The last Crystal Lamp Fragment fell softly in the moonlight as Aelia stepped over the broken wing of the Ice Sculpture Swan, her Silver Gray Skirt swaying gently.
Luna was held upright by Qin Si, who was patting her back for a Lactation Burp. The chubby little hand of the baby suddenly grasped the Moonstone Liu Su that hung from Foster Mother's hair.
"Yi Ya!" A bubble of silver light drooled from the baby's mouth, floating to Aelia's nose and reflecting the half-hidden Emerald Wine Jar in the Cellar Mural.
The Magic Rune, recently cleansed by Purifying Power three days ago, was now entwined with a Pale Golden Mist shaped like a Pan Peach.
Aelia's Pearl Armor pressed into Qin Si's shoulder. "The Spring God Feast Painting on the West Wall of the third layer of the Cellar—Luna mentioned that jar sealed by Father..." Before she could finish, the baby suddenly yanked her waist, causing an Agate Bead to roll toward Lucius, who was busy cleaning up the mess.
"Third Young Master Lucius, watch out!" Qin Si hurried to chase after the bouncing bead, but Xiu Xie stepped on the silver thread that Luna had previously spit out.
Those fragments of Defense Formation that should have dissipated suddenly wrapped around the Agate Bead, coalescing into a Blood Arrow pointing towards the Cellar.
Lucius knelt on one knee to catch the searing Blood Arrow, and a Peach Blossom Mark emerged on his palm, identical to that in the mural.
He gazed at the shattered Emerald Box behind the Pillar—where Father and Mistress’s signature Nightingale Flower and Blue Blood Fern Juice were seeping out.
"Mother, this might be left by grandfather..." The young man’s words were cut short as Aelia tore off her Star Moon Necklace and pressed it into his palm.
The Sapphire adorned with their Family Crest suddenly transformed into a three-dimensional map, where seven Pan Peach-shaped Light Spots flickered in some part of the Cellar.
Luna let out a sharp Loud Cry, and Qin Si frantically shook the swaddled baby.
The Crystal Baby Bottle knocked over by the infant splashed milk onto Lucius's clothes, with Milky White Liquid winding across the Ground to form a Warning symbol.
Aelia's pupils constricted; this was the Viper Pattern used by her husband Leonard's Concubine when she poisoned her spirit pet three years ago!
"Bring along Laurel Blossom Powder." The Lady of the Fortress tucked a Mechanical Bird hidden in an Amethyst Hairpin into her son's collar. As her fingertip brushed against his nape, she quietly inscribed an Anti-Scrying Spell. "When passing through the Image Room, remember to avoid that new piece titled Snow Night Demon Hunter."
Qin Si bowed her head to adjust Luna's Embroidered Golden Swaddling while stealing glances at the three-dimensional map reflected by the remains of the crystal lamp.
As she caught sight of a Light Spot overlapping with the markings of the kitchen's secret passage, the Transmission Beetle sleeping within the Moonstone Earrings suddenly trembled its Wings.
The cold wind from the Cellar lifted Lucius's dark green cloak as he turned the Peach Branch depicted on the mural, following the hints given by his Mother.
The Bronze Wine Jar cracked open with a sound resembling a Spider Web pattern, but instead of Wine Liquid, a Purple Smoke mixed with Xing Xu seeped from the bottom of the jar.
"Just as I thought, there’s a mechanism." The young man scattered Laurel Blossom Powder, and nine paths instantly materialized within the smoke.
Just as he was about to step onto the stone slab marked with the Family Crest, Luna's Silver Bell, caught during the full moon's Zhua Zhou, unexpectedly rolled out of his pocket, clanging as it struck against a moss-covered path in the opposite direction.
In the shadows, Qin Si quickly covered her mouth to stifle her gasp. The Jade Bracelet on her Wrist suddenly heated up—this was the "Loyalty Gift" bestowed by Leonard last month.
When the seventh Pan Peach Light Spot illuminated the wall, a Black Water Thorn with Barbs suddenly emerged from a gap in the Floor Tile.
"Third Young Master Lucius, be careful!" Qin Si could no longer afford to hide. She threw a Silver Tea Tray to deflect the Thorn that was lunging at Lucius.
As the Gilded Tray corroded in an instant, her Maid Token at her Waist suddenly floated up, revealing a Crescent Light Spot similar to Luna's.
Lucius swiftly tossed the Silver Bell towards Qian Jiao's maid. "Catch it! This belongs to Luna..."
His words were abruptly interrupted by a collapsing mural, and shards of the wine jar unexpectedly reformed mid-air into the Celestial Chart of the Southern Kingdom's Stargazing Platform.
Aelia's Mechanical Bird suddenly broke through the Cellar's barrier, dropping a Peach Pit marked with Tooth Marks into Luna's arms.
The baby immediately flailed excitedly to gnaw on it but was stopped by her Foster Mother who pinched her tiny hand. "Be good, this is your great-grandfather's contract with the elf clan..."
