The ripples of Star Moon Lake had yet to fade from Luna's heart when Yao Tang's Amethyst Lamp cast her round shadow upon the Lapis Lazuli Floor.
Qin Si was on tiptoe, arranging the top shelf of Evening Primrose, her light golden hair tips dusted with Stardust Pollen. "Third Young Master Lucius's Anshen Incense has gone awry again; this is the third time this month that the Alchemical Cauldron has exploded."
"Master Lucius has been trying very hard." Luna reached up to grasp the Silver Bell swaying beneath her Qian Si Skirt. The delicate vine of her Wrist Snowy Dragon's Bane suddenly elongated by half an inch, precisely wrapping around the falling Liuli Bottle just as Qin Si turned around.
Qin Si hurriedly caught the medicine bottle, her Fingertip glowing with a Healing Magic Aura that illuminated the anxiousness in her eyes. "Next Month is the Magic Castle Heir evaluation. If Third Young Master Lucius is publicly ridiculed by Jiang Lisi again..." Before she could finish, a sharp sound of shattering glass echoed from outside.
Luna leaned against the Carved Window Lattice and saw Jiang Lisi stepping over a ground scattered with remnants of Magic Potion, her pearl Skirt Hem trailing behind her.
The crimson wand in Jiang Lisi's Fingertip twirled lightly, forcing the trembling Fire Sprite in the corner towards Lucius's Alchemy Table. "Why not improve your Housekeeping Magic, Third Young Master Lucius? After all, your ability to blow things up is far superior to your Astrology skills."
"Don't speak ill of Lucius!" Luna's youthful voice burst forth, startling the Night Owl perched in the Eaves Corner. The vine of her Wrist suddenly surged into Thorned Chains but wilted abruptly upon touching Jiang Lisi's protective barrier.
She stumbled into Qin Si's arms, hearing her heart thudding in resonance with the Phantom Lily of the Valley's Zhen Chan—an unfortunate echo of a Great Mage’s soul within a Child’s frail body.
Qin Si hurriedly wrapped her burning little form in a Peacock Blue Shawl. "Miss, you know very well that your magic surge period isn't over..." Her words were cut off by an unexpected Wind and Snow, ice crystals blooming into Frost Flowers on the Window Lattice as Lucius floated gracefully into view.
The Yin Wen dancing on his Dark Robe was no ordinary defensive spell; it was a Guardian Array woven from Explosive Magic in reverse.
"It seems Miss Jiang's Fire Sprite is hungry." Lucius lightly tapped the Alchemy Table with his Pale Fingertip. The small Dark Purple Flames, cornered by Jiang Lisi, suddenly leaped joyfully into his sleeve, dancing like Burning Edelweiss in his Palm. "Be careful when raising Elemental Sprites with Gluttony Spell; they might scorch your bowtie when they backfire."
Luna's wide eyes reflected the Ice Blue Magical Flow swirling around the Young Mage; energies that should have been violent were tamed like a galaxy at his Fingertip.
She suddenly recalled this moment from the Original text—Jiang Lisi would never know that this seemingly languid Third Young Master Lucius had long mastered Explosive Magic to a level where it could be summoned and dismissed at will.
"You're just putting on an act!" Jiang Lisi's crimson Moonstone Earrings clashed angrily, but she froze in surprise as she raised her gaze.
Luna followed her gaze and discovered that the Silver Moon Emblem emerging from Lucius's neck was absorbing the fluctuations of the Phantom Lily of the Valley. Was that... the Great Mage's Reincarnation Mark?
Qin Si suddenly covered Luna's mouth to stifle her gasp.
The back door creaked open, and Jiang Lisi's figure vanished into the twilight, leaving behind her Crimson Headband, which Lucius had secured to the door with ice crystals, forming a thorny rose.
"It's time for you to take your medicine," Qin Si said as she popped a Maple Syrup candy into Luna's mouth, unaware that little Luna was secretly wrapping the Snowy Dragon's Bane vines around the Ice Crystal Rose.
As Lucius's pale fingers brushed through her hair adorned with Lily of the Valley, an ancient resonance suddenly caused a Memory Crystal from the top shelf to fall. The image preserved within was of last year's incident in magic class when Jiang Lisi mocked Luna as "the spoiled rich girl" during Leonard's Last Night.
When the wind and snow abruptly ceased, Luna realized she had gripped Qin Si's sleeve adorned with Wisteria flowers so tightly that it had torn.
With a gurgling sound, Yao Lu placed a Flame Pudding in front of her. Beneath the layer of caramel lay a Magic Star Chart formed from the mist of Star Moon Lake. "Thank you for speaking up for me," he said, his glass-like eyes reflecting little Luna's flushed face. "But please refrain from using the power of the Reincarnation Mark casually; it can hurt."
