Background / History

Blue Tyrant Academy and Yu Xiaogang

Liu Erlong left her clan for Yu Xiaogang and spent years waiting for him at Blue Tyrant Academy, where she served as dean. According to her account, he initially abandoned their relationship out of fear of family opposition and public ridicule, then later returned claiming those concerns no longer mattered 55.

Confrontation at Dugu Manor

Liu Erlong accompanied Flender and Yu Xiaogang to Dugu Manor to demand an explanation for Zhao Wuji’s death. She hesitated when ordered to attack Ning Xian, but eventually activated her Martial Soul Avatar while Flender attacked alongside her. Ning Xian immobilized both attacks and dismantled her flaming dragon manifestation 54.

After Ning Xian shattered Flender’s eight Soul Rings, Liu Erlong stepped between them to stop further harm. With neither fighter able to protect him, Yu Xiaogang offered her to Ning Xian in exchange for his own life 54.

Liu Erlong rejected being used as a bargaining chip and ended their relationship. Ning Xian refused to accept someone handed over by another person, explicitly giving her the choice to leave or decide for herself whether to stay. She refused Yu Xiaogang’s pleas for rescue, declared that she would not avenge him, and watched Ning Xian kill him 55.

A New Life at Dugu Manor

After Yu Xiaogang’s death, Liu Erlong voluntarily knelt before Ning Xian and asked to remain, offering to protect Dugu Manor and follow his orders. She refused Flender’s invitation to leave and declared that she was no longer Blue Tyrant Academy’s dean. Dugu Yan placed her in charge of the kitchen and invited her to cultivate together 55.

Ning Xian subsequently healed her accumulated battle injuries during cultivation at Starry Lake. Dugu Yan arranged a room for her, provided a new red dress, and helped comb and pin up her hair. Liu Erlong thanked her for both the clothing and the accommodation as she settled into the household 56 57.

Spirit Hall Visit and Later Events

Liu Erlong accompanied Ning Xian and Dugu Yan to the Papal Palace. When Bibi Dong’s power suppressed her Blazing Fire Dragon, Ning Xian removed the suppression. After his victory, Liu Erlong defended her decision to follow him, contrasting his respect for her choice with Yu Xiaogang’s attempt to trade her away 62 63.

Her break with Yu Xiaogang remained final: after learning that Ning Xian could resurrect him, she said there was no need for him to return 65.

She continued serving meals, helping Dugu Yan practice her abilities, and observing Ning Xian’s revelations on the Golden Ranking. His demonstration of vast space within a drop of water impressed the gulf between his power and the gods’ more clearly upon her than their destructive displays had 74 76 77 78.

Appearance

• Hair: Long black hair reaching her waist, worn loose or tied back with a red ribbon or crimson hairpin 55 56 57.
• Build: A full figure with a toned waist and abdomen maintained through years of cultivation 57.
• Clothing: Usually wears a long red dress. Dugu Yan gives her a replacement embroidered with pale gold dragon patterns and fitted with a pale gold sash 54 57.
• Old scars: Faint marks remain on her fair skin after her underlying injuries are healed, including a long, thin scar at her waist 57.

Personality

Liu Erlong initially shows deep loyalty to her old companions: she follows Yu Xiaogang to Dugu Manor and shields the incapacitated Flender. Yu Xiaogang’s betrayal forces her to reassess that loyalty, and she firmly rejects his claim that their relationship gives him authority to dispose of her 54 55.

At Dugu Manor, she is diligent and willingly takes on ordinary work despite her Soul Saint cultivation. She insists on cooking and washing dishes because she wants to contribute, not because Ning Xian demands it. Her teaching is patient but practical, particularly when correcting Dugu Yan’s excessive strength and unnecessary use of Soul Power in the kitchen 56 59.

She continues addressing Ning Xian as “Master” despite being told it is unnecessary. For her, the title recalls her own decision to stay. She distinguishes him from Yu Xiaogang chiefly because he does not treat others as bargaining chips, rather than simply because he is stronger 56 59.

Abilities & Skills

Her Martial Soul manifests as a fiery-red dragon and produces powerful heat and flames 54 56.

• Releases Soul Saint-level pressure to test Dugu Yan’s developing dragon bloodline 56.
• Can channel flames along her sleeve and manifest above the Papal Palace 63.
• Its flames are too intense for an ordinary kitchen stove, so she cooks without them 56.
• Can be suppressed by substantially stronger powers, including Ning Xian’s Xuanhuang Power and Bibi Dong’s domain 54 62.

Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar

Her seventh Soul Ring allows the Blazing Fire Dragon to fuse with her body, forming an enormous flaming dragon silhouette 54.

• Previously suffered brief interruptions in Soul Power circulation when used at full strength because of old battle injuries 56.
• Those injuries cease to trouble her after Ning Xian’s treatment 56.

• Helps Dugu Yan adjust everyday movements to her strengthened body 56 59.
• Advises her that rapid cultivation requires familiarization with Soul Power and stabilization of bloodline power 59 61.

Relationships

• Ning Xian — Her chosen master. He refuses Yu Xiaogang’s offer to hand her over, permits her to stay voluntarily, and heals her hidden injuries 55 56.
• Dugu Yan — Cooking student and cultivation companion. She welcomes Liu Erlong into the household, arranges her room and clothes, and helps her begin anew 55 56 57.
• Yu Xiaogang — Former lover and Golden Iron Triangle companion. His attempt to exchange her for his survival ends her attachment to him; she later rejects his possible resurrection 55 65.
• Flender — Golden Iron Triangle companion. She protects him after his defeat but refuses to leave Dugu Manor with him 54 55.
