Background / History
Arrival at Maple Forest Evening
Bai Chenxiang comes from the financially struggling Speed Clan. She visits Maple Forest Evening to find Tang Yuehua after Yuehua contacts the Four Single-Attribute Clans as part of her preparations to capture Tang Hao 44 45.
Initially unimpressed by the establishment’s size, Chenxiang boasts that her speed and silent flight would keep her from disturbing its residents. When Xiao Yexuan challenges her, she tries to surprise him from behind, only for him to move faster. She then releases her Sharp-Tailed Swift Martial Soul and takes flight, but his Lightning Five Consecutive Whips knock her out of the air 44.
Becoming a Tenant
Ning Rongrong places Chenxiang in her room’s Simulation Pod. After emerging two hours later, Chenxiang is impressed by its training capabilities and wants to stay. However, the daily rent of one Gold Soul Coin is beyond what she feels her clan can afford 45.
Xiao Yexuan brings her to Tang Yuehua, whom she meets for the first time. Yuehua offers a one-million-Gold-Soul-Coin top-up to support her stay. Chenxiang initially objects to the expense, intending to rent for a month and eventually earn her own rent. She accepts after Yuehua explains that the money also provides opportunities to draw Soul Bones. Her top-up gives Xiao Yexuan 2,400 points, allowing him to unlock the Heaven Dou City instance 45.
Training and Later Appearances
Chenxiang practices body tempering with Tang Yuehua. Although initially uncomfortable with receiving Xiao Yexuan’s whip-based training, she agrees after Yuehua encourages her and soon becomes enthusiastic about its effects. Xiao Yexuan subsequently counts her among Maple Forest Evening’s eight tenants 51.
During Xiao Yexuan’s battle with Tang Hao, Chenxiang is shocked by an intimate teleportation mishap involving Tang Yuehua. Yuehua explains that she does not blame him and is more concerned about the danger he faces. Chenxiang’s embarrassment gives way to worry and greater gratitude toward Xiao Yexuan 62.
In the finale, Chenxiang is shown sitting at a table with Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun 157.
Appearance
- Eyes and complexion: Described as having beautiful eyes and fair skin 44.
- Martial Soul manifestation: A pair of light wings spreads from either side of her body when she releases the Sharp-Tailed Swift 44.
Personality
Chenxiang is initially haughty and intensely proud of her Martial Soul, which she considers the noblest of all. She readily accepts a challenge to her speed and remains determined to escape Xiao Yexuan even after he first outmaneuvers her. Defeat forces her to recognize how limited her experience within the Speed Clan has been 44 45.
Despite her pride, she is careful with money and unwilling to squander her family’s resources. Her first response to Tang Yuehua’s financial support is to refuse the excessive amount and propose paying her own way later 45.
She is also sensitive to propriety and concerned for those close to her. Her alarm over Tang Yuehua’s public embarrassment turns into concern for Xiao Yexuan’s safety once she understands Yuehua’s perspective 51 62.
Abilities & Skills
Sharp-Tailed Swift
- Pure-speed specialization: Her Martial Soul is explicitly described as focused entirely on speed 44.
- Rapid movement: She moves behind Xiao Yexuan almost immediately when their contest begins 44.
- Flight: Manifested wings allow her to rise into the air and fly toward the building like a streak of light 44.
- Claimed silent flight: Chenxiang boasts that she can fly quickly and without a sound; Xiao Yexuan nevertheless detects and intercepts her 44.
- Demonstrated limit: Her speed cannot evade Xiao Yexuan’s movement or Lightning Five Consecutive Whips 44.
Cultivation Training
- Simulation Pod access: Experiences simulated training before accepting Tang Yuehua’s support to stay at Maple Forest Evening 45.
- Lightning-assisted body tempering: Trains with Tang Yuehua and later receives more effective instruction directly from Xiao Yexuan 51.
Relationships
- Tang Yuehua — Aunt and financial benefactor. Funds Chenxiang’s stay, explains the Soul Bone draws, and encourages her cultivation 45 51.
- Xiao Yexuan — Landlord and body-tempering instructor. Their first encounter humbles her pride; she later admires his abilities and worries about his safety 44 45 51 62.
- Ning Rongrong — Fellow tenant who lends Chenxiang her room and Simulation Pod after the speed contest 45.
- Tang San — Older cousin; Tang Yuehua explicitly identifies Chenxiang as his younger cousin 45.
Trivia
- Chapter 98 discusses Chenxiang’s original-story fate, in which she fails to become a god and dies of old age after Ma Hongjun attains godhood. This is a comparison, not a documented death in this novel’s timeline 98.
- Xiao Yexuan speculates that vitality from Ah Yin, immortal herbs, and other treasures could help Chenxiang reach rank ninety-nine and live for a thousand years. The passage does not establish that she actually achieves those milestones 98.
