Chapter 418: 9.37 Second Blue Star – (Past) God of Void
Mo Baojun told his elder brother and his family about what happened when his disciple and his disciple’s friend dropped by for a visit this morning. They were all entertained and wanted to try it too. They’ve called one of the servants in the house and allowed him to carry Baby Jing’er as expected he indeed started crying.
Mr. Mo said, “This kid is too smart.”
“Little Cutie~ that was such a nice cry. I thought grandma would never hear our Baby Jing’er cries like that,” said Mrs. Mo.
The youngest lady, Mo Yaoyun said, “There is something I wanted to try.”
Everyone looked at Mo Yaoyan who changed her appearance to another person’s face and carried her nephew after. They saw that Baby Jing’er had stared at Yaoyun as if analyzing her but he didn’t cry and closed his eyes to sleep. Obviously, Baby Jing knows who she is and could still recognize her as his aunt no matter how she looks.
Mo Yaoyun look at her eldest brother, Mo Yue with a stunned expression on her face and said, “Big brother, my little nephew is amazing~”
With a helpless smile on his face, Mo Yue carefully took over for his son and said, “Sshss~ don’t wake him up. He’s been crying all day now.”
Mo Baojun approached them and placed his husband’s hand above the head of his little nephew.
“Hubby, Heal him, please. Remove his fatigue,” said Mo Baojun.
On the other hand, Shen Siwang did as he asked and healed the little one. Once they did so the sleep of their little baby had become even more stable. They all smile seeing Baby Jing’s ease smile in his sleep.
Mo Baojun, “Now it’s better. Sweet dreams Jing’er~”
Mo Yue had placed Baby Jing in his room and let him sleep peacefully that night. While the adults were out for dinner, Baby Jing was sleeping in his crib with his adorable eyes closed. His features show evidence of his bloodline, especially those phoenix-shaped eyes that his family possessed.
Baby Jing was sleeping peacefully when someone entered his baby room. He just comes out from the shadows. His features were a bit like Shen Siwang but more fierce and his gaze was sharp as if he is always angry. His almond-shaped eyes were a bit squinted as he stared at the small creature within the crib. He stood beside the crib like a shadow looming over Baby Jing.
His long hair was like a fall of darkness behind his back. His robes were also black in color. If not for his inner white robes he would be dark all over. This man is the God of Void called Xia Jieye.
Xie Jieye glared at the small thing inside that he could end the life of the little creature by just stretching his arms inside the crib and strangling it with a single hand. He really did what he thought. He reached out his right hand intending to end the little one’s life.
Who would have expected that Baby Jing would suddenly open his eyes, startling the God of Void and halting his movements? Within the darkness, the only thing Baby Jing can see is that pair of scarlet eyes peering on him. It looked so beautiful within the darkness and felt like a polish garnet floating within the room.
Baby Jing’s eyes show joy seeing those eyes. He wasn’t like the other baby’s, he is a God-born baby and even if Xia Jieye looks fierce he would never be afraid. He even reached out his fatty hands to try to touch the God of Void but he instantly pulled back his hand when he felt the warm touch of those miniature hands of Baby Jing.
KYYYAAAH~ HAHAHA~
The God of Void stares at the little creature wagging his hands in the air towards his direction. He stares down at the little baby with a sharp gaze as if a beast staring at his prey. He couldn’t understand why this little one isn’t afraid of him. He thought only Shen Siwang and the Mo Family wouldn’t show fear towards him.
But this weak and small creature could crush with one hand his round blue eyes looking at him. Within those sapphire orbs are happiness that Xia Jieye never had seen before. Everyone who looks at him would show fear regardless of what he does. His crimson eyes terrified anyone who would meet his eyes. As if it was like his eyes were dyed in blood taking in the same shade of it.
The God of Void murmured, “Weird little one. You indeed have the blood of your Mo Family. You weren’t even afraid after seeing my eyes… My name is Xia Jieye, at least remember the name of the person who will kill you.” He was preparing to leave after saying those words to a baby.
Baby Jing on the other hand was about to cry as he couldn’t touch him at all. Then seeing him about to leave, Baby Jing Those round eyes had misted and big droplets of tears were about to pour down on his chubby face.
Wu~ wu wu wu~
Seeing this the God of Void frowned and grabbed the baby’s mouth and shut it up. He thought this would make the little one cry louder but it wasn’t as he expected. Baby Jing who successfully grabbed his finger happily giggles when Xia Jieye grabbed his mouth. He could even feel the toothless gums of Baby Jing.
“You don’t have teeth yet? What are you, a toothless little creature?” What didn’t the God of Void notice that his expression slightly softens when he plays with the little baby.
Baby Jing on the other hand started sucking on his finger. Babies are like this: they would instinctively suck on anything that was near their mouth. The God of Void was shocked in the beginning as this was the first time he saw a baby. Most children would cry in his presence. Baby Jing is a rare case as he is born to differentiate those he likes and dislikes at first sight. Clearly, likes Xia Jieye at first even though he is not his family member.
The God of Void could understand why he has so much patience towards this little thing. It was so small that he could kill it with one hand yet, this little thing is so warm like a mini warm bottle. He carefully carried Baby Jing in his arms like how he had seen Shen Siwang before.
