Background

Xiao Qi served as an attendant at Nine Realms Station before Jiang Xueming arrived. Her training included exposure to footage of surface operations against Armadillo Hunters and other spiritual incidents. 164

Appearance

Xiao Qi alternates between a formal attendant's look and casual clothing. At Nine Realms Station, she commonly wears a driver's uniform and cap; away from work, she favors jeans, T-shirts, baseball caps, dresses, and a high ponytail. 19 25 147

• Long, glossy black hair, often tied into a high ponytail. 116 147

• Her natural posture is described by Jiang Xueming as beautiful even when barefoot. 74

Personality

Xiao Qi is highly expressive, restless, and openly flirtatious. She quickly becomes physically familiar with Jiang Xueming upon meeting him, teasing him about his appearance and treating his arrival as a personal victory over the other attendants. 4

Her bravado often masks shyness. Although she speaks boldly about romance and intimacy, she becomes hesitant and quiet when faced with situations that might genuinely advance her relationship with Jiang Xueming. 25 303

She is deeply attentive to the people she considers hers. Her formal duties include caring for Jiang Xueming and Jiang Bailu's daily needs, health, safety, travel, enemies, and mental well-being. 29 She is also emotionally volatile: her Madness Index reaches A+, and strong feelings can affect her physical condition. 301

Despite this instability, Xiao Qi can become exceptionally calm in danger. During combat, she shows clear tactical judgment, persistence, and a willingness to act under pressure. 498 508
