At the edge of the underworld, two women hide among the flowers on the other shore.
One has lost her husband, and her son is being bullied. Her soul is nearly scattered, yet she refuses to be reincarnated.
The other has been cursed by Athena for thousands of years. She doesn't even dare open her eyes to cry.
Gao Cuilan says, "Why don't you come back to Gao Village with me? I'll cook for you."
Medusa says, "...My eyes turn people to stone."
Gao Cuilan says, "It's fine. My husband has thick skin."
Later, they travel from the underworld to Gao Village to Olympus, clear their sisters' names, show her son the wider world, and, along the way, bring about the first joint office between the Eastern and Western divine realms.
The gods all ask, "Who exactly is this Eastern lady?"
Zhu Bajie scratches his head. "My wife really wasn't like this before..."
Only Cupid, frantically taking notes in a corner, understands:
- So the highest form of love is fiercely protecting your own.
