These past few days, Chu Jun had been busy with the issue of the tax rate for spirit mines. The City Lord's Manor had demanded that 30% of the tax be paid, while Chu Jun had said that only 10% could be paid. The two sides would not budge a single step, so this issue had been stalemated for a long time. Chu Jun had asked for an interview with Wei Jingdang several times, but Wei Jing, the old fox, had avoided him. In the end, Chu Jun simply stayed in the City Lord's Mansion shamelessly. Wei Jing helplessly appeared. The two sides finally agreed to raise the tax by 20%, but only if the City Lord's Mansion did not interfere with the production of the spirit ore. After the two sides reached an agreement, Huashuang Peak's spirit mines were officially mined, and the Vientiane Array project of Stai and Lan Qi'er was also started.

After settling the matter of the Spirit Mine, Chu Jun and Zhao Yu hid in the small world and concentrated on cultivating, preparing for the upcoming third stage of the rising star competition.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. There were still about ten days left before they agreed to meet Du Wu. Chu Jun and Zhao Yu had finally finished their cultivation and were preparing to leave for Mingyang City , the highest capital of Chongming Island, tomorrow.

On this day, Chu Jun inspected the production of the Wanling Mine and handled some matters within the sect. He did not return to the cave until later. Zhao Yu greeted him and gently took off his coat. He only had a worried look on his face. Chu Jun hugged her and kissed her. "Yu'er, what happened?" He asked.

"Xiaoxiao wants to come with us to Mingyang City , but I didn't agree. Now, I'm hiding in my room and haven't come out for a day!" Zhao Yu said helplessly, "Why don't we agree to her?"

Chu Jun shook his head and said, "That won't do. At that time, we will all participate in the competition. Who will take care of her?"

Zhao Yudai frowned and said, "Why don't we let Min Min go with us? She will take care of Xiao Xiao when we participate in the competition!"

Chu Jun shook his head and said, "Mingyang City is the capital of Chongming Island. Experts from all walks of life are gathered here. Although Xiaoxiao is wearing Purple Concealment, there might be people who can see her demon aura and the Nine Nether Profound Yin Physique. At that time, it will be very troublesome!"

Zhao Yu was immediately in a difficult situation. He rolled his eyes at Chu Jun and said, "I don't care anymore. You are responsible for coaxing Xiaoxiao!"

Chu Jun helplessly came to the little fellow's room. This little thing was curled up on the bed like a kitten, and the quilt was covered. This reminded Chu Jun of that girl Ding Ding.

"Xiaoxiao, where are you sleeping?" Chu Jun laughed.

The little fellow under the quilt moved. He could tell that he had rolled over, but he did not reply. Chu Jun lifted the blanket, revealing Little Ling'er in a small dress with a flower lattice. She leaned in and opened her eyes wide, her cheeks bulging with anger. Chu Jun couldn't help but feel that it was funny. He lightly patted her little butt and said, "Little baby, what's wrong?"

Xiao Xiao lovingly rolled her eyes and shouted, "Little baby is angry, don't bother me!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh and cry. He reached out and picked her up. He kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile, "Hey, you're angry. Your mouth can hang a bunch of wine bottles!"

Xiaoxiao giggled twice. Suddenly, she woke up and was angry. She immediately tried her best to straighten her face, pouting her red lips and turning her head to the side. Chu Jun dotingly pinched the little fellow's face and smiled, "Don't be angry. Brother Jun will take you to the city, okay?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao shook her head like a rattle drum, hugging Chu Jun's neck and acting coquettish, "No, he wants to follow you to Mingyang City !"

Chu Jun said awkwardly, "Little baby, I really can't do this time. Next time, Big Brother Jun will take you there!"

Zhao Ling's face immediately collapsed, and she twisted her body in disobedience, "No matter what, I will follow you!"

Chu Jun frowned and said in a deep voice, "You're not obedient, are you?"

Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and remained silent!

"Don't go. Stay obediently on the mountain. Big sister Yu'er and I will be back soon!" Chu Jun said with a cold face.

"Liar! Sister Yu'er said that you are going to enter the eighteenth floor. She is not sure when she will be able to come out!" Xiaoxiao said loudly.

"It's precisely because of this that you must obediently stay on the mountain. You can't run around, understand?" Chu Jun raised his voice and said.

Xiao Xiaoxiao's face was slightly pale, and she lowered her head tearfully. Her small shoulders shrugged and shrugged, and she was about to cry. Chu Jun's heart couldn't help but soften. He hurriedly said in a slow voice, "Good boy, Brother Jun will promise you to return as soon as possible. The time on the eighteenth floor is a hundred times that of the outside world. In other words, one day outside, one hundred days inside, and one year outside, one hundred years inside. So when we come out, it may only be ten days outside!"

Xiaoxiao blinked her misty eyes, "Really?"

"Lying to you is a puppy!" Chu Jun cursed.

"Then Xiaoxiao can wait for you outside the eighteenth floor!"

Chu Jun's face instantly darkened. He fiercely said, "No, you must stay on the mountain. If you dare to disobey, I'll throw you away, I don't want you anymore!"

Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she trembled for a moment. Then, she cried loudly, tears flowing down her small face made of pink and carved jade like pearls.

"Chu Jun, why did you make her cry!" Zhao Yu glared at Chu Jun in reproach and reached out to hug Xiaoxiao in distress. However, Xiaoxiao did not appreciate his kindness and waved her hand randomly.

"None of you love me. I hate you!" Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and cried loudly as she broke free from Chu Jun's embrace and ran out.

