Chapter 329

**Ye Lanlan** is the cousin of Ye Yan, and a Nightwatcher from the Southern Family. A Nightwatcher with the ability to control seven Demon Flags, she possessed talent and effort on par with her cousin.

Due to her actions, she was the primary antagonist of the Ye Lanlan Arc before becoming a supporting character upon the relevation at the end of the story arc.

## Background

Ye Lanlan was born in the Southern main family of the Nightwatchers. One day when she was 4 years old, she went mountain climbing with other children in the clan in hopes of watching the sunrise from the top of the mountain. However, halfway up the mountain, she became too fatigued to continue climbing and was left behind by others. As she sat on the stairs crying, a 6-year old Ye Yan returned for her and offered to carry her to the top, which she accepted. As they climbed the stairs, Ye Lanlan promised to marry her older cousin in the future, with the latter agreeing to the promise.

Considered a weakling since she was young, Ye Lanlan trained extremely hard and eventually was able to control up to seven Demon Flags at the Demon Flag Awakening Ceremony. However, Ye Yan controlled up to eight and was nominated by the Northern and Southern main branch families as the new guardian to join the Department of Night in Xiahou High School. Resolving to outshine her cousin, Ye Lanlan physically trained herself even more and learnt the art of hypnotism, which she combined with Chi Shock to create Instant Chi Shock. At some point in her life, she formed a summoning pact with Lady Seashell to counter Ye Yan's Hundun, as well as captured twenty one extremely strong Cyclopes. However, her feats were still constantly outshone by her cousin's, Three from Sun seized her lack of self esteem and offered her the chance to join Sun and kill Ye Yan, but she declined and beated him up for attempting to instigate her relationship with Ye Yan.

About a month before her appearance, she was diagnosed with cancer and the doctor claimed she will start growing weaker after a month. Wishing to see the difference between her and Ye Yan, as well as examine his strength before she starts weakening, she reluctantly joined Sun and was able to join the Department of Night.

## Personality

Ye Lanlan initially seems manipulative and cunning, as she repeatedly worsened Ye Yan's relationship with other members in the Department of Night through the use of hypnosis, misunderstandings and bribery, attempting to replace his position as the Nightwatcher guardian. This was all revealed to be an act, in reality she cared deeply for her older cousin, as she infiltrated Sun as an undercover not only to have the chance to duel with him, but also to investigate the organization and eventually provide intel to him after their duel.

Ye Lanlan lacks self-esteem after being constantly outshone by her older cousin Ye Yan for most of her life, which causes her to overestimate him, especially during combat where she would find every strategy to counter Ye Yan's strategies. Ye Yan points this out after their duel, and believes that if she was a bit more confident in herself, she would have won the duel.

Due to training her entire life and being secluded from society, Ye Lanlan lacks common knowledge, as shown when she believed cancer to be absolutely incurable after watching Korean dramas, when in reality her cancer could be cured if she informed her family earlier. Watching drama shows also made her dramatic, as shown when she revealed her plans for her "dramatic death" after fighting Ye Yan.

She also likes to tease Ye Yan and Huang Xiaoyan about their relationship, constantly hinting that the two of them are a couple, which flusters both of them a lot.

## Appearance

Ye Lanlan is a young girl with turquoise eyes and a mature physique. She had long white hair with a single braid of hair on the left of her head, though her hair is presumably lost after going through radiation therapy to treat her cancer. She wore a white dress, white stockings and her red Demon Flag Scarf for most her appearances. She temporarily wore the Xiahou female student uniform while she was attending the high school as a student.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: Ye Lanlan was the most talented Nightwatcher of the new generation from the Southern main family, as she controlled seven Demon Flags, a feat that is almost impossible to achieve. She is physically strong, as she was able to easily throw a large man over her shoulder. She also learnt hypnosis, which she combined with Spirit Shock to create Instant Spirit Shock, a technique no Nightwatcher has ever achieved throughout history.

