"This is the Light Reversal Technique produced by the Resonance of Eternal Night Star Sand and Thorned Rose," Luna said, tiptoeing to stuff the last Liuli Bottle into Brother San's pocket, which was stained with charred ash. The Crystal Shoe crunched over the Magic Firefly Grass that had sprouted from the cracks in the Floor Tile Gap. "In Brother San's Alchemy Workshop ruins, there lies a Star Chart Device that can repair the array for my elder brother."
Brother San gripped the Wheelchair Armrest tightly, the Dragon Head Engraving forged from Xuan Tie pressing uncomfortably against his palm.
The leg injury caused by the backlash of the Magic Circle ten years ago suddenly throbbed with pain—every time he attempted to touch the Eternal Night Palace's Forbidden Technique, his Twin Legs felt as if they were being bitten by raging flames.
"How does Xiao Luna know what's in my Alchemical Furnace..." Brother San's words trailed off abruptly. His right hand, marked with Burn Scars, moved towards the Bronze Gear hanging around his neck.
Last night, when strange movements were heard from beneath the Workshop, this ancestral Alchemist Badge indeed flashed with a Red Glow reminiscent of Star Sand.
Luna suddenly yanked at Second Brother's waist decoration, a Secret Silver Chain, her fingers stained with Rose Thorn quickly sketching at the Lock.
Moonlight spilled through the archway onto her still-chubby Luna face, accentuating her deep Violet Pupils. "The Thorn Maze where Second Brother is trapped, on the Eighth Layer, hides an Ice Crystal Orchid that can lift my dear friend's curse—but it requires Master Lucius's Moonlight Birthmark on the back of his neck as a key."
Clang!
The Copper Astrolabe held by Qin Si suddenly fell, rolling to the side of the Wheelchair and spilling half a Phoenix Tail Feather from its cracked shell.
The Maid stared at the Blood Pearl solidified at the tip of the feather and suddenly recalled how her lady always covered her Collarbone with Pearl Powder while changing—where tears would flow from a Phoenix Tattoo, resembling the Star Trail that collapsed when the Old Lord died twenty years ago in the Eternal Night Palace.
"Prove it to me." Brother San suddenly maneuvered his Wheelchair over the Astrolabe fragments on the ground, causing sparks of Dark Red fire to erupt as Xuan Tie Axle scraped against Lapis Lazuli Tiles.
He removed the Shadow Mink Scarf wrapped around his neck, revealing a throat marked with Curse and Ke Hen: "If you can repair my incomplete 'Eternal Night Dirge' array..."
Luna pressed her finger, stained with Star Sand, against Brother San's Adam's Apple where a Curse had left a gap and began humming a Lullaby that Aelia used to sing to soothe him to sleep.
In the Emerald Courtyard, twelve Moonlight Fountains suddenly reversed their flow, swirling with Star Sand as the Water Mist above them coalesced into a fragmented Hexagram pattern.
Second Brother's Thorn Pocket Watch snapped open with a bang, and the Fire Sprite trapped within its dial broke free, slipping through the Water Mist and Star Trail into the Curse lodged in Eldest Brother's throat.
The mottled Dragon Head Engraving on the Wheelchair Armrest began to glow in sequence, as Eldest Brother's pale fingertip exuded the long-lost essence of Frost Magic from ten years ago.
"Oh my!" Brother San exclaimed as his Alchemist Badge suddenly scorched the Cloth. In a flurry, he pulled out a Bronze Gear that fit perfectly with the Star Trail in the air.
The vibrations from below the Workshop grew stronger, as Azure Starlight pierced through three layers of granite, casting a cracked Star Chart Device in Holographic Projection against the Fountain Water Curtain.
Aelia struck her Gilded Teaspoon heavily against the rim of her Bone China Cup, watching her fragmented reflection ripple in the red tea.
Qin Si's Pearl Tassel Shoulder Ornament, arranged that morning, now felt like Thorns wrapped around her neck—when Leonard had brought her favorite Nightingale Rose Candy from Leonard's Concubine, the scent of Violet Perfume was identical to what she had smelled on the night she miscarried three years ago.
"Replace the Starlight Honey stored in the Eternal Night Palace with regular Acacia Honey." The lady used a Silver Clip to set aside her husband's Mistress's preferred Blood Moon Cookies, her fingertip brushing against her Clavicle Tattoo and catching a cold tear.
As Qin Si entered with the replacement tea set, she suddenly grasped the maid's wrist: "Have the small kitchen add two more spoons of Elderflower Sedative to Lucius's Almond Milk."
In the Magic Castle corridor at noon, the sound of crystal chandeliers swaying echoed as Leonard's Lacquered Riding Boots shattered the Sacred Beast Pattern cast by Colored Glass.
The woman following him was wrapped in a Morning Mist Robe woven from Silk; as she walked, falling Violet Pollen made the breaths of the Armored Guards on either side grow heavy.
"My dear, your favorite Emerald Honeydew." As Aelia stood up, she accidentally pulled down an Ice Crystal Lily of the Valley from the edge of the Tablecloth, watching her husband pour tea for Leonard's Concubine.
