The Star Map of the Demon Prison Dome shimmered with an unusual Magic Radiance as Luna curled up in her Starlight Swaddle, the Dragon Crystal Fragment forming ice-blue streaks on Mei Xin's skin.
Suddenly, the blood from the melted Azure Bronze Beast Head door knocker flowed backward, wrapping around her ankles like two strings of bells. With each step she took on the Ice Surface, a Burning Rose Mark was imprinted beneath her feet.
"Father said the Demon Abyss holds the secret potion to counteract the backlash." Lucius wiped the corner of his mouth, stained with Dragon Blood, as the reverse scale on the hilt of his sword cut into his palm.
He gazed at the baby in the swaddle, laughing, unaware that a Dark Pattern was creeping up his neck—one that Leonard had drawn by hand three days ago as a Puppet Curse.
From the Underground of the Magic Castle came the muffled sound of gears grinding together, and eighteen Gargoyle Eyes simultaneously turned toward the Nursery.
Leonard stood on the Astrology Platform, crushing Wisteria Petals that had touched his daughter's swaddle into his Dragonhide Gloves. These petals had been soaked in Nightmare Beast Tears and were sewn into Luna's Anti-Magic Spider Silk Bib by Qin Si just last night.
"Third Young Master Lucius should go to Bing Yuan for his trial." He made a strangling gesture toward the Royal Guard lurking in the shadows, and suddenly, the Magic Dragon Relief on the wall came to life, snatching away the reverse scale from Lucius's Leonard's Sword.
As cracks appeared in the Nursery's Defensive Barrier, three blossoms of the Eternal Flower before Aelia's Dressing Mirror suddenly wilted.
Luna grasped Lucius's trembling fingers and bit into his palm with her Milk Tooth, leaving a Starry Pattern behind.
The nearly formed Puppet Curse twisted and burrowed into the Earth Rift, transforming into three Ouroboros that coiled around the Gargoyle's claws.
She pretended to reach for an ice crystal floating before her but instead flicked two pieces of Stardust into her brother's ear, embedding them with a Puppet Curse Brand.
"Brother, lift me high!" The baby voice’s call wrapped around Lucius like a Great Mage's Word Spirit Power, suddenly clearing his muddled pupils.
As he cradled the baby and leaped over the suddenly collapsing floor, he saw that what surged from the cracks was not Lava but rather a swarm of Soul-Eating Jellyfish raised by Father.
The vines of the Demon Abyss suddenly bloomed with Poison Spikes and Black Roses. Luna grabbed one of the flowers and stuffed it into her mouth, sucking on its nectar.
The sweet and sticky Blue Blood Fern Juice exploded on her tongue as she recalled Leonard's Last Night from three days ago—Qin Si was holding a Crystal Baby Bottle mixed with Wisteria Pollen, while Leonard was braiding her Golden Hair into the Curse Doll.
"I want a Ying Huo bug!" she suddenly pointed at the stone wall, and Lucius swung his sword towards the glowing spot with awareness.
Behind the illusion shattered by Jian Feng, the true Demon Cave Altar began to reveal itself.
Chains on twelve Obsidian Pillars dripped blood, each drop transforming into Qian Jiao's Raven that crashed into the Starry Swaddle.
Luna rolled out of her brother's arms, and the blood bell on her wrist suddenly emitted a Longyin.
The Murder of Crows shattered into a rain of feathers in the sound waves, and she took the opportunity to crawl towards the Bronze Urn at the center of the altar. Inside lay the Moonlight Butterfly Larva, capable of breaking the Puppet Curse—also a key item for Lucius’s dark transformation in the Original.
A strange noise of gears turning came from beneath the altar, and Luna quickly grabbed hold of the Swaddling Tie.
As Lucius chased after the Gold Thread tassel she had torn off, running to the Southeast Corner, the entire altar suddenly flipped.
Luna clutched the Bronze Urn as she fell towards the true core of the Demon Abyss, where a Soul Transfer Array had been drawn by Father over twenty years.
From the putrid Blood Mist emerged seven floating skull crystals. Luna kicked her short legs in mid-air, tracing a Beidou Track.
When the third crystal began spewing Poison Spiders, she finally felt the Dragon Crystal Fragment hidden within the Hidden Layer of her swaddling—secretly sewn in by Lady Aelia when it hatched, it was a Heart Shield Scale.
Suddenly, eighteen blood-red Shu Tong eyes opened in the dome of the Demon Abyss, and Luna tilted her head to spit out the nectar from her mouth.
