Background / History

Zi Yan grew up without familial affection and was brought into Jia Nan Academy by Su Qian, who effectively raised her. Her isolated upbringing leaves her unusually sensitive to the possibility of being abandoned. 96 242

Known in the Inner Academy as the Strong Ranking’s foremost student and the Brute Force King, Zi Yan secretly uses spatial manipulation to enter the medicinal warehouse and steal herbs for food. Xiao Wujiu catches her while she is taking a fifth-tier Bitter Earth Lotus, leading to their first playful confrontation. 93 94

Rather than punish her, Xiao Wujiu gives Zi Yan medicinal pills and asks her not to steal herbs again. She begins searching the back mountains for a Bitter Earth Lotus as compensation, showing consideration for him that surprises Su Qian. 94 96

Appearance

Zi Yan is initially presented as an adorable little girl despite her overwhelming physical strength. After digesting the Human-Shaping Grass, she can freely control her form and later appears as a young woman with violet eyes. 93 178 325

• A purple silhouette accompanies her return through the Crossing Gate. 241

Personality

Zi Yan is mischievous, impulsive, and intensely food-motivated, especially where medicinal herbs and pills are concerned. She reacts fiercely when someone takes her herbs or pills, yet her threats and anger are often playful rather than malicious. 93 94 96

She is competitive and seeks Xiao Wujiu’s approval, becoming frustrated whenever his cultivation catches up to or surpasses hers. As Dragon Emperor, she grows more assertive: she defeats the South Dragon King, accepts responsibility for her clan, and insists on making her own choices. 267 269

Beneath her bold behavior, Zi Yan fears that she is a burden or that Xiao Wujiu will leave her behind. Reassurance of her importance to him quickly restores her confidence and liveliness. 242 243
