Chapter 011: The Miserable Honest Man

Wang Bo got a little serious, and Zhu Ganglie couldn't withstand it, being blasted away by Wang Bo's sword aura.

After landing, Zhu Ganglie roared in pain, revealed his true form, turned into a huge wild boar, and charged at Wang Bo with bloodshot eyes.

Before he could reach Wang Bo, the dragon of sword aura hovering above Wang Bo's head flew over and entangled Zhu Ganglie in an instant. Zhu Ganglie fell to the ground with a thud and slid to Wang Bo's feet by inertia.

The dragon formed by sword aura coiled around Zhu Ganglie's body, then writhed and tightened gradually, causing all the bones in Zhu Ganglie's body to groan under the strain.

At the same time, as the dragon of sword aura moved across his tough hide, it left sharp cuts.

With just a thought from Wang Bo, the dragon of sword aura could instantly slice off all the flesh from Zhu Ganglie's body, reducing him to a pile of bones.

Under the threat of death, Zhu Ganglie immediately became docile.

Wang Bo placed his hand on Zhu Ganglie's head and began to search his soul.

In an instant, Zhu Ganglie's past events surfaced in Wang Bo's mind.

Hmm, young Zhu Ganglie was indeed quite ugly, but still better-looking than now; now he's at least ten times uglier than before.

But his wife was quite beautiful.

More importantly, his wife wasn't called Gao Cuilan. After all, in this world, even Zhu Ganglie's origin had changed, so it wasn't surprising that his wife had changed too.

Interestingly, Zhu Ganglie was an honest man in life. Though ugly, he had a good heart, and his father-in-law, his wife's father, noticed this.

Once, the father-in-law ran into trouble and was saved by Zhu Ganglie, so he married his daughter to Zhu Ganglie. This also cleared up a doubt Wang Bo had.

Zhu Ganglie was so ugly, how did he manage to get married? It turned out to be an arranged marriage.

Obviously, Zhu Ganglie's wife was unwilling to marry him, but this was an ancient era of parental decrees and matchmaker's words, not a modern age of free love.

So even though Zhu Ganglie's wife was extremely reluctant, she couldn't go against her parents and married Zhu Ganglie.

From the start, their relationship was bad. He tried his best to make amends, but his wife didn't appreciate it.

Not long after they got married, his wife started cheating on him.

But constrained by social norms and her parents, Zhu Ganglie's wife didn't dare to cheat openly at first. However, as time passed, she grew dissatisfied.

She always felt that Zhu Ganglie was an eyesore.

If it weren't for Zhu Ganglie, she would have been openly together with her lover long ago.

Driven by this mindset, she wanted to divorce Zhu Ganglie, but unfortunately, her father firmly disagreed.

So this vicious woman came up with an idea.

If she killed Zhu Ganglie and became a widow, wouldn't the eyesore be gone?

And at that time, if her lover came to propose, her parents would probably be more than happy to agree to the marriage, after all, widows aren't easy to remarry.

If someone is willing to marry you, why be picky?

So she conspired with her lover to kill Zhu Ganglie with a nine-toothed rake.

Seeing this, Wang Bo couldn't help but frown. Zhu Ganglie died a miserable death. That day, when he came back from outside, his wife, contrary to her usual behavior, had prepared a table full of delicious food.

Zhu Ganglie didn't realize it was a trap. Thinking his wife had changed her mind, he was overjoyed.

But after the meal, he discovered that his wife had put sleeping drugs in the food.

Soon, he passed out, then was awakened by a piercing pain. He opened his eyes and saw a lover smashing down at him with a nine-toothed rake.

The blows shattered his bones, tore his flesh, and split his belly, spilling his intestines.

And his wife was watching from the side.

Zhu Ganglie wailed and begged his wife to save him, but she remained indifferent.

Zhu Ganglie couldn't understand why his wife wouldn't save him and instead watched him being beaten to death.

In the end, Zhu Ganglie was dying, and the lover was tired from beating him. In his final moments, Zhu Ganglie saw the lover and his wife embracing, saying that from now on there would be no more obstacles.

Only then did Zhu Ganglie suddenly understand.

His deep love instantly turned into deep hatred. This hatred did not dissipate after death, especially when he saw his wife feed his body to wild boars to destroy the evidence, making him even more resentful.

Afterward, Zhu Ganglie attached himself to that wild boar, took over its body, and turned into a boar demon.

No wonder this guy swore to kill all women who love handsome men; he had such a miserable experience. Wang Bo sighed in sympathy.

As the saying goes, the venom of a snake's fang and the sting of a wasp's tail are not as poisonous as a woman's heart.

When a woman is vicious, it's truly terrifying.

But those two didn't end well either.

After Zhu Ganglie's resentment turned him into a demon, he didn't let them off. First, he transformed into a handsome man, seduced his fickle wife, and then instigated her to personally dismember her lover.

Then, he reverted to his true form, captured his wife, tortured her to death, and ate her bit by bit.

Seeing this, Wang Bo felt both satisfaction and disgust.

When an honest man gets angry, it's something else.

But what Wang Bo wanted to see wasn't this; it was where Zhu Bajie learned the transformation technique. However, Wang Bo searched through his memories several times but couldn't find where Zhu Ganglie had learned it.

It seemed as if the transformation technique had suddenly appeared in Zhu Ganglie's mind.

Even Zhu Ganglie himself didn't find it strange that the technique had appeared in his mind.

But Wang Bo sensed that Zhu Ganglie's memories had been tampered with.

After turning into a boar demon from love turning to hate and resentment becoming a demon, he must have encountered someone. This person taught Zhu Ganglie the transformation technique and cultivation methods.

But afterward, they erased Zhu Ganglie's memory, leaving only the content of the cultivation methods.

This made Wang Bo quite curious: who was this person?

Why did they teach Zhu Ganglie cultivation methods, and why did they erase his memory and conceal their own existence?

Wang Bo's first suspicion fell on the Buddhist sect.

After all, the Journey to the West was orchestrated by the Buddhist sect, and the three demons protecting Chen Xuanzang were also personally selected by them. So the one who taught Zhu Ganglie cultivation methods should also be from the Buddhist sect.

They were the most suspicious.

On the other hand, Wang Bo also noticed that Zhu Ganglie truly didn't know the Crow's Nest Zen Master; he hadn't even heard of him.

Thus, it seemed that perhaps this person didn't exist in this world.
