Luna curled up in Aelia's arms and let out a lactation burp. Her chubby palm was still smeared with remnants of the magic potion that dispelled the contract, and she was using the motion of wiping her tears to rub the last few drops onto Aelia's sleeve, which was adorned with star diamonds.
"Madam, a message butterfly from the West Coast." Qin Si rushed into the observation platform, holding an ice crystal box, and stumbled upon the ancient demon script formation diagram that still lingered on the lapis lazuli floor.
The twisted lines were glowing as they seeped into the gaps between the floor tiles, with only the Tide Scepter and Xu Ying hovering above Luna's head like an inverted silver crown.
Aelia's hand trembled slightly as she took the ice butterfly. When she saw the damaged iris crest at the end of the magic letter, memories of the "toy" that had been stuffed into her dressing table last night suddenly rang in her mind.
She lowered her gaze to little Luna in her arms. Luna was gnawing on a crystal paperweight with her milk tooth, her amber eyes reflecting the boiling mithril in the star observation instrument—the wedding ring that had been thrown into the fire pit was now melted into liquid star.
"It's time for the tide to recede," Luna suddenly spoke clearly, her saliva-coated fingers poking at the ice butterfly's wings.
The secret letter that should have been burned immediately suddenly emerged on Xu Ying's map; a port marked by red coral was oozing black mist.
Qin Si gasped and knocked over a magic potion bottle. "Miss can speak now?"
"It's a prophecy." Aelia's guardian silver thread tightened around the window lattice as she watched Luna draw a crooked course on the surface of the ice crystal box with magic potion. "Prepare a ship; we need to attend Aunt Mary's funeral."
The eaves dripped water after the heavy rain had just ceased, and Luna leaned against Qin Si's shoulder, counting the magic ripples in a puddle.
When the eighth ripple transformed into a hawk totem, she suddenly tugged at the maid's pearl earrings. "I want Xiong Xiong."
"Miss, please wait; I will get the velvet blanket right away..."
"I want it now." Luna kicked her soft boots trimmed with gold thread as Qin Si turned around. Shan Na flicked scales hidden between her fingers into the puddle.
The merfolk's unique Lan Lin dissolved upon touching water, and suddenly, the moonlight coral on the west side of the observation platform, which had already withered, twitched and spewed out glowing spores.
Aelia gazed through the corridor at the scene, and Wrist's Guardian Silver Thread suddenly tightened.
The spores fell onto the damaged badge she had picked up last night, forming a Three-Dimensional Projection of the East Coast Tidal Pavilion.
When she saw the Blue-Haired Woman holding a baby in the projection, she finally pinned the Emerald Collar Pin to the collar of her Mourning Garment.
As Leonard pushed open the study door, Luna was tearing at his treasured Dragonhide Grimoire.
The Mechanical Prosthetic, embedded with Magic Crystals, was about to lift when Little Luna suddenly looked up with a toothless smile and said, "Daddy hold."
"I heard about Aunt Mary's situation." The Lord bent down, and the Mechanical Prosthetic creaked; fragments of Memory Crystals from the Dark Compartment fell softly. "Shall we have Lucius accompany you?"
"Wasn't Third Young Master Lucius sent to inspect the ice wall in the Northern Territory the day before yesterday?" Aelia lifted Luna away from the mess. The Liquid Star formed from her Wedding Ring shimmered in her sleeve. "After the funeral, I want to take Luna to visit old friends at Emerald Bay."
Luna yawned at just the right moment, revealing a Glowing Bubble, while her small hand hidden in the swaddling quietly crushed a Coral Spore.
Glow Powder drifted toward Leonard's right hand's Eagle Head Ring, scorching tiny cracks into the falcon's eye.
"Early go, early return." The Lord stroked Luna's Golden Hair but suddenly paused—he noticed that a Shell Necklace had appeared around the baby's neck, a protective charm bestowed upon Merfolk offspring at their first month.
