As the Blood Moonlight pierced through the collapsed Rose Window, Luna clutched Aelia's Pearl Cufflinks and rolled into the secret passage.
Her round belly was covered in shards of Colored Glass, and her Serpent Vertical Pupil glimmered with Jin Mang in the darkness—this was her previous life’s Eye of Breaking Barriers as a Great Mage, now reflecting the swirling black Magic Mist deep within the castle's foundation.
"Don't cry, little dragon," Luna murmured in Baby Language, her chubby palm pressed against the damp stone wall.
The lingering wails of Giant Dragon Bones reverberated painfully against her Eardrum; those Dragon Bones tainted by Leonard's wedding curse were corroding the castle's Protective system.
Suddenly, a sound of scales scraping came from the end of the passage.
Eighteen floating candelabras exploded into azure flames, and the Hydra's shadow twisted into nightmarish shapes on the wall.
The head in the middle of Xiang Liu bore a half-broken Long Jing, and as the Dark Red tongue swept over Luna's head, it stirred a foul wind carrying the stench of rotting flesh.
"Xiang Xiang?" The moment Luna blurted it out, the leftmost head of Xiang Liu suddenly twitched and retreated into the shadows.
The light gold rings remaining on its tail were identical to those of the little snake she had raised at the top of the Mage Tower—back when she had just learned Transfiguration and mistakenly thought a Hydra cub was a green tree viper, brushing its teeth with light magic every day.
All eighteen Shu Tong heads of Xiang Liu contracted simultaneously.
It remembered that child from Three Hundred Years Ago who wore a strawberry Anti-Magic Spider Silk Bib and loved to stuff purified carrots into its venom sac.
What was even more terrifying was that child wielding a Great Mage Scepter, who every morning would use holy light to clean its fangs: "Xiang Xiang must be a clean little snake."
Luna suddenly tiptoed and grabbed hold of the dangling snake tail.
She didn’t notice that three heads in the middle of Xiang Liu were violently banging against the stone wall; instead, she delightedly touched the star-shaped scar on its scales. "You have a Luna just like Xiang Xiang here too!"
A Magic Carrot rolled out from her pocket, its emerald veins shimmering with Light Spell.
The entire Cellar fell into silence.
The Magic Vine peeking from a crack in the wall bloomed in fright, while Ghost Mushrooms puffed out Glowing Spores.
The two heads of Xiang Liu instinctively opened their gaping mouths, but froze upon catching the scent of carrots from Shan Na—this damned Purification Magic smell!
"I'll give you some," Luna said, struggling to lift the carrot, her baby fat cheeks flushed red.
Her past habit of raising little snakes resurfaced uncontrollably, completely unaware that Xiang Liu's most ferocious head was using venom to corrode its fearful memories.
As the carrot touched the snake's mouth, imbued with holy light, the fourth head on the left suddenly emitted a puppy-like sob.
This head had once been adorned with a bow, forced to perform circles at the Mage Tower's welcome party.
At that moment, the residual holy light restriction automatically activated, and all nine heads began to chew simultaneously.
"Good boy," Luna said happily as she patted the Serpent Scale, entirely oblivious to the Blood Pearl seeping from the stone wall behind her, coalescing into Leonard's face.
When Xiang Liu reflexively curled its tail tip to wipe its mouth with a Handkerchief, a screech from Aelia's ice spear suddenly echoed from the cellar ceiling.
Luna wrinkled her nose and sniffed. "Did you forget to brush your teeth?"
Those words caused the central head of Xiang Liu to crash through three layers of granite.
It was this very statement that had led it to endure three years of having its throat poked by a holy light toothbrush!
The foul-smelling poison mist uncontrollably seeped from its fangs but transformed into Rainbow Bubbles upon touching the infant.
"The Lady of the Fortress is breaking the marriage vow Curse Mark!" came Qin Si's tearful shout from the ground. "Third Young Master Lucius, quickly reinforce the East Wing Defense Array!"
Luna hugged the suddenly shrinking snake tail tightly, peering through a Black Hole at the ice crystals exploding in the blood-red sky.
Aelia's Pearl Crown was absorbing the resentment of dragon remains, while Leonard's Xu Ying split into twelve lover-like figures among the ice spears—this was precisely the pivotal turning point that led to the collapse of the Magic Castle in the Original.
Suddenly, Xiang Liu used its tail tip to whip Luna onto its back.
