Background / History

Xiao Xiao arrived at Shrek Academy with Xiao Yan during the annual freshman recruitment season. Her Level 35 cultivation and twin martial souls immediately attracted attention. Though outwardly cute and affectionate, she is highly competitive and refuses to become a burden to her brother. After learning that Ning Tian possessed Level 31 soul power, she pressed Xiao Yan to cultivate with her. 1 12

She and Xiao Yan practiced the zither-and-flute duet Breaking the Formation: Sea Absorbing Melody beside Sea God Lake. Their music gathered and filtered surrounding elemental energy, cleansing their meridians and accelerating cultivation. 12

Following Ma Xiaotao's attack, Xiao Yan claimed that Xiao Xiao's foundation had been damaged and secured compensation from Shrek Academy. Xiao Xiao absorbed the resulting 60,000-year Earth-Shaking Desolate Bear right-arm bone under Xiao Yan's supervision, receiving a major increase in physical strength. 14 17

For the freshman assessment, she joined Ning Tian and Wu Feng rather than teaming with Xiao Yan. She chose to fight with her less-developed Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron in order to confront her weakness, but also decisively employed the Nine Phoenix Flute when needed. 18 19

After a soul-ring hunt in the Star Dou Forest, Xiao Xiao advanced to Soul Ancestor and gained a ten-thousand-year fourth ring. Xiao Yan later subjected her to Bone-Forging Marrow-Cleansing Melody training, assisted by Qing Wan, strengthening her physique and meridians. 44 45 51

After leaving Shrek Academy with Xiao Yan, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng, Xiao Xiao became part of the Skywater Team. Xiao Yan subsequently used refined energy from six supreme soul bones to reshape her body and broaden her meridians, greatly strengthening her constitution and elemental-energy absorption. 74 90 92 96

Under Xiao Yan's intensive training, Xiao Xiao endured tailored illusionary combat and essence-energy-spirit tempering. She bore the impact of stellar energy during the final stage of the training and advanced to Rank 48. 94 95

During the Continental Youth Soul Master Tournament, Xiao Xiao participated in Skywater Academy's rise as the competition's greatest dark horse. Skywater ultimately won the championship, after which she reunited happily with Xiao Zhan and Qing Wan in Star Luo City. 117 143

While Xiao Yan spent two and a half years in seclusion, Xiao Xiao continued cultivating diligently in Nine Treasures City. She reached Level 59, refined the musical techniques Xiao Yan had taught her, and defeated Wu Feng in a friendly spar through her trump-card melody, Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. 169 170 171

A spirit pill later allowed Xiao Xiao to breach the Level 60 threshold. Concerned by Xiao Yan's previous long absence, she asked to accompany him on his next journey; he agreed and brought her to the Star Dou Forest to obtain the Soul Spirit needed for her next advancement. 178 179 182

At the Lake of Life, Xiao Yan presented her as the recipient of his advanced Soul Spirit System demonstration. With Bi Ji's willing assistance, he created a conscious Emerald Swan Soul Spirit from a portion of Bi Ji's cultivation and essence blood; the newborn Soul Spirit immediately showed affection toward Xiao Xiao. 184

Xiao Xiao later traveled with Xiao Yan through the Evil Demon Forest and the Extreme North. Although intimidated by the powerful beasts and harsh environments, she trusted his protection, witnessed his negotiations with the Evil Monarch, and watched the soul beasts of the Extreme North answer his Ice God's Decree with willing offerings. 187 188 190 192

Appearance

Xiao Xiao is a petite girl with emerald eyes and long cyan-green hair, which she commonly wears in braided pigtails or buns. Her Nine Phoenix Flute appears as an emerald-green jade flute carved with nine vivid azure phoenixes. Following the absorption of six supreme soul bones, her skin developed a fair, translucent, jade-like luster. 1 23 44 92

• Initially had a petite frame. 1 23
• Emerald eyes. 1 44
• Long cyan-green hair, initially arranged in two braids or buns; by her return to Nine Treasures City, it had grown long enough to be tied into a neat high ponytail. 1 6 169
• Slender waist. 44
• Wears Shrek Academy's white school uniform during her time in Class Nine. 12
• Her reforged body contains immense vitality and unusually heavy soul-power fluctuations despite her outwardly obedient appearance. 92 96
• Following two and a half years of cultivation, she had matured into a tall, slender young woman. 169

Personality

Xiao Xiao is affectionate and openly attached to Xiao Yan, often acting spoiled to gain his help or attention. She is also protective of him, becoming wary of the interest other girls show in him. 6 12

Beneath her cute demeanor, she is proud, strong-willed, and competitive. She actively seeks improvement, chooses to train her weaker martial soul, and endures harsh physical conditioning to become stronger. 12 19 45 51

She can be notably selfless: when the Earth-Shaking Desolate Bear right-arm bone was offered as compensation, she initially wanted Xiao Yan to absorb it for the sake of his cultivation. 16

Following her physical transformation, Xiao Xiao became more confident and bold, though she retains a somewhat theatrical, chuunibyou streak. Even when intimidated by Xiao Yan's proposed sparring, she refuses to lose momentum and loudly declares her intention to surpass her former self. 92

She is curious and has an enthusiasm for beauty as well as power. After witnessing Wu Feng's martial-soul evolution, she asked Xiao Yan to evaluate whether her own martial souls could become stronger and more beautiful. 145

Xiao Xiao remains deeply sensitive to prolonged separation from Xiao Yan. Though she loudly called him a “big jerk” for disappearing for two and a half years, she immediately broke into tears and threw herself into his arms upon his return. 171

She has also begun to recognize that Ning Tian and other girls may seek a closer place at Xiao Yan's side. This awareness gives her a sense of loss, as she fears that she may no longer be the person who receives all of her brother's attention. 153
