The golden rainbow dispersed.

Whoosh—

Dan Jing appeared outside the Lunar Star, standing hundreds of millions of miles away from the sisters Xi He and Chang Xi.

Then—

He took another step and, without the slightest abruptness, calmly appeared just a few paces away from Xi He and Chang Xi!

Seeing Dan Jing draw near.

Ripples she could not hide flowed through Xi He's beautiful eyes. She stepped forward directly, taking the initiative to approach Dan Jing.

She softly said:

"Dan Jing, you finally came."

Dan Jing, who had been about to greet her first, paused for a moment upon hearing Xi He's words.

Then—

He lightly nodded.

"Mm, I came!"

At the side.

Chang Xi also took the initiative to greet him.

"Dan Jing, long time no see."

After saying that.

The corners of Chang Xi's lips rose slightly, her eyes curved into crescents, and she revealed a lovely smile.

Seeing the smile on Chang Xi's face, Dan Jing was briefly stunned.

He nodded in response.

"Long time no see!"

Honestly—

Chang Xi, this "three-little" goddess with few words, few expressions, and few emotions, had suddenly shown him such a lovely smile. For a moment, even Dan Jing had been dazzled by her beauty.

But in the next instant—

Dan Jing sensed a faintly subtle feeling of "danger" winding around his heart!

Something was off.

No matter how he looked at this pair of peerlessly beautiful sisters, something about them seemed rather strange!

Could it be that they...

Wanted to become Dao companions with me, appearing in pairs and making a trio together?

That was it.

Logically speaking—

He should have borne witness to the Heavenly Marriage with either Xi He, Chang Xi, or both sisters together. Not only would they become Dao companions, they would also become the Primordial World's first married couple!

Indeed.

Dan Jing did not have such thoughts right now, but that did not mean Xi He and Chang Xi lacked such thoughts!

At this thought.

Whoosh—

Dan Jing's thoughts instantly turned solemn.

Being friends was fine!

But if they wanted to take things a step further?

That would not do!

Dan Jing was not someone who hemmed and hawed. The moment he realized this, he immediately decided to make things clear.

Dragging things out might not only bring him unnecessary trouble, it would also be disrespectful toward Xi He and Chang Xi, this pair of peerlessly beautiful sisters.

He truly was shameless, arrogant, overbearing, thick-skinned, petty, and all that.

But Dan Jing was absolutely not some scummy bird who would string other goddess maidens along with ambiguous relationships!

Thus.

Dan Jing's expression turned serious. Looking at Xi He and Chang Xi, his golden eyes were filled with gravity and sincerity.

He spoke bluntly:

"The Sun and Lunar Stars nourish and complement one another."

"Between the two of you and me, our Great Daos coexist. We are a match made by heaven and earth, Dao companions destined to remain by each other's side!"

"However, aside from pursuing the Dao and having fun, I have no plans to become Dao companions with either of you."

"Of course—"

"If the two of you wish to discuss the Dao with me and make progress together, you may come to the Sun Star to find me."

"Except when I am not on the Sun Star, I am always on the Sun Star!"

That speech was—

Upright and aboveboard, crystal clear, open and forthright!

Dan Jing truly had little interest in finding Dao companions or bearing witness to the Heavenly Marriage.

At the very least, at this stage, he had absolutely no such intentions!

He might have the confidence to stay out of the Calamity Cycle.

But just as he had warned Haotian

In the Primordial World, without strength, there would ultimately come times when one could not act as one wished!

Dan Jing's confidence was one thing.

But when it came to strength—

He was still a little lacking!

Regarding the coming Calamity Cycle.

From a strategic standpoint, Dan Jing still maintained a measure of readiness for battle!

Therefore.

He did not intend to leave himself with any weaknesses!

At this moment.

After hearing Dan Jing's forthright and blunt words, Xi He was stunned for a moment. Then, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Th-this-this—

She had not even made a move, yet he had already seen through all her intentions?

After recovering herself.

Xi He pursed her lips, and a faint sense of disappointment unexpectedly rose in her heart!

The sun was wonderful.

But it was truly hard to handle!

Though Chang Xi at the side was surprised, she was not particularly taken aback.

In her eyes—

Dan Jing was a very clear-sighted and straightforward person!

Although his conduct and many of his actions had always displayed arrogance, recklessness, and shamelessness.

As long as one thought carefully about it, one would realize that Dan Jing possessed restraint beneath his arrogance!

He was a true wise man whose great wisdom hid beneath a mad exterior!

Therefore, Chang Xi was not surprised that Dan Jing had seen through what she and her elder sister felt toward him.

After all, they had not gone out of their way to conceal it!

Only.

What surprised Chang Xi was—

Dan Jing had actually directly and plainly told the two sisters: I am not interested in Dao companions!

For a moment, neither she nor her elder sister knew how they should respond to Dan Jing's words.

After a brief silence.

Xi He recovered herself and spoke with graceful poise.

"Is that so?"

"Then when my younger sister and I have time, we shall visit Fellow Daoist at the Sun Star."

As for Dan Jing's nonsense about "except when I am not on the Sun Star, I am always on the Sun Star," she simply pretended not to have heard it.

At the side.

Chang Xi nodded.

"That works too!"

The sisters' Great Daos coexisted and resonated with Dan Jing's. Discussing the Dao more often would be highly beneficial to both sides.

Going to the Sun Star more often to discuss the Dao with Dan Jing would benefit both sides, and it was no great matter.

What was this called?

If the sun would not walk toward me, then I would walk toward the sun!

"As long as I am there, the two of you are welcome to visit anytime."

After responding, Dan Jing raised a hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. A scroll of gold foil and jade appeared in his hand.

He raised his hand and sent the gold foil jade scroll before Xi He and Chang Xi.

With anticipation on his face, Dan Jing smiled and said:

"This is the 'big business' I mentioned before. As long as the two of you cooperate with me and establish the laws governing the Lunar Star's movement, it will be a complete success!"

Speaking of his plan.

A trace of pride and ease inevitably appeared on Dan Jing's face—

This time, he had comprehended it first and perfected this opportunity, so he would claim the lion's share of the Heavenly Dao Merit!

He would enjoy a beautiful feast from it as well.

Hahaha...

Xi He and Chang Xi looked at the gold foil jade scroll Dan Jing had delivered before them.

Merely performing a rough calculation of its contents made their spiritual platforms leap, and they sensed this opportunity in their hearts.

The opportunity was real!

And Dan Jing had not lied. This was indeed a great opportunity!

Leaving aside how much Heavenly Dao Merit there would be.

Simply broadening the weight of the sun, moon, stars, and the entire starry sky within the Primordial World and the myriad heavens and worlds after completing this opportunity would be enough to bring the sisters considerable benefits.

The Lunar Star would certainly receive more fortune, and the entire starry sky's fortune would also bless them.

Of course.

There was no doubt—

Dan Jing, the planner, and the Sun God would definitely take the lion's share of those benefits!

But what the sisters could receive would absolutely still be an oceanic amount.

Furthermore.

Once this opportunity was completed, the Heavenly Dao Merit they could obtain, no matter how little there was, should be enough for the sisters to sever their second corpse, right?

It definitely would!

Since that was the case—

What was there for the sisters to hesitate over?

After Xi He and Chang Xi exchanged a glance, they both looked toward Dan Jing.

They nodded and said:

"Alright!"

This project...

Their Lunar Goddess Sisters Team—

Was in!
