Background / History
Xiao Wu was originally a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who reincarnated into human form. Before entering human society, Da Ming and Er Ming were her principal companions in the Star Dou Forest. Her concern for their safety outweighs her attachment to Tang San at this point in the story. 42 46
She encounters Lin Fan near Suotuo City after sensing the Titan Giant Ape's aura. Lin Fan reveals that he knows her identity, Da Ming, and Er Ming, then uses the threat of exposure and Er Ming's disappearance to pressure her into considering following him. 42 43
At the Soul Fighting Arena, Xiao Wu chooses to leave with Lin Fan despite Tang San's pleas. She is subsequently persuaded to enter Lin Fan's Poké Ball by his promises of reunion with Da Ming and Er Ming, revenge for her mother, and eventual godhood. 45 47
The Poké Ball contract leaves her unable to act against Lin Fan. After she addresses him as “Master,” he reunites her briefly with Er Ming and reveals that Er Ming has not been harmed and possesses godhood potential. This softens her attitude toward him, though she remains constrained by the contract. 48
Lin Fan later brings Xiao Wu to the Sunset Forest and Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. She accompanies him on subsequent trips and provides information about the Lake of Life, including a dragon-shaped shadow beneath its waters and an unknown Soul Beast she felt compelled to protect. 49 50 59
Appearance

- Her expression is often resentful or reluctant after becoming Lin Fan's contracted subordinate. 48 59
Personality
Xiao Wu is fiercely loyal to Da Ming and Er Ming. Lin Fan is able to exploit this loyalty because she immediately panics when he mentions their names and becomes willing to negotiate for news of their safety. 42 43
She is cautious about her concealed identity and initially resists Lin Fan's demands. However, her desire to avoid being hunted, reunite with her companions, and avenge her mother ultimately forces her to accept his terms. 42 47
After witnessing Tang San prioritize a Martial Soul advancement over acknowledging her, Xiao Wu develops resentment toward him. She later presents herself as obedient to Lin Fan, though this obedience is enforced by her contract rather than freely given. 48 59
