The Ice Crystal Chandelier refracted the chaos below, as Aelia's Wedding Ring embedded in her palm oozed Golden Red Blood Pearl.
Qin Si's hands trembled violently as he held the Silver Plate. Suddenly, the sound of Luna's crisp clapping echoed from the Infant Swaddling, while seventeen Snake Fangs in the plate rhythmically Zhen Chan out a coded message.
"Madam..." Qin Si knelt amidst the shards of Ice Spike, the bodies of the marked Servants still maintaining their eerie kneeling posture. "At the Hot Spring Villa in West Suburban Serpent Valley, there are Magic Pattern Carriages coming and going every Wednesday at midnight."
Aelia's Ice Blade carved deep blue cracks into the Ground, and the Blood Pearl frozen on her Wedding Ring suddenly floated into a mirror-like surface.
Luna spat out a Milk Foam, which exploded against the mirror, revealing Leonard embracing the Red-Haired Witch, kissing Leonard's Serpent-Shaped Birthmark during Leonard's Last Night—exactly where Luna had frozen the Servants today.
"Impossible!" Ailya's Silver Hair suddenly grew three inches longer, ice crystals forming at the tips and falling like snow.
Memories gnawed at her like a venomous snake on that moonlit night ten years ago. Leonard knelt among the Soul Devouring Serpents with an Ice Crystal Rose, and when Snake Fangs pierced his Hand Back, he smiled and said, "Pain is a badge of love."
Luna let out a sharp Loud Cry, and twenty corpses of Venomous Young Serpents exploded in response, their toxic Black Slime intertwining in the air to form a Remnant Page of a Magic Contract.
Qin Si hurriedly raised the Crystal Baby Bottle that Luna had given him; the bottom reflected Norman Monk and Leonard's Concubine trading for Magic Crystal Stone—Date Signed was precisely on the night Aelia had her miscarriage.
"Healing Holy Medicine..." Aelia tore apart her Pearl Necklace, and milky white pearls rolled into the blood pool, transforming into an Eye.
Seizing the moment, Luna grasped her Mother's bloodied Fingertip. The unique Healing Magic of infants flowed backward through the blood, forcing Aelia to see that what Leonard had harvested was not Ice Spirit Snake Grass but Chi Lian She Hua, which invoked the miscarriage curse.
The Ice Crystal Wall exploded with a deafening roar as rampaging Ice Magic froze the entire corridor into an Azure Blue Tunnel.
Aelia's Wedding Ring suddenly melted into Liquid. Luna quickly expelled Ice Mist to reshape it into a Serpent Ring—this was a Family Forbidden Item discovered only three years later in the Original, capable of forcibly binding a spouse's soul.
"Third Young Master Lucius has a high fever in the secret chamber!" The Knight's exclamation mingled with the burnt smell of Serpent Scale scorching nearby.
Aelia brushed through Luna's Golden Hair, where Star Trails flickered. The gears of time in the baby's eyes cast a Residual Shadow that projected future illusions: Lucius’s cuff was slowly being eroded by Snake Scale Powder affecting his Elemental Affinity.
As the Ice Coffin sealed off the last piece stained by Poison Dice, Luna suddenly burped towards the Snow Ferret outside the window.
Aelia's Silver Nail pierced the abdomen of the Snow Ferret with precision, and the fallen Secret Letter, scented with Leonard's Concubine's favorite Snakeberry fragrance, contained details about the Curse Array that awaited her elder brother at the Magic Council tomorrow.
"Prepare the carriage, we are heading to the black market." Aelia wrapped Luna in a snake-skin cloak, and the baby's Silver Bell Anklet chimed with a Qing Yue sound.
As they passed the East Tower, Luna deliberately flicked her Crystal Pacifier, tainted with Snake Venom, into a vent.
Her elder brother, who was mixing a Magic Potion, suddenly paused. The Silver Cauldron bubbled, forming an image of Father meeting Leonard's Concubine in secret at Snake Valley.
The Zi Yan inside the Silver Cauldron surged violently, and suddenly, his elder brother's Snake Staff cracked.
The Ice Crystal embedded in the Staff Tip rolled to the ground, reflecting Leonard's Concubine's serpent-shaped birthmark on her neck, resonating with Father's Contract Mark on his Palm—this was the Guardian Spell of the Glorious Demon Fortress' Legitimate Bloodline, now serving as undeniable evidence of betrayal.
