Background

Cold-Blooded Fifth was raised within the Cold-Blooded Group and began carrying out assassination missions at age five. More than a decade later, she had outlasted most of the assassins from her generation and risen through ability rather than favoritism. Her teachers predicted that she would become a legend among assassins. 159

Her reputation as the Death God makes even fellow Cold-Blooded Group members fear her. She is one of the Five Greats and usually handles command and arrangements; when personally deployed, it is generally against powerful, high-profile targets. 155 166

The Cold-Blooded Group’s numerical names denote rank rather than birth names. After Ye Lang renames the organization the Leng Xue Group, she is given the public name Leng Xuewu, though she initially insists that she is still Cold-Blooded Fifth. 149 663

Appearance

Cold-Blooded Fifth is a young, graceful girl whose age is initially concealed by the Cold-Blooded Group’s standard mask and cloak. Ye Lang identifies her as female and under twenty through observation despite her disguise. 157 159 661

• Wears a cloak marked with the number 5, denoting her rank. 157
• Commonly conceals her face and presence with a mask, dark clothing, and stealth techniques. 159 770
• Uses skin-tight gloves that feel cold to the touch. 163
• Can adopt a Fox Tribe disguise using alchemical ears, tail, and altered hair. 459

Personality

Cold-Blooded Fifth is cold, terse, and ruthlessly practical. She regards herself as an assassin above all else and rejects the more genteel title of “Miss Fifth,” believing it has nothing to do with her life or profession. 159

Her composure is exceptional in lethal situations, but Ye Lang repeatedly draws out reactions that other people cannot. His carelessness irritates her enough to make her act impulsively, and their time trapped in miniature form gradually turns their hostility into familiarity and trust. 162 166

Despite her detached manner, she becomes fiercely protective of Ye Lang. She warns others against retaliating against him, intervenes when he is threatened, and prioritizes his safety even when their missions are at stake. 174 175 524

She has an unexpected domestic side: she secretly enjoys cooking and seeks Ye Lang’s advice to improve her food. 158

Story Role / Major Arcs

Meeting Ye Lang

While cooking in the Cold-Blooded Group headquarters, Cold-Blooded Fifth encounters Ye Lang after he ignores everyone’s warnings and enters her kitchen for food. She tests his claim of poison immunity, but his complete indifference to danger leaves her unable to handle him normally. 155 156 157

Ye Lang discovers that the feared “Cold-Blooded Fifth” is a young woman and begins calling her Little Five. In exchange for more cooking, he shares his knowledge with her; the Group is shocked that the Death God tolerates, protects, and even learns from him. 158 159 160

Miniature Incident and Puppetry

After Ye Lang’s laboratory accident shrinks him, Cold-Blooded Fifth is also reduced to a miniature form. The pair search for Cold-Blooded Thirteenth, discover his corpse, and use his Alchemy Journal to investigate Puppetry and recover their normal bodies. 162 164 165

While trapped together, Fifth reveals vulnerabilities rarely seen by others, including fear of giant maggots. Ye Lang improves Cold-Blooded Thirteenth’s unfinished puppet and helps refine Fifth’s assassination methods; their shared isolation deepens their trust. 165 166 167

Cold-Blooded Group Succession

Ye Lang controls a humanlike puppet associated with Cold-Blooded Fifth during the contest to select a new Cold-Blooded Thirteenth. Fifth covertly communicates with and protects him while he assists the new Thirteenth in deciphering an ancient Alchemy Array. 169 171 172

When other members threaten or suspect Ye Lang, Fifth makes her protection explicit. She also fears revealing her miniature state because she believes the Group would see her as a monster or exploit her weakness. 174 175

Assassination of Princess Longji

Cold-Blooded Fifth joins the operation against Princess Longji as its principal assassination specialist. Her small body allows exceptional infiltration, but Longji’s unusual defensive aura repels Battle Qi- and Magic-based attacks, forcing Fifth to abandon her direct attempt. 207 210

Ye Lang later turns against the Cold-Blooded Group’s attack on Longji and declares his intention to destroy the organization. Fifth nevertheless remains at his side, hidden within the puppet. 217

Later Missions and Reunion

After Ye Lang becomes the nominal Cold-Blooded First, Fifth recognizes him despite his Fox Tribe disguise by his scent. She continues assisting his efforts to obtain the Heavenly Mechanism Armor and offers to support his scheme against Li Yue from the shadows. 457 459

She later acts as Ye Lang’s close protector, with Ye Lang explicitly ordering her to avoid dangerous locations such as the Imperial Palace if necessary. 524

Leng Xuewu

When the Cold-Blooded Group is renamed the Cold Snow / Leng Xue Group, Ye Lang gives Fifth the name Leng Xuewu and the nickname Little Wu. The new name allows her to appear more openly without publicly announcing herself as the organization’s infamous assassin. 663
