Background / History

Xiao Wu first encounters Yi Chen in the Star Dou Forest after he effortlessly suppresses Dai Mubai without releasing his Martial Soul. Drawn by curiosity, she approaches him, introduces herself, and asks to be friends. Yi Chen gives her a Golden Spatula Experience Card and makes her one of the first players of Battle of the Golden Spatula. 1

She quickly becomes captivated by the game, learning its basics from Yi Chen and even winning a match against him. She treasures her trial card, spends the night thinking about the game, and resolves to find Yi Chen again. 2 3

At Ning Rongrong's suggestion, Xiao Wu joins Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing in becoming Yi Chen's disciples. At their formal meeting, Yi Chen presents her with the immortal herb Love Sickness Heartbroken Red, which stabilizes her foundation and purifies her constitution. 10 13

In a private conversation, Xiao Wu reveals that she knew Yi Chen had seen through her identity as a transformed spirit beast. She explains that she approached him initially because of his appearance and because she sensed no bloodlust or greed toward spirit beasts from him. Yi Chen promises to protect her as his disciple, despite his cooperation with Spirit Hall. 14

Xiao Wu later confesses her feelings to Yi Chen under the ancient tree on Shrek Academy's back mountain. Their first kiss begins their romantic relationship. Yi Chen subsequently creates a protective Starlight Dress for her using his ninth soul skill, imbuing it with protection against attacks below God King level. 46 47

Personality

She is competitive and bold, especially when defending Yi Chen's reputation or facing skilled Golden Spatula players. Her confidence is balanced by a willingness to accept criticism and change her strategy when Yi Chen points out her weaknesses. 16 20 29
