Background / History

Nangong Yiyi was sealed inside a bottle until Martial Uncle released her. She thanked Li Yutong's group and agreed to assist them, though she initially acted with anger toward the villagers connected to her resentment. When she attacked Qianqian, she stopped at Li Yutong's plea. 21

She became an important presence within the Yin Gathering Token alongside Qianqian and the Nameless Man. Although tempted by the token's self-generating yin energy, she did not try to take it because of the Ghost Oath. 30

Her Soul Artifact, the Lingxiao Jade Fan, was once damaged. By the conflict with the Abyssal Ghost King, she had repaired it and could wield it again in battle. 23 106

Personality

Nangong Yiyi is blunt, proud of her strength, and dismissive of opponents she considers inferior. She openly humiliates the Ghost King of Youqu and shows little patience for his attempts at intimidation. 107 110

Despite her forceful manner, she is protective of Li Yutong, Qianqian, and their companions. She repeatedly prioritizes their safety, returns to help Li Yutong during a dangerous pursuit, and takes Qianqian under her protection during the group's escape from Yin soldiers. 115 377 414

She is also practical and clear-headed. She warns Li Yutong about powerful cultivators, explains the risks surrounding ghost cultivation and the Spirit Guide technique, and seeks outside assistance when an Underworld mission exceeds the group's capabilities. 41 365 472
