Divine sense receded through the layers of flesh, blood, and fat, ultimately retracting back into its owner outside.

Bubai’s lips finally parted from the cool, jade neck, hovering there and warming it up while he observed the mark he left as proof…

Proof for what? Well, certainly nothing unfit for young ears.

This much was obvious because what just happened was simply the natural process of life where his seed was planted into her-

Ahem. Ahem. It sounds wrong, but this was actually very, very serious business… specifically concerning seeds.

Seed of pleasure. Tribulation seed. His mystical seed cheat. His very own seeds—ahem.

Bubai has to admit: he really had a knack for encountering all sorts of seeds.

Thanks to all these seedy business and garden of trials, his current expertise in this field of study still couldn’t be said to be unmatched, but it’s enough to let him establish a basic hierarchy.

Needless to say, out of all the seeds, his own gluttonous seed was in a class of its own. It was the almighty lord above all seeds, the ultimate plot armor in any seedy saga out there!

Since this was the case, if ever faced with an insurmountable problem, particularly regarding seedy stuff, this last resort could be the failsafe solution!

Against the outrageous powers of a protagonist, Bubai can’t claim his own cheat will come out on top, but…

Think a mere foundation realm seed of pleasure can surpass the mysterious power of his own cheating seed? Think again!

Of course, the same cannot be said for the offshoot of his main seed, the tribulation seeds.

Indeed, the tribulation seed could be implanted onto others, but who knows if its performance would be up to par when pitted against other mysterious methods of this cultivation world.

However, desperate times call for desperate measures.

With no better options at hand, Bubai saw no harm in giving it a try—after all, what if...?

Fail? The worse-case scenario would be his tribulation seed becoming the fertilizer for the seed of pleasure.

Yes, that would push Xiao Lan further down the road of no return, but considering her fate if he delayed longer, this push hardly changed much.

On the other hand, if it does work...

Pushing himself up from the soft flesh that almost melded with his own, Bubai looked down at the perspiring Xiao Lan biting her lips, not leaking a single peep as though she was afraid of ruining the ritual.

Keeping her discomfort under wraps had long been a part of this strong waifu’s kit, yet this time… it was as clear as day.

Fortunately, it didn’t take much for Bubai to pinpoint the source of her pain—the now solidified seed of pleasure’s roots that was feeding on her dantian!

This was simply the seed of pleasure acting upon its true nature!

But sensing the intangible bond now established between them, Bubai willed it to stop...

Within a few breaths, Bubai sensed the entrenched seed of pleasure falling into dormancy, and the tension visibly ebbed from her body.

Knowing everything was now within his control, Bubai’s eyes gleamed. Success!

It was just like he theorized!

The tribulation seed really did possess the overpowered ability to assimilate the products developed by other esoteric cultivation methods!

First, it was the sunstone core of the Shadow Sun doll. Now, the seed of pleasure proved this hypothesis once more!

Of course, there are still some variations between the two.

There was some rather intense resistance during the doll’s assimilation, but this time...

What surprised him was that there was barely any resistance in the process!

His tribulation seed’s integration with the seed of pleasure was seamless, so much so that were it not for the connection he felt, he would’ve mistaken that his seed had turned into fertilizer for the latter!

Now, it was quite the opposite.

While the tribulation seed's new form appeared nearly identical to the seed of pleasure, he undoubtedly retained a semblance of control over it.

This control obviously came with perks, the foremost being his ability to induce the seed to enter dormancy, preventing it from feeding on its host!

And he wasn’t alone in learning about this profound change.

The indifference was still stuck on her face, but when Xiao Lan’s eyes fluttered open, they were filled something deeper. “Done?”

Bubai nodded and got off to give her some breathing space. "Try circulating your Qi."

Xiao Lan complied.

Bubai sensed Qi sprouting from her dantian and flowing through her meridians, gradually gaining momentum and exemplifying much more smoothness than her previous state.

After a few breaths, Bubai sensed the Qi settling down, bringing an end to the stress test. “Good?”

“En.” Xiao Lan breathed out and rested a hand on her belly.

Guessing she was doing an internal inspection of her body, Bubai feigned transparency, “I suppressed it with a treasure, but it’s unknown if it’ll ever relapse...”

That got her attention.

Bubai immediately adopted an innocent face and righteously suggested, “We’ll have to conduct some regular tests to make sure nothing is wrong. Agreed?”

Xiao Lan’s cool blue eyes seemed to see through his soul, yet she still acquiesced softly, “En. Listen to you.”

Her compliance made Bubai sit upright.

Raking his eyes over her snow white figure, the doctor’s professionalism took over and out came a seedy suggestion.

"Good. Now, let's begin by understanding your condition. How about we do some preliminary tests?”

“…” Xiao Lan still wore her poker face, but her eyes gave his tall-standing dragon that “rotten wood really can’t be carved” look.

Languidly rolling over onto all fours, the cold-faced goddess crawled over and gave the beast a sniff.

Her icy upturned eyes then gave him a look that plainly declared her sovereignty. “Bath after this.”

Her purplish lips then parted to welcome the dragon...
