Background / History
Xiao Wu is a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast whose true identity is immediately recognized by Xiao Yan. At the time, she has just obtained enrollment credentials and is wary of Li Tianlan's attention. After he promises to protect her, she agrees to cultivate alongside him. 2
Having only recently arrived in Nuoding City and lacking a place to live, Xiao Wu accepts Li Tianlan's invitation to stay at his home. Their shared meals, conversations, and cultivation establish a close bond before she leaves for Nuoding Academy as a work-study student. 3 4
When Li Tianlan leaves Nuoding City to cultivate, Xiao Wu worries for his safety, promises to wait for him, and later writes that she has moved into a private dormitory and avoided close contact with boys as requested. 6 13
The Earth Fire Dragon King later targets Xiao Wu to improve its evolution by consuming her. Although Da Ming and Er Ming fear that Li Tianlan may covet her soul ring or soul bone, Xiao Wu insists that he has always known her identity and never tried to harm her. 99 107
Li Tianlan eventually provides Xiao Wu with pills and medicinal preparations to improve her constitution and conceal her soul beast aura. The Breath Concealing Pill prevents even Dugu Bo from identifying her as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. 119 126 127
