The frost patterns on the Bronze Door shifted and flickered with the light of Xing Gong Shi. Aelia tightened the swaddling around Luna, her fingertip brushing against the Moonlight Pollen at the edge of the baby’s cheek when suddenly, ice crystals burst into a six-pointed flower on the infant's eyelashes.
When Qin Si crashed through the door, she witnessed those Bing Hua fluttering down into the Magic Crystal Glow, forming a Guardian Spell woven from Bo Frost on the surface of the swaddling.
"The Defensive Rune Stones in the West Corridor have all turned Blood Red!" Qin Si exclaimed, her Jasmine hair adorned with Cedar Resin, her breath reminiscent of a half piece of Canary Feather from the jewelry box.
Her trembling fingertip still clutched a fragment of Ice Python shed skin. "The patrol team reported seeing Third Young Master Lucius carrying a silver-haired swaddle toward the East Tower..."
Aelia's Ice Crystal Earrings suddenly exploded into powder, and in the name of the Moon Goddess, she sealed her treasure. The temperature plummeted below freezing.
Luna suddenly let out a loud cry, and the energy from her tiny palm ignited the surrounding five meters of Moonlight Pollen into Gold Dust. The falling Black Pearl Fragments pieced together half of a Counter-Contract Spell—exactly like the Marriage Contract that had drifted out from Leonard's Study Room Secret Compartment last night.
"Three days ago, when you punished Master Lucius to clean the Astrolabe, I saw him hiding Magic Preservative from the East Tower in his cloak's Hidden Layer." Qin Si wrapped the Ice Python shed skin around her wrist, black liquid seeping from the sound of scales rubbing together. "This morning, the kitchen sent Jasmine Honey Pudding, and the Silver Spoon detected traces of Cedar Resin..."
A sudden cracking sound echoed from the Treasure Vault Dome as Aelia's Silver Fox Cloak stirred without wind.
She looked down at Luna’s heart, where the Reincarnation Mark flickered ominously. Suddenly, she pressed the baby close to her neck against an Ice Tear Mark—an imprint left by Leonard twelve years ago using Starfall Demon Crystal for her Tongxin Seal.
From within the swaddling rolled out a Magic Doll, cotton oozing with Long Blood Ink unique to the East Tower.
Aelia's pupils constricted sharply; she recognized this doll. Seven days ago, Lucius had proudly claimed it was a Full Moon Gift for his sister.
"Madam, Third Young Master Lucius has been studying Space Replacement Technique with the Great Mage for half a month now." Qin Si suddenly bit her fingertip, and Blood Pearl drew a Glorious Demon Fortress Three-Dimensional Map on the Ice Surface. The East Tower's position was fluctuating with a Magic Ripple originating from Canary Feather. "Last night while I was organizing the library, I found folded marks on page 186 of Forbidden Techniques Record..."
Luna suddenly grasped Aelia's flowing silver hair, and energy from her fingertip unleashed a Magic Flow that condensed Dust into a miniature sand table.
The grains automatically formed a panoramic view of Magical Garden, where an Energy Sphere floated above the Rose Maze, identical to that within the doll.
Aelia's ice-blue fingers dug into her palm as she recalled passing by the East Tower that morning; a scent of Jasmine mixed with Cedar Resin wafted through the air—so different from Qin Si's breath—it reminded her vividly of her wedding day when Leonard's Cloak had been tainted with Yixiang.
"Immediately seal off the East Tower." The Lady of the Fortress unleashed three hundred sixty Ice Blades, each blade reflecting the image of Luna's Reincarnation Mark. "Send a message to the Frostwolf Guard; Third Young Master Lucius has recently encountered a misconception in his studies of Space Magic Essentials, and I must personally correct it."
Qin Si was about to respond when Luna suddenly released a Magic Bubble.
In the instant the bubble burst, all Xing Gong Shi projected images from the Magical Garden—roses were growing wildly, entangled with Thorny Vines that wrapped around a strand of blood-stained silver hair.
Aelia's Ice Crystal Crown suddenly emerged with Blood-colored Patterns, signaling the impending collapse of the Glorious Demon Fortress's Defensive System.
She carefully placed Luna into Qin Si's arms, where the infant's touch met the Ice Python's shed skin from the maid Shan Na. Those scales transformed into a Starlight Chain that bound the swaddling.
