Background

Gu Yuan brings Xun'er to the Xiao Clan and entrusts her to Xiao Ling. In return for taking care of her, Xiao Ling receives a mid-tier Earth-tier fire-attribute cultivation method, the Flame Sun Technique. The Xiao Clan publicly identifies Xun'er as a branch-clan member returning to the ancestral fold, while its senior members warn the younger generation not to provoke her. 4

Her original assignment was to search the Xiao Clan for a piece of Ancient Jade. Gu Yuan also instructs her to remain near Xiao Ling and build goodwill with him if the jade is connected to him. Ling Ying accompanies her in secret as her protector. 4

Xun'er initially suffers from a meridian problem involving receding icy energy. Xiao Ling spends thirty years of lifespan to obtain a Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed, whose gentle energy begins repairing her meridians after she swallows it. 16 17

Earth Core Life Pulse Marrow later activates her bloodline ahead of schedule. She privately reveals to Xiao Ling that it is not merely ninth-rank, but a peak tenth-rank God-Tier Bloodline—an inheritance with a possible path toward the Dou Di barrier. The revelation makes her vulnerable to being reclaimed by the Ancient Clan, so Xiao Ling resolves to keep it secret and does not send her away. 60 61 62

Appearance

Xun'er is repeatedly described as a petite girl with a porcelain-doll-like face and an elegant, lotus-like bearing. 4 79 80

• Large, expressive eyes and curved willow eyebrows. 5 79
• Small, perky nose and cherry-like mouth. 79
• Often wears a short purple dress. 65 80
• Her mature composure is notably unusual for her age. 4 61

Personality

Xun'er is intelligent, observant, and unusually mature. She quickly recognizes the value of Xiao Ling's cultivation methods, understands the danger surrounding her bloodline, and can make arrangements for others' protection without being prompted. 5 60 61

Around Xiao Ling, she is affectionate, playful, and occasionally spoiled. She guards his seclusion, waits for his return from journeys, prepares a birthday surprise for him, and supports him when he is burdened by guilt over Rong Xiaodie. 6 36 77 158

She is also protective and jealous where Xiao Ling is concerned. She sharply challenges Ya Fei to state what she can offer in exchange for Xiao Ling's help, and she becomes wary when he devotes attention to other women. 106 110
