Background

Liu Yiyi is the daughter of Liu Yuanming, a late-stage Foundation Establishment True Person of the Evergreen Sect. Her status and her four-attribute spirit root give her unusually high standards in choosing a Dao companion. 103 122

Before meeting Wang Mengde, she served as an Island Patrol Guard on Rosy Cloud Island. Her fearsome reputation among rogue cultivators earned her the nickname “Fiery Little Pepper”; rumors credit her with breaking a defiant bandit cultivator’s three legs during an arrest. 16

She was originally held back at the sixth layer of Qi Refinement for five years. With a Profound-Penetrating Barrier-Breaking Pill, she eventually reached the seventh layer. 102

Liu Yiyi became Tie Li’s Dao companion roughly half a year before the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish operation. The pair practiced the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, intending to advance together. 102

Appearance

Liu Yiyi has a youthful, innocent-looking baby face that sharply contrasts with her mature, curvaceous build. She is repeatedly described as exceptionally beautiful. 16 102

• Fair, nearly translucent skin. 102
• Large eyes with thick lashes; her smile forms shallow dimples. 102
• Usually wears the Island Patrol Guards’ standard robes while on duty. 16
• Wears a moon-white dress in private and possesses a moon-white mid-grade Dao robe. 112 120
• Has long black hair and a small, refined chin with slight baby fat. 118 120

Personality

Liu Yiyi presents herself as forceful and intimidating in her role as a patrol captain. During the investigation into the Chen brothers’ deaths, she applies spiritual pressure to Wang Mengde and uses the Soul-Seizing Technique while questioning him and Shen Qingyue. 16 17

Despite her reputation, she is principled and takes responsibility seriously. After developing feelings for Wang Mengde, she offers Tie Li fivefold, then twentyfold, compensation to dissolve their partnership rather than leave him without repayment. She is also concerned that an abrupt separation would harm her father’s reputation and friendship with Tie Li’s master. 112 113

She is resolute when cornered. After Tie Li drugs and imprisons her, she prepares to fight him to the death rather than submit. 117 Following her rescue, she helps Wang Mengde devise a way to conceal Tie Li’s death while asking that Tie Li be killed quickly rather than tortured. 118

Liu Yiyi is openly protective of Wang Mengde. She rebukes Shen Qingxue for belittling him, defends his talent in talisman crafting, and publicly states that she intends to become his cultivation partner. 124

Story Role / Major Arcs

Investigation of the Chen Brothers’ Deaths

Liu Yiyi first appears while leading Island Patrol Guards to investigate the deaths of Chen Dahu and Chen Two-Tiger. She pressures and interrogates Wang Mengde, but leaves when he provides alibis and no concrete evidence supports an arrest. 16 17

Wave-Chasing Flying Fish Operation

As one of the captains assigned to capture the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish, Liu Yiyi uses her Demon-Binding Rope to trap the demon. The creature breaks free and nearly kills her with Water Blade Slashes; Wang Mengde ultimately restrains the fish and kills it after allowing it to threaten her. 103 108 109

The incident changes her view of Wang Mengde. After he saves her and confesses his feelings, she begins questioning her relationship with Tie Li and resolves to dissolve their partnership. 110 112 113

Tie Li’s Coercion

Tie Li secretly fills the air with Spirit-Softening Powder, prevents Liu Yiyi from using a Voice Transmission Talisman, and forces her to consume aphrodisiac-laced wine. Liu Yiyi resists and swears to fight him to the death if he forces himself on her. 116 117

Wang Mengde infiltrates the residence, destroys Tie Li’s dantian with Palm Thunder, and frees Liu Yiyi. She later assists in the plan to make Tie Li’s death appear to have been caused by Golden Sun Sect cultivators. 117 118 119

Dao Companion Ceremony

After Liu Yuanming discovers her relationship with Wang Mengde, Liu Yiyi refuses to abandon him even under her father’s pressure. Liu Yuanming eventually accepts their relationship, takes Wang Mengde as a disciple, and agrees to preside over their formal Dao companion ceremony. 120 122

Liu Yiyi and Wang Mengde exchange Heartbound Partner Pendants during the ceremony. Liu Yuanming provides lavish dowries and cultivation resources, while numerous Liu clan members and Foundation Establishment cultivators attend. 125 126 127
