The dark purple morning mist had yet to dissipate as Qin Si stepped into the nursery, cradling a bundle adorned with Star Diamonds and a Snow Ferret.
Aelia, holding Luna, was gently burping her. The Black Pearl hidden within the swaddling's Hidden Layer was warming slightly with Luna's Breathing Frequency, as the eighth Curse Crystal inserted last night began to resonate with the other seven.
"Madam, look! The Ice Cicada Silk woven into the Dark Pattern changes color with body temperature," Qin Si said, unfurling the silver-white swaddling. The Magic Silk Thread flowed in the morning light, creating a rainbow effect.
Aelia did not notice her daughter's small hand suddenly stiffening. As the swaddling's Lining brushed against Luna's palm, all eight Black Pearls emitted vibrations perceptible only to Reincarnators, precisely outlining the weak points in the magical defenses of the banquet hall.
Leonard pushed open the door, bringing in a breeze scented with Cedar Fragrance. He wore the Star of David Brooch symbolizing his Lord status, and his gaze paused for half a second as it swept over the swaddling. "Let's move the Inheritance ceremony to Full Moon Night. Today, let the Little One relax a bit." Aelia smoothed her daughter's tousled silver hair and replied affirmatively, lowering her eyes to hide her disdain—this man was clearly afraid of any anomalies from the Holy Relic appearing at the banquet; he had never been this "considerate" when their Eldest Son underwent his Inheritance.
"The Ice Wolf Family has sent their Heirloom," Leonard said casually as he adjusted his cufflinks. The lover's Magic Mark inside his Mithril cufflinks had already been covered by Luna's Black Pearl energy. "Their Eldest Son just advanced to Great Mage and is researching Arthur's Magic Potion..."
"The Holy See still hasn't clarified last year's incident involving Living Person Sacrifice from the Ice Wolf Family, have they?" Aelia handed Luna over to Qin Si for a change, her ice-blue eyes scanning her husband's suddenly tense jawline. "But you're right; Arthur does need more opportunities for communication." She watched Leonard's figure disappear around the Spiral Staircase Turn Corner, her fingertip lightly tracing the Dressing Mirror, where she caught a glimpse of the Purple Black Mist faintly visible in the direction of the South Wing Granary.
As the twelve Star Palace Crystal Lamps in the Banquet Hall Dome lit up one by one, Arthur was adjusting the floating tray containing Ice Wine while seated in his Magic Wheelchair.
Lucius loosened his Lace Bow Tie and glared at their Father, who was clinking glasses with a Black Market Merchant. "Those bastards actually invited someone from Blood Rose!"
"They possess a lost Remnant Page for Curse that can regenerate limbs," Arthur said as he turned his Wheelchair to block his brother's furious gaze. The Silver Dinner Knife danced between his pale fingers, slicing the Cherry Cake into precise portions.
When a shadow tainted with Toxic Fungus Spores attempted to approach the dessert table, a cherry atop the cake suddenly burst open, splattering Blue Blood Fern Juice that instantly froze the Spore into crystalline ice.
Luna's gilded Cradle was placed at the center of the Star Pattern Stone altar, while Heirlooms presented by guests piled up outside the Defensive Barrier like a small mountain.
When the Black Market Merchant offered a Jade Necklace entwined with Wraith energy, Aelia's Bing Hua in her hair suddenly bloomed, freezing the Blood Pearl that oozed from the necklace's core. "Such pure Ice Magic!" An exclamation from somewhere sparked waves of agreement among those present, yet no one noticed Luna quietly directing the shattered Wraith energy into the swaddling's Hidden Layer—the ninth Black Pearl solidified within her Dark Bag.
The chime signaling the start of the Zhua Zhou ceremony rang out like Shan Na as Lucius accidentally knocked over a Honey Wine.
The golden liquid wound across the Lapis Lazuli Tiles, forming an eerie totem. Seizing this opportunity, Luna released the Withered Spores she had collected last night.
