Ying Ai's Links
Ai is the leader of her Module (three minor gods who work together). She feels much appreciation for Yinfengs constant way of following her every order and listening to her every word. She considers Yinfeng the one she trusts most. Ai is not one to show affection, but she makes more exceptions in rare moments for Yinfeng than for anyone else. However, she still treats Yinfeng with a professional attitude most of the time. Ai feels that personal relationships are a useless human want, but she understands the importance of them only from a pragmatist's point of view. She has grown used to Yinfeng's constant presence. Ai will protect Yinfeng at all costs, but she knows that Yinfeng can take care of herself, so does not step in to Yinfeng's battles unless she knows that shes in dire trouble. (It always surprises Yinfeng when she finds Ai standing in front of her during a losing battle, since Yinfeng feels that she should be the one to protect Ai and not the other way around.) Ai has told her many times that she has no such duty to do so.
In her Module, Yinfeng is the second-in-command. Yinfeng looks up to Ai and sees her as a role model. She has a strong loyalty towards Ai, as both her leader and her friend. During moments of confusion or weakness, she will always look to Ai for guidance and support. Yinfeng is Ai's biggest advocate. She admires Ai's beauty, strength, intelligence, and leadership. She will be by Ai's side where she goes, if she can. Although Ai is very capable to take care of herself, Yinfeng's actions are almost that of a "body guard" to Ai. It makes Yinfeng happiest when she gets attention from Ai, although she does not show it outwardly. It isn't because she wants to hide her reverence to Ai, it's just because she is the kind of reserved person who doesn't naturally display much emotion. Yinfeng will protect Ai with her life and makes a show of doing so(Although they are immortal, they can still feel pain and be put out of business into a coma for a length of time when comes great bodily harm). Although Yinfeng has a submissive attitude towards Ai, it makes her very proud to know that Ai does not see her as an inferior and considers them equals and close friends. Yinfeng confides everything to Ai and knows Ai returns some of the favor.
Ai is the leader of her Module (three minor gods who work together). However, due to a clash of personalities and rank, she and Lixue are always clashing. However, Ai does not hold any real dislike for Lixue, but may harbor feelings of frustration or irritation. Ai nicknames Lixue the "little wolf" because of this, but may say it with arguable affection. (It pisses Lixue off, though, which Ai finds funny.) Ai may never admit this, but she sometimes finds amusement when they argue about minuscule topics without meaning any real animosity. During the rare better times of their relationship, Ai and Lixue's banter ends up dissolving into comedic back-and-forth). Ai feels happiest when she is with both Yinfeng and Lixue, but ofcourse never mentions this to Lixue who goes AWOL often. (Ai has no qualms against mentioning these kinds of thoughts to the person in question, it just never came up.) Outwardly, the two may argue a lot, but Ai really considers their constant butting head dynamic a somewhat exhilarating part of her life. She also considers Lixue her best dueling partner, and may rarely be the one to initiate asking for such a duel. (She doesn't know that her initiation makes Lixue very happy.)
Lixue has a very strong and independent personality, and due to this along with her lowest rank in her Module of 3, she feels a sense of frustration and misbelonging. She feels that she is equals with Ai, and it greatly frustrates her that she is under Ai's authority. Lixue considers Ai her personal rival (one sided), and constantly disobeys and rebels against her ideology or orders. She also constantly tries to persuade Ai to battle with her. (With this, they duel quite frequently. Lixue considers it one of her favorite pass-times but will never tell Ai.) Since Ai is very stoic, Lixue likes to see how many buttons she can push to cause a reaction out of Ai. (She does not admit she does this out of good fun.) She feels very strongly about Ai, but will not admit any of it is out of care. She considers her rivalry with Ai very real and serious, although deep down she knows that in a situation of life or death, she would ultimately be on Ai's side. Lixue doesn't like to stay around the other two, but when she is gone for too long, she doesn't voice this out loud but she will miss Ai's presence in her life. She also will not voice this, but she is aware that Her Ai make a good team in battle, and she is at her best physical ability when alongside her two sisters. Lixue knows that she has the greatest physical technique and skill out of the three; however, Ai has superior strategy and speed. She knows that if she catches a weak or mentally exhausted Ai, she can overpower her. However, she does not say why she hasn't used this advantage to overthrow Ai's authority yet. During Ai's moments of slight depressive mood, and Lixue wins more of their duels than not, she does not feel the satisfaction that she would expect to feel. In fact she feels angry disappointment and yells at Ai to pick up her game.
