Background

Hai Bodong once traveled with Mite'er Teng Shan and Ya Fei's grandmother. The three eventually established the faction that became the Mite'er Family. Both Hai Bodong and Teng Shan developed feelings for their sole female companion, but Hai Bodong left before confessing, driven by an urgent need to pursue greater strength. 141

After attaining the Dou Emperor realm, Hai Bodong discovered an ancient map fragment and fought Queen Medusa for it. He escaped with the fragment, but Medusa pursued him for over ten thousand miles and sealed his strength. Reduced to a Dou Ling, he spent decades operating a map shop in Desert City while searching for a way to break the seal. 100 141

Appearance

Hai Bodong initially appears as an aged man, but regains his youth after recovering his Dou Emperor strength. He is later described as somewhat handsome, though his usual expression and aura remain frosty and intimidating. 147 158

• Often conceals himself beneath black robes while investigating or intimidating opponents. 121 149 150
• Projects a pervasive cold that can frost or freeze nearby surroundings. 101 121
• Manifests snow-white Dou Qi wings for flight. 150
• Can form finely controlled ice constructs, including a smooth, non-chilling chair for Xiao Bai. 246

Personality

Hai Bodong is proud, combative, and deeply conscious of the reputation he built as the Ice Emperor. When Xiao Bai learns of the map fragment and his connection to the Mite'er Family, Hai Bodong is willing to kill to keep those secrets buried. 102

His pride resurfaces after his strength is restored: he questions Xiao Bai’s caution around the Xiao Family and secretly investigates the estate despite being warned not to provoke it. The encounter with multiple hidden Dou Emperor-level figures makes him considerably more cautious. 148 150 151

His loyalty to Xiao Bai originates from Light Purification and Light Sublimation, which alter his memories concerning Xiao Bai and leave him fervently devoted. He nevertheless proves dependable in practice, carrying out dangerous assignments, gathering intelligence, and seeking to perform well when entrusted with responsibility. 123 124 128 131

Hai Bodong remains emotionally affected by his past. Ya Fei’s identity and memories of her grandmother provoke a violent reaction, while his decades-old defeat at Medusa’s hands continues to drive his desire for revenge. 140 141 262
