Background
Xiao Xian was originally an unsuccessful web-novel writer on Earth. While attempting a daily website check-in late at night, he received the Multiverse Sign-In System. 2
In the Dou Qi Continent, he joined the Xiao Clan as a guest elder despite having no blood relation to the clan. The clan granted him the entire Back Mountain, paid his stipend, and generally relied on him only for problems beyond its ability to handle. 6 9 He also brought the young Xiao Xun'er into the Xiao Clan, where she later grew up alongside Xiao Yan. 6
After reaching the Dou Emperor realm, Xiao Xian spent five years plundering and overpowering Ancient Sects across the continent. He accumulated enough loot to nearly fill a Small World obtained through check-in before retiring to the Xiao Clan's Back Mountain. 3 There, he became a source of support for Xiao Yan during the latter's collapse from genius status and gave him a mysterious stone with concealed value. 1 4
Appearance
Xiao Xian has an exceptionally youthful, refined appearance that does not match his age. Though nearly forty during his early Dou Qi Continent life, he retained the vitality and looks of a much younger man. 1 17 60
- Flowing long hair during his time in the Xiao Clan. 1
- Often wears white or ornate ancient-style robes. 41 224
- Possesses an ethereal, otherworldly bearing that makes onlookers compare him to an immortal or historical-drama actor. 221 224
- Frequently conceals his aura, allowing him to appear outwardly ordinary aside from his appearance. 96
- Can alter his appearance and clothing to evade pursuit. 240
Personality
Xiao Xian is habitually lazy, indulgent, and narcissistic. After retiring to the Back Mountain, he spent most days eating, drinking, sleeping, and performing only his required daily check-ins. 3 He openly boasts about his appearance and frequently teases those around him, particularly Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er. 1 3
His easygoing conduct disappears when his authority, companions, or interests are threatened. He is manipulative enough to coerce Medusa into pursuing Xiao Yan in exchange for the Snake-People Tribe's survival, and he annihilated the Li Family after Bei Weiwei was abducted and tortured. 54 245 He also has little patience for arrogance, greed, or disrespect from people he considers weak. 42 71
Despite this ruthlessness, Xiao Xian selectively protects people he accepts as his own. He encouraged Xiao Yan at his lowest point, safeguarded Hong Yi against Hong Xuanji, rescued Bei Weiwei, and invested heavily in Hong Yi's education and future. 1 123 129 245
