As the Barbed Ice Rose brushed against the swaddling, Luna caught a whiff of the distinct bitter almond scent of the Burning Corpse Grass.
She stared at Aelia's Ice Scales, which glimmered more brilliantly under the moonlight. Deep within her soul, the Magic Core belonging to the Great Mage suddenly stirred—an omen of death that was supposed to appear twenty chapters later was now consuming the last glimmer of her Lunar Pendant.
"Madam, the Scale Powder from the Ice Crystal Butterfly is ready." Qin Si knelt beside the Cradle, holding a crystal box, his fingertips wrapped in Mithril Gloves still bearing the remnants of Purple-Black scorch marks.
Luna's pupils constricted as she recognized that the patterns formed by those scorch marks were unmistakably the initiation sequence of the Soul Devouring Array recorded in the dark Magic Tome.
Aelia's Requiem suddenly shifted in tone.
When the third Tremor manifested as a physical Ice Blade aimed at the West Tower, Luna finally discerned the pattern formed by the Blood Red Ying Huo insects—it was a Curse Totem that had spread across the carpet in the Treatment Room on the night her brother suffered from a Magic Backlash.
"Little Moon, don’t be afraid." Aelia suddenly leaned closer to the Cradle, and the moonstone Ying Luo that hung in her hair brushed against Luna's Mei Xin.
The infant's delicate skin instantly turned pale, and Luna realized in her Mind Sea that her soul was being drawn away from her body by some unseen force.
She desperately tried to summon her remaining magic to suppress this Qian Jiao but saw Aelia’s Ice Pearl reflecting an eerie Purple Light from Leonard’s Night Lily Emblem at his cuff.
Suddenly, a sound of shattering Ice Layer echoed from outside the Crystal Curtain.
As Aelia waved her sleeve to disperse the Ice Rose Barrier, Luna caught a glimpse of Qin Si hiding bloodied Secret Silver Tweezers into his sleeve pocket.
The ice crystals that had fallen from Aelia's skirt now sprouted tiny Tentacles, writhing as they crawled toward the hidden Teleportation Circle beneath the Cradle.
"Take Young Miss to Holy Light Palace tomorrow." Aelia suddenly sealed off the entire Nursery with a Spell; her Fingertips were already covered in Ice Scales up to her Wrist. "Have Lucius prepare thirty-six Purification Crystals that have been soaked in Chen Lu."
As Qin Si carried Luna through the Emerald Corridor adorned with Ice Spikes, the infant curled up in her swaddling quietly formed a Jie Yin with her fingers.
The Detection Spell belonging to the Great Mage slipped through a Gap in the maid's sleeve pocket and, upon touching the Secret Silver Tweezers, caused an explosion in Luna’s Mind Sea—Leonard's Last Night replayed vividly as blood poured from all Seven Orifices.
At dawn, Aelia’s Horse-drawn Carriage crushed frost-covered Violet Petals as it made its way toward the Magic Sanctuary.
Wrapped in Silver Fox Fur woven with a High-Level Protective Spell, Luna peered through a Gap in the carriage curtain and saw Brother San burying some Luminous Object into the Feed Trough of the Stable.
The flickering runes of Residual Shadow perfectly matched the writhing of the Ice Crystal Tentacles from last night.
"Does Little Moon know where we are going?" Aelia held the baby up to her eyes, the morning light piercing through the Ice Crystal Pendant on her earlobe, casting a hexagram brand on Luna's forehead. "The Old Mage in the Holy Land can see the future with divination sticks; perhaps..."
Luna suddenly grasped her mother's ring finger.
As the remnants of the Guardian Spirit from the Wedding Ring flickered once more, the baby's fingertip touched a crack hidden beneath Aelia's newly sprouted Ice Scales—where the Dark Sorcerer had implanted a parasitic seed in the Original.
The Horse-drawn Carriage jolted violently.
Aelia swung out an Ice Shield, shattering a fireball that came flying in from outside. Amidst the splintering Ice Shards, Luna saw Second Brother's close friend standing by a sycamore tree, wand raised, while Zhang Jian's Magic Silk Thread extended from the direction of Eldest Brother's Treatment Room.
The Bronze Door of the Holy Light Palace glowed with an eerie blue in the Twilight.
As Aelia knelt on a Pillow inscribed with Purification Spells, Luna stared at the Old Mage's divination tube, filled with Xing Hui Ice Cracks, suddenly becoming aware that a significant turning point in the Original was accelerating towards them.