From deep within the Underground came a roar as chains snapped, and everyone’s Pocket Watch Pointer spun counterclockwise simultaneously.
Luna suddenly spat out Colorful Bubbles towards the Spring God Feast Painting, and the eyes of the serving girl holding wine in the painting abruptly turned towards the dark door.
As Lucius's hand touched the cold crescent-shaped groove of the door knocker, the jade bracelet on Qin Si's wrist suddenly cracked with fine lines.
The maid, Pretend, stumbled over the vines, her Ailya's white nails brushed against the hem of Third Young Master Lucius's flowing garment, stained with balsam juice.
The loud cry of a baby, carrying the fragrance of milk, pierced through the stone walls, while Aelia's handkerchief, embroidered with a high-level protective spell, burned to ashes in his palm.
Somewhere in the cellar, the crisp sound of millennium ice shattering echoed, and the moonlight abruptly turned blood red, casting a shadow marked with tooth marks before Lucius's boot tip.
Lucius's deerskin boots crushed the bioluminescent mycelium hidden beneath the moss, while laurel blossom powder floated into a light golden halo that enveloped him.
The celestial chart, reconfigured from the mural, cast diamond light spots on the stone wall. He removed the peach pit held by the mechanical bird and discovered that its kernel pattern perfectly matched the emblem on his mother's necklace.
"Click." As the young man embedded the peach pit into the groove on the back of the frame of Snow Night Demon Hunter, Qin Si's breath hidden behind a stone pillar suddenly became urgent.
The emerald bracelet on the maid's wrist, with ice cracks spreading across it, oozed black mist that quietly wrapped around Luna's silver bell that had fallen carelessly.
A black water thorn seeping from a gap in the floor tile suddenly changed direction, wrapping around the bell and striking towards Lucius's nape.
The anti-scrying spell at his nape suddenly glowed brightly; the thorn shattered into ice crystals half an inch from his skin—thanks to the northern frost mixed into Aelia's spell.
"Did Mother foresee even this?" Lucius mused as he rubbed his heated skin and suddenly pressed the mechanical bird's eye into Scorpio on the celestial chart.
With a whirring sound of gears turning, a silver crossbow from within the painting of Monster Hunter unexpectedly shot out a physical arrow that pierced through a moving stone slab just as Qin Si was about to step on it.
The maid hurriedly pulled back her toes stained with balsam juice as a transmission beetle inside her moonstone earrings suddenly emitted a laugh reminiscent of Leonard’s mistress: "Fool! The rose salt you spilled three days ago has long been replaced by Aelia with manifest sand." Only then did she realize that grains of salt clinging to her skirt reflected her distorted image.
From deep within the cellar came a muffled sound of stalactites breaking. Suddenly, Luna’s colorful bubbles adhered to Lucius’s sword hilt.
Following the light refracted by the bubbles, he saw fragments of a corroded gilded tea tray forming a blood arrow pointing towards a faintly visible hexagonal crystal column behind an icy wall.
"It turns out that Grandfather's Contract is hidden within the Ice Essence." He swung his sword, severing the Spider Web that entangled the Crystal Column. The strands, coated with Nightingale Flower and Blue Blood Fern Juice, ignited upon hitting the ground.
The flames illuminated the Ancient Scroll sealed within the ice wall, as the elf Iris transformed in the Heat Wave into the Guardian Spell taught by Mother.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Si threw the Silver Bell towards the Burning Spider Web, and suddenly, Luna's Tooth Mark inside the bell emitted a Blue Light.
What should have been consumed by flames erupted with Qing Ming, as Sound Wave shattered the Memory Crystal hidden beneath Ailya's White Nails—recording Leonard's secret meeting with Leonard's Concubine on Leonard's Last Night.
"Third Young Master Lucius, watch out above!" Luna suddenly issued a warning with a Loud Cry reminiscent of an Adult Witch.
As Lucius rolled to evade the falling ice spikes, a Crystal Pacifier flew from the swaddling and lodged itself in the Mechanism Gears.
A drooled Peach Pit rolled into a crack in the ice wall, causing the millennia-old Contract to unfold automatically.
Aelia's Mechanical Bird suddenly swooped down to peck at Qin Si's Moonstone Earrings, while a Transmission Beetle's Canary Wing fluttered down onto the Burning Silk.
The flames surged into Aelia's Xu Ying, and the Lady of the Fortress coldly regarded her maid: "Did you really think breaking the Jade Cup last month was an accident?
Luna's Defense Formation had already marked your Heart Rate."
The moonlight in the Cellar Dome suddenly regained its Silver White hue, as new bubbles expelled by Luna enveloped Qin Si's wrist, shattering her jade bracelet completely.
Unaware, the baby gnawed on the peach pit, leaving a glowing Tooth Mark from her Milk Tooth on the edge of the Contract—its shape perfectly matching the missing Sealing Rune from the Spring God Feast Painting.
