she seeks help from her master Abbess Ng Mui, a Buddhist nun who created her style of kung fu, but her master only advises her to go and live a normal life. Pok-To finds out about Wing-Chun's tomboy disguise, and tells her that he doesn't mind that she is not a traditional woman. She agrees to marry him, and accidentally realizes (when Pok-To unintentionally punches the mosquito net to repel the pests) that her "inch strike" is the key to defeat Flying Chimpanzee's "cotton belly". Using this new-found knowledge, Wing-Chun returns to fight Flying Chimpanzee again and soundly defeats the bandit boss in a final showdown, forcing him to submit to her superiority. With the bandit problem gone, Wing-Chun marries Pok-To in a wedding celebrated by the whole village.
