Inside Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun Punishes Jieyin, Zhunti

Xuanxiao chuckled, "Dao Ancestor, they're such crybabies. If you go soft and let them go after we leave, what then?"

Hongjun was speechless. He waved his hand, and another torrent of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder struck them, leaving them burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, their eyes black. He then said to Xuanxiao, "You may leave." With a flick of his sleeve, he sent them all to West Kunlun.

Taiyi said to Kunpeng, "We won't be the big suns here anymore. Remember our wedding is coming up, you absolutely have to be there." With that, he grabbed Xuanxiao and prepared to return to the Heavenly Court.

Xuanxiao said, "Since we're already here, why don't you come to my Daoist Palace for a bit?"

Taiyi's face turned red. He and Xuanxiao arrived at his Daoist Palace only to find a large, fat mouse lying inside. Xuanxiao's face immediately darkened. "Duobao ^_^, explain yourself. Who told you to come sleep in my Daoist Palace?"

Duobao's face contorted in embarrassment. "Senior Brother, the spirit gathering formation in this Daoist Palace of yours is quite good. Cultivating here is twice as effective with half the effort, so I just slipped in."

Xuanxiao nodded and said to Duobao, "Come here for a moment. Don't worry, Senior Brother won't lay a hand on you."

At this time, Duobao was still a simple and honest child. He ran directly in front of Xuanxiao. "Senior Brother, what do you need me for?"

Xuanxiao said with a serious expression, "A body search. Since you dare to sleep in my Daoist Palace, you might as well dare to do other things."

Then, he kicked Duobao over and said, "Taiyi, put him in the Chaos Bell for a while. I need to see if anything is missing."

Duobao said aggrievedly, "Senior Brother, you promised you wouldn't lay a hand on me."

"That's why I used my foot to kick you," Xuanxiao said matter-of-factly.

Duobao was speechless. Taiyi said, "This little fatty is quite cute with his chubby cheeks. Is it really okay to just suppress him?"

Duobao immediately put on a fawning expression. "Senior Brother, this fellow cultivator is right..."

"Shut up. You dare call me fellow cultivator?" Taiyi became unhappy again, looking at Duobao's chubby face as he leaned in.

"Senior Brother, are you done looking? I'm afraid this person you brought will beat me up~" Duobao wailed.

At this moment, Xuanxiao said kindly, "I'm done. Duobao, remember this: next time you sneak into my Daoist Palace, meditating is fine, but sleeping is not. Especially don't revert to your original form. Don't you know you shed fur?" As he spoke, he threw the bed from the bedroom out.

Coincidentally, it landed right in front of Tongtian, who had sensed his son returning home and had come to see him.

Tongtian was speechless. "Xiao'er, why so angry? You even threw out the bed."

Xuanxiao was speechless. "It's all because of Duobao. Not only did he come to my Daoist Palace to cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy, but he also reverted to his original form and slept on my bed. Look, how am I supposed to sleep with all these mouse furs on the bed? This bed is his now."

Tongtian looked embarrassed. "He's your junior brother, after all. Don't be angry. Look closely, Duobao is a Treasure Seeking Mouse. He likes to hoard spiritual items where he usually sleeps. Go and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxiao carefully searched the bedroom and found that Duobao had set up a small spatial formation inside his room, hiding quite a few spiritual fruits. He was amused and said, "Duobao, Senior Brother was a bit harsh just now. Don't mind it."

Duobao pouted. "How would I dare? Senior Brother, you're fierce as soon as you come back... I don't want any furniture I've touched anymore. That's really something."

Xuanxiao was helpless. "I'll refine a Daoist Palace for you and build a spirit gathering formation. These will be mine, how about it?"

Duobao nodded. "I also want a very awesome sign. It'll be called 'Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Honored'."

Xuanxiao nodded. "Fine, as long as you don't mind the sign getting beaten up. Senior Brother will make you such a sign." Well, ever since he got this sign, Duobao was sprinting on the road to becoming a Buddha, getting beaten black and blue the whole way.
