As Aelia's skirt hem brushed against the Lapis Lazuli floor of the Alchemical Chamber, the sand imbued with Ice Wine suddenly surged into a Crimson Mist.
She pressed Luna, who bore the Moon Goddess Mark, against her chest, the infant's palm tightly gripping her cascading silver hair. The fine strands shimmered with a Mother-of-Pearl luster as they danced in the swirling Magic Energy.
"Madam, please look." Lucius suddenly knelt on one knee, and Third Young Master Lucius Leonard's Astral Pocket Watch floated above the sand table.
The blood-red grains of sand began to reorganize along the Pocket Watch Gear's Track, gradually forming a Three-Dimensional Projection of the Glorious Demon Fortress.
Luna suddenly extended a finger stained with Milk Stain, precisely poking at the location of the Stargazing Tower within the Projection.
Aelia's Alchemical Ring suddenly burned with intensity.
This was the Wedding Ring that Leonard had refined from a Frost Dragon Heart twelve years ago, but now it revealed a hidden Contract Rune in Resonance—an Oath that was meant to protect the family was entangled with a Curse Pattern resembling Bloodvine.
"The Frostwolf Seal..." Aelia's voice was sharp as a tempered blade when the infant suddenly blew a Luna towards her Waist pendant.
The ice crystals on the pendant's surface shattered in response, revealing a writhing Transmission Beetle within.
Seventeen beetles adorned with priestess Hair were about to take flight when Luna caught them in her palm with laughter. The Moon Goddess bloodline caused them to stiffen instantly into Amber-colored Centaurea Specimens.
The broken staff of the Second Young Master suddenly emitted a Longyin.
Aelia trembled as she pressed the pendant against the crack in the staff. The priestess Hair on the beetles' abdomens reacted with the Long Jing inside the staff, weaving an illusion in midair of Leonard kissing Leonard's Concubine on Lunar Eclipse Night.
In that illusion, Lord's Waist bore the Frostwolf Seal, clearly displaying the Emblem of Aelia's Mother’s family engraved at its base.
"Mother!" The Eldest Son in his wheelchair suddenly burst through the Bronze Door of the Alchemical Chamber.
His disabled Twin Legs activated as he approached the sand table, and the Defensive Rune embedded in the Wheelchair Armrest glowed brightly like Daylight.
Luna waved her small hands, covered in Black Slime, and tossed a strand of silver hair onto the blanket at Eldest Son's knees. To her surprise, the withered divine Meridian, affected by the Magic Backlash, flickered with a faint glow.
Third Young Master Lucius suddenly yanked open his collar, revealing a grotesque Curse Mark on his Collarbone. "Father bestowed upon me a Guardian Charm last month..." Before he could finish his sentence, Luna pressed her Milk Fragrance-scented Thumb against his Brand.
The infant Fingertip oozed Moon God's Blood, colliding with the curse to create Xing Huo. From the Brand emerged a bloodstained Remnant Page of a Marriage Certificate—precisely the Marriage Contract that Aelia had been forced to sign twenty years ago.
The entire Alchemical Chamber shook violently.
Aelia stumbled to steady herself against the Astrolabe, watching as seven crystal orbs exploded one after another.
The splintered shards formed a Guardian Barrier around Luna, reflecting the frozen guardian spirit deep within the Cellar—it was Aelia's Birth Mother, who had died during childbirth, her hands still maintaining the Sealing Curse Array's Jie Yin posture.
"So all those years while you were brushing my hair..." Aelia suddenly covered her mouth, as the Alchemy mirror revealed the Ice Crystal Hairpin hidden among her locks.
This was the Birthday Gift Leonard had given her last year. Now, under the Moon God's Power, dark green venom slowly seeped from the Frostwolf Bone Marrow inside the Hairpin.
Outside, the Thunderstorm abruptly halted in mid-air.
Luna struggled to stretch out her small hand from the swaddling cloth, her saliva-covered Fingertip drawing a crooked crescent in the void.
