Background / History
Family and Arranged Marriage
Ning Rongrong grew up as Ning Fengzhi’s cherished daughter, with Chen Xin and Gu Rong treating her as their own granddaughter. Her father raised her after her mother’s death. Following his late wife’s instructions, he arranged Rongrong’s marriage to the mysterious youth he had preserved in the sect’s forbidden grounds 1 3 4.
Initially bashful and reluctant, Rongrong agreed to kiss the apparently lifeless Ye Xingchen after learning that the request came from her mother. He opened his eyes as she approached and returned the kiss, leaving her embarrassed. Ning Fengzhi then declared him the sect’s Young Master and Rongrong’s husband 2 3.
Their wedding took place that night, with Chen Xin officiating. Although Ning Fengzhi intended to keep the marriage private, Rongrong later called Ye Xingchen her husband in front of the sect’s disciples, forcing her father to confirm it publicly 3 4 22.
On their wedding night, she mistook Ye Xingchen’s absorption of spiritual qi for evidence that he was a transformed Soul Beast and demanded that the marriage be called off. His unusual strength without Soul Rings further bewildered her. Despite her eventual agreement to spend the night with him, he chose to sleep separately rather than rely on the marriage arrangement to secure her affection 4 5 6 7.
Travels and Shrek Academy
Within days, Rongrong began openly referring to Ye Xingchen as her husband and accompanied him to the Frozen Forest for his first Soul Ring. When Spirit Hall pursuers attacked her while he was underwater, she used her pagoda, a Rainbow Ship, and her knowledge of Chen Xin’s hidden escort to resist them 11 15 16.
The couple later set out for Shrek Academy with Gu Rong escorting them partway and a million gold coins supplied by Ning Fengzhi. During the journey, Rongrong named the weakened Mutant White Tiger Xiao Bai, claimed her as a mount, and welcomed Zhu Zhuqing into their traveling party 23 28.
At Shrek, Rongrong became close to Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu. The three registered with Ye Xingchen as the Stunning Tang Sect Combination at Suotuo City’s Soul Fighting Arena. Her wealth also became a bargaining tool: she persuaded Flender to carry their shopping by offering to cover six months of academy food expenses 40 46.
Her loyalty was tested during the encounter with Erming. Rejecting Zhao Wuji’s order to withdraw, she pursued Ye Xingchen rather than abandon him. After he was carried into the forest, she remained distraught until their eventual reunion 61 62 66.
Martial Soul Evolution
Ye Xingchen discovered that the Aromatic Silk Beauty could overcome the defect in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Martial Soul and obtained it for Rongrong. Her pagoda subsequently evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, freeing her from its previous restrictions and opening the possibility of eventually becoming a god 99 102 113.
She later acquired another cultivation opportunity when Liu Erlong subdued the Pink Lady leader. Ye Xingchen brought the dying beast back for her and stood guard while she began absorbing its Soul Ring 118.
Five-Year Separation and Reunion
During Ye Xingchen’s five-year absence, Rongrong continually missed him and searched for news without success. She eagerly questioned Chrysanthemum Douluo when he finally brought word of his return, then rushed out of her carriage to embrace Ye Xingchen when they reunited 219 222.
Over those years, she, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing had become as close as sisters. On the journey back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Rongrong openly accepted the three of them remaining at Ye Xingchen’s side together 223.
Later Travels and the Shadow Army Threat
While traveling, Rongrong gave displaced villagers roughly a dozen gold coins and urged them to move somewhere safer. She later accompanied the group to Vast Sea City, where she lavishly bought fruit for the women 249 251.
After being rendered unconscious by icy poison, she was awakened by Ye Xingchen’s sea soul power, aided by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. She subsequently accompanied his group to the Sea God trials, though the supplied account does not identify her individual trial grade 265 277.
During the Shadow Army crisis, Rongrong demonstrated her evolved Martial Soul’s ability to strengthen an entire army, suggesting it might help resist the enemy. When Qian Renxue instead sought advice about pursuing Ye Xingchen, Rongrong asserted her standing as his rightful wife before offering advice 312.
Appearance
- Height: Approximately 168 centimeters 5.
- Hair: Glossy, jet-black hair 2 75.
- Features: Fair skin, delicate brows, and strikingly beautiful facial features 2.
- Build: A graceful figure with long legs 6.
Personality
Rongrong is mischievous, outspoken, and accustomed to being indulged. Known as a “Little Demoness,” she behaves more sweetly around her father but readily challenges outsiders. She dismisses Tang San’s criticism of her spending and initially treats academy rules as something her husband’s protection can help her ignore 6 38 45.
