Sworn Siblings

At that, Xihe's expression shifted. She had a favorable impression of Di Jun.

However, unlike her younger sister Changxi, she was more reserved and subtle.

She agreed with her sister, but decided to take things slowly. "Sister, we can catch up with them, but we can't be too direct."

"Then what should we do?" Changxi asked, displeased. She didn't like beating around the bush.

"Come closer. Let me whisper something to you. We can..."

Meanwhile, Li Mo was making plans in his mind.

[This time, my strength improved after the lecture, and plenty of powerful figures have taken notice of me. On top of that, Jun Ge gave me the White Rainbow Sword, so I'm well-known now. I can't keep going like this, or when the War of the Liches begins, I won't be able to escape even if I want to. I need to find a chance to take my master and slip away from the Demon Race.]

[But my master is determined to help Di Jun unify the prehistoric world. He might not listen to me.]

All those thoughts fell into Di Jun's ears.

Knowing Li Mo intended to slip away, Di Jun naturally wouldn't agree.

Thanks to Li Mo, he had learned plenty of information ahead of time.

If Li Mo left, wouldn't that be a huge loss for him?

No! He had to find a way to bind Li Mo tightly to him and change the course of the world.

But what should he do?

Promote him when they got back?

Di Jun had countless little soldiers under his command, and plenty of official posts to hand out.

But that might provoke Li Mo and make him run off early.

Di Jun racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good idea.

If he wanted to tie Li Mo to himself, all he had to do was give him what he wanted.

Thinking this over, he nodded and struck up a conversation with Li Mo. Then, quite naturally, he brought up the subject. "Li Mo, do you have any hobbies?"

"Hobbies? I suppose I do. I like arranging flowers and playing with jade. But I've never actually tried it." He trailed off and shook his head.

[Poor me, Li Mo. I'm still a virgin even now!]

Di Jun froze and glanced at Li Mo. He'd thought "arranging flowers and playing with jade" simply meant tending to flowers and plants.

He hadn't expected it to carry such a suggestive meaning.

Looks like he needed to find a great beauty to give Li Mo.

And she couldn't be low-status! She had to be close to him, too.

As he was pondering, two voices suddenly rang out.

"Daoist friend Di Jun!"

"Daoist friend Di Jun!"

Their voices were as pleasant as wind chimes. Even Di Jun couldn't help turning to look.

"The sisters from the Moon Star!"

[Damn! Two beauties have arrived. That's Changxi and Xihe, the Moon Star sisters. Tsk, tsk, those curves, those bountiful...]

Li Mo spared no praise.

[Di Jun really is lucky! Those Moon Star sisters will both be his women someday. Xihe will give birth to the Ten Golden Crows, and Changxi to ten lunar goddesses.]

My women? Do they both have feelings for me?

They were traveling much more slowly than they had on the way there. Di Jun even signaled Tai Yi to wait for the two immortals.

"Daoist friends, why have you called out to us?" Di Jun asked with a commanding, imposing air.

[Damn, Jun Ge! Why are you still acting like that around two beautiful women? Can't you be a little gentler?]

Li Mo was speechless.

Changxi clasped her hands and pleaded, "Lord Di Jun, please save my sister and me. When we left the Purple Sky Palace, we saw Donghua Daoist, Dong Wang Gong, rallying the innate divine beings. But neither of us wishes to follow him. We've also heard that Donghua Daoist is no decent man. He'll surely force us to submit."

Xihe added, "That's right. We hope we can follow Daoist friend Di Jun, and we ask you to accept us. We'd rather choose for ourselves whom to follow than be forced into it. The Sun Star and Moon Star are so well matched, too. I'm sure you'll treat us as your own, won't you, Daoist friend Di Jun?"

[You'll do far more than treat them as your own! In time, you'll fall in love and turn them into first-rate troublemakers. As the saying goes, men love water, women love trouble.]

Li Mo grumbled inwardly.

Di Jun's mouth twitched. What was Li Mo going on about now? He was a dignified Three-legged Golden Crow. How could he like playing with water? He liked playing with fire!

Wait!

Li Mo was still a virgin. If he gave the two women to Li Mo, wouldn't that bind him to the two brothers?

Would Li Mo still be able to help him wholeheartedly in the future?

After thinking it over, Di Jun was delighted. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Of course. It's our good fortune that you two wish to have us brothers protect you. To be honest, we brothers also intend to unify the prehistoric world, and we'll likely need your help in the future."

"To show our sincerity, why don't we become sworn siblings today?"

At this, Tai Yi and the Xihe sisters were stunned. Even Li Mo's mouth twitched.

[What's going on in Jun Ge's head? Does he have a thing for incest, too? He wants to become their sworn brother, and someday they'll all be spouses sharing the same bed. Still, they're not blood relatives. Jun Ge's just trying to get closer to them. I'm impressed by his flirting skills.]

Li Mo smacked his lips, thoroughly impressed with Di Jun.

Di Jun's mouth twisted, and he nearly fell right out of the sky.

He roared inwardly, What are you even talking about?

I'm just trying to get closer to the sisters and make them consider me one of their own.

"I wonder what you two sisters think?" Di Jun asked again.

"Since our elder brother has asked, we naturally won't refuse! Big brother, second brother, your little sister is here." Xihe bowed slightly.

"Big brother! Second brother! Third sister!" Changxi cupped her hands and greeted them.

"Second brother, third sister, fourth sister!" Di Jun returned the greeting, delighted.

Having two Grand Unity Golden Immortals join them made him incredibly happy.

"Big brother, third sister, fourth sister."

Xihe: "Elder brother, second brother, fourth sister!"

Di Jun: "Second brother, third sister, fourth sister."

For a moment, the scene became utterly ridiculous.

Li Mo's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

[Stop, stop, stop! What are you four doing? You're just calling each other whatever comes to mind! Are your brains so simple you can't keep track?]

Bai Ze was completely dumbfounded.

Hearing Li Mo's teasing, Di Jun immediately stopped speaking.

A moment later, the other three realized they'd gotten their titles wrong, and their faces filled with embarrassment.

It was mortifying.

After a while, they all headed back together.

Di Jun even invited Changxi and Xihe to visit the Sun God Palace, and they agreed.

Before they had even drawn close to the Sun Star, the demons nearby were already cheering.

"Lord Di Jun and Lord Tai Yi are back!"

In the Star Gazing Palace, Shang Yang sprang to his feet.

The two lords were back, which meant Bai Ze and Li Mo had returned, too.