"Take her to the stars." Aelia tore off her Ice Crystal Necklace, and shards of ice formed a Substitute Doll that matched Luna's size. "If you encounter Third Young Master Lucius..." She paused as Moonlight Pollen coalesced in her palm into an Ice Mirror, which reflected Lucius burning the Contract Document in Leonard's Last Night within the Rose Maze.
As Qin Si retreated to the Bronze Door with Luna, he heard the sound of Ice Layer shattering from deep within: "In the name of the Moon Goddess, seal your treasure."
Suddenly, all Moonlight Pollen floated in mid-air, each grain of Gold Dust reflecting a Colored Glazed Window in the East Tower—on which a Canary was carved—where Cedar Resin was slowly seeping into the boiling Long Blood Ink inside.
Shan Na, crushing Rose Petals with her Ice Crystal Boots, heard the faint sound of metal bells from deep within the vines.
Moonlight coalesced into Blood Mist that wrapped around her waist silver chain, transforming into Star Chart Fragments that fell with every three steps.
Qin Si followed closely behind with an Ice Python Lantern, its lampshade illuminated by Moonlight Pollen that had fallen from Luna's swaddling.
"Madam, look." Qin Si suddenly tugged at Aelia's Liu Su cloak, as the icy light revealed broken strands of silver hair among the roses.
Those hairs were being slowly consumed by Thorny Vines, each Hair Tip crystallizing with tiny Blood Crystals. "The Starry Rose in the Southeast Corner of the Maze has seven times more petals than in the morning."
Aelia's Silver Fox Cloak fluttered without wind, and the Defensive Magic Pattern embroidered on its lining glowed with a Red Glow.
She bent down to pick up a violet stained with Long Blood Ink; its stem carried the distinct Sulfur Smell of Preservative—just like the Magic Doll Lucius had presented three days ago.
A sudden crackling sound echoed from deep within the maze, the unmistakable noise of the Magic Fruit bursting.
Aelia's pupils constricted as she recognized it to be the unique Sound Wave emitted by the Star Moon Berry when it ripens, and the only surviving Starry Moonberry Tree in the Glorious Demon Fortress should be resting in the eternal Ice Cellar at the heart of the castle.
Luna was curled up among the gnarled Roots of the berry tree, her pink fingertips still stained with silver-blue juice.
Beneath the infant lay torn yellowed pages of Space Magic Essentials, hastily sketched with a map of the Rose Maze.
Dazed, she grasped a berry hanging above her, and as it burst, its juice formed the outline of a Reincarnation Mark on Luna.
"Crack—"
The sound of Withered Branches snapping startled Luna into a sitting position, the starlight lingering in her pupils still not faded.
Clumsily pushing aside the berry vines, she discovered that a Guardian Silver Chain had somehow become entangled with thorny vines around her chest, and those dark red spikes were secreting Long Blood Ink under the moonlight.
Lucius trembled, clutching half of a Contract Document in his hand. The Cedar Resin on his cloak glimmered with an eerie blue light in the moon's glow.
As Third Young Master Lucius stepped back, he crushed shards of Ice Crystal Earrings beneath his feet—remnants of a protective Magic Artifact that had exploded from his mother's earlobe two hours earlier.
"Ugh?" Luna tilted her head to look at the young man frozen in place, her unaware palm sweeping across the berry vines.
The touched plants suddenly grew wildly, instantly reconstructing the torn Marriage Contract Document into a floating three-dimensional Star Map—the very Magical Garden panorama Aelia had seen that morning in the name of the Moon Goddess, sealing her treasure.
Lucius emitted a sob like a trapped beast from his throat as the Eastern Tower Key hidden in his sleeve suddenly grew hot.
The signature of Leonard on the Contract Document began to seep with Preservative, twisting ink into shapes resembling an Ice Python shedding its skin, wrapping around his wrist.
Third Young Master Lucius staggered backward, knocking over a magical Silver Cauldron beneath the berry tree.
Luna was enveloped in the overturned Purple Smoke, and the Reincarnation Mark suddenly erupted with a blinding Strong Light.
As the smoke dissipated, the baby was found holding the Magic Doll that should have been lost in the incantation, "In the name of the Moon Goddess, seal your treasure." At that moment, the doll's Eye turned and tracked Lucius's movements, while cotton from its Gap continuously oozed a mixture of Cedar Resin and Long Blood Ink.
