As the morning mist had yet to dissipate, a sudden sound of fabric tearing echoed through the cradle.
Luna stared at the dark green markings emerging on her left wrist, her chubby face scrunching up like a steamed bun.
She remembered that in the original, this Soul Devouring Mushroom Mark would drain the host's magic source on a full moon night, and at that moment, the palm of her hand began to throb as the mark gnawed at her still-forming magic pool through her blood vessels.
“Yi Ya!” Luna kicked her short legs with all her might, smashing her drool-covered fist against the Xingyue Lingdang hanging above the cradle.
The bell made of mithril collided with the wall, producing a clear sound that caused the crystal bottle holding an Ice Crystal Rose on the bedside table to shatter, splattering its contents onto the mark on her wrist.
Aelia, who was entering with a bowl of medicine, froze at the door, watching as the pale blue liquid trickled down her daughter's arm like an ancient incantation.
Those herbs were a sedative she had prepared according to ancient texts, but now they transformed into chains sealing the Soul Devouring Mushroom under Luna's unaware magical pull.
“Madam!” Qin Si burst in, holding up his skirt just as he caught sight of Aelia trembling as she touched the fading mark on Luna's wrist. “The Young Master's wheelchair suddenly caught fire in the magic practice field!”
Luna's eyes sparkled like stars; this was clearly the key node to breaking her brother's curse from the original story.
Suddenly bursting with incredible strength, she tugged at Aelia's silvery hair and pulled her towards the door, her lips stained with milk making urgent "ah ah" sounds.
When everyone arrived at the practice field, which had been mostly burned down, Luna focused on the charred remains of the magic pattern on the wheelchair and spat out a bubble towards a Dark Night Iris blooming in the corner.
The starry bubble floated lazily into the flowerbed, bursting into tiny light spots along with Ye Lu.
The ground, once scorched earth, suddenly revealed a complete Reversal Array, with a shard of her brother's wand—broken three years ago during his backlash—at its center.
“My sister is guiding me.” Her brother’s pale finger traced along the edge of the array, and his pupils—long shrouded in gray mist—suddenly cleared.
He bit his fingertip, letting blood drip onto the formation, and those dormant magic patterns coiled around his crippled twin legs like a waking giant serpent.
When Aelia screamed and rushed forward, eighteen sealing spells suddenly erupted from her elder brother Spine, shattering into a sky full of gold dust in the morning light.
As the fragments of the wand emitted a longyin-like zhen chan, her brother's back, which had been hunched for five years, finally straightened.
His fingertip danced with lei guang, activating the defensive barrier of the practice dome. A seven-colored elemental rainbow light suddenly burst forth above the entire magic castle—this was a sign of the family's heir awakening their magical powers.
Aelia sat down on the unwashed stone steps of Chen Lu, holding her daughter tightly as she watched her eldest son bathe in the elemental torrent. Suddenly, she felt the ice butterfly scale powder in her pocket begin to heat up.
Three hours ago, those ice butterflies tracking Leonard's concubine returned with a bloodstained wedding ring and a few strands of red hair, now burning her skin through the silk fabric.
"So that's why every time you said you were patrolling the borders, your collar was scented with this wild rose perfume." Aelia buried her face in her daughter's swaddling, which carried a milk fragrance. The memories of Leonard's last night proposing in the moonlight flower sea suddenly cracked open like fine lines.
She fumbled to remove the family crest from her chest, discovering that its back had been inscribed with a shrunken curse at some point, with a crimson magic crystal embedded at its core—unique to the outsider family.
Luna sensed her mother’s sudden tightening embrace and quickly blew out a snot bubble wrapped in starlight.
The bubble wobbled and landed on the badge, instantly corroding the crimson magic crystal into ashes.
When Aelia looked up in astonishment, she collided with the ancient star map swirling in her daughter's pupils—that was clearly the eye of delusion created by Isaac, the great mage who fell a hundred years ago.
As twilight descended, Luna was carried by Brother San to the terrace to gaze at the stars.
She pretended to playfully bat at the star compass while actually adjusting the stellar trajectory to resemble her second brother's close friend’s fate chart.
When a bizarre blood-red cross appeared in the star map projected by the instrument, Brother San's alchemical ring's detection gem suddenly emitted a blinding red light—this was a warning of betrayal from a soul contract.
As the last rays of twilight were crushed against the stone railing of the terrace, the gem of Alchemy on Brother San's wrist had turned a deep shade of crimson.
He trembled as he aimed the Star Compass at the Magic Training Ground on the West Side of the courtyard. The moonlight pierced through the Crystal Lens, imprinting a distorted Star Trail Pattern onto the Azure Brick Ground—this was the Coordinate Point where Second Brother had forged a Soul Contract with his closest friend.
"Third Young Master!" Qin Si rushed over, holding the Night Light. "The Contract Emblem of Second Young Master has suddenly started to backfire..." Before he could finish, Luna suddenly grasped the Starry Brooch on Brother San's collar. Milk Tooth bit into her fingertip, flinging a Blood Pearl towards the Star Compass.