"So this is my Magic Backlash..." His elder brother's fingers dug deep into the Sheen Pattern Groove of the Wheelchair Armrest. Ten years ago, when he sealed away the rampaging Ice Spirit serpents for Father, he had seen similar Luna patterns flickering at the edge of the barrier.
The Wheelchair was suddenly enveloped by a Magic Circle and Blue Light as a Communication Scroll adorned with Snakeberry patterns shot through the air—this was an emergency contact array they had drawn together when they were twelve.
His Second Brother Xu Ying emerged from the scroll, his Left Eye still wrapped in blood-soaked Shedding Snake bandages.
He was deciphering a curse left by his dear friend when the Dice Face numbers twisted into images of Father and Illegitimate Son receiving blessings from the elders of Snake Valley during Leonard's Last Night. "They actually used my Magic Resonance frequency as a Sacrificial Medium!" Second Brother tore off his Jade Pendant shaped like Snake Fangs from around his neck; it was a gift from Father on his sixteenth birthday during Ailya's Birthday Rune. Now it burned betrayal into the Star Chart he had drawn himself.
Brother San's Ice Crystal Chessboard suddenly shattered, thirty-two Jade Agate Chess Pieces transforming into small snakes that slithered into his sleeves.
He trembled as he lifted his Left Arm's Snake Skin Wristband; those purple spots misdiagnosed as Elemental Rejection were now resonating with Leonard's Concubine’s Second Son’s Serpent Scale armor on his chest.
The dusty Ancient Serpent Language Dictionary in the corner suddenly flipped pages on its own, stopping at a chapter he could never understand as a child: "Bloodline Grafting."
"West Tower!" His elder brother suddenly shouted fiercely as the Wheelchair rolled over shards of Ice Crystal Fragments scattered across the floor.
His damaged Twin Legs erupted with Azure Blue Flame—a remnant of sealing away the serpents long ago—now precisely burning through Father's restrictions set in the family's Library of Hidden Books.
Suspended in mid-air, the Magic Castle Chronicles fluttered open. The yellowed pages contained records of thirty-seven early-deceased Legitimate Sons, each bearing serpent scales around their eyes identical to those of Leonard's Concubine.
As Aelia's serpentine cloak swept through the corridor, Luna's Silver Bell Anklet suddenly emitted a piercing sound.
The infant's pink palm oozed with Xing Mang, casting a melting Family Crest against the wall—an emblem of glory featuring the Hydra Totem. At that moment, three Serpent Heads were transforming into the Fire Scale Serpent of the Outsider Family.
"Mother!" Lucius's weak call came from the Ice Coffin's gap.
The newly formed Serpent Scales on the boy's neck were shedding, each scale detaching and leaving behind a wisp of silver hair.
Aelia touched the Ice Coffin with her bloodied fingertip, and the Healing Spell that Luna had secretly altered immediately manifested, converting the Snake Venom that was eroding Third Young Master Lucius into Memory Fragments—on the night of five-year-old Ailya's Birthday Rune, when Father personally fed him the Enhanced Potion, the bottom of the cup was embedded with a Red Snake stone identical to Leonard's Concubine's Moonstone Earrings.
Luna suddenly grabbed Aelia's Pearl Earrings and shook them violently, spitting bubbles laced with Snake Venom that burst against the surface of the Ice Coffin.
The erased family prophecy from Twenty Years Ago slowly emerged: "When the stars fall upon the Ice Coffin, Hydra will devour its own tail." Each character oozed with the unique crimson hue of Leonard's Concubine's commonly used Snakeberry Juice.
The Second Brother’s Star Trajectory Disk suddenly crashed through the ceiling and fell, filling the Twenty-Eight Mansions' positions with bloodied Snake Fangs.
He barged in, dragging his cursed and eroded Left Leg, clutching a recently deciphered Contract Fragment in hand: "Father used our life-bound Serpent Scale to create a substitute Puppet for Concubine!" He tore open his clothing to reveal rotting scales at his Heart; those Heart Shield Scales that should have shimmered with Silver Light were now shattering in sync with the Core Stone of the Outer Chamber Manor’s Defensive Formation.
The entire Magic Castle suddenly shook violently, and all Ice Crystal Windows reflected images of the West Suburban Serpent Valley.
Inside Hot Spring Villa, seven children resembling Leonard's Concubine were performing a Snake Shedding Ritual. The old skins they shed prominently displayed patterns of their eldest brother’s Wheelchair, Second Brother’s Star Chart, and Brother San’s Magic Circuit.
