Background / History

Ming Yi first contacts Wu Hen at his home after the revelation of humanity's true situation. Wearing a purple headscarf, she explains that locating the Nuwa Divine Terminal could earn Wu Hen formal membership and dependent protection for his family. Having recognized his auditory synesthesia, she proposes recruiting him into her squad if he succeeds. 8

After Wu Hen returns through a Soul-Resting Tree, Ming Yi guides him to her team with a mechanical Green Cicada. She finds him near a parasitic Eyed-Insect Tree, initially suspects that he has been infected by a Pupil Worm, and uses Five-Colored Liquid to confirm that he is unharmed. 28 29

Ming Yi's squad is assigned to destroy Insect-Eyed Trees and prevent their parasitic spread into the human homeland. When Wu Hen reports that Insect-Eyed Half-Humans are attacking medical supply depots in Licheng, she recognizes the larger threat and rewards him with a Yuan You despite its value. 30

At the Nuwa Divine Terminal, Ming Yi helps Wu Hen receive an Original Body through the Colored Resin Temple Pool. She personally prays for his new body to be “more handsome” and “more robust,” then explains that his spirit-opened body has higher physical and sensory limits. 42 43

She later brings Wu Hen into the Patrollers' expedition into the Locust Evil Degree. During the journey through Yin Province, her Thunder Radiance-level strength becomes vital to the team's survival against the White Bone Yin Ants. 45 49 50

Appearance

Ming Yi is described as a tall, slender, and curvaceous woman whose graceful presence contrasts sharply with her violent combat style. 29

• Wore a purple headscarf during her first meeting with Wu Hen. 8
• Often wears a sparrow-red combat suit with the close fit of leather and the apparent toughness of titanium alloy. 29
• Her battle suit has been compared to a light mecha or Ming Martial Battle Suit. 29
• In combat, crystalline armor resembling thin silkworm wings emerges over her skin and burns with vermilion flames. 49
• Is likened to a colorful sparrow when she leaps or rides her mechanical eagle. 30 42

Personality

Ming Yi is lively, self-assured, and sharp-tongued outside combat. She openly praises herself as “cute, charming, youthful, heroic,” and beautiful, and she readily trades banter with Captain Qin and Wu Hen. 8 45

She is also compassionate and responsible. She travels to investigate whether Wu Hen has been parasitized, worries about people using false Soul-Resting Trees, and gives him a Yuan You so that he can better protect himself. 29 30

In battle, Ming Yi becomes focused, decisive, and exceptionally ruthless. Her response to threats—including the Stone-Moss Toad, Insect-Eyed Ancient Trees, and White Bone Yin Ants—has earned her a reputation for the “aesthetics of violence.” 29 34 49

Abilities & Skills

Thunder Radiance Corona

Ming Yi is a Thunder Radiance-level Awakened, placing her above Night Gloom and below Azure Haze in the Patrollers' Corona classification. Her strength substantially improves her group's odds of survival in Yin Province. 45 49 50

• Her Corona and combat power can repel or destroy large numbers of Desolate Dust creatures. 49
• She is confident that she can eventually surpass an Azure Haze-level human powerhouse. 46
• Her Spirit Crown alone cannot reliably protect her against the suppression and swarms within Yin Province. 49

Flame Manipulation

Ming Yi channels vermilion fire through her body and battle suit, using large-scale flame attacks against hostile creatures. 34 49

• Releases a brilliant palm pulse described as phoenix breath, capable of detonating a valley and destroying an Insect-Eyed Ancient Tree. 34
• Forms flaming wings and a Fire Hurricane to incinerate White Bone Yin Ants. 49
• Can manifest and launch a massive Fire Sparrow to force the Yin Ant swarm to redistribute its defenses. 49
• Her attacks can destroy ant formations, but the swarm's hive mind can rapidly rebuild its structures. 49

Spiritual Perception

Ming Yi possesses perception strong enough to observe the movement and distribution of White Bone Yin Ants within Yin Province's living architecture. 49

• Identified that the Tomb Wall blocking her route had been assembled by drawing ants away from nearby structures. 49
• Located a thinner section of the wall by moving laterally through the side streets. 49
• Recognized the danger of the Locust Evil Degree's expansion and immediately moved to investigate the Thin Boundary. 44

Combat Skill

Ming Yi combines aerial mobility, close-quarters strikes, and powerful ranged attacks. 29 34

• Kicked a Stone-Moss Toad repeatedly into the air until it regurgitated her mechanical Green Cicada. 29
• Escaped a White Bone Yin Ant encirclement with Fei Ying by exploiting the swarm's shifting formation. 49
• Volunteered to participate in Yin Province's dangerous temple-fair challenge when the other squad members hesitated. 50

Equipment / Items

• Mechanical Green Cicada — A precision mechanical insect used to guide Wu Hen toward Ming Yi's squad. 28
• Mechanical Green Eagle — The Green Cicada's expanded form; serves as Ming Yi's aerial transport. 30 44
• Sparrow-red battle suit — Protective combat attire that supports her mobility and flame-based fighting. 29 49
• Five-Colored Liquid — Used to test for and potentially treat early Pupil Worm parasitism. 29 30
• Yuan You — Ming Yi gives one to Wu Hen so he can return safely and strengthen himself. 30

Relationships

• Wu Hen — Recruit, first apprentice, and frequent bantering partner. Ming Yi recognizes his auditory synesthesia, recruits him for her squad, helps him obtain an Original Body, and supports his growth. 8 30 42 46
• Qin Sheng — Her captain and teammate. They regularly exchange sharp remarks, though he trusts her abilities and operational judgment. 8 34 45
• Fei Ying — Fellow Patroller and combat partner. Ming Yi coordinates with her to escape the White Bone Yin Ant swarm. 49
• Nuwa Divine Terminal / Nuwa Divine Mother — Ming Yi is reverent toward the Divine Terminal and assists in guiding humanity's return and rebirth there. 43
• White Peacock Man — A member of the expedition who appears hostile toward Wu Hen and is implied to be interested in Ming Yi. 45
