The Ice Crystal Shards embedded in Shan Na made the entire Glorious Demon Fortress appear as if it were soaked in moonlight, resembling a Liuli Lantern.
Luna curled up in the blood-stained swaddling, her Silver White pupils reflecting the dissipating Long Shadow outside the barrier.
Aelia's trembling fingertip still bore the Blue Blood of the Covenant Ice Crystal, taken from her Heart when she made a marriage pact with Leonard at the age of eighteen.
"Madam!" Qin Si burst in, stepping on the shattered Xing Hui scattered across the floor. The petals of the Iris woven into the maid's Hair Bun fell in a flurry. "The Lord has taken Master Lucius to the East Wing, saying he needs to repair..."
"Repair what?" Aelia suddenly tightened her grip on Luna's swaddling. The unyielding Yue Wen on the infant's collarbone burned her palm painfully. "Is he repairing the Barrier Rift he tore open with his own hands, or is he mending the twenty-year marriage woven from lies?"
Luna struggled to turn her head in her mother's suddenly constricting embrace.
Moonlight streamed through the broken Colored Window, slicing the Family Portrait on the wall into disjointed fragments—beneath the couple holding hands in the painting, a shadow resembling spilled ink writhed.
This was evidence of Leonard's captivity of the Shadow Dragon Clan in the original text and also the source of the curse that backfired on her elder brother during his astrology.
"Yee... ah..." Luna exerted her last bit of magic to activate her vocal cords, her weak Loud Cry wrapped in Xing Hui crashing against the Image.
The suspended Colored Glass responded with a gathering sound, forming a curled figure at the center of the Northern Star Map.
Aelia staggered back two steps.
It was a Purple Robed Woman caressing her Pregnant Belly, with dark shadows resembling Dragon Scales entwined in her hair, echoing with the hidden red dragon reverse scales of her companion in a secret chamber.
"San Madam, do not touch the Star Map!" Her elder brother's Astrology Staff suddenly interposed between Aelia and the illusion. The Moonstone reflected his cursed leg's winding Curse Pattern. "Sister, forcing Resonance Geomancy will harm Shen Hun; you should..."
"San Madam?" Aelia laughed bitterly as she broke off a silver chain from her Neck. The Ice Crystal Pendant struck against the stone slab, creating an Azure Blue Spark. "So everyone in this Magic Castle knows, yet I alone guard this ridiculous title?"
Luna's Silver Eyes suddenly constricted.
Her mother's uncontrolled magic surged wildly into Luna's collarbone where Yue Wen resided, memories of a Former Great Mage roiling in her Mind Sea—if she could not guide Aelia to discover the truth now, when the Shadow Dragon Clan launched their surprise attack three days later, Second Brother would lose his sight to Long Flame while covering everyone's escape.
"Ah—" The infant suddenly erupted into a long Qing Yue cry, and the suspended Colored Glass shattered explosively.
Countless fragments wrapped around the Memory Frame, piercing Aelia. Leonard's gentle touch on Leonard's Concubine's Pregnant Belly in the Dragon Lair; the Gu Worm swimming in the Antidote handed over by Second Brother's close friend; the misleading Star Map on the wall of Brother San's Cultivation Room...
"Luna!" Aelia's Seven Orifices seeped Silver Blood, yet she remained oblivious. The Mage's robe fluttered without wind. "These are Leonard's Last Night... you have been... since the moment you were born..."
The infant's tiny, hot hands pressed against her tear-streaked face.
Moonlight poured through the Dome Crack, forming a flowing silver bridge between mother and daughter.
Aelia's Wedding Ring cracked inch by inch in the Silver Light, revealing the hidden Dragon Language Contract within—this was not a vow of love but a curse that used her Ice Crystal Bloodline to nurture the Shadow Dragon Clan.
A roar echoed from deep within the Magic Castle as the barrier collapsed.
Leonard burst into the hall wrapped in Long Flame, just as he witnessed Aelia shatter her Wedding Ring.
The Dark Red reverse scale slipped from his collar, perfectly aligning with the scales on the neck of the woman in purple from his illusion, adorned with a Jade Pendant.
