Physical Description

Lan is a handsome youth with long silver hair, sharp features, a high-bridged nose, thin lips, and pitch-black eyes. Even while seated, he carries a wild and unapproachable air 9. His physique is strong, well-defined, and explosively muscular; Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er are visibly stunned when he emerges bare-chested from a lake 22. Following his inheritance of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ power, his clothing is destroyed during the transformation, prompting the Ice Empress to notice his naked body and physical growth 63.

His usual demeanor is cold, composed, and aloof. His dark eyes rarely reveal emotion, though they become notably softer around the Ice Empress and Snow Empress 4 142. By the time of his appearance at Moonlight Pavilion, he wears a tailored black formal suit with an open collar 432.

Relationships

Ice Empress (Bing'er / Aunt Bing)

The Ice Empress is one of Lan’s earliest and most constant companions, having discovered him as a newborn abandoned in the Far North. From that moment she has acted as both a maternal figure and a teasing, affectionate partner. In his childhood, she openly doted on him—kissing him on the lips when he reached adulthood and playfully competing with the Snow Empress over who was closer to him 9 77 78. As Lan grew, their bond deepened into a romantic intimacy. She frequently seeks his physical affection, demanding kisses and acting spoiled when he shows attention to other women, such as when she teased him after his encounter with Huo Wu and later vied for his attention alongside the Snow Empress 216 328. Despite her flirtatious demeanor, the Ice Empress is fiercely loyal and protective. She shows concern for his well-being, such as when she worried about the mysterious energy beads he revealed 64, and she supports his ambitions without hesitation, accompanying him to Sea God Island and planning future challenges like targeting Tang Chen 327 408. Her straightforward nature often leads to playful rivalry with the Snow Empress, but the two ultimately share a harmonious, polyamorous relationship with Lan, each vying for his affection while maintaining a close-knit family dynamic 78 328.

The Ice Empress helped obtain the awakening stones used for Lan’s Martial Soul ceremony and has supported his growth from childhood onward 4. She is especially proud of his strength and embraces his ruthless pursuit of power, viewing his dominance and willingness to hunt powerful enemies as qualities worthy of admiration among Far North soul beasts 366. After Lan reshapes the plane core, she initially challenges him to demonstrate his new strength, only to approve excitedly after he shatters space with ease 472.

Snow Empress (Aunt Xue)

The Snow Empress, also known as Aunt Xue, is the co-ruler of the Far North and a central figure in Lan’s life. Like the Ice Empress, she found Lan as an infant and raised him with a blend of dignity and deep affection. She is often portrayed as composed and authoritative, yet her feelings for Lan are profound. She misses him when apart, leaving the Far North to see him after entrusting her clan to A-Tai 57, and she shows a softer, jealous side when the Ice Empress kisses Lan, prompting her to kiss him as well 136. Over time, her attachment grows into unwavering devotion and obedience. She willingly faces any challenge with Lan, including confronting the Clear Sky Sect’s old ancestor 408. Their bond is reinforced through shared moments of intimacy, such as spending the night together in a tent and exchanging kisses 136 137. The Snow Empress also acts as a protector, freezing two guards who blocked her way at the Crown Prince’s Mansion and effortlessly defeating powerful opponents like Daming and Erming 64 136. She is deeply committed to Lan’s plans, supporting his decision to go to Sea God Island and helping him consolidate power 327 394. Her relationship with Lan is characterized by mutual trust, growing intimacy, and a willingness to engage in the playful competition for his attention with the Ice Empress 77 78.

The Snow Empress conducted Lan’s Martial Soul awakening and recognized his potential to become a god after witnessing his early abilities 4 18. She consistently offers calm support for his decisions, including his plan to kill Yu Xiaogang and later train their daughter Ning’er, even while preparing antidote pills out of concern for the child’s safety 413 490.

Qian Renxue

Qian Renxue is Lan’s biological elder sister, the princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, and later Pope of Spirit Hall. Their connection is initially marked by an unexplained bloodline resonance while she is disguised as Xue Qinghe 22 24. She develops a deep longing for Lan that drives her actions. After consuming the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, her soul power surges and she transforms into a Soul Saint, all because of her feelings for him 77. She frequently thinks of Lan, worrying about his safety and wondering if he reciprocates her affection 137. This longing fuels her determination to become stronger, vowing to protect their relationship 137.

Following Bibi Dong’s defeat, Qian Renxue takes control of Spirit Hall, ordering its reconstruction and recalling bishops and deacons—a move that demonstrates her leadership and her desire to consolidate power for Lan’s sake 327. Lan’s Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul and Angel God succession reveal the exceptional shared Angel Clan bloodline between the siblings 229 235. He helps her with her Martial Soul Evolution, and she, in turn, acts to stabilize his position in the human world 394 327. She remains steadfastly faithful in Lan’s strength after he reshapes the plane core, and later accepts his dominant approach to their growing intimacy 472 478.

Bibi Dong

Bibi Dong is Lan’s biological mother, but their relationship is defined by abandonment, hatred, and eventual enmity. In the first chapter, she attempts to abandon and suffocate her infant son in the Far North, driven by her vengeful feelings toward his father, Qian Xunji 1 9. Lan survives thanks to his past-life memories and cultivation technique, and he is raised by the Ice and Snow Empresses. Years later, Bibi Dong learns of Lan’s existence and his closeness to Qian Renxue, prompting her to request his portrait and plot against him 77 253.