Silver threads laced with venom surged from all directions, but upon reaching the Star Trail surrounding her, they abruptly changed course, pinning the lurking Soul-Eating Jellyfish against the rock wall.
As the infant Pink stepped over the corpse of the Jellyfish, a sharp sound echoed from Ankeli, signaling the breaking of chains.
When the last wisp of toxic mist was purified by the Starry Swaddle, Luna suddenly heard a scratching sound coming from deep within the Rock Layer, as if Ailya's White Nails were clawing at the Crystal Coffin.
She gripped the venom-soaked Dragon Crystal Fragment tightly and saw her shadow on the wall slowly splitting into a second outline—this shadow wore a crown adorned with Xingyue and held the Judgment Court Scepter, which was not supposed to be unearthed for another three hundred years.
The scratching at the Crystal Coffin sent ripples through the rock wall, and Luna felt a sudden burning sensation at her nape where the Starry Birthmark was located.
She stuffed the venomous Dragon Crystal Fragment into the Swaddling Dark Bag, and the bitter taste of leftover Black Rose honey from her Tongue signaled that her foresight magic had been triggered.
Seven floating skeletal crystals simultaneously exhaled Purple Smoke, coalescing into an apparition of weeping Lady Aelia. "Luna, quickly give Mommy the Heart Shield Scale." The apparition's hand passed through the Starry Swaddle, but when it reached for the infant's neck, it was met by the icy blue dragon pattern of Ailina's Burn.
The real Aelia was likely trapped in the Emerald Corridor, ensnared by a web of magic woven by the Defensive Barrier of the Magic Castle.
Luna kicked her legs like those of a small child and sat up, her unique infantile Chaotic Magic swirling around her amidst fragments of Long Jing.
Deliberately, she shoved her Thumb into her mouth to suck on it while secretly biting her Fingertip with her Milk Tooth.
As the Blood Pearl fell into the altar's crack known as Shan Na, chains on eighteen Obsidian Pillars suddenly tightened, tearing apart the apparition into drifting Stardust.
"Young Miss!” The trembling voice of Qin Si came from above the overturned altar.
The maid, her frosty attire glistening, leaned halfway out, the Wisteria Hairpin in her hair flashing ominously with a hint of Youguang.
She deliberately exposed her Hand Back, marred by a cut from a Poisonous Rose, with a Lacrima hanging precariously on her eyelashes. "My Lord has imprisoned all three Young Masters in the Bone-Eating Water Dungeon."
Luna curled up in the shadow of the Bronze Urn, her Chubby Palm pressing against a protrusion on the urn's surface.
The frequency of the Moonlight Butterfly Larva's wings, resonating through the Bronze, differed by three octaves from the dark night butterfly summoned during Brother San's transformation—indicating that Lucius was likely at a critical stage in breaking the Puppet Curse.
"Lady Aelia sent me to take you to get the Antidote." Qin Si leaped down from the crevice, her Skirt brushing against the Ice Surface, leaving behind Scorch Marks from the Soul-Eating Jellyfish slime that clung to her Xiu Xie.
The Curse Doll hidden in her sleeve was growing warm; it was a Little One woven from Luna's Golden Hair, now seeping Hei Xue as she drew closer.
Luna tilted her head, displaying an infant's characteristic bewilderment, yet deep within her Pupil flowed the Star Map calculations of a Great Mage.
Qin Si's Ear bore a new Serpent Mark that matched the records in her Father's Study's Forbidden Techniques Codex, Volume Three—proof that she had participated in at least two Blood Sacrifice Rituals.
"Brother hurts." Luna suddenly pointed at Qin Si's Waist, where the Scent Pouch contained the missing reverse scale from Lucius's Leonard's Sword.
The accusation in her Baby Voice caused the maid to stumble back. The Scent Pouch embroidered with an Invisibility Charm suddenly snapped open, and as the reverse scale hit the ground, its Longyin shattered three skull crystals atop the rock.
Qin Si knelt on the Ice Surface, pale-faced, as her carefully prepared words were thrown into disarray by this unexpected turn of events.
When she reached down to pick up the reverse scale, Luna suddenly opened her arms for a hug.
This request made the maid hesitate.
As she touched the swaddled form, Qin Si felt an ice spike pierce through her Spine.
Luna's seemingly ordinary silver necklace suddenly revealed a Dragon Scale Pattern, and the Gu Worms hidden within Ailya's White Nails burst forth, transforming into black mist that was absorbed by the Starry Swaddle.
Even more terrifying was the magic within her body flowing backward, as if what she held in her arms was not a baby but a black hole devouring magic.
