We bear people have power

Kui Mulang, a powerful demon king who could fight the Monkey King to a standstill, knelt before the door, speechless with his two sons, tears welling up in his eyes.

Fortunately, they weren't kneeling on durians, but just on the ground. It seems that they weren't as depraved as they were in later generations.

The two boys, as if used to it, said to their father, "Dad, have you made Mom angry again?"

Kui Mulang's expression changed, and he shouted, "All you do is play around all day! Have you finished your homework today? Go and copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times. Otherwise, you won't be able to read and you won't be able to find a wife when you grow up!"

"If I could be like you, Father, I'd rather not have a wife," the one-horned boy said expressionlessly.

"You unfilial son, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Kui Mulang was furious. He stood up and reached out to slap the one-horned boy's buttocks.

The child nimbly dodged and then disappeared in an instant.

Kui Mulang howled and chased after it, leaving the Twin-Horned Boy and Guan Bo bewildered in the wind.

Guan Bo glanced awkwardly at the two-horned boy, who calmly said, "Don't worry about it, come with me."

Guan Bo followed the two-horned boy deeper into the cave, and soon saw Kui Mulang drinking heavily from a wine jar.

As for the one-horned boy who should have been hung up and beaten, he was massaging the shoulders of the boy on the side.

“See, I told you not to worry about it. This idea always works,” the two-horned boy said to Guan Bo.

Guan Bo was stunned for a long time before he realized that the father and son were putting on a show. The one-horned boy deliberately provoked Kui Mulang, so that Kui Mulang could then chase after him without having to kneel in front of the door and make a fool of himself.

"Impressive!" Guan Bo mentally applauded Kui Mulang's wisdom.

No wonder the journey to the West required eighty-one tribulations. Even Buddha and the Jade Emperor had to endure countless calamities to achieve enlightenment. It's because being tormented for so long gives rise to great wisdom.

"Father, why did you make Mother angry again?" the twin-horned boy asked curiously.

Kui Mulang glanced at the two-horned boy, then at Guan Bo, seemingly unconcerned about the seemingly憨厚 (honest and simple) panda. His eyes were blurry with drunkenness; he assumed it was just a pet his son had caught from the mountains, and sighed, "How would I know why she's angry? If I knew, would I be kneeling at the door?"

Guan Bo sighed, realizing that the reason why women get angry is an age-old mystery, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Kui Mulang.

After the two boys offered a few words of comfort, Kui Mulang felt better and then asked, "Where did this panda come from?"

Fearing that the two boys might say something wrong, Guan Bo spoke first, saying, "Your Majesty, I have come here specifically to relieve your worries."

As Guan Bo said this, he secretly used the power of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

As mentioned before, the Five Thunder Orthodox Method cultivates the purest thunder sounds in the world. When it is cultivated to a high level, one can make one's words become law, and make all things in the world obey one's commands.

Therefore, the sound of thunder is remarkably effective in persuading others.

At this moment, Kui Mulang was drunk because of his grief and was already somewhat confused. After hearing Guan Bo's words, Lei Yin became even more absent-minded and forgot to care about the strangeness of the panda's uninvited arrival.

"Can you help me appease my wife?" Kui Mulang asked curiously.

"Does your wife often lose her temper? Does she throw a small tantrum every three days and a big one every five?" Guan Bo asked in return.

"Indeed, how did you know?" Kui Mulang asked, his eyes shining.

"Most women in the world are like this. The things they say every day are nothing more than: Why don't you care about me? Why should you care about me?! Give me an explanation! Don't explain, I don't want to hear it, you're all lying! Look at other people's husbands!"

"Ah! Brother, you are truly a genius! Indeed!" Kui Mulang exclaimed excitedly, as if he had encountered a prophet.

"The one who tied the knot must untie it. If you don't know why your wife is angry, you'll be kneeling at the door all day, unable to get in." Guan Bo pretended to be profound, but in reality, he wanted to say a few more words and continue to influence Kui Mulang's will with the Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

Kui Mulang sighed and said, "I wasn't kneeling on the door. Did you see the two ants on the ground? My wife made me kneel on these ants. I couldn't kneel until I died, and I couldn't let the ants escape. I held on for half an hour, but I really couldn't hold on any longer, so I asked the little demon to call our son back to save me."

"Holy crap, that's ruthless?" Guan Boguang felt his knees go weak just listening to it.

Men don't easily shed tears, unless they are truly heartbroken. Kui Mulang was already teary-eyed at this moment, which shows how miserable life is for men who are afraid of their wives.

"Your Majesty, please don't cry. Think about why your wife has been throwing tantrums lately, so I can help you find the right remedy," Guan Bo asked tentatively.

"Well, let me think about it. Not long ago, everything was fine. My husband and I were very loving, and I did everything for her, taking great care of her. Until that Tang Monk came... Yes, that's the guy. At the time, I thought that if I ate Tang Monk's flesh, I could live forever. I didn't really care about that, but what woman in the world wouldn't want to stay young forever? So I planned to capture that Tang Monk and stew him for her."

Upon hearing this, Guan Bo thought to himself, "This man loves his wife so much that he'd kill someone. Tang Seng must be incredibly unlucky."

"But then, for some reason, I fought with Pigsy and Sandy in front of the cave, and afterwards she made me release Tang Sanzang. After that, she was sullen all day long. That monk must have said something to her. No, I have to go and get back at him."

Kui Mulang was filled with grievances and was about to vent his anger on Tang Sanzang.

Guan Bo broke out in a cold sweat. If Kui Mulang were to charge into Baoxiang Kingdom like this, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

"Your Majesty, please don't be hasty. If killing Tang Sanzang would make your wife happy, then of course you should kill him immediately, without waiting a moment. But since your wife ordered him to go, if you go looking for trouble, wouldn't that make your wife feel embarrassed? That would be counterproductive," Guan Bo quickly advised.

“That’s true. Thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise I would have angered her again. But what should I do?” Kui Mulang asked.

"Then I'll go and find out for you what exactly is causing your wife's distress. Only by understanding this can we find the right solution," Guan Bo suggested.

“But brother, you’re still an outsider. Will she listen to you?” Kui Mulang wasn’t completely stupid; he seemed to sense something was amiss.

"Onlookers see things more clearly. Anyway, trying it won't lead to any worse results." Guan Bo said this after almost exhausting most of the energy he had cultivated with the Five Thunder Orthodox Technique, which finally calmed Kui Mulang down.

Having received approval, Guan Bo quickly ran back to the room he had just been in.

However, upon arriving at the door, he felt a little uneasy, unsure of how to gain Princess Baihua Xiu's trust.

"I was so stupid. If only I had gotten some kind of token from the King of Baoxiang Kingdom, the princess would have trusted me, and then I could have taken things slowly." Guan Bo realized he had made a mistake.

However, there was no way to avoid it at this point, so they knocked on the door first.

However, before Guan Bo could make a move, the door opened, and a graceful woman in palace attire walked out and said to Guan Bo, "You must be the envoy sent by my father, the king?"
