Background / History

Ya Fei was transferred by her clan to oversee the Mittal Auction House in Wutan City. Determined to take control of her own future, she sought a way to distinguish herself within the Mite'er Family rather than merely relying on the branch's existing business. She believed securing an alchemist or a powerful ally was essential to raising the auction house's profits and her own standing. 9

She first became deeply interested in Xiao Yu after learning that he, rather than Xiao Yan, had defeated Jia Lie Ao and won a marketplace for the Xiao Clan. Though initially skeptical because Xiao Yu had long been considered stuck at the third stage of Dou Force, she grew curious after hearing that he had won with only three punches. 9

Ya Fei met Xiao Yu in the Xiao Clan marketplace after he intervened when mercenaries harassed her and Xue Li. She dealt with the offenders decisively, ordered one arm broken for each man, and accepted Xiao Yu's company while shopping. His bold teasing and restrained bearing left a strong impression on her. 11

As the Xiao Clan's conflict with the Jia Lie Clan escalated, Ya Fei cautiously refused to immediately commit the auction house's medicinal-herb supply exclusively to the Xiao Clan. After the Xiao Clan demonstrated its hidden strength, she accompanied Gu Ni to apologize and sought cooperation with Xiao Yu. 19 21 22

Xiao Yu made marriage his condition for cooperation. Ya Fei initially resisted, but married him three days later and placed her trust in his promise to elevate both the Xiao Clan and her position within the Mite'er Family. 22

She later became a mother and remained involved in the Xiao Clan's commercial development. She advocated establishing an Alchemist Guild branch in Wutan City to draw alchemists, trade, and visitors to the city. 42 46

When Ya Fei returned to the Imperial Capital with Xiao Yu and their daughter, the Mite'er Family received her warmly. The family's auction business had expanded substantially through goods supplied by Xiao Yu, including medicinal products, Beast Taming Talisman Cards, and Multi-functional Array Disks. 58

Appearance

Ya Fei is a mature and striking woman whose appearance is frequently associated with the red clothing she wears while managing the auction house. 9

• Has dark hair, often described as tucked behind her ear. 9
• Possesses cherry-red lips and a graceful, curvaceous figure. 9

Personality

Ya Fei is ambitious and keenly aware that her status within the Mite'er Family depends on results. She personally oversees auctions, pursues profitable opportunities, and recognizes that appearance alone cannot make an auction house successful. 9

She is also cautious in business. When Xiao Yu proposed monopolizing Wutan City's medicinal-herb supply, she immediately understood that the arrangement would place the Xiao Clan against the Jia Lie and Aoba Clans, and refused to decide carelessly. 19

Despite her composed public image, Ya Fei enjoys teasing Xue Li and trading playful remarks with Xiao Yu. She is not easily intimidated in a negotiation, but recognizes when she must treat Xiao Yu as an equal rather than relying on her usual charms. 9 17 22

Her decisiveness is especially visible when she handles threats directly, as shown by her punishment of the mercenaries who harassed her in the marketplace. 11