Her pride also makes her persistent. After Ye Xingchen suggests that she should learn to cook, she treats it as a challenge and continues despite kitchen fires, burned food, and half-cooked chicken. She recognizes her lack of wilderness cooking skills and agrees to keep practicing 23 25.
She is fiercely loyal to those she considers her own. She refuses to abandon Ye Xingchen before Erming, promises to stand by Xiao Wu even if others turn against her, and intervenes when she believes Zhu Zhuqing is receiving unwanted attention. Her generosity extends beyond her friends, as shown by her assistance to endangered villagers 34 61 152 249.
Rongrong eventually accepts Ye Xingchen’s relationships with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, but remains proud of being his formally married wife. She pointedly asserts that precedence when confronted by Huo Wu and later by Qian Renxue 136 223 312.
Abilities & Skills
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda
Her original Martial Soul specializes in support and enhancement 6 54.
- Strength and speed enhancement: She explicitly offers to boost Ye Xingchen’s strength and speed and uses both effects while supporting him against the Mutant White Tiger 26 54.
- Self-enhancement: Channels Soul Power into her hands and feet to increase her strength, speed, and defense while escaping an attacker 16.
- Defensive radiance: Produces rainbow light that intercepts an attack from the Nether Lightning Leopard Martial Soul 16.
- Invoked skills: Calls out “First: Strength, Second: Speed, Third: Soul” during the Frozen Forest ambush 16.
- Limits: Her enhancements do not erase major power differences; she is pressured by a level-53 Soul King and relies on escape measures and Chen Xin’s protection 16.
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda
The evolved form removes the restrictions previously placed on her Martial Soul and talent 113.
- Expanded potential: Ye Xingchen states that she may eventually become a god; this is a future possibility, not a confirmed attainment 113.
- Army-wide support: By Chapter 312, she demonstrates protection and strength amplification extending to an entire army. She proposes it as a possible countermeasure against the Shadow Army, rather than a guaranteed victory 312.
Tactical Resourcefulness
Rongrong combines quick reactions, sect resources, and psychological pressure rather than relying solely on direct combat 15 16 78.
- Notices her Martial Soul reacting to danger and immediately retreats before the ambush develops 15.
- Deploys a Rainbow Ship during the lakeside confrontation and reveals that Chen Xin is following them 16.
- Recognizes the leverage of her sect token and attempts to negotiate with Snake Grandma rather than immediately escalate their dispute 59.
- Deliberately needles Tang San before his duel with Ye Xingchen, describing the tactic as attacking an enemy’s psychological defenses 78.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Storage Pouch — Worn at her waist; holds items including her dagger and Rainbow Ship 5 16.
- Dagger — Used during her early confrontation with Ye Xingchen, for preparing fish, and later for searching defeated enemies 5 6 15 20.
- Rainbow Ship — A multicolored, sailboat-like vessel belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, noted for its exceptional speed 16.
- Sect plaque/token — Identifies her connection to the sect; used at a hotel and during negotiations with Snake Grandma 11 59.
- Xiao Bai — The weakened female Mutant White Tiger whom Rongrong names and claims as her mount 28.
Relationships
- Ye Xingchen — Husband. Their arranged marriage develops from embarrassment and suspicion into open affection and firm loyalty. She later calls it the best arrangement her father ever made for her 4 7 61 105.
- Ning Fengzhi — Father. Raises and indulges her, arranges her marriage according to her mother’s wishes, and finances her journey to Shrek Academy 1 4 23.
- Her mother — Deceased. Her instructions lead to Rongrong awakening Ye Xingchen and marrying him; hearing that the request came from her moves Rongrong to comply 1 2 4.
- Chen Xin — “Grandpa Sword,” a protective elder who regards her as a granddaughter. Officiates her wedding and secretly escorts her into the Frozen Forest 3 4 11 16.
- Gu Rong — “Grandpa Gu Rong,” another doting elder. Initially objects to the rushed marriage and promises to support her if she dislikes Ye Xingchen 1 3.
- Zhu Zhuqing — Close friend whom Rongrong calls her sister. She defends Zhu Zhuqing from Dai Mubai’s attention and later accepts sharing life with Ye Xingchen 34 56 223.
- Xiao Wu — Close friend and companion. Rongrong promises to support her even if she becomes everyone’s enemy; their bond deepens during Ye Xingchen’s absence 152 223.
- Tang San — Frequently antagonistic classmate. Rongrong rebukes his criticism of Ye Xingchen and calls for his expulsion after he injures Oscar 60 65.
- Qian Renxue — Seeks Rongrong’s advice about winning Ye Xingchen’s affection. Rongrong advises her to avoid predictable expressions of love while insisting on respect for her position as his rightful wife 312.