Outside, the Phantom Lily of the Valley suddenly turned collectively toward the east, while the vines on Luna's wrist curled into anxious loops within the pudding's Cedar Fragrance.
She watched Qin Si mend the Button with Healing Magic and suddenly became aware of those rumors about Third Young Master Lucius being "useless." Perhaps they could not withstand the truth as much as Jiang Lisi’s headband could against the wind and snow.
The water mist rising from Yao Lu swirled under the Amethyst Lamp, forming light purple clouds. Luna focused on the Snowy Dragon's Bane vines entwined around her short, chubby fingers.
The delicate Ice Crystal Veins swayed gently in rhythm with Lucius’s gestures as he concocted potions, as if mimicking his fingertip’s flow across a Star Map.
"Sister Qian Si," little Luna suddenly tugged at the maid’s waist where a Silver Bell dangled, her lullaby voice carrying an adult-like seriousness. "Third Brother's Explosive Magic can be woven backward into a Guardian Array; this is an achievement not even recorded in the Magic Castle Archive."
Qin Si, who was grinding Moonlight Moss, accidentally jolted her hand, causing powder to scatter onto Lucius’s robe.
The young mage felt a faint blush rise to his ears as a feather pen suspended in mid-air while preparing potions stumbled slightly, making him sway along with it.
"Be careful!" Luna shouted as the vines surged into a Silver Silk Cushion, barely catching the Liuli Potion Bottle that had fallen from three meters high.
She didn't realize she was stepping on Qin Si's dragging skirt until a maid stumbled toward Lucius, at which point she noticed the embroidered cloth adorned with wisteria flowers had left an oil-green footprint beneath her.
Lucius gracefully landed on ice crystal steps, and the Yin Wen dancing on his dark robe suddenly transformed into Liu Ying, who lifted Qin Si onto the floating cloud carpet where the herbs were arranged. "If the judges of the Magic Feast saw your combination of Healing Magic and Floating Technique..." Qin Si rubbed her bruised knee, but her eyes sparkled like a Morning Star.
The young man’s pale fingertip lightly tapped the edge of the cloud carpet, and the flowing Yin Wen immediately sorted and organized the herbs. "Father always says Explosive Magic is not suitable for high society." His glass-like eyes reflected Luna's comical image as she sneaked a bite of Flame Pudding. "But if one could refine the morning mist of Star Moon Lake into an explosive buffer..."
Suddenly, Luna choked on the Magic Star Chart hidden within the pudding, her face turning red as she coughed violently.
The Xing Hui she had inhaled emerged on her skin, forming a Silver Moon Emblem similar to Lucius's, startling Qin Si so much that her fingertip's Healing Magic Aura twisted into a chaotic light.
"Use the Luna from Phantom Lily of the Valley to go down." Lucius transformed an Ice Crystal Rose into a straw and handed it to her. As she grasped it, he lowered his voice. "Last year, Jiang Lisi mocked you in Potion Class because she added tears from a Jealous Fire Lizard to her Awakening Potion, didn't she?"
Little Luna froze, and the Snowy Dragon's Bane vines suddenly whisked away the entire plate of Flame Pudding behind her.
She recalled that stormy night in the Original—Jiang Lisi's magical experiment failure was no accident; those scarlet potions splattered on the Astrolabe were clearly made from the same Magic Dye as today's lost headband.
Suddenly, a few burning maple leaves floated in through the window. As Qin Si shrieked and extinguished sparks from her robe, Luna seized the opportunity to hide that Ice Crystal Rose in her Lily of the Valley hair ornament.
When Lucius's Silver Moon Emblem resonated with her Reincarnation Mark, a Memory Crystal sealed with Crimson Mist on the top shelf cracked open with a tiny gap.
The mist rising from Yao Lu enveloped Luna in the fragrance of Starlight Grass as the Snowy Dragon's Bane vines wrapped around her fingertip suddenly pierced through the Ice Crystal Rose.
The Crimson Mist rose like Shan Na, and the light and shadow refracted from the Memory Crystal enveloped the entire Yao Tang in memories.
The Potion Class classroom from three years ago emerged through the mist, where thirteen-year-old Jiang Lisi was dripping Jealous Fire Lizard Tears into a boiling Awakening Potion.
As the thunder outside erupted, the young girl’s Earlobe suddenly burst forth with an eerie red glow from the Scarlet Gemstone.
"Stop!" Lucius's voice cut through the rain, as he activated his Explosive Magic in reverse, forming a transparent barrier.
