Lu Linglong

Biodata

Appearance

• Pink hair: Wang Zhuo affectionately rubs her pink-haired head while she clings to his arm 30.
• Bandaged injuries: She watches Wang Zhuo’s match against Liu Kunsheng wrapped in bandages. Cheering for him aggravates an existing injury; its cause is not established in the supplied passages 34 36.
• Expressive reactions: She frequently blushes, covers her face, or fidgets when Wang Zhuo flirts with her 18 21 32.

Personality

Linglong is affectionate and playful, but easily embarrassed by romance. Wang Zhuo’s appearance and teasing quickly fluster her, and she initially hesitates to ask for his WeChat. As they grow closer, she becomes more openly demonstrative, clinging to his arm and deliberately arranging for him to catch her 18 30.

Her embarrassment does not prevent her from defending him. She challenges Lu Jin over his treatment of Wang Zhuo, unties Wang Zhuo when he is publicly accused of harassing her, and insists that their intimacy was mutually wanted. She also punches Hidden Dragon when he attacks Wang Zhuo 22 23 30.

She shows kindness when she stops Wang Zhuo from targeting a small bird with a throwing knife. Her curiosity is equally pronounced: she joins her friends in eavesdropping on the elders and secretly follows Lu Jin to watch him teach Threefold Reversal 21 26 38.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Luotian Grand Ceremony and Hu Jie’s Capture

Linglong wins her opening match against Yun without an exchange of blows. Later, beside Lu Jin in the Mount Longhu woods, she meets Wang Zhuo under his assumed name, Liu Guanyi. She protests Lu Jin’s sudden test of him and is visibly captivated when Wang Zhuo briefly reveals an azure eye beneath his blindfold 15 18.

She subsequently accompanies Wang Zhuo into a deserted grove as part of an operation to draw out Hu Jie. Their outing becomes an extended flirtation while Lu Jin and the others watch from hiding. After Hu Jie’s capture, Wang Zhuo credits their “Liu-Ling duo,” and Linglong proudly supports his account; the passages do not establish a specific combat contribution from her 21 23.

Defending Wang Zhuo

Linglong brings Zhang Chulan and his companions to meet the elders, embarrassed that Lu Jin has punished Wang Zhuo. Finding him suspended from a beam beneath an accusation of harassment, she unties him and declares that they both wanted their intimacy. She then deliberately needles Lu Jin by accusing him of trying to separate lovers 22.

When Wang Zhuo asks for Lu Jin’s blessing to marry her, Linglong shyly urges her great-grandfather not to refuse so quickly. She is also relieved by the explanation that Feng Baobao is Wang Zhuo’s sister, easing her concern over his affectionate treatment of Baobao 23.

Bonfire Gathering

Linglong brings Wang Zhuo and Feng Baobao to the contestants’ moonlit gathering. She enthusiastically supports the effort to uncover the reason for Wang Zhuo’s blindfold and hugs Zhi Jinhua after the latter correctly guesses spatial perception 31.

Alcohol makes her more openly affectionate. The following morning, she wakes beside Wang Zhuo and anxiously asks whether she behaved strangely. He teases her by claiming that she forced a kiss on him; the passage presents this as his teasing rather than an independently confirmed event 32.

Witnessing Threefold Reversal

Despite her injuries, Linglong watches and cheers during Wang Zhuo’s fight with Liu Kunsheng. Afterward, she delivers the elders’ request to see him 34 36 37.

She joins the young Outsiders secretly following Lu Jin and Wang Zhuo to the back mountain, where Lu Jin begins teaching Threefold Reversal. When their hiding place is exposed, she explains that they were curious about the private lesson. Wang Zhuo also privately draws her interest with a betting suggestion, though no payout is documented 38 40.

When Wang Zhuo disappears, Linglong joins the search and questions Feng XingTong. At the next match, she witnesses Wang Zhuo’s third-stage transformation and is startled by Lu Jin’s extraordinary emotional reaction. After the match, she joins the group repeatedly asking Wang Zhuo to demonstrate Threefold Reversal again 42 46 49.
