Covering the Sky: Fairy, I really need to control you properly.

Chapter 2 The Struggle Between the Holy Son and Holy Daughter

The door was pushed open, and a maid in green entered, holding a letter in both hands, which she respectfully presented to Fairy Zixia.

"It was personally delivered by Elder Su Xue, who is close to the Holy Lord. She said it was important and asked Miss to read it herself."

Fairy Zixia took the letter, opened it, and read it.

The letter was short, and she read it quickly. After finishing, she simply folded the letter and put it aside.

The maid carefully observed her expression and asked, "Miss..."

"Three days later, the Eastern Wilderness Dao Discussion Conference will be held in the Purple Mansion."

The Eastern Wilderness Dao Discussion Conference is held once every hundred years. This year's conference will be hosted by the Purple Mansion Holy Land, and almost all the major forces in the Eastern Wilderness, including the Jiang family, Ji family, Feng family, Yao Guang Holy Land, Wan Chu, Dayan, Dao Yi, Si Xiang, Jiu Xiao, Zi Wei Sect, and Tian Yao Palace, will participate.

Fairy Zixia said, "At that time, people from various sects, holy lands, and ancient families will come, and the young talents will all take the stage to discuss the Dao. The letter said that I should prepare well and not lose face for Tian Shu Peak."

"This is a good thing. If Miss can shine brightly at the Dao Discussion Conference, then the position of Saintess will be a sure thing."

Fairy Zixia remained silent.

The maid was quick-witted; seeing her mistress's calm expression, she knew what she was thinking.

"Is Miss worried about Purple Bamboo Peak?"

"I heard that Young Master Yang Mo of Purple Bamboo Peak will also be participating in the Dao Discussion Conference this time. The elders of Purple Bamboo Peak have been making frequent visits lately, spreading rumors that Young Master Yang Mo is exceptionally talented and worthy of being called a Holy Son."

Fairy Zixia coldly replied, "They're after the position of Holy Maiden. According to the rules of the Holy Land, the Holy Maiden should marry the Holy Son. If Yang Mo becomes the Holy Son, then if I want to become the Holy Maiden, I'll have no choice but to marry him."

"Purple Bamboo Peak's plan is to take over my Heavenly Pivot Peak lineage as well."

Fairy Zixia stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the distant mountains outside.

The Purple Mansion Holy Land is nestled among the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Eastern Wilderness, with five peaks surrounding the central main peak, like five fingers holding up a bright pearl.

Tian Shu Peak is at the far east, and Zi Zhu Peak is at the far west. The two peaks are separated by a deep ravine and have never gotten along well.

The current Holy Lord, Lin Suwen, was born on Tian Shu Peak and was once a prodigy.

Unfortunately, he is now old, and although his cultivation is unfathomable, no one can say for sure about his lifespan.

In recent years, Zizhu Peak has produced many talented individuals, with five of the nine Supreme Elders holding the position. It has the potential to surpass the other four peaks and is naturally unwilling to let Tian Shu Peak continue to hold the position of Holy Lord.

"Miss," the maid suddenly remembered something and asked, "What is your opinion of that young master Yang Mo?"

Zixia Fairy turned around and glanced at her.

"Xiaoqing, you've been with me for so long, don't you understand what I'm thinking?"

"Men," said Fairy Zixia, "not a single one of them is good."

The maid dared not ask any more questions.

She simply recalled the rumors about the innate Dao embryo in the holy land. The higher one cultivates this physique, the closer one gets to the Dao itself, becoming emotionless, desireless, and with a heart as still as water.

It can only be said that the Western Queen Mother was an exception, having known the Great Accomplished Holy Body since her youth.

My young lady is only eighteen years old, yet her resolve in the Dao is already so firm. Her future achievements are likely limitless.

Is such a ruthless path truly a good thing?

……

Lost in his misery, Xu Jinhuan pondered the words he had just heard.

It turns out that Fairy Zixia is now facing a battle for the title of Holy Maiden.

Logically speaking, with a constitution like that of an innate Dao embryo, the Holy Maiden should have been almost certain to succeed.

In the Purple Mansion Holy Land, among the five peaks, Tian Shu Peak and Zi Zhu Peak are vying for power. The Holy Lord is from Tian Shu Peak, but Zi Zhu Peak is more powerful and wants to use this Dao Discussion Conference to promote Yang Mo to the position, and also to bring Zi Xia, the Holy Maiden candidate, into their fold.

This celestial being with an innate Daoist embryo had the following opinion on men: not a single one of them was good.

Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but want to laugh.

He recalled that in the original novel of "Covering the Sky," Fairy Zixia's attitude towards Ye Fan was indeed not very good.

Aside from Ye Fan's somewhat roguish first encounter with the big black dog, it's probably also related to her innate Dao fetus's naturally ruthless constitution.

But I am a man too, so am I now considered a tree?

Are trees considered "good things"?

As he was lost in thought, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

That is……

Visual.

He suddenly "saw" the world beyond the sea of suffering: an ancient stone chamber, fresh and elegant, with a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone window. Outside the window, distant mountains were like dark eyebrows, and the sky and clouds cast shadows. It was the perspective of Fairy Zixia.

Hearing.

He "heard" that birds were flying by in the distance; that was also Zixia Fairy's hearing.

Xu Jinhuan was stunned.

Is this... sharing the five senses?

He tried to concentrate his mind and reach that mysterious connection.

The next moment, he felt as if he could... be in control.

It seems that if he wanted to, he could take over this body and see, hear, and act in place of Fairy Zixia.

It's like possession.

Good guy.

So that's what "possession is possible" means.

He tried to concentrate his mind and touch that mysterious connection, as if a thread extended from the trunk of the golden tree and connected with the soul of Fairy Zixia.

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment, then tentatively flicked it gently.

At that moment, Fairy Zixia was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed when she suddenly felt a slight numbness in her left little finger.

It was very light and faint, like an ant crawling by.

She subconsciously looked down.

The little finger of my left hand twitched slightly.

wrong.

Zixia Fairy's gaze froze; she had no intention of moving that finger.

Having cultivated Taoism for many years, she had developed an unparalleled control over her body, with every inch of flesh and blood and every wisp of divine thought under her control.

But she wasn't the one who did that move just now.

It moved on its own.

Or perhaps, something moved for her.

Zixia Fairy frowned slightly, using her divine sense to examine her entire body, checking every inch of her meridians and every acupoint.

There was nothing there; everything was perfectly normal.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she was just overthinking things.

Then, her left hand moved again.

This time it wasn't the little finger, but the entire left hand, from the wrist to the fingertips, that was lifted slightly.

She watched as her left hand rose, spread its fingers, and then clenched into a fist, as if she were doing some kind of strange exercise.

She tried to stop it, but the hand wouldn't obey her commands, moving on its own with clumsy movements, like a baby trying to grasp something for the first time.

Then, it was placed directly on the chest.

Fairy Zixia: "???"

Even in the world of "Covering the Sky," basic laws still apply.

Anyone who feels their body is out of their control will lose their composure and inevitably panic.

Zixia Fairy tensed up, her divine sense scanning her entire body and then the entire stone chamber, examining it three times in total.

There was nothing there.

But that left hand had indeed moved uncontrollably just now.

It was still stuck to my chest.

Fairy Zixia took a deep breath, suppressing the strange, inexplicable feeling in her heart, and said coldly:

"Who?"

A moment of silence followed in the stone chamber.

Fairy Zixia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.