"Let me explain!" Lord swung his staff, shattering the silver bridge, but Long Flame twisted bizarrely upon touching Aelia. "That woman is merely a sacrificial offering to nurture the dragon clan; once Lucius comes of age..."
"Feeding the Shadow Dragon Clan with one's own blood and flesh is what you call glory?" Aelia thrust Luna into the arms of the arriving Qin Si, ice crystals forming a blood-stained blade in her palm. "Do you know that Lucius sent Dragon's Breath Grass mixed with Heart-Eating Gu last night?"
Luna struggled to turn her head in the maid's embrace.
Second Brother was smashing three bottles of Magic Potion against Zhen Chan's Dome, as images of the Shadow Dragon Clan emerging from Zi Wu clawed at the barrier, overlapping with Leonard's Last Night when he had been controlled by Gu Worm to open the city gates.
The baby's cry suddenly pierced like an alarm, and Eldest Brother's Astrology Staff struck into the Leyline Node.
"The Neutralizer requires four elemental catalysts." Brother San appeared at some point around the Emerald Corridor Turn Corner, holding the genuine Star Map that had been swapped. "But Lucius retrieved Ice Crystal Shards..."
Before he could finish speaking, the entire Magic Castle was uprooted.
In the violent tremors, Luna saw Hei Chao surging deep within Geomancy—not the Shadow Dragon Clan at all, but Chaos Power that devoured the original ending of the book.
The Yin Yan suddenly erupted from Yue Wen at the infant’s collarbone, and a prophecy witnessed before her past life’s fall exploded in her Mind Sea: when Ice Crystal Bloodline and Long Flame Contract coexisted, the cursed Star Trail would...
"Sister!"
The elder brother's exclamation was drowned out by the earth-shattering Collapse Sound.
The last thing Luna saw of Leonard's Last Night was Aelia severing her connection to Geomancy with the Ice Crystal Chain, and Leonard being engulfed by the backlash of the Long Flame, consumed by the Residual Shadow.
The infant Silver White's Pupil gradually dulled, and in a daze, she caught a glimpse of the Curse Pattern on her elder brother's lame leg crawling toward his Heart.
As the Magic Castle fell into the Geomancy rift of Shan Na, Luna clutched Aelia's scattered silver hair and fell into a deep slumber.
The Yue Wen at the infant's Collarbone had faded to near transparency, but close to the Heart, a Curse Black Pattern quietly emerged, mirroring that on her elder brother's lame leg.
The Magic Castle floated in the Geomancy rift while Luna curled up in the Crystal Cradle, ice crystals forming on her Silver White eyelashes.
The chaotic Tide penetrated the barrier, etching spider web-like cracks into the Yue Wen at her Collarbone, as memories of the Former Great Mage seeped into reality through the Ice Cracks.
"Sister's magic is dissipating!" The elder brother thrust his Astrology Staff into the Crystal floor, and suddenly, a sharp pain shot through the Curse Pattern on his lame leg.
He realized that those Black Veins were flowing along Xing Hui toward the Cradle, and Luna's newly formed black markings on her Heart resonated subtly with his own curse.
In the chaos, Luna caught her elder brother's cry and used her last Awareness to stir the stars in her memory.
Floating fragments of Colored Window suddenly converged, forming a Purification Array in the Palace Dome that she had seen in a past life—the center of the Seven-pointed Star was unmistakably marked by the Moonstone atop her elder brother's Astrology Staff.
"The Earth Vein Tide fluctuates every seven minutes." The elder brother trembled as he touched the Star Map in mid-air; warmth long forgotten surged through his lame leg. "Sister is demonstrating how to deal with curses using Star Trail!" He grabbed his Astrology Staff and rushed toward the Crystal terrace, where Zhang Jian's Moonstone collided with the chaotic Tide, sparking Emerald Color flames.
Second Brother crouched in a corner of the Potion Room, his In Hand Liuli Bottle reflecting his dear friend's tearful eyes at their farewell.
The potion inside glimmered with an eerie Purple Light, reminiscent of that cup mixed with Gu Worm from Three Days Ago labeled Antidote.
