**Xuanli** (玄离, *Xuánlí*) is the tritagonist of Lanxi Zhen. He is an elfin accompanying Laojun and Li Qingning. An extremely adept fighter, he can take on multiple enemies at once with little trouble. Animals have an inexplicable penchant for biting him, even his own dog lackeys. In the movie, it is revealed that Xuanli is one of the very few people in history to possess two spirit realms, another one being Luo Xiaohei.

Nearly every elfin in the present time refers to A-Gen as Xuanli, but A-Gen neither denies nor confirms being him.

## Appearance

Xuanli has sharp purple eyes and shaggy black hair tied into a braid at the base. He has fangs and pointed ears longer than others. He typically wears blue pants with a white inner robe and a black outer robe. He wears golden hoop earrings. Around his neck is a length of red string.

In The Legend of Luo Xiaohei manhua, his true form is revealed to be a big black dog.

## History

Laojun and Xuanli first met each other over 60 years before the start of the manhua. Not much else is known about his past.

## Personality

Xuanli is always ready and looking to fight with anyone. He's more than happy to jump at any chance to combat with both elfins and capable humans alike.

He finds reading and writing to be boring activities, making him illiterate as a result. He also does not bother advancing his cultivation and relies on brute force alone to win fights.

## Abilities

### Fire manipulation

He can create and utilize fire, commonly expelling a column of flames from his mouth. Laojun points that he always uses more power than he actually needs when doing this.

### Fire absorption

He can swallow fire and absorb outside flames into himself. In Episode 9 of the The Legend of Luo Xiaohei, Diting creates a situation to test if A-Gen has the same ability.

## Relationships

### Laojun

Xuanli and Laojun are very close, having known each other for over 60 years before the start of the story. He follows Laojun around and happily serves as a sort of attack dog. They banter with each other frequently and easily. Due to unknown circumstances, Xuanli has left Lanxi Town and they now very rarely see each other.

### Li Qingning

Qingning and Xuanli have similar temperaments and are therefore very close, with Qingning referring to him as Gou-ge (dog brother). Xuanli is incredibly fond of Qingning, even taking reading and writing lessons to understand Qingning's letters to him and sitting through Laojun's lectures to learn to protect her better despite lessons boring him out of his wits.

### Wuxian

Due to being equally matched in strength, Xuanli enjoys sparring with Wuxian and invites him to combat whenever they meet. Wuxian is equally happy to spar with him, and both appreciate seeing each other grow stronger.