As the ninth head pushed open the hidden chamber behind the Peacock Stone Tiles, Luna was delighted to discover the lingering scent of lemongrass, her favorite from her past life.
A basket piled high with Luna's Magic Carrots sat in the corner, each one engraved with strawberry patterns corroded by Xiang Liu's venom—marks that indicated her childhood dessert choices.
"You've always remembered," Luna said, burying her face in the cool Serpent Scale, unaware that Xiang Liu was quietly using his fangs to destroy a stone tablet inscribed with "Xiang Xiang's Daily Menu."
When the castle shook violently once more, the nine heads suddenly curled around her like a protective ball, just as Three Hundred Years Ago had shielded her from a falling dragon.
From the Ground Cracks, the Outsider Woman's Qian Jiao suddenly emerged.
Through the Gap in the Serpent Scale, Luna saw countless shards of mirrors floating in the air, each reflecting the horrific scene of Leonard's lovers being scorched by Dragon Breath.
Aelia's wand storm was consuming the Wedding Oath Rose window, while her elder brother's silencing runes appeared for the first time in their entirety—it was indeed the Star Chain spell she had created in her previous life.
"Mother is about to awaken her true memories," Luna said, poking at Xiang Liu's attempt to hide his venom pouch, catching a whiff of a familiar rotten floral scent.
The smell reminded her of the Love Potion her Second Brother had been tricked into drinking last week and of the elderflower tea that poisoned Aelia in the Original.
Xiang Liu suddenly knocked over the carrot basket with his head.
As Luna busily directed him to arrange the vegetables using Baby Language, the timid head stealthily rolled away with a basket containing poisonous mushrooms.
All nine throats emitted an eager rumble simultaneously but crushed the mushrooms into powder as soon as she turned around—this was muscle memory formed over three hundred years; when Little Master had caught it sneaking cockroaches, it had been punished by rewriting the entire Holy Beast Health Guidelines.
A sigh from the dragon's Remnant Soul echoed through the castle foundation.
Suddenly, Luna's Long Jing flew toward a gap in the Defensive Formation, and Xiang Liu's venom automatically twisted into a Repair Spell.
As the last broken Wedding Oath Emblem was replaced with a strawberry pattern, Aelia dove down with Frost Breath but froze upon reaching her daughter—the infant was sitting on Hydra's poisonous fangs, swinging her legs while holding a carrot shaped like a rabbit.
"Mother, look!" Luna exclaimed with a smile that revealed two Milk Teeth, shoving the carrot into Xiang Liu's mouth as he tried to close it. "Xiang Xiang loves vegetables in this life too!"
Nine throats emitted desperate swallowing sounds simultaneously, and the central head secretly spat out the Milk Tooth that had been hidden for three hundred years—an infant tooth interrupted by the Holy Light toothbrush, now shimmering with an eerie red glow.
Ice crystals from the Cellar Dome fell like rain as twelve Magic Attendants clad in silver Scale Armor slid down the icy steps.
The Rose Emblem on their chests was singed by Dragon Breath, but upon seeing Luna tugging at Xiang Liu's venomous fangs like a swing, they collectively gasped in shock.
"Saintess!" The Chief Attendant, Magic Zhang Jian, set off warning fireworks. He stared at the Black Slime seeping between Xiang Liu's scales. "Please allow us to..."
"Xiang Xiang is about to shed its scales." Luna suddenly pinched the darkening Shedding Snake and interrupted the Warning in a baby voice.
Memories of raising Magic Pets surged through her mind like a tide, completely oblivious to the three heads on Xiang Liu's right side quietly kicking toxic mushroom remnants into the Earth Rift. "The darkening scales indicate a lack of Vitamin C; I told you to eat more Cherry Tomatoes."
The Magic Attendants exchanged glances.
The Purification Rune inside their armor burned against their skin, yet they saw the notorious Hydra awkwardly using its tail tip to scoop up carrot puree with a Silver Spoon—three hundred years ago, fear of being dominated by Holy Light utensils had caused the central head of Xiang Liu to uncontrollably secrete digestive fluids, corroding the Granite Floor and creating sizzling Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes.
"Impudent!" The Chief Attendant suddenly swung his Thorn whip, knocking away the toxic mushrooms near Luna's feet. "How can such Abyssal Filth come near..."
"That's Xiang Xiang's Teething Stick!" Luna stomped her foot in frustration, and the Purification Array on her baby socks glowed with golden light.
