Hongying

Biodata

Appearance

Hongying is a young woman with a high ponytail, jet-black eyes, and an athletic figure. Her smile reveals two small dimples 3 7 16.

• Build: Fair skin, a slender, toned waist, and long, shapely legs 7.
• School infiltration outfit: A white shirt beneath an unzipped red-and-white school jacket, with her hair in its usual high ponytail 21.
• Clothing size: Si Xiaonan identifies her dress size as XXL when Wang Quan shops for gifts 34.

Personality

Hongying is outgoing, expressive, and quick to treat newcomers as friends. During Wang Quan’s arrival, she excitedly questions him about his strength, explains Cangnan’s landmarks, and embraces him as a comrade before they reach headquarters. Her hospitality extends to offering spare rooms to both Wang Quan and Lin Qiye 3 4 12.

She is fiercely persistent in training: even after Wang Quan repeatedly knocks her down, she keeps getting back up, earning his admiration. Her cheerful confidence also makes her comfortable teasing Zhao Kongcheng and exposing Chen Muye’s softheartedness, though the latter promptly challenges her to spar 3 7 12.

Despite her usual openness, Hongying becomes flustered when others suggest she likes Wang Quan romantically. She repeatedly calls him her idol and denies being his girlfriend or wife; her embarrassment and visible admiration nevertheless fuel her teammates’ teasing 8 16 30 32.

• Si Xiaonan — Teammate and housemate. They investigate the school together and jointly make Wang Quan’s lollipops; Xiaonan regularly teases Hongying about her admiration for him 4 8 21 22 30.
• Wang Quan — Idol, houseguest, and training partner. She admires his strength and record of protecting others.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Wang Quan’s Arrival and Squad Training

Hongying and Zhao Kongcheng collect Wang Quan from Cangnan’s airport and bring him to the Peace Office. When he admits he has no money, she offers him accommodation at her villa. She subsequently volunteers to fight him first during squad training, suffers repeated defeats, and has her injuries healed by him afterward 3 4 7.

Ghost-Faced King Incident

Hongying leaves home to continue searching for the Ghost-Faced King. After its defeat, she arrives with Chen Muye and learns that Wang Quan saved Zhao Kongcheng. In her excitement, she accidentally sends Wang Quan flying; his defensive “Stopping Power” does not activate because she bears him no malice 8 11.

Nanda Serpent Demon Operation

Hongying infiltrates No. 2 Middle School with Lin Qiye and Si Xiaonan, helps uncover evidence in the dean’s office, and attacks the exposed mother demon. Her apparent kill proves to be a shed-skin decoy, leaving Lin Qiye to defeat the surviving creature 21 22 24 25 26.

While Wang Quan and Chen Muye face a separate threat at Cangnan’s border, Hongying prays for their safe return and asks to go there herself. Zhao Kongcheng refuses, warning that they would only interfere. She later celebrates when Chen Muye confirms Wang Quan survived and broke through 26 27.

Thank-You Gifts

Before Lin Qiye leaves for recruit training, Hongying entrusts him with the lollipops she and Si Xiaonan made for Wang Quan. His return gifts—yellow roses and white dresses—produce further awkward misunderstandings. During his villa visit, she loses her balance after noticing him watching her spear practice, and he catches her. The visit ends with another embarrassing bathroom encounter when she forgets a male guest is present 30 31 33 34.
