Background / History
Xiao Wu is a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast whose home is the Star Dou Great Forest. Humans killed her mother, leaving her deeply distrustful of powerful human soul masters and particularly wary of anyone who might covet her soul ring or soul bone. 102 104
She shares a close bond with Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape. Both address her as “Sister Xiao Wu,” and Er Ming's longing to see her causes him to carry her away during Tang San's soul-ring hunt. 77 104
After returning to the forest, Xiao Wu learns that Er Ming has disappeared. She blames herself for possibly contributing to his fate, while Da Ming ultimately risks entering the Core Area to seek the Beast God's aid. Er Ming later returns to the Lake of Life. 105 239 240 243
Before departing for the forest, Xiao Wu spent six years constantly alongside Tang San. She enrolled with him, trained beside him, and competed with him at the Suo Tuo Great Spirit Arena. 7 25 103

- Large, expressive eyes that frequently reveal her concern for Tang San. 37 102
- Usually wears her hair in a scorpion-tail braid. 71 239
- Her human form conceals her true nature as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. 77 101
Personality
Xiao Wu is fiercely devoted to Tang San. When he is injured or defeated, she immediately rushes to him, remains by his bedside, and openly worries for his safety. 27 37 83 She believes his promise to protect her, but recognizes that his current strength cannot shield them from the dangers posed by Title Douluo-level experts. 102 104
Her fear of humans is rooted in both her mother's death and the value of a transformed soul beast's soul ring and soul bone. Rather than risk Tang San being drawn into danger or forced to choose between her and his father, she leaves without revealing her identity. 102 103 104
Despite her guilt over Er Ming's disappearance, Xiao Wu does not remain despondent. She resolves to cultivate until she can protect herself and those she cares about, ultimately pledging to grow stronger with Da Ming and avenge their lost companion. 104 105
Even after leaving Tang San, Xiao Wu remains concerned about him and asks Da Ming and Er Ming whether they know of his condition. Her grief over Er Ming's disappearance similarly becomes motivation for her cultivation rather than a reason to surrender to despair. 239 243
