Background
Xiao Wu begins as the boss of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy’s Seventh Dormitory. She enforces the dormitory rule that whoever defeats her becomes the boss, challenging Ye Hua over his bedding upon his arrival. Ye Hua defeats her despite her close-combat ability, and she honors their wager by calling him “brother.” 6 7
Her initial bond with Ye Hua changes her view of Tang San. Tang San’s fixation and hostile behavior make her uncomfortable, while Ye Hua’s protection and treatment of the work-study students earn her trust. She eventually recognizes Tang San’s hypocrisy, rejects his claims over her, and openly identifies Ye Hua as her brother. 7 12 14
Xiao Wu moves into Ye Hua’s rented villa rather than remain in a dormitory shared with Tang San. She initially misunderstands Ye Hua’s unusual abilities as proof that he is also a transformed Soul Beast, then later learns that he is an Auspicious Beast in Qilin form. 10 20 21 60 61
Her own identity as a transformed Soul Beast is publicly exposed during the Spirit Hall tournament incident, when Bibi Dong’s formation forces her aura to leak out. Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, Wang Qiu’er, and Jiangzhu stand with her despite the danger. 184
Xiao Wu’s objection to the initial Soul Spirit proposal—namely, that Soul Beast souls would still dissipate after a Soul Master’s death—helps establish the need for a lasting refuge. Ye Hua later develops the Spirit Pagoda, which can awaken and preserve deceased Soul Beast souls for voluntary Soul Spirit contracts. 196 328 330 424
Her mother was killed by Bibi Dong and became the source of Bibi Dong’s ninth Soul Ring. Xiao Wu conceals this history from her companions because she fears that seeking revenge would draw them into a devastating conflict with Spirit Hall. After the fighting at Jialing Pass, she finally reveals the truth and begins nurturing Lovesick Heartbroken Red with her essence blood as the foundation for her mother’s resurrection. 476 477
During the later war against the Abyss, Xiao Wu helps the defenders coordinate their response while awaiting Ye Hua’s arrival. After the third defensive line falls, she proposes seeking aid from the Soul Beasts of the Far North Forest and leaves to find the Titan Snow Demon King. 517
Appearance
Xiao Wu is a young woman with a long scorpion braid, large sparkling eyes, and distinctly rabbit-like mannerisms. Her rabbit ears visibly react when she is embarrassed, angry, or alarmed. 6 7 61
- Long scorpion braid, often used expressively in combat or frustration. 7 61
- Soft Bone Rabbit traits, including exceptional flexibility and powerful legs. 6 114
- Her transformed Soul Beast identity can be revealed through a leaking rabbit aura. 184
- At her earliest appearance, her brown braid is decorated with a carrot hairpin, and she wears white stockings with pink vertical stripes. 5
- Her eyes are described as pink during her encounter with Hu Liena outside Ye Hua’s room; on that occasion, she wears her hair loose with a gauzy dress and high heels. 504
Personality
Xiao Wu is bold, competitive, and accustomed to taking charge, as shown by her position as Seventh Dormitory’s boss. She does not back down easily, even after being defeated by Ye Hua, and remains outspoken toward stronger or higher-status people. 6 7 62
She is deeply loyal to those she accepts as family. Her attachment to Ye Hua grows from trust in his protection into a committed relationship, and she repeatedly defends him against Tang San’s accusations. 10 14 26
Although often playful and mischievous, Xiao Wu is also perceptive about Soul Beasts’ circumstances. When Ye Hua proposes the Soul Spirit system, she immediately identifies its central ethical problem: Soul Beast souls would dissipate when their Soul Master dies unless a lasting refuge is created. 81 153 196
Her confidence extends to dangerous trials. During the Sea God Island tests, she readily takes the lead against Xiao Bai’s shark pack and confronts the hundred-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark without hesitation. 425
Her loyalty includes a willingness to sacrifice her own opportunities for her companions. Against Sea Dragon Douluo, she deliberately accepts elimination to return Wang Qiu’er to the arena, judging Wang Qiu’er’s greater remaining strength and Soul Power more valuable to the team. During the Abyssal escape, she refuses to abandon Ning Rongrong and initially insists on staying with Ye Hua before accepting responsibility for leading the others to safety. 445 465 466
Despite her outspoken manner, Xiao Wu conceals painful personal matters when she believes revealing them would endanger others. Her silence about her mother’s death is motivated by concern for her companions and the consequences of a war between the Long Night Alliance and Spirit Hall. She later expresses a desire to have a child with Ye Hua so that her mother will know she has found a lifelong partner, but accepts postponing pregnancy when he explains the risks posed by her ongoing essence-blood expenditure. 477 478
