TOS: Reincarnated As Tao Tie

Chapter 47: First Love!

Time flew by.

Unknowingly, Lin Ze had already stayed in Odin Town for a full year.

Odin Town Square.

Originally a peaceful place rarely visited by outsiders, today the town square was unusually lively. Dozens of figures clad in black windbreakers and hoods—clearly from the Assassin Temple—had arrived.

The sudden arrival of these people stirred waves of unease in the quiet town.

Each assassin held a portrait, asking passersby the same question:

"Have you seen this girl?"

But no matter who they asked, everyone simply shook their heads.

They had never seen the girl in the portrait.

After finishing their questioning, all the assassins returned to the town square, gathering around one man.

A tall middle-aged man stood at the center—his black military uniform was lined with gold, and his bearing was dignified and intimidating. His sharp purple hair and commanding aura set him apart from ordinary people at a glance.

His eyes carried a bone-deep arrogance and icy sharpness that cut like a blade.

When the assassins returned, one stepped forward respectfully.

"Master General, no one in the village has seen the Saint."

The general's gaze grew colder, and his voice carried a chill. "Search again. Question everyone within a ten-kilometer radius!"

"Yes!"

The assassins vanished instantly, launching a full-scale carpet search.

And all of it—every word and movement—was silently observed by the blood-colored butterflies scattered across Odin Town.

---

At the same time.

In a forest outside Odin Town.

Two beautiful figures—a boy and a girl—stood side by side.

The boy was handsome and radiant; the girl, cold and elegant.

"This should be the last underground demon lizard," Cai'er said, putting away her dagger as she looked at the demonic beast lying lifeless in a pool of blood.

"Yeah. Instructor Zara said there were five in total. That was the last one." Lin Ze stored a scroll in his spatial ring and jumped off the corpse, his expression weary.

"It's still too much to deal with three level-five and two level-four demon lizards at once…"

"Even though a level-five beast is equal to a level-four human professional, the spiritual power drain is just too heavy."

Cai'er stepped forward and puffed out her cheeks. "You were being greedy again."

"Hehe, only Cai'er knows me best."

As she gently closed her eyes, Lin Ze stepped forward, hugged her, and kissed her without hesitation.

He directly absorbed all of Cai'er's "love" emotion from her seven emotional wells.

After a while, he reluctantly released her.

Cai'er's face had turned crimson.

Even though Lin Ze did this almost every time he got "greedy" over the past year, her heartbeat still accelerated every time she was held in his arms.

As she stared at him silently, Lin Ze swallowed nervously.

"Cai'er… Can I kiss you again…"

She didn't respond verbally, only nodded lightly.

Naturally, Lin Ze didn't hold back—he truly loved the feeling of kissing Cai'er.

Over the past year, the two had been inseparable.

Whether eating, sleeping, or cultivating, they were always together.

After another minute, Lin Ze slowly let go of her.

But before they could speak, a familiar voice echoed beside them.

"Let's go. It's time to return."

Lin Ze and Cai'er froze.

Looking toward the sound, they saw Xidi had appeared without a sound.

"Sister… why are you here…" Lin Ze looked like a child caught doing something wrong, his tone guilty.

Cai'er also blushed and whispered, "Sister Xidi…"

Xidi didn't scold them. She just said flatly, "Let's go. We'll meet up with Bai Yue first. It's time to leave."

Lin Ze hesitated. "But Cai'er and I still need to hand in the mission…"

"No need," Xidi interrupted as she glanced at Cai'er. "Her family is here. If you return to Odin Town now, you'll be detained immediately."

Her words stunned both Lin Ze and Cai'er.

"I'll explain later," she said firmly, not giving them a chance to argue.

The next moment, their surroundings blurred.

When the scenery cleared, they found themselves in front of Bai Yue's house.

---

Bai Yue was hanging up laundry when she turned and saw them appear. She froze momentarily, then let out a long sigh.

"I didn't expect a year to pass so quickly…"

She turned to Lin Ze and Cai'er. "Your Highness, it's time. The Assassin Temple has arrived. You don't want me to hurt anyone, right?"

"…Can I at least say goodbye to Haochen?"

"He went to train with Long Xingyu this morning. He should be on his way back."

"Your Highness Bai Yue," Xidi said solemnly, "please don't make things harder. This isn't just one or two assassins—if I make a move here, all of our identities will be exposed. You don't want Long Haochen to be implicated, do you?"

Bai Yue bit her lip.

"I understand… Let me just leave a letter."

She turned and entered her room, taking out paper and pen.

---

Meanwhile, Lin Ze turned to Xidi, realization dawning.

"Sister… are we leaving Odin Town?"

"Yes. It's time to return and report."

"Then… can I bring Cai'er with me?" he asked instinctively.

Xidi looked at Cai'er and sighed.

"If you bring her, you'll only hurt her. I suggest you don't. You know she's not like us…"

Lin Ze trembled. His face went pale.

He knew Xidi was right.

If the Demon King ever found out about Cai'er's innate talent…

"Then… I won't go back either…"

Lin Ze held Cai'er's hand tightly.

"Lin Ze!" Xidi's voice suddenly turned stern. Then, regaining control, she spoke coldly: "Do you really think he'll let you stay in the human world for long?"

"Do you understand what you're saying?"

Lin Ze's heart clenched. He knew exactly who "he" referred to—the Demon King, Feng Xiu.

Just thinking about that terrifying power made his body turn cold.

This was the first time Lin Ze truly felt the overwhelming importance of strength.

If he stayed among humans for Cai'er's sake…

The Demon King would never let it slide.

The demon race would do anything to achieve their goals—even sacrifice one of their own.
