Background / History

Lili had cultivated in the lower cultivation world for roughly a thousand years before accompanying Wei Yunxi through the Weiling Realm's ascension to the Immortal Realm. Before their natal contract, he lacked a formal contract mark despite living in Yunxi's space and being treated as her favored spirit pet. 609 670 983

His unusual eyes made him valuable in investigations. On Azure Star, he recognized that several people carried old, unpurified souls forcibly placed into their present bodies; he later identified military personnel whose divine souls had been purified but were insufficiently solid. 525 538

Mu Zijun attempted to forcibly contract Lili through a secret formation. Lili resisted and injured Mu Zijun's divine soul, after which Yunxi destroyed the formation and investigated its origin. 609

After reaching the fifth-tier, Lili was temporarily lent to Xunkun and Yutang Ruofeng to uncover evil cultivators hidden within the Heavenly Demon Palace. He exposed several infiltrators while protecting Liao Ziqian during the latter's ascent of Xuanyuan Peak. 736 737 738

Yunxi formed a natal contract with Lili in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm, sharing her cultivation to accelerate his advancement. Although the contract made Lili a potential vulnerability, Yunxi refused to dissolve it for the Ice Baihus, regarding Lili as a trusted companion rather than a disposable spirit beast. 967 983 984

To prepare Lili for his owed immortal lightning tribulation, Yunxi refined strengthening potions and artifacts for him, while Bai Xiao, Bai Qiao, and Hammer Bingzhuo trained his body, movement, and endurance for a hundred years. Lili later survived the accumulated tribulations without transferring their burden to Yunxi. 984 992

Appearance

In his usual form, Lili is a small red panda with black-and-yellow fur, a long fluffy tail, and dark eyes repeatedly compared to black grapes. His eyes can emit golden or amber light when examining souls, formations, or hidden abnormalities. 497 525 778 840

• His fifth-tier human transformation is child-sized, with a round face, baby fat, and yellow clothing trimmed in black. 688
• After becoming an immortal beast, his complete beast form grows to a size comparable to an Ice Baihu before he can shrink himself again. 982
• His fur was once scorched black and his tail singed bare during his fifth-tier tribulation. 688

Personality

Lili is deeply loyal to Yunxi and consistently prioritizes her safety. He willingly accepted a natal contract despite understanding that injury or death could endanger her, and later offered to dissolve it when he feared his weakness might burden her. 967 983

He is observant and candid when reporting what he sees, even when he lacks the vocabulary to fully explain it. Lili can also be aloof toward strangers—such as Black Eyes—while showing affection through nuzzling Yunxi, sitting on her shoulder, and readily returning to her arms. 525 661 744 992
