Background / History

Xiao Wu lived at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest with Da Ming and Er Ming. Ah Rou, her mother, had already transformed into a human and left the forest while approaching her tribulation, leaving Xiao Wu and her two younger siblings as the area's remaining 100,000-year soul beasts. 14

She led a large group of Soft Bone Rabbits while they fed on Blue Silver Grass, including its roots. Their grazing was destructive enough to threaten the grassland despite the Star Dou Forest's unusually rapid plant growth. 14

Qian Xunji targeted the three siblings during his God Trials. He killed Xiao Wu with the remotely controlled Angel Holy Sword; her 100,000-year soul ring appeared after her death. Er Ming and Da Ming were then killed shortly afterward. 14

Much later, Qian Xunji forced Qian Renxue's soul into Xiao Wu's body, sealed it there, and had the body transformed to resemble Xiao Wu. He delivered this composite being, called Xiao Wu Xue, to Ah Rou. 109

Xiao Wu's consciousness later replaces Tang Xiaomei's consciousness and memories, making Tang Xiaomei's body another vessel for Xiao Wu's soul. 121

During the later Shrek conflict, Xiao Wu sacrifices herself to Ning Rongrong. She subsequently reappears through rebirth as Tang Xiaowu, a six-year-old human child on Sea God Island. Upon recovering her memories, she identifies herself as the Xiao Wu who had been Tang San's wife in her prior life. 237 240 252

Xiao Wu recalls that, in her prior life, bearing the God King-level Asura God Position placed an unbearable burden on her body and divine soul. Combined with an illness born from longing, this ultimately led to her death. 256

Appearance

In her soul-beast form, Xiao Wu is a large 100,000-year Soft Bone Rabbit described as sturdy as a yak. 14 Her transformed humanoid body is later seen in a pink bunny-girl outfit with long black braided hair. 121

• Large buckteeth in rabbit form. 14
• Long black braid in transformed form. 121
• Her transformed body is recognized by Tang San as carrying a distinctive rabbit scent. 121
• In her later rebirth, she appears as a six-year-old human girl named Tang Xiaowu. 240 252

Personality

Before her death, Xiao Wu is chiefly depicted as the leader of her rabbit descendants and as a member of a close-knit sibling group. Er Ming's immediate grief at her death underscores their bond. 14

Most of the later behavior associated with “Xiao Wu” belongs to Qian Renxue inhabiting Xiao Wu's body, not to Xiao Wu herself. The possessed body is cold toward Tang San, accepts his support without gratitude, and becomes entangled in Qian Renxue's resentment, desires, and identity crisis. 121 153 154 159

After recovering her own memories in her reborn identity, Xiao Wu remains fiercely loyal to Tang San and insists that only he can inherit the Sea God Position. She is nevertheless distressed by the altered family relationships created by her rebirth, including Tang Hao becoming her mother and Tang San becoming her biological elder brother. 240 241

Abilities & Traits

100,000-Year Soul Beast Physiology

Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year Soft Bone Rabbit, making her soul ring and soul bone exceptionally valuable to human soul masters. 14 181

• Led an extensive colony of Soft Bone Rabbits at the Lake of Life. 14
• Could transform into a human-like body after her body was repurposed by Qian Xunji. 109
• Her status as a transformed 100,000-year soul beast makes her a potential source of a high-level spirit ring and soul bone. 154 174
• Even after her later human rebirth, Qian Xunji considers her soul fundamentally that of a soul beast. 252

Clear Sky Hammer

Following her rebirth as Tang Xiaowu, Xiao Wu awakens the Clear Sky Hammer, a top-tier tool martial soul associated with the Clear Sky Sect. 240

• Possesses Innate Full Soul Power upon awakening. 240
• Tang Hao intends to use Sea God's Light and tidal body tempering before having Xiao Wu acquire a God-Given Spirit Ring. 240

Soft Bone Rabbit Feeding Behavior

Xiao Wu's colony consumes Blue Silver Grass aggressively, particularly its roots. 14

• The rabbits' preferred food is the crunchy root system of Blue Silver Grass. 14
• Their feeding can strip vegetation from an area faster than normal growth could replace it. 14

