Background

Xiao Jie initially serves Ning Xuan as a loyal maidservant. She follows him without question when he abruptly evacuates the mountain manor, and later prepares valuables for a possible escape because she fears for his safety 5 9.

She becomes Ning Xuan's concubine, known as Madam Jie. Although initially identified simply as a maid, she proves capable of managing practical affairs: she purchases a mansion near Kushi Zen Temple, hires maids, and organizes Ning Xuan's relocation from the Ning residence 31.

Her former identity is Bai Yufei, a prominent female thief in the martial world. Flying Eagle Tower seeks her custody, and Ning Xuan learns that her background has been investigated because something about her inspires obsessive interest in others 48. Xiao Jie subsequently discloses her family's connection to the Hehuan Sect and the Lingyan Small Group Skill 49.

In the Western Regions, she accompanies Ning Xuan and Lu Xuezhi to the Five Poisons Cult. She chooses the Toad inheritance but finds the ancient method difficult to learn despite her prior martial foundation 75 77. During the mountain-sealing crisis, she is revealed to be alive and holding the Five Poisons Cult's Poison Yuan Human Molt; Mei Jingang protects her, and a motherly bond develops between them 82.

Ten years later, Xiao Jie returns with a Monster Beast King she has tamed. She interferes with Ruan Qingzhu's Foundation Establishment and uses the resulting resources to reach Fifth-grade 92.

Appearance

Xiao Jie is petite and agile, with a deceptively slight build suited to stealth and infiltration.

• Can shrink her bones 49.
• Moves silently and catlike when infiltrating, including climbing to roof beams 77.
• Has fair skin and small, weak-looking fists 49.
• Is described as a “petite black shadow” while operating as Bai Yufei in the nightmare world 77.

Personality

Xiao Jie is intensely loyal to Ning Xuan and consistently anxious about his safety. Her loyalty is practical as well as emotional: she manages his household, attempts to prevent him from taking risks, and seeks to support him during conflicts 9 31 61.

She is also clever, seductive, and politically aware. She ties Ning Xuan to his bed to keep him from going out, outmaneuvers Qin Yi'er's attempt to seduce him, and uses displays of vulnerability or affection to secure her place at his side 14 47 74. Although she can perform confidence and devotion, she privately prefers avoiding dangerous confrontations when possible 77.