"So that's how it is..." Brother San suddenly crushed the Pseudo Element Detection Stone in his palm, purple dust coalescing in mid-air into his Memory Frame from when he was twelve—Father had replaced the genuine detection crystal with a counterfeit, leading him to believe he only possessed low-tier Ice Affinity.
Tainted dice fragments suddenly flew out from his sleeve, piecing together the complete truth on the surface of the Ice Coffin: those years when Father sent him Calming Elixirs, each bottle bottom bore the Outsider Family’s Snakeberry totem.
Luna’s Loud Cry abruptly turned into Giggling as the infant’s Milk Tooth bit into her Fingertip, causing Blood Pearls to coalesce in mid-air into a Curse sealing traitors from Three Hundred Years Ago by a Great Mage.
Ailya's Silver Hair stirred without wind, its tips curling around a Curse branded onto the Family Crest.
The Serpent Pattern decorations throughout the Magic Castle simultaneously emitted a mournful wail as Concubine’s substitute Puppet Contract began to fracture inch by inch.
As the last shard of false ice crystal fell from Brother's Wheelchair, a sudden sound of shattering crystal echoed from the end of the corridor.
Lucius had somehow broken free from the Ice Coffin, and the boy's Pale Fingertip still held a blood-stained Serpent Scale.
He stared blankly at Mother, noticing the new strands of white hair emerging among her locks. Those silver strands were visibly consuming the original Ice Blue—this was a precursor to the Aelia Family's Inheritance, known as "Desperate Awakening."
The Ice Crystal Chandelier suddenly dimmed by three degrees, and the half Serpent Scale in Lucius's fingers began to emit Frost Flowers.
The boy hid his blood-soaked Fingertip behind his back, watching as Mother's Ice Blue hair faded like a shedding snake, leaving behind delicate Jing Chen in the air.
At the end of the corridor, the Hydra Emblem suddenly cracked, and the third Serpent Head's Ruby eye rolled onto the ground, revealing beneath it a Fire Scale Pattern identical to that of the Outer Chamber Family Crest.
"Mother, let me try my newly learned Ice Mirror Technique." Lucius's voice was soft, as if afraid to disturb the remnants of curses lingering in the air.
As he lowered his gaze, his eyelashes cast serpent-like shadows on Pale's face. The half Serpent Scale that had absorbed Ice Coffin's Han Qi was channeling Han Qi into his Bloodline—this was the Backlash Curse that Luna had quietly planted in his pastry when she bit his finger three days ago.
Before Aelia could speak, a sudden Crystal Explosion Sound erupted from the West Tower.
Brother's Wheelchair crashed through the frozen door, and his incomplete Twin Legs were entwined with a ghostly blue She Shadow. This curse had been inflicted upon him ten years ago when sealing away a rampaging serpent horde, yet now it precisely wrapped around the floating Family Ledger.
The yellowed pages bled scarlet ink under She Shadow's constriction, revealing records of Magic Crystal Trade modified by Leonard using Snakeberry Juice.
"Father is back!" Brother San's warning voice accompanied an Ice Blade piercing through the entrance.
Leonard's cloak still bore traces of Phosphor Dust unique to West Suburban Serpent Valley. As he stepped over the Hydra Tiles embedded in the hall, the seventh Serpent Scale suddenly flipped over, revealing hidden runes inscribed with Leonard's Concubine and Ailya's Birthday Rune.
Luna suddenly emitted a cough reminiscent of choking on milk, spraying saliva laced with Snake Venom onto Aelia's Wedding Ring.
The emerging Contract Patterns on the ring resonated with the Serpent Mark on Illegitimate Son’s neck, amplifying Leonard’s currently turbulent heartbeat into a thunderous roar.
"Dear, these forged illusions..." Leonard reached out to touch Aelia's hair, but his fingertips suddenly crystallized into ice spikes.
The contract mark on his palm was fading—it was a loyalty curse drawn with Aelia's heart's blood twenty years ago, now being backfired by a family forbidden item activated early by Luna, leaving only a residual shadow.
Ailya's silver hair suddenly grew long, piercing through eighteen ice crystal lamps.
Each strand of hair was entwined with fragments of curses stripped from the children, piecing together a complete map of betrayal in the air.
Second Brother stumbled in, crashing through the ice wall. The Star Trajectory Disk in his hand, embedded with seven snake fangs, resonated with the defensive formation of the Outer Chamber Manor, projecting the panic of the moment as blood-red constellations.
"Explain this!" Aelia waved her sleeve, flinging out blood-stained pearls.