The eight Black Pearls split open in a blind spot from everyone’s view, unleashing an Energy Flow infused with Curse Power that precisely pierced through seven Nodes of magical defense. The last trace of energy vanished into her tightly clenched palm.
"Let us see the little princess's wisdom." The High Priest waved the Hazel Wand, and the Light Band of the Holy Relic slowly descended.
Luna's silver hair floated without wind as she suddenly turned and crawled toward the edge of the barrier—where Brother San's Alchemical Pocket Watch had "accidentally fallen."
As her swaddled little hand grasped the Pocket Watch, the Meteorite Fragment embedded in its back suddenly glowed, transforming the pre-arranged Cursed Energy field into the radiant light of the Holy Relic's Resonance.
A sharp crack echoed from the ladies' section as a Crystal Cup shattered. A certain Viscountess wiped the red wine splatters from her Peacock Feather Skirt, her gaze fixed on Aelia's profile, as if it were poisoned.
The Prophecy Crystal hidden in her pearl handbag was growing hot. Just moments before, during the Pocket Watch's Resonance, the crystal had clearly reflected a Dark Vortex swirling within Luna's Swaddling—but when she attempted to peer again, she found her magical sight had been unexpectedly redirected to Aelia and Leonard's Ice Flower Brooch.
Light Spots refracted by the Crystal Chandelier danced on the Peacock Feather Skirt as Aelia walked through the crowd, holding an Ice Crystal Goblet. Frost Flowers condensed at the hem of her skirt fell softly with each step.
Second Brother Ian leaned against the Carved Pillars with a sneer. The Sapphire embedded in his Wheelchair Armrest resonated with Third Brother Lucius's Alchemical Pocket Watch—this was their Surveillance Artifact modified last night using Luna's Curse Crystal.
"Auntie's Snow Mink Cloak was identified as a fake by the auction house last year." Ian rolled his Wheelchair over a certain noblewoman’s deliberately spread Mink Tail, his pale fingertip tapping on the Sapphire of his Wheelchair Armrest.
The distant cousin who had been called out flushed crimson; her Silver Fox Shawl, which she had intended to flaunt, suddenly faded to a dull inferior quality, causing nearby noblewomen to cover their mouths and chuckle.
Aelia timely raised her goblet: "Ian's Magic Eye is always so sharp." The Ice Blue Liquor flowed through her fingertip, quietly dispelling the Transfiguration Spell hidden within Ian's Mink Cloak.
Luna sneezed in Qin Si's arms, and the ninth Black Pearl in her Hidden Layer swayed slightly, absorbing all the backlash energy spilling from Ian’s Wheelchair Armrest.
Suddenly, a Gold-haired Boy burst through the crowd, still with Prophecy Crystal powder uncleaned from his Mother's Skirt. "Don't bully my Mother!" The boy pointed his Magic Firework Launcher at Aelia and Mei Xin, but the sparks that exploded turned into ice pellets upon touching the Ice Flower Brooch.
Amidst the uproar, Leonard strode forward confidently, yet his Lion-Headed Sword hung at his waist without being drawn.
"Children speak without restraint." The ladies of the Blood Rose Family hurriedly gathered around their child, their necklaces adorned with poisonous fangs barely visible at their collarbones.
The Curse Doll hidden in her Lace sleeve had just begun to seep black mist when it was struck by a Crystal Pacifier that fell from Luna's Swaddling—the Moonstone-embedded Crystal Pacifier rolled to Leonard’s feet, perfectly reflecting his lover’s Family Crest.
Leonard bent down to pick up the Crystal Pacifier, his movement pausing mid-air as the Secret Silver Button on his sleeve reflected the increasingly thick Purple Black Mist coming from the direction of the South Wing Granary.
Just as he hesitated, twelve attendants entered in a line, carrying the Liujin Golden Gift Box. The box's lid bore the Holy Emblem of The Holy See alongside the Skull Emblem of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, an eerie coexistence.
