Background / History

Su Hao acquired Little Cai as a Five-Colored Spirit Snake that was originally intended for Lin Ziyi. Recognizing her 5% Dragon Bloodline, he named her, released her from her cage, and began raising her in his cave dwelling. She quickly grew accustomed to living in his medicine field, where she stole Nine-Colored Leaves and absorbed the abundant spiritual energy. 66

As her intelligence developed, Little Cai became responsible for the herb garden and began studying herbal medicine and pill recipes. She used the Spirit Spring Technique to tend spiritual herbs, accidentally cultivated mutated herbs, and eventually refined pills alongside Little Gold. 87 94 121

Dragon Blood Dao Pills raised her bloodline to 30%, transforming her from a spirit snake into a Five-Colored Flood Dragon. A later breakthrough brought her to 49.99% Dragon Bloodline and revealed the Dragon Marsh Incense Divine Ability, which offered an alternate path toward becoming a true dragon through merit and good deeds. 106 144

Little Cai and Little Gold traveled through mortal kingdoms to fight plagues, bandits, demons, and evil cultivators. Their relief work established faith in the White Dragon Empress and Golden Dragon Empress, generating the wish power Little Cai needed for her Incense God Path cultivation. 146 148 180

After receiving the Dragon Transformation Fortune Pill, Little Cai faced a bloodline tribulation intended to prevent her ascension. Su Hao weakened the tribulation with Calamity Crossing Dao Pills, while Little Gold merged her power with Little Cai's to help her endure it. Little Cai emerged as a Five-Colored True Dragon. 178 179

Appearance

Little Cai's appearance changed repeatedly with her bloodline and cultivation. She prefers human form and later develops a mature, elegant presence, though her mannerisms often remain playful and uninhibited. 106 144

• Initially appeared as a timid Five-Colored Spirit Snake. 66
• Her first humanoid form had a human body, a small cobra-like snake head, and lively red eyes. 87
• After reaching 30% Dragon Bloodline, she achieved a complete human form with cold-white skin, delicate features, long narrow eyes, and simply tied hair. 106
• Her later Flood Dragon transformation gave her a white crystal horn on her forehead. 144
• She can assume the body of a Five-Colored True Dragon after surviving her transformation tribulation. 179

Personality

Little Cai is curious, carefree, and strongly attached to Su Hao. Her early fearfulness gave way to confidence as she gained intelligence, cultivation, and a human form; however, she remains prone to acting spoiled around him and eagerly seeking his attention or approval. 66 87 106

She is compassionate toward mortals and treats disaster relief as both a duty and a source of cultivation. Her work across multiple kingdoms reflects a sincere desire to prevent suffering, even while she recognizes that the resulting faith and wish power strengthen her. 144 148 180

Despite her growing power, Little Cai is conscious of threats from the Dragon Clan and repeatedly worries more about Su Hao's safety than her own advancement. She regards remaining at his side as more important than becoming stronger. 181 379
