Chapter 421: 9.40 Second Blue Star - (Past) Hei Anjing's First Birthday
The God of Void was busy renovating his mansion when he finally remembered that his little one's birthday was near. Thinking of this special day, Xia Jieye had to make preparations for the baby's gift. It cannot be an ordinary gift. It must be the most special and extremely unique only for his little one to possess. He spends the whole afternoon thinking about what he should give as a present to Hei Anjing. But what would the Mo Family lack, they had become the healthiest family in Vearth after Shen Siwang had married the Second son of the Mo Family.
Sitting in his personal seat inside his office he touched his chin thinking seriously about what he should give the little one.
He started murmuring luxurious things and rare artifacts but still couldn't choose which one to give.
"What should I give the little one? Hmm~"
"Since he is a Mo his main element must be Ice? Should I get the purest Ice crystal to help him? But that man (Mo Baojun) would definitely prepare that for his nephew?"
"How about an artifact? There are so many kinds and Siwang had a larger warehouse of those than mine."
"Should I get him a pet? There seems to be a newly hatched Phoenix-Dragon Hybrid and Dragon King in the East should I capture those? But Jing'er is too small, and those beasts might squash him. Hmp!"
"Should I get him a star or something? But the Mo Clan have so many of those in their possession. He would definitely be given one in the future?"
"If I gifted him a soul weapon he wouldn't be able to bind with it as he is still small."
"I need something unique. Something that would guide him, help him in times of need, and serve him while I'm not there. Hm~ what would that be?"
"Oh! I get it. Let's make that. One for me and one for him. So even if we are separated we should be able to communicate."
After he made up his mind about the gift he would give his little one, the God of Void went to his smithing room and locked himself for a few days before the birthday of the little one. No one knew what he was doing inside the room. But sounds of explosions and metals clashing, etc. Can be heard coming inside the room and none of the servants or guards dare to check.

Meanwhile at the Mo Household.
A week had already passed since the God of Void suddenly stopped visiting. Mo Baojun had his husband watch over that person and knew that he finished all his business three days ago but Xia Jieye hasn't visited his beloved little nephew ever since that night. He was a bit in a bad mood thinking that the bastard had lost interest in his cute nephew and had gotten his promise to come back and visit Baby Jing as soon as possible.
There weren't any movements or latest news about that man except that he had locked himself inside his smithy. He had been there for three whole days and today is finally the first birthday of his beloved nephew, Baby Hei Anjing.
Mo Baojun had been watching the movements in the south but had seen nothing making him even angry. South is where the territory of the Void God owns.
He finally couldn't help but ask, "Hubby, are you sure he is doing something for Baby Jing'er? I will trespass in this house and beat him up if he doesn't visit my nephew for today. This is Baby Jing'er's first birthday," said Mo Baojun.
His words were full of complaints but his face remained cold and emotionless. His eyes were a bit downcast as he sat crossed legs at the courtyard where they would celebrate Hei Anjing's birthday. The party isn't extravagant as those in noble clans. They have a small number of family members and Mo was used to being down to earth. In short, they love simple things and do things in a minimalist way.
The celebrations done by this family are always private. Only those who were truly close can come over to their territory as a guest. The guests were limited to their close friends, disciples, and close relatives.
Mo Yaoyun called them over for help, "Baobei-ge~, Second Brother-in-law, Mom said to help us bring out the food to the courtyard. The guests were about to arrive!"
"It's too early. Why are they coming over ahead of time? Let them wait by the gates?" said Mo Baojun.
Mo Yaoyun laughed and said, "Baobei-ge you can't make them wait outside the gates or the patrol guards would take them away."
"Let them be taken away then. Jing'er hates noise like being anyway," said Mo Baojun.
"Right~ Jingjing acts more like Baobei-ge than Big brother. Let's hope we won't get another lazy bug in the house~" said Mo Yaoyun.
Mo Baojun spoke, "I can carry my nephew even if he becomes lazy as I do. My hubby can carry me and Jing'er with no problems. Right, hubby?"
"That... I can help look for Jieye to carry Jingjing around?" said Shen Siwang obviously not willing to carry his wife together with a huge light bulb called Hei Anjing included.
Knowing what his husband was thinking, Mo Baojun elbowed his husband's stomach and walked away. He went inside the house followed by his husband who was holding on to his stomach trying to act pitiful. Baojun knows that his attack just now had no effects on his immortal husband.
Hmp!
Shen Siwang said, "Wifey, my tummy hurts~"
"Heal it yourself. Your main element is light after all," said Mo Baojun
Shen Siwang flirted, "Wifey, Hubby wants you to rubs~"
Halting his steps he turned around and looked at his husband from head to toes and then asked, "Which of it should I rub? The top or the bottom?"
"Can you rub both?" asked Shen Siwang and he got his foot stomped by Mo Baojun who mercilessly stepped on his toes on purpose.
