Background

Xiao Wu lived at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest with her mother, Rou Wu, and the forest overlords Da Ming and Er Ming. The group learned of the continent-wide hunt for Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor through the soul beast intelligence network. 34

After taking human form, Xiao Wu entered Nuoding City and spent a semester alongside Tang San, with whom she had only recently sworn siblinghood by the time Ning Rongrong arrived. Unlike Tang San and several future companions, she had not retained memories from a previous life. 99

She was later repeatedly excluded from her companions' private discussions. Feeling that Tang San no longer cared for her, she left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect alone to wander Heaven Dou City. 138 139

Appearance

In human form, Xiao Wu is described as a striking young girl with bright eyes, white teeth, pale skin, and a lithe build. Her appearance and rabbit Martial Soul made her especially valuable to slave traders. 141

• During Martial Soul Possession, rabbit ears emerge and her legs lengthen significantly. 140
• She wears a carrot-shaped accessory believed to conceal her soul beast aura, though it was actually used to deceive her. 139 145
• Her Soft Bone and Charm traits are visible even before she is fully grown. 141

Personality

Xiao Wu is impulsive, compassionate, and quick to intervene when she sees apparent injustice. When she encountered an old woman and her daughter-in-law being harassed, she immediately attacked the supposed bullies rather than recognizing the situation as a trap. 140

Her kindness is paired with profound naivety about human cruelty. She trusted the slave hunters after they feigned gratitude, revealed personal information to them, and was ultimately drugged and sold to an auction house. 140 141

The auction-house ordeal changes her perspective. After Li Pu frees her and explains that the female staff were trafficked and conditioned from childhood, she begins to question how her companions and wider human society treat women. 142 144 148

Despite these experiences, Xiao Wu remains deeply loyal to Tang San. She comforts him after defeats, promises never to leave him, and ultimately sacrifices herself because she believes it is the only way to save him. 260 263

Story Role / Major Arcs

Human World and Slave Auction House

After leaving her companions in anger, Xiao Wu helps what she believes are victims of street harassment. The incident is staged by a Slave Hunting Squad, which drugs and sells her to the Heaven Dou Royal Auction House. 139 140

Director Wang identifies her Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power as exceptionally profitable. Xiao Wu refuses food offered in exchange for obedience and is confined in a dark room to break her will. 141

Li Pu eventually releases Xiao Wu. She clings to him in terror, calls for her mother, Da Ming, and Er Ming, and begins to grasp the danger and exploitation present in human society. 142

Return to Shrek

Li Pu advises Xiao Wu that even friends and family may betray her, but she insists that she still trusts her companions. Tang San and the others find her after two days, and she returns with them. 146

During Tang San's hunt for a Man Faced Demon Spider, Xiao Wu kills the first target with a Silent Sleeve Sword to prevent Tang San from absorbing a spirit ring beyond the usual limit. Tang San later acquires a different External Soul Bone from another spider, which Xiao Wu sincerely celebrates. 176 177

Sacrifice

Following Shrek's defeats and Tang San's severe injuries, Xiao Wu tends to him while unaware that he has planned to use her sacrifice. Believing she alone can save him, she willingly offers her life, soul, spirit ring, and spirit bones. 262 263

Tang San publicly presents the sacrifice as an act of devotion, then later falsely tells the Clear Sky Sect that Xiao Wu was an evil transformed soul beast he killed after she ambushed him. 268 273
