Liu Jieqi

Biodata

Background / History

Capture and Rescue

Jieqi and her older sister were tracking evil soul masters during practical training with Xuan Zi. His negligence allowed them to be kidnapped, and they remained imprisoned for days without him coming to rescue them. Both sisters resented his failure to protect them 20 21.

Their captors were an elderly Holy Spirit Cult member and her two sons, who intended to sacrifice them to the “Supreme True God.” With their martial souls sealed, the sisters could only resist physically. Jieqi protested when Ziqiang grabbed Chunmiao by the hair, then clawed and struck the old woman when she herself was attacked 17.

Ji Feng unexpectedly appeared in their hostage room through his Blood Gate. Jieqi approached him and tried to touch him to determine whether he was real, prompting Chunmiao to pull her back. He promised to free them and subsequently killed their captors. During the gruesome final battle, Chunmiao covered Jieqi’s eyes 16 17 19.

Search for the Cellar

After their rescue, Jieqi thanked Ji Feng and volunteered to help search the residence. She shared information about the cult’s sacrificial cultivation methods and reported Ziqiang’s claim that the Supreme True God occupied an underground chamber. Ji Feng challenged her explanations after learning that much of her ritual knowledge came from her teacher rather than firsthand observation 20.

Jieqi suggested that a large rock beside the well concealed a mechanism. Chunmiao froze the rock, and Jieqi struck it with fire; the sudden temperature change shattered it and exposed a hidden door leaking blood-red light 20.

Failed Return to Shrek

After Chunmiao recovered their Storage Soul Tools, the sisters asked Ji Feng to escort them back to Shrek Academy. Jieqi hugged his arm and pleaded, but he refused, offering a map instead and declaring that he would stay to confront the remaining spirit 21.

The sisters left together, only to discover that the surrounding forest had become a barren wasteland and the residence had vanished. Skeletal hands caught them during their escape. Chunmiao’s Ice Mist helped them break free, but rising bone spikes formed cages around both sisters, trapping them again 21.

Appearance

• Wears a Shrek Academy uniform, which is tattered during her captivity 16 20.
• Has a more innocent bearing than Chunmiao’s scholarly, reserved demeanor 16.
• Is described as more voluptuous than her older sister, with soft hands and a fiery allure 20 21.

Personality

Jieqi is outgoing, curious, and more openly expressive than Chunmiao. She approaches Ji Feng immediately after his sudden appearance, readily offers conversation and assistance, and becomes visibly embarrassed when he bluntly criticizes her secondhand knowledge 16 20.

Her affection for her rescuer is overt: she edges closer while speaking, clings to his arm when requesting an escort, and teases Chunmiao about possibly liking him. Her playfulness gives way to fear when the sisters encounter the wasteland and skeletal traps 20 21.

Despite her vulnerability, Jieqi resists mistreatment and tries to protect her sister. She generally trusts Chunmiao’s leadership unconditionally, although their renewed capture briefly shakes that confidence 17 21.

• Elemental specialization: Jieqi explicitly states that her soul rings provide elemental skills, not charm abilities 20.
