The Carved Door of the Nursery buzzed with magical energy, and the frost on Leonard's Dark Cloak began to fall in flakes.
He pressed his Fingertip against Aelia's newly acquired Scar, a mark made by the poisonous Ailya's White Nails used by a woman from the Outer Chamber that morning.
"The Magic Castle needs Luna." His knuckles whitened as he spoke, and the Star Chart Device in the corner suddenly began to spin faster. "Last night, Third Young Master Lucius was consumed by shadows at the Trial Grounds. The High Priest said only the blood of the Legitimate Heir can—"
The Celadon Tea Bowl exploded at Aelia's feet, shards scattering and cutting through the hem of her skirt embroidered with Ice Crystal Orchids.
Qin Si gasped, watching as pearls from the lady's hair transformed into Ice Blades, barely grazing the Lord's neck.
"Legitimate?" Aelia held Luna, who squirmed in her swaddling. The Yin Ling around the baby's neck suddenly emitted a piercing sound. "When you allowed that woman to use the Soul Devouring Butterfly to parasitize Lucius, the Glorious Demon Fortress was left as nothing but a decaying shell!"
Leonard's pupils constricted, and his Xuan Tie Wristguards erupted with Crimson Curse.
Luna suddenly laughed, her chubby little hands accurately grasping the scattered remnants of the Curse in mid-air. The energy capable of strangling dragons coalesced into Colorful Bubbles in her Palm.
"You see? Even the elemental forces of heaven and earth are drawn to her." The Lord's Adams Apple bobbed as he spoke, a familial recognition scroll hidden in his sleeve oozing Jin Mang. "As long as Luna drips blood into the Ancestral Hall’s genealogy, I will immediately allow the Outer Chamber—"
The Crystal Chandelier abruptly extinguished, and seventeen Colored Glazed Windows simultaneously reflected eerie shadows.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Si quickly picked up the Cradle and retreated. Six female Servants wearing Silver Masks emerged from the shadows; their skirts billowed with a dark fragrance that caused ripples in Leonard's protective barrier.
"Madam, be careful!" Qin Si suddenly cried out.
Luna's swaddling moved on its own without wind, and the Silk Satin embroidered with a Starry Sky Totem fell onto Aelia's Palm. The part dampened by tea revealed a blood-colored route—pointing directly to the location of Leonard's Concubine’s Secret Manor.
Leonard shouted furiously as the Magic Castle Tiles surged like waves.
Dozens of Ice Spikes shot through the air but bizarrely curved away upon nearing Luna, embedding themselves into the wall where generations of Lords' Images were shattered into broken Starry Sky Totems.
"Backlash barrier?" The Lord staggered as he wiped away blood from his mouth, staring uncertainly at the flickering Luna on the baby's Wrist.
That was unmistakably the Star-Moon Mark of the First Generation Archmage; he had seen the same totem when the Astrology Tower collapsed last night.
Aelia cradled her daughter in her arms, while Ice Blue Hair fluttered without wind. "Since you tacitly allowed Lucius to use the Forbidden Technique to harm your brothers, the glory of the Magic Castle should have..." She suddenly stopped, staring at Luna, who was gnawing on the recognition scroll, its Parchment now densely covered with Mama's Curse Runes.
"Miss, be careful!" Qin Si hurried to snatch it away, but was met with the explosive Heiyan and Ailina's Burn from the scroll.
Yet Luna seemed to savor the sweetness, smacking her lips as the poisonous flames that could corrode Dragon Scales coalesced into a candy-like sphere between her lips, which she swallowed with a gulp.
Leonard suddenly groaned, his Left Eye Emerging in a manner strikingly similar to Luna's Xing Mang.
A roar echoed from deep within the Magic Castle, and a Bloodlight Column rose from the direction of the Ancestral Altar—this was a Warning that the Recognition Ceremony had been forcibly interrupted.
"Tomorrow at the Magic Festival, I will ask the Holy Land Monk to retest her Bloodline." The Lord pressed down on Leonard's Sword, which was incessantly vibrating. He cast a deep glance at Luna, who was busy fiddling with Aelia's Pearl Necklace. "If she truly is..." Before he could finish his sentence, Luna let out a loud Lactation Burp, causing Aelia's treasured Snow Spirit Pearl to melt into Silver Liquid in her palm, dripping through her fingers to form an ancient Guardian Spell.
As the last glimmer of golden light seeped into the Peacock Stone Tiles, the Nursery Dome suddenly emerged with the Wedding Oath Totem of the First Generation Fortress Master and the Queen of Elves.
Leonard felt as if struck by lightning; he clearly remembered that last night, a woman from the Outer Chamber had used this very totem to deceive him and steal the key that could unlock the Magic Crystal Mine.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Si activated a mechanism. Eight Mechanical Arms extended from behind the Emerald Screen and pushed the Lord out of the door.
