When Fengguang is in a good mood, she'll treat you well; when she's in a bad mood, she'll ignore you.

Just like now, a man and a woman sit on the threshold under the eaves, neither looking at the other, only watching the people coming and going on the street. One or two are noble people in fine silks and satins, but most are old people and children in coarse linen clothes. The young people have all gone to help with disaster relief, and rebuilding houses also requires a lot of labor.

The floods have caused a major disaster, and even business is slow. Feng Guang looked across the street at the stall selling trinkets; the entire morning, he only had two customers. In this world, no one is having an easy time.

Just as the two were in silence, the sundial suddenly heard a question: "Do you also have heat cycles?"

The sundial was taken aback at first, then blushed and said awkwardly, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm just asking, what's wrong?" Feng Guang looked up at him. "Do you also have heat cycles?"

"Do you know... do you know what this question means?" His face flushed, and his ears turned completely red.

Feng Guang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be... that it means I want to sleep with you?"

The sundial raised his hand to cover his eyes and took a deep breath.

She suddenly couldn't help but laugh, finding his shy demeanor quite amusing. She moved closer to him and whispered, "I guessed right, didn't I?"

"Hmm..." The sundial lowered its hand, and when it looked down, it saw her resting her chin on her hands, looking at it with amusement. The heat that hadn't subsided on her face rose again.

Feng Guang tilted her head and asked, "Does everyone here experience heat cycles?"

“That’s right…” The sundial knew she wasn’t from this world, so it was normal that she didn’t know. Rather than letting her ask other people out of curiosity, he might as well tell her everything, so as to save others from feeling embarrassed. “Men are eighteen and women are sixteen. From the time they reach adulthood, they will have a heat cycle at certain times. The heat cycle varies from person to person. Some people will have it in the spring, and some people will have it in the autumn.”

"What if they haven't found someone during their heat cycle... I mean, they haven't gotten married?" She deliberately used a more euphemistic way of putting it.

"The body will feel very uncomfortable, and it will be very difficult to resist the temptation."

She recalled Mu Gui's pained expression and gained a little understanding. She smiled meaningfully, "You understand these feelings, so you must have experienced heat cycles too, right?"

The sundial began to look around, but avoided looking at her.

"I said you look like you're not young anymore, you could get married."

"As a priest... in order to serve God, one should maintain a holy body."

"Oh, so you're still a virgin."

The sundial turned its head away, so that no one could see its expression.

Feng Guang thought for a while, then blurted out, "I am a goddess, and you are to serve God, which means you are keeping your body holy for my sake?"

Having been called a goddess for so long, she seemed to have forgotten that she was an imposter.

After a long while, a faint voice came from the sundial, "Please... stop talking."

"Why?" She seemed oblivious to his embarrassment and deliberately pressed him for an answer.

Sundial felt a headache coming on, and it would be best for him to leave. But just as he was about to get up, a carriage came up at the door, splashing mud and water on the ground. Sundial instinctively reached out and pulled Fengguang into his arms, using his body to shield her from the splashing mud.

Once everything calmed down, he realized what he had done. He looked down and his eyes met hers. He saw his reflection in her eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