"Go that way." Luna pointed with her chubby little finger towards the East Corridor, where the Dark Red Mist swirled. That was the Forbidden Zone where Leonard cultivated the Soul Devouring Demon Seed in the Original.
The baby's warm Luna pressed against Qin Si's stiff neck, while the tiny hand hidden in the swaddling quietly tugged at a strand of the maid's hair—this was the key medium to break the Curse Doll's connection.
From deep within the Rock Layer came the sound of the Crystal Coffin lid moving, awakening some ancient presence with Xing Hui's magic.
Luna pretended to reach for Qin Si's swaying Wisteria Moonstone Earrings, but in reality, she pressed her fingertip, stained with Dragon Blood, against the maid's ear where the Serpent Mark lay.
As her blood seeped into the Curse Mark, a stagnation spread throughout the Magic Circle of the Demon Abyss.
Eighteen blood-red Shu Tong slowly closed within the Dome, replaced by countless glowing green Compound Eyes opening among the vines.
Luna adjusted her position in Qin Si's arms, subtly pressing the back of her head against the maid's Heart.
She could feel the chaotic heartbeat of her counterpart gradually synchronizing with a Heart Rate from somewhere underground, confirming her suspicion that "the core of the Demon Abyss hides Leonard's Second Heart."
The foul Blood Mist suddenly turned sweet, and countless translucent Tentacles emerged from the Rock Crevice, gently brushing along their path forward.
Luna knew this was a precursor to activating the Soul Transfer Array; those Tentacles were searching for a suitable parasitic Container.
She deliberately released a hint of pure Xing Hui magic, causing all the Magic Patterns in the East Corridor to shine as bright as Daylight.
As they turned the fifth corner, Qin Si's Wisteria Hairpin suddenly turned to ashes.
At the same time, Leonard on the Astrology Platform in the Magic Castle clutched his heart and fell to his knees. The image of Leonard's Last Night reflected in the crystal ball made his pupils constrict—what should have been devoured by the Soul-Eating Jellyfish, the Starry Swaddle, was now shining with a blinding blue light deep within the Demon Abyss.
The mist at the end of the East Corridor suddenly solidified into a mirror, revealing the spider-like shadow spreading behind Qin Si.
Luna reached out to grasp the reflection in the mirror, stardust hidden in her flesh trickling into the maid's collar.
When the last grain of stardust touched the Curse Mark, a roar echoed from the depths of the Demon Abyss as chains broke apart, and a sealed existence opened its twelfth pair of eyes.
The thick darkness suddenly felt heavy; the Starry Swaddle in Qin Si's arms burned like a red-hot iron.
The Serpent Seal on the maid's nape began to writhe, carving charred furrows into her skin with every inch it crawled.
Luna caught a whiff of the Rotting Rose Fragrance permeating the air—this was the final warning from the Demon Abyss barrier to intruders.
"Young Miss, don't be afraid." Qin Si's trembling voice was swallowed by the rock wall, turning into a hissing sound as her skirt embroidered with the Invisibility Charm began to carbonize from the hem.
As the seventh ash fell to the ground, the entire East Corridor seemed to come alive and began to constrict. The dark red flesh walls bulged with countless Mama's ova, each containing curled-up translucent Soul Devouring Jellyfish larvae.
Luna shoved her fingers stained with Dragon Blood into her mouth, tasting Shan Na's iron rust flavor on her tongue as eighteen trails of starlight suddenly emerged on the surface of the swaddle.
The closest ova burst open in unison; black slime had not even hit the ground before it solidified into ice spikes, pinning three tentacles that attempted to attack against the flesh wall.
The infant's Dragon Scale Pattern flashed with an eerie blue glow, and the pierced tentacles began to reverse and consume the rotting flesh of the Demon Abyss.
"Over here!" Qin Si suddenly turned towards a left fissure, her hair's Wisteria petals transforming into Gray Butterflies to lead the way.
The hidden runes on her Xiu Xie fell off during their frantic run, revealing a Sacrificial Array Diagram concealed in the soles of her shoes—drawn with Zhusha ground from Third Young Master Lucius's reverse scale, the Teleportation Circle was now scorching the Ground as it moved along their Track.
From deep within the Demon Abyss came the roar of chains, Zhen Chan. Luna's ears perked up, catching the faint sound of the Moonlight Butterfly Larva breaking free from its cocoon within the Bronze Urn amidst the chaotic echoes.
This was fifteen minutes earlier than she had anticipated for breaking the curse, indicating that Brother San Lucius was currently enduring double the backlash pain.
