- Even though time has already elapsed for so long now, every time I'm by her side, I always have the illusion that I'm still a little fox... Maybe because Yukong-jiejie's gaze is even more loving.
- —Feixiao's voiceline about Yukong.
Feikong is the femslash ship between Feixiao and Yukong from the Honkai: Star Rail fandom.
Canon[]
Feixiao and Yukong are both influential and well-known figures currently residing aboard the Xianzhou, who happen to be close friends who share an intimate relationship and history with one another. They were formerly battle comrades when they fought side by side together in the Third Abundance War 30 years ago, but Yukong was left so badly traumatized she retired and became the Helm Master of the Xianzhou Luofu's Sky Faring Commission, with Feixiao going on to become the General of the Xianzhou Yaoqing. They first interact on screen in "By Words Of Many" when Feixiao has come to Xianzhou by Marshal Hua's orders and they reunite with one another at Aurum Alley.
Finest Duel Under The Pristine Blue (I)[]
After informing Jiaoqiu and Moze that she intends to go and meet with an old friend, Feixiao leaves them behind to go to Aurum Alley to wait for Yukong to arrive so they can meet one another. Yukong approaches Feixiao, teasingly remarking that if she can make Feixiao wait for her for this long she must have earned sufficient face, and that it had been a while. Feixiao steps closer calling Yukong "jiejie" as she remarks that has been almost 30 years since they last saw each other, smiling at her softly. Yukong then comments that 30 years ago Feixiao was the vanguard of the Yaoqing's Verdant Knights whilst she was a pilot of the Luofu's Rainbow Orbit fleet, and now that they see each other again, Feixiao is a general whilst she no longer flies, and it really feels like a lifetime ago, the two both turning to gaze at the sky for a moment.
Yukong goes on to say that actually she can not say she has not seen Feixiao in 30 years, as the Yellowbell Resonance System broadcasts her great victories every day so she is able to see Feixiao's invincible and heroic appearance, asking Feixiao if her health is alright. Feixiao simply states that her condition is stable, then asking Yukong if she remembers the military doctor who saved her in battle, namely Jiaoqiu. Yukong ponders Jiaoqiu's name for a moment, remembering him as the healer with the weird name and temperament, before Feixiao tells her his name, and that he became her retainer and personal healer after he was sent by the Alchemy Commission, and has been trying to cure her "illness", stating that with her background she is satisfied she had made it at least this far.
Yukong states that she feels relieved to know Feixiao is safe and sound, asking if she and Huaiyan came here under Marshal Hua's orders, going on to ask if for their friendship's sake, Feixiao can tell her how the Alliance intends to punish Jing Yuan. Feixiao informs her that the Arbor's rebirth frightened the elders and they are afraid the abominations will resurface, and although the Luofu provided a report explaining the story too many details were missing, like the Ruin Legion's invasion and how The Stellaron Hunters and Astral Express became involved. She goes on to say that Yukong knows how Jingliu returned to Xianzhou, bringing an outsider, Luocha, and Luocha's coffin, stating that she can offer Marshal Hua a method to fight against Aeons, but that the Luofu's Vidyadhara Preceptor had also accused Jing Yuan of disregarding the Alliance and allowing Dan Heng to enter the Luofu which interfered with the Vidyadhara watching her the Ambrosial Arbor, and this is why Feixiao came to the Luofu. Feixiao states that she did not need to explain all that to someone not involved, but since they had once fought side by side together she did not intend to ever hide it from Yukong, hoping that she could forget what she said.
Yukong softly remarks that she understands and was sorry for forgetting her manners, but even though she should not be defending Jing Yuan, Feixiao knows the type of person Yukong is, and that the Luofu would not have been able to enjoy hundreds of years of stability if not for Jing Yuan's role played, but unfortunately for all long life species there is always a failure that destroys all past achievements, a moment enemies wait for. Feixiao agrees, stating she is also here for another purpose, visiting Hoolay, to which Yukong questions if she means the Borisin Warhead who has been imprisoned in the Shackling Prison for over 700 years. Feixiao goes on to list some of Hoolay's verdicts, stating she can not remember all of them but it is the same Hoolay, before Yukong inquires why she wants to visit him at such a critical moment, when the visit to Hoolay has always been once every 100 years. Feixiao reminds Yukong that the Foxians and the Alliance swore to fight the Abominations together to free their kin and achieve the justice that Hoolay should be imprisoned in The Shackling Prison forever and be punished every day, but now because of the Luofu's situation the Yaoqing is worried about Hoolay's imprisonment, so the visit every 100 years is no longer reassuring enough, therefore she was sent here to rest assure them.
Yukong sighs that it is all only bad news, before Feixiao states that it is not only bad news, and things may not be that bad as she has made some progress on what Yukong asked her about, namely finding Tingyun. Yukong's attention is quickly grasped, letting out a small gasp as she urges Feixiao to tell her quickly, to which Feixiao reveals that the Verdant Knights followed the route provided by Yukong and discovered the wreckage of the Whistling Flames ship, but there was no cargo or survivors. Yukong is silent, letting out a small sigh as her expression saddens, however Feixiao states that someone had already been there before they arrived at the crash side. Yukong then asks if it is one of their people or one of the IPC's, but Feixiao states that it is neither, asking Yukong if she knows of Ruan Mei, the scene then coming to an end before a response is shown.