This tender Track surprisingly drew forth the stagnant lightning, striking precisely at the East Wing—the tower where Leonard kept his Night Owl collapsed with a thunderous roar, revealing hundreds of Secret Letters exchanged with Leonard's Concubine amidst the lightning fire.
"Mother, my Contract Scroll is reacting!" Second Young Master suddenly exclaimed.
The shattered Parchment in his arms automatically reassembled into a complete scroll. Those Contracts altered by his close friend began to emerge under the influence of Moon God's Blood, revealing Leonard's Magical Signature.
Aelia's Wedding Ring finally shattered completely.
She bent down to pick up the fragments of Long Jing that had fallen from the ring box, suddenly letting out a cold laugh that sounded like a cry of blood. "Back then, you said you would use the Dragonbone Staff as a betrothal gift; it turns out it was to extract my family's Guardian Dragon Soul..." Her blood-stained palm pressed against Luna's back, and the violet embroidered on the Infant Swaddling suddenly bloomed, revealing the true Wedding Oath Scroll that had been destroyed by Leonard twenty years ago.
The entire castle was suddenly filled with the roar of shattering Ice Layer.
The Eldest Son's wheelchair uncontrollably rushed toward Luna, halting abruptly three feet away from the infant—his withered Magic Circuit in his legs was being reactivated by the Moon God's Power. The Magic Energy that had been devoured by the Siphon Spell Seal transformed into Ying Huo-like Xing Mang, slowly infusing into his pale fingertips.
"Sister is repairing Big Brother's divine Meridian network!" Third Young Master Lucius exclaimed excitedly as he tore open his Curse Mark shirt, discovering that the curse on his collarbone was fading.
The Second Young Master trembled as he held up the restored Contract Scroll, and Lacrima struck Leonard's Magical Signature, burning away the lines of betrayal into ashes.
Aelia suddenly lifted Luna before her.
In the infant's clear pupils, the slowly opening eyes of the guardian spirit in the Cellar Ice Coffin were reflected.
The gentle humming heard during her difficult birth echoed in her ears, perfectly coinciding with Luna's Yi Ya lullaby at that moment.
"Madam!" Qin Si's voice suddenly came from the corridor. The Maid holding the Silver Tea Tray trembled slightly, and the Calming Tea in the Liuli Lantern rippled unnaturally.
Bloodstains faintly showed through her sleeves embroidered with Blessing Incantation, remnants of a wound left half an hour ago when she tested poison for her lady.
Qin Si's Liuli Lantern in hand suddenly emitted a crisp crack, and as Calming Tea spilled onto the Lapis Lazuli Floor, eerie indigo smoke rose.
The Maid’s sleeves embroidered with Blessing Incantation were corroded with scorch marks, revealing blood vessels glimmering with gold dust beneath her skin—this was a unique guardian brand of the Aelia Family.
"Madam, three hours ago at East Tower, there were snacks..." Qin Si suddenly tore open the pearl button at her collar, revealing a wound below her collarbone that had been corroded by venom and was seeping silver-white blood.
She trembled as she pulled out a half of the Ice Spike from the Silver Tea Tray, "I tested it with the tears of the Frost Elf; Lord Leonard's afternoon tea was mixed with the Soul Devouring Grass from Black Marsh."
Aelia's Fingertip Wedding Ring Remains suddenly emitted a screech, and the remnants of Long Jing within the ring floated up, coalescing into a Micro Star Map above Qin Si's wound.
Luna Yi Ya expelled a golden bubble that carried the Star Map, crashing against the Family Crest on the West Wall of the Alchemical Chamber. To their astonishment, it reflected Leonard's clandestine conversation with the Apothecary from last night in the eye socket of the Azure Wind Antelope.
"Is he going to kill you too?" Aelia's blood-stained Fingertip brushed against the ice crystal Hairpin in Qin Si's hair, a gift she had once given to her Dowry maid during her Rite of Passage.
The Guardian Spell within the Hairpin was fiercely battling against the toxin of the Soul Devouring Grass, bursting forth tiny Ice and Fire flowers around Qin Si's ear.