As he attempted to use detection magic, Luna unexpectedly grabbed his index finger and shoved it into her mouth to chew on. Her not-yet-fully-formed Milk Tooth even shattered the Defensive Magic Pattern on his ring.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage exited the Magic Fortress Barrier, Luna suddenly clung to the window and began mimicking Yi Ya.
Aelia followed her pointing finger and saw her elder brother's Wheelchair slowly turning on the terrace.
The Heir, who had been silent for ten years due to Magic Backlash, now had a Grimoire spread across his lap—one that had been torn of its cover just two hours earlier by Luna when she shredded that Dragon Skin Book.
"When the tide recedes, the reefs will speak," Luna hummed a tuneless nursery rhyme as she pressed her saliva-covered Shell Necklace against the window.
In the moment of emerging from Emerald Bay, Qin Si suddenly realized that the route was completely opposite to what the Ice Butterfly Letter indicated.
Aelia caressed the Liquid Star at the cuff of her Mourning Garment and suddenly pulled out a strand of silver thread from within.
It was a fragment of the Guardian Spell shattered by the Hawk Totem last night, now entwined with the Magic Trajectory crushed by her brother's Wheelchair, tracing an anatomical diagram of the Mechanical Prosthetic on the floor of the carriage.
Upon seeing the Blood Coral fragment embedded in the energy slot of the Mechanical Prosthetic, she finally unraveled the mystery of why Luna insisted on taking that "toy" with her.
"Miss's Bear Doll..." Qin Si rummaged through her luggage and pulled out a metal shard wedged in the Velvet Blanket, where the Merfolk Totem was intertwined with the Shell Necklace and Resonant Tremor.
Outside the carriage window, Glowing Spores from Moonlight Coral suddenly fell like a Meteor Shower, forming a gigantic Warning Charm behind the Horse-drawn Carriage.
Luna buried her face in Aelia's Mourning Garment black veil, her chubby fingers drawing a moon on her Mother's Palm.
As the second Full Moon Pattern was completed, their Horse-drawn Carriage suddenly lifted three inches off the ground, with sixteen Phantom Pegasus descending from the clouds, stepping on starlight—this was a vehicle that only Lady of the Fortress could summon on her birthday.
"When did Miss modify the Summoning Array?" Qin Si clutched tightly to the Magic Potion Box that was almost floating away.
Luna did not answer; she was focused on the fading Hawk Totem on the window, sticking the last bit of Glowing Spores to her Tongue.
As the sea breeze from Emerald Bay swept into the carriage, carrying a salty scent, deep within her infant Pupil, an Ancient Magic Circle slowly rotated.
At this moment, deep in the library of Magic Castle, a Dragon Skin Book resting on her brother's knee opened without wind.
The Remnant Pages torn by Luna floated and spun around Wheelchair, combining into entirely different content—the chapter on breaking the Bloodline Severance Contract from ten years ago was burning in moonlight, while an Observation Crystal on Wheelchair Armrest displayed that Aelia's Horse-drawn Carriage had deviated from its course by seven hundred nautical miles.
As a Spore from Moonlight Coral drifted into the library, her brother's knee held onto a critical segment of the Contract’s breaking chapter.
The Observation Crystal on the wheelchair suddenly refracted a rainbow, and the torn Remnant Page of the Dragon Skin Book before Luna pieced together a line of Ancient Demon Script: Bloodline Shackles dissolve in Tide Sound.
The wheelchair rolled over the floating Paper, making a rustling sound, as the elder brother reached out to catch the falling Glowing Spores.
Those tiny Light Spots coalesced in his Palm into a Micro Star Map, with a whirlpool marked by Red Coral on the West Coast flickering.
The Star Observation Instrument's Liquid Star suddenly boiled, projecting the memory of a failed Magic Ritual from ten years ago onto the wall—when he personally embedded fragments of Blood Coral into a Mechanical Prosthetic as a Birthday Gift for Father.
