brother San adjusted his posture in accordance with Shan Na's instructions, the Starfall Sword unexpectedly guided his arm in a mystical arc, cleaving a granite target ten meters away in half.
In front of Aelia's grooming table, twelve intricately carved Yin Shu were submerged in violet potion.
Qin Si's hands trembled as he held a crystal bottle, watching as his lady slowly inserted the cursed hairpin into the potion.
When the eyes of the nightingale carved on the pin suddenly glowed red, ripples spread across the surface of the dressing mirror, revealing a three-dimensional diagram of the magic castle. Three hundred sixty flickering contract magic patterns resembled a scarlet spider web.
"Move Luna's cradle to the observation platform." Aelia's fingertip brushed across the mirror's surface, causing those magic patterns to extend energy dark purple threads, more than half converging toward the West Clock Tower.
She failed to notice that silver threads on the combing mirror were quietly wrapping around her sleeve, transmitting last night's magical aura from Leonard's study into the monitoring array.
As noon sunlight streamed through the stained glass, Second Brother's experiment table was already piled high with calculation parchments.
His newly formulated contract manifestation agent layered within a glass tube, and surprisingly, the deep purple sediment at the bottom arranged itself into the missing northern constellation of the celestial chart.
Unbeknownst to him, Luna's silver chain had wrapped around the microscope stand, and a light spot refracted by a moonstone perfectly filled in a gap in the star trail.
"So this is how to unlock a contract—the key is inverse resonance..." He grabbed a feather pen and noted down his formula on his arm. Just then, an intruding Brother San accidentally smudged his calculations before they could dry.
The residual energy fluctuations from the Starfall Sword swept over the test tube rack, causing twenty-three different potions to boil simultaneously and erupt into rainbow-colored magic fireworks within the explosion-proof barrier.
Aelia stood in the Courtyard Rose Garden, watching as the crystal nozzles of the Automatic Irrigation System sprayed a detection potion over the flowerbeds.
The moment the light blue liquid touched the soil, the Nightlight Roses, once lovingly planted by Leonard, suddenly faded. From their Root System emerged a Dark Red Contract Rune.
She crouched down and used her Silver Dagger to lift a vine, discovering that the Blue Blood Fern Juice contained suspended double Star Trail particles unique to Illegitimate Children.
"Madam, Third Young Master Lucius is at the Training Ground..." Qin Si's report was abruptly interrupted by a sudden surge of energy.
The Magic Castle's East Wing erupted with an Ice Blue Light Column, while the West Clock Tower responded with a Crimson Barrier. The two forces intertwined in the air, forming a massive Dual Star Totem—the very Core Formation Array missing from the Contract.
As the sunset painted the Magic Castle Spire amber, Leonard stood before the floor-to-ceiling window of his study.
The Communication Crystal he held suddenly grew hot, and the Surveillance Footage projected revealed that the supposedly abandoned Training Ground flickered with Ice Blue Sword Qi. The Detection Magic Circle in the East Wing Laboratory was scanning the Clock Tower Shield.
When he attempted to mobilize the Shadow Guard, he found that the Head of House Badge on his chest had lost its connection to the Underground Prison's restrictions.
As Lord turned, he accidentally knocked over an Antique Astrolabe. The Liujin Pointer spun wildly before settling on the position of "Crisis Moon Swallow."
He failed to notice the melting snow on the windowsill, which mirrored the pattern formed by the melting astrological ice crystal beside Luna's Cradle—an indication that the Great Mage's unique Prewarning Array was coming into effect.
Luna curled up in her Lustrous Cradle, her fine silver hair shimmering with a Pearl Luster.
She condensed her magic into Dark Purple Threads that seeped into her brother's Wheelchair. The Dark Purple Rebound Magic Pattern entwined around his Spine suddenly rippled.
"Cough!" The Star Chart in his hand shattered with a sound, and Crystal Fragments floated in midair, forming a Strange Array Diagram.
He realized with shock that deep within his withered Magic Circuit lay a faint Stellar Resonance.
Meanwhile, a sudden chill swept through the Alchemy Workshop of Second Brother.
Just as he was about to reinforce the sealing bottle, his hand froze. In the reflection of the bottle, he saw his dear friend negotiating with a figure cloaked in black—the vial meant to cure his elemental disorder was clearly mixed with Soul Devouring Butterfly Scale Powder.
"Has Young Miss caused trouble again?" Qin Si asked as he carried the crying Luna through the Emerald Corridor. The infant's Lacrima fell onto the Family Ledger just retrieved by Aelia, and the ink smudged in a peculiar pattern that revealed an unusual Magic Flow.
Suddenly, from the Gold Leaf Ledger's Hidden Layer, a Double Lotus Silver Ring fell out, its inner band engraved with a Strange Emblem.
Aelia's Frost Armor emitted a Cracking sound.
As she trembled and infused magic into the ring, a crystal ball rose in the secret chamber, casting Light and Shadow to reveal the figure of a twelve-year-old boy performing the Ice Spirit Technique.
The sight of Mei Yan, who resembled her husband so closely, made her heart constrict. From behind her came her husband's voice, laced with Coldness: "You shouldn't be here."
A Heavy Object fell to the ground from the attic.
Brother San hurriedly stepped over scattered ancient texts. To his astonishment, the incomplete magic array he had inadvertently drawn began to complete itself automatically, aligning perfectly with the Pseudo Talent Mark that had been deemed "Inferior" during his childhood testing.
Outside the window, Jing Lei suddenly erupted, illuminating his Pale face.