"I seek guidance regarding matters of the Magic Arena for Eldest Son." Aelia pressed Luna's small hand against the edge of the divination tube, and suddenly, the powder from the Lunar Pendant left on the baby's palm emitted a hum reminiscent of Leonard's Sword.
The Old Mage's murky Eye turned to gaze at the Celestial Star Map, and three Bodhi Beads snapped off from his string.
As the one hundred eighth Bodhi Bead rolled into a Floor Tile Gap, a storm carrying Hei Xue suddenly swept outside.
Luna felt the Magic Core in her Mind Sea begin to Reverse Rotation—this was a magical Tide unique to Great Mage memories before an assault by the Dark Sanctuary.
At the moment when the divination tube exploded, Luna caught sight of Kasa, revealing half of a tattoo depicting entwined poisonous snakes on his Bone Wings.
The splintered fragments of runes in mid-air formed a gruesome image of Eldest Brother being backfired upon but suddenly transformed into Leonard's sleeve pattern of Ye Baihe just before hitting the ground.
"It seems that Madam's Eldest Son..." The Old Mage picked up the only intact Bamboo Stick with his hand covered in Ice Scales, purple-black liquid seeping from his cracked lips. "He needs a stronger guardian."
Suddenly, Luna coughed violently as the purification Crystal Fragment hidden under her tongue cut through her gums.
As her blood dripped onto the Aelia's Wrist Ice Scales, the Star Map of the Holy Light Palace Dome suddenly began to rotate in reverse—an omen of the collapse of the Magic Fortress Barrier within seventy-two hours, as foretold in the Original.
The Starshine Rune of the Holy Light Palace Dome flickered violently, illuminating the Aelia's Wrist Ice Scales like a shattered mirror.
Just as the Old Mage's Withered Branches-like fingers were about to touch the Bloodstain on the Bamboo Stick, a crisp sound of ice crystals shattering echoed from outside the hall.
"Did you not inform me that you sought an omen, my lady?" The Bronze Door swung open with a thunderous crash, revealing Leonard in a Dark Cloak, sweeping away the Eaves Ice Spike, his cuffs adorned with the Night Lily Emblem glowing with an eerie Purple Light.
Beside him stood a woman wrapped in a flaming marten fur, who let out a soft laugh. The violet flower she held fell at Aelia's feet—it was the wilted Magic Plant from her elder brother's Bedroom.
Luna's Pupil contracted sharply.
The delicate Fingertip of an infant suddenly glowed with Xing Mang, condensing the residual Curse Aura of the violet flower into an Ice Pearl.
In the Original, Leonard's Concubine should have been in the northern snowfields at this moment; her early appearance must be related to the anomaly of the omen tube.
"I heard your Eldest Son cannot even achieve Elemental Resonance?" The hem of Leonard's Concubine's skirt, embroidered with Poison Spider patterns, brushed against the shattered Bodhi Beads. The Dark Red Crystal embedded in her Waist suddenly reflected her elder brother's Wheelchair. "Why waste Purification Crystals?"
Aelia's Wrist Ice Scales surged violently, and the remnants of Requiem in the Nursery formed an array of Ice Blades within the Dome.
Luna suddenly let out a loud cry, her small hand wrapped in Silver Fox Fur accurately striking her Mother's unnamed Wedding Ring—the fragment of the Guardian Spirit, corroded by darkness, suddenly refracted a rainbow, turning all Ice Blades into swirling snowflakes.
"Mother said that spring's prophecy is hidden within snowflakes." The innocent voice rang out unexpectedly.
Everyone turned in astonishment to see Luna clutching a Lunar Pendant, its powder forming an Iris amidst the snowflakes.
The Bone Wings tattoo beneath Old Mage Kasa began to seep Hei Xue, corroding the Peacock Stone Tiles into Scorch Marks.
Leonard's Fingertip ignited with Magic Flame: "What trickery is this?"
"Why not let Destiny pass judgment?" Aelia waved her sleeve to freeze the Magic Flame; ice crystals climbed up her husband's cuff, forming Blood Rose Vines. "If my son wins the crown at the Magic Arena, you shall personally extract this woman's parasitic seed from her forehead."
The Poison Spider on the Outer Armor suddenly came to life, weaving a Blood Contract in the void with its silk: "If defeated, my lady must imprint the Ice Scale Curse and Inheritance on this Little Bastard." Ailya's White Nails, stained with carmine, pointed at Luna Mei Xin, while the Dark Red Crystal reflected the Infant Soul being stripped away from Leonard's Last Night.