"So this is where it is..." The elder brother's Fingertip pierced through the illusion, precisely tapping on the Memory Frame at the moment Leonard received the Mechanical Prosthetic.
The Observation Crystal suddenly emitted a Buzzing sound, indicating that Luna's Horse-drawn Carriage was sweeping over Emerald Bay, where the Tide's patterns perfectly matched those of Blood Coral, Resonance, and Moon Phase.
The wheelchair unexpectedly knocked over a Crystal Bottle, spilling Violet Potion onto the Burning Ancient Demon Script.
In the rising Steam emerged Luna's Tooth Mark left from gnawing on the Dragon Skin Book; those seemingly chaotic bite marks surprisingly formed the prototype of an Inverse Contract Array.
The elder brother trembled as he tore open the Magic Bandage on his Right Leg; the skin corroded by backlash revealed that the Hawk Totem planted ten years ago was fading.
As the sound of shattering porcelain echoed from the East Wing Tower, Second Brother was lost in thought, staring at the Fallen Iron Pocket Watch gifted by his close friend.
Black mist suddenly seeped from the Eternal Frost Crystal embedded in its dial, scorching a Serpent-Shaped Scar on his Hand Back.
A Message Butterfly on the Window Lattice was drawn to Luna's residual Magic Potion, fluttering its Wings to project the Pocket Watch onto the ceiling.
"Kent, so you are here." Second Brother gazed at the thirty-fold magnified internal structure of the Pocket Watch, where hidden within the Eternal Night Meteorite and Hidden Layer was a Soul Devouring Incantation writhing with the black mist.
He suddenly crushed the Moonlight Rose beside his pillow; where Blue Blood Fern Juice dripped, Luna's Mermaid Scales left in the Velvet Blanket emitted a sudden sound.
The sea breeze from Emerald Bay, carrying a salty tang, burst through the window, and Second Brother's right hand, entangled in black mist, suddenly regained movement.
He stumbled toward the desk, dipping the Feather Pen into the Rose Juice and frantically scribbling calculations on the Parchment.
As the eighth drop of Blue Blood Fern Juice transformed into a mermaid totem, the Pocket Watch containing the Eternal Frost Crystal suddenly cracked open, revealing a Sapphire hidden within its core—clearly, it was the Ocean's Heart that had gone missing from Aelia's Bride Price List.
Brother San's Cultivation Room was covered in frost.
He raised the Shell Necklace that Luna had given him toward the distorted Magic Mirror, and the reflection suddenly split into Twinborn.
When the Tide Sound from the West Coast came through the observation array, the staff held up by the left-side reflection matched perfectly with the new magical artifact Lucius had showcased last month.
"Talent Misguidance..." Brother San scraped away the Ice Layer on the mirror's surface with Ailya's White Nails, causing Luna's Glowing Spores stuck to the shell to drift down like snowflakes.
Those Light Spots adhered to the frosty surface, astonishingly correcting the Magic Flow displayed by the Magic Mirror back to its original state.
He suddenly recalled what Aelia had said on his fourth birthday when Mother held his hand and traced a Star Trail on Moonlight Coral, saying that a true Mage should listen to the heartbeat of the Tide.
The door to the Cultivation Room burst open, and his elder brother's Wheelchair crushed the ice crystals scattered across the floor.
An Observation Crystal hovered in mid-air, overlapping Brother San's Magic Mirror image of Leonard's Last Night with the Ancient Demon Script from the library.
Second Brother rushed in, clutching the cracked Pocket Watch, as Meteorite Fragments formed a map of the West Coast in mid-air.
"Tide Pavilion," the three brothers said in unison.
Suddenly, Elder Brother's Mechanical Prosthetic disassembled on its own, and shards of Blood Coral clinked as they fell onto the Ice Surface, each reflecting an image of Emerald Bay and a Horse-drawn Carriage.
Second Brother's Serpent-Shaped Scar began to fade, and water stains from the melting Eternal Frost Crystal pooled on the Ground, forming a Sailing Route.