Suddenly, the chaotic Tide overturned the Potion Rack, and from the shattered glass shards rose a silver Blue Mist.
"This is..." Second Brother's Pupil contracted.
In the mist, Emerging Luna created an illusion with magic: the Dragon Scale Pattern embroidered on the sleeves of his best friend was made of the same material as the Reverse Scale Pendant on Lucius Hair Tips. The gates of his memory burst open. Before he was seriously injured and passed out that night, he clearly heard Lucius say "Dragon's Breath Grass is ready." The baby's Loud Cry penetrated through the layers of barriers. Second Brother stood up suddenly, and the Magic Potion cabinet collapsed, revealing the Grimoire sealed by Ankeli with Dragon Blood. When he saw the record that "Heart-Eating Gu requires Caster's reverse scale as a guide", the wound on his Palm cut by Liuli Fragments suddenly blossomed with Yin Mang——Luna actually hid the Starry Mark that could break the curse in his blood. Brother San's Cultivation Room was tilting under the Geomancy wash, and the fake Star Map on the wall was falling. He grabbed the Window Lattice in vain, watching the Star Trail he copied in Twenty Years being swallowed by chaos. A baby Yin Ling-like laughter suddenly exploded in his ears, and the real "Northern Star Map" Astrolabe flew out of the Dark Cabinet, and every star turned into Luna's shining Silver Eyes. "The elemental induction is misaligned because the reference object is offset!" Brother San tore the fake apart like crazy, and the stars on the original automatically connected into the shape of Sagittarius. When he trembled and operated the magic power on the Star Map, the Geomancy cracks actually projected clear elements Guang Liu - those Dark Element he had been looking for, turned out to be hidden on the opposite side of the Light Element. Aelia leaned on the Crystal throne, watching the Magic Radiance on her three sons. Her broken Ice Crystal Chain was still bleeding, but what made her even more nervous was Luna's increasingly transparent body - every time the baby channeled the Starlight Power, the dark lines in the Heart deepened. "Madam, Young Miss's body temperature is dropping." Qin Si placed the Si Pa soaked in warm water on Luna's forehead, and was shocked to find that the handkerchief instantly froze. She looked at Aelia's almost transparent Fingertip, and finally understood why the owner had pressed her hand on the Geomancy crack all night - this Mother was using the Ice Crystal Bloodline to bear the erosion of chaos for her children. Luna floated in the abyss of Awareness, and the memories of her past life and the present Leonard's Last Night intertwined into a web. She saw her eldest brother embedding the Moonstone into the Leyline Node, and the curse on his lame leg disappeared like the tide; Second Brother was using the Dragon BloodGrimoireRefiningcurse-removing potion to turn into the Milky Way to extinguish the Gu Worm planted by Lucius; Brother San was manipulating the newly comprehended Dark Element to re-anchor the tilted Magic Castle on the Star Trail. "Not enough..." The baby clenched his fist without Awareness, and Yue Wen at the Collarbone suddenly burst out with Strong Light.
The entire Magic Castle resonated with a hum as Leonard's Sword suddenly emitted a sound, and Aelia's broken Ice Crystal Chain began to regenerate.
As the last crack sealed, the black markings on Luna Heart had spread into a complete Star Trail Curse Totem.
Qin Si held the suddenly quiet baby, feeling at a loss.
She watched as Aelia staggered to the Cradle, her master's Hair Tips crystallized in ice mixed with Tears falling down.
Moonlight pierced through the chaotic Tide, illuminating the mark on Luna Heart that was identical to her elder brother's past curse, while the three young masters who had resolved the crisis remained oblivious.
From deep within the Geomancy fissure came the distant Longyin. Aelia suddenly looked up, her Ice Blue Eyes igniting with immense fury.
She caressed Luna's burning forehead, her Fingertip lingering for a moment on the baby's Heart's Curse Totem before she abruptly turned and grabbed the Ice Crystal Longsword.
As the blade sliced through the air with a Screeching sound, Qin Si saw blood pearls spilling from her master's lips, shimmering with the scales of the Shadow Dragon Clan.
