History

Encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest

Meng Yiran and her grandmother, Chao Tianxiang, spent several days pursuing a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. They arrived during the confrontation between Xiao Yexuan’s group and Shrek Academy, asking for the serpent. Meng Yiran’s initial fear turned into admiration when Xiao Yexuan defeated Zhao Wuji with a single strike 23 24.

After Ellen subdued Tang Hao, Chao Tianxiang brought Meng Yiran forward to pay their respects. Xiao Yexuan invited them to Maple Forest Evening and released the thousand-year serpent rather than giving it to Meng Yiran as a Soul Ring. Eager for the chance to see him daily, she accepted his invitation and accompanied his group 25.

Cultivation at Maple Forest Evening

As a new tenant, Meng Yiran felt inferior because she was the weakest among the women around Xiao Yexuan. Her grandparents left to earn money for lottery draws, while she remained at Maple Forest Evening and asked him to help her become stronger 27.

Xiao Yexuan recommended developing her Serpent Cane through summoning skills rather than restricting herself to one conventional combat role. Meng Yiran accepted his advice and insisted on beginning with his most demanding combination of body-tempering methods. She also chose to train outside the Simulation Pod, believing its pain immunity would prevent her from fully experiencing the ordeal. Despite eventually fainting, she never asked to give up 27 28.

She continued training outdoors and in the Simulation Pod, rapidly catching up with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong in physical readiness for a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Tang Yuehua subsequently sought similar training after seeing her improvement 37 38.

Defeating Tang San

When Yu Xiaogang tried to have his Martial Soul research sold at Maple Forest Evening, Meng Yiran challenged his claim that there were “no trash Martial Souls, only trash people.” She questioned whether that statement condemned accomplished Soul Masters who could not advance, then pointed to his own decades-long stagnation at rank twenty-nine. Yu Xiaogang challenged her to fight his disciple 39.

Tang San demanded three pills if he won: a Mystic Water Pill, a Life-Restoring Pill, and a Yang Fire Pill. Meng Yiran accepted the confrontation and revealed her Ten Thousand Year third ring 40.

During the match, she evaded Blue Silver Entanglement and summoned a Mandala Snake, Onix, and a winged snake. Their combined poison, defense, and aerial pressure overwhelmed Tang San, forcing him to surrender and admit that Yu Xiaogang’s Martial Soul research was garbage 41.

Helping the Dragon Duke

Meng Yiran obtained an Ascending Dragon Core through the lottery. After her grandfather took it, his Martial Soul evolved and his Soul Power reached level 90. She encouraged him to become a Maple Forest Evening guard, emphasizing its monthly payment of one hundred lottery draws and access to the Simulation Pod 43.

Unable to borrow a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring outside the establishment’s rules, she accepted Xiao Yexuan’s recruitment task instead. The arrangement provided a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring or Soul Bone upfront in exchange for subsequently inviting three suitable tenants. She chose the ring for her grandfather, who absorbed it and became a guard 43 44.

Recruiting the Skywater Academy Group

Meng Yiran left with the Dragon Duke to find recruits. She encountered Shui Bing’er and Xue Wu while Shui Bing’er was searching for her fourth Soul Ring. Displaying her black third ring helped attract their interest in Maple Forest Evening 46 78.

She contacted Xiao Yexuan after finding the two students, intending to continue searching for a third recruit. He suggested considering their accompanying teachers as well. After she filmed a secluded grove, he used Fixed Immortal Travel to reach her. His arrival caused an embarrassing intimate incident; when he offered compensation, she instead asked him to take responsibility for her 78.

Meng Yiran then brought him to meet Shui Bing’er, Xue Wu, Fang Yuan, and Bai Ningbing. Xiao Yexuan collected the group in his helicopter and explained Maple Forest Evening’s cultivation benefits during the journey 79.

Personality

Meng Yiran’s determination is most evident in her cultivation. She deliberately chooses painful training over the Simulation Pod’s pain immunity, continues after becoming exhausted, and supplements supervised sessions with further practice. Xiao Yexuan praises her perseverance rather than attributing her strength solely to his guidance 28 37 43.

Initially shy and insecure around Xiao Yexuan, she becomes openly affectionate as her gratitude and attraction deepen. Her wish to become worthy of him motivates her early training, but she also insists on fulfilling her recruitment obligation rather than continually accepting his help without contributing 25 28 43 78.

She is considerably more confrontational toward opponents. She challenges Yu Xiaogang’s reasoning directly and remains confident against Tang San. In planning her own abilities, however, she values a balanced, suitable team over simply obtaining the strongest possible summons 39 40 42.
