Hua Zhouzhou waved her hand, "Xingji, stop pretending. Fengguang is beautiful, and many people have secretly liked her before. It's not surprising that you like her too."
"Hey, stop talking nonsense!" Feng Guang was concerned about Ri Gui's thoughts, especially since Ri Gui's face had already darkened. She glared at Hua Zhouzhou, "Don't bring up things that are hard to talk about. Xing Ji and I have barely exchanged a few words. It would be a miracle if he liked me, okay?"
"How dare you speak to the goddess like that?" Feng Quan said with displeasure. He had long disliked Feng Guang and the sundial.
Feng Guang pursed his lips, and the sundial politely said, "Feng Guang is not good at manners, please don't take offense, gentlemen."
Mu Gui didn't look at the sundial; he just smiled, seemingly in a good mood. He asked Xingji, "Do you really like Fengguang?"
"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand!" Xingji exclaimed anxiously. "I am a high priest, how could I possibly have worldly emotions?"
Mu Gui smiled again, "If that's the case, then why were you pulling and tugging at Feng Guang just now?"
"That is..."
"Besides, Xingji, you must be feeling really bad right now," Mu Gui said calmly. "The pain of being in heat isn't something you can hide."
Xingji's face turned pale, and he was speechless.
Feng Guang raised her hand to her forehead, vowing that she never wanted to hear the words "heat" again.
Hua Zhouzhou clapped her hands and laughed, "I knew it! Xingji, you just love the scenery!"
The sundial's face darkened further.
Mu Gui said softly, "I see. Even if Xingji is a high priest who is pure and abstinent, he can still be moved by a woman he likes."
"His Majesty……"
Xingji wanted to say something more, but Mugui interrupted him with a smile, "Does Xingji have any thoughts about asking me to grant him a marriage?"
Before the sundial could speak, Fengguang excitedly stepped forward and exclaimed, "I don't want to marry him!"
Xingji, who was about to refuse, turned cold upon hearing Fengguang's disdainful words. Although he didn't intend to grant the marriage, shouldn't it be his job to express disdain?
"Why doesn't Fengguang want to marry Xingji?" Mu Gui asked casually, as if it were just simple curiosity.
Feng Guang glanced at the sundial, a smile playing on her lips, and said happily, "Because I have someone I like."
The sundial held her hand and tightened its grip slightly.
"Miss Fengguang already has someone she likes." Mu Gui smiled faintly, exuding charm and allure. "I wonder if that person is me?"
"Huh?" Feng Guang was stunned.
The sundial's expression was already quite grim.
Even Xingji stared at Mu Gui in astonishment. Not only him, but also Fengquan, who had served His Majesty for many years, were not the type to make such a joke.
Mu Gui coughed, a smile appearing on his pale face. He seemed to be in a good mood and felt quite happy. He said leisurely, "I think I have a pretty good-looking face and a good temper, especially with women. I have inexhaustible patience. Come to think of it, if Miss Fengguang likes me, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?"
His self-praise was like that of a peddler, but considering his face and his magnanimity, it's hard to call him narcissistic, because what he said was simply the truth.
Just as everyone was silent, the sundial suddenly said, "You're getting old."
