Kang-Jin Star#

Loong maiden, Kang-Jin fair, White horns by emerald sea. Ambition beyond mortal care, Grace unmatched, wild and free. Black and white entwine, Old friends hard to find. Under wind's blade and frost's cold blow, She dances still in swirling snow.

Despite Kang-Jin Loong's long wait, no constellation officer defended to her aid.

Yellowbrow laughed, "You, young lady, your high opinion of yourself is precisely why you've ended up like this, an utter loser." Kang-Jin Loong replied, "As long as I haven't begged for mercy, winning or losing is irrelevant."

Not antagonized, Yellowbrow said calmly, "You wouldn't take such a risk just for that lookout cockerel. You must be curious about that monkey."

Kang-Jin Loong remained silent.

"1 do have something of that monkey's, right here in this sack." With that, he untied a sack from his waist.

Kang-Jin Loong recognized it as the sack that had once captured them and scoffed, "What's so special about it? It's not like I haven't been in it before."

"Well.. If you really want to know about him, you'll have to see for yourself." With that, Kang-Jin Loong was sucked into the sack.

As she entered the sack, she seemed to see a ten-tailed goldfish swimming towards her.

Not long after, when Yellowbrow released her, the constellation officer had become dazed and bewildered.

Seeing this, Yellowbrow laughed heartily, "Well, is he still the hero you remember?"

Kang-Jin Loong asked, "Is he, along with all the gods and Buddhas in the Celestial Realm, all like this?"

Yellowbrow neither confirmed nor denied it.

After a long while, Kang-Jin Loong suddenly knelt on the ground and uttered, "Please, Master, accept me as your disciple..."