As the pearls rolled over the peacock stone tiles, they suddenly cracked open, revealing remnants of the "An Tai Yao" that Leonard had fed her during her miscarriage—now transformed into seven transparent little snakes under Luna's magical influence, each marked with the same number as Leonard's concubine's moonstone earrings.
Veins on Leonard's neck bulged like snakes as the communication serpent stone hidden in his boot began to heat up.
This was a magic artifact for urgent contact from Leonard's concubine, but it was now experiencing elemental runaway due to the overwhelming ice magic in the hall.
He forced himself to remain calm and raised his hand to cast a soothing spell. However, as his wedding ring fell off, a blood pearl suddenly coalesced into a small snake that bit down on the snakeberry sachet he tried to hide.
"Father, be careful!" Lucius suddenly lunged forward to protect him, his blood-stained sleeve unintentionally brushing against the scent pouch.
The snake scale powder drifting from the tear in the scent pouch came into contact with the ice coffin and Han Qi, igniting an azure blue flame in an instant.
From the flames emerged Leonard's last night at Snake Valley Villa: seven children danced around Leonard performing the Shedding Snake dance, with the youngest wearing a serpent wood amulet that had belonged to their missing eldest brother for many years.
As Aelia's ice blade split the peacock stone tiles, the serpent pattern decorations throughout the magic castle let out a shrill cry.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna pressed her palm stained with milk tooth blood against their mother's back, forcibly awakening Aelia Family's ancestral "Ice Spirit Eye."
Suddenly, the nine-headed serpent ancestor in the dome mural opened its eyes; three of its snake eyes reflected not the current fortress lord but Lucius, who was merging with the backlash curse in a secret chamber.
"You are paving the way for those bastards with the lives of the Children?" Aelia's Ailya's Roar shattered twelve ice windows.
The broken Ice Spikes in the air coalesced into the Judgment Mirror from Three Hundred Years Ago, reflecting Leonard as he inscribed the Magical Fluctuation of sealing the Serpent horde onto the swaddling of the Illegitimate Son—this very talisman had caused his elder brother to suffer a Magic Backlash.
Suddenly, the shadow beneath Leonard twisted into a Serpent Pattern, and his long-worn Heart Shield Scale began to shed.
This was the Inheritance token of the Lords of the Glorious Demon Fortress throughout generations, yet at this moment, it was rebounding against its master due to the tremors of the Bloodline Contract.
In his panic, he crushed the teleportation talisman, but the explosion of Zi Yan was mixed with the Pseudo Element dust that Luna had applied to the surface of the talisman last night—he was supposed to be teleported to Snake Valley Villa, but now he was forcibly anchored at the center of the family's Judgment Array.
"The Ice Spike Chain Technique that Father taught me..." Lucius murmured as he raised his hand, his pale fingertip blooming into Bing Hua.
What seemed like a clumsy Curse actually concealed Luna's tampered Sheen Pattern Magic Circuit, twisting the Guardian Serpent Spirit that Leonard attempted to summon into a blade of backlash.
Scarlet Liquid seeped from the gaps in the Floor Tiles, awakened by the Family Forbidden Item—the Matriarchs' resentment was drilling into Leonard's marrow through his shedding scales.
Luna's Silver Bell Anklet suddenly fell silent, and in the infant's Emerald Color pupils emerged a Golden Gear.
At the edge of her vision, the Hydra Relief on the Magic Castle Dome was slowly undergoing metamorphosis; three decaying Serpent Heads were shedding toxic scales while a newly born serpent neck had already protruded fangs from the Ice Mist behind Lucius.
As Ice Spike chains ensnared Leonard, Luna suddenly noticed Aelia's Fingertip quivering.
The Serpent Ring melted from a Wedding Ring was growing hot; this was a Soul Resonance triggered only when the heroine in the Original softened her heart.
The Golden Gear in the infant's pupils spun rapidly as they saw half of a broken Guardian Spell Emerging from Leonard's chest—it was a mark left twenty years ago when he shielded Aelia from Soul Devouring Snake Venom.
"Mother, be careful!" Lucius's Ice Spike suddenly veered off track.
The boy stumbled and knocked over a Crystal Chandelier, and the scattered ice crystals perfectly reflected Aelia's Hair Tips fading Ice Blue.
Luna immediately bit her Milk Tooth through her Tongue, her cry infused with Xue Mo’s Loud Cry awakened the Nine-Headed Serpent Ancestor in the Dome Mural.
In the center, the Serpent Head suddenly spewed forth Ice Mist, freezing Leonard's severed fingers as he attempted to touch Aelia into an Ice Sculpture.
