Background

Ye Lingling first appears alone in the Soul Hunting Forest, fleeing a 700-year-old Jade Begonia-like plant soul beast. Ji Feng intervenes, protects her during the battle, and learns that she possesses the healing-type Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul. After Ji Feng brings the beast to the brink of defeat, he instructs her to deliver the final attack and absorb its spirit ring. 4 5

She initially responds to Ji Feng with silence and cold detachment. After displaying a Heaven Dou Royal Academy token, she leaves him following their first joint hunt, though she later brings the Imperial Fighting Team to Suotuo City to find the talented soul master she had encountered. 5 6

Following Ji Feng's removal from the Imperial Fighting Team, Ye Lingling attempts to persuade him to return. Unable to convey her feelings clearly, she follows him out of Suotuo City but loses his trail after he evades her. 9

Ma Hongjun later suggests that Ji Feng may be connected to the death of one of Ye Lingling's relatives. His claim, combined with Ji Feng's unusual teleportation ability, causes her to suspect Ji Feng of ties to the forces responsible. She approaches Ji Feng while he sleeps with a poisoned dagger, but ultimately cannot bring herself to kill him. 24 25

Although she initially parts from Ji Feng and says she will not use the skill book he gave her, she uses Hexagram of Peace: Longevity when Tang San's Dragon Whisker Needles leave Ji Feng near death. The technique fully restores Ji Feng's life force and neutralizes the poison. Afterward, Ye Lingling chooses to leave Qin Ming and accompany Ji Feng on his journeys. 25 27

Appearance

Ye Lingling is a young girl with short purple hair, purple eyes, and a cold, elegant appearance. She is first depicted in a purple dress with stockings; later passages also describe her in an ice-blue long skirt. 4 5 19 48

• Short purple hair and calm purple eyes. 4 19
• Commonly wears purple clothing, including a purple dress or purple robes. 4 22
• Has an aloof expression that rarely reveals her emotions. 4 5
• Her reserved living space contains few decorations and carries a faint cold fragrance. 48

Personality

Ye Lingling is quiet, distant, and uncomfortable with ordinary social interaction. She seldom speaks, prefers solitude, and is described as having no friends while growing up. Her family loss and difficult childhood contributed to her reluctance to form attachments. 23 24 34

Despite her outward coldness, she is observant and deeply compassionate toward those she accepts. She watches Ji Feng's fights closely, worries over his injuries, and repeatedly heals him in dangerous situations. Her concern is usually expressed through actions rather than words. 21 28 34 37

Her loyalty to Ji Feng becomes especially pronounced after saving him from Tang San. She leaves the Imperial Fighting Team to travel with him, declares that she will follow him wherever he goes, and obeys his request to reproduce Ning Fengzhi's handwriting without hesitation. 27 32 48