The sound of Ice Spikes colliding suddenly intensified like rain.
The Old Mage Kasa stirred without wind, thirty-six Bamboo Sticks forming a Star Map above everyone's heads: "What you seek is Shang Shang Qian." A Bamboo Stick stained with Hei Xue suddenly ignited in golden flames, and Ashes formed the silhouette of the elder standing tall.
For the first time, Aelia's Ice Scales shed their blood color. As she tossed a hundred Magic Crystal Coins into the Merit Box, the copper bells at Eaves Corner chimed in harmony with the melody of the Healing Spell.
Yet Luna focused on the Old Mage retracting Kasa's Bone Wings.
As Aelia knelt beside her on the newly replaced Lotus Cushion, the infant deliberately brushed the Bloodstained Silver Fox Fur against the divination tube—this was a secret technique from the Great Mage's memory to unravel Destiny's disguise.
"Does Little Benefactor wish to ask for a divination too?" The Old Mage's Pupil transformed into a Serpent as Shu Tong spoke.
Luna pretended to be naive as she reached for a Bamboo Stick, and the magic deep within her Soul Core flowed through her Fingertip into the White Jade Cylinder.
When the one hundred eighth star lit up in the Dome, fine Ice Cracks suddenly emerged on the surface of the divination tube. The Dark Whispers sealed within the bamboo joints were now gnawing at her remaining Lunar Pendant energy.
The Bamboo Stick exploded in Luna's Palm, causing all seventy-two Liuli Lanterns in the Holy Light Palace to extinguish simultaneously.
The starlight seeping between the infant's fingers enveloped fragments of the divination tube, floating in mid-air and piecing together a fragmented Celestial Chart—revealing the full view of the Magic Castle Secret Passage that would only be unveiled at the end of the Original.
"Amitabha." The Old Mage Kasa swelled like a sail, his Bone Wings tattoo piercing through Fabric to form a grotesque outline on his Back.
His withered Palm suddenly expanded threefold, and as Shu Tong's Palm split open, he fixated on Luna's Neck where her Blood Vessel throbbed: "Little Benefactor Ming Ge is invaluable; how can Tian Ji allow mere mortals to pry?"
Aelia's Ice Scale Curse instantly enveloped the entire Merit Box.
She stepped back three paces while protecting Luna against her chest. The moonstone Ying Luo in her hair and the remaining Starshine Resonance from the Dome wove a Flowing Light Shield around them.
The still-wriggling fragments of Bamboo Stick abruptly changed direction, shooting like a torrential rain towards Leonard’s side where Leonard's Concubine stood.
"Trivial skills!" Leonard's Concubine exclaimed as the parasitic seed between her brows burst forth, and the Poison Spider on the Gilded Armor sprayed a sticky web.
The silk touched Xing Hui's Shan Na, and Luna suddenly let out a giggle—she had stealthily moistened the Silver Fox Fur with her saliva, which happened to fall onto the Purification Array that Aelia had set up last night.
The explosive sound of ice crystals rang out like a symphony of bells.
Old Mage Kasa suddenly extended his scaly tail, sweeping the Spider Web that was about to touch the ground into the gap of the Merit Tablet Base.
Leonard's Night Lily Emblem in his sleeves vibrated violently as he reached out to grab Aelia's Wrist Ice Scales, but at the moment of contact, he was met with the lingering Guardian Spirit burn from the Wedding Ring on his fingertip.
"Father..." Luna suddenly articulated clearly, her infant pupils reflecting a flickering red dot somewhere in the Celestial Chart—that was where Brother San had buried the Light Rune.
She deliberately pressed her small hand, stained with ink from the signing tube, against Leonard's Hand Back, and Dark Red Patterns suddenly spread along his Blood Vessel into a Thorn Pattern.
Leonard's Concubine let out a sharp shriek.
The Poison Spider on her Armor oozed Hei Xue from all eight eyes, its legs frantically scratching at the Dark Red Crystal.
Aelia keenly noticed that the Thorn Pattern on her husband's arm matched exactly with the floral carvings on her brother's Wheelchair Armrest, causing the Ice Scale Curse to uncontrollably coalesce into the form of a Judgment Sword.
"This farce must come to an end." The Old Mage's Bone Wings stirred up a whirlwind that swept away all remnants of the signing tubes, revealing Kasa's Gap entwined with a poisonous snake necklace around his Waist—precisely Leonard's ornament from yesterday, given by Second Brother's close friend.
