Bai Jiao had tried several times, but he still couldn’t fuse the God of Light’s divine essence into Chao Zhuo’s body.
Chao Zhuo, on the other hand, didn’t care whether he could become the God of Light. The only thing that mattered to him was whether he could stay by Bai Jiao’s side and spend the rest of his life with him.
At first, he had been somewhat worried, afraid that Bai Jiao might push him away again, just as he had done before, without any warning or explanation. Because of this, Chao Zhuo had become especially clingy, unwilling to let Bai Jiao out of his sight for even a moment.
Wherever Bai Jiao went, Chao Zhuo insisted on following him. He even stubbornly demanded to be held in Bai Jiao’s arms, and if Bai Jiao refused, he would immediately feel uneasy and insecure.
The divine thrones of the God of Light, the God of Darkness, and the God of Desire were the three places where they indulged in their intimacy most frequently, apart from the bed.
Bai Jiao enjoyed having Chao Zhuo cling to him. Whenever he handled official affairs, he maintained his usual cold and taciturn demeanor in front of others, appearing distant and unapproachable as he attended to his responsibilities. Yet, beneath Chao Zhuo’s robes, his hands and tail would keep the man thoroughly occupied, teasing and tormenting him until he was utterly overwhelmed, unable to utter a single coherent word.
Of course, Bai Jiao kept Chao Zhuo very well hidden. He had no intention of allowing anyone to see Chao Zhuo in such a state, much less letting anyone else hear the sounds of his cries and moans.
This continued for many years. Only after all that time did Chao Zhuo finally emerge from the shadow of his fear that Bai Jiao might abandon him. He gradually returned to his former cheerful, smiling self, although he remained just as clingy as ever. He also developed a habit of asking all sorts of questions, and the one he asked most frequently was why, exactly, Bai Jiao liked him.
“There’s no reason for liking someone.”
Bai Jiao was currently seated upon the God of Desire’s divine throne, sowing his seeds among the subjects below.
Nowadays, the recipients of his seed were no longer limited to succubi.
Under Bai Jiao’s governance, all the different races had entered a peculiar state of harmony. The only exceptions were the constant wars between human kingdoms and the endless instigation and fighting among the demons themselves. The darkness that had once spread across the entire continent had been significantly reduced in scope, and the forces of darkness had reached a state of peaceful coexistence with the forces of light.
The succubi had also begun seeking out a wider variety of partners to entangle themselves with. Some were demons, some were humans, and others belonged to entirely different races. Even the elves, who had always been praised for their purity and noble character, could not entirely escape this trend and had begun to indulge in such affairs as well.
However, Bai Jiao had issued an order forbidding the succubi from latching onto a single individual and tormenting them relentlessly until they were completely exhausted. They were also prohibited from shortening the lifespans of members of other races. As a result, this particular round of seed-sowing involved an astonishing variety of races entangled together below. It was, without a doubt, the largest gathering of its kind in all these years.
“Why do you always give me the same answer?” Chao Zhuo grumbled unhappily.
“Then what is it that you like about me?”
Bai Jiao thought for a moment about their first encounter. Back then, their relationship had begun with a game of forceful possession and taking someone by force. Could it be that Chao Zhuo had a particular inclination toward that sort of thing?
The question caught Chao Zhuo completely off guard, and his cheeks gradually turned red.
“I don’t know either. I just really like you. I love you so much that I can’t bear to be apart from you.”
“Then why do you keep asking me? Of course, I’m the same as you.”
Bai Jiao pulled Chao Zhuo into his arms and held him close before tilting his head to press a kiss against the delicate tip of his ear.
Love had never been something that could be explained through reason or logic.
“We’ll never be separated again in the future, right?”
Those two months of separation and cutting off all contact had remained a sore point in Chao Zhuo’s heart. Although his insecurity had eased considerably since then, he still wanted to hear Bai Jiao give him a definite answer, something that would reassure him once and for all.
“We won’t. I’m the most powerful god in this world. There’s no one left who can separate us.”
Bai Jiao spoke with absolute certainty, and his words finally put Chao Zhuo’s heart at ease. With his arms wrapped around Bai Jiao’s neck, Chao Zhuo leaned in to kiss him.