Lan openly identifies Bibi Dong as his mother while threatening Yu Xiaogang, using his plan to send Yu Xiaogang’s severed head to her as a deliberate act of revenge 416. During their confrontation, Bibi Dong reveals that she devoured Qian Xunji to obtain her second Martial Soul and greater strength; Lan dismisses her power and defeats her overwhelmingly 275. After her later defeats and severe injuries, she hides on a deserted island while struggling to control unstable Rakshasa power 472. Despite their blood relation, no affection exists between them—only calculation, resentment, and mutual desire for destruction.

Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er

The Shui sisters, Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er, are students at Skywater Academy who develop romantic and servile feelings for Lan. Shui Bing’er is gentle and submissive, while Shui Yue’er is bold and seductive. Lan first saves Shui Bing’er and her teacher Liu Ruyan from Titan Snow Demons in the Far North, leaving Shui Bing’er deeply impressed by his strength 12 22. When he joins Skywater Academy’s team, he becomes its captain at Shui Bing’er’s recommendation, while she becomes vice-captain 22.

Shui Yue’er proposes that she, Lan, and Shui Bing’er explore a Martial Soul Fusion Skill due to their compatible water-based attributes, though Lan treats the suggestion pragmatically rather than romantically 22. The sisters’ own fusion skill, Ice and Snow Fluttering, develops into the powerful Aurora Frost Feather Phoenix, but Lan effortlessly defeats their Frost Feather Aurora Slash while protecting them after their soul power is exhausted 82 84.

Their affections grow as they witness Lan’s power and influence, especially when he returns to Sea God Island and is greeted by the Snow and Ice Empresses 394. On Sea God Island, Lan evolves Shui Bing’er and helps her obtain the Evil Orca King’s hundred-thousand-year soul ring, treating her as one of his women and consolidating her loyalty to him 371 373. Shui Bing’er gains the powerful skills Wrath of the Ice Phoenix and Absolute Zero from the ring 379. In a later scene, the sisters approach Lan dressed in revealing gowns, offering to serve him—Shui Bing’er wipes his hands gently, and Shui Yue’er offers a massage, hinting at more intimate services 408. Their relationship with Lan is one of devotion and dependence, as they seek his favor and protection.

Zhu Zhuqing

Zhu Zhuqing is initially a peripheral observer of Lan’s relationships, feeling lonely and envious. When Lan is with the Snow Empress and Ice Empress in a playful, affectionate scene, Zhu Zhuqing watches from a distance and experiences a sense of isolation and longing 216. Her awareness of Lan’s overwhelming strength begins when she watches him effortlessly defeat Dai Mubai and later Flender 70 103.

Her concern for Lan becomes overt during his battle against Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and she fears for him when he is caught in the Two-Yi Static Domain 205 209. She later assists Lan’s preparations for Slaughter City by arranging for her sister Zhu Zhuyun to provide maps and journals of the area 451. Her relationship with Lan develops from distant attraction into practical loyalty and concern.

Huo Wu

Huo Wu briefly pursues Lan, but he rejects her advances, causing her distress. After an interaction where Lan clearly rebuffs her, she returns to camp heartbroken 216. The Ice Empress and Snow Empress later tease Lan about this encounter, amused by his effect on the young woman. Huo Wu’s relationship with Lan is a one-sided infatuation that he does not encourage, preferring to maintain his bonds with the two empresses and his other close companions.

Even after his rejection, Huo Wu remains concerned for Lan when he faces the Two-Yi Static Domain, declaring that she still wants to fight him fairly in the qualifying tournament 209.

Gu Yuena

Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King and Soul Beast Co-ruler, forms an alliance with Lan through a series of negotiations and exchanges. Lan seeks heavenly treasures for the Ice and Snow Empresses and requests the opportunity to form a contract with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion; although Gu Yuena refuses to coerce the Emperor Auspicious Beast, she agrees to bring Lan to meet her and recognizes that he will not force the contract 142.

Lan later regards Gu Yuena’s assistance in saving the Snow and Ice Empresses as a major debt he must repay 308. Gu Yuena is attracted to his unusual bloodline, physical strength, and ability to withstand Dragon Clan power, eventually asking him to give her a child as part of her hope for the soul beast race’s future 308.

Xiao Bai

Xiao Bai, a former Sea God Temple soul beast, joins Lan’s group after the Sea God Temple’s defeat. Initially fearful and envious of the intimacy between Lan, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress, she chooses to follow him for protection and companionship 360. She becomes a subordinate who carries Lan’s group across the sea and eagerly supports his hunt for the Evil Orca King, seeking revenge against the Evil Orca pod 371 373.

Xiao Lanning (Ning’er)

Xiao Lanning, also called Ning’er, is Lan’s daughter and a young Divine Realm heir with exceptional talent for killing intent. Lan resolves to teach her both rulership and combat, emphasizing that knowledge and self-control are as important as power for governing the Divine Realm 490.

He seals Ning’er’s Divine Power and sends her to the Mist Forest to develop survival, combat, and assassination skills through hardship. She demonstrates her talent by killing a Hundred-Thousand-Year-level Four-Winged Thunder Tiger 490. The Snow Empress worries for Ning’er and prepares antidote pills, while Qian Renxue questions Lan’s harsh methods but ultimately supports his decision 490.
