When Feng Guang woke up again, it was already late at night. She was lying in bed with a blanket covering her. After thinking for a while, she realized that this was the sundial's room. She sat up in bed and looked around. Just like the sundial, the furnishings in his room were very simple.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, staring blankly at the night view outside the window, until a moment later, the sound of the door opening rang out, and she opened her arms to be embraced.

The sundial kissed the top of her head and asked, "How long have you been awake?"

"Not long after..." she sighed contentedly, "Where did you go?"

"I went to see His Majesty."

She instantly perked up and looked up to ask, "Did you go and tell him about our marriage?"

“Not bad.” The sundial sat on the edge of the bed, pulled her onto his lap, and said softly, “After you fell asleep, I felt more and more that things might go wrong. I asked His Majesty for permission late at night. I thought His Majesty wouldn’t see me, but I didn’t expect that he would see me anyway.”

"Did he agree?!" That was all she cared about. "Did he agree to our marriage?"

The sundial smiled and gently stroked her cheek. "His Majesty has agreed."

"That's wonderful!" Feng Guang beamed with joy, then asked, "When will we get married?"

"His Majesty said we could choose a date ourselves and just let him know," the sundial continued. "Naturally, I have also resigned from my position as High Priest."

The high priest must maintain a holy body; this is the rule, and the rule cannot be changed. Therefore, the sundial can only relinquish its position as high priest and become just an ordinary priest in the temple. Although it is still a divine office, it is also the position furthest from God.

Fengguang gave him a rewarding kiss, "Do you have a Chinese almanac? Let's pick an auspicious day soon!"

Like the sundial, she also worries about having too many dreams in her daily life.

The sundial smiled and patted her head. "There's no rush. It's getting late, you need to rest."

Will you sleep with me?

Her impromptu invitation made him blush. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Fengguang, there's a difference between men and women..."

"Aren't we getting married soon?" she asked innocently, but what she was thinking was not so simple.

The sundial then said with difficulty, "But we are not married yet. Doing this... I'm afraid it will cause gossip and damage your reputation."

"Do you think that after we disappeared together for so many days, and now you're telling His Majesty you want to marry me, no one else will think anything of it?" Feng Guang looked at him with amusement, and what he said was indeed true.

The sundial fell silent; faced with her taking such initiative, he didn't know what to say.

Feng Guang got off him, lay back on the bed, turned her back to him, and casually said, "You'd better think it over. If you refuse this time, it won't be so easy for you to sleep with me in the future."

Sundial stiffened, feeling conflicted for the first time. If others knew that he had refused an invitation from a beautiful woman, they would probably say he was clueless about romance. But he didn't think about that. All he was thinking about was whether refusing would really prevent him from sleeping with her after he had his moment in the spotlight.

If he were in heat... wouldn't he find it extremely difficult to endure?

Seeing that he remained motionless for a long time, Feng Guang, with his face turned towards the wall, let out another heavy snort.

Helpless, Sundial could only sigh, take off his shoes, socks, and coat, and get into bed, sleeping on the outer side.