Crimson droplets splattered onto the Lens, spreading outwards, and the previously blurred Star Trail transformed into Entity Chains, shooting towards the Training Ground.
As Second Brother's scream pierced through the night, Luna was wrapped in Aelia's Moonshadow Mongoose Cloak.
She gazed at the frost that had formed on her mother's brooch and suddenly reached out her small hand to pat at the melting groove of the emblem.
The fragmented Curse was activated by an infant's pure magic, projecting a holographic image of Leonard and Leonard's Concubine secretly meeting at White Rose Manor—Leonard's Concubine's rounded belly during Leonard's Last Night stung everyone's eyes present.
"To the Training Ground." Aelia's voice was colder than Winter Night's frigid waters. Qin Si noticed that an Ice Crystal Rose tucked in her hair was growing wildly, its sharp thorns piercing her earlobe.
When they arrived, Second Brother was suspended in the center of the Contract Array by Star Trail Chains.
His former friend's Alchemical Puppet held a Soul Severing Device, grinning wickedly as it aimed its tip at his Mei Xin.
Luna suddenly let out a Loud Cry, her tears transforming into Ice Crystal Rain that shattered the Puppet's core power source.
Seizing the opportunity, Brother San pressed the Alchemical Ring against the Ground. The Detection Rune emerging on its surface instantly reversed the Contract Flow.
"Do you think you can deceive me with false star Blessings?" Second Brother's bloodied fingertip suddenly glowed with a Dark Purple Magic Pattern. The altered Contract Terms began to peel away under the true light of the Star Trail. "Three years ago, you had me use Dark Night Iris instead of Chen Lu to draw up that array—not to enhance magical purity!"
His friend's pupil suddenly constricted as a Spider Web-like Curse Pattern emerged on his neck—this was indeed a sign of Contract Backlash.
Luna timely expelled a snot bubble wrapped around Xing Xu, and at the moment the bubble burst, a complete Star Guardian Array emerged on Second Brother's chest, reflecting the backlash of the curse back entirely.
As his dear friend turned to ashes in the black flames, Second Brother staggered into Brother San's embrace.
From his tattered clothing fell a half-burned Pocket Watch, its back engraved with the Ancient Elvish Language phrase "Shared Life and Death," slowly dissipating under the moonlight.
"Sister..." Second Brother's blood-stained fingers gently touched Luna's Luna. The gloom that had settled in his eyes for five years retreated like morning mist meeting light. "The gift you gave me for the Hundred Day Feast, that music box that rains down starlight..."
Luna blinked her big, wet eyes and suddenly reached out to grab Second Brother's disheveled Hair Tips.
The starlight dancing at her Fingertip merged into his Hair, instantly restoring the gray strands caused by Contract Backlash to a dazzling Platinum.
Brother San's Alchemical Ring suddenly emitted a Qing Ming sound, and from the Detection Gem emerged Second Brother's complete Magic Veins—those blocked Nodes were being unblocked one by one under the starlight.
"It's my turn." Brother San abruptly shoved the Star Compass into Luna's arms, and the gems on the Alchemical Ring began to flash wildly.
As he turned to dash toward the Library Tower, Luna intentionally knocked over a Crystal Baby Bottle, splashing its contents onto the Star Compass Base.
The milky liquid seeped into the gear Gap, realigning the previously misaligned Stellar Trajectory.
Moonlight streamed through the calibrated Star Compass onto the wall, revealing a Star Map. Next to what Brother San mistakenly believed represented his talent, the "Eclipsing Moon Star," shone brightly with the true Ming Xing "Weaver of Flames."
The five years he had wasted on an erroneous path of cultivation crystallized into blood-red regret on the Star Map.
"It turns out that Grandfather's Observation Record was tampered with." Brother San's Alchemical Ring triggered Resonance in the Ancient Texts Area, causing Ankeli to fly out with half a charred Parchment.
When Luna's Saliva touched the incomplete Tiny Inscriptions, the concealed truth emerged—his fire Elemental Affinity was not a flaw but rather a rare Lava Heart constitution that occurs once in a millennium.
In the darkest moment of dawn, Brother San ignited the first cluster of True Fire at the Training Ground.
The crimson-gold flames consumed his treasured Error technique, and amidst the firelight emerged the Ancient Contract Emblem, a symbol of the alliance forged between the glorious First Lord of the Magic Fortress and the Fire Spirit King.
"Mother!" The elder brother's exclamation echoed from the direction of the banquet hall just as Aelia pressed the Bloodstained Wedding Ring against the Truth Mirror in the Family Council Chamber.
Ripples spread across the mirror's surface, reinterpreting the Two Hundred Thirty-Four Border Patrol Records. The Wild Rose Perfume lingering at Leonard's collar perfectly matched the Territory Coordinates of the Outsider Family.
As Qin Si entered with the Evidence Box brought back by the Ice Butterfly, Aelia's Hairpin was embedded in Leonard's Xu Ying Heart within the mirror.
The Bloodstained Wedding Ring and Crimson Magic Crystal reacted violently on the mirror's surface, revealing the Seventeen Secret Strongholds hidden outside the Magic Fortress Barrier like bloodstains on rice paper.
