Background / History

Xiao Wu enters Notting Academy as a work-study student and introduces herself as the wielder of the Soft-Bone Rabbit martial soul. She initially declares that “Sister Xiao Wu” will look after her classmates. 5

Her first meaningful connection with Meng Chen begins when he invites her to eat with him at the academy’s second-floor cafeteria. Grateful for the meal, she places him under her protection and promises to deal with anyone who bullies him. 5

Meng Chen discovers that she is the only girl in the work-study dormitory and pays to move her into a girls’ dormitory, also providing bedding and meals. Xiao Wu appreciates his care, though she misses her mother after the move. 6 She formally leaves the work-study dormitory, maintaining her role as its “Big Sis” while becoming increasingly wary of Tang San’s possessiveness. 7

After six years at Notting Academy, Xiao Wu graduates alongside Meng Chen and receives special admission to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. At enrollment, she reveals rank 39 soul power and a two-yellow, one-purple soul ring configuration. 18 20

When Xue Beng and his followers harass her at Heaven Dou’s cafeteria, Xiao Wu responds with a heavy punch that leaves Xue Beng unconscious. Though frightened by the political consequences, she is reassured by Meng Chen that she did nothing wrong. 24 28

After Meng Chen reaches rank forty, Xiao Wu also advances to rank forty and goes to the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region. There, she directs the Titan Giant Ape to gather and confine lightning-attributed soul beasts for Meng Chen’s fourth-ring selection. 36

At Meng Chen’s request, Xiao Wu begins studying etiquette at Moonlight Pavilion under Tang Yuehua. Despite initially appearing too wild and inexperienced for the noble academy, she is accepted as a promising student and learns refined bearing, noble etiquette, and zither performance. 63 64 83

Following Meng Chen’s return from a training journey, Xiao Wu reveals that her education has transformed her outward demeanor into that of an elegant noblewoman. However, she immediately abandons that reserve to greet Meng Chen affectionately, affirming that her feelings and essential nature remain unchanged. 80 81

Xiao Wu’s attachment to Meng Chen becomes increasingly explicit during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. She grows jealous of Shui Bing’er’s interest in him, forcibly interrupts Shui Bing’er’s invitation to dinner, and later publicly declares Meng Chen to be “her man” when Dai Weisi threatens him. 135 136 137

She becomes the hidden trump card of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team. In the semifinal against the Star Luo Royal Academy, Xiao Wu defeats the opposing team almost single-handedly, including breaking Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun’s Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill through overwhelming physical strength. 137 138 139

During the tournament final, Xiao Wu obeys Meng Chen’s order to leave the arena without hesitation, trusting him to face the entire Spirit Hall team alone. His victory over Spirit Hall causes Xiao Wu to celebrate proudly and intensifies the attention directed toward both of them. 142 143

After Bibi Dong publicly accuses Meng Chen of possibly being a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Ye Xishui evacuates him and Xiao Wu from Spirit City during the confrontation between Spirit Hall and the allied sects. 143 144

Afterward, Meng Chen takes Xiao Wu to the Star Dou Great Forest and reveals that he has long known she is a soul beast. He accepts her without reservation, telling her that whether she is human or a soul beast, she is still Xiao Wu and someone he likes. 147 Xiao Wu is overcome with relief, though she is frustrated that Meng Chen does not immediately understand that she wants an explicit romantic confession.

