History

Su Qian rescued Zi Yan from the Magic Beast Forest and raised her at Canaan Academy as his adopted granddaughter. Before arriving at the academy, she was bullied by stronger Magical Beasts and had no friends; afterward, her raids on medicinal-herb storehouses made academy members fear her as the “Brute Force King.” 82 94

Lin Qing meets Zi Yan in Su Qian’s office while receiving his Guest Elder token. He recognizes her as a humanoid Magical Beast and notices her desire to learn her true race and find her tribe. Though he cannot provide a Transformation Pill, he gives her Earth-Center Body-Tempering Fluid, an Earthfire Lotus Seed, and Tier Four Grain-Fed Pills. 82

Zi Yan grows attached to Lin Qing because he treats her naturally, provides medicinal snacks, and honors his promise to refine pills for her. After trading a Blood Python Branch for Dragonblood Lingzhi-infused pellets, she declares him her friend and begins visiting his residence frequently. 91 93 94

She accompanies Lin Qing’s group through the Magic Beast Forest and the Black-Corner Region, using her strength and treasure instincts to aid their expeditions. Her desire to mature leads Lin Qing to give her a Myriad Beasts Fruit, initiating a long evolution inside a purple Light Cocoon. 99 102 103 117 119

Zi Yan eventually emerges as a Dou Emperor. Her bloodline briefly lets her assume the body of a grown woman before the lingering effects of the Human Shape Grass reduce her to the appearance of a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl. Her breakthrough also awakens Zhu Kun, the imprisoned dragon who realizes that his daughter is nearby. 146 147

Appearance

Zi Yan initially resembles a small girl in white, with waist-length light-purple hair, fair skin, and large dark eyes. Her evolution later leaves her with the appearance of a young teenage girl, while her true dragon bloodline can briefly produce an adult form. 82 146

• Light-purple hair.
• Dark, watery eyes.
• Fair, delicate complexion.
• Initially childlike in stature because of the Human Shape Grass.
• Emits overwhelming dragon bloodline pressure after her breakthrough. 82 146

Personality

Zi Yan is lively, blunt, impulsive, and intensely food-motivated, particularly where medicinal herbs and pellets are concerned. She regularly sneaks into repositories, treats rare spiritual medicines as snacks, and is easily distracted by treasure. 82 90 99

Her unruliness masks profound loneliness. Having been isolated by both Magical Beasts and humans, she values sincere treatment and is deeply excited to have Lin Qing as a friend. She is not malicious by nature, keeps her word, and accepts Lin Qing’s authority when he sets boundaries. 82 93 102 147
