Background

Xue Xi was a 21st-century shut-in and gourmet enthusiast before an accident in a library sent her into Swallowed Star, her favorite novel. The sentient Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Gourmet Catalog transmigrated with her and integrated into her mind, where she could access it through consciousness. 1

She awakened in a dilapidated Wilderness Zone hotel surrounded by beast roars and without communications. After cleaning its restaurant, she established a Gourmet Anchor, gaining restaurant-management functions, teleportation, and invulnerability within a 1,000-meter range; the anchor could not give her the unrestricted control of time and space she initially expected. 1

Rather than return to safety, Xue Xi made the abandoned hotel into a restaurant. Her food quickly attracted Martial Artists, including War God Lu Gang, who investigated reports that her dishes could help people comprehend movement techniques. 6 She also subdued and adopted a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, later named Little Wolf, after its attempt to bite her failed against her invulnerable body. 4

As her cuisine spread, the Catalog’s Great Book became the central mechanism of her cultivation. It accelerated her when dissemination goals were met but prevented her from breaking through when they were not, forcing her to build strength through both cooking and the spread of Huaxia cuisine. 37

Appearance

Xue Xi is a petite young woman whose appearance changes with her travel, cultivation, and combat circumstances. She was first described with a soft dark-brown, ear-length bob, later wearing her longer chestnut hair loose or tied into a tea-colored high ponytail. 3 68 186

• Often wears practical battle armor while fighting; during the Genius Tournament, she used light-green armor while carrying a kitchen knife and spatula. 71
• Wears traditional Huaxia-style robes for formal occasions, including flowing white robes with wide sleeves. 69
• Her combat attire can manifest from the Cloud-Thin Treasure Armor as a fitted battle dress. 186
• Uses kitchen utensils as weapons, a trait so conspicuous that opponents in the Genius Tournament recognized her as “The Chef.” 71

Personality

Xue Xi is adaptable and pragmatic. Stranded in a monster-filled Wilderness Zone, she focused first on securing her restaurant, learning the Catalog’s restrictions, and acquiring the resources needed to survive. 1 She is equally willing to use advanced cosmic equipment, seek information, travel for rare ingredients, and delegate political administration when those choices support her culinary goals. 59 74

Cooking is both her craft and obsession. She treats food as an art shaped by human emotion rather than mechanical precision, and she is willing to challenge dangerous creatures or travel into hazardous regions when they might become ingredients. 55 205 Her tendency to identify enemies as potential dishes has also fueled rumors that she is a cannibal. 71

Although usually playful and generous with food, Xue Xi is cautious about threats and uncompromising toward slave traders. Her hatred of slave trafficking stems from her past, and she becomes notably harsher when confronting those involved in the trade. 295

Abilities & Skills

Intangible Cultural Heritage Gourmet Catalog

The Catalog is a sentient, mind-integrated record of recipes and culinary inheritances. It unlocks dishes, tools, cultivation resources, and special rewards as Xue Xi fulfills its requirements. 1 11

• Its Great Book rewards can act as a catalyst for realm advancement once dissemination goals are complete. 37
• Unlocking the Cat Ear inheritance granted her Myriad Manifestation Water. 11
• The Catalog later supplied golden recipes with effects beyond conventional cultivation, including a recipe capable of enabling clone gestation despite the usual True God restriction. 167
• Its rewards can also provide rare utility effects, such as Nuodeng Ham’s ability to conceal rules and obstruct inspections or censored information. 286

• Law of Time — Mastered Time Reversal after her King Immortal breakthrough. 275
• Space-Time Control — Used her power to freeze Menyue in space-time before sealing it within her Internal World. 231 232

Invincible Domain

The Gourmet Anchor originally made Xue Xi invulnerable and able to teleport within its 1,000-meter restaurant range. 1 Its later Invincible Domain form became her greatest combat resource.

• Reached peak True God-stage combat potential when activated. 321
• Is restricted by the Primordial Universe, limiting its manifested output to peak sixth-rank power. 321
• Enables her to perceive high-speed battles and exert overwhelming suppression against stronger opponents. 230 321

World Power, Internal World, and Clones

• Her World Projection suppressed World Lords with an estimated 300 billion kilometers of World Power. 186
• She used World Power to conceal herself and Ai Chen while infiltrating an underground criminal operation. 184
• Her Internal World can suspend time; Menyue was sealed there in a state where time had stopped. 232
