Suddenly, a beautiful young maiden appeared. A sad expression was written on her face. It was Meiling! The group started to tell their story, but she cut them off. ‘I know. I told him that you were here.’ She said. The group’s jaws were dangling wide open. ‘But…but why?’ WuKong asked. ‘I’m sorry, but my husband is searching for the fulfilment too. I don’t want to help him, but he forced me to tell him when he threatened to kill my father. I was very scared at that time, and I told him that you would be here.’ Meiling bit her lip, and she started to cry. The once angry travelers now felt sorry for her. They patted her shoulder and Bajie even hugged her. She stopped crying then and gave them a small smile. ‘You are good friends.’ She said. She wiped away her last tear, straightened up and said, ‘It’s okay though. You can still find it first. Follow the green trail of leaves and you will see the fulfilment.’ She hugged them and disappeared. At last, the team got there and gave the fulfilment to the gods. They made the team, and also Meiling and Mika immortal, and the six of them also became gods. Meiling’s former husband, however is now the one who is trapped in the Five Elements Mountain for eternity, which made everyone, especially Wukong, very happy.