The infant's sudden loud cry, wrapped in a Purification Spell, incinerated the Web-like Black Mist attempting to ensnare them into ashes along their path.
As they turned at the Ninth Turn, Qin Si slipped beneath her feet.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna grabbed her Crystal Button at her chest and used the force of her fall to slip the hidden Dragon Crystal Fragment tucked in her swaddling into the maid's collar.
The moment the fragment touched the Serpent Seal, the entire East Corridor suddenly lit up like Daylight—those seemingly naturally formed Rock Crevices were actually part of a Binding Array drawn with Dragon Bone Powder.
"We're here!" Qin Si gasped as she knelt at the edge of the Circular Altar, her meticulously manicured Ailya's White Nails already cracked and bleeding.
Suspended before her were seven Prisms, each reflecting different terrifying scenes: Lady Aelia wilting in a Spider Web, the Three Young Masters floating in a Blood Pool, and Luna herself being refined into a pill within a Bronze Cauldron.
Luna kicked her little legs wrapped in Starry Swaddle, struggling to prop herself up.
In the center of the altar, the Bronze Cauldron had three more cracks than she remembered, its body entwined with chains soaked in fresh Bloodstains—evidence of today’s third sacrifice.
The infant's chaotic eyes suddenly sparkled with brilliance as she saw the remnants of Second Brother's sword energy and the shattered pieces of her elder brother's Astrological Compass settled at the bottom of the cauldron.
"As long as a pure soul is offered, the revered one will grant the power to break the curse." Qin Si's trembling hand brushed against the edge of the Bronze Cauldron, and the black mist that suddenly surged from within carved spider web-like blood marks across her face.
Tears finally fell from the maid's eyes, but they froze in mid-air into Ice Pearls, each containing a mini Cursed Doll of Qian Jiao—each one a servant she had assisted Leonard in tormenting over the years.
Luna suddenly reached out to grab the nearest Blood Pearl, her chubby fingers stirring up brilliant Stardust as they passed through the black mist.
Those sealed Wraiths transformed into Glowing Butterflies and scattered into flight upon touching the infant's pure magic.
The Prisms surrounding the altar exploded one after another, sending shards flying that created ripples on the surface of the Starry Swaddle.
"Can it really save brother?" The inquiry in Baby Voice sent shivers through Qin Si's entire body.
Luna tilted her head, displaying an infant's characteristic innocence as she held out a Glowing Butterfly she had fished from the black mist to the maid. "Does the butterfly hurt? Does Qin Qin hurt too?"
These words acted like a released Spell, and a loud grinding noise echoed from beneath the altar as gears began to turn backward.
Eighteen Bronze Pillars simultaneously spewed forth Purple Smoke, intertwining at the Dome to form a massive eye pattern.
Those who had been lurking in the shadows, Mo Ying, suddenly revealed themselves, densely crowding every corner of the altar. The greedy Green Light retreated as if struck by lightning upon touching the Starry Swaddle.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna pressed her Hand Back against the Bronze Cauldron, causing a Resonance between the Dragon Scale Pattern and the ancient incantation inscribed on its body.
The infant’s seemingly unintentional scratching motion was actually inscribing a Reversal Formation with Ailya's White Nails on key runes.
When she accidentally knocked over the bowl of blood for the third time, the lurking Mo Yings suddenly let out a terrified screech and retreated like a tide into the shadows of the rock wall.
"Please, esteemed one, calm your wrath!" Qin Si suddenly prostrated herself, her forehead striking heavily against the edge of the altar.
The Serpent Seal on the back of her neck had crawled up to her ear, flicking its tongue toward her temples. "I offer up a pure soul, begging you to save the Magic Castle..."
Before she could finish her plea, the silent black mist within the Bronze Cauldron suddenly coalesced into a solid form.
Countless tentacles, flowing with dark Golden Runes, burst forth from the mist, each ending in an amber-eyed Shu Tong.
The eyes reflected not the current altar but rather Leonard's Last Night—three days ago—when Leonard had drawn the possession array in a secret chamber. The focal point he used was none other than the Longevity Lock worn during Luna's Hundred Day Feast.
Luna suddenly laughed and lunged at the nearest tentacle. As Starry Swaddle made contact with the runes on the tentacle's surface, blue sparks erupted.
The Shu Tongs' pupils all constricted to needle-tip size upon seeing baby Mei Xin and Long Jing.
What should have devoured everything—the tentacles—actually shrank back in fear, sending ripples of terror through the air.
