Background / History

Ye Ye is a princess of the Netherworld Empire and a member of the Ye Clan, the hereditary guardians of the Cat People. She is the descendant of the Netherworld Saint and inherited an Extraordinary Gene from her Battle Saint ancestor, explaining her exceptional strength from an early stage. Her father, Emperor Ye Mu, considers her destined to become one of the Empire's strongest future warriors. 96 244

Soon after awakening, Ye Ye was already capable of hunting boss-level Ferocious Beasts. Her priorities could be unusual even by her attendants' standards: she abandoned participation in a Relic operation to chase a boss-level Gale Eagle because it looked delicious. 47

She first encountered Lu Yuan in the Origin Land when he was grilling crocodile meat. After casually killing four Kobolds who interrupted the meal, she accepted his barbecue and left him materials, Spirit Crystals, and an Elite-quality Gene Armament as payment. 72 73

Ye Ye later reunited with Lu Yuan in the Mist Forest, where she defeated a Mist Earth Dragon and nearly struck him before recognizing him as the person who had grilled “fish” for her. The two traveled together toward Nether City and Tianluo City; Ye Ye eliminated nearly every Ferocious Beast they encountered, retained only worthwhile meat, and allowed Lu Yuan to keep the remaining materials. 93 94 96

During the Air Mechanical Relic expedition, Ye Ye invited Lu Yuan to join her team, fought beside him and Amy, and helped eliminate numerous hostile Gene Warriors. She killed the Green Devil Person king Barton after using a Magnetic Confinement Talisman to restrain him. 121 140 147 148

After reaching the Heaven's Pride Ranking, Ye Ye became one of White Cloud City's most prominent young Gene Warriors. She continued to spar with Lu Yuan, rose into the upper ranks, and later sought his help for the Netherworld royal family trial in Night Valley. 212 214 241

Following her Battle Emperor breakthrough, Ye Ye accepted Lu Yuan's assistance in preparing for a Saint-level gene inscription. Despite severe injuries during the process, she successfully inscribed the dark-type domain gene Shadow Saint World. 331 332

Appearance

Ye Ye is a striking Cat Person girl whose usually blank expression and quiet bearing contrast with her imposing combat presence. Her appearance is repeatedly noted as comparable to other renowned beauties such as Amy and Li Qinghe. 93 103 140

• Long black hair described as resembling a black waterfall. 93 209
• Black Cat Person ears and a black tail. 93 121

Personality

Ye Ye is reserved, direct, and usually expressionless. She speaks little, often answers with short replies, and can appear cold or detached; however, she is patient with questions from people she accepts and has a clear personal code. 94 140

Food is one of Ye Ye's strongest interests. She readily agreed to travel with Lu Yuan after he offered to cook for her, requested a chef skilled in human cuisine as a reward from Emperor Ye Mu, and eagerly anticipates barbecue, cakes, desserts, and Spirit Fruits. 94 96 209 331

Despite her calm demeanor, Ye Ye is fiercely protective of the Netherworld Empire and its people. When enemy Gene Warriors killed Cat Person soldiers during the Air Mechanical Relic expedition, she responded with rare visible killing intent and executed the attackers. 121

Her relationship with Lu Yuan gradually reveals a more openly affectionate and supportive side. She trusts his judgment, relies on him during major breakthroughs and trials, and even loudly cheered for him during his battle against Aimen—an action that surprised Xiao Bai and onlookers alike. 221 241 331
