Background

Zi Yan was found in child form after accidentally consuming Form Transformation Grass before she should have been able to transform. The grass left her trapped in the appearance of a little girl, despite her Ancient Void Dragon body and immense physical strength. Su Qian raised her at Jia Nan Academy as though she were his granddaughter. 85 89

At the Inner Academy, Zi Yan was isolated despite her carefree exterior. She frequently sought medicinal ingredients and pills, while other alchemists avoided her or allegedly mishandled her ingredients. Her first encounter with Chen Guan began when she silently appeared behind him and took his Heart Calming Pills; she then offered him protection in exchange for refining pills for her. 83 85

Zi Yan accompanied Chen Guan outside the academy, using her instincts to locate rare herbs and frequently causing trouble among Magical Beasts. Her strength, spatial talent, and growing bond with Chen Guan made her a central member of his group. 85 105 198

After entering the Central Plains, Hei Qing confirmed that Zi Yan was an Ancient Void Dragon with an unusually noble bloodline and brought her to Dragon Island. There, she later reunited with her father, Zhu Kun, who had been trapped in Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave for over a thousand years. 223 224 293

Zi Yan obtained and absorbed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, perfecting her Dragon Emperor Bloodline. She subsequently became the Dragon Emperor, led East Dragon Island against the Three Dragon Kings, and unified Dragon Island through decisive victories. 337 338 355 361

Appearance

Zi Yan normally appears as a small girl in white clothing, with light-purple eyes and a deceptively harmless appearance. Her true growth has repeatedly been disrupted by the Form Transformation Grass. 83 145

• Long violet hair in her adult form. 145
• Can freely enlarge or shrink her body after Zhu Kun’s bloodline baptism. 294
• Wears dark-gold, form-fitting battle armor when acting as Dragon Emperor. 357
• Her mature form possesses a markedly regal and imposing presence, contrasting with her childish behavior. 357

Personality

Zi Yan is lively, greedy for medicinal ingredients, and prone to mischief. She treats valuable herbs as snacks, takes what interests her, and often underestimates the trouble she causes. 84 87 316

Despite her carefree demeanor, she is deeply lonely and values the people who accepted her. Her attachment to Chen Guan, Medusa, Su Qian, Yaoyue, and her companions influences many of her decisions, including her reluctance to remain separated from them on Dragon Island. 85 224 290 326

As Dragon Emperor, Zi Yan becomes markedly more composed and ruthless when her people are threatened. She publicly executed two rebellious Peak Dou Venerates and prepared to eliminate the Three Dragon Kings rather than permit further division within the tribe. 355 361
