Background

Chrysanthemum Douluo traveled overnight from Spirit Hall’s Main Hall to Nuo City on Bibi Dong’s orders to assess Xiao Xuan’s reported Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul. Initially skeptical, he was shocked by the martial souls’ dark, earth, death, thunder, and holy attributes, ultimately declaring that Xiao Xuan had exceeded all expectations. He personally brought the child away from Nuo City. 2

He escorted Xiao Xuan to the Soul Hunting Forest and assigned Hu Liena to help him acquire a first soul ring as part of her training. Though he claimed he would not intervene, he secretly observed the group and later disciplined Xie Yue, Yan, and Ling Kai for provoking Xiao Xuan. 3 8

After Bibi Dong accepted Xiao Xuan as a nominal disciple, Chrysanthemum Douluo was ordered to investigate the boy’s secrets and supervise both Xiao Xuan’s and Hu Liena’s cultivation. He subsequently served as their concealed guardian during journeys outside Spirit City. 16 18

During the Star Dou Great Forest incident, he attempted to protect Xiao Xuan and Hu Liena from the Titan Giant Ape, directly attacking it with his Ninth Soul Skill. The beast ignored his attack, struck him aside, and captured Xiao Xuan. Chrysanthemum Douluo later remained in the forest for days, refusing to abandon hope until he sensed Xiao Xuan alive. 46 48

Xiao Xuan later gave him the plant-compatible torso soul bone Thorn of Hatred, securing Chrysanthemum Douluo’s personal protection so long as it did not conflict with Spirit Hall’s interests. 51

Appearance

Chrysanthemum Douluo is depicted as a man with feminine eyes, an effeminate voice and mannerisms, and a habit of raising an orchid finger while speaking. He wears golden armor when formally receiving guests. 2 41

• Golden armor that reflects light brightly. 2
• Often manifests golden chrysanthemum petals around himself. 8
• Uses affected gestures and a distinctive orchid-finger pose. 41 54
• Appeared visibly haggard and exhausted after rushing from Spirit Hall to Nuo City. 2

Personality

Chrysanthemum Douluo is expressive, theatrical, and frequently complains about the pressure of serving within Spirit Hall’s inner circle. He can be vain, easily excited by rare treasures, and prone to speculation—sometimes inventing convincing explanations for Xiao Xuan’s unexplained abilities without being asked. 3 50 105

Despite his complaints, he is fiercely loyal to Bibi Dong and takes his duty toward Xiao Xuan seriously. He repeatedly acts as Xiao Xuan’s hidden protector, worries about the consequences of failing his assignments, and confronts stronger opponents when necessary. 16 46 61 162

He is also protective of Hu Liena, warning Xiao Xuan to treat her well after her distress over his disappearance in the Star Dou Great Forest. 49
