Background / History

Meng Yiran is the granddaughter of Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Serpent Grandmother Chao Tianxiang. Her father, Meng De, serves as Beast Academy's vice dean. She studies in the academy's Advanced Class, where her father assigns her to guide the newly enrolled Zhang Fei around campus. 41

She initially presents herself as proud and aloof, but is immediately struck by Zhang Fei's appearance and composure. She accepts his request to eat together, introduces him to the academy's training grounds, and remains beside the Advanced Class during his challenge against four students. 41 43

During Zhang Fei's extended cultivation at Beast Academy, Meng Yiran respects his request not to be disturbed. She later seeks him out with food, cultivation questions, and meal invitations, becoming resentful at his consistently lukewarm responses. 44 45

By the journey to Suotuo City, Meng Yiran has reached Level 30. She joins Zhang Fei and her grandparents on a Soul Ring hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest, where Zhang Fei is tasked with helping her secure a suitable third ring. 52 56

Appearance

Meng Yiran is a tall, slender girl with an emerging mature charm and an aura compared to a dangerous venomous snake. 41

• Neatly cut, ear-length blue-gray hair. 41
• Large dark-brown eyes with slightly upturned corners. 41
• Wears Beast Academy's blue-gray Advanced Class uniform while at school. 41
• Wears a pale-purple training outfit during team training and a fitted pale-purple dress with a butterfly hairpin while exploring Suotuo City. 52

Personality

Meng Yiran combines pride with youthful enthusiasm. She confidently acknowledges her popularity at Beast Academy, yet her composure falters around Zhang Fei; she blushes at his attention and increasingly admires his strength after he defeats the Advanced Class challengers. 41 43

She is energetic and eager for freedom from constant cultivation, quickly supporting the plan to explore Suotuo City before the Soul Ring hunt. She is also trusting of Zhang Fei, even when he abruptly leaves on a private errand, though she is visibly reluctant to let him go. 52 53

She has a strong sense of fairness. After she and Zhang Fei wound and track a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, she directly demands that Shrek Academy return the prey, becoming furious when Zhao Wuji dismisses her claim. 57
