Background / History

Green Mound Mountain and Her Mission

Hu Tutu is the fox clan’s little princess and a genius reputed to appear on Green Mound Mountain only once every three thousand years. Before her departure, her grandfather warned her to conceal her spirit-fox identity, believing her innate Dao body would prevent others from recognizing her true form 1 5 8.

She came to the Azure Cloud Sect to seek an Eight-Tailed Spirit Fox living in seclusion within its grounds. Her goal was to obtain his cultivation method and fully awaken her bloodline—not merely for herself, but to strengthen the fox clan. Possessing the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline did not guarantee success: earlier carriers had sometimes failed to advance beyond seven tails 9.

Her status as a treasured genius concealed an unhappy childhood. She had never seen her parents, and clan members blamed her for a catastrophe associated with her birth that killed half the Fox Clan. An elder’s accusation made her the outlet for the survivors’ grief. Although the clan’s higher-ups protected her, she endured adults’ coldness and other children’s bullying 346.

Hu Yun became one of the few sources of warmth in her life. He gave her the name Hu Tutu, became her adopted father, and eventually brought her to Little Mountain Peak. Her later recollections also credit Grandpa Niu and the other elders, together with her childhood companion Hu Bing, with protecting her during her years on Green Mound Mountain 346 694 695.

Arrival at Little Mountain Peak

Hu Yun brought Hu Tutu into the sect and left Ouyang to escort her up the mountain. Her confidence quickly faltered after meeting her senior brothers: Chen Changsheng felt lethally dangerous despite sharing her realm, while Leng Qingsong and Bai Feiyu’s swordsmanship left her unable to move under their pressure 1 4 5 7.

Initially dismissive of Ouyang’s ninth-level Qi Refining cultivation, she reconsidered after seeing him effortlessly subdue the two swordsmen. When she asked whether she was stupid and useless, Ouyang reassured her and welcomed her to Little Mountain Peak, taking her along to gather herbs 6 7 8.

Finding Hu Yan

During their herb-gathering trip, Ouyang’s trap caught Hu Yan, the very Eight-Tailed Spirit Fox Hu Tutu had come to find. She did not recognize him as the secluded expert, instead becoming attached to his square-faced Tibetan fox appearance and asking to keep him as a pet 9 10 12.

Hu Tutu named him “Handsome” and confided that she hoped to awaken her bloodline and take him home to Green Mound Mountain. She believed he was an ordinary fox whose intelligence had not yet awakened. Hu Yan understood her purpose and later told Ouyang that he intended to protect her until she could defend herself 13 19.

Hu Yan later intervened when Chen Changsheng attempted to search her memories. After giving her a sugar figure and questioning her about the trip to the Mortal World, Chen Changsheng put her to sleep and prepared to use the Divine Soul Art. Hu Yan stopped him, warning that the technique would damage her divine soul, and revealed himself to Chen Changsheng as the Eight-Tailed Spirit Fox protecting her on Ouyang’s behalf 79.

By the time Hu Tutu knowingly accepted instruction from Hu Yan as her great-grandpa, she regarded her original mission as fulfilled. His insistence that she cultivate diligently appealed to her wish to become strong enough to help her senior brothers 341.

Formal Sect Admission

Her first planned trip to light her Lifebound Ever-Burning Lamp was disrupted by the confrontation with Zu Yuan’s escort. Ouyang subsequently arranged another journey with Su Ling’er 14 21.

Dongxu Zi initially refused permission, but allowed the ceremony after bargaining with Ouyang. Hu Tutu pledged to obey the sect’s rules, uphold justice and defend the Dao, and pursue cultivation without coveting worldly power or wealth. A lock of her hair entered the lamp, producing a blue flame that briefly took the shape of a fox 23 24.

Dongxu Zi’s warning about Ouyang’s dim Everlasting Lamp left her in tears. Although Ouyang dismissed the warning, she silently resolved not to let him die 25 26.