The Ice Crystal Lamp in the East Wing Corridor of Magic Castle flickered ominously. Qin Si gripped the Silver Tray and moved through the shadows; as the Emerald Color maid's Skirt brushed against the wall, Dragon Blood seeping from Ankeli immediately corroded a Scorch Mark into it.
She stared at Aelia's untouched Evening Primrose Tea in the tray; in its reflection, her reddened Eye Socket overlapped with that of a girl who had knelt in the snow years ago, rescued by her lady back to Magic Castle.
"Sister Qian Si!" A Familiar suddenly burst around the Turn Corner, knocking over the tray and shattering tea cups, awakening the lurking shadow Dragon Soul within the mural.
The maid glared at the chaos around her and suddenly became fierce; an ice spike formed at her Fingertip precisely pierced through the Dragon Soul's Seven Inches—this was a killing move she had secretly learned from Aelia over Twenty Years.
As the seventh wisp of black smoke from Dragon Soul dissipated, Qin Si found Ankeli's secret chamber mechanism.
She looked at Leonard's Family Crest on the gears with a cold smile, using Iris from her hair to stain Aelia's tears and corrode the finely crafted Lock Core.
In an instant, as the secret chamber opened, dozens of Magic Letters marked with Dragon Scales surged out, with the latest one still bearing a Blood Curse from where it had been kissed by a Purple Robed Woman.
"Feed my son's Heart's Blood to the dragon race?" Qin Si pressed the Magic Letter against her violently rising chest, Ailya's White Nails digging five finger holes into the Parchment.
Suddenly, she recalled Three Days Ago when Lucius had delivered Dragon's Breath Grass; the reverse scale pattern embroidered on young master's cuff matched perfectly with those marks on these Magic Letters.
At the same time, the Astrology Platform atop the West Tower was shrouded in torrential rain.
Lucius knelt before Luna's Crystal Cradle, the hem of his black robe soaked with the chaotic tide that surged up from the Geomancy fissures.
He trembled as he unfastened the Reverse Scale Pendant, the Jade Pendant pulling away from his skin, and suddenly, blood began to seep from the Dragon Scale Pattern hidden at his collarbone.
"You knew all along?" The Magic Potion Pestle of Second Brother pressed against his back, the tip of the Emerald Pestle searing with Silver Star Grass and Blue Blood Fern Juice, causing his black robe to hiss.
Three days ago, it was this very pair of hands that had delivered a potion laced with Gu Worms; now they turned pale and mottled from overexertion.
"Father said this is the Brand of Honor." Lucius tossed the Reverse Scale Pendant into the Purification Array surrounding the Cradle. The baby’s collarbone glowed with Yue Wen, "Until this morning when I saw Sister recreate Leonard's Last Night with Starlight Power..." He suddenly ripped open his garment, revealing a scar the size of a bowl festering beneath the Dragon Scale Pattern—left by Leonard during their "training" last year.
In the chaos, Luna sensed a pure dragon aura, and a previously altered chapter from her past life suddenly became clear.
Struggling to open her eyes, she saw the floating Reverse Scale Pendant aligning with Brother San's newly drawn Star Map. The Hei Xue seeping from Lucius’s wound coalesced into a Blood Arrow within the array, pointing directly to the depths of the Magic Castle Cellar where the Dragon Lair Coordinate lay.
"Sister is guiding us!" Brother San's exclamation startled Bing Ling from above.
His In Hand Star Map suddenly folded itself into a Juling Magic Cube. The side that had never fit together for twenty years now displayed a totem identical to Lucius's wound.
The Emerald Pestle of Second Brother clattered to the ground as he finally recognized how perfectly aligned his dear friend's Dragon Scale Pattern was with that of the Juling Magic Cube.
The Magic Castle Hall was now filled with whispers from Servants.
When Aelia appeared at the top of the Spiral Staircase, dragging her Ice Crystal Longsword, the commotion in the crowd abruptly fell into silence.
Her black robe faintly revealed her calves wrapped in cursed bandages; each step left bloody Bing Hua imprints on the Crystal Ground.
