Background

Qi Fan arrived in the Dou Qi Continent more than twenty years before the story. He initially had poor cultivation talent and no apparent cheat. After an encounter with a mysterious woman, a baby girl was delivered to him a year later with a note identifying her as his daughter. Qi Fan raised the child, Qi Yan'er, in Qing Shan Town until she was seven. 1

His Daughter Development System links his growth to Qi Yan'er's cultivation. Her breakthroughs directly raise his realm, while the system's check-ins provide Points that he can exchange for techniques, resources, and emergency items for her. 28 78 118

Appearance

Qi Fan appears to be a refined, exceptionally handsome young man in his twenties, despite having lived in the world for over twenty years. His dark teal eyes resemble Qi Yan'er's, and he is often seen in a black robe. 1 35 205

• Dark teal eyes shared with Qi Yan'er. 1 205
• Commonly wears black robes. 35
• Can manifest pink Dou Qi wings for flight. 302

Personality

Qi Fan is intensely devoted to Qi Yan'er. He frames many decisions around being a good father and role model, from rescuing injured strangers to spending his Points whenever Yan'er needs an item. Her letters and dangerous plans consistently leave him anxious, especially when she targets powerful figures such as Han Feng. 31 82 202

He is also deeply loyal to his wife. Although Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, Ya Fei, Xue Mei, Lin Fei, and others openly pursue him, Qi Fan repeatedly insists that he cannot casually accept another woman while he is a husband and father. 32 103 209 225

Despite the fear he inspires, Qi Fan often sees himself as ordinary. He is regularly baffled when others interpret his casual remarks, concealed aura, or knowledge as proof that he is an unfathomable senior. 81 85 89 118
