Background / History
Mu Xi grew up alongside Xu Yue after he came to live with the Mu family at age three. As Mu Chen and Yuan Bao'er's daughter, she treated Xu Yue as a younger brother, frequently teasing and physically dragging him along, while also being attentive to his feelings about his missing parents 1.
At the time of Xu Yue's martial soul awakening, Mu Xi was already a two-ring Great Soul Master and a first-rank blacksmith. Xu Yue's Eden's Star strengthened her Radiant Sun Martial Soul, giving her a persistent sense of attraction toward him and raising the prospect that her martial soul could evolve 1 3.
Her feelings became more complicated when Xu Xiaoyan developed a martial soul fusion skill with Xu Yue. Mu Xi reacted with jealousy and distress, but gradually acknowledged that her attachment to Xu Yue was more than ordinary sibling affection 11 12 13. Xu Yue later reassured her that he would pursue a martial soul fusion skill with her as well 14.

Personality

Blacksmithing is central to Mu Xi's ambitions. Xu Yue's unprecedented talent initially leaves her doubting herself, but she refuses to abandon the craft; her goal is to become a Divine Craftsman and personally forge Xu Yue's battle armor 18.