However, Jiang Lisi's thrown spoon shattered the Protective shield, splattering scarlet liquid onto the Astrolabe and triggering the long-dormant black Magic Circle Diagram.
Luna saw her memory of herself curled up in a corner of the classroom, her face twisted by the backlash of Jiang Lisi's Magic Flame. "It's all your fault for meddling!" She kicked a shard of the broken Astrolabe towards Lucius, "You’re a disgrace for using twisted methods to destroy traditional magic!"
In reality, the Ice Crystal Rose suddenly shattered, sending Luna tumbling onto the cloud carpet.
The Silver Moon Emblem at Lucius's neck glowed with a Red Glow, and those altered Memory Fragments fell like snowflakes—revealing that it was Jiang Lisi’s Moonstone Earrings that concealed the Crimson Crystal which had truly activated the Black Magic Array years ago.
"Miss, be careful!" Qin Si used Healing Magic to weave a net to catch the falling medicine cabinet.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna plunged her Snowy Dragon's Bane into the Memory Fragment. The ice-blue flowers blooming at the vine's tip illuminated Jiang Lisi’s secret substitution of Magic Materials with Leonard's Last Night in stark detail.
Suddenly, a roar from a Magic Cannon echoed outside, as flags from the Magic Castle Heir evaluation fluttered into Yao Tang along with Chen Feng.
The Star Map manuscript that Lucius was organizing was blown away. As Luna tiptoed to grab one of its pages, she caught sight of an Explosive Magic improvement Formula marked by Xing Hui.
"Third Brother is clearly so powerful." Little Luna puffed her cheeks as she slammed the Star Map onto the table, causing the Fire Sprite inside the Liuli Bottle to collectively jump in a Tap Dance.
Qin Si hurriedly pressed down on the erratic bottle cap, unaware that Luna had already climbed up to the windowsill following the direction of the fluttering flags.
The cheers from the Magic Feast echoed through the Rose Corridor. As Luna rode on Qin Si's shoulders and dove into the crowd, she spotted Jiang Lisi raising a wand adorned with Crimson Crystals on the display stage.
Suddenly, a network of Snowy Dragon's Bane vines spread beneath her feet. At that moment when Jiang Lisi activated the Magic Circle, it projected a Memory Image from three years ago into the sky.
"Do you still recognize this?" Luna waved the Ice Crystal Rose as she leaped onto the Judging Table, her Lullaby Voice enveloping the soul pressure of the Great Mage.
Suddenly, Jiang Lisi's Crimson Flame changed direction, singeing much of her meticulously styled curls—those Jealous Fire Lizard Tears mixed with Refining Magic Dye were now wriggling like maggots in her hair.
Amidst the laughter erupting from the audience, Lucius's Guardian Array caught the falling display table.
His glass-like eyes reflected the sight of Little Luna with her hands on her hips, scolding, "According to the 17th clause of the Explosive Magic Improvement Formula, when Guardian Power encounters unreasonable individuals..."
"It should blow them away!" Luna chimed in just as the Crimson Crystal hidden within Jiang Lisi's Moonstone Earrings suddenly exploded collectively.
As the Magic Dust fell like confetti, Little Luna's Silver Moon Emblem on her wrist shimmered alongside Lucius's mark, purifying the residual power of the Black Magic Array into Xing Hui.
In the kitchen of the Nightmare Fortress, Luna huddled behind a chandelier with a Flame Pudding in her arms.
Below, passing maids whispered, "I heard that fiery little pepper burned off Jiang Family's Young Lady's wig..."
"That's not fire-breathing!" Luna fumed and threw a Hazelnut Shell down, accidentally hitting Lucius who was delivering Starry Moon Grass Cake.
The Young Mage's Dark Robe suddenly transformed into a cloud ladder, bringing the sneaky Little Luna to the Alchemy Table.
When Qin Si approached holding a skirt that had been burned into a Black Hole, she overheard Luna bargaining, "If Third Brother teaches me how to hide Explosive Magic in pudding, I won't tell Mother Aelia that you secretly used her Phantom Lily of the Valley for experiments..."
As Twilight bathed the Magic Castle Spire, Jiang Lisi appeared at the corner of Yao Tang clutching her repaired Crimson Earrings.
Through the Stained Glass Window, she saw Lucius teaching Luna how to brew Star Mist Potion. The boy’s Pale Fingertips flowed with Ice Blue Magic while Little Luna’s Silver Moon Emblem on her wrist danced joyfully, weaving together a totem reminiscent of an Ancient Contract in the twilight.
The Amethyst Lamp in Yao Tang glimmered with Rainbows in the Twilight as Luna tiptoed to reach for Lucius's sleeve adorned with the Star Map Silver Pattern.
