Background / History

Village Rivalry and Reconciliation

Xiao Wu first meets Zhu Zhuqing when she accompanies Tang San and Old Jack to Douluo Village. Irritated by Tang San blushing at Zhu Zhuqing, she challenges the other girl to decide which village is stronger. Believing Zhu Zhuqing has no soul ring, Xiao Wu promises not to use her own 29.

Despite her higher declared soul power, Xiao Wu loses the first match when Zhu Zhuqing counters her braid grapple with Entanglement, binding her legs and slamming her to the ground. She initially refuses to accept the result. When Tang San takes Zhu Zhuqing’s hand to apologize, Xiao Wu separates them and demands another duel 30 31.

To secure the rematch, Xiao Wu calls Zhu Zhuqing “big sister.” She then uses Waist Bow, but Zhu Zhuqing’s Tiger’s Roar in the Mountain Forest interrupts her aerial attack. Tang San catches her as she falls. After this second defeat, Xiao Wu admits she used her first soul skill, recognizes Zhu Zhuqing as a worthy rival, and shakes hands with her 31.

Academy Life and the Real Estate Exchange

At Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu welcomes Zhu Zhuqing and introduces her to the work-study students. After learning that Zhu Zhuqing will live off campus, she asks to join her rather than remain in the crowded, poorly maintained Dorm Seven. Tang San agrees on the condition that he escort her to and from school every day 34.

During a shopping trip, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing beat the Real Estate Exchange’s boss after he threatens to confiscate their money and force the girls to work for him. His armed employees retaliate. Xiao Wu attempts to strike their Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster with Waist Bow, but his counterattack nearly hits her; Zhu Zhuqing’s summoned Azure Sky Tiger blocks the spear 37 38.

Xiao Wu subsequently knocks out nearly all the remaining attackers and ties them into two groups outside the exchange. When Yang Aotian charges Zhu Zhuqing, she rushes to help with an iron club 39 40.

Yu Xiaogang’s Pope Token stops the city guard from arresting the group. Once Xiao Chenyu is exposed as responsible for the assault, Xiao Wu demands compensation and a house discount. Zhu Zhuqing ultimately buys two neighboring homes for 9,256 gold soul coins: Xiao Wu moves into the larger home with the Zhu sisters, while Tang San and Yu Xiaogang take the smaller one 41 42 43.

Three Years in Nuoding City

Xiao Wu helps furnish the new home and gives her bedroom a pink theme. Living separately from Tang San does not weaken their bond: over the next three years, she frequently visits his room and returns to her own only at bedtime 44 45.

At eleven, she is startled when Zhu Zhuqing asks whether she likes Tang San. She glances at him shyly before chasing Zhu Zhuqing and threatening to tickle her 45.

The following morning, Xiao Wu discovers Zhu Zhuqing’s empty bedroom. A farewell letter claims that the sisters have gone to visit Douluo Village, concealing their actual soul-ring hunting trip. Its teasing reference to Xiao Wu’s sleeping arrangements leaves her blushing; she crumples the letter and throws it at Tang San 46.

Appearance

• Hair: Long black hair worn in a single scorpion braid that nearly reaches her calves 29.
• Eyes: Large, watery eyes 29.
• Clothing: Wears a short pink dress from the Goddess chain store and pink pajamas at home 44 46.
• Expressions: Frequently adopts fierce looks, pouts, or stands with her hands on her hips when annoyed 29 34 42.

Personality

Xiao Wu is proud, competitive, and sensitive to being underestimated. She begins her village duel certain that a ranged attacker cannot defeat her at close quarters, then demands a rematch after losing. Nevertheless, she can acknowledge wrongdoing: after her second defeat, she openly admits to using a soul skill and accepts Zhu Zhuqing’s friendship 29 30 31.

Her attachment to Tang San often appears as jealousy or bossiness, but she also shows concern for him. She angrily interrupts his handshake with Zhu Zhuqing, yet hurriedly rubs his back when he coughs while eating. After her own near-injury, she apologizes for worrying him and rests against his shoulder 31 36 38.

As the work-study students’ leader, she demands obedience and insists that they greet Zhu Zhuqing properly. She also dislikes bullies who abuse their status and refuses to soften her demands toward Xiao Chenyu even with adults watching 34 42.

Xiao Wu spends her monthly money on accessories, food, and other things that catch her attention, sometimes drawing on Tang San’s funds. Radish-based snacks are particular favorites; she even proposes spending ten thousand gold soul coins entirely on radish pancakes and vegetable dumplings 35 36 43.

Waist Bow

Her first soul skill is used in close-range grappling attacks 31 38.