"It can't be..." Lucius's trembling Fingertip formed the initial gesture for the Space Replacement Technique, but he froze when he saw Luna gnawing on the doll's arm.
The broken end of the cotton arm revealed a half-embedded Canary tail feather, and the Magic Ripple sealed within matched perfectly with the Forbidden Technique notes he had stolen a month ago.
The baby suddenly giggled, its small hands covered in fruit pulp patting the doll's belly.
Where it was patted, a folded page from the Forbidden Techniques Record, page 186, suddenly emerged. The yellowed pages displayed a blood-drawn formation that began to consume the moonlight at Lucius's feet.
The expensive Deerskin Boots of Third Young Master Lucius began to carbonize, and from the black Ashes emerged the shape of Aelia's Ice Tear Mark.
Suddenly, an Ice Crystal Communication symbol exploded above the maze, and Aelia's cold voice carried fragments of Xing Gong Shi as it fell: "Xiusi, explain the Cedar Resin in your cloak's pocket." As her voice echoed through Shan Na, the Contract Document in Lucius's arms spontaneously ignited. From the flames emerged Leonard's Last Night marked with Tongxin Seal from twelve years ago on a Starfall Demon Crystal.
The doll in Luna's arms suddenly broke free from her grasp, its cotton Palm pressing against Lucius’s Mei Xin.
Lucius’s Emerald Color Pupil instantly filled with Ice Cracks as he saw twelve Ice Sculptures floating inside the doll, each resembling his own face—failures preserved by Father over the years using Preservative.
"Mother!
Mother is here!" Qin Si's exclamation pierced through the rose barrier as the Ice Python Lantern suddenly illuminated the last Thorn wall in the Southeast Corner.
In the Strong Light, Lucius was horrified to discover that the ice crystals forming on Luna's eyelashes were gradually piecing together Aelia’s outline of Lucius. Meanwhile, the Starry Pattern on the baby's Palm resonated with the Ice Tear Mark, creating a shockwave.
The Magic Doll let out a sharp Loud Cry as Luna’s Wrist bell shattered in response.
Twelve Rays of Ice Spike shot up from Underground, trapping Lucius within the Formation Center formed by Ashes of the Contract Document.
Third Young Master Lucius's last shred of sanity evaporated as he tore open the Hidden Layer of his cloak, spilling all the Cedar Resin. Just before the resin hit the ground, he saw Luna raise the doll—the one he had personally infused with Preservative, the "Full Moon Gift." At that moment, it was using the Long Blood Ink he had concocted to write the Breaking Spell from page 186 of the Forbidden Techniques Record in the air.
As Aelia's Ice Crystal Sword cleaved through the final Thorn, the moonlight suddenly extinguished.
In the darkness, there was a sound of Silver Blue berries dripping Blue Blood Fern Juice, mixed with the bubbling of boiling Preservative.
The Magic Doll in Luna's arms suddenly disassembled on its own, cotton spilling out fragments of Love Poems written by Leonard for Leonard's Concubine seven years ago. Each piece was stained with the same Cedar Resin as Lucius's cloak.
Lucius's cry pierced through the silence of the Rose Maze. As he stumbled backward, he tripped over a vine, and his cloak adorned with Canary feathers got caught on a Thorn.
With a tearing sound, Third Young Master Lucius slipped out of his luxurious garments like a shedding Ice Python. His disheveled figure, clad only in silk underpants, shimmered with an eerie Blue Light under the moon.
Luna nibbled on her fingers smeared with berry juice, tilting her head to watch the young man comically get entangled by magical vines every three steps—those vines were clearly plants she had touched without Awareness just moments ago.
"Pop!" The crisp sound of a baby slapping berries startled a Moonlight Butterfly hiding among violets. The phosphorescent dust from its wings coalesced above Lucius's head into a Residual Shadow from page 186 of the Forbidden Techniques Record.
As Third Young Master Lucius flailed his arms through Xu Ying, a Dark Red Curse suddenly materialized and wrapped around his ankle, swinging him upside down toward the maze's Spike fence.
Luna blinked her ice crystal eyes and saw her son's key box fall to the ground. The splattered Preservative vaporized into twelve Canary phantoms under the moonlight.
When Aelia's Ice Crystal Sword cut through the last Thorn barrier, she caught sight of her son's pale legs kicking wildly above the fence.
