Background / History

Mittel Auction House

Ya Fei began with poor cultivation talent and understood that beauty without strength could make her vulnerable to exploitation or a political marriage. She instead sought authority within the Mite'er Family, spending years developing the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City into a recognized local institution. 2

Flowing Cloud's arrival initially threatens the authority she had built, but he leaves the auction house under her management and openly supports her. In response, Ya Fei commits herself to expanding its business and advancing her standing in the family. 2

Her auctions quickly demonstrate her value: she drives bidding for the Mountain Splitting Palm, regards the event's success as a chance to prove her ability, and earns Flowing Cloud's recognition as the “Golden Empress.” 4 6 She also personally negotiates with Iron Wolf for the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's Demonic Core, raising the offer to secure it for the auction house. 11

During the conflict among Wutan City's three great families, Ya Fei assesses the crisis through the auction house's interests and declines to involve the Mittel Auction House in the attack on the Xiao Clan. 43

Partnership with Flowing Cloud

Recognizing Flowing Cloud's influence and the strength behind him, Ya Fei chooses to follow him to the Imperial Capital. She resolves to serve his interests carefully, maintain secrecy regarding his backing, and make his auctions succeed. 35 41

Their relationship becomes romantic after Ya Fei visits him privately in Wutan City. She later accepts a sixth-grade Creation Golden Pill from him, seeing it as the chance to no longer depend solely on beauty and social maneuvering. 70 72

The pill fundamentally changes her aptitude and restores her confidence in cultivation. Afterward, she trains diligently, determined to become strong enough to stand above others in her own right. 73 196

Imperial Capital and Cloud Alliance

After returning to the Imperial Capital, Ya Fei is appointed Acting Supervising Elder and placed in charge of part of the Mittel Auction House's auction items. She is dissatisfied with the limited authority of the post, having expected the full Supervising Elder position. 196

She helps Flowing Cloud prepare a Heaven-tier Auction, studying and promoting rare treasures including the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, Green Lotus Platform, Companion Purple Crystal Source, and Myriad Poison Pearl. 200

By the time the Cloud Alliance dominates the Jia Ma Empire, Ya Fei serves as its Alliance Leader. The alliance's hall masters and elders answer directly to her, and her cultivation is sufficient to suppress the gathered experts. 686 She later hosts a vast Heaven and Earth Alliance auction as a Dou Zun and is publicly identified as one of Flowing Cloud's wives. 918

Appearance

Ya Fei is an elegant, alluring woman whose carefully composed charm is paired with a noble, authoritative bearing. She is most often associated with lavish red brocade attire suited to her role as an auctioneer and leader. 28 191 376

• Her later presence carries enough authority that Cloud Alliance hall masters and elders formally salute her. 686

Personality

Ya Fei is ambitious, pragmatic, and highly conscious of the danger posed by her originally weak cultivation talent. Rather than accepting a future determined by her family or her appearance, she pursues influence through commercial success and authority within the Mite'er Family. 2

She is perceptive enough to avoid prying into Flowing Cloud's secrets, understands the importance of discretion, and consistently weighs decisions according to the auction house's interests. 41 43 Her loyalty to Flowing Cloud grows from professional gratitude into personal devotion, but she also uses the opportunity he gives her to cultivate seriously and pursue strength for herself. 72 196
