Xiao Yi Xian

Biodata

Background / History

Physician in Qingshan Town

Xiao Yi Xian worked at Myriad Medicine Zhai, treating injured townsfolk and gathering herbs near the Monster Mountain Range in her spare time. Despite her medical work, she was frequently tormented by her own Calamity Poison Body 34 41.

Her departure left a noticeable gap in Qingshan Town’s medical care. Mercenaries later complained that they could no longer have their injuries treated by her and struggled to stabilize more serious wounds 80.

Joining Ruyi Zhai

Rumors of pastries capable of increasing Dou Qi brought Xiao Yi Xian to Ruyi Zhai in Wutan City. On her first visit, she bought three Peach Pastries and three Peanut Candies, postponing Honeyed Shortbread because she had not brought enough gold coins. Xiao Cheng offered to help if she experienced unusual bodily problems 34.

After considering his offer, she returned with a bundle and asked to become a clerk. She offered to work without wages, hoping the shop could cure her constitution—or at least suppress it temporarily. She subsequently began serving customers and packaging pastries alongside the other employees 41 44 56.

Desert Journey and Ambush

When Xue Lan sought help with a water dispute between Stone Desert City and the Snake People Tribe, Xiao Yi Xian volunteered to negotiate personally. Haibodong accompanied her as a guard. Wu Ying learned of the journey and planned to capture her as leverage against Xiao Cheng and Ruyi Zhai, securing Yun Shan’s cooperation 239.

During the resulting confrontation, Xiao Yi Xian and Xue Lan became frightened as Wu Ying threatened them from within black mist. The party nevertheless reached the Tagor Desert and later returned to Ruyi Zhai 245 252 262.

Acting Manager

While Xiao Cheng was away, Xiao Yi Xian became an authorized decision-maker at the Wutan City shop. Gu He directed partnership inquiries to her and explicitly identified her as the person in charge during the owner’s absence 342 354.

By Xiao Cheng’s return, she was handling negotiations with Heavenly Snake Mansion and reporting the shop’s recent developments. He endorsed her decisions, and the system recognized her as acting manager, enabling the opening of a branch shop in the next region 383.

Appearance

• Fresh, ethereal aura: Her faint smile and temperament briefly leave Xiao Cheng entranced at their first meeting 34.
• Beautiful eyes and red lips: Both are noted when she returns to ask for employment 41.
• Customer appeal: Her appearance and bearing attract admiring customers, making her somewhat embarrassed 44.

Personality

Xiao Yi Xian is curious enough to travel from Qingshan Town to investigate Ruyi Zhai’s unusual pastries, but her decision to remain there is driven by a practical hope of relieving her illness. She is willing to accept suppression rather than a complete cure and offers her labor without demanding wages 34 41.

Her customer service is gentle and polite, while her approach to running the shop is increasingly firm. She sends arguing colleagues back to work and becomes frustrated when Gu He falls asleep and disrupts the customer queue. Xiao Cheng’s praise strengthens her confidence in managing Ruyi Zhai 57 262 354 383.
