Ninth stage of Dou Qi	22 32	Reached this level in just over a month after Xiao Le bestowed the rankless Heavenly Demon Ancient Scripture upon her.

Background / History

Ya Fei is a direct descendant of the Miter Family and the daughter of its patriarch, Mittel Tengshan. Family politics and the influence of the founding elders limited Tengshan's authority, resulting in Ya Fei being sent to manage affairs in Wutan City despite her status. 16 17

Before meeting Xiao Le, Ya Fei had poor cultivation aptitude and had given up cultivating. Instead, she established herself through the Mittel Auction House, where her commercial judgment and ability to cultivate connections made her an influential figure in Wutan City. 7 15

Her circumstances changed after Xiao Le gave her the Heavenly Demon Ancient Scripture. Though the cultivation art carries risks of misfortune, Ya Fei's fortune-type talent was considered suited to offsetting them; she subsequently advanced rapidly to the ninth stage of Dou Qi. 13 22 32

Appearance

Ya Fei is a tall, alluring woman whose poise is presented as elegant rather than merely seductive. She is frequently associated with crimson clothing, from a long red dress to a formal gold-trimmed crimson outfit. 5 15 32

• Gorgeous, flower-like features and captivating eyes. 5
• Tall, curvaceous figure and a naturally bewitching charm. 5
• Usually dresses in striking red or crimson garments. 5 15 32
• Her cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Ancient Scripture gives her an additional demonic allure. 32

Personality

Ya Fei is shrewd, composed, and highly skilled at business. She can assess the value of cultivation methods, arrange large transactions efficiently, and negotiate terms that benefit both the Mittel Auction House and her chosen allies. 7 15

She is patient under provocation, initially refusing to be drawn into Miter Lie's insults. However, she is protective of those she values and ultimately intervenes when his hostility toward Xiao Le escalates. 16

Despite her confident public persona, Ya Fei has strong ambitions and regrets her former inability to cultivate. Her relationship with Xiao Le reveals a more vulnerable side: she worries over his safety, tends to him after his near-fatal ambush, and openly shares her feelings with her father. 15 17 18 31
