Background / History
Mu Fuwan is Mu Nian's daughter and a member of the Clear Wood Sect. After Hu Feibai's attack on the sect, she becomes caught in his conflict with the pursuing Clear Wood Sect martial artists. Li Yun rescues her during Hu Feibai's flight, after which she travels with them while restrained by Hu Feibai's Blade Intent-based restriction 99 105.
While Li Yun poses as Blood Blade Sect disciple Leng Yifeng, Mu Fuwan tries to persuade him to abandon the Blood Blade Sect and join the Clear Wood Sect. She teaches him the Clear Water Art, cultivation knowledge, medicinal-pill information, the Light Smoke Movement Technique, and what she knows of the Hundred Thousand Mountains 101 103 109 112.
In Mist Valley, Mu Fuwan reveals her Water Spirit Body in an attempt to secure Li Yun's help against Hu Feibai. Their attempt to merge Internal Force causes her constitution to evolve into the Mystic Water Body and propels her into the Xiantian Realm 116 118 119. She subsequently uses her altered Mystic Water Qi and the valley's miasma to dissolve Hu Feibai's remaining restriction 121.
After Hu Feibai kills Zhao Meng and breaks the Four Saints Formation, Mu Fuwan takes command of the shaken survivors. She uses her spiritual artifact and command of miasma to lead the group out of Mist Valley, but Song Shan abandons her when Hu Feibai corners them 122 123. Li Yun later aids her in defeating Hu Feibai; after Hu Feibai's final Blood Fiend Qi attack nearly drives her to attack Li Yun, Li Yun's shout restores her clarity 127 129.
Following the events in the mountains, Mu Fuwan helps care for the infant Mu Yun and names him. She later plans to purge the Blood Blade Sect and confront Song Shan, whom she considers responsible for abandoning her and potentially betraying the Clear Wood Sect 135 151 157.
Appearance
Mu Fuwan has an oval face, very fair skin, slightly prominent cheekbones, large deep eyes, a straight nose with a subtly upturned tip, and full lips. Her raven-black hair reaches her waist; during her flight with Hu Feibai, it is described as disheveled and dusted with grime 99 117.
- Snow-white or jade-like complexion 99 117
- Long, jet-black hair, sometimes worn loose to her waist 99 117
- A composed bearing likened to a winter plum blossom when confronting Hu Feibai 101
- Her Mystic Water Qi can form a dark, veil-like barrier around her body 118 119
Personality
Mu Fuwan is devoted to the Clear Wood Sect and deeply concerned for its survival. Even while held under Hu Feibai's restriction, she seeks a way to warn Song Shan and the other sect members about the threat he poses 116.
She is knowledgeable and practical in cultivation matters, warning Li Yun about the long-term impurities caused by careless pill consumption and openly sharing techniques and historical knowledge when cooperation benefits them both 103 109 112 113. In danger, she can remain decisive: after Zhao Meng's death, she immediately rallies the remaining fighters rather than allowing panic to decide the battle 122.
Her trust in Song Shan collapses after he abandons her in Mist Valley. By the time she returns to Red Maple Prefecture, she is determined not only to eliminate the Blood Blade Sect but also to kill Song Shan for what she believes was his hypocrisy and betrayal 123 157.

Mist Valley Breakthrough
Unable to remove Hu Feibai's restriction alone, Mu Fuwan risks revealing her Water Spirit Body to obtain Li Yun's assistance. The resulting breakthrough transforms her constitution, grants her Xiantian cultivation, and creates the Mystic Water Qi needed to erase Hu Feibai's restriction 116 118 121.

After leaving the mountains, Mu Fuwan takes temporary responsibility for Mu Yun while preparing to resolve the Blood Blade Sect threat. Having learned of Song Shan's abandonment and suspecting deeper betrayal, she resolves to purge both the Blood Blade Sect and Song Shan 151 157.
