Background / History

Ning Rongrong grew up as the cherished daughter of Ning Fengzhi and the sect’s “little princess.” Gu Rong helped raise her from childhood and regarded her with a grandfather’s protectiveness. Her innate rank-nine soul power distinguished her from the other young sect descendants, but her auxiliary martial soul left her dependent on others for protection. Sect rules therefore required a direct descendant’s partner to be a powerful battle soul master 16 19.

Her fascination with Ji Hongchen began with his appearances as Sword Lord. She preferred the graceful style of his swordsmanship to Chen Xin’s Seven Kill Sword and carried a replica of his Jinghong Sword. Using her position as a new investor in the Great Soul Arena, she obtained his records and discovered a combined winning streak of 115 matches. She then ordered her guardians to investigate him 16.

After studying his background, she approached him outside the arena and hired him as her guard. Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin regarded his talent as suitable for both Rongrong and the sect’s future, while Gu Rong initially objected. Ning Fengzhi subsequently arranged an engagement banquet after witnessing Ji Hongchen’s abilities during their soul-ring expedition 17 19 23 24.

Her martial soul’s evolution became a turning point for the entire sect. When Ning Fengzhi credited ancestral blessings for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Rongrong insisted that Ji Hongchen deserved the credit. Her transformation prompted the sect’s renaming and reinforced her position as its heir 28 29.

Appearance

• Build: Petite and delicate, approximately 160 centimeters tall at her introduction 16.
• Face and complexion: A cute face and snow-white, carefully tended skin 16.
• Hair: Pink 28.
• Clothing: Introduced wearing a predominantly white dress 16.
• Signature accessory: A small sword modeled after Ji Hongchen’s Jinghong Sword 16 17.
• After the Aromatic Silk Pill: Described as having an ethereal beauty and a faint fragrance 30.

Personality

Rongrong’s Little Demoness nickname reflects her mischievous, headstrong, and sharp-tongued behavior. She exploits her status when pursuing something she wants, whether invoking investor privileges to inspect Sword Lord’s records or confronting opponents with the sect’s influence. Her confidence can exceed her personal fighting ability: after insulting Tai Nuo and Tai Long, she retreats behind Ji Hongchen when they reveal their soul rings 16 19 31 58.

Around Ji Hongchen, she is affectionate, generous, and eager for his attention. Admiration for him gives her a reason to cultivate seriously; she explicitly wants to reach rank twenty without delaying him. She also repeatedly presses her father to reward Ji Hongchen’s work with money, ores, and other resources 18 26 28 84.

Her possessiveness does not prevent friendships with his other companions. She initially argues with Xiao Wu over her engagement, later cooperates with her in soul fighting, and becomes close enough to Zhu Zhuqing for mutual teasing. She nevertheless competes with Dugu Yan for Ji Hongchen’s attention 32 35 85 88.
