Wukong - The Story Behind the Name II

"Master, have you heard? There's talk of a woman possessed by a vengeful spirit, leaving blood in her wake wherever she goes." The first time he laid eyes on the woman from the rumors, he was struck by her beauty—delicate, graceful, utterly enchanting. Yet, she was stained with crimson, a jarring sight. After narrowly shaking off the military and fleeing to Mount Huaguo, she broke down in tears. "I... don't remember anything. Not since I let that burning force take over..." Her gaze was filled with disbelief at her own actions, and fear of the unknown power inside her. Most would shun a bloodthirsty soul, but he didn't care. He saw himself as the strongest, the very embodiment of the Fighting Buddha, and was sure he could handle her, no matter how wild she became. Driven by his fascination, he chose to hide her away in Shuilian Cave. Little did he know, the gentle eyes he'd fallen for had already turned cold and empty.
