Background / History

Xiao Wu arrives at Shrek Academy with Tang San for the entrance examination. Qin Chuan targets her with Shadow Hypnosis, initially attempting to erase her attachment to Tang San. She resists the first attempt, though it leaves her mentally disturbed and newly attentive to Qin Chuan. After Zhao Wuji injures her during the combat test, Qin Chuan catches and heals her, then hypnotizes her again. The second attempt succeeds: her feelings for Tang San are removed, and she is instructed to regard Qin Chuan as the person she likes most and to report Tang San's movements to him 1.

After the examination, Xiao Wu's former reliance on Tang San is replaced by detachment and disgust. She becomes jealous when Qin Chuan speaks closely with Ning Rongrong, while Tang San remains unaware that her emotional attachment has been altered 2. She openly defends Qin Chuan when Tang San warns her against him, and later brings Qin Chuan breakfast herself 4.

At Shrek, Xiao Wu is identified as a level 29 agility and power-attack dual-system Spirit Master. Her speed, explosive force, and Waist Bow earn Zhao Wuji's acknowledgment during practical training 5 6. During Oscar's soul-hunting expedition, she helps guard Qin Chuan within the group's formation and is the first to notice a Human-Faced Demon Spider's enormous web 8.

During Qin Chuan's three years of cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he returns to Shrek with immortal herbs for Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. The group agrees to meet again after reaching eighteen years of age 16.

Six years after her enrollment, Xiao Wu is revealed to be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit. Tang Hao has controlled her mind and intends for Tang San to receive her sacrifice, soul ring, and soul bone. Her eyes are hollow, her speech mechanical, and much of her vitality has already been extracted when Qin Chuan intervenes 46. Qin Chuan uses Bansho Ten'in to pull her away from the ritual and escapes with her while Tang Hao pursues him 46 47. He ultimately entrusts her to Er Ming, who recognizes her injuries and carries her toward Life Lake for protection 48.

Appearance

Six years after Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu is taller and more refined, while retaining her distinctive scorpion braid 46.

• Long black scorpion braid, with its tip reaching nearly to her waist 46
• Slender, lithe build 46
• Wears a pink short-sleeved top during the Star Dou Great Forest expedition 8
• Her eyes become hollow and unfocused while under Tang Hao's control 46

Personality

Before her later mind control, Xiao Wu is described as lively, spirited, forthright, and willing to stand up for the weak 46. She confronts her fear of spiders during Zhao Wuji's test and gains confidence from overcoming it 2.

Her behavior toward Qin Chuan is fundamentally shaped by Shadow Hypnosis rather than free emotional development. After the hypnosis, she rejects Tang San, treats Qin Chuan with shy affection, defends him against Tang San's accusations, and anxiously searches for him when he disappears during the soul hunt 1 4 10.

Relationships

• Qin Chuan — Subjected Xiao Wu to Shadow Hypnosis, replacing her attachment to Tang San with affection for Qin Chuan and ordering her to monitor Tang San. Qin Chuan later risks Tang Hao's pursuit to prevent her sacrifice and brings her to Er Ming 1 46 48.
• Tang San — Her childhood attachment to him is erased through hypnosis. Their relationship deteriorates into emotional distance, while Tang San later prepares to receive her sacrifice under Tang Hao's direction 1 2 46.
• Tang Hao — Controls Xiao Wu's mind, addresses her as a subordinate, and orders her to begin the sacrifice for Tang San 46.
• Er Ming — A Hundred-Thousand-Year soul beast who, alongside Da Ming, protected Xiao Wu for a hundred years. He recognizes her condition, takes her from Qin Chuan, and carries her to safety 48.