"Xiaoxiao!" Zhao Yu anxiously shouted to chase after her. Chu Jun hurriedly pulled her and said, "Don't chase after her. Children can't be spoiled too much. Otherwise, Zhao Lai will become even more disobedient in the future!"

Zhao Yu said worriedly, "I'm afraid that something might happen to her!"

"Don't worry, what can happen within the range of Donghua Peak ?" Chu Jun said calmly. Zhao Yu helplessly rolled her eyes at Chu Jun!

Xiaoxiao cried and ran out of the cave. She spread her legs and ran back to the cliff. She came to the place where she usually cultivated and squatted crying. After a while, she did not see Chu Jun and Zhao Yu chasing after her. The more she cried, the more sad she became. The more she cried, the more aggrieved she became. She could not help but think of her father Tieshi.

"Daddy, Big Brother Jun doesn't love me anymore. He doesn't keep his word and even said that he would bring me to you every year, but he hasn't brought me to you once. He's a scoundrel who lied to children!" Xiaoxiao said while sobbing.

The little fellow wiped away his tears for a while, grabbed a withered branch, and drew circles on the ground. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in his little head, and he wrote on the ground, "Humph, you don't love me, I hate you, I don't want you anymore, I'll go back and find daddy myself!"

After Xiaoxiao finished writing, she wiped her face with her sleeve and angrily said, "I'll find a place to hide. I'm so anxious to kill all of you!" As he spoke, he took out his flying sword and prepared to leave. Suddenly, he was worried that Chu Jun and Zhao Yu did not see the message. Thus, he turned around and took out a small skirt from his storage ring and pressed it on the spot with a stone.

After doing all of this, Xiaoxiao clapped her hands proudly and left Donghua Peak with her sword. She fantasized about how Chu Jun and Zhao Yu were looking for her like crazy. She wrinkled her nose contentedly and giggled.

"I have to hide well. I can't let them find me easily. It's better to be anxious to death. Where should I hide?" Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought for a while. Suddenly, she clapped her hands and said, "Go into the city!"

The little fellow turned his sword light and flew towards the direction of Secluded Sun City. He intended to play in the city for a day, rent a Heaven Ranked residence for a few days, and then return to the mountain. At that time, Big Brother Jun might find him and cry. Hehe, let's see if he dares not love me.

The little fellow rode his sword past Hua Lu Peak, and a group of mountain patrolling disciples happened to pass by. Naturally, they all knew that this cute little loli was the sect master's little treasure, so none of them dared to stop her.

Xiaoxiao left the East Radiance Nine Peaks unhindered and flew towards the direction of Serene Sun City. After flying for a while, she began to regret it. She thought to herself, "What if Big Brother Jun can't find me? If he really gets angry, will he really abandon me?"

Just as the little fellow was hesitating whether to return or not, a strange singing sound suddenly came from the trees below. Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and descended with her sword.

Below was a small valley. Streams of water gurgled past. A young girl with two snow-white thighs was leisurely raccooning on the rocks beside the stream, her long hair loosening behind her head.

"You're here!" The barefoot girl smiled and asked. Her face was round and her eyes were wide.

"Who are you?" "Were you singing just now?" Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully.

The barefoot girl lifted her bare feet from the stream, and the clear stream water dripped down her snow-white heels, making a ding dong sound.

"Looks like you really have amnesia. Hehe, you've still been this tall for so many years. Looks like that stupid kid has some ability. He used spiritual medicine to suppress your bloodline awakening!" The girl hugged her knees with one hand and tilted her head to look at Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Xiaoxiao's face turned slightly pale as she said, "You … who are you?"

"Miaomiao, you've already awakened your spirit. I don't believe you can't remember anything!" The barefoot girl sneered as she stood up. Only then did Xiaoxiao realize that the sleeves on the other side of her clothes were empty and one of her hands was broken.

Xiaoxiao slowly retreated and said in fear, "You … what are you trying to do? I don't know you!" After saying that, she turned around and ran, but she stopped just a few meters away. Behind the tree, an old woman with a hunchback appeared. She was holding a green cane with a small green snake wrapped around the end of the cane. The messenger could not swallow and spit it out. It was extremely miserable. The old woman clenched her left hand to her mouth and coughed softly. Her black clothes gave off an extremely gloomy and cold feeling.

Xiao Xiao looked at the old woman in horror and blurted out, "Grandma!" His legs went soft and his butt fell to the ground.

It was completely dark. Before Xiaoxiao could return, Chu Jun finally started to feel a little worried. He searched the Donghua Peak and soon found the message that the little fellow had left on the ground. This time, both Chu Jun and Zhao Yu became anxious. Could this little fellow really have taken a boat back to Guyuan Continent?

Chu Jun hurriedly dispatched his disciples to search the East Radiance Nine Peaks. Afterwards, he heard from the mountain patrolling disciples that Xiaoxiao had actually left the East Radiance Nine Peaks and was heading in the direction of Secluded Sun City. He couldn't help but be angry and anxious. He hurried to the port of Secluded Sun City, and even used his dark incense spies. In the end, he found nothing. No one saw Xiaoxiao entering the city.

Chu Jun was almost mad. He was prepared to use the Three Purities Token to seek help from the Immortal Cultivator Guild. However, a disciple rushed over from the mountain to report that Xiaoxiao had found it and was safe and sound on the mountain. Chu Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was so angry that he itched to return to the mountain. He swore that he would definitely beat this little naughty boy's butt up. However, when he saw the little fellow hiding in Zhao Yu's arms pitifully, he was reluctant to beat him up again.

"Brother Jun, Xiaoxiao will obediently stay on the mountain. Xiaoxiao will listen to you in the future. Don't be angry, okay?" The little fellow said timidly.
