### Odin Forest

She first appears in the forest west of Odin, covered in bruises, dirt and blood. She happens upon Long Haochen and seeks his help. As she is a mute at the time, she converses with Long Haochen by writing lines on the ground.

Long Haochen then immediately carries her to a spot covered by bushes and covers her in herbs, thus masking her scent which is used to track her down. The pursuers loses her scent and then a white clothed assassin arrives to take back Cai'er.

Thinking that he means to do her harm, Long Haochen tries to protect but is knocked out. Cai'er squirms and the Assassin answers that he will not harm Long Haochen. Cai'er signals him that due to the courage he had shown, he is deserving of a reward and the Assassin thus using his Thousand Strikes Spiritual Stove improves his potential by directly increasing power by 12 levels.

Cai'er then leaves him the 'Forget-Me-Not' ring which surprises the Assassin, whereas Cai'er gives a stubborn look indicating it will be so.

Cai'er is later reunited with Long Haochen at the demon raid qualifiers. She is accompanied by him daily after their competitions. Following Long Haochen's defeat she is incredibly agitated and seeks retribution against the knight that defeated Haochen.

She joins Haochen's demon hunt squad.