The second head on Xiang Liu's left reflexively shrank back into its coiled serpent formation—years ago, it had gnawed through a Mage Tower's load-bearing column and was punished by Little Master to hold a toxic mushroom in the Confession Room for three days.
Suddenly, the castle tilted violently as Aelia's Ice Crystal Storm swept through, carrying fragments of the Wedding Oath Spell that crashed through the Cellar.
The Magic Attendants hurriedly raised their Protective shields but saw Luna climbing up Xiang Liu's crown while clutching a Serpent Scale. Her rosy fingertip pointed at a gap in the Defensive Formation. "Xiang Xiang, quickly block that..."
"It's Xiang Liu!" The Chief Attendant nearly lost his voice as his snake-charming bell hanging from his waist shattered into pieces. "That can devour Mages..."
A Rainbow Bubble suddenly splattered all over the attendant's face.
Nine throats emitted strange gurgling sounds simultaneously, and the toxic mist, upon touching Luna, coalesced into a cloud infused with the scent of Strawberry Cedar.
It mechanically swam towards the Defensive Formation, when suddenly the Dragon Crystal Fragment remaining in its central head resonated with the Crystal Pacifier in Luna's pocket—an agonizing memory of Three Hundred Years Ago when the Holy Light Pacifier knocked out a Milk Tooth.
"Damn it!" The Mage hiding behind a stone pillar suddenly exclaimed.
His carefully concocted Corrosive Potion was overturned as Xiang Liu swam past, and in an instant, the Zi Wu that surged up was purified into Dandelion by Luna's yawn. "My bone-corroding..."
"A Ti!" Luna rubbed her nose and stuffed the Dandelion into the serpent's mouth. "Xiang Xiang's throat is inflamed; it needs to drink Fat Sea." Unbeknownst to her, the Purification Magic she casually scattered was causing a mutation in the toxic sac that had accumulated within Xiang Liu for three hundred years—those toxins that should have corroded the castle's foundation were now crystallizing into gleaming magical Amber under the influence of holy light.
The whispers of the Magic Attendants suddenly ceased.
As Xiang Liu's ninth head crushed the last piece of Wedding Oath Spell, its scales erupted with a bizarre pink light.
The Weight Loss Spell engraved on its reverse scale activated automatically, causing all nine heads to uncontrollably crash towards the secret chamber storing the Magic Scrolls—this was the Curse that had led it to be mocked as a "vegetarian snake" by other ferocious beasts for three hundred years!
"Stop it!" The Chief Attendant's wand glowed with a Killing Spell. "Protect the Saint Maiden..."
"Xiang Xiang is helping to clean up," Luna clapped her hands happily, watching as Xiang Liu strung together scattered scrolls with its venomous fangs.
Those parchments recording Forbidden Magic were being transformed into recipes under the corrosive venom—illustrations for braised beef brisket covered the Black Magic Array, while steps for deboning steamed bass replaced the Curse Incantation.
Xiang Liu suddenly let out a deafening roar.
Its central head's fangs grew larger, and its crimson Shu Tong locked onto Luna's fragile neck.
The piercing arrows shot by the Magic Attendants vaporized upon contact with Serpent Scale, and Aelia's ice spikes exploded into Ice Mist mid-air—this ferocious beast had finally torn off its gentle disguise!
"Xiang Xiang needs to brush its teeth now."
Luna's soft voice made time seem to stand still.
In the gaping maw of Xiang Liu, a broken Milk Tooth suddenly burst forth with holy light.
Those mornings of forced teeth brushing, afternoons filled with carrot-stuffed poison sacs, and late nights spent performing in a bow tie transformed into three hundred golden chains of light that bound its Killing Intent.
Arrows from the Magic Attendant rained down like a storm.
Amidst the clanging sounds of metal colliding, Luna tiptoed to touch the ancient holy light Tooth Mark at the serpent's kiss. "Xiang Xiang really hasn't been getting enough calcium during its teething phase," she remarked.
The Cellar suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Eighteen Shu Tong heads simultaneously reflected the infant Palm Emerging's Crystal Pacifier-shaped holy seal, the mark of its master that it had sworn not to harm three hundred years ago.
The most timid head suddenly emitted a sobbing sound like a cub, as venom uncontrollably coalesced into glistening Strawberry Syrup, drenching Luna's lace-edged Anti-Magic Spider Silk Bib.
A mournful wail from the dragon's Remnant Soul echoed from the Castle Exterior.