Brother San's Magic Mirror unexpectedly reflected scenes inside Aelia's Carriage—Luna was pressing a saliva-covered Coral Spore against the window, and those Light Spots penetrated through space into the Cultivation Room, recalibrating the distorted Magic Trajectory.
The Moonlight Coral on the west side of the Observation Platform suddenly grew wildly, its withered branches entwining the Fortress Master Tower.
As Leonard's Ailya's Roar pierced through the barrier, Luna's Horse-drawn Carriage trembled above the clouds, its Wings fluttering.
Aelia's Liquid Star in her sleeve suddenly solidified into a mirror, reflecting the three Heirs of the Magic Castle simultaneously raising Leonard's Last Night, which included the Contract Fragment of the eldest brother, the Sapphire of the Second Brother, and the Shell Necklace of Brother San, forming a complete Tidal Array in the moonlight.
Qin Si suddenly pointed at the sea and exclaimed, "Miss, look!" A group of glowing mermaids leaped out of the waves, their Ancient Ballad perfectly harmonizing with Luna's off-key nursery rhyme.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage swept past the Emerald Bay Lighthouse, the mermaids simultaneously raised their Coral Staffs, projecting certain Sunken Ship Coordinates onto the sky.
Aelia's Guardian Silver Thread suddenly tightened into a Harp String, playing the Lament of West Coast Funeral.
Luna expelled a Rainbow Bubble, inside which swirling Stardust flickered in sync with the Magic Trajectory of the three brothers.
When the third high note sounded, the eldest lady's Black Veil Mourning Dress stirred without wind, and her sleeves transformed into Liu Ying that flew towards the direction of the Magic Castle—where three beams of different colored light shot up into the sky, shattering the Hawk Totem that had overshadowed the castle for a decade.
As Qin Si held onto the Black Veil Mourning Dress while passing through the corridor, she noticed that Moonlight Coral's Glowing Spores were climbing along the Window Lattice.
She tiptoed to avoid those moving Light Spots but caught a glimpse of Luna's Cuddly Blanket Bear Doll sitting on the Crystal Coffee Table—inside its paw was an intricately carved Sapphire featuring a Tidal Pattern, resonating with Aelia's Liquid Stellar Resonance Zhen Chan.
"The miss has left things scattered again." The maid carefully removed the gem but saw an illusion at the moment of contact: at ten years ago during the eldest lady's wedding banquet, the Aquamarine Crown presented by Merfolk Southland Envoy was being devoured by Hawk Totem.
In a panic, she stuffed the gem into her Mourning Garment's Lining; suddenly, the Protective Talisman on her belt grew hot, leaving a tiny Coral Mark.
The sound of a Wheelchair rolling over stone slabs echoed from the Underground Library as Qin Si quickened her pace.
As she carried an Iced Magic Potion past the Spiral Staircase, Luna's Yiya Sound suddenly came from above.
A baby was leaning over the Third Floor Railing, its chubby little hands arranging Moonlight Coral’s Withered Branches into an Arrow Shape, pointing directly at the Funeral Garment Package in her arms.
"Miss, be careful!" As Qin Si rushed up the stairs, Withered Branches suddenly burst into glowing flowers.
Where the petals fell, the wrinkles on the Black Veil Mourning Dress smoothed out automatically, and even the crooked Emerald Collar Pin was straightened back into place.
Luna Laughter giggled as she rolled into the maid's arms, her fingers dusted with Glowing Spores drawing a smiley face on the sleeve of her Mourning Garment.
When Lucius burst through the Carved Door of the side hall, he saw Qin Si staring blankly at the luggage that had folded itself.
The sixteen-year-old boy still had Northern Ice Crystal on his shoulder, and his Silver Gray Cloak shook off fine snowflakes with his movements. "I heard you’re going to Emerald Bay?" He knelt beside Luna's Cradle, and the Detection Magic Pattern on his Battle Armor suddenly turned toward the Shell Necklace around the baby’s neck. "Take me with you; I can make the Phantom Pegasus go thirty percent faster."
