Hu Liena

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Hu Liena trains within Spirit Hall as part of its Golden Generation, alongside Yan and her older brother, Xie Yue. Their training is conducted separately from Chen Jue and Qian Renxue because their talents require different teaching methods. Bibi Dong treats Hu Liena as a cherished student, leaving her unaccustomed to the disdain she later encounters outside Spirit Hall 4 15.

Chen Jue looks after her during their years together at Spirit Hall, and she develops an obvious crush on him. Her affection becomes unmistakable when she shyly brings him a towel after training, much to Yan’s distress 4.

Appearance

• Facial features: Foxlike eyes, pale-pink lips, and small canine teeth visible when she smiles 5 21 49.
• Figure: A slender waist and curvaceous build 21.
• Hair: Long hair, worn in twin ponytails with fox-tail ornaments for her fox-themed outfit 21.
• Fox-themed outfit: A tight, dark-red leather bodysuit embroidered with golden fox patterns, paired with lifelike fox ears and a tail. She completes the look with elaborate makeup emphasizing her eyes 21.

Personality

Hu Liena is initially shy about expressing her feelings, but she gathers the courage to confess directly to Chen Jue. Once their relationship is established, she becomes more openly playful and competitive, teasing him about his interest in other women and pinching his waist when his attention wanders 5 10 19 49.

Her jealousy is rooted in fear of abandonment rather than a simple refusal to share his affection. She admits that she wants to remain memorable to him and ultimately asks only that he keep a place for her in his heart. Although she accepts the prospect of other partners, new romantic rivals still unsettle her 12 17 35.

She also shows concern for the other women around him. She alerts Chen Jue to Zhu Zhuqing’s distress, brings him food when he misses a meal, and welcomes Xiao Wu as a little sister rather than blaming her for becoming involved with him 36 38 39.

• Zhu Zhuqing — A dormitory companion who becomes as close as a sister, although they privately compete for Chen Jue’s favor 23 36.
• Xiao Wu — Accepted as a little sister after becoming Chen Jue’s partner. Hu Liena reassures her instead of responding with anger 39.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Confession and Departure from Spirit Hall

Hu Liena confesses after witnessing Qian Renxue kiss Chen Jue. Yan interrupts by challenging him, but Chen Jue postpones his answer until that evening. When Hu Liena overhears him discussing departure, she fears he intends to abandon her. He reassures her, their relationship becomes intimate, and she asks to accompany him 5 7.

Shrek Academy

Hu Liena confronts Li Yusong over his treatment of their group, prompting him to release his soul-power pressure against her. Chen Jue intervenes, and the group proceeds through the entrance tests. His defeat of Zhao Wuji secures their admission 15 17 19.

While attending the academy, she receives her skull Soul Bone, continues physical training, and eventually reaches level 40. Her willingness to welcome Xiao Wu also marks a shift from fearing replacement to accepting other partners within Chen Jue’s circle 23 25 39 40.

Star Dou Great Forest Journey

Hu Liena accompanies the academy’s expedition to obtain Soul Rings. At a roadside restaurant, a Canghui Academy student attempts to touch her; Chen Jue breaks his wrist and defeats the attackers 40 43.

During the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent encounter, she worries about Chen Jue’s safety and later teases him over Meng Yiran’s interest in him. While he watches for the Titan Giant Ape, she mistakes his vigilance for lingering thoughts about Meng Yiran, then for anger, and tries to regain his attention with affection 46 49 50.

System Intimacy Milestones

The intimacy meter belongs to Chen Jue’s system; its rewards are granted to him rather than directly to Hu Liena.