Meng Chen promises not to abandon her because of their different species. Xiao Wu remains beside him while he cultivates in Thunder Marsh for a month and breaks through to rank seventy. She then summons Da Ming and Er Ming to help him hunt the hundred-thousand-year Thunder-Winged Golden Roc. 148

After Meng Chen later reaches rank eighty, Xiao Wu remains with him in the Star Dou Great Forest and advances to the Soul Saint realm. She absorbs the black soul ring of a Tall-Legged Golden Fox after killing it in a jealous rage, while Meng Chen protects her with a large formation of Thunder Hell Vines. 165 169 170

When Meng Chen leaves to pursue his divine trial and travel to Slaughter City, Xiao Wu reluctantly bids him farewell and kisses him. After his return, she runs into his arms and cries with relief, having spent the entire separation worrying that he might never come back. 151 162

Following their reunion, Xiao Wu becomes more openly affectionate. She initiates a kiss beside Life’s Lake, and Meng Chen reciprocates, beginning a more openly romantic phase of their relationship. 163

Appearance

Xiao Wu is an elf-like girl with fair skin, black hair, and distinctive pink rabbit-ear accessories. She commonly wears white dresses, white stockings, and a scorpion-tail braid. 5 18 19

• Long black hair, frequently styled into a scorpion braid. 5 19
• Pink rabbit-ear hair accessories that visibly react to her emotions. 5 7
• Prefers white dresses and light-colored clothing. 7 18
• Has a natural affinity for the forested environment of the Star Dou Great Forest. 19
• After studying at Moonlight Pavilion, adopts more refined noble fashions, including carefully selected jewelry and courtly accessories, while retaining her scorpion braid. 80 81 100
• Her etiquette training gives her an elegant, poised bearing that allows her to blend naturally among high-born youths. 80 83
• During Martial Soul Possession, she develops prominent rabbit ears and a more slender, agile appearance. 137
• Her refined noble presentation contrasts with her lively expressions, impulsive movements, and strongly emotional reactions around Meng Chen. 80 135 136
• Although she lives in human form, she is revealed to be a transformed soul beast at the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest. 147

Personality

Xiao Wu is lively, playful, and quick to grow familiar with others. She enjoys being called “Sister Xiao Wu” or “Big Sis Xiao Wu,” and takes pride in protecting people she considers under her care. 5 7

She is fiercely protective of Meng Chen and easily angered by anyone she believes is mistreating, cheating, or approaching him with improper intentions. She offers to fight Yu Tianheng before learning he merely wants to challenge Meng Chen, and later becomes indignant when Yu Tianheng’s payment seems unfair. 30 33

Despite her boldness, Xiao Wu has a vulnerable side. She misses her mother, fears powerful soul masters who may uncover her identity, and is deeply uncomfortable with humans hunting soul beasts. 6 19 35 Her affection for Meng Chen develops into jealousy when Ye Cixin suggests that he and Ye Lingling should look after one another. 34 53

Her jealousy becomes increasingly open after Ye Lingling begins assisting Meng Chen with his medical studies. Xiao Wu attempts to remain polite toward Ye Lingling, but becomes vigilant about maintaining her place beside Meng Chen and resolves not to leave him unattended around potential romantic rivals. 83 84 85

Although she learns noble etiquette and self-restraint at Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Yuehua encourages her not to let those rules suppress her genuine, lively nature. Xiao Wu remains more interested in simple pleasures such as food, outings, and spending time with Meng Chen than in the attention of noble suitors. 80 81 83

She is uncompromising toward harassment and possessiveness. When Ma Hongjun behaves improperly toward her, Xiao Wu brutally incapacitates him; she then attacks Tang San when he defends Ma Hongjun and attempts to blame Meng Chen for her conduct. 90

Xiao Wu’s possessiveness becomes more pronounced as Meng Chen attracts attention from other women. She drags him away from Shui Bing’er, monitors their possible encounters during the tournament, and panics when he goes hunting with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. 135 136 173

At the same time, her jealousy is rooted in genuine fear of losing Meng Chen. After he reveals that he knows her true identity, she worries that he may reject her, hunt her for her soul ring, or regard her as frightening. His acceptance gives her profound emotional relief. 147

Xiao Wu is capable of both refinement and startling violence. She can behave like a poised noblewoman in public, yet immediately revert to her natural directness when Meng Chen is threatened, when she is jealous, or when someone harasses her. 80 137 138

