Background / History

Xu Jiujiu is the youngest sister of Emperor Xu Jiawei. Her brother arranged her betrothal to Liu Lin when he recruited the newly awakened prodigy into the Star Luo Imperial Family and granted him the title of Viscount of Loyalty and Valor. The arrangement was made without consulting her, which initially angered her, though she accepted that a princess had obligations to the royal family. 4 7 9

After learning that Liu Lin had been placed in the courtyard beside hers, Xu Jiujiu went to investigate. Rather than use the gate, she climbed over the dividing wall to meet him. Liu Lin showed her his twin dragon martial souls and their Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice attributes, allowing her to understand why Xu Jiawei had considered a title alone insufficient to secure his loyalty. 7

She joined Liu Lin's first soul-ring expedition to the Star Dou Forest under Elder Lin's protection. During the journey, she pressed Liu Lin to address her as “Jiujiu,” shared a quiet stargazing moment with him, and watched anxiously as he absorbed the Earth Fire Lizard Dragon's soul ring. 9 11

When the expedition was endangered by the battle between Elder Lin and Chi Wang, Xu Jiujiu lost consciousness. Later, after Liu Lin fainted following his encounter with the Three-Eyed Golden Ni, she stayed by his side, attempted to procure medicine for him, and let him rest with his head on her lap while he remained in deep cultivation. 13 16

Three years later, she continued to cultivate alongside Liu Lin and accompanied him to noble functions, including the White Tiger Duke Mansion banquet. At the banquet, she maintained her composure before the guests and discreetly helped Liu Lin save face by feeding him dessert. 17 18

Xu Jiujiu later became captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy reserve team and traveled to Tiantou City for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. Star Luo Royal Academy ultimately placed fourth. While organizing the reserve team and observing other academies, she continued to meet Liu Lin for breakfast and became increasingly suspicious of his declining health and unexplained wrist marks. 21 24

After Liu Lin left Star Luo City for twenty-three days, she worried over his absence. Upon his return, he gave her the Heavenly Star Spirit-Gathering Flower and Heavenly Star Vine; their effects later raised her cultivation from level 32 to the peak of level 38 and improved her martial soul. 28 29 37

When Liu Lin vanished during Tang San's attack on the imperial palace, Xu Jiujiu found his destroyed room and broke down in tears. Xu Jiawei subsequently ordered the palace sealed. 38

Appearance

Xu Jiujiu is introduced as a young girl with a lively, princess-like bearing. 6

• Long golden hair reaching her waist. 6
• Azure or deep-blue eyes. 6 11
• Wore a light-purple dress at her first appearance. 6
• Later appeared in a golden ceremonial gown. 16

Personality

Xu Jiujiu is spirited, curious, and independent. Her first response to discovering her engagement was to seek out Liu Lin herself, climbing into his courtyard rather than waiting for a formal introduction. She is mischievous enough to tease him, yet she is also easily flustered when he returns the teasing. 7 8

Having grown up in the imperial palace, she understands political duty and can control her emotions even when she feels wronged. She accepted the rationale behind her engagement, but objected to Xu Jiawei making such a consequential decision without asking her first. 7 9

She is protective and attentive toward Liu Lin. She warns him not to expose his twin martial souls, watches over him during periods of unconsciousness, worries over his unexplained absences, and notices subtle changes in his health that others overlook. 8 14 16 24 25 29

Her affection often manifests as feigned haughtiness, possessiveness, and playful demands for attention. She dislikes being treated as less interesting than Liu Lin's books, insists that he call her by name rather than title, and repeatedly enters his courtyard by climbing the wall. 10 21
