Background / History

Azure Scales grew up ostracized for her Snake-Human Hybrid identity. Apart from her mother, nobody had treated her gently; people avoided, insulted, and bullied her because of her mixed bloodline. 123

In Shi Mo City, Xiao Ze found her injured after children had bullied her. He gave her a healing pill, spoke to her without prejudice, and accepted her as a subordinate. Azure Scales led him to the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, then began serving him directly. 123

Xiao Ze made her his personal maid so that she would no longer be ordered about by others, and promised to teach her cultivation. Though initially convinced that she was only a servant unworthy of such treatment, she accepted his offer and resolved to remain at his side. 124

While Xiao Ze was away, the Xiao Family treated Azure Scales with the status of a young miss because she was his exclusive maid. The younger members of the family, particularly the girls, befriended her. 150 After returning to the Inner Academy with Xiao Ze, she awakened the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils by contracting a snake-type Magical Beast. 150

Her rapid growth continued through contracts with snake-type Magical Beasts. Xiao Ze deliberately had her advance steadily rather than forcing dangerous contracts beyond her capacity, while Xiao Yi Xian also assisted her in capturing suitable Magical Beasts during his absence. 151 180

Azure Scales' pupils led Xiao Ze to the remains of a Nine-Headed Ancient Heavenly Snake in the Ancient Mountain Range. She subdued and refined its soul, gaining a Nine-Headed Ancient Heavenly Snake mark on her forehead and approaching the Dou Zun threshold. 241 243 245 248 She later used the snake's soul to release the seal on the Ten Thousand Year Source Blood Crystal. 251

After becoming a Dou Zun, Azure Scales independently eliminated Soul Hall squads operating in the Pill Region and reported their infiltration to Elder Liu Tian. She subsequently aided the Alchemist Tower in suppressing the Three Thousand Starry Sky Burning Flame. 300 301

During the conflict with the Misty Cloud Sect and Soul Hall, Azure Scales provided the Dark Alliance with contracted snake-type Magical Beasts and personally confronted two peak Two-Star Dou Venerates. She trapped them and sent them crashing into the Misty Cloud Sect's ranks, ending the battle. 330 331

She later traveled with Xiao Ze and his companions through the Beast Region, Ancient Dragon Island, the Ancient Desolate Region, and the Spatial Trade Fair. At the trade fair, she discovered a Nine-Colored Raw Stone that could greatly enhance Queen Medusa's bloodline. 379 474 539 541 552

Appearance

Azure Scales first appears as a petite, timid girl, but later grows into a graceful young woman. Her mixed Snake-People bloodline gives her an unintentional charm that becomes more pronounced as she matures. 123 199 221

• Her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils manifest as three rotating jade-green flowers within her eyes. 150 243
• After refining the Nine-Headed Ancient Heavenly Snake's soul, she gains a dark-red miniature Nine-Headed Ancient Heavenly Snake mark on her forehead. 248
• Her pupils can release intense jade-green light capable of mentally affecting unprepared experts. 248 297
• She is described as having a delicate, shapely figure and the distinctive allure of Snake-People bloodline. 199 258

Personality

Azure Scales begins fearful, self-deprecating, and unused to kindness. She initially considers herself a “lowly” hybrid and worries that accepting even a healing pill is wasteful. 123 Xiao Ze's protection gradually gives her confidence, purpose, and a powerful desire to cultivate.

She is deeply loyal to Xiao Ze and measures much of her own worth by whether she can help or protect him. Her affection is sincere and emotionally intense; she fears being sent away, treasures rare opportunities to travel alone with him, and becomes jealous of his closeness with Queen Medusa. 189 242 258

Despite her gentle disposition, Azure Scales is decisive when Xiao Ze, the Alchemist Tower, or her allies are threatened. She willingly kills Soul Hall forces, remains cautious enough to erase evidence after battle, and shows open hostility toward those who covet her pupils or seek to harm Xiao Ze. 249 300 301 394
