Background / History

Xiao Xi meets Zhou Lu as the Knowledge Fairy assigned to guide him in cultivating Huohuo. Although Huohuo attacks her repeatedly during their first encounters, she admires its spirit and explains the long-term potential of Dream Rain Flowers and plant-type Spirit Beasts 3 5.

She later becomes Zhou Lu's next-door neighbor after leaving an uninhabitable room contaminated by the smell of a Seedling Cultivation Department professor's natural-method research 10. Her proximity makes her Zhou Lu's primary source for skill recommendations, training advice, evolution information, and Secret Realm intelligence.

Xiao Xi is a child of the Seeking Dao Wood, whose power can take over her body. When this occurs, her eyes turn golden and the Seeking Dao Wood speaks through her directly 195. She can also use the Seeking Dao Wood's power to teleport between Knowledge Fairies, though this requires her mother's permission 196.

Following the Seeking Dao Wood's death, its ghost chooses Xiao Xi as successor. The original database survives through a backup stored in Huohuo's servers, allowing Xiao Xi to eventually restore the Knowledge Fairy system 319.

Appearance

Xiao Xi is a tiny winged fairy with a deliberately cute humanoid appearance. Her usual clothing is formed from mimicked leaves of the Seeking Dao Wood.

• Small enough to sit on Zhou Lu's shoulder or be held in a person's palm 5 44
• Possesses wings and can fly swiftly to evade Huohuo's vines 10
• Commonly wears black stockings 234
• Her clothing is made from Seeking Dao Wood leaves, which can nourish plant-type Spirit Beasts and provide a slight attribute increase 20
• Her eyes become golden when the Seeking Dao Wood possesses her body 195

Personality

Xiao Xi is proud of the value of her knowledge and habitually charges Fairy Coins for consultations, information, and training methods. She bluntly calls Zhou Lu stingy or a freeloader when he tries to obtain her services without paying 10 96.

Despite her mercenary presentation, she is consistently helpful. She voluntarily trains Huohuo, provides free clues even while insisting that her services are paid, and quickly shares urgent Secret Realm intelligence with Zhou Lu 21 29 86.

She is playful, sarcastic, and easily flustered by Huohuo's pranks, but she also takes Spirit Pet welfare seriously. She disapproves of Beast Tamers harming their Spirit Pets and helps Zhou Lu consider legal and Nursing Team options when he encounters abuse 115.

Abilities & Skills

Knowledge Exchange

Xiao Xi provides information on Spirit Beasts, skills, evolution paths, Secret Realms, and historical subjects in exchange for Fairy Coins.

• Explains skill prerequisites, tactical applications, and training methods 10
• Can identify or infer rare Spirit Beast-related information from Zhou Lu's actions and purchases 86
• Tracks Skill Cards through their serial numbers and can identify suspicious cards, including possible “Skill Cards from the Future” 70
• Cannot repeatedly exchange the same knowledge for Fairy Coins; exploitative transaction requests can trigger limits or blacklisting 168
• Withholds some information about Immortals when she believes Zhou Lu lacks the strength to safely handle it 121

Skill Card Services

Xiao Xi maintains access to skill-card information and exchanges Fairy Coins for skills.

• Provides skill cards suited to a Spirit Pet's species, stage, and intended combat role 5 10 96
• Can recycle Skill Cards into Fairy Coins 70
• States that trained skills are stronger than general skills obtained directly from cards 10
• Recognizes when a newly developed skill, such as Huohuo's Branch Parasitism, could potentially be made into a Skill Card through special methods 171
• After becoming the new Seeking Dao Wood, she proposes using Wu Xiaoqing's skill-copying mushrooms to create new Skill Cards while normal card redemption remains unavailable 319

Secret Realm Intelligence

Xiao Xi gathers and analyzes current exploration reports, often providing Zhou Lu with time-sensitive opportunities.

• Identified evidence suggesting Manifest Dream Stone deposits in the Extreme Ice Land and rewarded Zhou Lu for the discovery 78
• Warned Zhou Lu that Secret Realm classifications are human assessments and may change when powerful Spirit Beasts are discovered 86
• Informed Zhou Lu about the Great Thunder Sound Sparrow sighting before the Thunder Mountain Secret Realm was officially closed 86
• Provides hidden locations suitable for Huohuo's evolution while helping Zhou Lu avoid exposing Huohuo's true identity 200
• Warned Zhou Lu that the sea-island Secret Realm C1101 was suffering a beast plague 223

Seeking Dao Wood Connection

Xiao Xi can access limited powers of the Seeking Dao Wood.

• Serves as a vessel when the Seeking Dao Wood takes control of her body 195
• Teleports between Knowledge Fairies using the Seeking Dao Wood's power, subject to permission 196
• Can perform minor bodily checks, such as examining Zhou Lu after the Blood Corpse incident 222
• Is expected to inherit the Seeking Dao Wood's database and institutional role after its death 319

Relationships

• Zhou Lu — Neighbor, client, and long-term partner in information gathering. Their relationship develops from paid consultations and banter into mutual trust and cooperation 3 86 200.
• Huohuo — Frequent tormentor and fellow plant-type Spirit Beast. Huohuo repeatedly restrains, swings, or traps Xiao Xi, though the two later interact more amicably 5 98 293.
• Seeking Dao Wood — Her mother and source of power. The Seeking Dao Wood can inhabit Xiao Xi's body and later names her as successor 195 319.
• Wu Xiaoqing — Friend and collaborator. Xiao Xi discusses research findings, Immortal auras, and unusual mushrooms with her 70 78.
• Phoenix Wood — An old acquaintance of the Seeking Dao Wood; Xiao Xi assists in relocating it to the Veterans' Hospital after its awakening 195 196.
• Benben — Advises Zhou Lu on skills appropriate for the Nine Tribulations Candle Dragon egg and playfully interacts with it 96 110.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Huohuo's Early Cultivation

Xiao Xi introduces Zhou Lu to the basics of plant Spirit Beast development. She recommends Huohuo's foundational skills and later helps train it, despite repeatedly being targeted by its protective vines 3 5 10 21.

Information Broker and Adviser

As Zhou Lu begins exploring Secret Realms and pursuing Huohuo's unusual evolution route, Xiao Xi becomes his principal source for cultivation information. She advises on Body Feed, rare evolution materials, Ghost Stones, Spirit Pet coordination, and skill-card trading 19 44 121.

Immortal Investigations

Xiao Xi gradually recognizes Zhou Lu's connections to extinct Spirit Beasts and Immortals. She warns him not to abuse Knowledge Fairy loopholes, confirms that a Nine Lives Immortal Grass was the only non-human known to achieve immortality, and helps him assess threats surrounding Huohuo 168 222 223.

Seeking Dao Wood Succession

When the Seeking Dao Wood dies after being consumed by the Dream Rain Flower Immortal, Xiao Xi is selected as its successor. With the old system's data backed up in Huohuo, she prepares to preserve and rebuild the Knowledge Fairy system 319.

Trivia

• Xiao Xi insists that every word she says has value and therefore deserves payment 10.
• She often claims to charge for services but sometimes gives Zhou Lu useful clues or training assistance for free 21 29.
• Her personal leaf-clothes are valuable nourishment for plant-type Spirit Beasts, explaining Huohuo's fixation on them 20.
• She has completed her annual tasks early enough to complain that her position does not permit proper vacations 171.
• Knowledge Fairies cannot normally sprout until the Seeking Dao Wood dies and one successor inherits its power; Xiao Xi's repeated claims about wanting to sprout were likely attempts to obtain subsidies 264.
