“ Master ! Master ! Please ! Please ! I need your help !” Ba-jie poked his head into the Xuanzang ’ s room . Seconds later , Xuanzang was going to finish all the homework in Molly ’ s room .
As Xuanzang touched the page of the exercise book , a rope suddenly sprang out of nowhere and bound him tight .
Molly appeared out of thin air . Her eyes , unlike what they saw in the hall , were sparkling with excitement , “ I am a spirit , who want to eat Xuanzang ’ s meat so badly !”
At that time , Wukong couldn ’ t find his master all over the palace and intuitively suspected Molly . Wukong turned into a bee , flew into Molly ’ s room and saw Xuanzang bound in the ropes .
“ How dare you , devil spirit !” Wukong shouted , raised his Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod and banged violently on Molly .
Molly mooed like a cow when Wukong attacked her , but she didn ’ t start a battle with Wukong . Instead , she put her maids in a trance and ordered her hundreds of maids to fight with him !
The maids strongly hurled Chinese worksheets , Mathematic exercise books and hundreds of other copy books to Wukong . Numbers and characters whizzed in circles in front of Wukong ’ s eyes . Wukong felt dizzy with a splitting headache . It was hard for him to concentrate .
Wukong managed to fight back . But no matter what magic he used , Molly was still sitting in her thronelike chair , not a hair damaged . Wukong was vulnerable . He was thinking of retreat when —
Guanyin appeared in the sky on her lotus throne , said in a soft voice :
With great sorrow , I am sorry . I have let my pet cow lose , And it sneaked down to The mortal world My pet , Kong cow , Please think about What you have done During your stay In the mortal world You ordered all your maids to do What you should have done by yourself One should take responsibility of their own You will pay for what you did Now came back to my side , Kong Cow
Hearing this , Princess Molly shook with fear . Guanyin flicked a drop of sacred water towards her . A shower of golden rays falling upon her , she immediately returned to her true form , a golden shiny cow .
Guanyin flicked another drop of sacred water towards Molly ’ s room . Xuanzang and the real Princess Molly walked out and kneeled down on the floor . They said “ thank you ” to Guanyin wholeheartedly . Then , Guanyin led the golden shiny Kong Cow and disappeared in the midst of a blue sky .