Relationships

• Ah Rou — Mother. Ah Rou had transformed into a human before Xiao Wu's death; Qian Xunji later delivered Xiao Wu Xue to her. Ah Rou is later reported to have been reborn as well. 14 109 241
• Er Ming — Younger sibling. He mourns Xiao Wu immediately after witnessing her death. He later reappears alongside Da Ming and remains concerned for Xiao Wu's safety. 14 273
• Da Ming — Younger sibling. He emerges from the Lake of Life after hearing Xiao Wu and Er Ming's cries. In a later era, he is the Clear Sky Sect Master and worries after losing contact with Xiao Wu's God Realm presence. 14 273
• Qian Xunji — Killer and later manipulator of her remains; he kills Xiao Wu for her soul ring, seals Qian Renxue into Xiao Wu's body, and eventually extracts Xiao Wu's reborn soul from Tang Xiaowu's body. 14 109 252
• Qian Renxue — Soul forcibly sealed into Xiao Wu's body, producing the being called Xiao Wu Xue. Qian Renxue later retains a hostile grudge against Xiao Wu and advocates killing her. 109 250
• Tang Xiaomei — Later identified as the body occupied by Xiao Wu's consciousness after Tang Xiaomei's original consciousness and memories are replaced. 121
• Tang San — In Xiao Wu's remembered prior life, her husband and the Tang God King. In her reborn life, he becomes her biological elder brother. Tang San remains obsessed with Xiao Wu's original body and memories, seeks to protect and reclaim her, and at one point intends to use the transformed Xiao Wu as a source of a 100,000-year spirit ring and soul bone. 163 174 181 240 252
• Tang Hao — Xiao Wu's mother in her later reborn identity and Sea God Island's High Priestess. Tang Hao celebrates Xiao Wu's Clear Sky Hammer awakening and personally plans her early cultivation. 240
• Tang Wutong — Xiao Wu's niece in her reborn family and her daughter from Xiao Wu's remembered prior life. The two recognize each other as reborn individuals and discuss their altered family circumstances. 240 241
• Ning Rongrong — Recipient of Xiao Wu's sacrifice. Ning Rongrong later opposes Qian Renxue's proposal to kill Xiao Wu, regarding Xiao Wu as leverage over Tang San. 237 250

Story Role / Major Arcs

Lake of Life and Death

Xiao Wu is one of the three 100,000-year soul beasts at the Lake of Life when Qian Xunji enters the Star Dou Forest to complete his trials. She is the first sibling killed in the encounter. 14

Xiao Wu Xue

Qian Xunji repurposes Xiao Wu's body as a prison for Qian Renxue's soul. Ah Rou raises the resulting Xiao Wu Xue in an unnamed village, teaching her human domestic work and providing the maternal warmth Qian Renxue craves. 109 116

Nuoding Academy

The body inhabited by Qian Renxue enrolls at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy and encounters Tang San. Tang San recognizes Xiao Wu's body and treats her as “Sister Xiao Wu,” despite the hostile personality of its current occupant. 121 151 153

Public Humiliation and Removal from Suotuo City

While still using Xiao Wu's body, Qian Renxue is publicly paraded through Suotuo City and later forced to sweep its streets under the label “Cold-Faced Gold Digger.” Tang San ultimately carries the body away while evading Spirit Hall law enforcers. 162 163 165 166

Sacrifice to Ning Rongrong

Xiao Wu sacrifices herself to Ning Rongrong, allowing Ning Rongrong to pursue greater power through Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul beast nature. Tang San is devastated by the sacrifice and is later forced to consume food made from Xiao Wu's flesh. 237 248

Rebirth on Sea God Island

Xiao Wu is reborn as Tang Xiaowu, a daughter of Tang Hao and younger sister of Tang San. At six years old, she awakens the Clear Sky Hammer with Innate Full Soul Power alongside Tang Wutong. 240 252

Soul Extraction

After Xiao Wu's rebirth, Qian Xunji identifies Tang Xiaowu as the vessel of Xiao Wu's returned soul and forcibly extracts that soul using God King-level spiritual power, prompting Tang San's fury. 252

Trivia

• Xiao Wu's body becomes a central object of conflict because it is both a transformed 100,000-year soul beast and the physical form Tang San associates with his beloved Xiao Wu. 163 174
• Tang San explicitly distinguishes Xiao Wu's body from the consciousness currently inhabiting it, intending to replace that consciousness if he attains godhood. 163 170
• Tang San's desire to preserve Xiao Wu is inseparable from his ambition to obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring and soul bone from her sacrifice. 154 174 181
• Xiao Wu's reborn Clear Sky Hammer and Innate Full Soul Power make her one of three closely related Clear Sky Hammer prodigies on Sea God Island, alongside Tang Xiaomei and Tang Wutong. 240
