One month later.

11 people were in the main hall of the Red Dragon Moon Sect and the mood of the person holding the meeting was not good, not good at all. He was furious!!

At the head of the hall sat a man adorned in a crimson robe—with a dragon coiled around a moon embroidered on it, his hair was jet black and trailed all the way down to his butt, and his bright brown eyes that emitted a death glare.

His stare was directed at a girl dressed in a white robe with gold embroidered stars on it, but what was more eye-catching was that she was bleeding from her eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

She was gifted as an oracle prodigy but standing in front of Kang Rong she was just like a human with no cultivation.

Her cultivation base was at the second stage of the Half Martial Emperor realm and did not stand a chance against Kang Rong.

"Sect Master Kang Rong, please—believe me, this lowly one would not dare lie to you."

Kang Rong: "Nonsense!!"

"Please believe me," she fell to the ground, bowed down on her knees and begged Kang Rong.

When she arrived, she was asked by Kang Rong to find his fated one, and so she tried, but she could find no trace of Kang Rong's fated one.

Furious and irritated, he lowered his cultivation to the fifth stage of the Half Martial Emperor realm and released it into the air, forcing his pressure onto her which led to her bleed.

Originally he wanted her master—the Celestial Oracle Penna, to tell his future, but he was sent this little girl.

He hadn't believed in her power from the start and to have her tell him that his fated one does not exist—naturally, he lost his composure.

The oracle prodigy's life was about to end when a green glow emitted from her body and shield her from the pressure she was put in, she caught her breath, stood to the side and bowed. An image of a person stood next to her, it was a beautiful dark-skinned woman with yellow hair, blue eyes and adorned in a yellow gown.

"Kang Rong."

Kang Rong: "Oracle Penna, I see you finally decided to join us."

Penna: "I am sorry I could not make it in person, that's why I sent my disciple in my stead."

Kang Rong: "Your disciple isn't worthy."

Penna: "I beg your forgiveness."

Kang Rong: "Will you accept my request?"

Penna: "You've made things difficult for my disciple already, knowing your temperament, you'd kill her if I don't help you."

Kang Rong looked at the image of the Celestial Oracle Penna but didn't say a word, because her words were true. Earlier on he was just being lenient and could have killed her with a thought but did not because he still had to give the Celestial Oracle Penna face.

Penna: "If I'm correct, your request is to find your fated one, right?"

Kang Rong: "Mn."

Penna: "Why is that? I've known you for many years, Kang Rong, you are not someone who cares about marriage and other people."


Kang Rong looked away from the Celestial Oracle and drifted off into thought, he was quiet for some time and the guardians looked at one another from across the hall then looked back at their sect master.

After an hour of silence, Kang Rong spoke: "This person will give me a hard time in the future, but I will still love her."

The guardians stood in shock. "What bullshit was this?" they thought but did not voice their opinions; their sect master has avoided love and marriage for so many years so why now?

Penna: "My disciple was correct, the person you are looking for does not exist in this world."

Kang Rong's eyes turned sharp as he looked at the Celestial Oracle Penna but before he could open his mouth to berate her she continued as she looked him in the eye and said:

"Your fated one has yet to be born, and you will only meet her in 20 years time when she becomes a woman."

Kang Rong: "Where will I meet her?" he asked anxiously.

Penna: "She will be born the daughter of a family in the Háo fēng continent, and you will meet her by chance, but when you meet her she will be dead."

Kang Rong: "Dead? Why would I meet her when she is dead?"

Penna continued: "Killed by the fierce beast Mountain Tiger."

Kang Rong stood up from his chair and looked at the Oracle in panic, he did not know what to say, the dream he had couldn't have been so real if his fated one were to die, how would she have spent time with him and made him love her like in his dream.

Kang Rong: "Penna, I don't understand, she is to make me fall in love with her. So, how can she be dead when I meet her, can't something be done to prevent her death?"

Penna: "Kang Rong, you shouldn't mess with nature."

Kang Rong: "In my dream she was alive, so how can she be dead?"

