Meet **Xiāo (鴞)**, the formidable God of War and the summoned spirit owl of **Hao (好子)**. Residing in the enchanting Fairyland, Xiāo shares the realm with majestic mountains, meandering rivers, and enchanting plants, where mythical creatures thrive. These extraordinary beings owe their existence to the unwavering faith and desires of the people.

Having witnessed Hao’s brilliance in previous military endeavors and unwavering loyalty, Xiāo acknowledged her remarkable capabilities and chose to bestow her wisdom and blessings upon Hao.