"Tomorrow noon, summon the Twelve Elders." Aelia plucked the wilted Ice Crystal Rose from her hair; its petals fell to the ground like blades, carving a three-inch deep Breakup Declaration into the Lapis Lazuli Floor.
As she turned, her skirt brushed against the Evidence Box, causing Ice Butterfly Scale Powder to automatically coalesce into an indictment, each stroke glinting with a chilling light.
Luna was learning to speak in her Cradle when Lucius stood in the shadows of the Spiral Staircase.
The Moonstone Brooch he had prepared for Aelia suddenly cracked, oozing Black-Red Liquid from its core—this was a Backlash Sign of the Family Blood Pact that Grandfather had warned about before his passing.
The young man gazed at the Ice Blue Light Column soaring towards the Assembly Hall, pressing down on his suddenly Emerging Magic Pattern in his Left Eye, where a burning pain was radiating.
Lucius's fingers dug deep into the Relief Gap of the Spiral Staircase, and his Left Eye Zhuo Tong felt as if lava were surging back into it.
The Ice Blue Light Column rising from the direction of the Assembly Hall pierced through Stained Glass, casting an eerie Diamond Light Spot at his feet.
From the cracks in the Moonstone Brooch seeped Black Red Slime, dripping onto the carpet with a corrosive hissing sound.
A sudden sound of shattering crystal echoed through the nursery.
As the boy hurried down the corridor, he saw Luna crouched at the edge of the cradle, her chubby little hand pressing against a light spot on the celestial chart carpet.
Moonlight streamed through the dome's star chart device, casting its glow upon her. The dancing light spots formed a remnant of an ancient prophecy—"When the blood moon hangs high, the magic pattern shall appear."
"You sensed it too?" Lucius knelt beside the cradle, a sharp pain like a tear suddenly stabbing through his left eye.
In a panic, he tore off his neck scarf embroidered with the family crest, only to find that the magic pattern in his reflection had shifted from dark red to a deep purple.
Luna suddenly reached out her finger, stained with milk, and drew an incomplete Xing Mang symbol on his skin where Ailina's burn marked him.
The crisp sound of ice crystals echoed from the end of the corridor.
Aelia hurried past, her skirt lifted as she moved, and the frosted rose in her hair glimmered with a cold light.
The phantoms of the Twelve Elders swirled within the council chamber dome, their scepters casting shadows that formed a judgment scale on the ground.
Leonard's Ailya's Roar pierced through the triple barrier: "The coordinates detected by those ice butterflies are utterly unreliable!"
Luna suddenly coughed violently, spewing milk foam that crystallized mid-air into a micro star map.
Lucius was stunned to see that three of the stars overlapped with the territory of the Outsider Family, and the track connecting these light spots clearly indicated the weakest point of the magic fortress barrier—the northwest corner.
As he attempted to touch the star map, Luna's tears transformed into ice crystals, clattering as they fell onto the bronze star track plate, calibrating an accurate countdown to the blood moon down to the second.
"Third Young Master Lucius!" Qin Si burst through the door, clutching a blood-stained contract. "The Outsider Family's Pegasus Knights are breaking through the eastern barrier!" The parchment in her hand was still dripping indigo liquid, a real-time battle report written in ice butterfly scale powder.
Luna suddenly grasped Lucius's bleeding Left Eye, and amidst his scream, the shadows cast by the starlight revealed a map of the ancient dragon ruins on the wall.
Aelia's icy spell detonated in the courtyard, and at that moment, Luna's wrist marked with the Soul Devouring Mushroom began to resonate.
Struggling to turn over, she used her saliva to draw a twisted symbol at the bottom of the cradle.
The entire nursery's Star Chart Device began to rotate simultaneously, and from beneath the Magic Castle came a rumble akin to a dragon awakening—the long-sealed Defensive Formation was reading the pure Magic Fluctuation of the infant.
Lucius leaned against the wall, gasping heavily; the numbness in his Left Eye had transformed into a sensation of ice and fire intertwining.
He watched as Luna used starlight to guide Mother in repairing the Barrier Gap, suddenly realizing that his shadow was splitting into two under the moonlight—one was the noble silhouette of the Glorious Demon Fortress Heir, while the other took on a demonic form with Dragon Wings and Demon Horns.
The boy trembled as he reached for his waist where Leonard's Sword hung, but instead touched the Dragon Scale Pendant that his grandfather had given him before passing. At that moment, this token pulsed in sync with the Luna Star Map.
As the first beam of blood moonlight pierced through the clouds, Luna's wrist mark suddenly transformed into an eye totem from the Prophecy Tablet.
She looked at Lucius's splitting shadow and emitted a warning, causing the nursery's Crystal Chandelier to shatter in response.
The splintered fragments coalesced into a blood-red iris in the moonlight, precisely like the torn page from the First Generation Fortress Lord's Journal that bore a warning: "When the Shuang Sheng Magic Pattern manifests, the slumbering ancient dragon will awaken its Judgment Eye."