As the last Wedding Oath Rose window dissolved in Xiang Liu's venom, everyone saw the beast carefully curling its tail tip around a handkerchief, gently wiping away the Maple Syrup that had stained Luna's hair—just as it had done three hundred years ago when it cleaned up after Little Master’s practice with Magic Potion that had splattered Toad Black Slime.
Moonlight streamed through the reformed Defensive Formation, casting scattered Xing Hui onto Luna's Hair Tips.
She hummed an off-key Lullaby, braiding Xiang Liu's tail into a twist, completely unaware that the dripping Strawberry Syrup was seeping into Geomancy.
In a burial ground a thousand miles away, three hundred shattered Sacred Beast Statues suddenly glowed red. From the broken fangs of one Hydra statue, a Blood Crystal in the shape of a Milk Tooth slowly began to form.
Moonlight refracted through cracks in the Cellar onto the Strawberry Syrup, creating eerie Light Spots. Luna tiptoed and poked at Xiang Liu's rigid scales. "Xiang Xiang used to spin in circles whenever it got sweet treats," she said. All nine heads twitched simultaneously; the central head’s fangs suddenly pierced granite—memories of being forced to waltz three hundred years ago caused the venom to erupt uncontrollably but transformed into a pink bow upon touching the infant's Hair Tips.
"Saint Maiden, be careful!"
The roar of Magic Mentor Alger shook loose dust from the walls.
His robe’s Star Moon Emblem crackled as it was corroded by toxic mist, and the Observation Mirror inlaid with Long Jing shattered into three pieces—the Lens reflected an unimaginable scene: the legendary beast that had devoured twelve Mages was now using its tail tip to arrange carrot puree on a Silver Spoon.
"Make it look like a sunflower!" Luna exclaimed, swinging on the poisonous fangs of Xiang Liu, while Chubby kicked apart the toxic mist that had formed into Wu Yun.
The deadly particles that should have corroded souls were now automatically arranging themselves into the starry ceiling pattern from her previous life in the Mage Tower bedroom.
Alger's Astrological Compass suddenly erupted with sparks.
He watched in disbelief as the third head on the left side of the beast opened its gaping maw, only to gently catch the Crystal Radish thrown by Luna.
As the unique lemony scent of Purification Magic wafted through the air, the treasured Ancient Beasts Illustrated Handbook belonging to the mentor spontaneously ignited—within its yellowed pages, the account of Xiang Liu's "bloodthirsty brutality" was being altered by some unseen force to read "vegetarian."
"Try some Emerald Cabbage!" Luna shouted, pulling out a half-human-sized magical vegetable from Aelia's ice crystal Storage Ring.
The emerald leaves shimmered with moonlight, and roots still clung to a growth charm buried by Second Brother last year—originally intended as a tribute for the Elven King.
The simultaneous backward tilt of nine heads stirred up a foul wind, causing the bat-shaped Familiar hanging from the castle chandelier to collectively faint.
The fifth head on Xiang Liu's right side suddenly let out a kitten-like whimper; this head had been punished three hundred years ago by Little Master for stealing Fire Lizard and forced to gnaw on cabbage stalks for three months.
"Saint Maiden, no!" Alger's wand erupted with a warning red light. "The magic contained in that Emerald Cabbage is enough to..."
A crisp crunch interrupted his warning.
The central head of Xiang Liu reluctantly clamped down on the cabbage heart, and at the moment its poisonous fangs pierced the leaf veins, an overwhelming surge of Natural Magic erupted like a spring tide.
The walls of the cellar were instantly covered in Blood Rose Vines, and buds began to bloom within the toxic mist, releasing pollen infused with holy light—this was precisely the prototype of Luna's Purification Breath Magic Circle developed in her previous life.
"Oh my..." The hurriedly arriving Magic Nobles froze at the entrance of the secret passage.
Old Duke Harrington's Serpent Staff rolled onto the ground, and embedded within it, a Hydra Blood Pearl was frantically vibrating—according to their family's ancestral Taming Beasts Secret Scroll, Xiang Liu would only be temporarily docile after bathing in virgin blood.
Luna suddenly grabbed onto Xiang Liu's horn scales and climbed up. "The left head is eating too slowly!" From her unseen angle, the most ferocious head was quietly grinding the Crystal Radish with its fangs, attempting to carve it into an "inedible" Ancient Magic Script—this action immediately triggered a Weight Loss Spell at its reverse scale, causing all nine heads to uncontrollably begin chewing in unison.
