History

Newcomer’s Test

Captain Wang Zhen assigned Li Yue to guide the newly recruited Dongfang Yueming through East District Three and the first half of East District Four. She immediately took a liking to his handsome appearance and calm bearing, drawing the jealousy of her colleague Zhang Meng 9.

Li Yue knowingly participated in the squad’s newcomer test, leading Dongfang into a secluded alley and stepping back when three Carrion Rats appeared. However, she had not expected the beasts to be berserk. Recognizing that they could threaten even her Lesser Flesh Refining cultivation, she hesitated over whether to intervene. Dongfang killed all three before she acted, leaving her astonished by his saber technique 10.

When Zhang Meng arrived pretending to rescue them, Li Yue inferred that he was responsible for making the test dangerously excessive. Her attitude toward him turned cold and disgusted 11.

Patrol Partnership

Li Yue delivered Dongfang’s new patrol uniform and “East Three” token, then continued patrolling alongside him. Her initial attraction grew into admiration after witnessing his combat ability. During their patrol, she explained the Cowhide, Stone Skin, and Jade Skin stages, including the techniques and resources needed to pursue higher skin tempering 13.

She later bluntly rejected Zhang Meng’s invitation to dinner. He blamed her apparent interest in Dongfang for the rejection 18.

Azure-Scaled Leopard Attack

Two Flesh Refining Realm Azure-Scaled Leopards ambushed the pair during patrol. Li Yue confronted the first with her willow-leaf saber, but its strength overwhelmed her. After the second appeared, the first struck her shoulder, knocked her to the ground, and sent her weapon flying. She shouted for Dongfang to flee, only to witness him kill both beasts with his movement and saber techniques 20.

Dongfang proposed reporting the victory as a joint effort rather than revealing that he had killed both beasts himself. Li Yue accepted and presented herself as the main attacker, while also suggesting that someone might have deliberately lured the leopards into their route. She suspected Zhang Meng but lacked evidence; his responsibility for this attack remained unconfirmed 21.

Wang Zhen awarded her 40 contribution points and Dongfang an additional 20. Afterward, she privately transferred all 40 of her points to Dongfang because she believed they rightfully belonged to him. She then kissed his cheek as a thank-you and ran off blushing 21.

Dongfang Yueming’s Departure

Li Yue and Dongfang continued their regular patrols, with her admiration increasingly apparent. Their closeness further inflamed Zhang Meng’s jealousy, prompting him to contact Scorpion about attacking Dongfang 23.

When Dongfang returned his uniform and token and resigned, Li Yue was shocked. She watched him leave with reluctance and conflicting emotions, unable to find the words to stop him 38.

Appearance

• Described as a pretty woman with almond-shaped eyes 9 10.
• Blushes visibly during affectionate moments with Dongfang Yueming, including after kissing his cheek 13 21.

Personality

Li Yue is playful and openly appreciative of Dongfang’s looks, initially treating his newcomer test as entertainment. Her amusement disappears when she realizes the danger is genuine, although she struggles to decide whether to break the test’s rules and intervene 9 10.

She is perceptive about others’ motives: Zhang Meng’s staged rescue exposes his likely involvement in the altered test, while the leopard ambush raises her suspicions without giving her enough evidence to accuse him openly 11 21.

Her growing affection for Dongfang makes her warm and unusually forward. She nevertheless recognizes that his battlefield rewards belong to him, returning the 40 contribution points before expressing her gratitude with a kiss 21.