Becoming a Senior Sister

When Ouyang brought Xiao Feng to Little Mountain Peak, Hu Tutu learned that she was now someone’s senior sister. She reluctantly offered him her candied hawthorn, then gave him a prized white flower after he declined the sweets 34.

She remained concerned for him after his transformation, worrying that his divine-beast tattoos meant he might become bad. Ouyang reassured her that they marked the beginning of his recovery instead 40.

Her affection persisted when Hu Yun declined to formally accept Xiao Feng. Hu Tutu repeatedly pleaded with her father on Xiao Feng’s behalf and promised to keep pestering him until he agreed. Before Xiao Feng left, she gave him her lucky handkerchief so that he would remember her 165 167.

When Xiao Feng later returned with yellow hair caused by merging with Vermilion Bird essence blood, Hu Tutu greeted him enthusiastically and praised his appearance. She hid behind him when Chang Suzhen scolded the group, while Ouyang worried about their closeness 505.

Journey to the Mortal World

On the year’s first snowfall, Hu Tutu played excitedly outside and ignored Ouyang’s warning not to lick an iron post. Her tongue froze to it, forcing him to warm the metal until she could free herself 54.

When Ouyang and Leng Qingsong prepared for their customary snowy-season visit to the town where they had once lived, Ouyang initially refused to bring her. Hu Tutu packed her belongings and persuaded Leng Qingsong to agree, securing her place on the journey. Until then, she had known of the Mortal World only through her grandfather’s stories 54 55.

She subsequently returned to the Azure Cloud Sect with both senior brothers and was present when they found Bai Feiyu transfixed by the palace that had appeared in the sky 75.

Musical Training and Nascent Soul Formation

Hu Tutu’s exceptional aptitude did not initially translate into disciplined cultivation. Even while in Core Formation, she had not learned Sword Flight or Object-Riding Flight, and Hu Yan had to push her to maintain her progress. Ouyang therefore invited Su Xiaoqi to teach her as an impartial, strict instructor 93 175.

Hu Tutu tried to escape her qin lessons by appealing to Ouyang, but he carried her back. Su Xiaoqi ordered her to practice for sixteen hours. Despite the terrible sound of her playing, Su Xiaoqi later explained that Hu Tutu had independently learned to channel True Essence through the strings and manipulate objects without being taught any qin techniques 174 179.

Ouyang took her to Penglai Immortal Mountain to borrow its Immortal-Suppressing Dao Treasure for her cultivation. Mu Yunge agreed on the condition that he solve Penglai’s problem. Hu Tutu subsequently underwent intensive musical instruction there, practicing different instruments with little time beyond meditation to restore her mental energy 200 223.

She returned to the Azure Cloud Sect playing a suona, accompanied by Penglai cultivators whose music became funeral-like whenever it joined hers. Su Xiaoqi and Mu Yunhai encouraged frequent practice to deepen her resonance with the Dao Treasure; Hu Tutu responded by playing almost continuously 230 237.

Her rapid cultivation culminated in a Heavenly Tribulation and successful Nascent Soul Formation. Dongxu Zi explained that her reserves of True Essence had advanced faster than her understanding, leaving her unable to command her own power. He assigned her daily Dao lessons on Azure Cloud Peak and homework, with Ouyang’s support 237 239 240.

During Ouyang’s later unconsciousness, Hu Tutu began attending lessons without reminders and devoted herself to improvement. She also played a passage on the suona beside him every day, hoping to wake him. When he finally returned to consciousness, her attempt to greet him with grown-up composure ended in prolonged tears 297 302.

Revealing Her Fox Identity

The prospect of visiting Green Mound Mountain made Hu Tutu fear that her senior brothers would discover she was a demon and reject her. Her anxiety caused poor sleep, loss of appetite, and nightmares of being driven away from the Azure Cloud Sect 337.