"Congratulations, Lord!" The leading envoy unfurled the Gilded Gift List, and a Scepter embedded with the Evil Dragon's Eye rose from within the box.
Leonard's Gray-Blue pupils constricted sharply as he clearly saw that the end of the Scepter was engraved with fragments of a love letter he had written to the Northern Territory twenty years ago—those Tiny Inscriptions were twisting into hymns of praise under the influence of his lover's Magic Mark.
Luna suddenly let out a laugh reminiscent of Yin Ling, her small hand waving and stirring up a flurry of Stardust.
The ninth Black Pearl shattered in response, and the Withered Spores that had been strategically placed at the bottom of the Golden Gift Box began to flourish, instantly covering the Scepter's surface with secret script transformed into verses of praise.
Leonard joyfully caressed the suddenly revealed merit Emblem on the Scepter, completely unaware that dark red patches had already stained his nape from the Spore.
"Father, Luna needs a diaper change." Lucius suddenly squeezed to the front of the altar, his Alchemical Pocket Watch Chain snagging on the gem atop the Scepter.
With a clang, as the Watch Case sprang open, a pre-recorded Loud Cry of a baby mixed with a reverse Curse Incantation poured out, cleverly masking the hissing sound of Spore invading flesh.
Aelia trembled slightly as she took her daughter in her arms; the Coldness erupting from her Ice Flower Brooch froze a guest attempting to capture footage with a Memory Crystal.
She gazed at the Star Palace Crystal Lamp in the Dome as its glow began to fade, suddenly recalling the Purple-Black vortex in the direction of South Wing Granary—an unmistakable omen of Blood Sacrifice taking place in the Dark Sanctuary.
Qin Si quietly retreated to a side hall with a Bathtub adorned with Evening Primrose. The Ice Cicada Silk at its bottom was absorbing remnants of Cursed Energy from the banquet.
As the last guest's compliments faded at the end of the spiral staircase, Luna's Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly emitted an alarm only a Reincarnator could hear—within the frost forming along the Bathtub's edge, hints of Dark Sanctuary's Skull Totem began to emerge.
The frost along the Bathtub's edge gradually spread into spider web-like Ice Cracks. Qin Si hummed a Lullaby while adding Rose Essential Oil to the water, completely unaware of the surging Purple Black Energy beneath its surface.
Luna's damp silver hair clung to her forehead as her chubby little hands gripped tightly onto the edge of the Bathtub—now a reincarnated Great Mage, she would rather face ten Dark Mages than endure this infant bathing ritual.
"Young Miss, please don't move," Qin Si said as he wiped her back with a magical sponge. Suddenly, a strange suction force emanated from the bottom of the bathtub.
Luna sensed that Ankeli's Ice Cicada Silk was frantically absorbing the residual Cursed Energy from the banquet, causing the once-clear bath water to swirl with an inky black hue.
She quickly summoned the remaining Black Pearl energy from the swaddling cloth, but to her dismay, the infant's fragile Magic Circuit couldn't withstand the dual impact, and the entire bathtub erupted into Ice Shards.
The door to the side room creaked open, and Lucius leaned against the door frame, holding a wine-red velvet cloak. "Mother said to use Laurel Leaf..." Before he could finish his sentence, the hidden Skull Totem at the bottom of the bathtub suddenly activated and screeched as it lunged toward Luna's heart.
In a startled cry, Qin Si knocked over an oil bottle, and golden liquid snaked across the Ice Surface, forming a sealing magic circle—this was the Counter-Curse Trap set by Aelia using fragments of a Dressing Mirror that morning.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna dipped her fingertip into the Magic Circle Core and used the smooth texture of the oil to draw a Reversal Spell on the Ice Surface.
With a thunderous explosion, the bathtub shattered. Lucius's Alchemical Pocket Watch suddenly sprang open, and the stored Protective Barrier barely enveloped the flying Ice Blades.
As the Ice Mist cleared, an infant girl was revealed, covered in Laurel Leaf and glaring indignantly at the magical sponge floating in mid-air—still clinging to a strand of silver hair she had hastily pulled out in panic.
