The girls were quite understanding with his decision of giving Tianshi this Fate Spirit . She was the weakest from the group with the least fighting experience so Xuefeng prioritized her this time . Having something that could help her in need would greatly lessen the worry in his heart .
As he planned on convincing the new Fate Spirit to join them willingly, Xuefeng gathered his team of Fate Holders as well as Tianshi and entered the temple with confidence .
But, he didn't expect that instead of receiving a scolding or some initial insults, Xuefeng would be greeted politely .
"I was waiting for you boy . Welcome . " The interior of the temple was filled with the lady's voice as if she was talking to them from all sides . "It's a rare phenomenon to find someone's future change as abruptly as yours . "
The temple wasn't spacious, having only one exit tunnel inside which was blocked halfway by a transparent barrier . Just as they neared it, they were discovered by the Fate Spirit .
"Mhmm, thank you . " Xuefeng displayed basic courtesy before getting straight to the point . "Then I guess you know what we came here for . "
He expected an affirmative answer yet the Fate Spirit didn't fulfill his wish .
"I know, but I'm sorry . I don't share any future with you . " The Fate Spirit rejected politely . "Also, you already have other Fate Spirits anyway so you will do well without me . "
Xuefeng wasn't mad at her and continued to convince her .

"Us having such a powerful group should actually be a reason to join us . Are you planning to stay here forever?" He asked as he walked up to the barrier, touching it .
He quickly received Drakos' confirmation that he can consume it easily, exactly what he wanted .
"No, I don't but I know my destiny . As you came with the lady that once visited me, you should know I can foretell the future . Though, when you touched the barrier, I didn't feel anything as if your future is constantly changing . I won't be useful to you . " The Fate Spirit tried really hard to explain . "Please leave . "
The last two words of hers were definitely not something Xuefeng wanted to hear . He glanced at Nuwa, Xiao Wen and Yi before taking Tianshi's hand .
"What about her?" Xuefeng pressed Tianshi's hand against the barrier, trying to test something but the Fate Spirit didn't change her opinion .
"Her future is surprisingly similar to yours . They seemed to be entwined with each other, making it extremely cloudy as well . " She sounded as if she was a little bit curious but something was stopping her . "Anyway, that doesn't change anything . You all can leave . I can't help you . "
'Little Ming, Ling, can you two convince her in any way?' Xuefeng asked in his mind, thinking through his options .
'I doubt she will listen . Spirits like her are loners, separated from the Fate Kingdom for thousands of years . She won't consider me as her Queen, especially with my current body . ' Little Ming replied sweetly . 'I think that my big sister could think of something but she is tired now . I don't want to wake her up…'
Even though Ming and little Ming were just two different personalities, they treated each other like sisters .

'No, it's okay . I have another idea . ' Xuefeng rejected her proposal, knowing that Ming already helped him enough recently .
"Do you enjoy living here with those people worshiping you?" He asked out of blue, changing the subject .
"I don't mind it . At least they keep away any pests and don't bother me too much . " The foretelling Fate Spirit found the question weird but replied honestly, wanting to satisfy them and make them leave sooner than later .
"Mhmm, what about your powers . I am interested . Even if you can't tell my future, you can still foretell about others, am I right?" Xuefeng questioned once again .
This time, the lady Fate Spirit smelled something was wrong and didn't answer straight away .
"What are you trying to achieve asking those questions? …Even if I can, I won't . Each foretelling requires a lot of Fate Qi, I won't waste it . " She didn't resist for long, exposing another vital information, making Xuefeng smile .
"So that's what you are worried about? Maybe this place is a spot which provides you with Fate Essence and that's why you don't want to leave?" Xuefeng voiced out his theory while secretly contacting Ling . 'Can you check the area for any sources like that?'
'I'm on it . ' She immediately got to work, even before Xuefeng finished his sentence .
When he didn't get an immediate response, Xuefeng realized he was spot on . Though, just as he wanted to question her again, the lady's voice resounded in the temple .
"Wait!" She was suddenly up to talk it out . "Stop your spirit . It is indeed such a place . There is a treasure underneath this mountain that provides me with nine elements but its barely enough to feed me . It's not that great . "

'She is telling the truth . There is something underground . Her barrier extends down there . ' Ling reported after she finished her investigation, finally leading them to culmination . Xuefeng had a move up his sleeve that this Fate Spirit couldn't resist .
He grinned to himself and pulled out eight Fate Stones, holding them in between his fingers . The word confidence was written on his forehead .
"You see, I have a lot of this stuff… Isn't that exactly what you want?" Xuefeng asked as he waved with his hands left and right, showing off his riches before throwing the stones with a flick, sending two stones to each lady in the room .
"Also, I take good care of my women . They usually get a few thousand stones every month . " He muttered as he hugged Tianshi into his arms, caressing her cheek with care . "It could be yours if only you decided to join us . Imagine how much foretelling you could do…"
Before she said anything, Xuefeng turned around and announced to the ladies .
"I guess we are not welcomed here . Let's return back to the capital . " He acted cool and walked towards the exit with others following after him .
Luckily, Xuefeng wasn't wrong this time either .
"Wait!" The same voice that stopped him before resounded once again . "We didn't finish talking . "
'Hehe, I knew it . ' Xuefeng thought with enjoyment as he halted before asking sarcastically . "Didn't you ask me to leave earlier?"
"Doesn't matter . You can't expect me to believe you this easily, right? Anyone can pull out eight Fate Stones . If you can't prove your words are true then I can't risk this much . " The Fate Spirit approached the conversation cautiously .
"It would be easy for me to prove by just pulling them out," Xuefeng muttered as he turned around . "But if you can't even foretell this much then maybe you are really no use for me . I might as well just let my spirit absorb you and be over with it . "
Xuefeng didn't look like he was joking when he walked up to the barrier which stood at that place for many years and broke it with just a simple touch . The barrier started losing power as if someone was sucking the energy from the inside before breaking after a slight push .
The Fate Spirit was too shocked, feeling her barrier crumble after barely a second and only reacted after Xuefeng entered her cave, walking towards the golden crystal placed on the rock platform .
"Fine! I agree! I will join you!" She quickly called out, slightly in panic . Too bad that Xuefeng was up to give her a lesson first .
"Too late . I already changed my mind . " He muttered with a shrug and walked up to the crystal with the intention to grab it .
"Nooo! I'm sorry! I will join you guys and connect with your woman! I will be a good Spirit!" She now regretted rejecting Xuefeng in the first place .
The Fate Spirit prepared for the worst, knowing she didn't have much fighting ability but what she expected didn't happen .
Xuefeng picked the golden crystal before giving it to Tianshi after he returned to the hall .
"Remember you promised to be good . " He reminded, happy with the outcome .
