Liu Xing

Biodata

Background and Story Role

Liu Xing meets Lin Yuan while helping him choose a first pet beast at the Breeding Center. He recommends a metal-mutated Mist Spirit Spider that the center has discounted as weak, offering to help raise it. He also shows Lin Yuan the Still Spirit Cats and explains the troubled history of the underdeveloped cat Lin Yuan ultimately buys. Although Liu Xing doubts the choice, he respects it and offers continued help 10 11 12.

Lin Yuan then persuades Liu Xing to buy the unusual spider himself. Liu Xing takes home both the spider, Jinjin, and an Illusion Dream Butterfly, Zizi. Their exchange turns into a friendship in which each regularly advises the other about pet beasts 13 19 24.

As Lin Yuan develops Yuanming Pet Food Shop, Liu Xing advises him to barter scarce Spirit Dew rather than always sell it. He lends Lin Yuan a Life-Soul Pendant to support Zilan’s growth, arranges business advice from his family, and later helps plan an expansion of the shop and breeding facilities 24 25 28 61 67.

Appearance

• Wears gold-rimmed glasses and pet-beast-print T-shirts, including designs featuring Zizi 24 67.
• Initially looks excessively thin and somewhat roguish. After spending time with Zizi, his face appears fuller and rosier; other people ask whether he is wearing makeup 52 60.

Personality

Liu Xing is talkative, playful, and openly sentimental. He becomes particularly fond of describing his encounters with Lin Yuan and their pet beasts as “fate.” He is generous with his time and family resources, but respects others’ boundaries: despite his curiosity about Zilan’s mutation, he does not enter Lin Yuan’s plant room uninvited 13 21 25 67.

His concern for overlooked beasts is sincere. He investigated Baishi’s past, intended to adopt him if necessary, and is moved when he later sees how much the cat has recovered. Liu Xing is also receptive when Lin Yuan points out problems with Jinjin’s feeding or offers suggestions for his research 12 29 32 67.