Luna blew out a Rainbow Bubble, inside which swirling Stardust suddenly coalesced into a Northern Territory Map.
Lucius was surprised to find that the mark he had left in the crack of the ice wall coincided with a certain Coordinate in Emerald Bay.
When he reached out to touch the bubble, the baby suddenly grabbed his Xuanbing Bracers and smeared a drool-covered Coral Spore onto the Detection Magic Pattern—those intricate gears automatically reconfigured into a Tide Gauge.
"Are you sure you want to join us, Third Young Master Lucius?" Aelia's voice floated from the Observation Platform, where her Guardian Silver Thread was weaving melted Wedding Ring stars into a Mourning Garment waist chain.
Lucius looked up to see a Star Chart floating in midair, while Luna’s torn Dragon Skin Book Remnant Page was piecing together a Tide timetable for Emerald Bay behind Mother.
The boy unsheathed Leonard's Sword and slapped it onto the coffee table; the Sapphire embedded in its hilt glowed simultaneously with the gem in the Velvet Blanket bear paw: "My icebreaker is just outside the West Side Barrier; there are three tons of active Spore from Moonlight Coral in the cabin." He lowered his voice and leaned closer to the Cradle. "Xiao Luna, those Luna's Doodles you drew last time in Father's Study..."
The baby suddenly kicked over the Crystal Baby Bottle, and milky liquid spread across the Cashmere Carpet, outlining the shape of an ice wall from Northern Territory.
Lucius's pupils shrank; this was precisely the anomalous energy point he had detected last night using magic.
When he looked up again, Luna was curled up in Aelia's arms, sound asleep, with Glowing Spores on her eyelashes slowly seeping into her skin.
As ripples spread across the barrier at the front gate of Magic Castle, Leonard's Mechanical Prosthetic was stuck in the joystick of the Star Observation Instrument.
He gazed through the crystal ball at the Caravan gliding past the withered Moonlight Coral thicket when Luna's Shell Necklace suddenly reflected a Strong Light, scorching a miniature vortex on the surface of the crystal ball.
The Lord reached out to wipe away the mark, but his Mechanical Prosthetic joints oozed Blue Blood—fragments of Blood Coral that should have been sealed were now writhing beneath his skin.
"Father?" Lucius turned his horse back to look at the barrier, and the young man's Neck suddenly began Emerging with a Tidal Pattern.
This was the mark left when he touched Luna's bubble, now resonating with the Tsunami Warning coming from the direction of Emerald Bay.
As he raised his modified Detection Bracelet, he saw his elder brother's Wheelchair parked beneath the Dome of the library, moonlight filtering through the Colored Glass and casting a constellation pattern on his knees.
Aelia's Guardian Silver Thread suddenly tightened in the carriage, becoming a Harp String that played a dissonant Requiem.
Luna stared at the ceiling with her Amber Eyes, where Glowing Spores had coalesced into a Magic Castle that was spinning in a Three-Dimensional Map.
When the Horse-drawn Carriage rolled over the Boundary Stone of Shan Na, three Dark Red Light Spots suddenly illuminated simultaneously in the East Wing, Xi Tower, and Underground Training Room.
As Twilight descended, the Constellation Spot in the library Dome shifted by half an inch.
His elder brother closed the Automatic Writing Feather Pen and looked at the newly Emerging Ancient Demon Script Formula on the Parchment—that was the Inverse Contract Array transmitted through Moonlight Coral when Luna passed by the Boundary Stone.
The Observation Crystal on the Wheelchair Armrest suddenly cracked open a Gap, leaking a briny Sea Mist.
The Eternal Frost Crystal Pocket Watch in the East Wing Tower stopped for the first time in twelve years; Second Brother stared at the Coral Pattern Emerging within its dial, and his right hand, eroded by the Soul Devouring Incantation, could once again condense fire elements.
