Background / History

Er Ni grew up in Emperor Soul Village alongside Lin Qing and her older brother, Er Gouzi. When Lin Qing told her that he intended to leave the village and become a soul master, she tried to conceal her sadness but ultimately cried over their coming separation. Er Gouzi initially believed Lin Qing had mistreated her and angrily confronted him. 4

When Lin Qing was endangered after consuming Thousand-Year Whale Rubber in the creek behind the village, Er Ni rescued him from drowning and cared for him through the night. Lin Qing later gave her the final piece of Thousand-Year Whale Rubber in gratitude, which she consumed under his guidance. 5

In a parallel timeline, Emperor Soul Village was raided by bandits, and Er Ni took her own life rather than submit to their leader. Learning of this fate, Lin Qing resolved to bring her away from the village and eliminate the bandit threat. 7 9 After returning to the village two years later, Lin Qing reunited with Er Ni; her feelings for him had not changed. 22

Er Ni agreed to accompany Lin Qing to Suotuo City and assist with managing his shop despite her lack of formal education. She also secretly kept a piece of Gold of Life that Er Gouzi had found, then gave it to Lin Qing. 23

Lin Qing later gave her the essence of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red Immortal Herb. Her unquestioning acceptance caused her Martial Soul to mutate and awakened her exceptional potential as a soul master. 33 34

Appearance

After Lin Qing's two-year absence, Er Ni had grown into a graceful young woman. 22 The evolution of her Martial Soul further made her appearance more vibrant and beautiful. 33 She later manifested black wings after fusing with a rare External Soul Bone. 139

• Graceful bearing following her childhood growth. 22
• More vibrant appearance after her Martial Soul evolved into Lovesick Heartbreak Red. 33
• Black wings produced by the External Soul Bone known as Black Cloud Wings. 124 139

Personality

Er Ni is deeply loyal to Lin Qing and consistently trusts his judgment, from accepting the immortal-herb essence without hesitation to following him into the Star Dou Great Forest for soul hunting. 23 33 37 Her devotion is tied directly to her Martial Soul, whose effects strengthen both herself and the person she loves. 34 35

Though initially dependent and lacking confidence in her own usefulness, she becomes determined to cultivate and support Lin Qing after learning the scale of her awakened abilities. 34 36 She remains humble even when her soul rings and cultivation astonish her teammates. 85

Er Ni can also be shy and easily embarrassed in romantic situations, including after overhearing Dugu Yan's intimate conversation with Lin Qing. 147 She later responds to Xiao Wu's confession about her relationship with Lin Qing with understanding and acceptance. 302

Her gentleness does not prevent her from enduring harsh cultivation. During Azure Throne Academy's mental-pressure training, she matched Ning Rongrong's progress and strengthened her mental resilience. 100 She also openly supports the other girls' feelings for Lin Qing, prioritizing their honesty and Lin Qing's own wishes over jealousy. 302