"Madam!" Cook suddenly lunged forward to grasp her robe's hem. "The Dragon's Breath Grass in the East Wing storeroom..." An Old Woman opened her palm to reveal several blackened herbs, their scale-like patterns on the underside of their leaves identical to what Lucius had delivered as "supplements" yesterday.
Aelia's Sword Tip traced an Ice Blue arc across the Ground, instantly turning all Dragon's Breath Grass to Ashes.
Amidst the falling ash, she caught sight of Qin Si rushing in from the East Wing. The dust on her Personal Maid's Skirt mingled with Nightshade Pollen commonly used by the Purple Robed Woman.
"Go to the Cellar." Aelia suddenly threw the Ice Crystal Sword to Qin Si and bent down to pick up Luna.
As the infant's feverish forehead pressed against her neck where the Curse Mark lay, memories altered by Leonard surged violently—on the wedding night twenty years ago, it was not her drunken intrusion into forbidden grounds, but rather someone had used Dragon's Breath Grass to cloud her mind.
Amidst the shattering roar of the Cellar's seal, Luna's Silver Eyes suddenly reflected a shocking scene from Leonard's Last Night: Lucius, who should have died under the Long Flame in the Original, was now infusing energy into Brother San's Star Map with the Reverse Scale Pendant; Second Brother, who should have been controlled by Gu Worm, was unexpectedly concocting an Antidote in the Potion Room; and Qin Si, who had been utterly devoted to Leonard in the original story, was now wielding the Ice Crystal Sword to stab at the Dragon Cave Seal!
"Don't..." Luna let out a faint whisper, but Aelia had already swung her sword down.
The shattering seal ignited Long Flame, illuminating the scene within the cave: hundreds of dragon eggs inscribed with the names of Magic Castle Heirs were writhing, their shells displaying Blood Veins identical to those on the inner side of Leonard's Wedding Ring.
The arriving crowd stood frozen in the Heat Wave of Long Flame.
Suddenly, Eldest Brother's Astrology Staff emitted a sharp cry, and the Staff Tip Moonstone revealed a horrifying sight—within each dragon egg curled shadowy forms resembling infants, and on the central egg shell emerged a totem merging Luna's Yue Wen with the Curse Black Pattern!
"So it turns out the Starfall Curse is a two-way Brand." Aelia's cold laughter shook loose ice shards from the cave ceiling as she caressed Luna's feverish Yue Wen. "When the cursed begin to resist, the Caster becomes the curse itself."
Luna struggled to turn her head in her Mother's arms and saw Lucius pressing the Reverse Scale Pendant against the surface of a dragon egg.
As the Jade Pendant touched the totem of Luna on the egg shell, the entire Dragon Lair's ground suddenly began to collapse, and from deep within Geomancy fissures came countless wails of Dragon Souls.
In Luna's Silver Eyes, Leonard's Last Night shifted once more: this time it was no longer Original plot but new Fate Lines extending from everyone, weaving an unknown Star Trail amidst chaos.
The Magic Castle trembled violently and began to descend again as Luna clutched Ailya's Silver Hair and fell into a deep slumber.
In the chaotic abyss, she vaguely saw three brothers who had lifted their curses entwined with silver Fate Lines, while Lucius and Qin Si's lines suddenly began to intertwine into a cocoon—something that had never appeared in the Original: a Causal Vortex.
When the last flicker of Long Flame extinguished, Aelia picked up a charred fragment of a Magic Letter deep within the Dragon Lair.
On the scorched Contract Fragment inscribed with Dragon Language, beside her personally forged Ice Crystal Mark, there emerged a small handprint from Luna's infancy devoid of Awareness.
Moonlight filtered through Geomancy fissures onto this mark that fused mother and daughter's Bloodline, faintly reflecting an army of Shadow Dragon Clan gathering high above.
As Blood Moonlight soaked into Glorious Demon Fortress' Castle Spire, Aelia’s hand clutching the Phantom Crystal trembled.
In the crystal, a blurry figure of Leonard embraced the waist of the Gold-Haired Woman, while the Obsidian Ring that should have belonged to the Lady of the Fortress adorned her ring finger.