Suddenly, the Eldest Son in his Wheelchair propelled himself towards his sister with a surge of Magic Energy. His newly formed Meridian glowed faintly under the nurturing power of the Moon God's Power. "Mother, the seal on the Cellar Ice Coffin..." Before he could finish, the ground of the Alchemical Chamber began to emerge with Xu Ying, a Frost Dragon Unicorn Skeleton—this was part of the Guardian Dragon Soul of the Aelia Family that Leonard had stolen.
Lucius suddenly tore open his shirt hem and pressed his blood-stained Curse Mark against the Base of the Astrolabe.
The Marriage Certificate Remnant Page on Third Young Master Lucius's chest ignited in flames, revealing amidst the intertwining ice and fire Leonard’s and Illegitimate Daughter’s birthdays—shockingly coinciding with the anniversary of Aelia’s Eldest Daughter’s miscarriage twenty years ago.
"Father even has Time Magic..." Lucius's voice caught in his throat as his treasured Astral Pocket Watch began to Reverse Rotation.
Luna waved her small hand dusted with Long Jing powder, blowing a saliva bubble into the Gap of the Pocket Watch Gear. The reversed Stellar Trajectory suddenly projected a Magic Image revealing Leonard’s tampering with family history.
Ailya's Silver Hair floated without wind, and all metallic objects in the Alchemical Chamber emitted mournful cries simultaneously.
She gently placed Luna at the heart position of Xu Ying, where violets on the Infant Swaddling began to grow wildly. Vines wrapped around Qin Si’s injured arm as Moon God's Power fused with the Guardian Brand to form an Emerald Color healing Light Cocoon.
"Go summon Ice Mirror from the Twelve Elders Council." The lady pressed her palm stained with Dragon Blood against the main console of the Alchemical Chamber. The Defensive Runes modified by Leonard began to peel away piece by piece. "Notify Lark from the Northern Merchant Association; it’s time for those dormant Contracts to awaken."
The Second Young Master suddenly threw a fully restored Contract Scroll into the air, and it unfurled into a three-meter-long Magic Scroll in Moon God's Blood.
The words erased by Leonard emerged in the starlight, each letter transforming into chains that entwined around various parts of the castle, bound by the Frostwolf Seal.
A roar erupted from the cellar as the Ice Layer shattered. The Eldest Son's wheelchair armrest activated its Defensive Rune, forming a rotating protective golden ring around Luna.
The infant laughed and grasped one of the runes, shattering the authority mark that belonged to Leonard into stardust with her tiny hand.
"Mother!" The Third Young Master Lucius suddenly pointed out the window, where hundreds of silver Magic Letters rose from the ruins of the East Wing.
Those Secret Letters, imbued with Leonard's Concubine's Cedar Fragrance, twisted into the shape of a Deathbird under the lingering power of thunder and lightning, only to crash against the suddenly materializing barrier of the Moon Goddess and turn to Ashes.
Aelia picked up Qin Si's fallen Ice Spike and froze the tainted Calming Tea into a Prism.
Through twenty-seven refracting surfaces, each Lens reflected different timelines of Betrayal Evidence—Leonard and Leonard's Concubine secretly meeting in the crevices of time during Leonard's Last Night proliferated like Poison Vines in madness.
"Bring back the Ice Essence from the third level of the cellar before dawn." Lady Fingertip’s condensed Ice Blade suddenly bloomed violet flowers, their petals falling onto Luna Mei Xin to form a miniature Crown. "It’s time to awaken the slumbering Northern Light."
The entire Glorious Demon Fortress fell into an eerie silence, even the Wind Sound froze outside the barrier.
Qin Si tore open her blood-stained Skirt and used the Guardian Brand to draw a Teleportation Circle on the Alchemical Chamber Ground. The Silver White blood, upon touching Luna's Moon Goddess Crown, suddenly burst forth in magnificent colors reminiscent of an Ice Field Aurora.
As the first sound of an Ice Coffin moving echoed from deep within the cellar, Leonard's Sword suddenly emitted a hum, causing Luna to widen her starry Pupil in surprise.
Unaware, the infant bit down on her Fingertip, and the bloodied Tooth Mark resonated with some ancient seal deep within the castle's foundation...
