As twilight seeped through the window lattice, Aelia was blowing on the pumpkin porridge in the Silver Spoon to cool it down.
The moment Qin Si burst through the carved wooden door, three candle flames extinguished simultaneously, and a crimson juice from the blue rose dark pattern on the edge of the porcelain bowl began to seep out.
"The third-floor guest room in the North Tower..." The maid with a disheveled hair bun leaned against the door frame, her sleeves stained with a few strands of peacock blue feathers. "That woman is staying in the Iris Pattern room with a five-year-old boy."
The Silver Spoon fell into the soup bowl, splashing scalding blue blood fern juice everywhere, causing Aelia's pearl necklace around her neck to snap.
Luna, lying in her cradle, was jolted up half an inch, as the residual ice crystals from the source array shattered on her eyelashes into shards—clearly a trait of Leonard's concubine, who had been parasitized by the devouring insect later in the novel.
"Mother!" Brother San's transmitting crystal crashed through the window, his youthful voice trembling. "A woman's cry came from the West Tower, and Second Brother's detection spell shows..." Before he could finish, the sound of a wooden wheelchair rolling over stone tiles echoed down the corridor.
Eldest Brother's magic pattern staff thrust open the door, and thorn vines wrapped around the wheelchair armrest lashed out violently at the air.
As Aelia grabbed her scepter, Luna finally broke free from her swaddling tie.
The baby's loud cry enveloped in magic energy sent shockwaves that shattered seventeen glass wall lamps in the corridor.
When Brother San kicked open a knight trying to block their path, they passed through the emerald corridor adorned with ancestral portraits. Luna focused on the blue iris pollen marks on Leonard's cloak—the golden specks were falling like dust along his track.
The malachite spiral staircase in the North Tower was coated with frost, and Aelia's cold laugh was chillier than a frost blade. "The duke is truly considerate; he even repaired the secret staircase for others." The moonstone at the tip of her scepter illuminated the relief door of the third-floor guest room, and sobs from behind peacock blue drapery could be heard.
"How dare that wench use a transformation spell to disguise herself as pregnant?" Aelia's spell tore through the wedding canopy, revealing a brown-haired woman curled up in the corner of the bed.
The flame birthmark on the five-year-old boy's forehead pierced Luna's eyes with shock—this was indeed the container chosen by the devouring insect in the original story!
Leonard's protective barrier and Aelia's ice blade exploded simultaneously, sending shockwaves that knocked over family crests on the walls.
Seizing her chance, Luna uttered indistinct broken syllables as she saw Shan Na emerging from the source array on the floor. Everyone witnessed as the woman's skirt slipped off to reveal a thorned emblem ring—completely overlapping with Xu Ying pouring into an insect nest.
"Mother, stay calm!" Second Brother's breaking-the-curse totem deflected Aelia's lightning spell, leaving scorch marks on top of the four-poster bed.
Suddenly, a thorn vine from Eldest Brother’s wheelchair ensnared the brown-haired woman's ankle but left a smoking wound on her calf.
Luna's pupils constricted into slits; that was not blood any human should possess.
She desperately waved her arms like Oujie, and suddenly, Brother San's Alchemical Bottle flew towards the woman.
As the Light Gold potion splashed onto the boy's forehead, a larval shriek echoed from within the Flame Birthmark.
"Enough!" Leonard swung his sword, severing the Thorn Vine, narrowly missing Aelia's Pearl Earrings.
As the Duke helped the trembling Leonard's Concubine, Luna caught sight of the wound on his Thumb—the blood seeping from it was eerily similar to the Poisoned Blood in the Bing Hua on the windowsill.
Aelia's Scepter struck the floor, creating cracks as frost crawled up the hem of the Brown-Haired Woman's skirt. "Filth that feeds monsters with Dragon Blood has no right to touch the Glory Emblem," she said, an ice spear forming at her fingertip hovering above the boy's Mei Xin, unaware that behind her, the matriarch's eyes were oozing a black slime like asphalt.
When the first drop of Black Liquid fell into the Earth Rift, Luna's loud cry shattered all the Crystal Chandeliers.
In the sudden darkness, only the Iris Pattern on Leonard's sword hilt glowed with an eerie light, resembling the northern horizon closing in on an unsealed Space Rift.