As the door closed with a Shan Na sound, Luna suddenly reached out with her saliva-covered little hand. The gem on Leonard's Xuan Tie Wristguards, dormant for centuries, erupted with a Strong Light that outshone day and night.
Gold suddenly rained down from the Dome Mural of Starry Sky Hall. Leonard stepped back three paces after pressing down on Zhen Chan’s Xuan Tie Wristguards.
Behind him, twelve Magic Crystal Lamps exploded simultaneously. The splattering Xing Huo crystallized into Ice Crystal Butterflies upon touching Luna's Swaddling, dancing around her head in flickering light.
"The Star Chart Device shows that Luna has seventy percent of our ancestor's Bloodline." The Lord spread his palm; floating Star Sand formed the emblem of the Magic Castle in mid-air. "As long as she is willing on Blood Moon Night..."
"Meow!" Luna suddenly emitted a baby voice sound effect as her little hand scattered the Star Sand pattern.
Aelia’s sleeves embroidered with Ice Crystal Orchids suddenly surged with Zi Wu, coalescing into three shadowy kittens that leaped onto the Crystal Chandelier—the very Soul Devouring Beast larvae that Leonard and the woman from Outer Chamber feared most.
The Crimson Eye Gem on Leonard's Sword abruptly opened but froze upon seeing the collar around one kitten’s neck.
Those Mithril collars were inscribed with his congratulatory message for Ailya's Birthday Rune that he had gifted to Third Young Master Lucius last month.
Suddenly, a roar echoed from the direction of the Beast Pen, where the Shadow Beasts were kept, and black smoke billowed into the air.
"Father always says bloodline is supreme." A hoarse mocking voice came from behind the Carved Pillars, as the Wheelchair rolled over the Star Sand, producing a sound that made one’s teeth ache.
Eldest Brother Pale's fingers were entwined with the broken Spellbinding Chains, and with each word he spoke, shards of ice spilled from the corners of his mouth. "Then why, when my backlash occurred, were you using my Ailya's Birthday Rune to prolong the life of the Outer Chamber?"
Leonard's Dark Cloak fluttered without wind, and just as he was about to speak, a crystal ball came hurtling through the air and struck his Pauldron.
Second Brother leaned against the Gilded Door Frame with a cold smile, his Fingertip glowing with Blue Light left by the Transference Spell. "On the night Third Brother was consumed by shadows, the tracking gem on your Leonard's Sword lit up seventeen times—exactly the number of times you visited the Secret Manor."
Luna suddenly opened her arms wide, and the temperature in the Nursery dropped sharply.
Aelia's Ice Crystal Orchid burst into bloom, enveloping Eldest Brother’s Wheelchair in a Light Blue Barrier.
The baby’s Wrist projected a Star Map, illuminating Second Brother’s neck where a Curse Mark was concealed by a Tattoo from his close friend.
"Enough!" The Lord swung his sword to shatter an Ice Crystal Butterfly, but Jian Feng’s blade bizarrely bent upon touching Luna's Swaddling.
He stared in shock at his reflection on the wall made of Star Sand—what should have belonged to the Lord of the Frost Fortress was now curled into a hunchbacked black mist.
Luna suddenly grasped Aelia’s Pearl Earrings, while Shan Na bit through the silver chain of Milk Tooth, causing the entire Crystal Tower to resonate with an Ethereal Hymn.
The shattered pearls reformed in mid-air, transforming into the figure of the First Generation Fortress Master holding the Star Moon Staff.
A Silver Light shot from the tip of the Scepter, piercing Leonard's chest and scorching a Recognition Contract hidden within his Dark Pattern.
"The lady is reshaping the Blood Oath!" Qin Si exclaimed as he unfolded a Protective Barrier.
Six Silver Masked Maids suddenly leaped out from a mural. The silver threads they pulled with their Spindles were reweaving Eldest Brother’s broken Spellbinding Chains.
Leonard pressed down on his surging blood energy and suddenly reached for Luna's Swaddling.
Just as his Fingertip was half an inch away from the baby, the Star Moon Totem in the Nursery Dome abruptly inverted, freezing his entire right arm in ice crystals.
The Lord's pupil shrank suddenly—this was clearly the Bloodline Rebound foretold by the Astrologer last night!
Leonard's right arm, frozen in ice crystals, exuded black mist as he activated the Crimson Eye Gem on his Xuanbing Bracers, attempting to use Bloodline Resonance to reach Luna.
The infant suddenly widened her violet eyes, her chubby palm slapping against his frozen fingertip.
