Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing originates from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire and was engaged to Dai Mubai through the traditional union between the Zhu and Dai families. Before gaining Bai Lu's aid, she was hunted by assassins and faced the prospect of being crushed by the family fate surrounding that engagement. She refused to surrender even while surrounded and injured. 2

Bai Lu, a wounded hundred-thousand-year soul beast, offered to sacrifice himself to her after seeing her unwillingness to accept fate. Zhu Zhuqing accepted despite the danger, determined that dying while pursuing her own future was preferable to passively accepting it. 2 8

The sacrifice transformed her prospects completely: she acquired Bai Lu as an intelligent soul ring and second Martial Soul, rose to level 30, and gained rare hundred-thousand-year-grade resources. She subsequently resolved to surpass not only her sister and Davis, but even the authority of her parents, so that she could decide her own future. 5

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhu Zhuqing repeatedly sought stronger soul beasts, soul bones, immortal herbs, whale rubber, and other cultivation resources. Her rapid growth drew the attention of Qian Daoliu, who accepted her into the Worship Hall as a secret transmission disciple and personally mentored her. 45 63 64

She later became the recognized Saintess of Martial Soul Hall and was cultivated as a candidate for the next Pope. 122

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a young woman with an exquisite face, amber eyes, a cool demeanor, and a notably athletic yet curvaceous build. Her usual bearing is aloof and difficult to approach, though Bai Lu persuades her to wear a white skirt on one occasion, revealing a gentler contrast to her normal dark clothing. 54 66

• Usually wears black, purple, or gray close-fitting clothing. 54
• Uses a silver mask and the alias Xiao Yue when concealing her identity. 30 31
• Her Martial Soul possession gives her cat-like traits, including sharp claws and cat ears. 8 16
• Her Eight Spider Lances later evolve into the Netherworld Slaughter Armor. 78
• Her killing intent becomes so intense after gaining the Asura God Inheritance that city guards fear to approach her. 182

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is reserved, cold-spoken, and initially distrustful of help offered without a price. She is not naturally eloquent, but she is highly observant and decisive. Once she accepts Bai Lu's partnership, she treats their fates as bound together and displays unwavering trust in his plans. 2 6 8

Her defining motivation is independence. She rejects Dai Mubai's request to work together, declaring that she can control her own destiny without him. She similarly dismisses Qian Renxue's recruitment attempt, judging status and inherited background to be meaningless without personal strength. 16 59

Zhu Zhuqing does not regard herself as bloodthirsty and refuses to kill innocents, but she is willing to kill hostile humans and soul beasts when doing so protects her or advances her cultivation. Continuous fighting in Death Valley makes her temperament increasingly icy and detached. 8 148

Despite her stern exterior, she shows protectiveness toward Ning Rongrong, gratitude toward Qian Daoliu, and increasing warmth and playfulness around Bai Lu. 93 182 232
