Background / History

Xiao Wu possesses Innate Full Soul Power but is criticized for neglecting cultivation despite carrying a blood feud. When compared with Zhu Zhuqing, she is noted to have held only a two-level advantage despite being older and having greater innate talent. 46

Early Diary revelations make Xiao Wu question the conduct of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, whose behavior she finds increasingly strange upon reflection. 9 She later realizes that Tang San is the person described in Su Ye’s revelations and becomes deeply anxious about remaining near him, particularly after learning that Tang Hao has been watching over Tang San from the shadows. 18

She secretly reveals to Zhu Zhuqing that she is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Believing Tang Hao prevents any escape, Xiao Wu concludes that even being taken by Zhu Zhuqing would be preferable to having Tang San and Tang Hao take her soul ring and soul bone. 90

Her identity later becomes widely exposed through Su Ye’s diary. The revelation makes her a target of interest because transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are exceptionally rare; Xiao Wu is described as the only known surviving one after Ah Yin’s death. 114

Facing the danger posed by her exposed identity, Xiao Wu abandons her earlier resistance to relying on others. She seeks protection, considers becoming Dugu Yan’s follower, and prioritizes becoming strong enough to avenge her mother. 108 She subsequently comes to acknowledge Dugu Yan as her master, finding safety and material benefits in their arrangement. 131 178

Appearance

Xiao Wu is a feminine human-form soul beast whose true body is a Soft Bone Rabbit. 108

• Her Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation makes her capable of yielding a soul ring and soul bone valuable enough to tempt powerful soul masters. 90 108
• Has a “little face” and is capable of adopting a harmless, pleading expression when seeking Dugu Yan’s protection. 108
• Uses bright smiles, teary-eyed vulnerability, and apparent submissiveness to influence Tang San. 115

Personality

Early on, Xiao Wu is portrayed as inattentive to cultivation and overly reliant on force when facing problems. Su Ye characterizes her as impulsive and unreliable, claiming that she easily forgets long-term concerns. 46 172

After learning more about Tang Hao and Tang San’s possible designs on her, she becomes markedly more cautious, survival-minded, and calculating. Rather than openly confronting Tang San, she suppresses her disgust and deliberately plays along with his affection to gain useful knowledge and resources. 108 115

Her concern for her mother’s death remains a major motivation. When granted an opportunity to ask Su Ye a question, she considers asking about her mother’s resurrection, but chooses restraint after considering the political danger of doing so. 131

Xiao Wu is also capable of genuine loyalty and concern toward those she considers allies. She offers to help Liu Erlong vent her anger against Yu Xiaogang and supports Liu Erlong after the latter recognizes Yu Xiaogang’s true nature. 262

Story Role / Major Arcs

Growing Distance from Tang San

Xiao Wu becomes upset when Su Ye favorably compares Dugu Yan’s cooking to hers, then lashes out at Tang San. Her distance causes Tang San jealousy and suspicion that she may care for someone else. 50 74

She later rejects Tang San at a hotel and maintains a cold, distant attitude despite his growing attachment. 97

When Tang San attempts to attack Su Ye, Xiao Wu intervenes and harshly rebukes him. Her visible disappointment helps force Tang San to fulfill his bet with Su Ye rather than evade it. 101

Identity Exposure and Search for Protection

Xiao Wu tells Zhu Zhuqing that she is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, revealing both her fear of Tang Hao and her distrust of Tang San’s intentions. 90

After Su Ye publicly confirms her identity, Xiao Wu confronts the danger of becoming prey for powerful soul masters. She seeks advice from Zhu Zhuqing and attempts to secure Dugu Yan’s protection rather than risk being killed for a soul ring. 108 114

Dugu Yan initially chooses to observe Xiao Wu before accepting her. Xiao Wu subsequently subordinates herself to Dugu Yan, calls her “Master,” and benefits from the protection this relationship provides. 108 131 178

Manipulating Tang San

Xiao Wu begins pretending to be vulnerable and obedient toward Tang San after learning of the danger surrounding her. She uses Ning Rongrong’s “tea way” notes to refine this approach. 115

Her performance successfully persuades Tang San to teach her hidden weapons and throwing methods. With Su Ye’s backing, she continues pursuing access to the Tang Sect’s most valuable techniques. 115 116

Tang San later gives Xiao Wu a secret manual, believing her to be uniquely trustworthy. Xiao Wu immediately intends to share the teachings with her allies, demonstrating that her “dog training” of Tang San has succeeded. 128

Learning of Her Future

Su Ye reveals that Xiao Wu’s eventual godhood is tied to becoming the Asura Sword Sheath, rather than a normal path available to soul beasts. Xiao Wu is upset by the implication that Tang San’s intentions were not as benevolent as she believed. 122

Later revelations raise the possibility that her future attitude toward soul beasts results from brainwashing or alteration of her personality. Xiao Wu and Hu Liena suspect Tang San and the Asura God are responsible. 123

Xiao Wu’s hatred of Tang San intensifies upon learning of his future actions toward their daughter. 136 Further revelations suggest that Tang San repeatedly uses her sacrificed soul ring’s abilities despite Daming’s warning that doing so could damage her soul. 192

Su Ye also reveals that Xiao Wu and Tang San will have a future son, Tang Wulin, whose relationship with the Silver Dragon King will dramatically alter Xiao Wu’s perceived seniority within the soul beast race. 171

Self-Condensed Soul Ring

Having surpassed level thirty, Xiao Wu stops hiding her transformed soul-beast nature and condenses her own soul ring openly before Su Ye and the other women. 181