"Mother..." Luna patted the swaddling with her chubby palm, light gold magic dots spilling from Mei Xin.
Her body, just a year old, limited the Great Mage's power, but it was enough for Aelia to understand baby language: "Father hid three mixed-blood bastards at 13 Oak Lane in the west of the city."
Suddenly, owls outside took flight in alarm. Aelia's emerald-colored pupils reflected the image of her husband gently caressing his lover's pregnant belly, and she was suddenly reminded of Leonard kneeling in the rose garden twenty years ago to propose.
The gilded candelabra erupted with sparks. As she turned, her silver hair moved as if stirred by an unseen wind, and dark patterns on her magic robe seemed to writhe like living creatures.
"Qin Si, please bring Third Young Master Lucius to look after the young lady." The Lady of the Fortress's voice was as cold as ice. The head maid, terrified, noticed that the necklace of curses that had silenced her neck for twenty years began to heat up—it was a murderous magic artifact passed down through the Aelia family.
From deep within the cellar came the dull sound of rattling chains. Luna was held in Lucius's arms, staring at Brother San's pale fingers where a black dragon tattoo flickered in and out of view.
In the original story, this seemingly frail brother was actually Leonard's illegitimate child with a Dark Elf. At this moment, his lullaby for the child concealed a necromancy spell.
"Brother San is silly." Luna deliberately blew bubbles, using her magic to shatter a sheepskin scroll in the corner that recorded Ankeli's forbidden technique.
Lucius trembled all over. Looking at the child's clear blue eyes, he suddenly felt the dark magic lying dormant in his bloodline begin to boil uncontrollably.
The sound of shattering porcelain echoed from the magic training ground.
The eldest brother's wheelchair got stuck in the center of a shattered fire element magic array, and a backlash curse was gnawing away at his last remnants of sanity.
In the original story, this genius fire mage was supposed to go completely mad today, but at that moment, Luna's swaddling suddenly rolled off the platform.
"Big Brother, hold me!" Luna concentrated all her magic into a demon-slaying needle and pierced it into Mei Xin.
The eldest brother screamed as he spat out black blood; his wheelchair turned to ashes in the flames. Yet he trembled and stood up—his twin legs, corroded by curses for ten years, miraculously regrew flesh and blood.
As Second Brother was pushed into a poisonous fog swamp by his close friend, Luna was nibbling on a teething biscuit while resting on Qin Si's shoulder.
At this moment, Second Brother would be tricked into losing his soul by his Alchemist friend, but suddenly a Rainbow Bridge rose from the swamp. Luna used her saliva to draw on the swaddled Luna's Doodle, transforming it into the True Eye, which exposed the lies of the betrayer without any place to hide.
"Why..." Second Brother crushed the poison Crystal that his close friend had secretly given him, staring at the writhing Soul Devouring Insect inside.
His Healer's Badge at the Waist suddenly burst forth with holy light, and the misdirected Healing Magic finally found its rightful target—his rotting heart that had suffered for three years.
As the Midnight Bell tolled, Leonard's Ailya's Roar shattered half of the banquet hall.
In front of the Eight Elders, Aelia threw the illegitimate children's Bloodline Test Report in her husband's face.
Luna was covered by Lucius's hand over her eyes, yet she secretly used her magical tendrils to peek at the gradually Long Transformation of the skin beneath Lord's black robe—secrets that Original had never revealed were beginning to surface.
"Do you think you can shake Lord's position?" Leonard wiped away the Dragon Blood from the corner of his mouth, his cold gaze sweeping over Lucius, who was holding Luna.
Aelia sneered as she waved her wand; the magic swirling around her three sons unexpectedly formed a long-lost Dragon Slayer Formation, with Luna's saliva-covered Teething Biscuit floating at its center.
The starry sky of the Magic Castle Dome began to distort as Luna looked at her forcibly altered Fate Line and suddenly sneezed in Lucius's arms.
At this moment, the Original villain gently wiped away the Honey Biscuit Crumbs from her mouth, but the lingering Dark Magic on his Fingertip caused the Prophecy Crystal Ball to explode miles away.
