Background / History

Leng Yaozhu is a high-ranking Spirit Pagoda authority and the teacher of Gu Yue. Their teacher–student arrangement initially rests more on mutual benefit than personal closeness: Gu Yue requires a legal human identity, while Leng Yaozhu gains an exceptionally talented disciple who strengthens her standing within the organization 31.

Before meeting Lin An, Leng Yaozhu spent decades unable to move on from her unrequited love for Yun Ming. Though she once rejected numerous admirers, she remained devoted to Yun Ming even after he chose Ya Li, preserving a Phoenix Plume that she had intended to give him 71.

During Shadow Brake's citywide mental scan, Leng Yaozhu recognizes that the Spirit Pagoda has been precisely targeted. She fears that the slightest irregularity could invite a god-slaying fixed soul ammunition strike from Universal Heavy Industry 30.

She later invites Lin An to the Spirit Pagoda over its rare space-time-type soul beast resources. Their professional contact develops after Lin An applies to become her secretary, ostensibly to study and work with Spirit Pagoda technology 31 67 68.

Following the Holy Spirit Cult's Eastsea City attack, Leng Yaozhu uncovers reports connecting thirty-seven mid- and high-ranking Spirit Pagoda personnel and twelve pagoda-endorsed shell companies to the cult. This revelation convinces her that the organization’s upper ranks are deeply compromised 195.

Appearance

Leng Yaozhu is consistently portrayed as a dignified, strikingly beautiful woman with an elegant and aloof bearing. Her appearance becomes noticeably less composed when her emotions concerning Lin An overwhelm her 46 49 101.

• Reddish-brown hair, commonly arranged in an elegant bun or left cascading over her shoulders 30 48 66.
• Clear, shallow phoenix-like eyes; her gaze can become cold and oppressive when angered 30 70.
• Often wears a moon-white qipao decorated with red feather patterns 30 31.
• Also appears in a black uniform, a crimson feather-patterned dress, a long red gown with black stockings, and a loose silk robe 46 48 66 155.
• During her later appearance outside the Cloudsky International Hotel, she wears a tailored black coat over a turtleneck with silver earrings 225.
• Maintains a composed, refined posture even in formal settings 48 66.

Personality

Leng Yaozhu is proud, controlled, and accustomed to the authority expected of the Spirit Pagoda's Heavenly Phoenix Douluo. She can be measured and professional while discussing research, soul spirits, and organizational matters, but reacts sharply when Yun Ming or her long-standing emotional wounds are invoked 68 70.

Her feelings for Lin An expose a far less stable side. She repeatedly misreads his professional interest as romantic pursuit, struggles with insecurity over their age gap, and becomes distressed when he stops visiting or replying to her messages 67 71 101.

Despite her possessiveness and occasional manipulation, she remains protective of Gu Yue and willing to invest major effort into Gu Yue's future. She supports the forging of Gu Yue's Battle Armor and uses her resources to settle Gu Yue's fines, even while competing with her disciple for Lin An's attention 105 112.

Her attachment to Lin An ultimately hardens into open defiance. Upon discovering the Spirit Pagoda's institutional corruption, she warns Qian Gu Dongfeng not to touch Lin An and resolves that she would rather become an enemy of the world than surrender him 195.

Although her jealousy can drive her to reckless plans, Leng Yaozhu retains enough awareness of her public position to recognize when those impulses are unreasonable. When she and Gu Yue consider breaking into Lin An's hotel room to confront him, she refuses to create a public scandal over a relationship for which neither woman has formal status 224.

Abilities & Skills

Rank 99 Limit Douluo

Leng Yaozhu possesses the cultivation of a Rank 99 Limit Douluo, placing her among the continent's highest-level Soul Masters 99.

• Her spiritual power is sufficient to maintain deliberate awareness of Xie Xie while he is affected by a perception-erasing space-time ability 50.
• She can receive and process Phoenix Plume surveillance data directly through her spiritual sea 111.
• When Gu Yue releases Silver Dragon King source power to imprint her Battle Armor, Leng Yaozhu instantly removes Lin An from the danger zone and maintains a protective hold on him 163.
• Ha Luosa considers her full-strength outbreak during the Eastsea City battle a serious enough threat to affect the Holy Spirit Cult's escape strategy 195.

Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart

Her golden-quality fixed talent, Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart, is tied to her prolonged unrequited love and emotional isolation 66.