In the midst of their kiss, he murmured indistinctly, “Didn’t you say that sowing seeds could lead to pregnancy? Why haven’t I gotten pregnant even now?”
Bai Jiao raised an eyebrow. “You’re not a succubus.”
Chao Zhuo ran his hand over Bai Jiao’s firm abdominal muscles before asking, “Then can you get pregnant?”
“You want me to get pregnant?” Bai Jiao mercilessly shattered his fantasy. “Dream on.”
“…Why? You don’t want us to have a child?” Chao Zhuo had never seriously considered the idea in the first place. However, after Bai Jiao rejected him so decisively, he found himself developing a rebellious streak and wanting to challenge that refusal.
“Then you can get pregnant instead. I’ll make sure you get pregnant today.”
As he spoke, Bai Jiao lifted the hem of Chao Zhuo’s clothes, positioning him precisely on his lap before beginning the succubus’s so-called process of “sowing seeds.”
Chao Zhuo didn’t take his words seriously at all. It wasn’t until several days later that he began to notice something strange. The flesh around his stomach seemed to have increased a little, as though he had put on some weight.
“Jiao Jiao, I think I’ve gotten fat.”
Chao Zhuo stood in front of the mirror, looking troubled as he examined the extra flesh that had appeared on his body.
Having spent every day surrounded by succubi who were all dazzlingly beautiful, Chao Zhuo had gradually developed an uncontrollable anxiety about his own appearance. This was especially true because Bai Jiao had told him at the beginning of their relationship that he liked Chao Zhuo because he was good-looking. As a result, Chao Zhuo couldn’t help worrying that his appearance might no longer be outstanding enough to hold Bai Jiao’s attention.
Bai Jiao glanced at him and replied in an utterly calm tone, “You haven’t gotten fat. You’re pregnant.”
Naturally, Bai Jiao was lying. The last thing he wanted was for a child to come between them and disturb the peaceful world of two that they had finally established.
He had given Chao Zhuo a newly developed soul stabilizer from the Origin World. The only side effect was that it could make the abdomen swell slightly for a few days.
“What? I’m pregnant?”
Chao Zhuo was utterly stunned. He reached out to touch his stomach, but even then, he didn’t dare press too hard, as though he might accidentally hurt the child growing inside him.
He was pregnant? With Bai Jiao’s child? When had he become pregnant?
Judging by the size of his belly, he had to be at least two or three months along. Yet, during this period, the two of them had been so intensely intimate with each other. How had none of it affected the child in the slightest?
Seeing Chao Zhuo standing there in a daze, Bai Jiao was just about to tell him the truth when Chao Zhuo suddenly approached him with a deeply worried expression.
“Jiao Jiao, can you tell when I got pregnant?”
“It was last time.” Bai Jiao slipped an arm around his waist and drew him closer. “Why are you asking?”
Chao Zhuo was still completely bewildered, but he chose to believe Bai Jiao.
“You should get back to work, then.”
Chao Zhuo rose from Bai Jiao’s embrace and carefully extricated himself from his arms. Protecting his belly with great caution, he began making his way toward the exit of the divine palace.
Bai Jiao watched him leave and asked, “What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to find Klan and Johnny,” Chao Zhuo replied before promptly disappearing from Bai Jiao’s sight.
Klan had been among the first recipients of the seed-sowing, and he had given birth to succubus twins for Johnny. Considering his experience, he should know quite a bit about pregnancy and raising children.
The moment Bai Jiao heard what Chao Zhuo had in mind, he realized that if Chao Zhuo actually went to ask them questions, his lie would be exposed immediately. He had no choice but to hurry after him and bring him back.
“Whatever questions you have, why do you insist on asking them? Can’t you just ask me?” Bai Jiao quickly pulled Chao Zhuo into his arms, holding him tightly before hesitantly continuing, “Actually…”
Chao Zhuo looked at him and asked, “Have you ever had a child?”
“Of course not,” Bai Jiao answered instinctively.
“Then how am I supposed to ask you about something you don’t even know anything about? Klan and Johnny have experience with having children.” Chao Zhuo cupped Bai Jiao’s face in his hands and gave him a little kiss before explaining earnestly, “Having a child is a big deal. I absolutely have to ask them for advice.”
The child hadn’t even been born yet, and Chao Zhuo’s attention had already been completely captured by this so-called baby. If he actually gave birth, wouldn’t things become even more troublesome?