"This is an Abyssal Sovereign that has devoured dragon gods!" Qin Si's voice trembled with madness as she frantically drew energy from the Sacrificial Array Diagram emerging from her hand. "As long as it wishes, with just a flick of its finger it can..."
Suddenly, the altar shook violently, interrupting her unfinished words.
All the tentacles turned in unison toward the northwest, where amber-eyed Shu Tongs reflected Lucius severing the Puppet Curse from Leonard's Last Night.
Seizing the opportunity, Luna sprayed Dragon Blood onto the inner side of the Bronze Cauldron. Using Blood Mist as cover, she bit into the cauldron's ear with Milk Tooth to carve out a miniature backlash array.
As the last rune was completed, a subtle shift occurred in the entire Magic Flow of the Demon Abyss.
The Mo Ying, retreating into the shadows, let out unwilling howls, helplessly watching as the Starry Swaddle grew brighter.
The Abyssal Sovereign's Tentacles suddenly split into millions of glowing Fine Threads, gently wrapping around Luna's petite body.
The glowing Fine Threads froze upon touching the baby's earlobe, and all Amber and Shu Tong simultaneously turned toward the altar's Southeast Corner.
There, three Tentacles flowing with starlight slowly emerged from the void, each surface adorned with the unique Emblem of the Court of Judgment.
In Luna's wide eyes, a sign of some supreme existence awakening was reflected—her Heart Shield Scale within the Hidden Layer of her swaddle was resonating with a certain frequency from afar.
Moonlight pierced through the Colored Stained Glass Window, casting an eerie Light Spot on Luna's silver Cradle.
Her three-inch long, tender feet suddenly touched a cold metallic object—it was Leonard's "Unintentional" Family Crest, embedded with moonstones that could induce spatial teleportation.
In the shadows of the Wisteria Corridor, Qin Si trembled as she held the Crystal Baby Bottle.
When she glanced at the Pocket Watch for the fifth time, Luna noticed that the Serpent Relief on the inner side of the Watch Case was rotating clockwise—this was a modification technique unique to Black Market Merchants in the Original.
The Bronze Door of the Underground Lair slammed shut behind her, and Luna's swaddle became covered in glowing Moss.
As blood handprints emerged on the wall spelling out Leonard's Concubine's Name Abbreviation, she finally understood that this conspiracy was not just a power purge but also involved Taboo Blood Sacrifice and Soul Exchange.
At the moment Lucius's sword pierced the Worm Leader, the Amethyst embedded in its hilt suddenly burst forth with Youguang.
The radiant lights intertwined before Luna, forming a prophecy scene: her future self, twenty years later, was fastening a jade pendant around the dying Lucius's neck.
In the underground, Han Qi was enveloped in a swaddling blanket soaked with embroidered gold thread. Luna stared at the glowing moss writhing on the rock wall and suddenly became aware that these fluorescent tracks corresponded to the celestial chart.
She curled up her infant body, using saliva to trace a fragmented magic circle on the silk quilt—drawing from Chapter Three of "Ancient Star Divination," which she had studied in her past life, concerning the magical tide during an eclipse.
"How did the young lady get here?" Qin Si's voice came from around the corner. As her redbud-embroidered skirt swept across the ground, the moss suddenly grew wildly, wrapping around Luna's ankles.
Luna focused on the pearl hairpin newly adorned in her maid's hair; it was clearly the birthday gift given to the steward by Lady Aelia last month.
As the blood-red stone tablet in the center of the altar began to hum like Leonard's sword, Luna finally saw that the family crest in the corner of the stele inscription had been tampered with.
She pretended to be confused as she grasped Qin Si's wrist, using her innate magic power to awaken the black magic mark hidden beneath her skin—this was revealed only in Volume Three of the original work, Leonard's unique soul mark.
"Brother San!" Luna suddenly called out clearly. This broken syllable, impossible for an infant's vocal cords to produce, caused Qin Si, who was about to chant a spell, to tremble violently.
From the shadows emerged Lucius, his sword tip still dripping azure blood. The amethyst pendant swaying on his chest resonated with the stone tablet, causing the curse binding Luna to instantly flow back into Qin Si's body.
Amidst the falling debris from the rocky peak, Luna saw a young Brother San overlapping with the dying man from her prophecy scene.
Just as Lucius's fingers were about to touch her forehead, a hexagram suddenly appeared around Luna, enveloping them both in a silver light cocoon. Memory fragments from three hundred years ago surged in like a tide—revealing that they had exchanged a contract of destiny long before this reincarnation began.