HISSED!
"Hurts! Wifey, I'm just joking~ ouch! I think my toes died! Ah! Hiss!" said Shen Siwang.
Those who witnessed their silly interaction between newlyweds.
Mo Yue and Hei Sian said, "Serves you right~"
Mo Yaoyun, the only unmarried person in the family except for Baby Jing, "Stop feeding me dog food. This old lady can't afford it!"
Mr. and Mrs. Mo looked at their daughter and asked, "When are you going to bring an in-law for us, Yun'er?"
"W-When Nan-ge returns I'll propose?" said Mo Yaoyun.
Mo Baojun and Mo Yue commented, "Do it soon. He'll get stolen."
"I will do my best!" said Mo Yaoyun who nodded her head in agreement with her parents' and brothers' words. Her brother-in-law's who were already brought home could only look at each other but pitied Mo Zhinan, adopted by the Mo family, a former system of Mo Baojun.
That afternoon the Mo family and all the guests celebrated the first birthday of their youngest descendant. They had passed the time entertaining the Baby Jing'er and eating at the same time the whole afternoon. They've also made sure that the birthday feels welcomed and joyous on his first birthday. After all, this signifies his first year of stay in this world. But unfortunately, though Baby Jing enjoyed the party his smile disappeared as he didn't see his favorite person. It's been a week and so since the last time, Xia Jieye had come to visit him at night.
Looking at Hei Anjing suddenly looking lethargic, they thought that he had gotten too tired with the festive atmosphere of his birthday celebration. They could only place Baby Jing back in his room to rest ahead of time while the rest of the family members stayed in the dining area to eat dinner and clean up the mess for the after-party. The guests have long left even before the sun completely sets. Now in the living room, the Mo Family had gathered to rest. They had just finished eating dinner as they've assembled in the same room to talk about the sudden change of mood of Baby Hei Anjing.
Mo Yaoyun spoke, "Big Brother, is there something wrong with Jingjing? He suddenly looks sad after his birthday."
"About this... he seems to be waiting for someone," said Mo Yue but didn't know how to say you were it.
Mr. Mo spoke, "Is it that lad? The alter ego of Siwang. What is his name again? He usually came to visit our mansion every night a week ago. If not because Baobei isn't allowing him, I would have thrown him out of the house."
"My dear, isn't that boy kind? He was gentle when playing with Baby Jing and was patient and protected him all the time. Doesn't that make him a good boy? Moreover, we believe God is normal for us to do the killing so I don't truly believe the rumors about him. A'Wang, what kind of person that child is?" asked Mrs. Mo.
Their eyes all move to look at Shen Siwang except Mo Baojun who was relaxing as his husband is helping him rub his bulging tummy for overeating. The two continued that interaction while the others had watched them with a smile. The Mo Family was used to pampering Mo Baojun when he was a child plus with the child's nature of being lazy most of the time. He should simply stay at one place unless one carried him away to move in the other. This continued until he reached his teenage years. His father and Big brother are still okay as carrying him as a man is not a problem but his structure has gotten bigger than his mother and younger sister so it is almost impossible for him to be carried by them.
Mr. Mo and Mo Yue are always busy with work. Mrs. Mo and Mo Yaoyun go to school. As one is a professor and the other is a student during those times Mo Baojun was the only one around the mansion with their dog. Mo Baojun is extremely lazy by nature. There is no need for him to go to school as his intelligence is already above anyone in their family. SO he chooses to stay at home even though he is alone. Thankfully, he met Shen Siwang on one of the walks with their dog. But Clearly speaking inside of saying that it was walking the dog, Mo Baojun who was riding on the back of their Guard dog was the one walking him out of the house. This was the request of his other masters. Seeing someone spoil their youngest boy to such an extent made them relieved, at least even if he stays at home all of the time, there would be someone accompanying him.
Shen Siwang took his time before he answered the question his mother-in-law had asked.
"Xia Jieye was born at the same time as me. I was born in the Origin as he does but I came out in the world of light while he had come out of the world of Darkness. We are the opposite of each other. I received all the positive energy in this world while he took.... all the negative energy. In between us, he had seen more of the bad side and evil side of all beings. Greed, hatred, anger, jealousy, envy, betrayal, obsession, possessiveness, and death. He had grown up seeing and experiencing all of these until... he believes in nothing anymore. He only believes in me because the Origin God had made it so I and him could never hurt one another. We are like the Yin and Yang, we can only complement each other to stabilize everything in this world.
But because of this, he had become the loneliest existence in the world. He could not trust, he could not care and he couldn't love. This is because he couldn't even do those things to himself so what can he give to the other people. I cannot give it to him and he couldn't give it to himself. That's why he isolates himself in the south. He is not a bad person, it's just that his nature happens to be complete darkness which is opposite of mine which is light." said Shen Siwang.