After Ouyang promised that she would not be expelled from Little Mountain Peak, she revealed her ears and tail. He explained that he and her senior brothers had recognized her nature from the beginning and had kept silent at Hu Yun’s instruction. Reassured, she joined dinner in her red fox form while Hu Yan watched with relief 340.

Return to Green Mound Mountain

Hu Tutu prepared a large bundle of her personal treasures for the visit home, including snacks, flowers, rag dolls, and assorted objects she had collected around the sect. Her happiness was mixed with fear that her clanspeople still remembered and hated her 345 346.

During the journey, she disclosed the ostracism she had suffered before coming to the Azure Cloud Sect. Ouyang rejected the idea that she should have to earn back the clan’s affection through self-sacrifice and resolved to confront those responsible for her treatment. Leng Qingsong likewise prepared to challenge the clan, while Chen Changsheng comforted her with dancing paper foxes 346.

Her return also brought conflict involving Hu Bing, her childhood companion. Hu Tutu prevented her senior brothers from attacking the opposing groups and later resented Chen Changsheng for driving Hu Bing away 352 357.

Earlier Life and the Failed First Awakening

The elders’ account revealed that Hu Yan had originally found Hu Tutu emerging from an egg in the Blood Lake and brought her out of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. Believing her connected to the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox once abducted by an Immortal, he concealed her identity and raised her as an ordinary fox on Green Mound Mountain 357.

Before her present childhood, she had already cultivated to Nascent Soul Great Perfection over 150 years. During her first bloodline awakening, her realm surged through Out-of-Body and Spirit Division to Integration. Hu Yan abruptly interrupted the process and took her back to Green Mound Mountain 357.

The failed awakening drove her into a rampage in which she became a sea of flames and burned the mountain. Several Body Integration cultivators and Hu Yan barely suppressed her. Her cultivation was destroyed, and she reverted to a little fox 357.

Hu Yan’s intervention was later explained as an attempt to save her newborn divine soul from a strange nine-tailed fox that was consuming it. His subsequent care on Little Mountain Peak—including medicinal baths secretly nourished with his own blood essence—prepared her for another awakening. Once she reached Nascent Soul perfection again, he arranged for Ouyang to take her back to Green Mound Mountain 357 381.

The Ten Thousand Demon Hall and Nine Tails

Hu Tutu eagerly agreed to attempt another bloodline awakening after Ouyang told her it would allow her to help him. She entered the Teleportation Gate to the Ten Thousand Demon Hall with him, while Leng Qingsong and Chen Changsheng were prevented from following 357.

During their journey, she accompanied Ouyang into Blood City, where he disguised himself with cat ears. The city’s gate detector examined them and allowed them to pass after its light encountered Ouyang’s True Essence 361.

Hu Tutu later found herself separated from Ouyang in a dark, water-filled place, clutching her suona and crying for him. There she met the enormous white Nine Tails imprisoned behind iron bars. Nine Tails recognized her as a newly born divine soul distinct from both herself and Tu Yun and initially intended to use her to escape 383.

Hu Tutu passed through the bars, embraced Nine Tails’ paw, and asked whether she was her mother. After talking with her, Hu Tutu fell asleep on her paw; Nine Tails chose not to harm her 383.

The White Space and the Powers Within Her

While isolated in a pure-white space, Hu Tutu drew Green Mound Mountain, the Azure Cloud Sect, and the people she loved. Her drawings gradually gave the space direction, distance, color, grass, a sky, and a great tree, making it resemble a living world. She remained unaware of what she was doing and wanted only to go home 492.

Beside the tree, she discovered a grave whose inscription she could not read. Its leaves preserved memories of a child and an older girl, and she recognized the child’s grown face as Hu Yun’s. The memories related to Tu Yun, the nine-tailed fox who had adopted Hu Yun after his transmigration and raised him 382 493 495.

When Ouyang reunited with her, Hu Tutu briefly changed into a girl of fifteen or sixteen. Distressed by his insistence that she could no longer behave like a small child, she voluntarily sealed the powers of Tu Yun and Green Mound within herself and returned to her five-year-old appearance. Ouyang then carried her to the grave and instructed her to kowtow three times, explaining that it held only someone’s past 503.