The Silver Moon Emblem on the side of the Young Mage's neck flickered, casting the shadow of Qin Si organizing herbs onto the Stained Glass Window, resembling a dancing shadow play.
"Can Third Brother's Guardian Array turn into a butterfly?" Luna's Snowy Dragon's Bane vines wrapped around a Potion Bottle suspended in mid-air, and the Xing Hui flowing within the Ice Crystal Veins suddenly took the shape of a Blue Flash Butterfly.
She didn't notice the Scarlet Crystal Dust drifting in from outside until Lucius's Fingertip was suddenly disrupted by an Ice Blue Magical Flow.
As Jiang Lisi's Pearl-Embroidered Shoes crushed the edges of the Yao Pu's Moonlight Moss, her Lucius twisted into the form of a Jealous Fire Lizard on the Colored Glazed Window.
The Scarlet Gemstone on her Earlobe chimed softly, and the magic Zhang Jian hidden in her sleeve began to seep out as Dark Red Mist—this was the same magical substance that had polluted the Astrolabe three years ago.
"Be careful!" Lucius suddenly lifted Luna to the top shelf.
His Dark Robe's Yin Wen instantly spread into a Defensive Net, catching the Magic Spirit Grass pot that Jiang Lisi had unintentionally knocked over.
Those poisonous petals bizarrely bloomed into Ice Crystal Roses upon touching the Guardian Array.
Qin Si's In Hand mortar clattered to the ground. "Isn't Miss Jiang's Healing Class Assignment the Magic Spirit Grass Antidote?" The maid with Light Gold Hair Tips, dusted with Stardust Pollen, instinctively wrapped Luna’s hair around a Lily of the Valley—where a Memory Crystal containing the truth was hidden.
"I really envy Third Young Master Lucius for having the leisure to play house with a little doll." Jiang Lisi’s sweet tone carried a unique rolled 'r' from the Western Realm, as her Crimson Skirt brushed against Lucius's freshly brewed Star Mist Potion.
In the sudden burst of Blue Light from the Liuli Bottle, her trembling fingers were reflected as she secretly swapped out ingredients.
Luna’s Wrist vines suddenly surged, wrapping around Jiang Lisi’s Aelia's Pearl Heels just as she was about to step on the Explosion Magic Array Diagram.
Little Luna pretended to stumble and fell into her arms, seizing the chance to slip a three-year-old Memory Crystal into her Waist's Tassel Scent Pouch. "Sister's Lavender Sachet is so beautiful~" Amidst her baby voice admiration, the crystal began absorbing energy from the Scarlet Crystal Dust.
Lucius’s Pale Fingertip lightly tapped the Ground, and those Dark Red Mist particles polluted by Jiang Lisi’s wand suddenly coalesced into a mirror-like surface.
In the scene emerging from last year's Midsummer Night's Banquet, Jiang Lisi walked towards Aelia, holding a fruit wine mixed with Jealous Fire Lizard Tears, but was stopped by Lord Leonard's Personal Guard in the Rose Corridor.
"Father said that the Magic Castle's West Side is off-limits at night." The Young Mage's voice was cooler than the morning mist over Star Moon Lake. "Miss Jiang should be in her own courtyard preparing her gown for the Magic Assessment."
The sound of Jiang Lisi's Crimson Earrings clashed sharply as she stepped back, knocking over a Memory Crystal Ball on the display stand.
As nineteen crystal balls simultaneously reflected her various moments of swapping herbs during Leonard's Last Night, a sudden scent of Tequila filled the air—Leonard and Leonard's Concubine's favorite flavor of Western Spirits.
Qin Si quickly covered her mouth in shock, while the maid Waist Silver Bell's Zhen Chan resonated with the crystal ball at an unusual frequency.
In her panic, the Moonlight Moss powder she knocked over formed a blurry outline of a manor in the air, precisely the Separate Courtyard where Luna had read about Lord keeping Leonard's Concubine in the Original.
"It’s time to deliver Anshen Incense to the lady." Qin Si's trembling fingers struggled to hold onto the Rosewood Tray, while cold sweat stuck Liu Hai to her forehead.
She didn’t notice Jiang Lisi’s lost Scent Pouch absorbing the Tequila scent, nor did she see Luna secretly slipping a fragment of a Silver Wine Pot engraved with a Serpent Emblem into her sleeve.
As Twilight completely engulfed the Magic Castle Tower, Lucius turned the Butterfly Hairpin made for Luna by Xing Hui towards the West Side.
Little Luna’s Silver Moon Emblem glowed with an alarming red light, while she merely chewed on Flame Pudding and mumbled indistinctly, "Sister Qin Si's Healing Magic will probably be used tonight to mend something more important than a gown."
