A sundial is merely a priest. Among ordinary people, he certainly holds an extremely noble status, but no matter how noble, he cannot compare to the ruler of a country.
Yes, that's true.
Sundial's eyes were fixed on Feng Guang, who was still unconscious. He couldn't help but think that she had been so close to him just a moment ago... If only he had discovered Xingji's true strength sooner, if only he had recovered his strength sooner and taken Feng Guang away... But reality doesn't allow for "if onlys".
"You said... it doesn't matter whether Fengguang is a goddess or not..."
Mu Gui nodded and smiled, "That's right."
“Then let’s make a bet.” The sundial said indifferently, “Whether it is Dongyang Kingdom or Nancai Kingdom, both need the goddess to summon the dragon. And the most important thing in summoning the dragon is how strong the goddess’s wish is.”
Before Mu Gui could speak, Xingji, who also held a divine position, scoffed, "Summoning a divine dragon is no easy task. The right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable. It's not something that can be achieved simply by wanting to summon a divine dragon."
“Hey, sundial…” Hua Zhouzhou’s face was not good. “Don’t make bets so casually. You know… I don’t have the ability to summon the dragon at all.”
The sundial looked at Hua Zhouzhou and said, "I only need one wish."
"What?"
"The dragon has appeared, and I can grant the goddess two wishes. I beg the goddess to grant me one wish."
Hua Zhouzhou didn't know where Sundial's confidence came from. This was something she herself was completely uncertain about, but after glancing at the unconscious Feng Guang, Hua Zhouzhou gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
The sundial formed a hand seal, and a golden array appeared beneath Hua Zhouzhou's feet. He said coldly, "Calm down. Don't think about anything except summoning the dragon."
“I understand…” Hua Zhouzhou closed her eyes and began to try to call out the name of the dragon in her mind. When she first transmigrated to Dongyang Kingdom, the sundial had tried to perform a ritual to summon the dragon for her more than once, but before that, she was only thinking about going home and could not calm down no matter what, so she failed every time.
But today is different. She told herself that if she didn't succeed, not only might Sundial die, but Feng Guang might also be imprisoned by Mu Gui for life. She didn't want that outcome.
Xingji looked at Mugui and said, “Your Majesty, there is no need to waste any more time. The sundial is not a simple person. He is the high priest of Dongyang Kingdom. If he dies, Dongyang Kingdom will inevitably be thrown into chaos, which will be a good thing for Nancai Kingdom.”
“I remember…” Mu Gui raised the corner of his eye, “Xingji never interferes in national affairs except for matters related to gods. Why has he suddenly changed his mind today?”
Xingji lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am acting in your best interests."
"Then I'll have to trouble Xingji with this. I have my own plans, so you don't need to say anything more."
“Yes…” Xingji took a step back and stopped speaking. He had tried to perform rituals for Hua Zhouzhou quite a few times, but Hua Zhouzhou had never succeeded. He did not believe that Hua Zhouzhou could really summon the dragon this time.
Surprisingly, the sky over Nan Cai Kingdom, which was usually covered by dark clouds, suddenly revealed a ray of golden light. Xingji was stunned, while Mu Gui laughed with amusement.
In the midst of the quiet atmosphere, golden light drove away the dark clouds. As the light grew brighter, a dragon's roar pierced the sky, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
Hua Zhouzhou opened her eyes and saw a golden dragon circling in the sky. She exclaimed happily, "I did it!"