Responsibility and the Heaven-Turning Battle

Hu Tutu eventually recognized how much Ouyang silently sacrificed for the disciples. After being left in the Ten Thousand Demon Nation, she stopped treating cultivation as something she could avoid and accepted Xiao Feng’s advice that becoming stronger was the way to help her eldest senior brother 696.

Communicating with Tu Yun and Green Mound within her body allowed her cultivation to advance rapidly. She matured into a young woman and began sensing an approaching crisis through the innate temporal sensitivity of a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox 696.

Before departing for the Heaven-Turning Battle, Chang Suzhen named Hu Tutu the future Ten Thousand Demon Nation Ruler. Tu Yun and Green Mound also left her body to participate. The departures of her godmothers and other family members forced her to confront the responsibilities and grief she had long associated with growing up 696 697.

With the nation’s authority left in her hands, conflict developed between Hu Bing’s pureblood faction and Xiao Feng’s faction supporting coexistence between demons and half-demons. Hu Bing attempted to seize the rulership and nearly killed Hu Tutu. By this period she was known as Daji, and Green Mound Mountain had been renamed Mount Yousu 690.

Hu Tutu fully accepted the two powers within her and reached the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. She resolved to unite the Demon Race’s divided tribes into a force strong enough to find and protect the person most important to her 692.

After losing many loved ones in the Heaven-Turning Battle, she trained to exhaustion, determined that Ouyang should never again have to suffer for her. He found her collapsed in a valley, carried her back toward the Ten Thousand Demon Nation Capital, and comforted her as she cried. He gave her the name Daji and spoke of her future as a Great Female Emperor who would unite the Demon Race 697.

Forgotten Ouyang and the Search for His Reincarnation

When Ouyang vanished and the world corrected its timeline, Hu Tutu’s memories of him began disappearing. Her Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox nature made her an exception to complete erasure: fragments remained, including the indistinct figure in blue-green robes from her drawings 698.

His Waist Token became nameless, leaving her unable to identify the eldest senior brother she knew she had lost. The surviving warmth and pain associated with him became her deepest obsession. Stabilizing her Dao heart, she stopped restraining her growth and took on an adult appearance 692 697 698.

Later, while grieving on Mount Naihe, Hu Tutu received reassurance from Ao Can that she could find Ouyang again if their ties remained. She realized that Ouyang had understood the arrangements for his reincarnation and had pretended to lose his memories to spare the others pain. After confronting her three Sage senior brothers, she learned which Medium Thousand World they had selected and set out to find him 738.

Becoming a Master

For five years, Hu Tutu observed Ouyang’s reincarnated self from afar or learned about him through her godmother, uncertain whether he retained his memories. She eventually approached him and insisted on taking him as her disciple 767 768 769.

Her claims of exceptional ability were undermined by her inability to perform the ordinary spells he requested. To demonstrate her strength, she shattered a stool he had made, provoking a demand for compensation. Her strongest assurance was that, as her disciple, he could rely on her powerful connections for protection 769.

By their journey up Little Mountain Peak, Hu Tutu was a Spirit Division cultivator and former Ten Thousand Demon Nation Ruler. She intended to let the boy learn about cultivation and gain the ability to protect himself before taking him to the Myriad Immortal Domains. Although she admitted that she did not know how to teach cultivation, she reassured him that other powerful masters awaited them on the mountain 772.

The walk recalled her own first ascent with Ouyang. After insisting that she hated the person she remembered while immediately defending him from criticism, she offered the boy her hand and invited him home. He accepted, and they continued up Little Mountain Peak together 772.

Appearance

Hu Tutu appears as a tiny, five-year-old girl with animal ears, a fluffy head, and rounded cheeks. Both she and Su Ling’er regard her as a budding beauty 1 2 8 21.

