Background / History
Ao Xin is the daughter of the Ancestor Dragon and was originally intended to inherit the position of Lord of the Dragon Clan. During her first encounter with Qin Xi and Yu Xue, she was frightened and suspicious of them, but her attitude softened after Qin Xi offered her a Merit-infused sweet potato. 8 9 11
Qin Xi recalls first meeting Ao Xin when she knew little of the world, and he came to treat her like a younger sibling. She later became leader of the Dragon Clan and was regarded warmly by its members. 11 465 686
After eating Qin Xi's Merit-infused ingredients, Ao Xin experienced a series of extraordinary early breakthroughs, rising from Early Human Immortal to Early Earth Immortal and then Early Heaven Immortal in a short period. Her bloodline later evolved beyond that of the Ancestor Dragon, causing her father to recognize her potential to surpass him. 9 22 35 56
During an earlier journey, she accompanied Qin Xi into a Heavenly Dao-blessed house. The golden radiance from the Ancestor Dragon Scroll temporarily blinded her and left her fearful and awestruck. 14
After reading Primordial World: Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ao Xin obtained the fortune of the Cao Wei Dragon Soul. She subsequently used the Three Kingdoms Investiture of the Gods bestowed by Qin Xi to summon Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu, who aided the Ancestor Dragon in founding Dragon Gate. 42 57 62
When the Ancestor Dragon entered seclusion to pursue Sainthood, Ao Xin became Dragon Gate's Young Sect Master and focused on cultivating enough strength to be worthy of the role. She later represented Dragon Gate in its alliance with the Primordial Heavenly Court, where she offered administrative support from Guo Jia and Xun Yu to Tai Yi and Di Qun's Monster Clan. 62 117
By the time Tai Yi and Di Qun traveled to Purple Heaven Palace, Ao Xin had reached the early stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Although initially reluctant, she accepted Qin Xi's assignment to protect them, demonstrating growing maturity and responsibility. 86
The Dragon Clan was attacked by an outside force, and Ao Xin fought to defend her people before being overwhelmed and captured by the Masked Man. He had abducted her, along with Di Qun, because they were important to Qin Xi. 254 269 304
Captivity severely traumatized Ao Xin. Once cheerful, she became terrified of the Masked Man, repeatedly begged for Qin Xi to rescue her, and depended on Di Qun for comfort. 304 305 After the great war, reminders of the Masked Man caused violent episodes; she even mistook Qin Xi for him and attacked him. 464
Qin Xi ultimately used the Law of Fantasy to erase her memories from the period after the great battle, including the Dragon Clan's destruction and her abduction. She awakened in the Heavenly Dao Dojo without knowing why she was there, accepted Qin Xi's explanation, and regained a curious, cheerful disposition. 469 470
She later resumed her duties as Dragon Clan leader while remaining a trusted member of Qin Xi's circle. She handled Heavenly Dao Dojo affairs, returned urgently when Qin Xi summoned her, assisted expeditions, and continued to protect the Dragon Clan's interests. 615 686 817
During Qin Xi's recovery from his battle with the Masked Man, Ao Xin remained intensely concerned for him. She considered returning to the Dragon Clan to seek healing treasures and later remained close by while he cultivated with the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and Three Lights Divine Water. 1093 1097 1130 1167

Personality
Ao Xin is straightforward, hot-tempered, and prone to acting immediately on her feelings. When Qin Xi needed help, she offered to rush back to the Dragon Clan at once to search for anything useful, only stopping after he reassured her. 1097
She is deeply loyal to Qin Xi. She rushed back overnight from a distant location to rejoin him, and she repeatedly volunteers to accompany him on dangerous tasks. 695 817
Her bluntness can become carelessness. During an investigation in North Goose City, she failed to notice the significance of guards' official boots and unusual clothing until Di Qun explained it to her. 1051 Despite this, she is brave under pressure, possesses quick defensive reflexes, and shows persistence even when badly injured. 944 994
Ao Xin is enthusiastic about opportunities to increase her cultivation, sometimes to the point of impatience. She eagerly wanted to consume a spiritually active creature discovered by Daoist Yangmei and was visibly astonished by the potential of Qin Xi's Three Lights Divine Water. 882 1167
She is highly protective of those she considers family. Her concern for Di Qun can cloud her judgment, while her concern for Qin Xi makes her anxious and unwilling to leave his side during his recovery. 958 970 1130 1148
