Background / History
Xiaobai was born around the same era as Qingyun Sect patriarch Qingye. She had only barely attained human form while Qingye had already become unmatched in the world. Her own slow advancement left her envious of humans’ comparatively rapid cultivation. 186
As the Fox Tribe’s chieftain, Xiaobai maintained good relations with members of the Ancient Witch Tribe. She later led her clan against Incense Valley to reclaim the tribe’s sacred Profound Fire Mirror, fulfilling a promise rather than pursuing the artifact for herself. The campaign nearly destroyed the Fox Qishan Fox Tribe, and Xiaobai was ultimately sealed beneath Incense Valley’s Profound Fire Altar for more than three centuries. 184 186 199
Ji Changfeng rescued Xiaobai by infiltrating Incense Valley, destroying the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Array, and taking her from the altar. Since she had been isolated for centuries and did not know him, Xiaobai initially feigned drunkenness and tested whether he harbored designs on her; his decision to leave her safely to rest earned part of her trust. 185 187
She accompanied Ji Changfeng to the Demon Suppressing Ancient Cave, where she revisited the legacy of Witch Maiden Linglong and learned the Beast God’s origins and destructive intentions. The encounter intensified her uncertainty about her place in the world: most of the people and clan she had known were gone, while Incense Valley still threatened her. 189 192 194
Ji Changfeng offered Xiaobai refuge at Qingyun Sect. She reunited with her adopted son, the Six-tailed Demonic Fox, and Three-tailed Demonic Fox before accepting a position as Tongtian Peak elder. 197 200 203
Appearance
Xiaobai ordinarily appears as a tall, graceful woman in flowing white robes. Her appearance is strongly associated with her fox nature: snow-white or silver-white hair, delicate pale skin, and seductive peach-blossom eyes. 185 195 220
- Often dresses in white, reflecting the name “Xiaobai.” 185
- Was barefoot when first freed from the Profound Fire Altar. 185
- Her true Nascent Soul Spirit form is a snow-white Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox. 380
- Can assume a fox-eared girl form. 379
- Her presence carries an innate alluring aura that can be sensed by others. 197 349
Personality
Xiaobai is free-spirited, impulsive, and openly playful. She drinks heavily, enjoys teasing people, and often treats serious emotional situations with provocative humor. Her mischievousness extends to Qingyun Sect’s social life, where she plays games and deliberately stirs up trouble among Ji Changfeng’s companions. 186 328 430
Despite this outward confidence, Xiaobai is cautious and deeply shaped by isolation. She tested Ji Changfeng immediately after her rescue because she could not trust a stranger merely for saving her. The destruction of her clan and the loss of her former world also leave her lonely, uncertain, and afraid of becoming a burden. 187 194
She becomes strongly attached to Ji Changfeng because he provides protection and a place to belong. Her affection often emerges as jealousy when he gives attention to other women, though she also shows gratitude for his efforts to improve her bloodline and cultivation. 202 218 378
Abilities & Skills
Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Physiology
As a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, Xiaobai possesses an exceptional demonic bloodline, a long lifespan, and a durable body.
- Her bloodline was a major factor in her ability to reach the Grand Purity Realm. 378
- Her physical body is difficult for ordinary artifacts to harm. 380

Enchantment
Xiaobai possesses the Fox Tribe’s innate charm ability, which creates an alluring aura and can influence or unsettle others.
- Her charm is powerful enough to create a brief reaction from Ji Changfeng after her cultivation improves. 349
- Her Nascent Soul Spirit also carries Enchantment, which intertwined with Ji Changfeng’s Extreme Yang Qi during their spiritual fusion. 381
- The ability is less effective when targets are actively guarded against it. 349
Cultivation Insight and Bloodline Refinement
Xiaobai understands the slow cultivation of demon beasts and the importance of bloodline development.
- She explains that demon races often require centuries or millennia to achieve progress comparable to human cultivators. 186 378
- Pills derived from the Heavenly Emperor’s Nether Stone can purify exotic-beast bloodlines and help her overcome cultivation bottlenecks. 265 379
- Ji Changfeng’s Extreme Yang Qi can greatly accelerate her cultivation when absorbed through Dual Cultivation. 380
Ancient Witch Tribe Knowledge
Xiaobai retains knowledge of the Southern Border’s ancient traditions and relics.
- She knows the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Array cannot be activated with the Profound Fire Mirror alone; Ancient Witch Tribe incantations are also required. 185
- She identifies the Profound Fire Mirror as an Ancient Witch Tribe heirloom rather than Incense Valley’s rightful possession. 186
- She recognizes Witch Maiden Linglong’s statue and identifies Black Tiger as one of Linglong’s Seven Great Warriors. 189 190
- She offers to teach the Water Kirin how to refine its Transverse Bone so that it may speak. 197

- Lu Xueqi — Ji Changfeng’s fiancée. Their first meeting is tense because Xiaobai feels jealousy, but Lu Xueqi later accepts Xiaobai’s place beside Ji Changfeng without open conflict. 202 370 371
- Jin Ping’er — Ji Changfeng’s wife and a frequent target or partner in Xiaobai’s games and teasing. Xiaobai recognizes Jin Ping’er’s connection to Lady Jinling. 206 430 437
- True Master Daoxuan — Qingyun Sect master who accepts Xiaobai as an elder after learning the circumstances of her conflict with Incense Valley. 199 203
- Water Kirin — Qingyun Sect’s guardian beast. It approached Xiaobai after sensing her unusual aura; she intends to teach it how to refine its Transverse Bone. 197
- Ancient Witch Tribe — Former allies whom Xiaobai aided by attempting to reclaim their Profound Fire Mirror. 186 199
- Biyao — A Fox Tribe descendant through her mother, Xiao Chi. Xiaobai recognizes a sense of kinship with her. 313 314

Demon Suppressing Ancient Cave Journey

Qingyun Sect Elder
After returning to Qingyun Sect, Xiaobai reunites with Six-tailed and joins the sect as Tongtian Peak’s elder. Her Peak Supreme Purity cultivation and status as the last Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox make her a significant strategic asset. 197 199 203
Incense Valley Confrontation
When Yun Yilan accuses Xiaobai of colluding with demons, Ji Changfeng publicly rejects the accusation and declares Qingyun Sect alone may judge its own people. Xiaobai’s trust in him deepens after he shields her from the orthodox factions’ pressure. 218
Bloodline and Cultivation Advancement
Ji Changfeng repeatedly supports Xiaobai’s advancement with Heavenly Emperor’s Nether Stone-derived pills, spiritual liquid, and Dual Cultivation. These methods assist her breakthrough to Grand Purity and later Golden Core Mid-stage. 265 271 379 381
Ten Thousand Swords Immortal City
In the final sequence, Xiaobai meets a familiar-feeling Ji Changfeng in Ten Thousand Swords Immortal City. They travel together for five years, during which Xiaobai uses her Fox Spirit nature to keep him immersed in an illusory life before leaving without warning. 484 485