• Animal features: Fur, claws, and small canine teeth are described directly 4 21.
• Expressive face: Her cheeks flush when she admires Bai Feiyu and puff up when she eats or pouts 2 10 34.
• Occasional adornment: She makes and wears a flower wreath during the herb-gathering trip 10.
• True form: A little fox with fiery-red fur and white fur around her neck. After revealing her identity, she openly joins the others at dinner in fox form 340 357 496.
• Tail: Her large, expressive tail can appear involuntarily when she is angry, puffing up like an umbrella 345.
• Teenage appearance: When the powers within her manifest, she can appear fifteen or sixteen; later cultivation gives her the appearance of a young woman whose beauty draws the Demon Race to bow before her 503 696.
• Adult appearance: After ceasing to restrain her growth, she appears twenty-four or twenty-five, with snow-white skin, long flowing hair, a graceful figure, and an alluring yet sacred presence 698.

Personality

Hu Tutu is affectionate, playful, and easily impressed by handsome people. She immediately admires Bai Feiyu, later appreciates Leng Qingsong’s appearance, and openly asks which senior brother is more handsome. Her fondness for Hu Yan’s “ugly-cute” face shows that her tastes are not limited to conventional beauty 2 6 12.

Her pride in being a fox-clan genius gives way to insecurity when she encounters Little Mountain Peak’s exceptional disciples. Ouyang restores her confidence through reassurance and invented embarrassing stories about her senior brothers, which appeal to her childish competitive streak 8 9.

Despite her age, she takes her clan’s future seriously and is determined to obtain the method needed to awaken her bloodline. Away from home, however, she remains homesick and murmurs that she misses her mother while sleeping, despite later revealing that she has never known her parents 9 13 346.

Her attachment to Ouyang becomes both protective and possessive. She vows to prevent his death, resents Su Ling’er’s closeness to him, and privately wishes she could grow up quickly and keep him entirely to herself 21 22 26 44.

Hu Tutu is initially lazy about cultivation and accustomed to getting her way by acting cute. The peak’s indulgence encourages her to avoid basic techniques and Dao study, even while her realm advances. Strict instruction from Su Xiaoqi, Hu Yan, and the Penglai cultivators exposes the gap between her innate talent and her willingness to work 93 175 223 240.

Beneath her cheerful behavior lies a deep fear of rejection. Her childhood ostracism makes her worry that being exposed as a fox will cost her the home she has found. She also resists becoming a martial aunt because, as Chen Changsheng explains, she fears losing affection once she is no longer the youngest 337 340 345 346.

Her feelings about growing up are contradictory. She wants the strength to help Ouyang, yet associates adulthood with separation and the loss of being held and comforted. She is willing to seal away extraordinary powers to remain a child, but later accepts responsibility when she understands that refusing to carry her own burdens merely leaves them to the people she loves 503 694 696.

Grief transforms her from an indulged child into a determined cultivator and ruler. After the Heaven-Turning Battle, she trains until she collapses and is prepared to take Ouyang away from her other senior brothers if they continue making him bear their suffering. Nevertheless, his presence still allows her to cry and seek comfort as she did when she was little 697.

As a master, she retains her pride, impulsiveness, and tendency to rely on the affection and strength of her family. She boasts of her status but frankly admits her inability to teach cultivation, and her claimed hatred of Ouyang collapses the moment someone else criticizes him 769 772.

Abilities & Skills

Innate Dao Body

Her innate Dao body is expected to conceal her true spirit-fox form 5.

• Her grandfather instructs her never to reveal her identity, warning that exposure could bring death 5.
• The concealment is not absolute: Ouyang’s panel identifies her species, Bai Feiyu sees through her nature, and Dongxu Zi recognizes her as a spirit fox 1 2 23.
• She mistakenly believes Dongxu Zi has not discovered her identity after the lamp ceremony 24.
• Following Nascent Soul Formation, her ears briefly appear during her excitement; transforming her demon essence into True Essence hides them again 240.
• Ouyang later confirms that all her senior brothers recognized her nature when she first arrived and merely refrained from exposing her secret 340.

Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Bloodline

Hu Tutu carries the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline and initially seeks a method to awaken its power fully 9 12.

• She believes her bloodline should make her invincible against cultivators at her own level; her encounters with Chen Changsheng and the swordsmen undermine that assumption 4 7.
• Her exclusive skill, Charm All Beings, is listed as not unlocked at introduction. Her later beauty and allure are described as capable of charming beings, but the supplied passages do not explicitly document the panel skill’s unlocking 1 696 698.
• Hu Yan stays to see whether she can become a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox and prepares her for bloodline awakening 19 357.
• Her first awakening produces a catastrophic rise in cultivation and a fiery rampage after Hu Yan interrupts it to protect her newborn divine soul 357 381.
• White Nine Tails recognizes Hu Tutu as a newly born Nine Tails divine soul, distinct from herself and Tu Yun 383.
• Tu Yun and Green Mound’s powers reside within her. She can voluntarily seal them, later communicate with the two godmothers, and eventually accept both powers fully 503 692 696.
• By her latest appearance, she refers to being a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox in the past tense 772.

Spiritual Perception

As a spirit fox, Hu Tutu can perceive emotional and spiritual irregularities 2 4.

• Detects Bai Feiyu’s displeasure when he first recognizes her nature 2.
• Notices that Chen Changsheng’s puppet lacks living vitality and that its face is difficult to remember 4.
• Feels bloodline kinship with Hu Yan despite not recognizing his identity 12.
• Perceives that something weighs on Ouyang despite his outwardly cheerful behavior 696.

Natural Aptitudes

Ouyang’s hidden panel records the following attributes at her introduction 1:

• Spirit-herb finding: Claims to be particularly good at finding spirit herbs when Ouyang invites her to gather them; no specific herb-finding feat is shown 8.
• Treasure control: Uses her demon essence to command her Paper Crane Spirit Treasure 26.
• Cultivation talent: Her later progress demonstrates that indolence, rather than a lack of aptitude, is her principal early limitation. Serious cultivation and guidance from the godmothers within her allow extremely rapid advancement 175 696.

Musical Dao

Hu Tutu’s musical aptitude manifests before she learns formal technique. Su Xiaoqi confirms that her random qin plucking already channels True Essence and controls objects, despite sounding dreadful to listeners 179.

• Qin: Her initial training instrument under Su Xiaoqi 174 179.
• Multiple instruments: Receives intensive instruction on Penglai Immortal Mountain 223.
• Suona: Becomes her characteristic instrument, played almost constantly after her return to the Azure Cloud Sect 230 237.
• Killing path: Mu Yunhai identifies her music as suited to a path of slaughter within the Musical Dao and explains that she will eventually learn to control its effects 237.
• Dao Treasure resonance: Frequent performance is intended to deepen the connection between herself, her music, and the treasure 237.
• Limitations: Musical talent and rapid accumulation of True Essence do not initially give her sufficient Dao attainment to control her Nascent Soul power 240.

Transformation and Self-Sealing

Hu Tutu can manifest fox ears and a tail while otherwise appearing human, or assume her complete red fox form. Strong emotion can reveal her animal features involuntarily 240 340 345.

Her physical maturation is also connected to the powers she permits herself to use. She seals Tu Yun and Green Mound’s powers to return from a teenage appearance to her five-year-old body, and later stops restraining her growth to assume an adult form 503 698.

Future Prediction and Temporal Sensitivity

Future Prediction is an innate gift of Nine-Tailed Heavenly Foxes. Before Hu Tutu fully awakens it, Tu Yun explains that her persistent sense of urgency may already be a perception of an approaching crisis 696.

This sensitivity to time also prevents the world’s correction of Ouyang’s existence from erasing every trace of him. Although she loses his identity and face, fragments of her drawings and the impression of a figure in blue-green robes remain 698.

