Chapter 154: The Tiny Spark

Moon’s breath hitched.

His fingers clasped around Axe’s flesh as Axe lifted his waist.

"Wait... what are you doing?" Moon said hurriedly.

Soon he didn’t have to ask anymore.

Axe brought out some dry clothes he had stored in his pouch and threw them on the platform.

He turned Moon onto his chest and pinned his shoulders down.

His intent gaze fell on the mound, and his muscles flexed with excitement.

As his soft, wet tongue licked along the crack, Moon cried out, "Ah! What..."

In return, Axe shoved his tongue inside and started to lick and suck.

"Mmph—ah"

"No, Axe... hsss... no, it’s dirty..." Moon started mumbling incoherently.

Axe gave a slap on the mound and dove in again.

He licked from the crack up to Moon’s tailbone, then down again to his balls. One hand wrapped around Moon’s hardness and started to stroke.

Soon the sanctuary that had been silent the entire day was filled with loud cries and moans.

Axe licked and sucked until Moon was soft and slick.

Then he pushed Moon onto his back, tore the robe open, and buried himself inside with a deep thrust.

He felt an insatiable hunger that even long thrusting couldn’t fill.

He bit down on Moon’s neck and touched him all over.

"Baby..." he murmured. "Let me take root inside you."

His hip rolled and slammed faster and harder than before, leaving Moon out of breath.

He picked Moon up and fucked him all over the sanctuary.

And then he released everything.

The rusty metallic scent filled the air.

His scent was so aggressive and violent that for a moment Moon’s senses went blank, and he shivered nonstop.

Yet deep inside him, he slowly but surely felt another tiny spark. It silently settled into a small essence globe, just like the little bud that had settled before.

Moon could now see and feel them both.

And he was sure—something was very wrong with the way they were wriggling inside him.

He felt scared of the unknown, so he hugged Axe tighter. For a fraction of a second, he lost his cool. He mumbled, "You... will you leave me if I become useless?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them.

He hurriedly pressed his palm over Axe’s lips. "Don’t answer. In fact, don’t talk."

Then he hugged Axe tightly again.

The knot inside him pulsed with his metal essence.

For now, all he wanted was to take advantage of this and raise his qi level to two stars.

In the morning, both Axe and Moon were silent.

It wasn’t that Axe didn’t want to talk. But every time he opened his mouth, Moon shut him down.

So in the end, he went inside the Lupine Palace and just started swinging a sword vigorously.

For some reason, Moon was very grave and solemn all morning.

He took out his cauldron and started preparing the poison-removing pill ingredients.

Soon, he stopped.

He sat cross-legged. His eyelashes fluttered with nervousness.

His eyes were closed, and he focused on his spiritual sea.

He needed to understand what was happening inside his body before he could concentrate on anything else.

In his lower abdomen, where the dantian was, his three fused cores were still entangled with each other. The other two—fire and ice—were smaller and lackluster, winding around the fused one.

Moon’s consciousness moved lower.

There...

His heart trembled.

He had never noticed it before. But there was another chamber right beside his dantian.

Inside it, two round spiritual spheres pulsed with two tiny seeds.

Calling them seeds felt wrong.

Moon concentrated harder.

His divine sense trailed closer.

One was a very tiny bud. It had already grown two small petal-like leaves. The other looked like a golden spark, flowing gently with the spiritual energy.

Moon stared at them for a long moment.

No wonder he hadn’t felt an overflow of qi after mating recently.

In fact, a large part of his spiritual essence had been gathering and concentrating here.

Moon’s stomach dropped.

How could this be?

He had painstakingly found a way to cultivate.

He had done all those embarrassing things just so he could raise his level. And now these two tiny sparks were emptying him?

He had even taken three men at once shamelessly. He should have been leisurely waiting to break through by now.

Yet here it was.

Everything was going in vain.

Even last night, after Axe’s wild times, he hadn’t gained much. The only thing he got was a damn waist pain this morning.

Thinking about it, Moon got angrier.

Axe had mated with others before, yet he had never had such a hard time as last night.

As if Axe was infused with some vigor-inducing pill.

And now Moon’s confidence in dual cultivation was at stake.

What if they all became like this after the soul contract? He couldn’t possibly lie around with a sore waist every time he wanted to cultivate.

That would be very embarrassing and also pathetic.

He gritted his teeth and pulled his divine sense back from the two tiny sparks.

It couldn’t be what he was thinking.

There was no way he could bear a child when he wasn’t even a master mage yet. His entire cultivation would be devoured. Not to mention there were two of them.

No. That wasn’t possible.

How could a man carry a child?

This must be some demonic curse those brothers put inside him.

Feeling frustrated, Moon called out in his mind.

"Goddess, are you here? I want to ask you something. Can you come out in front of me?"

His expression stayed serious, but his red ears betrayed his nervousness.

His expression remained serious, but his red ears betrayed his nervousness.

A soft silver light gathered in front of him as the Moon Goddess manifested.

[Oh, my child.

You finally decided to ask.]

Her voice was calm but carried a faint edge. [I was wondering how long you would keep pretending nothing happened.]

Moon’s fingers tightened around the spirit herbs.

"How? How did you know?" His eyes widened in shock and embarrassment. "Were you peeking inside me?" he asked aggrievedly.

For the first time, the Moon Goddess looked speechless.

[Mooney, I can’t peek inside your body. But I can still know what can happen to you.]

Moon’s rigid body finally relaxed a little.

It was already bad enough that she could "see" his every move. If she could see inside him too, that would be too much.

But then again, she was the goddess of this world.

He furrowed his brows. "You’re telling the truth?"

[Even if I could, I don’t have the leisure to peek. What’s more, you were not born here.]

So she could only peek at Monalis’s original people? Moon wondered. He shifted the topic, coughing twice.

"Ahem... so... these two little things... inside me... hmm how to say that... hm..."

[Yes, they are.] The Goddess cut in and nodded. She sat on the rock with quiet poise.

"I didn’t even ask," Moon muttered.

I already know. No need to ask.]

"But how? Why? I mean... how can I have a baby? I’m a man."

Moon’s face fell.

He was upset.
