Background & History
Ye Yun initially entered Herta Space Station covertly as a merchant, seeking customers for the System’s vast catalog of goods. His first sale was to Stelle: she exchanged five Stellar Jades for Credits and purchased a Coin of Destiny. Completing this transaction rewarded Ye Yun with a Shop Card and High-tier Pathfinder-level Imaginary Energy. He then chose the Astral Express as the ideal location for a permanent shop because of its access to many worlds and potential Stellar Jade sources 1.
The Express Crew approved his request to rent a carriage after judging him sincere and non-hostile. Using the Shop Card, Ye Yun converted the carriage into an upscale restaurant-shop with an open kitchen, bar, booths, dining table, and a refrigerator containing a pocket dimension 7. His business later expanded through Shop Teleportation Portals, allowing customers in locations such as Belobog and Mondstadt to access the Train directly 28 30.
During the Belobog crisis, Ye Yun supplied Natasha and the Underworld with food, mining equipment, and large quantities of material goods in exchange for Stellar Jade. A major transaction with Natasha coincided with his breakthrough to Emissary-level strength 13 19 20. He also became a guardian-like figure to Hook and Clara, providing meals, phones, travel opportunities, and a dedicated laboratory for Clara’s mechanical studies 15 83.
Ye Yun’s shop became a crossroads for visitors from numerous worlds, offering equipment, cultivation methods, medicine, spirits, technology, transportation, and resurrection-related items. His interventions repeatedly altered the development of worlds including Belobog, Teyvat, and Omphalos 619.
After purchasing the Myriad Ages Sword Physique, Sword Control Technique, and the basic chapter of the Divine Sword Art, Ye Yun began formal cultivation alongside his existing Imaginary Energy powers 86. He later acquired Puni as his Spirit and became its Trainer by promising access to powerful opponents across worlds 377.
Ye Yun personally cleared the Delta Dungeon, gaining substantial materials, a Shop Expansion Card, a Law Fragment, and permanent access to the dungeon. The resulting Law Fragment increased his strength more than threefold 479. He eventually gained complete Authority over the Delta plane, becoming its World Lord 618.
Personality
Ye Yun is business-minded and direct about his desire to make profit, but he generally conducts transactions fairly and tailors recommendations to a customer’s needs. He openly identifies himself as a merchant while maintaining that both sides should benefit from a deal 19 32.
Despite his commercial focus, he is notably generous toward children and vulnerable people. He regularly cooks for large groups, funds the education and hobbies of the little ones, provides medical treatment without hesitation, and safeguards valuable belongings for others 83 152 492. His affection for raising children is well known among his companions 152.
He is also confident in confrontations, often using overwhelming force to restrain threats or stop reckless behavior. However, he respects the autonomy of his Spirits; when Herta offered Credits to gain access to Puni for research, Ye Yun refused to pressure Puni into agreeing 25 378.
