Background / History

Xue Ying first manifested as Jiang Bai's martial soul when he was six years old. Jiang Bai initially recognized its white-and-pink, rabbit-like form as resembling a creature he had known before, then named it “Xue Ying” because he found its former name awkward to use. Six years later, it remained constantly at his side as both martial soul and companion 1.

Although outsiders frequently mistake Xue Ying for a rare soul beast, Jiang Bai identifies it as a detached martial soul. Its exceptionally pure ice attribute draws the attention of Huo Yuhao, Tianmeng, Tang Ya, Bei Bei, Ling Luochen, Gong Changlong, Wang Yan, Lexuan, Meng Hongchen, and other ice-attribute cultivators 2 3 9 10 13 15 39 65.

Jiang Bai conceals Xue Ying's true Ultimate Ice quality with the Golden Orb, allowing its attribute to appear only slightly above average. Its real nature is later reflected in Jiang Bai's cultivation and ice-based abilities 3 4.

During Jiang Bai's journey in the Far North, Xue Ying reacts warmly to Su Tong's Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul. When Jiang Bai saves Su Tong from an Ice King Bear, their ice soul powers unexpectedly resonate and form a martial soul fusion skill, revealing a previously unknown compatibility 25 28.

The Ice God's Split Soul is similarly unable to classify Xue Ying, noting that it resembles a Heavenly Snow Woman while remaining fundamentally different. During Jiang Bai's later Far North cultivation, Xue Ying accompanies him and the Ice God, receives Frostflower Dew in the Ice God's hidden garden, and continues to explore cold environments with enthusiasm 28 80 83.

Appearance

Xue Ying resembles a small, fluffy rabbit-like doll with a cold body and a distinctly icy presence.

• White body with pink accents 1
• Green eyes 1
• Pink ear pendants 1
• A leader-like mark on its forehead 1
• Usually carried in Jiang Bai's arms, robes, or collar 1 5 25
• Emits frost and snow when displeased 9
• Is recognized by Shrek students and staff as an unusually doll-like Detached Martial Soul 6 15

Personality

Xue Ying is shy around strangers and initially hides in Jiang Bai's arms or clothing when watched too closely. It gradually accepts people who spend time with it, particularly Tang Ya and Xiao Xiao 2 3 5.

It is strongly drawn to cold environments, ice-attributed people, cold jade, and ice-attributed food. Conversely, it avoids Xiao Xiao when the latter's Crimson Jade makes her body too warm 9 12 19.

Despite its timid behavior, Xue Ying can be playful and stubborn. It protests when Jiang Bai gives away its Snow Spirit Pills, resents being recalled into its white space during travel, and readily accepts Xiao Xiao's offer of cold jade plaques in exchange for staying with her 7 19 31.

Its confidence around unfamiliar people improves over time. It swats away Meng Hongchen's hand when she tries to touch it without permission, and it reacts indignantly when the Titan Snow Ape that once chased it is mentioned 65 81.

Xue Ying is also openly skeptical of the Ice God's fishing ability, though it continues to accompany Jiang Bai and the Ice God during their stay at the icy pool 80.

Abilities & Skills

Detached Martial Soul

Xue Ying is an independently manifested martial soul rather than a conventional beast or tool martial soul.

• Can remain physically present apart from Jiang Bai and interact with others 2 6
• Is capable of acting independently, including running into Ling Luochen's embrace and reacting to nearby ice attributes 9
• Can be recalled when Jiang Bai needs to conceal its existence during travel 9 31
• Its unusual form makes it difficult for even experienced soul masters to classify 2 9 13 28
• Its happiness can directly and considerably improve Jiang Bai's cultivation speed 82
• Shares Jiang Bai's senses closely enough to perceive a map revealed to him in the Golden Tree 72

Ultimate Ice Attribute

Xue Ying possesses an exceptionally pure ice attribute whose true quality is Ultimate Ice.

• Jiang Bai suppresses its true attribute with the Golden Orb to avoid unwanted attention 3
• Its cold nature makes it uncomfortable around heat, including Xiao Xiao's Crimson Jade 12
• Its presence and ice attribute are sufficient to attract the interest of ice-attribute Soul Kings such as Ling Luochen 9 10
• Jiang Bai's Ultimate Ice cultivation rises rapidly before Rank 30, aided by the martial soul's quality 4
• Ling Luochen's recovery is accelerated by remaining near Jiang Bai's suppressed Ultimate Ice aura 50

Frost Descent

Xue Ying can use Jiang Bai's first soul skill, Frost Descent, in an emergency.

