Background / History

Origins and Encounter with Ye Xingchen

Xiao Wu was born and raised in the Star Dou Great Forest. Her mother also chose to take human form but was killed by Bibi Dong. Xiao Wu retains vivid memories of the killing and later recognizes her mother's aura in one of Bibi Dong's red Soul Rings 56 150 177.

She arrives in Suotuo City with Tang San, excited by her first visit to a large human city. There, her Soul Beast pressure frightens Ye Xingchen's white tiger mount, Xiao Bai. Ye Xingchen suppresses the pressure with his Heavenly Emperor Cauldron and looks directly toward Xiao Wu, making her suspect that he can see through her human identity 29.

After witnessing his battle with Dai Mubai, she recognizes Xuanwu and white tiger auras associated with the Four Great Divine Beasts. She investigates him at night while wearing a mask, but he pursues and immobilizes her with gravity. His direct reference to her as a Soul Beast confirms that he knows her secret, despite possessing only two Soul Rings 30 31.

Shrek Academy and Romance

At Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu grows closer to Ye Xingchen and befriends Zhu Zhuqing. She tells Tang San that she considers him only an older brother, withdraws from casual physical contact, and asks him to abandon any romantic expectations. When his jealousy leads to another confrontation with Ye Xingchen, she intervenes to reaffirm that boundary 39 43 49.

During the group's trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu is distressed by the hunting of Soul Beasts. Ye Xingchen wins her appreciation by bringing her an injured young beast to help, while Tang San angers her by describing Soul Beasts as creatures born for humans to extract Soul Rings from 56 57.

Deep in the forest, Daming and Erming endorse her choice of Ye Xingchen and ask him to protect her. They seal the area with a barrier containing pollen from the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Flower. Xiao Wu confesses her love and says she does not mind that Ye Xingchen already has a wife. They become intimate under the pollen's influence, and she subsequently advances to Soul Elder 62 63.

Exposure at Spirit City

Living among humans leaves Xiao Wu repeatedly anxious about discovery, particularly after Dugu Bo appears at the academy. The prospect of visiting Spirit Hall is more frightening still: Bibi Dong killed her mother, and Xiao Wu fears facing her despite the protection of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red 108 150 166.

Tang San discovers her identity using his Divine Eye and confronts her at Shrek Academy. Ye Xingchen intervenes, states that he already knows, and orders Tang San away. Tang San later attempts to expose her during the tournament; Xiao Wu condemns him and says she regrets having trusted him as her brother 153 167.

Tang San eventually announces publicly that she is a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. Her teammates shield her, and Ye Xingchen attacks Tang San rather than surrendering her. Spirit Hall also turns its force against Tang San, prompting Tang Hao to intervene. After Tang Hao escapes with his allies, Ye Xingchen asks Bibi Dong to issue a Death Warrant and leave Xiao Wu unharmed 176 177.

Five Years in the Forest

With her identity exposed, Xiao Wu returns to the Star Dou Great Forest to cultivate. Before leaving, she promises to reunite with her friends at Shrek Academy in five years. Ye Xingchen escorts her but declines to stay, explaining that he must continue training to defeat Clear Sky Douluo 178 179.

After five years, Xiao Wu is disappointed that Ye Xingchen has not visited, but remains determined to rejoin and help him. Her departure is interrupted by Clear Sky Sect hunters seeking her hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. While Daming and Erming fight the invading elders, she engages the sect's disciples herself 209 215 216.

The prolonged fight drains her Soul Power and stamina, leaving her surrounded. Ye Xingchen arrives, strikes down the disciples around her, and reunites with her. Xiao Wu agrees to accompany him wherever he goes and declares that she wants to kill Tang San herself 217 218.

Reunion and Sea God Island

Xiao Wu returns to Shrek Academy with Ye Xingchen for the five-year reunion, meeting Dai Mubai and Oscar at the gates 221.

During the later sea voyage, she joins the others in making the disguised Tang San clean up broken dishes while concealing that they recognize him. On Sea God Island, she overtakes him while climbing under the Sea God's Light; her exact step count is not specified 256 279.

Appearance

Xiao Wu is described as a beautiful woman with rabbit ears and a graceful, curvaceous figure 29.

• Rabbit ears: Sensitive to handling; she warns Ye Xingchen that careless touching makes her uncomfortable 63.
• Beast form: A half-human, half-beast appearance with rabbit ears and a rabbit tail, manifested amid red light 179.
• Post-seclusion appearance: Ye Xingchen notices that her appearance has changed dramatically after five years apart, though the passage gives no precise physical changes 217.

Personality

Xiao Wu is lively and curious when exploring human society. On her first visit to Suotuo City, she urges Tang San to keep up with her, and later enjoys browsing jewelry and toys with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing 29 46.

Her compassion for Soul Beasts comes from her own identity and attachment to the forest. She wants to comfort weak young beasts, offers to help an injured one, and criticizes the imbalance between the years Soul Beasts spend cultivating and the speed at which humans kill them for Soul Rings 56 57.

She is direct about romantic boundaries. Rather than accepting Tang San's advances out of obligation, she repeatedly tells him that their relationship is strictly sibling-like. With Ye Xingchen, she is affectionate and openly committed, even after years of separation 43 49 209 218.

Her concern for Soul Beasts does not prevent her from fighting humans who threaten her. She taunts the Clear Sky Sect hunters and initially welcomes the chance to test her cultivation, although their numbers eventually exhaust her 209 216 217.