The Phoenix Tail Feather Necklace around her neck glimmered painfully against her eye socket—that was the dowry jewelry she had lost on her naming day last year.
Luna stood on tiptoe, inserting the last piece of Star Sand into Brother San's gear groove, when she suddenly turned her gaze towards the banquet hall.
Rose Thorn trembled in her hair, forming the runes for Warning, while the Eternal Night Palace Key left a red mark shaped like a phoenix on her palm.
The sound of Brother Wheelchair rolling over the Peacock Stone Tiles overlapped with a memory of Leonard's Last Night—back in her previous life, it was at this very tea party that Aelia's Phoenix Tattoo had shed its first drop of blood.
"It’s time to try Sister Qian Si’s Cranberry Scone," Luna said, tugging on Second Brother's chain as they walked towards the archway. The Yin Ling on Baby Shoes startled the Deathbird resting on the Gargoyle's wings.
As the last crow's caw faded around the corner of the Emerald Corridor, a sudden sharp sound of a Crystal Cup shattering echoed from the banquet hall, mixed with Lucius's hoarse exclamation during his voice change.
Yin Ling’s soft chime sliced through the stagnant air as Luna pulled Second Brother’s Secret Silver Chain and stepped into the banquet hall.
The Gilded Dome's crystal chandelier dimmed by three degrees, and Brother Wheelchair’s movement over the Malachite inlaid Peacock Stone Tiles startled the Shadow Beast lurking within the mural.
"Father." Brother San deliberately pressed his soot-stained Alchemical Gloves against the embroidered gold tablecloth, twisting a Bronze Gear in a provocative arc with his palm. "This lady’s Morning Mist Robe is about to be melted by Starlight Honey."
The Phoenix Tail Feather Necklace around Leonard's Concubine's neck trembled in response, while Aelia accidentally knocked over her Emerald Honeydew, which began to flow along the tablecloth’s gold thread towards her sleeve.
Luna tiptoed to push the Cranberry Scone towards Leonard's Concubine; crumbs of creamy butter fell into the Tea Soup’s Shan Na, causing her Spider Silk Morning Mist Robe to suddenly bloom with intricate ice cracks.
Leonard’s Lacquered Riding Boots crushed the rolling Ruby Cufflinks. "When did hospitality at the Eternal Night Palace become so rude?" he said, his waist adorned with Leonard's Sword, its Dragon Crystal Hilt oozing dark red flow as the Eternal Night Curse sealed by Old Lord twenty years ago began to stir restlessly.
"Father is right to teach." Second Brother suddenly drew out his Secret Silver Chain, covered in runes drawn by Luna. The Fire Sprite that popped out of his Thorn Pocket Watch spiraled around Leonard's Concubine. "Just like you taught three years ago—" he flicked his fingertip, and the sprite suddenly lunged at the necklace around the woman’s neck. "A stolen Phoenix Feather fears Eternal Night Fire most."
In Qian Jiao’s voice, Aelia’s tattoo on her collarbone suddenly reflected an icy blue light.
The cracked Phoenix Tail Feather Necklace fell into the Tea Soup, and from the rising mist emerged the collapsed Star Chart of the Eternal Night Palace—exactly as prophesied in blood by the Old Lord before his death.
"Enough!" Leonard's Jian Qiao suddenly exploded, twelve Amethyst Nails piercing the Ground to form a Binding Array.
The Shadow Beast in the mural opened its crimson eyes, and the Rose Thorn in Luna's hair suddenly grew wildly, weaving a Bloodthorn net above everyone's heads.
Amidst the splintered shards of the Crystal Chandelier, Lucius crashed into the fray, holding half a piece of Almond Jelly.
The Moonlight Birthmark on the back of the boy's neck flickered through his collar, and the Ice Crystal Orchid trapped within Second Brother's Pocket Watch instantly bloomed.
In the frozen time and space, only Luna could move her Eye—she saw that the Long Jing of Leonard's sword hilt was devouring the life force of Leonard's Concubine.
"Brother Lucius's Milk Jelly is about to melt," Luna suddenly leaped into the boy's arms, her small hand dusted with Star Sand slapping heavily against his nape.
The moment the Moonlight Birthmark branded the Ice Crystal Orchid, twenty Star Trails shot from the direction of the Eternal Night Palace into the Banquet Hall, shattering Leonard's Binding Array.
The Dragon Head Engraving on Big Brother's Wheelchair suddenly spewed frost, freezing the Shadow Beast's claws along the cracks of the Peacock Stone Tiles; Brother San's Bronze Gear flew automatically into the Chandelier Base, restarting the long-dormant Top-Level Protective Magic; Aelia's Blood Pearl overflowed from her tattoo, forming into a phoenix shape that carried Leonard's Concubine's fallen necklace into the Star Trail.
"Try Sister Qian Si's freshly made Fairy Herb Paste," Luna said as she pulled out a Jade Box containing seven luminous Healing Ointments resonating with Lucius and Luna.
As she distributed three of them to her Brothers, no one noticed Qin Si staring at the shallow Pupil of the medicine box—clearly mixed within was weeping Phoenix Blood.