“Father... stinky!” Luna babbled incoherently. As her Lullaby Voice faded, Leonard's Xuan Tie Wristguards were suddenly covered in Frost Flowers.
He was astonished to find the ice crystals flowing upstream along the Bloodline, each inch of freezing accompanied by a recollection—last night, he had flirted with Leonard's Concubine at the Secret Manor, and now that memory was being recreated in the Nursery as an Ice Sculpture.
Aelia's skirt hem, embroidered with Ice Crystal Orchids, fluttered without wind, and Luna in her arms suddenly sneezed.
This seemingly casual action caused the Ice Sculpture illusion to accelerate abruptly, freezing Leonard's Last Night at the moment when the Outsider Woman stuffed a Soul Devouring Butterfly larva into the Contract Scroll.
“So you used the Wedding Oath Totem for this.” Brother San's voice came from behind the rotating Star Chart Device. The Alchemical Dice in his hand suddenly projected a three-dimensional image.
In Leonard's Last Night, Leonard was cutting his finger with Leonard's Sword, letting drops of blood fall onto the Outsider Woman’s chest where a Lunar Pendant hung—clearly a replica of the Token of Love belonging to the First Generation Fortress Master couple.
Luna suddenly waved the recognition scroll with tooth marks on it and mimicked in a baby voice: “Stinky! Shame!”
The chewed-up spot on the scroll revealed a hidden Contract, showing that those written in Dragon Blood indicated that the Recognition Ceremony would simultaneously transfer the magical talents of the Three Brothers.
“Father is even trying to steal an infant's food?” The eldest brother manipulated his Wheelchair to crush illusions on the Peacock Stone Tiles. His tattered Spellbinding Chains suddenly emitted Blue Light. “Last month during my Magic Backlash, you said the Star Chart Device indicated a need to soothe with Close Bloodline—” He tore open his clothing violently, revealing Leonard’s Guardian Sigil on his heart. “Yet this mark was secretly stealing my Frost Origin at midnight!”
Leonard shattered the ice crystals on his right arm, but the splintered fragments hovered mid-air when they touched Luna.
The Yin Ling around the infant’s neck chimed softly, and suddenly, the fragments changed direction, pinning his cloak against the Star Sand wall.
Qin Si took advantage of this moment with his Mechanical Arm to deploy a barrier; a large amount of Ice Mist poured out from behind the Emerald Screen in the Dark Compartment.
“Please step aside, Lord.” Brother San’s Alchemical Dice cracked open at his fingertip, revealing a Memory Crystal sealed inside.
In the image, Leonard was engraving Ailya's Birthday Rune onto the doorframe of the Outer Chamber. “You taught us that Family Glory is supreme but raised your illegitimate child in Bone-Eroding Swamp—where buried lies the bones of those who betrayed Magic Castle a hundred years ago!”
Luna suddenly reached out to grasp the drifting Ice Mist, and those Han Qi formed into the shape of a Little Rabbit in her palm.
Before Aelia could intervene, the Ice Rabbit suddenly leaped onto Leonard's shoulder and crushed the Message Charm hidden within his Dark Pattern.
Countless Light Spots spilled from the shattered charm, forming seventeen Secret Orders to mobilize the Shadow Guard.
"Miss has intercepted the military orders!" Qin Si exclaimed as he unfurled the encrypted scroll, his Mechanical Arm quickly imprinting the Iris in the air.
When the last Secret Order materialized, everyone present gasped in shock—it was an order to deploy the Magic Crystal Cannon to bombard the Frost Fortress, where Aelia's maternal clan, the Royal Guard, was stationed.
Leonard's Sword let out a mournful cry, blood seeping from the Crimson Eye Gem at its hilt.
Furiously, he shattered the Ice Rabbit illusion, but when his sword energy reached Luna's Swaddling, he was repelled by a backlash from the barrier, causing his palm to crack.
As blood dripped down, a beam of light suddenly descended from the Star Moon Totem in the Nursery Dome, enveloping him within a Judgment Barrier.
"Parental Debt, Child Repayment..." Luna spoke a complete sentence, her eyes reflecting a wisdom not befitting an infant.
Her wrist projected a Star Map that inscribed Leonard's crimes onto the Magic Castle Tiles.
When the final Ke Hen was completed, the entire Crystal Tower resonated with thirty-six chimes of Zhong Ming—this was the highest level of Expulsion Order.
Leonard's Dark Cloak turned to ash within the judgment beam; he desperately grabbed Qin Si's spare cloak but froze when he reached for the doorknob.
The Gilded Door Ring had somehow transformed into a Soul Devouring Butterfly, mocking him with a voice similar to that of an Outsider Woman: "Even Lord has never changed his own daughter's Diaper."
As the Nursery door slammed shut, Luna suddenly clapped her chubby little hands and laughed joyfully.
