Background

Xue Ningbing is the human identity adopted by the Ice Empress after she chooses to leave the Far North alongside Huo Yuhao. Before departing, she absorbs nine Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrows in the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal cavern, repairing her soul origin and breaking through to 400,000 years of cultivation. Huo Yuhao and the Snow Empress urge her to take the marrow first, prioritizing her survival over their own gains 8.

When Huo Yuhao decides to enroll at Shrek Academy, she initially opposes his departure out of concern that his soul-beast identity could be exposed. She ultimately insists on accompanying him as a concealed protector, takes the name Xue Ningbing, and leaves the Far North with him two days later 10 11.

At Shrek, she is admitted alongside Huo Yuhao. Her ability to sense Du Weilun secretly eavesdropping immediately draws his suspicion, while her perceptiveness also lets her recognize that the seemingly frail Mu En possesses unfathomable strength 15 16.

Appearance

In her human guise, Xue Ningbing appears as a petite young girl with a delicate face, turquoise hair, and emerald-green eyes. She presents herself as an ordinary eleven-year-old student despite being the Ice Empress in disguise 11 21 41.

• Short in stature, roughly comparable to Xiao Xiao 17
• Emerald-green eyes 41
• Turquoise hair 21
• Can pass as an ordinary human girl with Huo Yuhao’s Auspicious Power assisting her concealment 11

Personality

Xue Ningbing is proud, blunt, and easily provoked, especially when Huo Yuhao calls her unintelligent or when others challenge her place at his side. Her tsundere manner often masks genuine affection: she requests that Huo Yuhao call her “Bing’er,” becomes upset when their private time is interrupted, and later accepts his confession despite initially being too shy to answer clearly 15 41.

She is fiercely protective of Huo Yuhao. Her concern manifests as scolding, possessiveness, and practical intervention; when he cultivates excessively, she demands a written guarantee that he will manage his time and protect his health 20. She also arranges for Dai Huabin to face Huo Yuhao during the Freshman Assessment after learning of Dai’s provocation 51.

Though she is capable of cruelty toward enemies and dismissive of weaker opponents, she is loyal to the people she considers hers. She remains close to the Snow Empress, treats Xiao Xiao as a trusted friend and teammate, and repeatedly acts as a stabilizing—if intimidating—presence around Huo Yuhao 59 68.

Abilities & Skills

Ultimate Ice and Ice Jade Scorpion Power

Xue Ningbing possesses overwhelming ice-element power and an Ice Jade Scorpion martial soul in her human identity. Her Ultimate Ice is powerful enough to terrify Millennium Soul Beasts and dominate opponents far beneath her true strength 69 113.

• Broke through to 400,000 years after restoring her damaged soul origin with Mystic Ice Marrow 8
• Uses a distinctive soul-beast pressure that caused ten Millennium Soul Beasts to flee or suffer defeat during her Class Assessment 69

• Previously failed to absorb such a Soul Bone before restoring her Ultimate Ice attribute 113
• Reached 700,000 years of cultivation and learned the Ice Blast skill without needing the corresponding Soul Bone 112

Human Disguise

To accompany Huo Yuhao into the human world, Xue Ningbing can suppress and conceal her true nature.

• Conceals her soul-beast aura 11
• Imitates a human martial soul and soul rings 11
• Suppresses her apparent strength to the level of a Soul Elder 11
• Passes as an ordinary eleven-year-old girl when assisted by Huo Yuhao’s Auspicious Power 11
• Her displayed cultivation and soul-ring setup at Shrek are described as fabricated rather than conventional human progression 59

Perception and Barriers

Xue Ningbing possesses unusually sharp senses and can create a barrier to protect private conversations.

• Detected Du Weilun’s concealed presence outside his office, despite his attempt to hide his aura 15
• Recognized Mu En’s extraordinary strength despite his frail appearance 16
• Created a soundproof barrier around herself and Huo Yuhao near Sea God Lake 41

Combat

Xue Ningbing generally restrains her true strength in human society, but her combat record remains overwhelming.

• Forced a Freshman Assessment referee to move her team into the first match; their opponents surrendered after she revealed her strength 40
• Won the Freshman Assessment alongside Xiao Xiao after Huo Yuhao deliberately held back in the final 59
• Defeated all ten Millennium Soul Beasts assigned for her Class Assessment within three days 69
• Claimed seven consecutive individual victories for Shrek in the Soul Master Tournament, with nearly every match ending in under three minutes 104
• Combined her ice-blue spear with Huo Yuhao’s to form a giant lance that pierced Death’s Hand 100
• Fought beside Gu Qiuer in the tournament’s 2v2 round; their match ended in a draw because both focused on defeating the opponents before the other could 107

• Scorpion-and-qilin soul-tool rings — A matching couple’s set purchased with Huo Yuhao at the Treasure Appraisal Fair 82

Relationships

• Huo Yuhao — Longtime companion, charge, and eventual boyfriend. Xue Ningbing cared for him from infancy, followed him into the human world as his protector, and accepted his confession at Sea God Lake 11 41 64. She later identifies herself as his principal wife, though Gu Qiuer contests that position 85.
• Snow Empress / Xue’er — Closest friend and fellow Far North ruler. The two supported one another through the Ice Empress’s breakthrough, and Xue Ningbing remains emotionally attached to her even after leaving the Far North 8 68.
• Xiao Xiao — Roommate, friend, and Freshman Assessment teammate. They win the Freshman Assessment together, with Xiao Xiao openly celebrating while Xue Ningbing remains composed 17 59.
• Gu Qiuer — Romantic rival for Huo Yuhao’s attention and status. Their first encounter at Shrek becomes openly hostile, and they repeatedly argue over who is Huo Yuhao’s “main wife” 70 85.
• Wang Dong — Frequent teasing rival. Their arguments range from food disputes to competition over Huo Yuhao, though they also fight on the same reserve team 28 85.
• Du Weilun — Shrek’s Director of Studies, who becomes wary of her after she detects his concealed eavesdropping 15.
• Dai Huabin — Target of her suspicion because of his hostility toward Huo Yuhao. She intervenes to ensure he faces Huo Yuhao in the Freshman Assessment 30 51.

Xue Ningbing joins Shrek’s enlarged reserve team and remains a major source of combat power throughout its training and practice matches 85 87. She later represents Shrek in the Soul Master Tournament, including its final team battle against the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy 104 117.
