Background / History

Ai Chen met Xue Xi during the Peak Genius Tournament finals. Xue Xi approached her with pineapple juice, intrigued by her race; Ai Chen accepted the gift and was immediately captivated by its flavor. Their first exchange became the beginning of a close friendship. 77

During the tournament, Ai Chen defeated Qianshui to enter the top five. She openly looked forward to fighting Xue Xi and specifically asked her not to hold back against her. Although she suffered losses later in the tournament, she remained resilient and sought comfort from Xue Xi after it ended. 85 86

Ai Chen later became a member of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Region. Her achievements elevated the Dream Conch Wing Race's standing among the Angel Race, and her people welcomed her home as their Holy Maiden. 203

After eighty years apart from Xue Xi, Ai Chen asked to accompany her on interstellar travels. Xue Xi agreed only after Ai Chen arranged an avatar for safety; Ai Chen selected a Light-Time Attribute Origin Body and successfully gestated it half a year later. 177 180

While traveling on Liyuan Planet, Ai Chen assisted Xue Xi in investigating its hidden slave-trading underworld. She supported the rescue of enslaved people, proposed relying on a trusted King-rank elder from her clan to return them home, and personally fought the slave trader Hamis. 184 188 200 201

Appearance

Ai Chen is a winged Angel Race beauty commonly associated with snow-white feathers and light-based techniques. Her wings are both a defining visual feature and an indicator of Angel Race bloodline purity and potential. 77 202

Personality

Ai Chen initially presents herself as a cold, aloof “genius” figure, but later admits that this was a deliberate persona. In private, she is expressive, easily flustered, fond of teasing Xue Xi, and highly enthusiastic about food. 247

She is fiercely loyal and protective toward Xue Xi. When rumors attacked Xue Xi's position in the Primal Secret Region, Ai Chen was enraged enough to teleport directly to her friend’s location. 143

Ai Chen is also impulsive and short-tempered when she believes someone has treated Xue Xi unfairly. Despite this, she can be considerate: she declined her clan’s proposed farewell ceremony because she knew Xue Xi would dislike being the center of a large public event. 182 216