Relationships

• Meng Chen — Close companion, protector, and the object of Xiao Wu’s growing affection. He feeds and protects her, arranges her dormitory transfer, reassures her after conflicts, and is the person she most readily depends on. 5 6 28 53 Their bond remains unchanged despite Xiao Wu’s etiquette training; she regards him as someone extremely important and becomes openly possessive when other girls or noble youths show interest in him. 80 81 84 115 119 After Meng Chen reveals that he knows she is a soul beast, he accepts her without reservation. Their relationship becomes explicitly romantic, culminating in mutual kisses and Xiao Wu’s increasingly open attachment. 147 151 162 163

Xiao Wu instructs him to collect lightning-attributed soul beasts for Meng Chen and later explains how to absorb an immortal herb. 36 45 He protects Xiao Wu and Meng Chen, helps hunt the Thunder-Winged Golden Roc, and reacts with comic jealousy to Meng Chen’s closeness with other women. 125 147 148 149 171
• Azure Bull Python (Da Ming) — Soul beast companion who helps Xiao Wu confirm Meng Chen’s approach through the heart-protecting scale he gave her. 36 He later helps restrain the Thunder-Winged Golden Roc and assists in protecting Xiao Wu during her soul ring absorption. 148 171
• Dugu Yan — Xiao Wu rescues her from Ning Yunxiao, forming a bond through the incident. 55
• Ye Lingling — Initially a source of jealousy for Xiao Wu due to Ye Cixin’s attempt to bring her closer to Meng Chen. 53 Xiao Wu later becomes wary of Ye Lingling’s growing attentiveness toward Meng Chen, though she remains outwardly civil to her. 83 84 85 Ye Lingling’s kiss before the tournament final and attempted kiss after the championship intensify Xiao Wu’s possessiveness. 142 143
• Ye Cixin — A senior figure who wishes to pair Meng Chen with Ye Lingling. She agrees to help arrange Xiao Wu’s enrollment at Moonlight Pavilion, though her matchmaking efforts intensify Xiao Wu’s jealousy. 53 63 64
• Tang Yuehua — Xiao Wu’s etiquette and zither mentor at Moonlight Pavilion. Tang Yuehua recognizes Xiao Wu’s potential, guides her refinement, and encourages her not to lose her true self to etiquette. 64 83
• Xue Beng — Antagonist whom Xiao Wu knocks unconscious after he and his followers provoke her. 24
• Ning Yunxiao — Opponent defeated by Xiao Wu when he attempts to exploit Dugu Yan’s weakness and behaves lewdly toward both girls. 55
• Ma Hongjun — Harasser whom Xiao Wu severely defeats after he attempts to touch her improperly. 90

Ning Rongrong admires Meng Chen, openly teases him, and once creates an awkwardly intimate misunderstanding that makes Da Ming and Er Ming believe she has betrayed Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu becomes jealous when Meng Chen travels with her, though the two women also maintain a close friendship. 169 171 173
• Zhu Zhuqing — Fellow Heaven Dou ally whom Xiao Wu regards with suspicion because of her affection for Meng Chen. Xiao Wu remains protective of their relationship while Zhu Zhuqing grows stronger through Meng Chen’s guidance. 115 137 170 173
• Shui Bing’er — Soul Master whom Meng Chen previously rescued from soul beasts. Xiao Wu becomes immediately jealous when Shui Bing’er approaches Meng Chen, invites him to dinner, and appears interested in him. 130 135 136
• Chrysanthemum Douluo (Yue Guan) and Ghost Douluo (Gui Mei) — Spirit Hall Titled Douluo who arrive to target Meng Chen while Xiao Wu is gathering food for their picnic. Xiao Wu reunites with Meng Chen as the threat emerges and escapes the confrontation with him after Ye Xishui intervenes. 119 120
• Spirit Hall — A hostile faction whose suspicions about transformed soul beasts place Xiao Wu’s identity at risk. Bibi Dong’s accusation against Meng Chen also increases the danger that Spirit Hall will investigate or target Xiao Wu. 143 144
