Background

Xiao Mingyue enrolls at Rain City University alongside Ji Zhixing. Her cousin, Qin Xiaoran, is a senior-year Genius Class student who offers to arrange strong teammates for their Blood Beast Secret Realm expedition 66 76.

She has access to expensive cultivation resources, including a rented university villa with a gravity chamber and a Heart-Refining Stone pillow. Renting such a villa costs two million Gene Coins per semester. University teachers also treat her background cautiously: one warns against provoking her mysterious recommender, while Yang Manni considers her identity before agreeing to a points loan 72 89 93 95.

She tells Ji that she may eventually need his help, but only if he evolves his gene to Seventh-Order Glory Rank. The nature of that future task remains undisclosed 85.

Appearance

• Features and bearing: Described as having striking looks and an exceptional bearing 76.
• Everyday clothing: Wears pale white dresses at university 72.
• Expedition clothing: Wears a silver-white combat suit in the Blood Beast Secret Realm 76.

Personality

Xiao Mingyue is outgoing and playful, contrary to Ji Zhixing’s initial impression that she is aloof. She jokes about his hesitation to sit with her, teases him about his growing debts, and encourages him to accept useful help rather than become embarrassed by it 72 73 85 95.

Her curiosity is tempered by respect for privacy. She notices changes in Ji’s bearing and asks about his progress, but explicitly allows him not to answer. She likewise keeps her own gene and the circumstances of her breakthrough private 72 93.

She supports others with both generosity and practical judgment. After helping Ji develop Bedrock Body, she recognizes his internal injuries and provides treatment; when he unexpectedly develops self-healing, she worries that advancing without understanding his gene could jeopardize his future cultivation 74 75.

Her loyalty is active rather than merely verbal. She publicly defends Ji against Gu Zheng’s associates, intervenes during his escape from the Genius Class students, and becomes angry upon learning that Yu Zhirou disclosed his hiding place to his pursuers 76 91 97.

Story Role / Major Arcs

University Meeting and Bedrock Body Training

Qin Xiaoran first proposes that Ji join Xiao’s expedition team, but Ji declines because he has already promised to accompany his dormmates. After those roommates withdraw to avoid Gu Zheng’s hostility, Xiao renews the invitation and offers her gravity chamber as a teammate’s benefit 66 72.

She supervises the training that produces Ji’s four-star Bedrock Body. Her subsequent healing potion also unexpectedly helps his Willow Tree Gene develop basic self-healing 73 74.

Blood Beast Secret Realm Team

Xiao introduces Ji to Zhou Han, Su Qing, and Iron Mountain, then shuts down Chen Wenjie and Han Shuang’s attempt to intimidate them. During the hunt, she supplies wind support and flame attacks 76 77 81.

Frustrated by her poor blood-crystal yields, she arranges for Ji to refine her share of future kills in exchange for payment. Later, she gives him a recovery potion and secures his promise to help her if he reaches Glory Rank 81 85.

Weapon Token Escape

Xiao accompanies Ji underwater to investigate the Genius Class gathering. While he approaches the Weapon Tokens, she prepares an escape route. Her Flame Spear Scrolls stop his pursuer, and she carries him through a hidden passage before treating his injuries 88 89 91.

Afterward, she advises his equipment selection and arranges immediate access to development potions through Yang Manni. The pair then locate and rescue their teammates from a Blood Beast ambush 95 97 98.

Earth-Spirit Blood Zhi

Xiao devises the concealment-and-diversion plan for reaching the treasure guarded by a third-order Blood Snake. On the final day, she enters the den with Ji beneath the Chameleon Cloth while their teammates draw the guardian away 99 100.

When the Blood Zhi cannot be uprooted or damaged, she suggests absorbing its aura instead. They remain hidden beside it while Ji develops Root of the Earth, then escape when the snake leaves. Near the realm’s closing time, they prepare to attack two Blood Wolves together 101 102.
