Hey guys, I hate to inform you this is the last time we will be talking about The Love Legend of Zhou- Mu king and Xi-Wang mu.  Its been a lot of fun getting to share one of my favorite myths with all of you! This tale begins with Zhou- Mu king ascending the throne. He commanded 6 armies and led a expedition. He dealt with the Huns, by war and revived his kingdom. Zhou- Mu king was in an ongoing war with Quan-Rong. He began visiting many places, sea to sea. That's where he found me and our epic love story began. I of course fell in love with him, for his ambition and accomplishments. I prepared a banquet for him and afterwards we watched the sunrise and I begged him not to go. He promised he'd return when his kingdom was in order and happy again. We saw this tree and he said "let this manifest our love". Zhou asked me to leave my home and be his king, but I just couldn't. I visited once after he left. After that we didn't really see each other at all. I was told he attempted to come and see me several decades later, although he was ill and his advisors told him not to go. He ended up dying as a hopeless romantic.