Penna contemplated for a while before saying: "If your dream was something about the future then, you will have to go save her before she dies at the hands of the Mountain Tiger."

Kang Rong: "When and where?"

Penna: "The Háo fēng continent, the Dagwood forest behind the cave where the Mountain Tiger lives, 20 years from now."

Kang Rong bowed his head and said: "Thank you Oracle, you don't know how much this means to me."

This shocked everyone in the hall including the Celestial Oracle Penna, Kang Rong, the man at the pinnacle of the Sovereign realm, bowed his head at a mere Oracle.

The guardians were not pleased with their sect master's behaviour and decided to voice their opinions after the Oracle had taken her leave. But before she left with her disciple she said to Kang Rong: "Your fated one has long black hair, with lips that look like a plucked rose petal, with gentle hands and a sweet face."

The tension released from his body and he could finally relax, he would meet his fated one in 20 years.

Kang Rong looked at the nine beings in front of him and his eyes turned sharp, he could see their questioning gazes and said:

Kang Rong: "Speak! We are all friends, if you have questions, ask away."

Fènghuáng: "Rong, you cannot lower yourself before those that aren't worthy to be in your presence."

Hóngsè shǎndiàn lóng: "Yes, I agree with brother Fènghuáng, brother Rong should not bow before mere Oracles."

The others all nodded their heads in agreement.

Kang Rong looked around and smiled at them, they were his best friends, they became strong together, they loved each other and now they were the guardians of his Sect.

One must know that his success was thanks to his friends. His friends who fought with him against the clans and other sects that tried taking the valley from him, his friends' opinions were something he appreciated and respected.

Èmó lièquǎn: "Never mind all that, brother, what dream was this that you had? Sister-in-law? Where is she?"

Kang Rong: "I dreamt about her a month ago and can't stop thinking about her," he answered with an embarrassed expression.

Fēng húl: "How does she look? Is she as beautiful as me?"

Kang Rong: "I don't know."

Èmó lièquǎn: "You don't know? What nonsense is that? Then how do you know who she is?"

Kang Rong: "That's why I called the Oracle."

The guardians looked at one another and shook their heads, their brother was definitely experiencing something new and to them, this was not normal.

Tiāntáng de yǎnjīng: "Should we celebrate?"

Fēng húl: "Brother Tiāntáng de yǎnjīng loves to celebrate."

Kang Rong: "I think we should wait till the day she arrives. Remember, I still have to prevent her from dying."

The Guardians looked at one another and their eyes turned sharp, all of them flashed forward to the middle of the room, clasped their palms and said in unison: "We will protect our future sister-in-law."

Kang Rong did not say anything and just smiled at the eight beings in front of him, he knew that they would use any means to keep his fated one alive, and they would protect his happiness.

Later in the day, Kang Rong went to visit his parents who were residing in the Háo fēng (Howling Wind) kingdom—beneath the havens.

When he arrived, he was greeted by two servants that led him to his parents that were recuperating in the pavilion, their eyes brightened when they saw the handsome man approach them.

"My son, you're looking more handsome each time I see you."

Kang Rong: "Mother, you haven't aged a day over 80."

The middle-aged woman blushed after hearing her son's compliment, Kang Rong's mother was actually six hundred and seventy-two years old and his father had reached the ripe age of eight hundred.

Kang Rong and his parents were from the Héxīn (Core) kingdom, but they separated when Kang Rong became his master's disciple; his parents travelled the entire world, then settled in the Háo fēng (Howling Wind) kingdom.

They regularly received visits from Kang Rong, but never visited him because danger was lurking at every corner and they were not as strong as their son, Mr. and Mrs. Kang only survived this long because of the Red Moon Dragon Life leaves and Kang Rong's alliance with the Háo fēng (Howling Wind) kingdom.

His parents could have lived with him in the Red Moon Dragon Sect, but it was not safe, due to the constant threat of attack.

He spent three days in the Háo fēng (Howling Wind) kingdom then returned home—back to the sect, and continued to cultivate, he wanted to become a True Sovereign as soon as possible.
