Background / History

Lin Yuan identifies Xiao Wu as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and attempts to seize her for her valuable materials. Tang San defends her despite being injured, while Dean Flander appeals for her safety. 6

After the confrontation, Lin Yuan takes Xiao Wu to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, claims her as his possession, and threatens her against escape. She submits to survive, but remains fearful and searches for opportunities to leave. 8 19

Lin Yuan prevents Xiao Wu from returning to Shrek Academy, makes her clean his room, and later places a restriction on her that prevents her from leaving without his command. 19 65 While held by him, she accompanies the Heaven Dou Battle Team's trip to the Star Dou Forest under explicit warning not to attempt escape. 22

Xiao Wu is briefly reunited with Ning Rongrong in Heaven Dou City and refuses Ning Fengzhi's invitation to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, fearing Lin Yuan's retaliation. Her refusal prompts a hostile reaction from Ning Fengzhi. 45

After placing a soul beast aura on Ye Lingling, which attracts Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, Xiao Wu is imprisoned in a dark secret chamber as punishment. The chamber's energy prevents her from using Soul Power or Soul Skills. 88 89 94 Several days later, she begs Lin Yuan for release and promises obedience; he releases her because he still considers her useful. 94

Lin Yuan later grants Xiao Wu a day to visit Shrek Academy. She reunites with Tang San, but must return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to avoid punishment. 112 114 When Tang Hao tries to take her away, Lin Yuan intervenes and returns her to the academy. 114

Lin Yuan eventually permits Xiao Wu to return to the Star Dou Forest for three months. There she lives in the forest's lake-core area alongside the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. 229 246

Spirit Hall launches an operation to capture Xiao Wu. The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python defend her, and Tang San intervenes against Spirit Hall's forces. 314 315 Xiao Wu does not welcome Tang San's arrival, indicating that their relationship has changed. 316

When Lin Yuan tortures Tang San, Xiao Wu offers her Soul Rings and Soul Bones in exchange for Tang San's life. She asks Da Ming and Er Ming to look after Tang San and chooses to sacrifice herself. 317 Her sacrifice helps Ye Lingling advance; Lin Yuan stabilizes Xiao Wu's soul with Immortal Grade Herbs and restores her human form. However, she retains her memories for only half an hour each day. 318