Aelia's treasured Snow Spirit Pearl flew out of the safe and transformed into ice crystal fireworks above the children's heads.
Six Silver Masked Maids leaped from the mural; on their Spindle-woven Star Light Barrier, they were broadcasting live coverage of the Magic Arena event.
"Mother, look!" Second Brother suddenly pointed at the screen as Eldest Brother's Wheelchair burst forth with Blue Light in the center of the Competition arena.
His shattered Spellbinding Chains were reassembling, frost crystallizing into new Twin Legs.
When the referee announced that he had broken the Ancient Law Array three times in a row, Luna suddenly blew Colorful Bubbles towards the curtain.
Each bubble landed precisely on her brother's trophy, purifying the hidden shadow curse within.
Aelia's Ice Crystal Orchid in her hair suddenly grew wildly, forming a celebratory archway in the center of the Nursery.
Qin Si manipulated the Mechanical Arm to present a Honey Cake, but as he bent down, his nape revealed a glimpse of the Dark Night Elf's Moonlight Emblem.
"Cheers to our true glory!" Brother San tossed the Alchemical Dice into the air, and the dice cracked open, bursting forth a Rainbow Waterfall.
Luna excitedly waved her chewed-up scroll, guiding the waterfall into her brothers' healing Guang Liu.
When her eldest brother's Wheelchair truly transformed into an Ice Crystal Throne, Aelia suddenly pressed her hand against her Heart, unaware that the Ice Crystal Orchid on her Hair Tips was quietly turning black.
At that moment in the Forbidden Grounds of the Demon Fortress, Leonard's Sword was unleashing fury upon the Trial Puppet.
At his feet lay seventeen decapitated Astrolabes, each instrument displaying the celebratory scene of Aelia and Mother and Son at that moment.
As the last Puppet exploded, a Secret Letter sent by a woman from the Outer Chamber suddenly ignited spontaneously, and Ashes formed the Warning in mid-air: Beware of Bloodline Rebound.
The Lord did not notice that the cloth he used to wipe Jian Feng was absorbing dark energy.
The Star Moon Totem embroidered on Pa Jiao was identical to the pattern on the bed curtains he had used last night in the Secret Manor—each rune there was quietly siphoning off his life essence.
Aelia cradled Luna in her arms as the Star Moon Embroidery on the Infant Swaddling suddenly shimmered with Silver Light.
Leonard's outstretched finger halted abruptly three inches from his daughter, and tiny Golden Sparks erupted in the air, illuminating the man's astonished face.
"Damn it, this girl..." The master of the Glorious Demon Fortress retracted Zhuo Tong's Palm, and the Amethyst Ring on his ring finger trembled uneasily.
Behind him, the Magic Candelabra suddenly exploded in unison, and splattered Wax crystallized mid-air into runes of Warning.
The crystal chandelier in the main hall suddenly fell, hovering eerily half a meter above the dining table.
Luna let out a lactation burp, her emerald-colored pupils swirling with ancient demon patterns, as the shattered crystal shards transformed into Xing Xu and dissipated in the twilight.
"Father, be careful!" Lucius rushed forward to steady the staggering Lord, while his hand hidden beneath the dark red cloak quietly crushed a communication talisman stone.
He caught sight of his second brother's silver fork twisting on the crystal plate, its tines pointing ominously at his own heart.
Aelia gently stroked her daughter's feverish forehead, the soft golden hair of the infant subtly revealing an emerging magical crown of Xu Ying.
When she raised her gaze, the eyes of the ancestral images on the wall turned toward Leonard, their lips parting to unleash a thunderous roar: "Shame!"
"Enough!" Leonard swung his scepter to dispel the apparition, but the shadow crystal embedded in the staff tip suddenly cracked.
He stared at the sleeping infant in Aelia's arms and suddenly realized that all three of his sons were watching him with strange expressions—his eldest son's wheelchair was entwined with newborn vines, his second son's palm bore a fading contract mark, and even his most inept son San Zi had elemental sprites dancing between his fingers.
When Qin Si entered with herbal tea, she caught a whiff of the lingering time-space magic in the air.
The maid's moonstone earrings suddenly heated up; it was a warning spell planted by the lady ten years ago. When she saw the black feather slipping from Third Young Master Lucius's sleeve, the herbal concoction in the crystal cup instantly froze.
"The holy scripture is approaching," Lucius whispered in Father’s ear. His fingertip brushed against Luna’s cradle but was met with an invisible force known as Ailina's Burn. "I heard that the new high monk at Magic Sanctuary is best at identification..." He swallowed the latter half of his sentence as a bolt of lightning split through the family crest flag outside, blood seeping from the right eye of the glory eagle depicted on it.
