Background

Long Yanran came to Ling Yun's villa in desperation after Beibei's apparent death, begging him to save the child. She found Beibei alive upstairs, embraced her in tears, and thanked Ling Yun for giving her life again. Although Ling Yun denied reviving Beibei, Yanran accepted his cover story, agreed to keep the matter secret, and arranged for Beibei to remain in Jiangbei safely. An apple Ling Yun gave her also healed her internal injuries. 70

Her secrecy was compromised when Ye Fei hypnotized her and learned from her that Ling Yun was the King of Hell. 103 She nonetheless continued protecting Ling Yun's secrets, including helping Xu Le provide a false explanation for the miraculous fruit that healed Lin Jinhu and cured her own poison. 172

Ling Yun later entrusted her with a cultivation technique, restoring her injuries and greatly raising her strength. 245 As the group’s journeys expanded beyond Blue Star, Yanran became one of the children’s principal guardians and instructors.

Personality

Long Yanran is protective and attentive toward the children. She sets boundaries when Qianqian and Beibei attempt to skip dance lessons or sneak out, but frequently indulges them with outings, snacks, and small comforts. 333 470 1609

She is discreet and prudent around dangerous information. Her decision to conceal Beibei's revival and her refusal of Master Xuanzhen's sarira reflect her caution and humility. 70 1627

Despite presenting herself as a refined, gentle woman, Yanran has a forceful temper when provoked. She is willing to fight, confront threats, and punish Xu Le when she believes he has acted improperly. She characterizes herself as having “gentleness within violence.” 243 309 363 434

Yanran is also shrewd and humorous. She can negotiate with the children over Spirit Stones, exploit their fear of Ling Yun’s punishment, and use her familiarity with Qianqian’s tastes to bargain with others. 1570 1632