"Holy Spring above!" Aelia exclaimed as she rushed in, waving her Frostflower Staff to freeze the chaos into crystalline sculptures.
She failed to notice her daughter's ear adorned with a newly formed faint Golden Magic Pattern—a protective mark created by the fusion of Black Pearl energy and Ice Cicada Silk.
Luna angrily splashed at the water's surface, but instead of droplets, they bizarrely coalesced into miniature Scepter shapes that dissipated into Qing Yan upon touching down.
The Magic Mirror in the Changing Room suddenly reflected an anomaly from the South Wing Granary. As Aelia turned to investigate, Lucius quickly stuffed something into Luna's new swaddling cloth.
It was half of a Bronze Key engraved with a Star Moon Emblem, which perfectly matched with an ancient Remnant Page he had stealthily taken from his father's secret chamber three hours ago—together they formed a complete totem that was said to be the key to unlocking the legendary Holy Relic Altar.
"It seems our little princess has some opinions about Cleaning Magic," Lucius remarked while using a wind-based spell to dry Luna's curls. His fingertip deliberately brushed against her grasp on the Alchemical Pocket Watch.
The Meteorite Fragment embedded on its back suddenly heated up, projecting a fleeting Water Mist Residual Shadow shaped like a Scepter onto the ceiling. Just then, Arthur entered with ginger tea and caught sight of the ephemeral light spot.
The Magic Wheelchair of Second Brother rolled over a dent in the Peacock Stone Tiles, and the Sapphire monitor suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.
He pretended to adjust Luna's Lei Silk Stockings, but in reality, he was using Ice Magic to carve a Warning Symbol into the Ground: "The concentration of Dark Element in the direction of the South Wing Granary is exceeding limits, but the patrol team from The Holy See..." His words were interrupted by a sudden commotion in the courtyard, as a Golden Gift Box inlaid with Jin Bian sprang open on its own, revealing a proliferation of Toxic Fungus flowers inside.
Luna squirmed in her swaddling, the residual energy from the ninth Black Pearl coursing along the seams.
When Aelia's Frost Spell collided with the Toxic Fungus Spores, the Pocket Watch key suddenly guided the two energies to intertwine in midair, forming the outline of a Scepter known as Xu Ying—this time everyone clearly saw the magical Scepter entwined with Xing Mang, though it shattered into motes of light almost instantly.
"Oh dear, isn't that the toy wand I lost last month!" Lucius exclaimed dramatically, while the Alchemical Pocket Watch quietly absorbed several fragments of light dust.
Arthur turned his Wheelchair to block Father's inquisitive gaze, and the Sapphire on the Wheelchair Armrest refracted the Scepter Xu Ying into a harmless rainbow projected onto the wall.
Only Luna noticed that when the light dust merged into the Pocket Watch, one-third of the Star Moon Emblem on the Bronze Key suddenly lit up.
Aelia picked up her daughter and walked toward the altar, and for a brief moment, all at once, the Dome and Star Palace Crystal Lamp dimmed.
From an unseen angle, within Luna's Swaddling and Hidden Layer, a Curse Crystal absorbing energy resonated with the Bronze Key. The mottled Dark Patterns gradually pieced together half of an Ancient Inscription on the Scepter's handle—exactly what was once lost to magic: the opening chapter of the Genesis Codex.
As Celebratory Fireworks exploded in Twilight with their first Purple Gold Firework, no one noticed the subtle crack that had formed at the Base of the altar.
Dark Golden Liquid seeped from this crack, spreading along the grooves of Star Pattern Stone and gradually outlining a design that perfectly matched Luna's Ear and Magic Pattern.
Lucius wiped away the frost that had formed on the surface of his Pocket Watch, a confident smile curving at his lips—tonight, within the Purple Black Mist in the direction of South Wing Granary, there was unmistakably a trace belonging to a Holy Relic’s Liujin Halo.
