Background and History
Hai Bodong was a prominent Dou Emperor of the Gamma Empire and an elder of the Miter Family. Decades before meeting Ling Li, he accompanied his friend Xia Mang into the Snake People Clan’s sacred grounds to steal treasures. On a second visit, Queen Medusa captured them and sealed their Dou Qi. Hai Bodong escaped during Xia Pan’s attempted rescue, but remained subject to Medusa’s seal for decades 94 106.
He settled in Desert City and ran an Ancient Map Shop while pursuing the secret of a fragmented Remnant Map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame. When Ling Li found a piece in the shop, Hai Bodong used its defensive array to confront him. Zi Yan broke the restriction, allowing Ling Li to capture him. Hai Bodong surrendered his remaining map fragment after Zi Yan tortured him 92 93 96.
Ling Li offered to restore his power in exchange for five years of service. After the Breaking Calamity Pill broke Medusa’s seal, Hai Bodong traveled with Ling Li’s group, though the Heart Devouring Silkworms placed in his body let Ling Li threaten his life if he disobeyed. Over time, Hai Bodong came to respect Ling Li’s abilities and considered following him as a possible route to Dou Zong 96 103 104 116.
Hai Bodong later helped develop Ling Li’s Mercenary Guild: his arrival enabled Ya Fei to begin establishing it, and he brought more than half of the Miter Family in as shareholders. He also protected the guild’s holdings, including the Black Emperor Pavilion 176 215.
Appearance
In Desert City, Hai Bodong appears elderly and haggard, with a scarred face. As his strength returns, his grizzled hair regains its former blue color and the wrinkles on his face begin to fade 92 97 159.
- Hair: Blue when restored; grizzled while weakened 92 159.
- Face: Scarred, with an increasingly youthful appearance as he recovers 92 159.
Personality
Hai Bodong is proud of his former status and initially resists being subdued. He is also cautious: he spent decades lying low under Medusa’s seal and warns Ling Li against confronting her. His fear of Zi Yan persists even after he regains Dou Emperor strength 90 92 103 104 129.
His attitude toward Ling Li shifts from resentment to respect and deference. He credits Ling Li for helping restore his power and remains with him despite the control imposed by the Heart Devouring Silkworms 116 129 160 220 313.