He had always been watching this family from far away. Of course, there is no way they didn’t notice his presence, especially his alter ego. But Shen Siwang is letting him watch his family as if… He treats him like his real brother. Unguarded and full of trust. He couldn’t understand why but felt uncomfortable in his heart yet it gave him satisfaction at the same time.
Baby Jing was very good at keeping himself balanced. When Xia Jieye carried him in his arms, he was more playful than when his parents or relatives carried him. In the embrace of the God of Void, he couldn’t help but pull lightly at his black hair. The baby obviously likes the hair that he put in his mouth.
Seeing this Xia Jieye frowned a bit and gently pried his hair from the little mouth’s toothless gums and got him his pacifier letting him suck on it. The small and the big ones stared at each other without a word. One has eyes with sapphire hues, round and adorable while the other is fierce fiery red flames in color. But it had a deeper shade than fire and was much closer to blood.
Only when Xia Jieye noticed the return of the Mo Family did he put down the baby back in his crib. He wanted to leave right away but his hair was caught within those small flabby hands. Tears were once again urged to come out from those round eyes as he stared at him. Seeing this his eyes couldn’t help but be mellow as he gently took away his hair from Baby Jing’s hand.
Xia Jieye whispered as he kissed Baby Jing’s forehead, “Don’t worry little one. Xia will see you again next time. Don’t cry~ shss~”
The tolerance and gentleness he shows this baby is very rare. After all, Baby Jing is the only baby who didn’t cry under his gaze.
“Close your eyes and sleep, Jing’er~” He whispered with a coaxing voice. Unexpectedly, Baby Jing fell asleep. Only after gently wiping the baby’s tears with his fingers that he once again disappeared within the darkness.
It was at that time that Mo Yue and He Sian entered the room to check on their son. Following behind them are Mo Baojun who had a cold expression as he glanced at his husband who was avoiding his gaze and clamped his lips together in a thin line.
Mo Baojun, “He drops by to see Jing’er and you let him be?”
“Don’t worry. Even if he hates our family, Xia would never hurt a baby,” said Shen Siwang with a gentle smile.
Mo Baojun, “I cannot understand why you want him to see Jing’er and believe that he wouldn’t hurt him.”
“In the future, you will understand why wifey. Don’t get angry, okay?~” said Shen Siwang.
Hmp!

Ever since then the God of Void would always look after Baby Jing at night. Because of this, the little one would always be sleepy in the morning. The others thought that since Hei Anjing is still in his growth phase that he needs more sleep and didn’t mind it much.
Only Mo Baojun and Shen Siwang knew that Xia Jieye would always come at night to entertain the baby. After observing him for a few days, Mo Baojun half-heartedly believes that Xia Jieye wouldn’t harm his little nephew and turns one eye close in his trespassing action at his own house.
It didn’t take long for Xia Jieye to get attached to Baby Jing. That he most of the time not in his place and his subordinates would be having a hard time looking all over for him.
Some time at dawn, Xia Jieye had returned to his mansion with a rare smile on his face. His subordinates couldn’t help but shiver upon sight. Is this still their Evil God, the Void God who is notorious for his cruelty and mercilessness.
Just his name alone can leave people suffocated. He is the most ruthless God in Vearth and the only one who could stop him is the God of Origin, Shen Siwang, his alter ego. The Ye Gui whom he made to work for the Origin God would always come over to report to him. At that time, the current Young Head of the Ye Gui race is Ye Mo.
[A/n: Ye Mo is Gui Xiajun and Ye Xiajie’s father. He is only a teenager at this time. He was the one who reported to the Void God about the action the Ye Gui had made.]
Ye Mo respectfully welcomed back his lord.
“Greetings! You’ve returned, My Lord. Are you still visiting that baby in the Mo Clan?” asked Ye Mo.
The smile on his face faded and coldly stared at Ye Mo.
“Who allowed you to tail this Lord? Did you think your life is too long and wanted this lord to instantly cut it short hm~?” said Xia Jieye.
The icy gaze on him made Ye Mo flinch and knew that he had overstepped his boundaries. He immediately fell on his knees and begged for forgiveness.
Ye Mo pleads, “It was this one who had spoken wrongly? Please be forgiving and spare the life of this one!”
“Sure~ I’ll spare your life,” said Xia Jieye but he waved his hand and Ye Mo’s left arm was cut off at once.
HISS!
Ye Mo couldn’t help but hiss in pain but except for that sound he didn’t even pick up his detached arm on the ground and continue to lower his head. Standing in front of him is the God of Void who is apathetic as he looks down on him like a stone in the road, uninterested and callous.
The God of Void spoke, “Your life shall be spare but… A punishment needs to be given. Who allows you to care what this lord does? Next time this lord will cut off your head. No need to report for tonight. Clean the place and leave.” he walks away ignoring the crippled one whose life he spared.
Ye Mo responded, “A-As you wish… My Lord…” but within those eyes were hatred hidden within that amiable smile. He absolutely hated the Void God even though he was the one who made them.
After all, the Ye Gui race is made by Xia Jieye’s source. His main elements are Fire and Darkness. When they were made almost all negative emotions were used as a Catalyst on making them added was the most despicable and distorted sentiments. This is the reason why the first generation of the Ye Gui is not only sinister and heartless.