Drawings and Spatial Influence

Within the pure-white consciousness space, Hu Tutu’s drawings unconsciously establish boundaries, dimensions, colors, and living scenery. Images of her homes and loved ones transform the white surroundings into a world with grass, a blue sky, and a towering tree 492.

The feat is presented as an unconscious effect within that space, rather than a demonstrated ability to create worlds at will elsewhere 492.

Basic Technique Limitations

Despite her cultivation, Hu Tutu neglects many elementary arts. As a Core Formation cultivator, she cannot perform Sword Flight or Object-Riding Flight; Dongxu Zi identifies her lack of study as the cause of her later inability to control Nascent Soul True Essence 93 175 240.

Even when taking a disciple, she cannot demonstrate the ordinary spells he requests, including turning stone into gold, Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers, summoning wind and rain, or drawing a talisman. She can shatter a distant stool with a gesture, but admits that she does not know how to teach cultivation 769 772.

Equipment / Items

• Paper Crane Spirit Treasure — Her first magical treasure, gifted by Dongxu Zi. Ouyang supplies 1,000 points of true qi to upgrade it into a Spirit Treasure and awaken its intelligence 25 26.
  • Stores itself as a crane design on her index fingernail and can be summoned into her palm 25.
  • Expands into a flying mount three meters tall and five meters long, capable of carrying Hu Tutu and Ouyang together 26.
  • Communicates its flying capability to her and travels more than twice as fast as Su Ling’er’s cloud 26 27.
  • Continues to serve as her mount around the sect and carries the group during her return to Green Mound Mountain 167 346.
• Lifebound Ever-Burning Lamp — Lit during her formal admission and kept with the sect’s other lamps. Its initial flame briefly manifests as a blue fox 24.
• Suona / Immortal-Suppressing Dao Treasure — The instrument associated with the Penglai treasure sought for her cultivation. She practices it to improve her resonance with the Dao Treasure and carries it even when separated from Ouyang in the darkness 200 237 383.
• Lucky handkerchief — Given to Xiao Feng before his departure so that he would remember her 167.
• Fox-head schoolbag — Carried when attending lessons and when seeking refuge with her godmothers during her anxiety over the family visit 302 337.
• Personal treasures — A collection of flowers, weeds, snacks, rag dolls, a broken sword, and other objects she values emotionally rather than materially 345.
• Waist tokens and protective talisman — Worn around her neck. Tu Yun recognizes Hu Yun’s origin power in the two tokens; a crude protective talisman accompanies them 496.
• Ouyang Waist Token / nameless wooden plaque — Loses its name as Ouyang disappears from the world’s memories, becoming a reminder of someone she knows she has forgotten 692 697 698.
• Blue-green robe — Left over her by Ouyang after he carries her from the valley. She later draws it around herself while contemplating the nameless plaque 692 697.

