Background / History
Yue Mei is a Dou Wang-level chief of the Charm Snake Tribe. She has longstanding hostility toward humans, rooted in the wars between the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Tribe; she claims that Lei Na, an electric-attribute human expert, was poisoned after fighting her in an earlier conflict. 196
When Xiao Tianci enters a desert oasis to replenish his water supply, Yue Mei suspects him of being a Jia Ma Empire spy. She summons venomous snakes around him, interrogates him, and orders her guards to kill him after he refuses to be intimidated. 192 193 Xiao Tianci defeats her guards and overpowers Yue Mei herself, leaving her aware that his strength and background are beyond her ability to judge. 193 194
The arrival of Gu He's expedition changes her priorities. Yue Mei recognizes the group as a major threat to the Snake-People Tribe, confronts them over their intrusion, and attempts to escape so she can warn Queen Medusa. Outnumbered by Yan Shi and Feng Li, she uses an energy-snake escape technique to flee. 195 196 197 198
After reaching the imperial city, Yue Mei issues three martial-law orders and informs Mo Basi of both Xiao Tianci's presence and Gu He's powerful group. She later helps defend the city against Gu He's party, supports Queen Medusa, and seeks Xiao Tianci's favor after he presents the Limitless Dou Ling Pill. 206 217 220
Appearance
Yue Mei is an alluring snake-woman with a voluptuous figure, black hair, and a prominent snake tail. Her expression can shift quickly from a seductive smile to cold hostility when her tribe is threatened. 192 195

- Her red lips and bewitching appearance are repeatedly noted alongside her dangerous demeanor. 192 196
Personality
Yue Mei is fiercely protective of Snake-People Tribe territory and deeply distrustful of humans. She immediately treats Xiao Tianci as a possible spy and warns Gu He's group that the eight tribal chiefs could retaliate if they do not leave. 192 196
She is proud, defiant, and willing to confront stronger enemies, but she is not reckless when her tribe's security is at stake. Once Yan Shi and Feng Li overwhelm her, she prioritizes escaping to warn Queen Medusa rather than continuing a losing battle. 197 198
Yue Mei is also pragmatic and ambitious. Though initially hostile toward Xiao Tianci, she becomes reservedly eager to please him once she learns of the Limitless Dou Ling Pill and the benefits his alchemy could bring to her tribe. 214 217
