After a long while, Mu Gui laughed, a joyful smile appearing in his eyes. Then, he tightened his grip on her chin and said in a deep voice, "It's alright. Fengguang is different from other women, but just like all women in the world, in front of a man with absolute power, you can only unwillingly become an appendage."

"So what?" She didn't cry out in pain, her eyes showing no fear.

"So regardless of whether you like me or not, and who you love, all I need to do is take you back. However... before I take Fengguang back to the palace, I need your help... no, I need you to do me and Shen Yue a favor."

She gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you want to do?"

“What I want to do is very simple.” Mu Gui smiled, took Feng Guang’s hand and walked towards the door. “Feng Guang will understand soon, but I guess you will not be willing to help with this.”

Feng Guang was forced to stumble and stagger behind him. She also saw the scene around her. The once bustling temple was now deserted, with not a single palace maid or eunuch in sight. Her unease grew, and she looked up and asked, "Where is the sundial?"

"No need to rush, you'll see him soon." Mu Gui smiled, his mood was truly excellent as he thought about the scene that was about to unfold.

Before long, Fengguang was led to the main hall of the temple. The guests who had come to offer their congratulations were no longer there. In the magnificent and empty hall, there were only a few people.

Hua Zhouzhou, Xin Ye, Feng Quan, Shen Yue... and the sundial standing in opposition to them.

When the sundial saw Feng Guang enter, its gaze turned cold as it said, "Let her go!"

“You have no right to order me around,” Mu Guiyou said, pulling Fengguang closer to herself.

With her vital points seized and all her strength gone, Feng Guang realized what Mu Gui wanted to do with her. She shouted at the sundial, "Sundial, don't worry about me, protect yourself!"

Upon hearing this, the sundial's heart suddenly softened.

“Everyone’s here,” Shen Yue said with a smile. “Then our show should begin.”

Hua Zhouzhou glanced at Feng Guang with concern, then mustered her courage and said, "No matter what you want to do, this has nothing to do with Feng Guang!"

Shen Yue glanced at Xin Ye, who reluctantly stepped forward and pulled Hua Zhouzhou aside again.

Mu Gui smiled and said, "Although everyone is here, there is still one person who has not arrived."

Shen Yue looked up. "Aren't we already here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden dragon appeared out of thin air.

The dragon's first glance was drawn to the scenery. He snorted through his nostrils and said in a rather annoyed tone, "Although it is inappropriate to involve a mere human in matters of gods, you are so stubborn that I have no choice but to resort to this tactic."

Feng Guang spat, "You just don't want to admit you're blind, so you're trying to kill me to cover it up, aren't you!"

"Am I that kind of dragon?!" The dragon was furious. It was about to sweep its tail, but before Mu Gui and Shen Yue could stop it, it stopped. Then it got even angrier because when it saw Feng Guang's face, it found that it couldn't bring itself to do it. So it could only snort again, "I don't argue with women."

Shen Yue said, "Let's deal with the important matters first."

Shenlong then remembered that he had come to do something important. He chose to ignore the scenery for the time being and looked at the sundial. After a pause, he said in a complicated tone, "It's been a long time... Father."
