Background / History

Xiao Wu spent a hundred thousand years as a Soft Bone Rabbit and witnessed soul beasts being hunted for cultivation resources. Drawn by the scent of the immortal herb Lovesick Heartbreak Red, she followed its trace to the Otherworld Auction House, where Lin Yue recognized her true nature but did not expose it. 16

Inside the auction house, Xiao Wu was disturbed to find Soft Bone Rabbit Heart Protection Scales and other soul beast remains on display. Lin Yue explained that the house sought trade between humans and soul beasts rather than further hunting, offering resources such as aura-concealing talismans, pills, and protected zones in exchange for legitimate materials or information. 16

Lin Yue invited her to join the planned Soul Beast Resource Exchange Section, offering information on soul beast protection and potential clues to Lovesick Heartbreak Red, along with 10,000 monthly points. Xiao Wu initially hesitated because revealing her identity could endanger both herself and her kin, but chose to stay after deciding that greater strength could help her protect more people. 16 17

By the auction house's fourth entrance event, Xiao Wu had become a composed employee, handling registration alongside Ning Rongrong while wearing the auction house uniform and token. 41

Appearance

Xiao Wu is associated with pink clothing and pale-pink Battle Qi. She has brown hair, often worn in a ponytail, and can manifest a faint rabbit-ear-shaped Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul above her head. 16 41 142 173

• Brown hair with strands falling near her ears; later depicted with a ponytail. 16 142
• Rabbit-ear-shaped Martial Soul, faintly visible when manifested. 16
• Pale pink dresses and skirts are her usual attire. 173 180
• Wore a light-blue Otherworld Auction House employee uniform with a silver belt and auction token while on duty. 41

Personality

Xiao Wu is kind-hearted and deeply protective of soul beasts, especially her kin in the Star Dou Great Forest. Her concern for fair exchange led her to question how the auction house would identify malicious soul masters and ensure soul beasts received reasonable compensation. 16 17

She is determined to become self-reliant. The emergence of Battle Qi and Combat Skills shifts her focus from relying on Tang San's protection to pursuing personal strength, mobility, and the ability to protect others herself. 34 36 174

Her drive for power can make her single-minded. During the interdimensional-rift crisis, she prioritizes obtaining a Battle Qi cultivation method and seeks Lin Yue's protection rather than accepting Tang San's promise to die beside her. 112 115 117 Over time, she consciously severs her former emotional dependence on Tang San and commits to her own path. 174 180 182