### Techniques

**Summoned Beast** (召唤兽 *Zhào Huàn Shòu*): A few Nightwatchers throughout history have searched for and formed contracts with creatures to serve as their summoned beast. Once the contract is formed, the Nightwatcher can summon the creature by shouting their name or the command "**Summon**" (召唤 *Zhào Huàn*). Once summoned, the summoned beast's existence is maintained by expending the summoner's stamina. If the beast were to sustain damage or exert its power, the depletion will be intensified. Once the summoner's stamina is completely depleted, the summoned beast will disappear. If the user wishes to continue maintaining the summoned beast even after they have no more stamina, they must sacrifice their vitality in exchange. In Ye Lanlan's case, her summoned creature is Lady Seashell.
**Spirit Shock** (元气震 *Yuán Qì Zhèn*): After accumulating enough negative emotions from experiencing grievances, a Nightwatcher can release the stored energy into their vicinity, indiscriminately knocking creatures around them unconscious before falling unconscious themselves shortly afterwards, though they will usually wake up before the others due to a temporary boost in resistance. While using this technique and before fainting, the Nightwatcher's eyes will glow. The time a person is rendered unconscious depends on the degree of their strength in comparison to the user's and their stamina: people established to be powerful and strong-willed fall unconscious for considerably less time than the weak-willed, but may faint for longer if they were exhausted beforehand. This technique cannot affect organisms that were unconscious before it was used, on organisms that were alertly focused on the user, or Flag Demons that are inside Demon Flags.

**Instant Spirit Shock** (瞬发元气震 *Shùn Fā Yuán Qì Zhèn*): By controlling her negative emotions through self-hypnotism, Ye Lanlan can bypass the necessary emotional requirement for Spirit Shock, allowing her to use it at will. While this improved technique doesn't negate the limitations or side effects, Ye Lanlan is capable of circumventing the alertness weakness by physically touching her opponent and hypnotising them to make them lose their focus.

## Equipment

**Soul Gong** (镇魂锣 *Zhèn Hún Luó*): A main family Nightwatcher exclusive magical tool. If struck by the Soul Mallet, it produces a sound that renders anyone within close proximity to the gong unconscious, or temporarily immobilizes anyone who heard the sound other than Nightwatchers, who have certain levels of immunity to its effects. However, if repeatedly struck within a short timeframe, the immunity will start to weaken and eventually the Nightwatcher themselves will be affected by the sound, showing signs such as extreme fatigue and nose bleeding. Even if they are shattered, Soul Gongs can still produce the immobilizing sound if the pieces are taped back together and can be repaired through unknown methods. The immobilizing effect only works on the receivers' bodies, therefore it can not stop someone from mentally controlling or summoning a weapon.
**Demon Flags** (煌妖幡 *Huáng Yāo Fān*): A Nightwatcher exclusive magic tool. It is used to capture monsters by atomizing their bodies into green fog along with their soul and enslave them as Flag Demons for eternity, courtesy of the numerous magic formulae programmed into them. Flag Demons are capable of making themselves invisible and intangible by turning themselves into green smoke, or solidify themselves to physically attack. Nightwatchers are also able to telepathically communicate with their Flag Demons within a few hundred meters. Nightwatchers can also telekinetically moving Demon Flags within a few dozen meters of themselves, which allows them to hide their flags around the battlefield for sneak attacks with their Flag Demons. Main family Nightwatchers possess purer bloodlines and are thus usually able to control multiple Demon Flags.The Nightwatcher clan falsely claims that a Nightwatcher who can control four or more Demon Flags is able to store at most three Flag Demons in one flag. In reality, the number of Flag Demons a Nightwatcher can have exponentially increases depending on the number of Demon Flags they control. A four-Flag Nightwatcher can have eight Flag Demons, five can have sixteen, etc..Ye Lanlan wove her seven Demon Flags into a scarf and dyed it red, disguising it as a normal scarf.