• Its complete designation is Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart · Heavenly Phoenix Unrequited Love · Lonely Cry 66.
• Its condition is linked to emotional openness and contentment rather than physical proximity alone, progressing when she feels safe and at ease with Lin An 128.
• Lin An identifies it as one of the rare golden talents he has encountered 66.

Heavenly Forging

• She agrees to perform ninth-level Heaven Forging for the materials needed to build Gu Yue's Battle Armor around a god-level scale core 105.

• She evaluates Lin An's proposed double-helix Soul Power circuits, which could improve a formation's energy-transmission efficiency by at least fifteen percent 68.

Strategic Authority

As a Spirit Pagoda executive, Leng Yaozhu can direct confidential organizational actions 52.

Equipment / Items

• Phoenix Plume — An amber feather marked with crimson-gold flame patterns. Leng Yaozhu gives it to Lin An for protection; it can burn through the defenses of anyone below a Limit Douluo 68.
• Phoenix Plume surveillance device — The plume later contains a tracker and camera through which Leng Yaozhu monitors Lin An 106 115.
• Gu Yue's Battle Armor blueprints — Retained and revised by Leng Yaozhu as part of her forging work 105 106.
• Gu Yue's scale — A silvery-white, rainbow-lit scale containing god-level power, entrusted to Leng Yaozhu as the intended core of Gu Yue's Battle Armor 105.
• Love Behavior Theory and Practical Guide — A romance manual written by Leng Yaozhu and given to Gu Yue when her disciple seeks advice on pursuing Lin An 216.

Relationships

• Gu Yue — Her disciple. Their relationship begins as a practical exchange of identity and institutional support, but Leng Yaozhu also advises, funds, and protects her. Their bond deteriorates into an intense rivalry when both become possessive of Lin An 31 46 111 112. Despite their hostility, they share concern for Lin An during the typhoon and later covertly observe his meeting with Ouyang Zixin together 166 224. Leng Yaozhu also continues acting as Gu Yue's teacher by supplying her with romance advice and study materials 171 216.
• Lin An — Her secretary and technical collaborator. Leng Yaozhu becomes emotionally attached to him after initially misunderstanding his application as a confession; she later helps forge Gu Yue's Battle Armor, publicly implies a romantic relationship with him, and frequently seeks physical comfort in his arms 67 68 105 107 128 156. Though she considers herself emotionally entitled to intervene in his affairs, she recognizes that she has no formal relationship status with him 224. After the hotel incident, she personally drives him and Gu Yue to the Spirit Pagoda 226.
• Yun Ming — Her former, decades-long unrequited love. His name remains a major emotional trigger, and his later attempts to intervene in her connection with Lin An are met with open hostility 70 71 111.
• Qian Gu Dongfeng — A longtime admirer who claims to have pursued Leng Yaozhu for forty years. He reacts angrily to her public post involving Lin An 110. Following the Eastsea City attack, Leng Yaozhu accuses him of involvement in the Spirit Pagoda's Holy Spirit Cult corruption and warns him never to target Lin An 195.
• Shen Qingyi — Lin An's mother. She threatens legal action and engages in public social media spats with Leng Yaozhu over her public implication of a relationship with Lin An 107 110.
• Shadow Brake — A rival observer of Leng Yaozhu's relationship with Lin An. Shadow Brake classifies her as an A-Class harassment target, blocks her messages to Lin An, and openly mocks her age and menopause 101 165. Shadow Brake's possessiveness later makes Leng Yaozhu fear that the artificial soul spirit's emotions toward Lin An may be spiraling beyond control 166 195.
• Leng Yulai — Her younger sister and a high-ranking Holy Spirit Cult member. Leng Yulai's resentment toward Leng Yaozhu is tied to Yun Ming and is intensified by her sister's new attachment to Lin An 99 196.
• Di Tian — A Soul Beast leader allied with Gu Yue. Leng Yaozhu openly clashes with him after he insults her as an old woman, while she dismisses him as a fat dragon 194.
• Ouyang Zixin — A potential romantic rival for Lin An. Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue spy on Ouyang's intimate discussion with Lin An from outside the Cloudsky International Hotel but refrain from intervening 224.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shadow Brake's Scan and the Spirit Pagoda Invitation

Leng Yaozhu is introduced reacting to Shadow Brake's mental scan of East Sea City, recognizing the threat it poses to the Spirit Pagoda. She subsequently contacts Lin An regarding a rare space-time-type soul beast held by the organization 30 31.