She can be jealous of Ye Hua’s attention to other women. She angrily confronts him after learning of his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing and later questions whether he deliberately made Wang Qiu’er’s human form especially beautiful. Ye Hua reassures her that she is unique and need not compare herself with anyone else. 54 61 70
Her mischievous curiosity persists as the group grows: she joins Hu Liena and Wang Qiu’er in eavesdropping on Ye Hua and Qian Renxue, only for Ye Hua to discover them. 504

- Resides within Xiao Wu’s fifth Soul Ring and can manifest outside it. 197
- Can assist Xiao Wu in combat at the cost of Xiao Wu’s Soul Power. 197

- Is affectionate toward Xiao Wu and notably eager to bite Sky Dream Ice Silkworm because his soul body “smells delicious.” 198

- Neither can permanently die while the other remains alive. 26
- Allows painless, unlimited revival through self-inflicted death. 26
- Does not prevent imprisonment or torture. 26
- Their bond also promotes both parties’ Soul Power growth. 26
Bond Chain and Cultivation Resonance

Story Role / Major Arcs
Notting Academy Arc
Xiao Wu challenges Ye Hua for control of Seventh Dormitory, loses, and calls him “brother.” Her presence is central to Ye Hua’s effort to counter Tang San’s Protagonist Halo and prevent Tang San from influencing her. 6 7
The Dark Salvation System identifies Xiao Wu as a rescue target whose original destiny would involve sacrificing herself as Tang San’s Soul Ring and becoming the Asura Sword Scabbard. Ye Hua’s intervention is intended to divert this fate, rather than describe events Xiao Wu has already experienced. Her initial bond with him completes the “Kidnap Xiao Wu” mission and grants him the Villain Aura that suppresses Tang San’s Protagonist Halo. 1 2 6 7
After moving into Ye Hua’s villa, Xiao Wu mistakes his ability to obtain Soul Rings without hunting for evidence that he is another transformed Soul Beast. Her relief at finding someone she believes to be her own kind strengthens their bond and unlocks their cultivation resonance. 10 21
Tang San Conflict
After overhearing Tang San speak possessively about winning her affection, Xiao Wu recognizes his lust and hypocrisy. She supports Ye Hua during the Mandala Snake incident, condemns Tang San’s ingratitude, and breaks any possibility of friendship with him. 12 14
She continues defending Ye Hua at Shrek Academy, helping Zhu Zhuqing knock Tang San unconscious after his hidden-weapon attack and rejecting attempts to place them on the same tournament team. 45 55
The conflict escalates when Tang San poisons Ye Hua’s group with drugs and collaborates with Bule and his accomplices. After Ye Hua counters the ambush, Xiao Wu uses Teleportation to attack one of the assailants and condemns Tang San’s attempt to excuse his actions. She then castrates him with a Soul Power-infused kick before the city patrol takes him away. 80 81
Star Dou Forest Arc
Xiao Wu learns that Ye Hua is a Qilin Auspicious Beast and worries about the danger he faces among humans. She is later taken to the Star Dou Forest Core Area, where the Soul Beasts recognize Ye Hua’s status and Di Tian grants her a Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Bone. 61 67 72 73
At Life Lake, she spends a month cultivating with Ye Hua before leaving the forest alongside Meng Yiran, Wang Qiu’er, and Zi Ji. Her Lovesick Heartbroken Red remains unabsorbed during this period. 75
Long Night Team Arc
As Long Night Team’s vice-captain, Xiao Wu fights alongside Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Wang Qiu’er, Meng Yiran, Jiangzhu, and Oscar. She uses her mobility, Invincible Golden Body, Teleportation, Waist Bow, and Charm to support the team’s coordinated tactics. 138 139 152 154
She welcomes Na’er into the team before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, introducing herself as Ye Hua’s fiancée and promising to protect the newcomer. 129
During the Spirit Hall confrontation, Bibi Dong’s detection formation exposes Xiao Wu’s Soul Beast identity. Her companions refuse to abandon her, and Ning Fengzhi declares the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s willingness to protect them. Xiao Wu’s reaction to Bibi Dong is marked by hatred rather than fear. 184
Soul Spirit Arc
Xiao Wu raises the key concern that motivates Ye Hua to develop a lasting home for Soul Beast souls after a Soul Master’s death. She subsequently becomes the first of the group to gain a fifty-thousand-year Soul Spirit, forming a voluntary bond with Snowball and reaching Level 52. 196 197
The Soul Spirit initiative later develops into the Spirit Pagoda, which awakens, shelters, and contracts Soul Beast souls rather than requiring conventional hunting. 328 330 424
Thunder God Inheritance Arc
Xiao Wu attempts to approach the sealed Thunder God Spear but is rejected because divine inheritances recognize her Soul Beast Transformation. Ye Hua protects the group from the resulting lightning tide. 323
Sea God Island Arc
Xiao Wu receives a trial to pass through the Sea God’s Light and successfully completes her first Sea God Island trial. 421 424
The first trial’s rewards reveal that her Top-Level Seven Trials can increase Soul Ring ages. Under Sea God’s Light, her second Soul Ring changes from yellow to purple, and she excitedly calls Ye Hua’s attention to the upgrade. 424