The chaos in the dark was cut into pieces by the light refracted from the shards of the Crystal Chandelier.
The moonstone atop Aelia Scepter suddenly illuminated, revealing writhing Black Tentacles beneath the hem of the Brown-Haired Woman's skirt.
Luna's cry transformed into a curse in her throat as a protective array hidden in the corners of the cradle suddenly turned into golden chains binding Leonard's blade.
"Do you truly wish to protect this pile of rotten flesh?" Aelia Fingertip formed an Ice Crystal Spear, its tip hovering three inches above the boy named Luna. "Why not let you all see..." She suddenly tore open the blood-stained collar of Leonard's Concubine, exposing a hexagram-shaped rotting wound on her collarbone. "The third necrotic site of the parasite known as Devouring Insect."
Leonard's pupils constricted violently as his sword hilt's Iris Pattern seeped with a dark energy.
Luna abruptly kicked over a robe embroidered with a Guardian Charm, and a unique wave of magic energy resonated from her infant form, shattering the frozen Blood Pearl on the windowsill—those dark red crystals floated in mid-air, piecing together a magic contract signed by the Duke half a month ago, now appearing as a residual shadow.
"Father signed a soul guarantee!" Suddenly, Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch popped open, its dial emerging with a symbol that perfectly matched that of the residual shadow. "If this woman is not a monster, then the contract should be golden!"
Amidst gasps from everyone present, dark energy from Leonard's sword wrapped around the contract's residual shadow.
However, Aelia pulled out a parchment gleaming with Dragon Blood from a secret silver box held by Qin Si. The corners of the paper bore an unmistakably dark green insect-shaped emblem.
As she tossed the yellowed pages towards Jian Feng, the text of the contract suddenly came alive, twisting in mid-air into spellbinding chains.
"Perhaps you should explain why your blood oath..." Aelia used her scepter to pry open Leonard's blood-stained cuff, revealing three necrotic curse marks on his wrist. "...is mixed with digestive fluid from a Devouring Insect?"
Luna seized the opportunity to bite her gums, spraying her Original Magic Power onto the Parchment.
The Baby Blood touched the Contract's Shan Na, causing the paper to reveal a dual perspective—on the surface was Leonard's Signature, while beneath it crawled Abyssal Serpent Parasite Holes gnawed out by insect-like mandibles.
Suddenly, Second Brother clutched his agonizing Right Eye as his clairvoyance magic activated on its own: "The Contract's Hidden Layer conceals a Soul Insect Egg!"
Leonard roared and swung his sword at the Parchment, but the blade was ensnared by a Peacock Feather flung by Qin Si.
Aelia Boots crushed the Peacock Stone Tiles, and from the cracks oozed Asphalt Slime. The Scepter traced a Frost Barrier on the Ground: "Three Days Ago, you used the excuse of patrolling the Northern Territory, but in reality, you went to the Black Marsh to replenish nutrients for the Insect Nest, didn't you?"
Luna noticed that in the Eye Socket of the Matron's Image, Asphalt Slime was flowing down the Frame and onto Qian Si's Skirt.
The Maid Xiu Xie’s Defensive Magic Pattern suddenly lit up, vaporizing the Black Slime into a black mist that carried the stench of Soul Insect Eggs.
"Lead the way." Aelia suddenly retracted her Ice Spike barrier and turned to Qin Si with a venomous smile. "Let's go see the insect breeding chamber personally arranged by the Duke." She flicked her Fingertip, sending a strand of ice silk to ensnare the Parchment. The Yellowed Pages instantly transformed into a Phosphorescent Butterfly that fluttered toward the hidden staircase of the North Tower.
Leonard's sword hilt Iris suddenly erupted with a Space Rift, only to find that his elder brother's Wheelchair Armrest had already bound Leonard's Concubine by the neck with Thorn Vines.
Second Brother’s Breaking the Curse Totem sealed off the edge of the rift, while Brother San aimed his Alchemical Bottle at it, spraying a blocking agent.
Luna gazed at the direction where the Phosphorescent Butterfly had vanished. In her infantile Pupil flashed an uncharacteristic Leng Guang—clearly, that path led to an even more secret altar beneath the Magic Castle.
