Xingji stiffened, tightened his grip on Fengguang's hand, but then slowly released it, bowing his head and saying, "Your Majesty."
As soon as he let go of her hand, Fengguang immediately returned to the sundial's back. Seeing Xingji glance at her again, she snorted in a bad mood.
The sundial gently moved her hand, completely shielding her behind him.
Mu Gui said with a laugh, "Xingji, you seem to have scared our lovely Fengguang girl."
Feng Guang was taken aback, finding the modifier Mu Gui had given before his name rather puzzling.
Fengquan couldn't help but speak up for Xingji, "Your Majesty, there must be a reason why the High Priest would act this way."
"Oh?" Mu Gui looked at Xingji with a smile. "I wonder what could have caused such a high priest, who is usually so proper and disciplined, to do something so impolite?"
Xingji pursed his lips and remained silent for a while. After a moment, he said, "It was I who was momentarily bewitched and did something that violated etiquette. I am willing to accept the punishment."
"High Priest!" Feng Quan couldn't help but exclaim. He couldn't understand why Xingji, who always lived by the rules, would do such a thing, and he couldn't understand why he would accept punishment without even explaining. So, he turned his attention to Feng Guang. She must have done something wrong to make Xingji act so abnormally.
Feng Guang, who was unjustly blamed, twitched her lips. Heaven and earth bear witness, she did nothing at all, yet Xingji inexplicably grabbed her hand. He kept saying that she did something to trigger his heat cycle prematurely, but she did nothing when she passed by him. Was even her breathing wrong?
Xingji lowered his head and remained silent, only his hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists. Undeniably, his body was currently in an extremely uncomfortable state, something any man who has experienced heat would understand.
Mu Gui wasn't in a hurry to punish Xingji. He smiled and looked at Feng Guang, "What is Miss Feng Guang's opinion on this matter?"
"Of course I don't like it..." Feng Guang blurted out her feelings without thinking. When Mu Gui asked her how she felt, she didn't know what else to say besides "I hate it and don't like it."
Mu Gui smiled slightly upon hearing this, “Xingji is the High Priest of our Nan Cai Kingdom, representing the image of our entire Nan Cai Kingdom. If he makes a mistake, then of course he cannot be dealt with leniently. But the victim is Miss Fengguang, so I would like to ask, how does Miss Fengguang intend to deal with Xingji?”
Kill him?
No, no, no, it hasn't come to that yet.
Feng Guang glanced at the sundial, and the sundial's gaze conveyed to her was, of course, as serious as possible. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then let him work in the kitchen for three months."
Isn't Xingji always high and mighty? To make him do such menial work, he would probably consider it an insult to his entire life.
"Is this alright?" Mu Gui asked with a smile.
After watching the show for a while, Hua Zhouzhou said, "Of course it's not good!"
Mu Gui then asked, "What is the goddess's opinion?"
"It's obvious, Xingji likes the scenery."
The moment Hua Zhouzhou said this, there was an instant silence.
Xingji was the first to come to his senses, and he hurriedly denied it, "Goddess, don't talk nonsense!"
He admitted that the scenery could evoke physical changes in him, but he didn't think that was love. He couldn't possibly like people because he was a priest serving God and was devoted only to God.
