Wujing couldn’t believe his ears. “The students here are so busy! Now I understand why some of them they
might have behaviour issues”. Wukong disagreed with the excuses to misbehave. However, they had no
time to argue about that. They must have their mission done first. “Why don’t you go to the library by
yourself? There are some copies of Tales of the West. None of them have been borrowed while we like
playing with mobile games instead of reading.” A girl talked to them while her eyes were still focus on her
mobile phone. “Thank you!” Wukong and Wujing ran to the library immediately.
The school library had a lot of books and they had no idea how to search Tales to the West. A tall
lady in a blue dress went to them and asked them gently, “kids, which book are you looking for? Do you
forget the Dewey Classification I have taught in class?” After explaining everything to the lady, she
recommended herself to read Tales to the West to them. “Thank you very much! Msssss…” “I am Ms Au.
Anyway, could you wait till the school finishes?” “Certainly! I am going to bring Master and Bajie here
now.”

Everyone arrived the school library. “Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. It is my honour to meet
the characters in the Tales to the West and help you going back to your home!” “Ms Au, you are very
beautiful and kind! I would like to have a date …. “Wukong hit Bajie’s back to stop his naughty behaviour.
“Ms Au, please start reading the book for us.”
They felt amazed and astonished to hear all about their adventure and journey to the West, Lair of
Spider spirits, Women’s kingdom, White Bone Demon, Lotus Flower cave and so on. When Ms Au was
reading the section about how they fight with Princess Iron Fan, there was a force attracting them into the
book… Ms Au was left alone in the library.

In front of Wukong, Wujing, Bajie and Xuanzang, it was Princess Iron Fan. They could feel the
heat of the Flaming Mountain once again. They all knew it won’t be an easy battle. Nevertheless, after
being in the modern Hong Kong, they had more confidence that they could beat every demon and solve all
the difficulties and collect the Buddhist scripture in the West after all. If they could find a kind person like
Ms Au in the horrible 21 st century, no demons couldn’t be beaten! “Everyone, do not lose the hopes or
faiths to the future!“
