Background

Xiao Xiao first appears when Wang Dong is punished for being distracted in Zhou Yi's class. Admitting that she was distracted as well, Xiao Xiao volunteers to share Wang Dong's punishment; both are assigned two hundred laps without using soul power 22.

After Huo Yuhao returns from the Far North, Xiao Xiao witnesses the unusual tenderness between him and Wang Dong. Initially impressed by Wang Dong, she becomes flustered by Huo Yuhao's transformed appearance and considerate treatment of her, privately regarding him as her “new goddess” 23.

Huo Yuhao later discovers her concealed second Martial Soul, the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute. He warns her not to attach a soul ring merely to improve her immediate Freshman Assessment prospects, exposing that her family had encouraged her to sacrifice its long-term potential for Core Disciple status 33. Xiao Xiao chooses to preserve her future and asks Huo Yuhao to accept her as his older brother, which he does 34.

Appearance

Xiao Xiao is a petite girl who is often depicted with her hair styled in twin buns 54.

• Uses a large cauldron-type Martial Soul in battle.
• Her concealed second Martial Soul manifests as a gleaming white-jade flute with phoenix patterns 33.
• Is visibly prone to blushing and nervousness around Huo Yuhao following his return from the Far North 23.

Personality

Xiao Xiao is lively, affectionate, and direct about her feelings. She accepts punishment alongside Wang Dong, openly calls Huo Yuhao her brother after he supports her, and remains committed to the people she considers her teammates and family 22 34.

She is also observant and mischievous. Xiao Xiao frequently notices Wang Dong's concealed concern for Huo Yuhao and teases her about it, including exposing that Wang Dong had saved sweet cakes specifically for him 36 69.

Despite her playful nature, Xiao Xiao takes Huo Yuhao's warning about her future seriously. She recognizes the selfishness behind her family's advice and resolves not to compromise her Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute for short-term recognition 33 34.