Gu Yue's Mentor

She counsels Gu Yue on the dangers of her possessive pursuit of Lin An, warning that Lin An attracts attention from both women and men because of his appearance, fortune, and the Universal Group's influence 46.

When Gu Yue continues clinging to Lin An during the Spirit Pagoda visit, Leng Yaozhu is visibly frustrated by her disciple's lack of restraint 48 49.

Secretary Arrangement

After Lin An applies for an internship, Leng Yaozhu mistakenly assumes he is proposing marriage. She ultimately hires him as her secretary after he demonstrates genuine technical insight into artificial soul spirit and formation technology 67 68.

Lin An's frequent visits gradually weaken her professional distance, but his mention of Yun Ming causes her to turn cold and drive him away 70.

Communication Breakdown

When Lin An disappears for weeks, Leng Yaozhu becomes increasingly distressed and interprets his silence as abandonment. Unknown to her, Shadow Brake has intercepted and blacklisted her messages to him 101.

When Lin An returns, the misunderstanding culminates in an emotional confrontation. Leng Yaozhu accepts his explanation that he never received her messages and resumes working with him 102 103.

Battle Armor Collaboration and Public Controversy

Leng Yaozhu agrees to Heaven Forge the materials for Gu Yue's Battle Armor after Lin An presents Gu Yue's god-level scale. She is unsettled by Gu Yue's likely nonhuman identity but ultimately accepts Lin An's desire to help both humans and Soul Beasts coexist 105.

She later posts a deliberately misleading image implying intimacy with Lin An, triggering backlash from the public, Qian Gu Dongfeng, and Shen Qingyi 107 110.

Leng Yaozhu later conducts the bulk of the Battle Armor forging with Lin An's technical assistance. When Gu Yue eventually uses Silver Dragon King source power to complete the Battle Armor's imprint, Leng Yaozhu prioritizes moving Lin An away from the resulting danger 128 163.

Conflict with Gu Yue

Gu Yue confronts Leng Yaozhu over Lin An, while Leng Yaozhu insists that her work on the Battle Armor and support for Gu Yue were acts of care. She also uses payments and gifts to influence Gu Yue's access to Lin An 112 113.

Their rivalry becomes physical when Gu Yue discovers Leng Yaozhu's scent on Lin An after he has spent extended time with her during the forging work 128 129. Leng Yaozhu frequently visits Lin An's dorm in outfits like long red gowns and black stockings to claim his attention, directly clashing with Gu Yue and exchanging sharp insults with Shadow Brake 155 165.

During the typhoon, their usual bickering gives way to shared fear when neither can reach Lin An. Leng Yaozhu initially restrains Gu Yue from travelling through the flooded city, but follows her toward the dormitories after accepting that Lin An may truly be in danger 166.

Holy Spirit Cult Attack and Spirit Pagoda Corruption

In the aftermath of the Eastsea City attack, Leng Yaozhu examines internal reports revealing extensive Holy Spirit Cult connections within the Spirit Pagoda. She concludes that the organization has been corrupted at high levels and suspects Qian Gu Dongfeng of involvement 195.

When Qian urges a quiet investigation, she directly rejects his approach, warns him not to touch Lin An, and commits herself to protecting Lin An regardless of the consequences 195.

Hotel Surveillance

When Lin An meets Ouyang Zixin at the Cloudsky International Hotel, Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue observe the scene from the air and initially consider entering through a window. Leng Yaozhu stops the plan after pointing out that neither of them possesses a formal relationship with Lin An that would justify such a confrontation 224.

She later waits outside with Gu Yue and personally takes Lin An away by car after he leaves the hotel, redirecting the trip toward the Spirit Pagoda rather than Eastsea Academy 225 226.

Trivia

• Leng Yaozhu initially gives Lin An the Phoenix Plume as a protective item, though it later also functions as a tracker and camera 68 106.
• She responds to the Spirit Pagoda's space-time incident not only as a security concern, but as an investment opportunity involving Universal Heavy Industry 52.
• Lin An's talent-progress system identifies her emotional comfort and lowered guard—not physical proximity—as the key to advancing the Crimson Flame Heavenly Heart condition 128.
• She authored a romance guide for Gu Yue despite being Gu Yue's principal rival for Lin An's attention 216.
• Her argument with Di Tian includes his repeated accusation that she “shut off the power and water,” an insult associated with Shadow Brake's earlier mockery of her age 165 194.