When he tried to ignite the Moonlight Rose by the window, a Warning Totem of Merfolk suddenly leaped out of the flames.
The Magic Mirror in the Cultivation Room was covered in thick frost; Brother San's breath of Bai Qi inscribed a Tidal Formula on its surface.
As he unconsciously mimicked Luna's action of gnawing on a Dragon Skin Book, Tooth Marks precisely carved out a Magic Circuit in the Ice Layer.
The Withered Branches of Moonlight Coral suddenly slipped through the Door Gap, arranging themselves at his feet to form the coordinates of the West Coast.
As the last Glowing Spore fell from the Observation Platform on the West Side, Aelia's Horse-drawn Carriage had transformed into the Xing Zi at the edge of the sky.
In three corners of the Magic Castle, a Red Glow ignited simultaneously, like newborn eyes opening in a slumbering beast.
The shadow cast by the Castle Spire coiled around Aelia's shoulders like a giant python, and Luna, cradled in her arms, shivered suddenly.
The unique magical perception of infants allowed Luna to see the malice condensing in the air—three Star Stones flickered at the tower's peak, corresponding to the imminent extinguishing of Ming Xing from the Three Brothers.
"Madam, a notice of mourning has arrived from the Northern Territory." Qin Si knelt beneath the Black Rose window, holding Hei Yu's Secret Letter, sunlight weaving a golden net through her hair.
Luna reached out her chubby little hand; when her Fingertip touched the Magic Letter, a Dark Pattern emerged on the Parchment that only a Great Mage could see: it was the Teleportation Array she had drawn with Milk Stain three days ago.
Aelia paused in her unsealing of the letter, and Luna immediately let out a Giggling sound, vibrating the air with her unique Magical Resonance: "Aunt Elia... wants..." The magical output this body could withstand was limited, and an Iron Rust Taste surged in her throat.
"Does Luna want to attend the funeral?" Aelia stroked her daughter's reddened Luna, and an uncertain light flickered in her Emerald Ring.
Suddenly, a sound of shattering Crystal Vessel came from downstairs, and Leonard's Ailya's Roar pierced through the Golden Oak Door: "The disabled Eldest Son still wants to occupy Star Tower? Let him go die in Ice Field!"
Luna felt the arms holding her tighten abruptly.
She pressed her forehead against Aelia's Heart, using her residual magical power to simulate the frequency of longing from a dying person—this was Soul Resonance at the level of a Great Mage.
Aelia suddenly stood up, and Qin Si quickly supported her staggering figure.
"Prepare the carriage; we leave now." The lady broke her Pearl Necklace, and the round beads bounced on the carpet, each reflecting Luna's triumphant smile.
As the Horse-drawn Carriage rolled over the moonlight on the Moat, Third Young Master Lucius stood atop the tower, his wand aimed in the direction they had departed.
"Father said you can't..." The boy's words froze in his throat.
Luna reached out her small hand from the swaddling, beckoning to the Star Stone, and the Guardian Spirit sealed within it opened its eyes.
Lucius stumbled back, and as his wand fell into the abyss, the splash of Purple Flame illuminated the tears glistening on Aelia's eyelashes inside the carriage.
The sound of wheels faded away, and suddenly, a Jin Wen shimmered from the Ice Crystal Barrier surrounding the Eldest Son's room.
The tightly clenched Curse Contract in Second Young Master's hand ignited spontaneously, while the False Magic Pattern that had misled Third Young Master Lucius for twenty years began to peel away in fragments.
Luna fell into a deep sleep in her Mother's arms, a trace of overexerted Xue Mo lingering at the corner of her mouth.
At the funeral in the Northern Territory, snowflakes fell upon the surface of the Crystal Coffin, yet it did not reflect the face of the deceased.
Aelia stared in shock at the mirror-like Ice Layer, where an adult Luna stood atop the Glorious Demon Fortress, wielding a Scepter that cleaved through the Shadow Dragon Horde that obscured the sky.