• Releases frost mist to obstruct vision and perception 14 18
• Reduced the force of Wang Dong's Butterfly Goddess's Light and protected Ning Tian from most of the blast 18
• Its independent use of the skill appears limited; Ning Tian observes it only once during the battle 18

Snow Spirit Pill Refinement

Xue Ying gathers herbs and refines the genuine Snow Spirit Pills distributed by Jiang Bai.

• The pills were originally Xue Ying's snacks 7
• Jiang Bai gives the pills to Huo Yuhao to accelerate his cultivation and secure his goodwill 3 7
• Genuine pills are rare enough that later products sold under the same name are described as counterfeits 3
• The pills contain a powerful ice-attributed treasure and helped Huo Yuhao reach Rank 12 4

Martial Soul Fusion Compatibility

Xue Ying can resonate with Su Tong's Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul.

• Jiang Bai's ice soul power merges with Su Tong's during the Ice King Bear incident 28
• The resulting martial soul fusion skill surprises both Jiang Bai and the Ice God's soul fragment 28
• Jiang Bai orders Su Tong not to disclose the fusion skill afterward 29

Innocent Heart

Xue Ying is connected to Jiang Bai's fourth soul skill, Innocent Heart, a concealment and compression ability acquired during his Far North cultivation.

• Can compress and disguise the apparent ages of Jiang Bai's Soul Rings, concealing the abnormality of his true ring configuration 80
• Assists Jiang Bai in extracting and compressing Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire during her emergency treatment 79
• Allows Jiang Bai to conceal his growing strength after his four Soul Rings become ten-thousand-year rings 80
• Jiang Bai uses it to destroy an Evil Soul Master's Bone Mountain attack during the raid on an illegal mine 107

Winter Solstice Domain

Jiang Bai possesses the innate Winter Solstice Domain associated with Xue Ying. When he openly deploys it against a Soul Emperor, his Soul Rings turn white and merge into his body 28 133.

• Rapidly drains the opponent's Soul Power within the domain 133
• Produces thick white mist that engulfs the opponent, even after he cuts an opening with a soul skill 133
• The Soul Emperor identifies it as an Innate Domain belonging to Jiang Bai's Detached Martial Soul 133

Relationships

• Jiang Bai — Owner, companion, and primary caretaker. Xue Ying stays close to him, rubs its cold head against his shoulder, and prefers sleeping beside him 1 19.
• Tang Ya — An early admirer who repeatedly feeds and pets Xue Ying. It gradually stops resisting her attention 3 4.
• Xiao Xiao — A frequent playmate who eagerly holds, feeds, and occasionally borrows Xue Ying. Xue Ying initially avoids her heat but later willingly stays with her in exchange for cold jade plaques 6 12 19 22.
• Ling Luochen — Ice-attribute Soul King whose cold aura interests Xue Ying enough for it to leap into her embrace. Ling Luochen later benefits from recovering near Jiang Bai and Xue Ying's Ultimate Ice aura 9 10 50.
• Su Tong — A Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul wielder whose power resonates with Xue Ying, enabling a martial soul fusion skill 25 28.
• Huo Yuhao — Jiang Bai gives him Snow Spirit Pills made by Xue Ying; Tianmeng is unable to identify Xue Ying despite his knowledge of soul beasts 2 3 7.
• Ice God — Initially unable to identify Xue Ying, though he recognizes its partial similarity to a Heavenly Snow Woman. He later travels with it in the Far North and gives it Frostflower Dew in his hidden garden 28 80 83.
• Lexuan — Her moon martial soul's chill draws Xue Ying's attention when Lexuan meets Jiang Bai and Xiao Xiao at the Beast Fighting Arena 39.
• Meng Hongchen — Becomes curious about Xue Ying at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, but Xue Ying rejects her attempt to poke it 65.
• Du Busi — Takes interest in Xue Ying as a rare Detached Martial Soul and learns that its happiness can enhance Jiang Bai's cultivation. Xue Ying also remembers being chased by the Titan Snow Ape sought by the Body Sect 81 82.
• Ye Guyi — Xue Ying stands guard while she and Jiang Bai fight Evil Soul Masters in an illegal mine 107.
