Background / History

Xiao Wu entered human society shortly after undergoing Humanoid Transformation and met Lin Qi at Nuoding Academy. Though Lin Qi initially treated her with indifference, she persistently tried to befriend him and wanted to live with him in the Bamboo Forest Cabin rather than the Work-Study Dormitory. Lin Qi made her his second binding object through the Background Suppression System 8.

Lin Qi and Master Meng quickly exposed her true nature as a transformed Soul Beast. Terrified that she would be hunted for a Soul Ring, Xiao Wu was relieved when Lin Qi instead assigned her household duties and had Master Meng teach her to cook 10. She gradually accepted being designated Lin Qi's Reserve Soul Ring, resolving to be useful enough that he would never need to absorb her 13.

During the Soul Hunting Forest expedition, Xiao Wu's Soft Skill and racial talents were criticized by Master Meng for their flaws. Her use of those talents nevertheless triggered a system reward for Lin Qi, producing the Fortune Fist Technique and Mountain River Sword Dao. Lin Qi subsequently defeated her repeatedly with the newly gained fist technique, leaving her questioning her own ability as a Soft Bone Rabbit 15 16.

Returning to the Star Dou Great Forest changed Xiao Wu's understanding of Lin Qi. She witnessed powerful Soul Beasts acknowledge him as their ruler and concluded that he was the successor of the Ancient Beast God, explaining why Soul Beasts accepted him so readily 28 29. She formally accepted her lower status and began addressing him as “Master” 32.

Lin Qi gave Xiao Wu an External Soul Bone from the Five-Colored Star Butterfly after she agreed to call him Master. She refined it into colorful Butterfly Wings that allowed her to fly 33 34. She later traveled with Lin Qi to Heavenly Dou Empire City, where she became publicly established as his maid while remaining wary of exposing her Soul Beast identity 40 45.

After training under Master Meng, Xiao Wu's combat strength rose considerably. She fought alongside Lin Qi in Soul Fighting Arena matches, bullied Ning Rongrong during their victory over Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong, and later defeated Ma Hongjun after he harassed her 54 55 79.

Xiao Wu became increasingly protective of her position beside Lin Qi after Xiao Qiu joined the group. She treated the younger transformed Soul Beast as a rival, competing with her for Lin Qi's attention, errands, and the honor of retrieving Spirit Bones 117 118 151.

When Di Tian sought a guide to Great Li City, Xiao Wu outwardly acted as a loyal Soul Beast while covertly trying to deter him from threatening Lin Qi's empire. She exaggerated Great Li City's strength to make Di Tian wary and regarded preventing damage to the city as an opportunity to earn merit from Lin Qi 211.

After Di Tian's defeat, Xiao Wu returned to the Dragon Clan and allowed the Silver Dragon King to use her body to investigate the human world. Resentful of this control, she planned to mislead the dragon among humans. Lin Qi later sealed the Silver Dragon King's consciousness inside Xiao Wu's Sea of Consciousness, enabling Xiao Wu to reverse their power dynamic and attack the trapped consciousness with a Mental Whip 218 222 223.

Personality

Xiao Wu is outgoing, chatty, and unusually eager to win Lin Qi's attention. She repeatedly tries to speak with him despite his indifference, and she quickly becomes attached to his Bamboo Forest Cabin and later to her role at his side 8.

She is proud of being a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and easily frustrated when Lin Qi outperforms her. Her jealousy is especially apparent when Soul Beasts accept Lin Qi but attack her, when she falls behind his cultivation, and when Xiao Qiu threatens her unique place in the group 15 24 117.

Despite her complaints, Xiao Wu is pragmatic and ambitious. She accepts the humiliating title of Reserve Soul Ring, calls Lin Qi “Master” to obtain an External Soul Bone, and makes strategic efforts to earn merit through her dealings with Di Tian 32 33 211. She is also sharp-tongued and vindictive toward those she dislikes, including Tang Hao, the Silver Dragon King, and Qian Renxue 61 223 239.