Third Young Master Lucius’s expensive Deerskin Boots got stuck at the top of a Spike, and blood mixed with Cedar Resin continuously seeped from his boot shaft, twisting into a distorted Family Crest under the moonlight.
"Mother!" Qin Si called out as he chased after them with an Ice Python Lantern; suddenly, the flame flickered violently.
Luna was staggering along while holding onto a half-branch of berry vines. With each step she took, Starry Roses bloomed beneath her feet.
The thorns of those Magic Flowers were all pricked with shreds of Lucius's cloak.
Aelia's Silver Fox Cloak swept through the chaos, wrapping around Luna's small body just as she was about to fall.
The infant's Neck Guardian Silver Chain suddenly heated up, and the starlight bursting from the Chain Pendant evaporated the Preservative scattered across the ground into a grayish-white powder.
Luna suddenly pouted and tugged at Aelia's Moonstone Earrings, causing the Ice Crystal Earrings to melt in her palm, reflecting the last position of the Magic Doll before it vanished.
"Ah!" The infant suddenly pointed towards the Starry Moonberry Tree in the maze's Northwest Corner.
The ancient tree, which should have been sleeping in the eternal Ice Cellar, was now laden with purple fruits exuding the scent of Preservative.
As Qin Si approached with a lantern, he discovered that the bark was covered in inscriptions of the Space Replacement Technique Curse written in Long Blood Ink.
Aelia's ice crystal Ailya's White Nails scraped across the Curse, causing the bark to suddenly peel away like shedding skin.
The remnants of the Magic Doll hidden within the trunk fell out with a crackle, its cotton arms still clutching a blood-stained Love Poem Fragment.
Luna suddenly struggled violently to get down, and as the infant's Fingertip touched the tree root of Shan Na, the entire berry tree collapsed into a swirling vortex of starlight.
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si threw out an Ice Python shed to wrap around Aelia's waist, but he saw that Luna had already staggered into the center of the vortex.
The infant's silver hair suddenly burst forth with a Great Mage-level Guardian Spell, forcibly solidifying the collapsing Space Rift into Twelve Crystal Arches.
From beyond the arches came a faint chirping of a Canary and the unique bubbling sound of Preservative boiling.
As Aelia's ice crystal boots stepped onto the archway steps, the entire Magical Garden shook violently.
Luna was crouched on the crystal Ground, gnawing on some glowing object, while sparks from the infant’s gums ignited scorch marks on the Space Rift.
Her arms were supposed to be empty, but Aelia clearly saw remnants of cotton fibers from the Magic Doll lingering in the crook of Luna's arm—those fibers slowly seeping into her Heart’s Reincarnation Mark in sync with Luna's Breathing Frequency.
"Be good and spit it out." Aelia tried to pry open Luna's small mouth, only to touch something cold and slippery.
The baby suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, with juice from the Silver Blue berries mixed with Cedar Resin spilling from the corners of her mouth.
As the liquid hit the ground, it solidified into a Micro Magic Circle, with a half piece of Canary tail feather floating at its center.
Qin Si suddenly grabbed Aelia's cloak, Liu Su. "Madam, listen!" A faint gnawing sound came from within the Ice Python Lantern, and in the shadows cast by the flickering flame, a small creature with Wings was clearly stealing at the solidified Preservative crystals.
Luna excitedly waved her little hands, her Palm's Starry Pattern automatically attracting the magical residue floating in the air, gradually coalescing into a unique Glow Powder of the elven race.
The moonlight was suddenly obscured by clouds over Shan Na, and the entire Twelve Crystal Arches began to vaporize.
As Aelia picked up Luna and retreated hastily, the Guardian Silver Chain around the baby's Neck suddenly unfastened on its own.
The silver Chain Pendant, engraved with the Glorious Demon Fortress Emblem, entered a Space Rift. The Starfall Demon Crystal on the Chain Pendant resonated with some unknown entity, tearing open a fissure in the void as thin as a hair.
Luna's ice crystal-like Pupil widened in surprise as she saw twelve pairs of transparent Fairy Wings flash through the crack.
The frequency of those Wings flapping perfectly matched the rhythm of the Magic Doll's Eye rotating.
Unaware, the baby expelled a Magic Bubble, and within the fluorescent burst of the bubble, a Residual Shadow faintly emerged, showing a Little Sprite playing with the silver Chain Pendant.