"This is impossible!" The Jeweler's Daughter tore apart the skirt adorned with Protective Talismans.
A Black Opal, which could sense Dark Magic, suddenly cracked in two, reflecting the fierce beast sketching Luna with its tail tip—those venomous strokes depicted the distribution of vegetable cultivation in the Mage Tower from Three Hundred Years Ago.
Alger suddenly noticed the faint green Blue Blood Fern Juice seeping from the scales of Xiang Liu's Gap.
He trembled as he pulled out a magical Detection Device; the data emerging within the crystal ball caused his pupils to constrict sharply—within the beast's body, corrosive venom accumulated over a millennium was now transforming into plant growth hormones under the purifying effect of the Emerald Cabbage!
"Saintess!" The mentor's voice wavered with excitement, "Do you sense...?"
"Xiang Xiang needs to brush her teeth after eating," Luna said as she pulled out a mini Holy Light toothbrush from behind her Anti-Magic Spider Silk Bib.
This gentle reminder caused two of Xiang Liu's heads to collide suddenly, while a forgotten Milk Tooth and Lucius Darkmoon Pendant buried deep within its venom sac began to heat up—on a snowy night Three Hundred Years Ago, it had sworn never to eat carrots again using that very Milk Tooth.
Amidst the gasps of the Magic Nobles, all nine heads simultaneously made swallowing motions.
The Roots of the Emerald Cabbage got stuck in the fangs' Gap, stretching into natural dental floss under the influence of Holy Light.
As Luna hummed an off-key tooth brushing song while patting the snake-like kiss, the most timid head suddenly spat out strawberry-flavored toothpaste that had been hidden for three hundred years—evidence of its evasion from Holy Light cleansing back in the day.
"Tomorrow's breakfast will be thick Lan Hua soup!" Luna cheerfully patted the scales, completely unaware that Alger was kneeling on the ground collecting samples of the transformed venom.
The dripping Emerald Color liquid seeped into the Earth Rift, causing pure white flowers to bloom from the cursed Mandrake.
Suddenly, the moonlight turned crimson, and a glass-shattering sound echoed from the Castle Defense Array.
The Crystal Pacifier in Luna's pocket automatically levitated, projecting illusions of three hundred Sacred Beast Statues into the void.
As she reached out to grab the swaying tail of a Hydra within the illusion, Xiang Liu's central head let out a warning hiss—its venomous fangs, still coated with carrot residue, precisely pierced three incoming shadow arrows.
"Saint Maiden, be careful of the dark..." Alger's warning caught in his throat.
He saw Luna swinging in mid-air, clutching the venomous fangs of the beast, while the Purification Array on her baby socks rebounded the assailant's curse into colorful ribbons.
The deadly black Dark Magic was now coalescing into a comical jester hat pattern on Xiang Liu's scales.
Suddenly, Old Duke Harrington clutched his Heart and collapsed.
His ancestral Contract Scroll slipped from his sleeve, the Parchment sealed with a Blood Pact depicting a Hydra Totem was fading—replaced by a simple drawing made by Luna with Strawberry Syrup, beside which a crooked Ancient Magic Script read "Xiang Xiang's Daily Menu."
As the Cellar returned to silence, Luna curled up in the serpent formation of Xiang Liu, yawning.
Outside the barrier formed by nine heads, the Magic Nobles were red-faced, recording this mind-bending scene: the beast was using its tail tip to cover Little Master's belly with a swan Velvet Blanket, while a starry ceiling made of toxic mist played a magical slideshow of the "Vegetable Planting Guide."
"Remember to brush your teeth morning and night," Luna's dreamy reminder made Xiang Liu's scales flare up.
As all nine heads nodded simultaneously, a memory box sealed by holy light began to crack deep within the venom sac—recalling a morning three hundred years ago when it was forced to use strawberry-flavored dental floss, seemingly sharing the same Temperature as the moonlight at this moment.
Alger's Feather Pen suddenly ignited spontaneously.
He trembled as he wrote the last line in his Observation Log: "A variable that overturns the laws of magical ecology has emerged," unaware that the Emerald Venom seeping into Geomancy was birthing carnivorous plants adorned with carrots miles away in the Cursed Swamp.
Meanwhile, half of the hidden Crystal Radish that Xiang Liu had secretly stashed was slowly growing star-shaped Buds in its most cherished reverse scale space.
