Background / History

Xiao Nan came to the Primordial World approximately 260,000 years ago, making her neither a local nor a Chosen One. Around 200 years later, she witnessed the first generation of Chosen Ones, the Green Star People. Their strongest member reached level 49 and was immediately devoured by the Creator God, instilling in her a lasting fear of exposing her own strength. 706

Over the next 100,000 years, Xiao Nan gradually reached level 47. During that era, she was known as Tang Qiqi and was powerful enough that Tang Kang—the level 47 founder of the Tang family—served as her follower. The Tang family's gray heirloom stone was left as proof of her eventual return. 433 706 707

Soyana later sealed Xiao Nan in a Pet Egg beneath a volcano in the Divine Pet Land for more than 100,000 years. Xiao Nan retained fragmented memories of being killed and sealed by Soyana, while portions of her power essence were scattered throughout the world. 268 284 403

After awakening as a Zombie Doll, she was found by Nan Feng, who named her Xiao Nan. Although she recovered memories of Tang Qiqi, she rejects being defined by that past identity: her memories and bonds as Xiao Nan are the life she considers her own. 248 707 781

Appearance

Xiao Nan first appears as a small, childlike Zombie Doll. Absorbing life essence causes her body to grow; she initially reaches Nan Feng's knee, later grows to over 1.4 meters tall, and is described as resembling a girl around ten years old. 250 486 786

• Often barefoot in combat. 530
• Has chubby hands and a childish voice during her early Zombie Doll period. 262
• Her fingernails can extend roughly ten centimeters when using corpse poison. 248
• Later develops a graceful, fairy-like bearing while retaining her playful habits. 834

Personality

Xiao Nan is mischievous, childish, and fond of teasing Nan Feng. She is particularly enthusiastic about milk tea, exploding apples, and making Nan Feng handle difficult errands for her. 577 811 870

Despite her immaturity and occasional arrogance, she is fiercely protective of South City and of the people she considers family. She risks herself to restrain a monster for Nan Feng, intervenes to shield Xiao Luo from Soyana, and refuses to let her past identity erase who she has become. 265 781

Her long life has also made her cautious. She understands the Creator God's habit of devouring level 49 beings and deliberately avoids recklessly restoring her full peak power. 706

Abilities & Skills

Undying

Xiao Nan possesses an immortal or revival-oriented constitution.

• Evaporates Moonlit Water Spirits at South City's East Gate, producing a rainbow outside the city. 327
