Shen Yue also smiled and said, "I never imagined that my father would give up his life for a beautiful woman."
At the scene, besides the magnificent scenery, the only one who could worry about the sundial was Shenji. He grabbed his father's clothes and said, "Father! You can't die! What will happen to me and Mother if you die?!"
"Sundial!" Feng Guang forgot to refute the miracle's cry of "Mother." She desperately tried to break free from Mu Gui's grasp, but couldn't. She turned around and shouted, "Let me go!"
Seeing that the sundial's spirit had almost completely dissipated, Mu Gui hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the look of disgust on Feng Guang's face, he let go of his hand.
As soon as she was free, Feng Guang ran to the sundial's side. She reached out her hand, but it passed right through his semi-transparent body. She said in a panic, "Sundial... what's wrong with you..."
"I'm just... returning to the world." A smile appeared on the sundial's pale face. He raised his hand to her face and smiled gently again. "Fengguang, don't be sad..."
“I can’t…” Her eyes filled with tears as she carefully placed her hand over the back of his hand, instead of passing it through his body again. She choked out, “Didn’t I tell you… I’m not afraid of pain… I won’t die… Why did you do this…”
"Because I'm not 100% sure I can save Feng Guang unharmed..." In his eyes, she was too precious and too fragile. If he wasn't careful, she might lose her life. He couldn't afford to gamble, so he had no choice but to make this decision.
Feng Guang wiped his eyes. "Sundial...you can't die..."
"Don't be sad," he said softly. "They say gods are immortal, and that's what mortals dream of. But immortality also symbolizes loneliness, so... I'm afraid that if Fengguang is gone and I'm left all alone, I won't be able to adapt to this lonely life again... Besides, these things have nothing to do with you, so how can I let Fengguang suffer because of me..."
"But all I want is for you to live, no matter what, I just want you to live... Sundial... I beg you, don't die..."
“I know Fengguang is strong…it’s okay…” He gently hugged her. “It’s okay…Fengguang…the pain will pass soon…”
"I don't want to!" she shook her head desperately. "Tell me, what can I do to save you!"
"Don't cry... I finally got my makeup done, and crying will ruin it all..." His fingers gently brushed against the corner of her eye, but he couldn't even touch the tears. Helplessly, he lowered his hand and gently kissed her brow. "I haven't told you yet that you look beautiful in your wedding dress."
“I want you to say that to me every single day…” She sniffled, finally bursting into tears, “Sundial… I want to hear you say I’m beautiful every single day… Once isn’t enough… not enough…”
"Life is full of helplessness and glory, and we must learn to accept them."
"Why should I learn to accept this helplessness? I don't want to!"
His body became increasingly transparent, and even his voice grew softer and softer, "Fengguang... while I can no longer protect you, I hope... you can live well... okay?"
"No!" she cried, her eyes red with tears. "I don't care who you are, whether you're human or god, it has nothing to do with me. I just want you to live! Didn't you say... we would get married, that you would take me away from the palace? Sundial, you can't break your promise..."
