Background / History

Chrysanthemum Douluo first appears as part of Spirit Hall's delegation to Du Busi, accompanying Saintess Hu Liena and Ghost Douluo 29. During Hu Liena's duel with Lu Xiao, he tries to caution her against making a reckless wager, but she dismisses his concern and confidently accepts 30.

When Lu Xiao reveals two thousand-year soul rings despite having awakened only months earlier, Chrysanthemum Douluo is visibly shaken and begins worrying whether Hu Liena can truly win 30. He later recognizes that Hu Liena has developed feelings for Lu Xiao, understanding her emotional state better than Ghost Douluo does 31.

After Hu Liena loses and kisses Lu Xiao, Chrysanthemum Douluo attempts to leave with her and Ghost Douluo, but Du Busi stops them and demands an explanation 32. Chrysanthemum Douluo respectfully frames the kiss as a junior's jest, but Du Busi forces the matter into a fight 32.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo battle Du Busi together, using their coordination and Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Polar Static Domain, but Du Busi overwhelms them 33 34. After the battle, both are left badly injured, acknowledge Du Busi's mercy, and escort Hu Liena back to Spirit Hall 34.

At the Pope Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo reports to Bibi Dong that Du Busi's strength is not inferior to the Second High Priest and that Lu Xiao likely possesses twin martial souls, with a second martial soul superior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon 34. He is also forced to admit that Hu Liena has deep affection for Lu Xiao and gave him her Saintess Token 34.

Appearance

Chrysanthemum Douluo is a flamboyant, androgynous-looking man whose ceremonial dress and delicate features make him stand out immediately 29.

• Wears a bright red ceremonial robe reserved for Title Douluo 29
• Has exquisite, eerie makeup 29
• Skin described as tender as a baby's 29
• So feminine in appearance that only his Adam's apple confirms he is male 29
• After fighting Du Busi, his robes are torn, his lips are bloodstained, his face is pale, and his left eye is badly swollen and bruised 34

Personality

Chrysanthemum Douluo is cautious and protective toward Hu Liena, repeatedly worrying about the consequences of her decisions during the Lu Xiao duel 30 32. He treats her affectionately enough that she calls him “Grandpa Chrysanthemum” 30.

He is perceptive about emotions, noticing that Hu Liena has taken a liking to Lu Xiao while Ghost Douluo is still uncertain about what is happening 31. In formal situations, he is deferential toward stronger figures: he addresses Du Busi as “Senior,” praises Lu Xiao's genius, and later thanks Du Busi for showing mercy 32 34.

Despite his politeness, he is not without pride or frustration. When Du Busi frames Hu Liena's kiss as an offense against Lu Xiao, Chrysanthemum Douluo becomes inwardly furious but suppresses it because of the power gap 32.