During a later trial involving Xiao Bai and her shark pack, Xiao Wu takes the lead in combat, uses Waist Bow to defeat an attacking shark, and relies on Invincible Golden Body to block Xiao Bai’s full-power tail strike. 425
Her group reaches the reef and returns safely after Wang Qiu’er wounds Xiao Bai with the Golden Dragon Spear, completing the second trial. The trial requires a round trip through the shallow sea without seriously injuring any Soul Beast. 425
The second trial’s rewards add at least a thousand years to the participants’ Soul Rings and raise Xiao Wu to Quasi-Soul Douluo. Ye Hua then calls her and Jiangzhu forward and gives each an Adaptive Spirit Ring suited to their advancement. 427
During Tidal Body Tempering, Xiao Wu absorbs a suitable Immortal Herb supplied by Ye Hua while enduring waves tied to an iron pillar. After a year of trials and cultivation, she accepts and begins absorbing an Adaptive Spirit Ring from him, reassured that providing the rings carries no cost to him. 428 436
Against the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos, Xiao Wu joins Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Huo Wu in attacking Sea Dragon Douluo. His Self-Sacrifice Skill trades defense for overwhelming offense, forcing her to repeatedly withstand his punches with Invincible Golden Body. When Wang Qiu’er is knocked toward the arena’s edge, Xiao Wu throws her back onto the platform and lands outside it herself, accepting elimination because her own Soul Power is depleted. 443 445
Following the sixth trial, Xiao Wu is explicitly named among the companions who reach Title Douluo. She receives a hundred-thousand-year Adaptive Spirit Ring from Ye Hua and begins absorbing it with the others. 446
Sun-Moon Continent and Qiankun Love Valley Arc
Xiao Wu accompanies Ye Hua’s group to the Sun-Moon Continent in their search for higher-tier Divine Relics. When a cavalry unit confronts them, the companions display their nine Soul Rings, confirming Xiao Wu’s advancement to Title Douluo. 452
During an attack by maddened Soul Beasts, she orders the companions into formation to protect Ye Hua and Qian Renxue, then charges first and kills an attacker with Waist Bow. 457
In the Qiankun Love Valley trial, she agrees to drive a conjured golden dagger into her heart after recalling Ye Hua’s assurance that he will intervene if needed. The dagger dissolves on contact, and the trial declares her sincerity proven. She subsequently realizes that the trial’s administrator did not know Ye Hua had privately sent them messages. 461
Abyssal Invasion Arc
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong attempt to escape through an Abyssal army while Ning Rongrong suppresses the glow of her protective Soul Skill. Xiao Wu carries her, creates nine Martial Soul Avatar clones to scatter their pursuers, and uses Moonlight Sky-Shattering Kill to destroy the squad captain blocking their path. 465
A Demon Lord of demigod strength intervenes and offers her a position in the Abyss. Xiao Wu refuses, survives his trident attack with Invincible Golden Body, and escapes the encirclement. An ice-blue sword then pierces the Demon Lord. 465
When Ye Hua arranges the group’s retreat to the Sun-Moon Continent, Xiao Wu initially refuses to leave without him. She ultimately accepts his instruction to act as the group’s big sister and lead the others to safety. 466
During the later defensive war, the ruined third defensive line is abandoned in favor of the fourth. When Xue Beng asks when the Long Night Alliance’s leader will arrive, Xiao Wu estimates at least half a week. Recognizing the need for additional support, she proposes recruiting Soul Beasts from the Far North Forest and leaves to find the Titan Snow Demon King. The Abyss counterattacks the following morning before either the reinforcements or Ye Hua arrives. 517
Mother’s Resurrection Arc
During the fighting involving Bibi Dong at Jialing Pass, Xiao Wu’s distress becomes apparent to Ning Rongrong and Ye Hua. After the ceasefire, she can no longer conceal that Bibi Dong killed her mother and took her ninth Soul Ring. She explains that she withheld the truth because the group had previously lacked the strength to seek revenge without suffering devastating losses. 476 477
Ye Hua explains that immediate resurrection is not yet possible, but proposes using Lovesick Heartbroken Red nourished with Xiao Wu’s essence blood to supply the necessary bloodline foundation. He also reassures her that he has a way to obtain the required Spirit Bone. Xiao Wu begins nurturing the herb and breaks down in his arms. 477
She subsequently asks Ye Hua for a baby so that her mother will know she has found a lifelong partner. He explains that her weekly essence-blood donations draw on vitality that would also be needed by a developing child. Xiao Wu accepts postponing pregnancy; the request does not establish that she is pregnant. 478
Qian Renxue’s Rescue Aftermath
Xiao Wu encounters Hu Liena outside Ye Hua’s room, and both initially insist they are merely passing by. They discover Wang Qiu’er hiding on the roof and join her in eavesdropping on Ye Hua and Qian Renxue. Ye Hua catches Xiao Wu and Wang Qiu’er and brings them into the room, with Hu Liena joining them. 504
