Power Progression

Background / History

Rescue and Recruitment

At twenty-three, Ye Lingling was gravely wounded while fighting an Evil Soul Master. She traveled to Shrek City seeking treatment from Holy Spirit Douluo, but was close to death before she could reach her. Qing Linyun encountered her there, and she became the first person to contract with his Devil Card. Its redemption effect saved her life, after which she remained by his side 4 5.

Qing Linyun subsequently rebuilt her cultivation foundation, replacing her Martial Soul and acquiring Soul Spirits, Soul Bones, and Battle Armor for her. His total investment approached ten billion Federation Coins. He initially envisioned her as his right-hand woman and full-time bodyguard, though her eventual cultivation emphasized support rather than frontline combat 3 5 26.

Running Heaven-Supporting Pillar

Ye Lingling helped Qing Linyun build Heaven-Supporting Pillar and became responsible for its thousands of employees. Before leaving for Eastsea City, he formally gave her full authority over company affairs, including accounts, personnel, Soul Tool research, and new Soul Spirit development 6 75.

During his absence of more than a month, she established a cola distribution network and kept Soul Spirit research progressing. She also oversaw pharmaceutical production, including injury medicine made from her own formula 25.

The Dark Hummingbird Incident

After Qing Linyun’s battle with Dark Hummingbird, Ye Lingling met him at the East Sea and accompanied him back through a portal. She treated the deep wound near his shoulder blade, carefully removing damaged clothing, applying ointment, and bandaging him 24.

She blamed her absence for his injury and asked him not to travel alone again. Before returning to the East Sea, Qing Linyun fulfilled his promise to give her a hundred-thousand-year Light Unicorn Right Leg Bone. When she questioned whether she was too weak, he reassured her that managing the company and providing support were valuable responsibilities 25 26.

Ye Lingling kept Dark Hummingbird’s death secret at Qing Linyun’s request. After Na Nali revealed that she knew about the assassination attempt, Ye Lingling disclosed the severity of his wound. Na Nali and Leng Yulai then left to confront the Holy Spirit Cult; upon their return, Ye Lingling criticized their recklessness and the danger their deaths would have posed to Qing Linyun 29 34 35.

Later Company Affairs

Ye Lingling coordinated work on Qing Linyun’s Three-Word Battle Armor and medicine for Wu Changkong’s longstanding injuries. She later presented the completed Wuji Heaven armor, reporting a stable enhancement of 130%, increased to 135% through its fine inscriptions 61 81.

When Qing Linyun requested four billion Federation Coins for purported hundred-thousand-year Soul Spirit research, she arranged funding despite the company having only 1.8 billion in liquid assets. Rather than divert funds committed to raw-material futures, she agreed to obtain money from the Ye Clan and Angel Legion, accepting a two-month delay to another project 69.

After clashing with Gu Yue over her closeness to Qing Linyun, Ye Lingling recruited Leng Yulai and Na Nali into a united front. The three later confronted him together. When he subsequently planned a visit to the Southern Legion, Ye Lingling raised concerns about a possible trap and was assigned to watch over affairs at home 75 76 81 83.

Appearance

Ye Lingling has black hair, large eyes, fair skin, and a curvaceous figure. The narration describes her beauty as becoming more striking after she acquired the Light Goddess Butterfly, combining youthful vitality with mature grace 24.

• Office attire: Wears a light gray business suit, pinned-up hair, and thin-framed glasses while reviewing sales reports 69.
• Footwear: Wears high heels during her laboratory confrontation with Gu Yue 75.
• Bearing: Presents an elegant, intellectual appearance and a brisk, decisive manner at work 75 82.

Personality

Ye Lingling is a capable, discreet administrator. Qing Linyun regards her as both gentle and intelligent, trusting her to manage his company and protect sensitive information without constant supervision. Her financing decisions show that she distinguishes available cash from money already committed to production 35 69.

With Qing Linyun, she is affectionate, teasing, and openly protective. She admits that completing her work does not ease the loneliness of his absence, and insists she could at least help him escape danger if she accompanied him. His stronger combat ability sometimes makes her question her own usefulness 25 26.

Her composure becomes sharper around romantic rivals. She trades insults with Leng Yulai, challenges Na Nali’s familiarity with Qing Linyun, and attempts to discourage Gu Yue through seniority and condescension. Nevertheless, she can cooperate with those same rivals when she believes they share a common concern 5 61 75 76.

Abilities & Skills

Light Goddess Butterfly

Her replacement Martial Soul supports a light-oriented cultivation build. Qing Linyun selected her Soul Rings and Soul Bones to develop her toward a healing and support role modeled on Ya Li 5 26.

• Her support specialization reflects her chosen build rather than an absolute inability to fight 25 26.
