Background / History

Elder Lion previously served as a loyal subordinate of Qian Daoliu. During young Bibi Dong’s time as Saintess, he serves Spirit Hall under Pope Qian Xunji and helps protect her 8 23.

Whale Rubber Purification

Bibi Dong first summons Lion to purify five pieces each of thousand-year and ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber. Unfamiliar with purification and knowing the substance chiefly as an aphrodisiac, he initially misunderstands her request. Nevertheless, he removes its impurities without charging her and promises to conceal the matter from her teacher 7.

Heaven Dou City Visit

Lion accompanies Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, and Elder Azure Luan to Heaven Dou City. He responds alongside the Pope when a loud impact comes from Bibi Dong’s room and later announces Qian Xunji’s arrival at the Upper Three Sects’ competition 8 10 11.

Bibi Dong’s victories leave Lion and Azure Luan proud of the honor she brings Spirit Hall. Her subsequent behavior surprises him: when she kicks Yu Xiaogang into a river, Lion immediately rescues the boy, recognizing the consequences if Yu Yuanzhen’s son drowns 12.

Secret Soul Ring Expedition

When Bibi Dong reaches level fifty, Lion initially refuses to take her hunting without the Pope’s permission. He relents after she promises to make him a Worship Elder when she becomes Pope and to accept responsibility if Qian Xunji becomes angry. They arrange to leave secretly at nine that night 16.

Lion escorts her toward the Star Dou Great Forest. During the journey, she shows him Li Qiu’s reconnaissance bee and Laser Sword, awakening his longstanding interest in Soul Tool crafting. His request to become Li Qiu’s disciple is rejected through Bibi Dong 18 19 20.

In the forest, Lion helps Bibi Dong obtain an eighteen-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider and guards her as she absorbs its Soul Ring and External Soul Bone. He is astonished by the ease of her absorption and openly envies her Eight Spider Lances 23 24.

Qian Xunji discovers their unauthorized absence and intends to punish them upon their return. Although Bibi Dong believes her talent will protect her, Lion remains worried about the Pope’s reaction; no punishment is shown in the supplied chapters 23 25.

Appearance

• Build: Described as imposing and virile 7.
• Eyes: Described as lionlike 19.
• Clothing: Wears a cape, which Bibi Dong accidentally cuts with the Laser Sword 19.
• Later-timeline comparison: Qian Renxue remarks that he looks young and handsome in Bibi Dong’s photograph 18.

Personality

Lion is courteous and responsive to Bibi Dong’s respectful treatment. He performs the demanding Whale Rubber purification for free and honors her request for secrecy, though he privately finds it amusing that she takes his refusal of payment completely literally 7.

He is cautious about violating orders, but his ambition makes him persuadable. The promise of a future Worship Elder position overcomes his initial refusal to authorize Bibi Dong’s outing, without removing his fear of punishment 16 25.

His enthusiasm for Soul Tools dates to childhood. He abandoned efforts to learn their manufacture because nobody could teach him, but eagerly seeks instruction after seeing Li Qiu’s devices 19.