Ailya's Silver Hair cascaded down like a waterfall, yet the ice crystals that formed within her hair melted into Seven-colored Dewdrops upon touching Leonard's brow.
This was a sign of the Ice Spirit Eye losing control—whenever she felt compassion for her husband in the Original, the Bloodline Magic would backfire.
Luna anxiously grasped a strand of her Mother’s hair, the unique soul vibrations of the infant forcibly severing her impending emotional memories.
"Look at Brother San's Xuanbing Bracers!" Second Brother suddenly tugged at Brother San's sleeve.
The purple bruises resonated with Leonard within the Judgment Array, each twisted line corresponding to the Time Node when the Concubine received her Blessing.
Eldest Brother manipulated the Wheelchair to crush the Peacock Stone Tiles, and from the cracks emerged the Bloodline Prohibition, automatically flipping to the chapter on Soul Grafting. The yellowed pages revealed Leonard feeding his own blood essence to the Concubine on Leonard's Last Night.
Leonard suddenly tore open his clothing, and the ice crystal Brand belonging to Aelia at his Heart began to melt.
This was their Soul Mark from when they forged their marriage contract, now transformed by him into a defensive barrier. "You can't bear to kill me..." His hoarse voice mingled with the sound of Ice Spikes shattering. "Just like ten years ago when I bore the curse of the Soul Devouring Serpent for you..."
Luna's Silver Bell Anklet suddenly emitted a piercing sound.
The infant desperately wiped saliva tainted with Xing Hui onto the Judgment Mirror, causing the reflection of Leonard's Last Night to accelerate abruptly—the truth of that year's Soul Devouring Serpent rampage emerged, revealing that Leonard had hidden within his sleeve a red chain of Snake Scale Powder that triggered Snake Venom.
Aelia's Pupil constricted sharply as the Ice Spirit Eye finally awakened fully, freezing Leonard's attempt to awaken emotional Resonance Magic.
"Mother!
His Guardian Spell is marked by Shuang Sheng!" Lucius suddenly raised his Palm, absorbing Ice Coffin Han Qi.
The newly formed Serpent Scale on the boy’s Palm perfectly matched with the remnants of Leonard’s curse on his chest, exposing the true purpose behind blocking Snake Venom—seizing the opportunity to bind Illegitimate Bloodline with Legitimate Lineage souls.
Taking advantage of this moment, Luna expelled Ice Mist, imprinting Lucius's palm pattern onto the core of the Judgment Array, forcibly stripping away Leonard's final protective magic.
The entire Magic Castle suddenly resonated with the ancient Death Knell.
The three decaying Serpent Heads on the Hydra Emblem crashed down, shattering Leonard's last escape route beneath his feet.
Ailya's Silver Hair completely lost its Ice Blue hue, and the Hair Tips curled into Stardust, forming the Judgment Spear.
However, Luna suddenly grasped her wrist as she swung the spear—an infant's Healing Magic flowed upstream through the Bloodline, forcing Aelia to see that what had crystallized at the spear's tip was not ice but the Rose-Colored Blood Pearl stained during their wedding years ago.
As the Judgment Spear hovered over Leonard's throat, Luna noticed Aelia's left ring finger twitching slightly.
The inner side of the Serpent Ring revealed a Dark Pattern visible only to those who had entered the story—a memory of their first encounter deliberately erased from the Original: at sixteen, Aelia was trapped in a storm of Wind and Snow, and it was Leonard who used untainted Ice Spirit Snake Grass to warm her.
The infant suddenly let out a terrified Loud Cry, and this remnant of warmth materialized in the real world as Heart-guarding Ice Armor covering Leonard's heart.
The last Ice Crystal Lamp in the Dome cast strange shadows: Leonard in the Judgment Array overlapped with the image of his younger self from memory. His shattered Soul Mark transmitted some kind of wave to Aelia through the Wedding Ring.
Cold sweat seeped through Luna's Golden Hair; this hidden setting in the Original was not revealed until the very end—when the Lady of the Fortress felt even a hint of compassion for a betrayer, the Hydra Emblem would automatically repair the damaged Family Contract.
The infant's palm, stained with Xing Hui, pressed against Aelia's neck, planting an Ice Seed to sever empathy at her Bloodline's most vulnerable moment.
Moonlight streamed through the shattered Dome, illuminating the melting Wedding Ring Fragment at Aelia's feet. Each drop of Silver Water reflected Luna's flickering worry—within it lay a Brand of emotion that even a Great Mage reincarnated could not perceive, quietly reshaping the severed bond of souls.
