Chapter 644: Journey to the West: Zhu Jiumei 3
An Yanbing and A Mao's outstanding performance in the martial arts training field amazed everyone present. This scene happened to be seen by the great elder of the sect.

The elder stared at An Yanbing and Amao with a sharp gaze, thinking to himself: These two are gifted. If they can be taught carefully, they will become great men in the future. He flashed and appeared in front of the two.

"Would you two like to take me as your master?" The Great Elder's voice was steady and powerful.

An Yanbing and A Mao looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise, and they knelt down and kowtowed: "Disciple is willing!"

The Great Elder nodded slightly, tapped the two men on the head three times with the cane in his hand, then turned and left.

An Yanbing and A Mao were stunned at first, then A Mao scratched his head and said, "What does this mean?"

An Yanbing was smart and whispered, "This may be a test from the elder. Does he want us to go find him at three o'clock tonight?"

Ah Mao blinked his eyes: "Who cares? Let's try it first!"

In the dead of night, An Yanbing and A Mao quietly came to the room of the great elder.

The Great Elder had been waiting for a long time. Seeing them, he smiled and said, "Yes, you have passed the first test. But if you want to truly become my disciple, there is still a second test."

"Please tell us, Elder. We will do our best!" An Yanbing said firmly.

The great elder waved his hand, and a door of illusion appeared in front of him: "Behind this door is the thing you fear most in your heart. If you can overcome your fear and walk out, you will pass the test."

An Yanbing and Amao walked into the door of illusion side by side without any hesitation.

Inside the door, An Yanbing fell into darkness, with sinister laughter echoing around her. The scenes of being bullied by fellow disciples kept appearing in front of her eyes, and those mocking words echoed in her ears.

"You're nothing but a useless piece of shit!"

"You want to stand out?"

An Yanbing clenched her fists tightly and shouted in her heart: "I am no longer the person I used to be. I will not be defeated by this!"

On the other side, A Mao saw a monster with sharp teeth and claws rushing towards him, and he retreated in fear. But thinking that he wanted to become a strong man and pass the test with An Yanbing, he roared and rushed towards the monster.

After struggling in the illusion for an unknown amount of time, An Yanbing and Amao finally overcame their inner fears with their tenacious will and walked out of the door of the illusion.

The elder looked at them with satisfaction: "From today on, you are my disciples. Xiaozhu, you are the ninth child in the family, so you will be called Zhu Jiumei from now on. And you," the elder looked at A Mao, "will be called Sun Wukong."

"Sun Wukong, Senior Brother is actually Sun Wukong." Before An Yanbing, now Zhu Jiumei, could figure out what was going on, a woman's voice rang in her mind: "Congratulations to the host for starting the main quest. The host's next task is to find the rest of the senior brothers and sisters and the master, and then protect the master to go to the West to obtain the scriptures."

Zhu Jiumei was shocked, but quickly calmed down.

Sun Wukong jumped up and down excitedly: "What a good name, so domineering!"

The Great Elder looked at them and said solemnly, "Now that you have entered my school, you must study magic well. The road ahead is full of dangers. Are you ready?"

Zhu Jiumei and Sun Wukong said in unison: "Disciple is not afraid!"

A monkey and a pig followed the Great Elder to learn magic and soon they were transformed into humans. The Great Elder gave Zhu Jiumei and Sun Wukong some magic weapons and secret books and asked them to go down the mountain to gain experience.

The two walked in the bustling city, full of curiosity about everything around them.

"Brother, do you think we can find other brothers and sisters and the master?" asked Zhu Jiumei. She had already told Sun Wukong about the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures.

Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and said, "Of course I can. I think this is destined."

Suddenly, there was a noise in front of me. I saw a group of bullies bullying an old vegetable seller.

Without saying a word, Sun Wukong rushed forward and started punching and kicking the bullies, beating them till they were pissing and shitting themselves.

The old man was filled with gratitude: "Thank you two young men for your help."

Zhu Jiumei smiled and said, "Old man, you don't have to be polite. It's our duty to help those who are in trouble." As they continued on their way, they met another mysterious old man. The old man looked at them with deep eyes and said, "You have a mission and the road ahead is difficult, but as long as you keep your original intention, you will succeed." Then he disappeared.

Zhu Jiumei and Sun Wukong became more determined in their beliefs.

On this day, Zhu Jiumei and Sun Wukong came to an ancient temple.

The temple is filled with a mysterious atmosphere, and the walls are covered with strange symbols.

While exploring the temple, Sun Wukong accidentally triggered a mechanism, and a secret room appeared before them.

There is a yellowed book in the secret room, which records some clues about the journey to the West.

"Brother, look! This may help us find our master and other brothers and sisters." Zhu Jiumei said excitedly.

Just as they were about to study the scroll carefully, a noisy sound came from outside the temple. It turned out that a group of monsters smelled their breath and surrounded the temple.

"Haha, we're in for a treat today. Two young handsome guys came." The leading monster said with his fangs bared.

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with anger: "Monster, stop being so arrogant!"

Although Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei successfully fought off the monsters, it took a lot of effort. Zhu Jiumei panted, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said with lingering fear: "Brother, we can't do without weapons. Every time we encounter monsters, it's so difficult. Why don't we go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to borrow weapons."

Sun Wukong's eyes widened and he scratched his cheek: "Go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea? That Dragon King is not easy to mess with."

Zhu Jiumei's eyes turned and she said with a smile, "Brother, what are you afraid of? If we act carefully, we will succeed. Besides, if we can get a weapon that suits our needs, we will be more confident in exorcising demons in the future."

Sun Wukong thought for a moment and felt that what Zhu Jiumei said made sense. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then I will go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea with you."

The two of them flew through the clouds and mist, and soon they arrived at the East China Sea. Looking at the rough sea, Sun Wukong was a little worried: "How can we go down?"

Zhu Jiumei smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, just watch me." After that, she took out a water-repellent bead from her arms and pulled Sun Wukong into the sea together.

The underwater world was so beautiful, with colorful corals and strange-looking fish and shrimps that the two were dazzled. But they did not dare to delay and swam straight towards the Dragon Palace.

At the gate of Dragon Palace, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were on full alert.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Dragon Palace!" a crab general shouted, waving his big claws.

Sun Wukong stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "I am Sun Wukong, and I come to borrow some weapons today."

The crab generals laughed loudly: "You hairy monkey, you dare to come to the Dragon Palace to borrow weapons? How dare the Dragon King pay attention to a nameless person like you!"

Sun Wukong was immediately furious: "You little crab, stop looking down on others!"

Zhu Jiumei hurriedly stopped Sun Wukong and said to the crab generals, "Brothers, please inform them that we have an important matter to ask for your help."

Seeing that Zhu Jiumei spoke sincerely, the crab generals sent a shrimp soldier in to report.

After a while, the shrimp soldier came out and said, "The Dragon King invites you."

Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei followed the shrimp soldiers into the Dragon Palace. Inside the Dragon Palace, there were jewels and precious stones, and it was magnificent. The Dragon King sat on the throne and looked at them coldly.

"What do you two want from me?" the Dragon King asked majestically.

Sun Wukong said straight to the point: "Dragon King, my master and I are in urgent need of weapons to subdue demons and monsters. I hope you can lend me a few."

The Dragon King sneered, "Humph, you? Are you worthy of using my weapon?"

Sun Wukong's eyes widened in anger: "Dragon King, please don't look down on me!"

Zhu Jiumei said quickly: "Dragon King, we are really asking for your help. If we can lend you weapons, we will definitely repay you in the future."