Relationships

• Ouyang — Eldest senior brother and principal caretaker. Her initial suspicion becomes admiration, dependence, and a determination to preserve his life 1 8 11 26.
  • She regards his embrace as complete safety and remembers his care in details such as singing her to sleep and drying her quilt after she wets the bed 492.
  • Her desire to protect him eventually motivates disciplined cultivation and her resolve to unite the Demon Race 692 696 697.
  • After his disappearance and reincarnation, she searches for him and becomes master to his reincarnated self, bringing him back toward Little Mountain Peak 738 767 769 772.
• Hu Yun — Master and adopted father, whom she calls “Daddy.” He names her, gives her the paternal affection missing from her childhood, and brings her to the Azure Cloud Sect. Ouyang’s early suspicion that she is Hu Yun’s illegitimate daughter is not established parentage; Hu Yun explicitly identifies her as his adopted daughter 1 2 161 346 694 695.
  • Their connection also involves Tu Yun, the earlier nine-tailed fox who raised Hu Yun. Hu Tutu’s present divine soul is nevertheless identified as distinct from Tu Yun 382 383 495.
• Bai Feiyu — Fourth senior brother. She admires his appearance; he initially reacts unhappily to her fox identity but takes her to the sect leader’s lecture on his flying sword 2.
  • In later recollections, she considers him somewhat strict but the best-looking of her senior brothers 492.
• Leng Qingsong — Second senior brother. His sword pressure terrifies her, though she later admires both his looks and swordsmanship 5 6.
  • He agrees to let her join the Mortal World journey and later reacts coldly to the Fox Clan’s treatment of her. Hu Tutu comes to recognize his gentleness beneath his icy manner 54 346 492.
• Chen Changsheng — Third senior brother. She initially considers him the peak’s most dangerous person. He teaches her how strongly the disciples respect Ouyang and recognizes her as the future Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox and Ten Thousand Demons Empress from his previous timeline 4 6.
  • His attempted memory search is stopped by Hu Yan because of its danger to her divine soul 79.
  • He also cares for her through cooking, medicinal treatment, and comforting gestures, including dancing paper foxes when she recounts her childhood 93 346 492.
• Hu Yan / “Handsome” — Adopted pet, fellow fox, and concealed protector. Her acceptance of his appearance softens his hostility toward his clanspeople 12 13 19.
  • He originally found and raised her, interrupted her first awakening to protect her soul, and later secretly expended his blood essence to nourish her body for another attempt 357 381.
  • She eventually recognizes him as the great-grandpa she came to seek and accepts his instruction 341.
• Su Ling’er — Rival for Ouyang’s attention. Their outwardly polite exchanges conceal mutual jealousy 21 22.
• Dongxu Zi — Sect master and senior martial uncle, affectionately addressed as “Grandpa Sect Master.” Conducts her admission ceremony and gives her the Paper Crane 24 25.
  • Becomes one of her Dao teachers after her Nascent Soul breakthrough exposes her insufficient understanding 240 297.
• Xiao Feng — Junior brother who makes her a senior sister. She welcomes him with a flower and worries about his well-being after his transformation 34 40.
  • She pleads for his formal admission, gives him her lucky handkerchief, and joyfully welcomes his return. He encourages her to become stronger if she wants to help Ouyang 165 167 505 696.
  • His later political faction advocates coexistence between demons and half-demons against Hu Bing’s pureblood movement 690.
• Grandfather and Green Mound elders — Her grandfather sends her to seek the secluded Eight-Tailed Spirit Fox and warns her to hide her identity. Grandpa Niu and the other elders protect her despite the clan’s hostility 5 9 346 694.
• Parents / Mother — She murmurs that she misses her mother while asleep, but later explains that she has never seen either parent and has no mother she knows. Her question to white Nine Tails about being her “mama” does not establish biological parentage 13 346 383.
• Su Xiaoqi / Xiao Qi — Strict qin instructor and later identified as a godmother. Ouyang brings her in to counter Hu Tutu’s laziness; she recognizes the extraordinary talent hidden beneath the girl’s dreadful playing 174 175 179 697.
• Mu Yunge — Penglai Immortal Mountain cultivator who agrees to lend the Dao Treasure under conditions and is later identified as Hu Tutu’s master 200 697.
• Mu Yunhai — Musical instructor who encourages her suona practice and recognizes her affinity for the killing path of the Musical Dao 237.
• Chang Suzhen — Godmother and Ten Thousand Demon Nation Ruler. Entrusts the nation’s future to Hu Tutu before departing for the Heaven-Turning Battle 505 696.
• Tu Yun — A godmother whose power and presence reside within Hu Tutu. The original Tu Yun raised Hu Yun after his transmigration; she is not identical to Hu Tutu’s newborn divine soul. She later guides Hu Tutu’s cultivation and explains her developing sensitivity to the future 383 495 503 696.
• Green Mound — Another godmother whose power resides within Hu Tutu. Alongside Tu Yun, assists her cultivation before leaving her body to participate in the Heaven-Turning Battle 503 696.
