Background / History

Gu Yue entered the Star Dou Forest through the Spirit Pagoda while appearing to be around ten years old. Though the Spirit Pagoda personnel who processed her entry were stronger than she was at the time, they treated her with exceptional deference because of her status. 1

As the Master of Soul Beasts, Gu Yue was injured and captured by the ten-year soul beast Xia Yi after underestimating him. The Great Beasts of the Star Dou Forest answered her distress and incapacitated Xia Yi. Rather than retaliate after his evolution through consuming her blood, Gu Yue ordered an investigation into similar soul beasts and chose to protect him. 2 3

When the Plane Master forcibly transformed Xia Yi into a human, Gu Yue accepted responsibility for his future. She arranged for Di Tian and Zi Ji to train him, then sent him toward Eastsea City and Shrek Academy's Zero Class so he could cultivate in the human world. 5 6

Gu Yue initially became emotionally compromised by Tang Wulin, to the point that she was prepared to risk Bi Ji's life to save him. Xia Yi, Di Tian, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji exposed this through a staged injury, forcing her to confront her duties as Master of Soul Beasts. 8 10 12

She later joined the Spirit Pagoda as Leng Yaozhu's disciple. Under Leng Yaozhu's guidance, Gu Yue became more willing to examine her feelings, relationships, and methods of dealing with Xia Yi. 81 82

Gu Yue and Xia Yi eventually confirmed their relationship before Leng Yaozhu, who gave them paired Phoenix Heart-Linked Jade pendants. Gu Yue explicitly affirmed that her feelings were not dependent on Xia Yi's strength or future martial-soul evolution. 186 187

Her later efforts focus on the survival and future of soul beasts. She studies the River Map and Luo Scroll, uncovers that soul-beast luck is being stolen, and begins preparing a response. She also envisions creating a new God Realm for soul beasts. 212 229 239

Appearance

Gu Yue initially appears as a delicate, pretty black-haired and black-eyed girl of about ten, with bright, spirited eyes and a well-proportioned build. 1 After three years, she grows into a tall, slender young woman over 1.7 meters tall, with a near-perfect figure and a more mature presence. 104

• Black hair and black eyes in her initial human appearance. 1
• Her true appearance and identity are later revealed to Leng Yaozhu and Long Yali. 488

Personality

Gu Yue is proud, intelligent, and deeply conscious of her authority as Master of Soul Beasts. She takes the position seriously and values the responsibility it places on her, even while trying to transfer some of its burdens to Xia Yi. 532 533

She is strategic and politically perceptive. Gu Yue investigates threats to soul beasts, plans around the Holy Spirit Cult, directs Xia Yi to aid Yuanen Yehui for long-term reasons, and uses the Demon Empress in her search for the Dragon Ascension Pillar. 60 280 535

Despite her pride, Gu Yue is emotionally vulnerable where Xia Yi is concerned. Xia Yi's early manipulation made her fear his schemes, while Leng Yaozhu's advice helped her become less guarded and more direct about her feelings. 12 81 245

She is willing to make personal sacrifices for the broader interests of the soul beasts and Dragon Clan, including considering Xia Hong's place beside Xia Yi if it would advance their shared future. 212
