Chapter 444: 9.63 Second Blue Star - Cousin-in-law told me to give him nightmares.
The appearance of the Dream God was not a surprise as Alu this dream creature had called his Boss as this scary beautiful man had ordered him to.
[Yawns* Why aren't you talking, Alu? HM!!!]
The languid eyes of the Dream God suddenly widened in shock.
Hei Anjing's silver eyes narrowed upon meeting those sky-shaded eyes the God of Dreams possessed. There is a cold smile in the corner of his lips yet he looks sweeter than honey in this appearance. But only those who knew Hei Anjing so well that the sweeter his smile is the angrier he does.
Mo Yaolan this sleepy Dream God jolted awake by his elder cousin brother's smile. He was now sitting properly on his knees as he exposed an obedient expression on his face saying I'm a good boy. No one is more obedient than I do.
[C-Cousin? Jing-gege why... Did you come to s-see, Yaolan?]
Hei Anjing crossed his arms and showed the overwhelming black clouds behind him. His smile widened as he asked, "Did you order this? Why are you giving endless nightmares to your own Cousin-in-law?"
The words his cousin had told him left the Dream God bewildered. He was stunned as if he couldn't understand what his Cousin Hei was talking about.
"What's with that expression? Did I say something weird? Is my question so hard to answer?" asked the God of Destruction.
[No. Impossible. The target is Cousin-in-law!? This cannot be possible after all the one who told me to send nightmares and gave me the content of nightmares is my cousin-in-law himself.]
"A'Xia asked you? How did you know that he is my husband? He had always been with me in this mid-tier world and didn't even leave this realm much less enter your domain." said Hei Anjing. "Are you sure it was your cousin-in-law who told you so?"
Mo Yaolan responded, [Of course, I even asked Papa (Shen Siwang) about him. Papa introduces him to me and Big Brother as his sibling by origin. So we call him Uncle Xia. Ah no since he is your husband he should be called Brother Xia but Papa says that Uncle Xia is his brother. Urg! So what should I call him, Cousin-in-law or Uncle?]
Hei Anjing was startled to hear his cousin call his hubby as uncle plus the fact that his husband is his Uncle Si's brother rendered him speechless. Even he didn't know that Ye Xiajie had a connection to his Uncle.
"My husband is... Uncle Si's brother? Is this true?" asked Hei Anjing.
[Ah~ Cousin Jing-gege don't worry. Daddy (Mo Baojun) says that they weren't related by blood but were born on the same origin and time as Papa so they considered each other as siblings.]
Hei Anjing was quiet for a while as if digesting the information his younger cousin had just told him. Though he knew that his husband's strength is too much for a mere Nether God he wouldn't have expected him to be a former Ruler God and one that is connected to his Uncle Si, the God of Origin.
He mumbled, "Uncle Baobei said that his memories as a baby were sealed off by his Uncle Si. Is this the reason why my memories when I'm a baby are missing? Seems I need to unlock it sometime in my free time."
[Cousin Jing-gege, is there something wrong?]
Hei Anjing replied, "Nothing is wrong. Just get this thing and remove my husband's nightmares. The one who had asked you to do this might be his soul fragment. It is just him punishing himself. Sigh~"
He passed the dream creature in his hands towards the clouds and a slender white hand came out from it. It was the God of the Dream's hands. Mo Yaolan waves his hands once to remove the nightmare clouds and grabs the Alu Creature and pulls him out of his Cousin-in-law's Soul Domain.
"Don't let others enter my husband's Soul Domain even if they are your servants. That's dangerous." scolded Hei Anjing.
Mo Yaolan nods his head in agreement, [I will not do it again, Cousin Jing-gege.] Then he stared at him as if he wanted to ask something but was hesitating about it.
His blue eyes stare at his cousin's silver ones.m but not a single word comes out of his lips. It was slightly opening and closing but no sounds came out.
"Speak. Just ask if you have some questions," said Hei Anjing.
Even though this young brat before him is expressionless like he does, he could still clearly read his thoughts based on his eyes. They possessed the same deadpan expression; it would be weird if they couldn't read each other.
[Jing-gege, what does it feel like when you've met your other half?]
"Are you interested, Lanlan?" asked Hei Anjing with a teasing smile. At this moment, Hei Anjing truly looks like a mischievous elderly who likes to tease an innocent little bun. But as a Mo, Hei Anjing knew what kind of curiosity his younger cousin had.
The other half of Mo isn't a simple existence. They were the source of life, one that would help them exist in this world. The life of a Mo is dull, lonely, and colorless. They do not feel any emotions except for their family and treat all strangers not different from a single blade of grass in the corner of the road.
