Chapter 12 - I, the Slaughter Angel, Am Also Reborn!
After receiving her orders, the Slaughter Angel immediately headed for the Lin family estate.
Her figure moved unpredictably—sometimes flying high in the sky, sometimes blending into the darkness. Before she realized it, she had slipped past layer upon layer of guards and found herself inside a room deep within the estate.
Looking at the sleeping Lin Daotian before her, she was supposed to end his life with a single strike.
But at that moment, all the murderous intent within her dissipated, and her gaze softened, filled with joy.
“Master, we meet again… how wonderful!”
She was, in fact, a reborn individual, returning from 500 years into the future.
In her previous life, at this very moment, she had also received orders from the Heavenly Demon Hall to assassinate Lin Daotian.
However, she had been discovered by his father, the Dragon King, and her mission failed. Not only did she not complete the task, but she was also captured alive.
Lin Daotian, though, did not kill her. Instead, he reasoned with her, trying to convince her to abandon the darkness and embrace the light.
Under his sincere care, she experienced a warmth she had never known within the Heavenly Demon Hall.
Later, she learned that her parents had actually been killed by the Heavenly Demon Hall, with the sole purpose of luring her into the demonic path.
So, she left the Heavenly Demon Hall and joined Lin Daotian’s side, fighting demons and saving the world with him. Together, they eventually left Earth, battling across the galaxy, their names known far and wide.
Those glorious years still filled her with excitement whenever she recalled them.
However, what she cherished most was the time she spent by Lin Daotian’s side.
Those days may have seemed ordinary, but they were full of warmth.
Sadly, her master was as dense as a block of wood and, even after all that time, never noticed her feelings, which left her both frustrated and annoyed.
As she thought about this, the Slaughter Angel moved closer to Lin Daotian’s side, bending down and gently stroking his face. Finally, she leaned in and gave him a light kiss.
“This must be Master’s first kiss, right? Hehe, finally, it’s mine!”
“If those other women knew, they’d be so jealous!”
“Too bad I was reborn, and you weren’t, so now Master is mine to enjoy alone!”
With these thoughts, a satisfied smile crept onto the Slaughter Angel’s lips.
Looking down at the sleeping Lin Daotian, she also felt a twinge of pain in her heart.
“Master, in this life, I won’t let you suffer like before. I will bear all the darkness for you! The Heavenly Demon Hall will fall by my hand—just wait for my good news!”
Reluctantly, she cast one last glance at Lin Daotian before standing up and heading for the door.
But as she passed by the panda, who was also sound asleep, she stopped in her tracks, her eyes flashing with mischief.
In the past, this arrogant little creature had flaunted itself before her, basking in Master’s affection—how annoying!
Today, she would teach it a lesson it would never forget!
She… would cuddle it to death!
With this thought, she scooped up the panda and began furiously cuddling it.
Five minutes later, fully satisfied, she left the room.
At that moment, a figure appeared in the room, chewing on a cigar. He watched the figure leaving, then glanced at the sleeping Lin Daotian and the panda, falling deep into thought.
The next morning, Lin Daotian awoke from bed.
“That was such a great sleep!”
He stretched lazily, extending his arms comfortably, feeling like he hadn’t slept so well in a long time.
However, his face felt a bit sticky—perhaps he drooled in his sleep?
Not that he cared. What’s wrong with drooling while sleeping?
Everyone does it. Some people even wet the bed!
After finishing his stretch, Lin Daotian glanced over at the panda, noticing it was curled up and looking rather lethargic. Curious, he asked, “Panda, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so low on energy?”
The panda shook her big head and held up a sign: I don’t know, I went to sleep and woke up with back pain!
“Are you sick?” Lin Daotian asked with concern.
The panda shook her head again, indicating it wasn’t that.
After a moment, she turned to him with a look of grievance in her eyes, holding up a sign accusingly: Master, did you secretly cuddle me in your sleep? You used so much force, I’m almost falling apart!
“Nothing like that!” Lin Daotian shook his head. “I don’t need to cuddle you secretly, do I? I can just do it openly!”
As he said that, he immediately scooped the panda up and started gently stroking her fur.
Over time, Lin Daotian had developed a smooth technique for petting the panda, leaving her craving more. She had become so accustomed to the daily cuddles that she felt uncomfortable without them.
While the panda enjoyed the pampering, she held up a sign as she pondered: Who on earth dared to rough me up?
After a while, both the human and his pet were feeling more energetic.
They finished washing up and went out for breakfast.
His parents were already there, and the family atmosphere was warm and lively.
Dragon King Lin Aotian had already finished his meal and was puffing on a cigar. Casually, he asked, “Son, how did you sleep last night?”
Without looking up, Lin Daotian replied, “Slept like a log!”
“Good, that’s good. But aside from that, did you feel anything else?”
“I was out cold. What could I have felt?”
“True, true! Son, do you have someone you like?”
“Of course, don’t I have you two?”
“I mean a woman, your love interest!”
“None at the moment.”
“What about a woman who likes you? Like, one who loves you to the bone?”
Lin Daotian looked up, confused. “Dad, you’re acting weird today. What’s with all these strange questions? If you have something to say, just spit it out. Don’t beat around the bush!”
“Fine, I’ll get straight to it!”
The Dragon King put down his cigar and gave Lin Daotian a knowing look. “Son, last night, a strange woman snuck into your room and launched a sneak attack on you!”
“Pfft!” Lin Daotian spat out the soy milk he had just sipped.
A sneak attack?
That intense?
The panda’s chubby body shuddered, and she immediately put down her bun, her curious little eyes widening as she perked up her ears to listen closely.
Lin Daotian didn’t even bother wiping his face clean before nervously asking, “Someone snuck into my room? Who was it? What did she do to me?”
“It was dark, and she was wearing a mask, so I couldn’t see her face clearly. As for what she did… not much, really. Just gave you some kisses and cuddles!” The Dragon King grinned slyly.
Lin Daotian’s face turned green with anger. “Dad, how can you say that’s ‘nothing’? My first kiss and my first cuddle were stolen just like that, and I don’t even know by whom! What if she turns out to be ugly? Wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?”
The Dragon King waved his hand with a laugh. “Don’t worry. Even though I couldn’t see her face, from her figure, she’s definitely a stunning beauty! And considering she slipped past all the layers of security without a sound, she’s definitely strong enough to be worthy of you!”
The panda held up a sign: True!
Lin Daotian: “…”
He protested, “Dad, why didn’t you stop her?”
“Why would I stop her?”
The Dragon King turned away, crossing his legs, cigar back in hand, puffing away. “What if she’s your future daughter-in-law? Wouldn’t it be awkward for her to meet her father-in-law in such a situation?”
The panda held up another sign: Makes sense!
Lin Daotian: “…”
“To be honest, in all my years, I’ve never seen a woman look at you with such deep affection, practically drooling! Just like how your mother looks at me. A woman like that is definitely worth marrying!” The Dragon King said excitedly. “Son, you should check your circle of friends. See who it might be and bring her home for your mother and me to meet, openly and proudly!”
Mother Lin smiled and nodded, “Go ahead, son. I’m curious to know who this girl is too! As a man, be proactive!”
Lin Daotian was not pleased. What kind of parents are you? I got sneak-attacked, suffered for it, and instead of comforting me, you are thinking about bringing the girl home!
Wouldn’t that mean he’d be taken advantage of for life?
The panda, snickering on the side, held up another sign in agreement: Bring her home!
At that moment, the Dragon King added, “Oh, and before she left, she picked up the panda and gave her a good cuddle! Son, try looking for the girl who loves pandas the most!”
Panda: “…”