His face, marked with Xing Hui Ice Cracks, turned towards Luna as Shu Tong suddenly reflected the spinning Magic Core deep within the Infant Soul: "On the Lunar Eclipse Night seven days from now, Little Benefactor, remember to close the windows of the Nursery."
Ice Crystal Vines suddenly pierced through Peacock Stone Tiles.
Aelia hurriedly retreated with Luna to the edge of the Bronze Door but found Leonard gazing at their daughter's forehead where an Emerging Hexagram Brand was forming with a complex expression.
As Leonard's Concubine tugged at his cloak’s hem, three petals of Ye Baihe in his sleeves suddenly wilted, revealing a hidden Family Crest beneath.
"Mother, look." Luna grabbed a strand of her Hair, and Xing Hui formed ice crystal bells at its tips.
As the bell chimed, producing a purifying sound, the Merit Tablet Base suddenly revealed a golden Iris—exactly as stipulated in the terms of the wager regarding the Magic Arena.
Aelia's Wrist Ice Scales first shed their crimson hue, unveiling the hidden Black Rose Luna beneath.
The Old Mage let out a laugh reminiscent of a Night Owl.
He, Kasa, transformed into countless Poison Moths, fluttering towards the eternal lamp. His form gradually became transparent amidst the sound of fluttering wings: "The Fate Spindle has turned; don't let the spider steal away the Silver Shuttle that weaves the tapestry..." The last part of his sentence fell like an Ice Spike to the ground, spelling out the Celestial Coordinates of Brother Treatment Room on the bluestone bricks.
As Wind and Snow flowed back into the Holy Light Palace, Luna feigned ignorance while reaching for Aelia's Earlobe Ice Crystal Pendant.
The Fingertip touched Shan Na, as she infused the reverse pattern of the Soul Devouring Array she had deciphered last night into Mother’s Mind Sea.
Aelia suddenly staggered and leaned against the Door Frame; her Wrist Ice Scales emitted a crisp sound—a sign that Magical Resonance had reached its peak.
"Return Fortress." Aelia wrapped Luna tightly in her cloak, as the moonstone Ying Luo cast a flowing Star Trail upon the snowy ground.
When she leaped onto the Horse-drawn Carriage atop an Ice Lotus Flower, Leonard raised his hand to freeze the Cursed Moss beneath the wheels. This action caused two petals from his sleeve Emblem to wither away.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage passed over the frozen Holy Spring, Luna caught a glimpse through the icy window of Second Brother’s close friend burning talismans beneath a bridge.
Emerging from the flames was a Celestial Chart pieced together from fragments of a signing tube, while those flickering Dark Purple Flames resonated subtly with Brother San’s buried Light Rune.
"Little Moon, are you cold?" Aelia breathed warmth onto her baby's blue-tinged Fingertip but failed to notice that her breath was quietly forming the emblem of Dark Sanctuary.
Luna seized the opportunity to sob, using her saliva to wipe away the nearly formed Curse Totem.
When the Horse-drawn Carriage rolled over the seventh Ice Brick engraved with Sheen Pattern, Luna's Magic Core in her Mind Sea abruptly ceased its Reverse Rotation.
Cuddled within her Silver Fox Fur, she pretended to sleep, while her soul slipped along the residual path of her Lunar Pendant into the Underground of Holy Light Palace—where something was gnawing at the golden Iris of Merit Tablet Base.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage rolled over the eighth Sheen Pattern Ice Brick, Luna pretended to turn over, rubbing her Silver Fox Fur against the window.
Xing Hui wandered along the Ice Crystal Pattern, etching a three-dimensional map of the Holy Light Palace Underground onto the glass surface. Six tentacles, entwined with Curse, gnawed at the Merit Tablet Base, and the shattered golden Iris resembled the ornate carvings on Brother's Wheelchair Armrest.
Aelia suddenly pressed down on her Wrist Ice Scales.
The previously blood-stained scales began to emit a faint golden glow, reflecting the passing Magic Castle Tower outside the carriage window.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna wiped her saliva, tainted with Purification Crystal, on the inner side of Mother's Wedding Ring. Amidst the subtle sizzling sound, the corrosive aura lingering on Leonard's Night Lily Emblem cuff was burned away by Qing Yan.