In short, they were emotionless beings that are no different from machines. Since they don't sympathize with others, they can be cruel enough with their actions, especially towards punishment. Once they've made the decision it wouldn't be possible to change it.
They were initially strong at birth plus with their immortality, they are almost invulnerable. The only downside of their clan is that Holy elements don't work on them. The wounds on their bodies would heal normally but fatal wounds would still hurt a lot. So sometimes Mo whenever they received a fatal wound that could be healed would choose to kill themselves. Only once they died that all their wounds would heal and their immortality would bring them back to life. The Mo is not only cruel to others but also towards themselves.
Their physical structure would only change once they've married their chosen other half. The existence of their other half is their strength as well as their greatest weakness.
They were able to become their strength. This is because the couple would be able to share their abilities. This includes their thoughts, lifespans, and skills. If their other half is able to control light elements the Mo Descendant's vessel would be transformed to be able to accept the Holy element. Though it would be able to heal wounds, Resurrection using holy elements is impossible.
They are also their greatest weakness because their immortality would be sealed in the presence of their other half and if their other half chose to kill a Mo, it would be easy to do so as only they could harm them.
Though this part made it disadvantageous for the Mo Descendant, they would still choose to love their other half as they are their source of happiness and humanity.
Hearing the teasing tone of his elder cousin Mo Yaolan couldn't be helped but pout. Despite his emotionless face, his slightly bulging cheeks make him cute, making Hei Anjing laugh.
[Cousin Jing-gege stops being playful! Can't you just answer my question?]
Chuckles~
"Okay. There is no explanation. It would just hit you without preparation. When you meet the one who is fated for you, you feel something beyond your control. For us whose control over our emotions and everything is almost close to perfection, meeting your other self would mean losing control over yourself.
Lanlan, when I met your Cousin-in-law my memories were sealed by your Daddy. I couldn't remember him, not even his name. I also didn't know at that time why I was supposed to enter a world-hopping journey with Zhi Yue. I only agreed at that time because I was bored or else I would have taken my leave without question if I truly did not want to do it.
But in that first world where we met, our first meeting was truly unbelievable. When our eyes met for the first time there was a sudden spark that electrified his body. It was a new feeling but left him speechless. My heart that never went out of my control suddenly beats fast as if it had life itself. Unexplainable emotions are coming out of my soul. Only afterward did I understand that it was yearning and obsession.
Once you met him you would not understand a thing and you also wouldn't know what to do. But regardless of the confusion, you will have no other choice but to accept it and tell yourself. Ah, What the hell is this?" storied Hei Anjing and gave Mo Yaolan a knowing smile.
The God of Dreams has a confused expression on his face. He was bewildered and had a disbelieving expression on his face but Hei Anjing just laughed at his reaction.
[Are you saying there is no logical explanation? Only I would instinctively feel that... He is the only one when I met my other half? This sounds stupid~]
"Hahaha* I think you will eat your own words when you meet your other half. Only when you meet the one destined for you will you remember my words right now," said Hei Anjing.
Mo Yaolan's expression was nonchalant as he truly couldn't understand his elder cousin's explanation. The only reason he asked this question is that he saw his parents, uncles, and grandparents' sickening sweetness when interacting with each other. At home, he, his elder brother, Aunt Mo, and baby Jingxia were also left at the corner of the house watching them acting lovey-dovey without caring for the world.
He would usually ignore it and just think of grumbling eating dog food every day after all single dogs had no rights at home. Thankfully there is a little baby at home whom he can play with.
[Okay. Enough. Since I don't understand it I will just wait for that time to come. By the way Cousin Jing-gege, Baby Jingxia is missing you and Cousin-in-law when are you guys coming back?]
Hei Anjing's smile slightly faded when Mo Yaolan asked, "Soon. Tell Xiao Jing he would be seeing his father soon. Tell him I love him so much and miss him a lot." Just thinking of his darling son's lovable face Hei Anuing couldn't stop himself from missing him but sadly he couldn't see him at this moment. Their enemies are still out there for them.
[Don't worry, Cousin Jing-gege, I will tell the baby. You should get going soon. Your husband is about to wake up. I also need to get going now. See you later, Jing-gege.]
Then the communication made of clouds dispersed and the Soul domain of Ye Xiajie had returned to normal. Hei Anjing walks towards the white tree made of ice and snow. He touched it with his hands and forehead and passed his qi into it. His face visually turned even paler and weaker but the smile on his face is gentle.
Hei Anjing murmured, "The last trial of marriage. Dao Companionship. As long as we completed that you should be waking up soon in reality, my love. Three more worlds, I could still bear it for that long~"
