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

"If I can't find Purple Bamboo Peak, I'll have made a wasted trip and have to come back again. Do you want me to control your body and run around aimlessly?"

Zixia Fairy's divine sense finally stirred: "Pervert, give me back my body! Otherwise, you'll be lost here."

"Why are you so stubborn, girl?" Xu Jinhuan said.

"I'm just going to take care of some important business, not to do anything immoral. That black gourd and that soldier spirit are incredible opportunities; you won't find another like it if you miss them."

"Fairy, we are now in a community of shared interests. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zixia Fairy's divine sense became alert: "What do you want to do?"

"Look," Xu Jinhuan said slowly, "if you don't give me directions, I'll have to go back to your maid and have her lead me there. It'll have the same effect, just a waste of time."

"Or, I might just do something that would be utterly outrageous..."

Thinking of the tree's flippant threat, Fairy Zixia's cheeks flushed red with embarrassment and anger.

But circumstances forced her to act against her will. Fearing that this "pervert" might actually do something outrageous, she had no choice but to lead the way with a cold face.

"You dare!"

"What wouldn't I dare to do?" Xu Jinhuan said.

"Anyway, I'm a tree now, so I don't have to be a person anymore," he muttered to himself.

After a long while, Fairy Zixia's divine sense finally transmitted its message: "Go through the back mountain. Remember, don't do anything unnecessary!"

……

Behind Zizhu Peak lies an endless forest of purple bamboo.

This bamboo grove has been growing for countless years. Each bamboo stalk is as thick as a bowl, and its body is a deep purple color, gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Xu Jinhuan controlled Fairy Zixia's body, stepping on the soft bamboo leaves, and walked forward along the forest path.

This place is indeed sparsely populated; we walked for almost half an hour without seeing a single person.

"Am I on the right track?" he asked himself.

Zixia Fairy said calmly in her divine sense, "Just follow this path, and at the end you will reach the main hall area of ​​Zizhu Peak."

"That's good."

Xu Jinhuan continued walking forward, looking around at the bamboo forest as she went.

It must be said that the scenery of Zifu Holy Land is indeed beautiful.

Moonlight filters through the bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The scene is serene and tranquil, perfect for seclusion, and also...

Xu Jinhuan suddenly stopped walking.

Two figures were visible not far ahead.

Deep in the bamboo forest, where the moonlight couldn't reach, it should have been a dark place, but at this moment, a sound came from that darkness, mixed with suppressed breathing.

"How could it be them?" Looking at the two figures, Fairy Zixia was both surprised and suspicious.

She could see it clearly.

The man was dressed in purple, with a face as fair as jade, and was extremely handsome.

He was leaning against a thick purple bamboo, his clothes half-open, breathing rapidly, his head tilted back, his expression a mixture of pain and pleasure.

The woman had a voluptuous and graceful figure. Her moon-white Taoist robe was now messily piled around her waist, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white shoulders and back.

Xu Jinhuan's mind went blank.

At this moment, a fragment of Zixia Fairy's memory came through.

The man was Yang Mo, the head disciple of Zizhu Peak.

Although the woman's face was obscured, her moon-white Taoist robe and voluptuous figure suggested she was Liu Ruyan, the peak master of Yundao Peak.

A highly respected elder in the Purple Mansion Holy Land, a female cultivator who has been famous for many years.

But at this moment, this pair of teachers and disciples, who should have been observing proper etiquette and were of vastly different statuses, were instead deep in the secluded Zizhu Valley...

Xu Jinhuan instinctively wanted to retreat.

It's so embarrassing.

He only wanted to borrow a gourd; he didn't intend to spy on this kind of scene.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Yang Mo suddenly said, "Mom!"

What the hell!

It turns out that Zhu Qizhen wasn't the only emperor of the Ming Dynasty; the world of "Covering the Sky" also has its own version of the same name.

Xu Jinhuan felt a chill run down her spine, and her body reacted faster than her mind, taking a step back.

"Click."

Without warning, a piece of dry bamboo snapped in two, the sound echoing clearly in the silent bamboo forest.

Yang Mo's body stiffened abruptly, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

Eyes facing each other.

At that moment, Xu Jinhuan clearly saw that the infatuation in Yang Mo's eyes quickly faded, replaced by an indescribable complex expression.

Shock, panic, and then a fleeting murderous intent.

Hearing the noise, the woman also raised her head. The moonlight shone on her face, revealing a mature and beautiful face with spring-like eyes and disheveled hair.

Then, her gaze fixed, piercing through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, looking in the direction where Xu Jinhuan was.

Her moon-white Taoist robe instantly closed, and she raised her hand to tidy her sideburns, her movements elegant and composed, as if nothing had just happened.

But those eyes were extremely cold, staring straight at Xu Jinhuan.

"Zixia?"

Yang Mo clearly recognized the person who had come, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

How could it be Fairy Zixia?

Caught red-handed, this is a huge problem. Should we just go all the way and make things worse...?

Xu Jinhuan's brain was working at lightning speed.

Pretend you didn't see it? Too late.

Turn around and run? That would only make you look more guilty.

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Liu Ruyan speak.

"Little girl from Tian Shu Peak," Liu Ruyan chuckled softly, taking a step forward, her moon-white Daoist robe fluttering in the night breeze, "What are you doing here at this hour, instead of staying in your own cave?"

"Fairy, what is Liu Ruyan's background? What is her cultivation level?"

Zixia Fairy's divine sense transmitted: "Peak Master of Yundao Peak, Liu Ruyan, Second Heaven of Sendai."

A powerful cultivator on the second level of Sendai Heaven, the master of a peak, was caught in adultery by himself in a bamboo forest. In any novel, such a scene would be a standard prelude to silencing him.

If we really started fighting, I'm afraid my body, which is still in its early stages, wouldn't last a single move.

Xu Jinhuan suddenly remembered something.

In the original work, the black gourd and the rotten wooden hammer of the Purple Mansion Holy Land seem to be in the hands of the Purple Mansion Holy Son.

He quickly asked Zixia in his mind, "Is this Yang Mo the candidate for Holy Son that you mentioned to the maid earlier?"

"Purple Bamboo Peak is doing its utmost to support him, and he also has powerful figures from the Holy Land backing him up. His own strength is also decent." After a pause, Fairy Zixia added, "I never expected him to be such a two-faced, wicked person."

Xu Jinhuan's eyes lit up.

"That black gourd is most likely on him?"

In a flash, Xu Jinhuan had an idea.

He raised his head and took the initiative to speak, deciding to break the deadlock rather than let the atmosphere remain tense.

"Young Master Yang Mo," he began, using Zixia's cool and aloof voice, "what a fine mood you're in."

Yang Mo's hand froze.

"you……"

"What about me?" Xu Jinhuan interrupted him. "I was just passing by and happened to see it. What, is there a problem?"

Yang Mo was speechless, choked by his words.

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, her gaze towards Xu Jinhuan growing even colder.

Something's not right with this little girl.
