Feng Guang was surprised by this answer. After a long while, she finally found her voice, "Aren't you...aren't you very dedicated to your position as a priest?"
“From a young age, I was raised to be a priest. To others, becoming a high priest is the closest position to God. Indeed, I have enjoyed countless honors, but... this position is always dead, while you are standing alive in front of me.” The sundial said slowly, “Perhaps the dragon gave me instructions. I have a premonition that if I don’t hold on to you tightly, you will be taken away by someone else.”
Feng Guang chuckled and joked, "Your premonition is really accurate. I was just thinking, should I go to the palace with Mu Gui..."
"You can't go to the palace!" The sundial suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly. "Besides being of higher status than me, a little better looking than me, and a little gentler than me, what's so good about Mu Gui?"
Fengguang: "..."
Are you sure you're not praising him?
Suddenly, a look of defeat appeared on the sundial's face. He lowered his head and said listlessly, "Yes, it seems I can't compare to him in anything..."
Even though Mu Gui is prone to taking medicine and could die at any time, it is undeniable that he has a very strong personal charisma.
Feng Guang sighed, opened her arms and hugged him, nuzzling against his chest as she said, "But no matter how good Mu Gui is, I still love you."
When it comes to feelings, it's not like picking vegetables at the market, choosing whoever is the prettiest. Sometimes, what matters more is just the feeling that there's no hard and fast rule.
Forget about the mission to win over Mu Gui. Since the system didn't object to her liking the sundial, she'd take it as no objection.
Sundial paused for only a moment before instinctively pulling her closer, burying his head in her neck and inhaling her scent deeply. Gradually, he felt a sense of satisfaction, followed by an uncertain sense of inferiority. "Fengguang... is it really okay for you to be with someone like me?"
Perhaps it was a man's sense of crisis, but he could clearly sense that Mu Gui was interested in Feng Guang, and he lacked the confidence to beat a man like Mu Gui.
"I don't know if it's good to be with you like this, but no matter what, I'm happy to be with you." Feng Guang hugged his waist tightly, surrounded by his scent, which made her feel very safe.
The sundial's stiff body gradually relaxed. He paused, then asked as if seeking confirmation, "Then...would you be willing to marry me?"
"Yes, yes!" Feng Guang smiled and kissed his chin, her eyes sparkling as if stars were shining in them.
Sundial's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He couldn't resist abandoning the rules, his fingers grasping her chin as he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Before this, he had never had such intimate contact with another woman. It was his first time kissing someone, and it was with someone he liked. In addition to the tactile pleasure, he felt a great deal of joy. He couldn't suppress his happiness and deepened the kiss.
Feng Guang raised her arms to wrap around his neck and began to respond to the kiss.
Logically speaking, a man like Sundial, who rigidly adheres to conventions, shouldn't be her type. But inexplicably, she fell for this man who wasn't her ideal type, and she has always known what she wants.
