Background / History

The Witch first encounters Shi Jue in the Lower Realm. She immediately sees through his attempt to conceal his intentions; after sharing a meal, the two agree to join forces in robbing wealthy young cultivators. Their partnership proves effective during their pursuit of the Descendant of the Sea God and information concerning Sea Blue Divine Gold. At this time, she is operating in the Lower Realm through a Spirit Body while her true body remains in the Upper Realm. 53 55

She becomes involved in the rivalry between the Heaven Cutting Sect and the Heaven Mending Sect, repeatedly provoking Yue Chan. She proposes settling their sects' conflict through battle and later continues taunting Yue Chan when the latter arrives in the Imperial Capital seeking Qingyi. 63 130

During the conflict with descending enemies, the Witch sacrifices herself. Her sacrifice drives Shi Jue into a rage and motivates his subsequent slaughter of Zhao Fei and three other opponents. 135

Afterward, she leaves the Heaven Cutting Sect and relinquishes the Saintess position to Wan'er in order to pursue her other half. She reunites with Shi Jue by tracking him with an ancient Gu insect, and he acknowledges her as his second Dao Companion. 149 150

In Immortal Ancient, she travels alongside Shi Jue through dangerous ruins, helps investigate the Three Lives Bronze Coffin, acquires the Black Lotus Fire, and tames the Hui Snake Hua Yun. She later successfully ignites her Divine Fire and cultivates Immortal Qi. 168 170 171 188 196

Appearance

The Witch is noted for her stunning, captivating beauty and carries herself with conspicuous confidence. 62 182

• Has a fox tail, which she teasingly offers Shi Jue permission to touch. 60
• Often goes barefoot. 150
• Her beauty draws unwanted attention, including from Li Bading at Qinglin Garden. 62

Personality

The Witch is carefree, self-assured, and unconcerned with preserving a conventional image. She is quick to recognize deception, enjoys teasing others, and is willing to associate with Shi Jue despite his reputation for underhanded methods. 53

She frequently treats conflict as entertainment, particularly when she can provoke Yue Chan or involve herself in Shi Hao's plans against the Martial King's Mansion. Her teasing can be flirtatious, but she also establishes clear boundaries when Shi Jue presses too far. 54 62 96

Beneath her playful manner, she is protective of Shi Jue, worries for his safety before the conflict with the descending gods, and remains determined enough to abandon her Saintess position to pursue her own goal. 131 149