"Madam!" Qin Si's voice pierced through the Cold Wind.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage came to a sudden halt, Luna caught sight of Brother San burying the Light Rune, where Azure Blue Flame erupted. The licking Fire Tongue formed an entrance to a secret passage that had once been revealed by the fragments of a signing tube.
Feigning a startled Loud Cry, she clutched Aelia's moonstone Ying Luo—at that moment, the reverse pattern of the Soul Devouring Array she had deciphered last night completed its loop.
Aelia's Wrist Ice Scales suddenly emitted Qingyue Mingxiang, and the Xing Xu bursting from between the scales formed a rotating Micro Star Map within the carriage.
Luna's Pupil shrank; this was clearly a projection of the core of the Magic Fortress Barrier from the original book, yet it was now missing the Northern Crown rune that symbolized Father's authority.
Outside the window came the crisp sound of Ice Layer shattering.
Leonard rode down from the clouds on his phantom beast, and cursed moss clung to the edges of his cloak, falling away in flakes.
Luna noticed that those moss fragments automatically arranged themselves into an Iris of the Holy Light Palace Merit Tablet upon hitting the ground, while Brother San's buried Light Rune flames suddenly surged three inches higher.
"Little Moon needs to take her medicine." Aelia retrieved a Liuli Bottle from Qin Si's Secret Silver Box. The pale golden liquid inside swirled with Ice Crystal Petals, causing Luna's soul to Zhen Chan—this was actually a prototype of the Breaking Magic Potion that appeared only later in the original story.
The infant intentionally knocked over the medicine bottle, and splattered liquid etched a Dark Sanctuary Emblem onto the Velvet Blanket, perfectly aligning with a shadow cast by an Ice Spike on the carriage roof.
Aelia's Fingertip condensed into an Ice Blade to slice away that shadow, but splattered Dark Element triggered Luna's Swaddling High-Level Protective Spell for Automatic Activation.
The surface of Silver Fox Fur shimmered with Xing Mang, projecting onto the carriage wall and revealing Leonard's residual shadow from burning parchment in his study last night—the Night Lily Emblem at the end of the scroll was being devoured by some form of ice crystal.
Luna seized the opportunity to smear the remaining potion on Mother Palm.
When Aelia's Ice Scales made contact with the anti-magic elements in the potion, a multitude of Mama's Contract Threads suddenly emerged around them—those threads spun from the Destiny tattoo extending from the Old Mage's Bone Wings were now manifesting under the potion's effect.
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si suddenly lunged to block the car window.
A hurricane carrying Hei Xue shattered the icy curtain, sending Luna's just-manifested Contract Threads blowing towards Leonard.
As Aelia waved her sleeve to freeze the core of the storm, the infant caught sight of each Dark Purple Thread's end tied to a melting Bing Hua petal—exactly the form of the Magic Castle Matriarchs' Heritage Mark.
Luna abruptly grasped Aelia's Wedding Ring and sucked on it forcefully.
Fragments of Guardian Spirit mixed with the broken Magic Potion seeped into her gums, causing a Silver Thread to suddenly emerge from the infant's Mind Sea, precisely wrapping around the three thickest Destiny threads.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage entered the range of the Magic Fortress Barrier, she pretended to be blinded by a Strong Light, seizing the chance to hide the captured thread fragments within Silver Fox Fur's Hidden Layer.
When the Moonstone Arch emerged amidst the raging Wind and Snow, Luna noticed that Second Brother's close friend was burning talismans in the Corner Tower, mixed with remnants of bamboo slips from a fortune-telling tube featuring unique Star Patterns.
Aelia's Wrist Ice Scales suddenly buzzed, golden patterns emerging on their surface—those were the Merit Tablet Iris being reformed after being devoured.
"Our Little Moon is feeling sleepy," Aelia gently kissed the infant's head, unaware that her lip print was left on the spot Luna had marked last night with Xing Hui.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage passed through the last Defensive Formation, an Ice Crystal Rose suddenly bloomed in its tire tracks, each petal reflecting the eerie scene of Holy Light Palace Underground Tentacles gnawing at Leonard's Last Night.
Luna curled up in Silver Fox Fur pretending to sleep, but her soul slipped along the Ice Rose's Root System into Geomancy.
Upon touching that writhing black mass deep within the Magic Castle, the Purification Crystal hidden under her tongue suddenly melted—this was the key catalyst for Aelia awakening to the true essence of Ice Scale Curse in the original text, now quietly seeping into the Earth Vein Core.
