Background / History
Yao Rao and Wang Ping had known each other since they were Soul Elders. They traveled north from the Star Luo Empire, recruiting companions who eventually became resources for their cultivation. Yao Rao absorbed their soul power and life force, while Wang Ping took their possessions to support his own advancement 24.
Her absorption method left no obvious outward signs, allowing the pair to conceal their exploitation behind ordinary team activities. Their partnership was nevertheless coercive: Wang Ping threatened to kill her and claim a Martial Soul Hall bounty if her strength improved too slowly 24.
Appearance
- Middle-aged and alluring: Introduced as a charming middle-aged woman with a curvaceous figure 23 24.
- Deliberate presentation: Uses a loose collar, revealing gestures, and physical closeness to attract prospective victims 23 24.
- Contrasting demeanor: After feeding on her companions, her coquettish expression gives way to an evil, chilling aura while she cultivates 24.
Personality
Yao Rao treats seduction as both a hunting method and a test of her own appeal. Ye Tian’s indifference annoys her and strengthens her determination to win him over; seeing his Overlord Spear also increases her interest in him as a potential cultivation resource 23 24.
She regards her companions as expendable, disparaging the three Soul Elders even after their stolen vitality raises her level. During the tiger encounter, however, she abandons the original objective of obtaining tiger bones once the danger becomes clear, prioritizing escape 24 25.
When defeated, she first pleads for mercy and offers submission. After this fails, she attempts to kill Ye Tian through self-destruction 26.
Abilities & Skills
Soul Power and Life-Force Absorption
Yao Rao cultivates by draining others during intimate encounters, using attraction to bring victims within reach 24.
- Feeds on all three Soul Elder teammates during a single night and advances from level 43 to level 44 24.
- Can restrict how much she takes, preserving victims for later exploitation 24.
- Leaves victims pale and exhausted without obvious signs of her true method 24.
- Targets Ye Tian because she expects his life force to provide a greater cultivation benefit 24.
Spider-Silk Control
Her control abilities use transparent silk threads to reposition and protect teammates 25.
- Pulls the injured Wang Ping out of the Dark Giant Tigers’ cave 25.
- Wraps silk around teammates to accelerate their retreat and draws them together when she comes under attack 25.
- Uses her fourth soul skill to weave spider-silk armor over the defense-type Soul Elders; fresh strands replace those destroyed by the tiger’s attacks 25.
- Cannot force her silk onto Ye Tian, who blocks it with his spear and elects to move independently 25.
Charm
- Distracts the male Dark Giant Tiger, which perceives alluring female tigers and temporarily stops responding to its mate 25.
- Creates an opening for the squad to retreat, but the effect ends when the mother tiger strikes the male 25.
Attempted Self-Destruction
- Makes her internal energy violent and rushes Ye Tian in an attempted mutual kill 26.
- The attempt never completes: Ye Tian pierces her heart before the energy can detonate 26.
Relationships
- Wang Ping / Leader Wang — Longtime accomplice. They divide the benefits of exploiting recruited companions, though he threatens to turn her corpse in for a bounty if she becomes insufficiently useful 24.
- Ye Tian — Temporary teammate and intended victim. He rejects her advances, recognizes her feeding method, and ultimately kills her after the team’s betrayal 23 24 26.
- Three Soul Elder teammates — Cultivation fodder kept alive for the forest mission. She drains them overnight, then uses her silk abilities to protect and reposition them during the tiger encounter 24 25.