Bai Jiao became even more determined in his resolve never to have a child.
“You’re not allowed to go. I want you right now.”
Bai Jiao had only looked away for a short while, yet Chao Zhuo’s belly had already grown a little bigger. The signs of his supposed pregnancy had become even more obvious.
Bai Jiao decided that he might as well give him some additional, more noticeable symptoms. For example, swollen breasts and milk production…
“I’m pregnant! How can we do something like that?” Chao Zhuo covered his belly and tried to run away. However, just as he was about to escape, he suddenly felt an uncomfortable fullness in his chest, as though something were swelling there…
What was happening?
He lowered his head and looked down, only to discover that the front of his clothes had become wet.
Bai Jiao had accidentally turned his thoughts into a divine decree. Now that the decree had already taken effect, he could only go along with it and find a way to make things right for Chao Zhuo.
“You’re not actually pregnant. I only gave you some nourishing medicine, and what you’re experiencing now is just a false pregnancy,” Bai Jiao explained.
A faint blush crept across his cheeks as he looked at the damp patch on Chao Zhuo’s clothes, his gaze shifting uneasily.
“You’re a liar! But… but right now, my chest feels so uncomfortable…”
Chao Zhuo touched the area above his belly, where the fullness had also begun to increase, and found the whole situation incredibly strange.
Fortunately, the changes weren’t too exaggerated. The area had only grown a little, but a continuous stream of liquid was emerging from it.
It was as though he had absorbed some of the characteristics of the Elven Divine Tree. After producing elven fruits, the tree would develop a sweet, nourishing sap, and now Chao Zhuo seemed to have inherited a similar trait, producing a delicious, milky liquid from his own body.
“Then I suppose I’ll have to help you myself.”
Bai Jiao had already revoked the divine decree, but he couldn’t simply pretend that the effects that had already occurred had never happened. The only thing he could do now was make up for his mistake.
He lifted Chao Zhuo’s clothes and lowered his head to kiss the affected area.
Mm… It was sweet. Actually, perhaps there wasn’t that much need to revoke the divine decree after all.
“Mmm… Don’t bite me, Jiao Jiao. Mm, this feels so strange…”
“The other side… I want the other side, too.”
“It’s overflowing, wuwuwu! Hurry up…”

【Because I was worried that some readers might find this uncomfortable, I only wrote a little! Just a tiny bit!】
The elves had a lifespan of only three hundred years, yet with Bai Jiao by his side, Chao Zhuo lived for more than five hundred years.
He was no longer fixated on returning to the embrace of the Mother Tree. Instead, he wanted to be buried alongside Bai Jiao when their time together finally came to an end. However, he knew that Bai Jiao’s lifespan as a god was extraordinarily long, and he was afraid he might never live to see the day when they could finally depart this world together. In the end, he chose to travel to the elven territory alone, intending to bestow all his remaining divine power of light upon the land and bless it with his presence.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Bai Jiao caught Chao Zhuo just as he was sneaking away, then reached out and rubbed the base of his wings. Chao Zhuo immediately lost all strength in his body and slumped helplessly to the ground.
“I want to return to the elven territory for a while.”
Having sensed that his time was drawing to an end, Chao Zhuo had spent every moment of the past few days clinging to Bai Jiao, refusing to leave his side even briefly. Because of this, it hadn’t taken Bai Jiao long to notice that something was wrong.
Time had left no visible marks upon the elves. Chao Zhuo still looked exactly as he had when Bai Jiao first met him, with his radiant features and deep, expressive eyes remaining as striking as ever.
“Zhuozhuo, are you planning to leave me?”
Bai Jiao leaned closer and quietly asked the question beside his ear. At the same time, three objects appeared in his hand.
Succubi, after all, did not age either. Even without the protection and enhancement of his divine essence, Bai Jiao’s appearance remained unchanged, just as it had always been. Naturally, Chao Zhuo had never noticed anything unusual about him.
“Jiao Jiao, it’s time for me to return to the embrace of the Mother Tree.” Chao Zhuo held Bai Jiao tightly, unable to bear the thought of parting from him. His voice trembled as he continued, “I can feel it…”
“Take these with you.”
Bai Jiao placed all three divine essences into Chao Zhuo’s hands.