Finest Duel Under The Pristine Blue (II)[]
After Hoolay's escape from the Shackling Prison, Feixiao prepares to hunt down Hoolay with Yanqing and the Trailblazer whilst March and Yunli meet with Huaiyan and Yukong in the Seat Of Divine Foresight. Yukong informs Huaiyan that the Sky Faring Commission has finished preparations, to which Huaiyan states he will represent the consensus between Feixiao and the Divine Foresight. Yukong then inquires about the situation in the Shackling Prison, the four of them then discuss the situation. Huaiyan then turns to Yukong, telling her she does not need to worry about Feixiao as is the one who took on the Wolf Hunt operation, and Yukong very clearly knows Feixiao's strength, but Yukong quickly denies being worried, stating that she is more worried about the Wardance, and she does not doubt Feixiao's capabilities. The topic then turns to the Wardance, with Huaiyan revealing what they should do next in regards to Hoolay, and appointing March to be the ringmaster of the Wardance, then telling Yukong to explain to Yunli and March the next part of the arrangements.
Later on, after rescuing Moze and finding out Hoolay's plan to attack the streets of the Xianzhou, Feixiao splits up with Trailblazer, Moze and Yanqing, and prepares to go to Starskiff Haven to evacuate everyone. Whilst at Exalting Sanctum Feixiao calls Starskiff Haven, where Yukong is currently at, and Yukong informs her that Starskiff Haven is filled with wolf like creatures which are moving at high speed. Feixiao then tells Yukong to hold on as she will be there soon, the scene then changing to play a cutscene of Starskiff Haven under attack whilst Yukong holds back the Borisin, before Feixiao crashes a Starskiff into the Borisin and leaps off, standing in a battle stance whilst Yukong and the Cloud Knights run forward to stand by her side. Yukong remarks that Feixiao came, to which Feixiao says after thirty years they once again fight side by side, remarking that it had been a long time since she last let loose her muscles, before being reminded by Yukong they are still on the Luofu so to hold back her fists and feet.
After clearing out all the Borisin in Starskiff Haven, Feixiao returns to meet up with Yukong to discuss what to do next, informing her that she has cleaned up Starskiff Haven of enemies. Yukong states that the Exalting Sanctum and Aurum Alley are still in tough battles and that she will prepare a Starskiff, but Feixiao states that a long battle will not work in their current situation and they are racing against time to defeat Hoolay's farce. Feixiao comments that Jiaoqiu often hopes she will stop and not take things overly seriously, but now is the time for a "quick victory", telling Yukong to call Exalting Sanctum and tell them if they see a light in the sky to retreat immediately. A cutscene then plays right as Yukong finishes calling the Exalting Sanctum, Feixiao right away asking Yukong to lend Feixiao her bow with Yukong having already tossed it to her before she finished speaking. Feixiao then leaps into the sky, landing on the top of the building as she unleashes her full power, using Yukong's bow to shoot a powerful glowing arrow all the way to Aurum Alley and wiping out all the Borisins there, before Feixiao stops to clutch at her chest as a flash of pain happens from her power overuse.

Fanon[]
Feikong started off as an unpopular ship that a few people mostly shipped for fun due to the two both being Xianzhou Foxians, not actually expecting the two to know each other or have content together. However, after 2.5's release showed a canonical interaction between the two, and it was revealed that they were actually close friends, Feikong quickly gained a large amount of attention and began to rise in popularity. People appreciated the natural chemistry present in their dynamic, and a few even joked about how Feixiao was looking at Yukong with "30 years of yearning".
Majority of the fans of Feikong like to lean into the strong angst potential the ship has and portray them in angst scenarios. Fans find the fact that Yukong has lost all the people in her life, and Feixiao is doomed to die soon and leave Yukong alone doomed and tragic, with that being common in angst of the two. Lots of shippers also interpret Feixiao as having had an unrequited crush on Yukong since they first met, but with Yukong only ever having eyes for Caiyi even after her demise. Some like to take this further in an angst dynamic and imagine that Feixiao had loved Yukong for all this time, yet Yukong would still only be able to think of Caiyi even now. Other shippers like to believe that the two have mutual feelings, or that Yukong is starting to recently realize her feelings for Feixiao, especially furthered by Feixiao's voiceline about Yukong.
Feikong is a popular ship for both Feixiao and Yukong, and is mostly rivaled by Jiaofei and Feisha on Feixiao's side, and Caikong and Tingkong on Yukong's side.
Currently, Feikong have 50+ works on AO3.

Trivia[]
- On Feixiao's Character Introduction, Yukong's Note says "I know you see charging into battle as routine but remember- never take your body for granted."[1]
- In a readable called "Records Of Yellowbell Resonance" made available with the game's release, The Xianzhou Yaoqing frequently sent reports to the Helm Master (Yukong) describing recent victories. In the Year 8098 November report, following a previous report in which Yukong responded they should take the right recuprication measures, The Xianzhou Yaoqing informed Yukong that they were attempting to harness local minerals and resting and recupricating, thanking Yukong for her concern, to which Yukong responded to please speak seriously and professionally when using the Yellowbell system. In the original Chinese text "The Xianzhou Yaoqing" calls Yukong "驭空姐姐" (Yukong-jiejie) which is what Feixiao exclusively refers to Yukong as, meaning the one sending those reports who Yukong was worried about was Feixiao.
- Both Feixiao and Yukong have names that mean "sky". In Yukong's name "驭空" "空" usually means "empty", but can also mean "sky", which it does in Yukong's name, and in Feixiao's name "飞霄" "霄" can be translated to "sky", and in Feixiao's name means "firmament".
- In the version 2.5 trailer "Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue", Feixiao can be seen using Yukong's bow instead of her own usual weapons.
- In the original Chinese text, when speaking to Yukong, Feixiao uses "咱们" to say "we" rather than the commonly used "我们". "咱们" is much more informal than "我们", conveying the intimacy and familiarity in their relationship.
- Feixiao and Yukong's skill sets have similar Techniques that increase their movement speed outside of combat.
