Mu Gui reached out his hand, but could only touch the hem of her clothes. He saw her turn around, saw her back as she walked across the battlefield, and finally saw her fall into the man's arms.
She was held tightly in the sundial's arms, displaying a demeanor he had never experienced before, so Mu Gui sighed and slowly lowered his empty hand.
No one cares what happens to him anymore.
Meanwhile, the sundial was bathed in the glow of the sun, and she didn't care what looks people had of her. If it weren't for Shen Yue's appearance, she might have already been captured by Mu Gui. Under Mu Gui's watchful eye, she believed her chances of escaping were slim. But now she was back by his side, and nothing could be better.
Sundial carried her away from the battlefield. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then gently kissed her lips, lingering for a moment before ending the long kiss. But he didn't leave; instead, he asked, his lips close to hers, "Are you alright?"
"No, I'm fine." Feng Guang leaned in and kissed him again. "Sundial... I was just thinking, what if I really got captured, and you got killed by him? Thankfully, none of that happened..."
"It was my carelessness that frightened you. It's alright... I will never let you be in danger again." Sundial didn't know how many people in this world were more capable than him, but he was certain of only one: he would sacrifice everything, even his own life.
Feng Guang sensed his determination. She rested her face against his chest and let out a deep breath. The weight in her heart finally lifted. She didn't care about what the battlefield would be like, what the casualties would be, or what fate awaited Mu Gui.
When it comes to relationships, once she's committed to someone, it's very difficult for her to let another man stay in her heart.
Her terrifyingly devoted attitude towards relationships destined her to be someone who wouldn't be a person of many loves, and therefore, Mu Gui could never be someone she would worry about.
The war had reached a fever pitch, but the people of Nan Cai Kingdom were fighting and retreating. Feng Quan saw that Mu Gui was injured and had no will to fight anymore. Moreover, they had already suffered heavy casualties in their efforts to capture the Divine Dragon, and continuing to fight would only be detrimental to them.
Xingji's purpose was only to stop Mugui from harming the dragon, and he did not intend to kill him. Although Mugui was seriously injured, and his weak constitution made his injuries even more severe, it was not impossible for him to survive.
The assassins slowed Xin Ye down, allowing Feng Quan to reach Mu Gui's side. Xing Ji had already disappeared, and he had no time to worry about that. He hurriedly protected Mu Gui and led her away under the cover of the assassins.
Xin Ye wanted to give chase, but Shen Yue said, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy. This is the territory of the Southern Color Kingdom, and their reinforcements will arrive faster than we will."
Although Xin Ye was unwilling, he had no choice but to stay. He raised his hand and ordered his subordinates, "Quickly release the dragon."
"Release it?" Shen Yue smiled. "General Xin is mistaken. How can we release the dragon so easily when such a golden opportunity has presented itself?"
Hua Zhouzhou, standing nearby, quickly said, "Your Majesty, you don't also want to eat dragon meat, do you?!"
Shen Yue glanced at the couple standing idly by on the other side, then looked at the dragon with a smile in his eyes. "How could I do something so unrefined as to eat dragon meat? I just... wanted to use the dragon's scales to make a nice outfit."
Shenlong: "..."
He only came out to fulfill two wishes for the goddess, and who did he offend?! Either they want to eat his flesh or pluck his scales!
