Background / History
Gui Mei was among the people who rescued Lu Chen when he was an infant. Years later, after Lu Chen awakened the god-tier Rugoset martial soul, Bibi Dong immediately ordered Gui Mei to bring the child from the Awakening Temple to the Pope Hall. He accepted without question and departed as a black streak. 3 5
At the temple, Gui Mei appeared without warning, startling the Spirit Hall personnel. He took Lu Chen directly to meet Bibi Dong before Golden Crocodile Douluo could bring him to the Consecration Hall, placing Lu Chen under the Pope's side of Spirit Hall's internal power struggle. 5
After Bibi Dong accepted Lu Chen as her disciple, Gui Mei escorted him to his new residence and arranged for him to stay at the Saintess Hall with Hu Liena. Though usually cold and taciturn, he was briefly unsettled when Lu Chen called him “Grandpa Ghost.” 9 10
Appearance
Gui Mei is consistently described as an ethereal, shadow-like figure whose presence can be difficult to detect.
- Appears as a black humanoid phantom emerging from, or blending into, darkness. 3
- Has an unfathomable and chilling aura. 35
- Can conceal his presence so thoroughly that an observer may not notice him even when he is nearby. 19
- His presence became “deeper and darker” after absorbing the Hell God Exquisite. 42
Personality
Gui Mei is silent, disciplined, and absolutely obedient to Bibi Dong. When ordered to retrieve Lu Chen, accompany the Pope, guard camp, or capture a soul beast, he acts immediately without questioning the assignment. 3 16 24
He speaks sparingly even among allies; Yue Guan remarks that Gui Mei will not say an unnecessary word if silence is enough. Despite this reserved manner, he gives Lu Chen practical advice, recognizes the importance of combat experience, and quietly observes the child's extraordinary growth. 15 29

- Releases pressure capable of driving away spirit beasts in the Sunset Forest. 33
- Helped overwhelm Dugu Bo through the combined threat of his and Yue Guan's nine-ring auras. 36
- His and Yue Guan's cooperation is regarded as substantially more dangerous than either Title Douluo alone. 36

Soul Beast Capture
Gui Mei can subdue and transport powerful spirit beasts for Lu Chen's cultivation.
- Was ordered to capture a ten-thousand-year dragon-type soul beast for Lu Chen's second ring. 24
- Returned with a heavily injured, ten-meter Hell Demon Dragon, enabling Lu Chen to acquire his second soul ring. 25
Equipment / Items
- Hell God Exquisite — An immortal herb with a yin attribute, identified by Yue Guan as highly compatible with Gui Mei's martial soul and soul power; Gui Mei later absorbed it. 37 42
Relationships
- Bibi Dong — His Pope and commanding superior; Gui Mei follows her orders immediately and accompanies her on major missions. 3 16 24
- Lu Chen — A child Gui Mei helped rescue and later escorts on Bibi Dong's behalf. Lu Chen calls him “Grandpa Ghost,” an unusually familiar address that briefly catches Gui Mei off guard. 5 9 10
- Yue Guan — Fellow Title Douluo and frequent partner in escort, defense, and combat support. Yue Guan calls him “Old Ghost.” 15 19 33
- Hu Liena — Treats Gui Mei familiarly as “Grandpa Gui,” recognizing that he is important to Bibi Dong and has taken care of her. 10
- Dugu Bo — One of the Spirit Hall forces whose presence, alongside Bibi Dong and Yue Guan, compels Dugu Bo to yield the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. 35 36

Trivia
- Ordinary children are usually frightened by Gui Mei's status and aura, making Lu Chen's casual “Grandpa Ghost” address highly unusual. 9
- Gui Mei remained largely silent when Lu Chen demonstrated Void Dragon Form and devoured the Azure Thunder Dragon Hawk's corpse, but treated the ability with visible seriousness. 23
- Unlike Yue Guan's open excitement over immortal herbs, Gui Mei reacts more subtly, though the Hell God Exquisite visibly matters to him. 35 37
