Transmigrated into a tortoise, the Empress and the Goddess became my sisters.

The three turtles entered the cave and discovered a hidden world inside.

There is a huge hole in the top of the cave, through which sunlight shines and illuminates the entire cave.

"Are we... still in that cave?" The Goddess of Asura was even more confused.

"I don't know," the Empress replied, looking equally bewildered.

"Who cares where he is, let's take a look first." Lin Tian said and walked inside first.

Suddenly, a series of heavy footsteps came from deep within the cave, and San Gui immediately became alert.

"What's that noise?" The Goddess of Asura asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, let's go take a look." Lin Tian gestured for them to follow.

The three turtles tiptoed toward the source of the sound, and soon they saw a huge figure.

"Bear! It's that big black bear again!" the Empress exclaimed in surprise.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Lin Tian quickly covered her mouth.

"Roar!" The big black bear had obviously spotted them. With a roar, it strode forward and charged.

"Run!" Lin Tian shouted, grabbing his two younger sisters and running.

But the big black bear was too fast and was about to catch up with them.

"What should we do? What should we do?" The Goddess of Asura was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Damn it, let's fight it!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth and stopped.

Just then, he suddenly felt something burning hot in his arms. He took it out and saw that it was the Qi Luck Pill.

"What's wrong with this thing right now?" Lin Tian muttered to himself, but he couldn't worry about that now. He might as well try anything!

He swallowed the Qi Luck Pill in one gulp.

"Roar!" The big black bear had already rushed up to him, raising its huge paw, about to strike.

"Boom!" Just then, a loud noise came from overhead.

A huge rock suddenly fell from the cave ceiling, and by sheer coincidence, it hit the big black bear right on the head.

"Aow..." The big black bear let out a miserable cry, and its huge body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"This...this is it?" The Goddess of Asura opened her mouth wide, her face filled with disbelief.

The Empress was stunned, and it took her a long time to come to her senses. "Brother, what kind of incredible luck did you have?"

Lin Tian was also dumbfounded. He looked at his own paws, then at the big black bear lying on the ground. What a coincidence!

"Could it be... the effect of this Qi Luck Pill?"

He thought to himself, "This thing is too weird, isn't it?"

He walked up to the big black bear and poked it with his paw. The bear was dead.

"This bear... has a lot of meat, but it's too tough to chew."

Lin Tian circled the big black bear twice, looking regretful. How much spiritual energy must it have? It's a pity his small teeth can't chew it!

Just then, a series of "howling" sounds suddenly came from outside, growing louder as they approached.

"Oh no, something's wrong!"

Lin Tian was startled. He was all too familiar with that sound; it was a wolf's howl, no, it sounded like...

"It's Little Bear!" The Empress recognized it too, and her expression changed.

"Quick, hide!" Lin Tian shouted.

The three turtles quickly hid behind a large rock and secretly peeked out.

A small bear ran in from the cave entrance. It was much bigger than a wolf, like a small calf, but compared to the big black bear from before, it was indeed just a "small" bear.

The little bear ran to the big black bear, rubbed its nose against him, and whimpered a few times, as if it were crying.

The three turtles looked at each other in bewilderment. Could this little bear be the cub of that big black bear?

"What do we do now?" the Asura Goddess asked softly.

"What else can we do? Just wait!" Lin Tian said. "We'll talk about it after this little bear leaves."

The little bear circled around the big black bear, occasionally letting out a soft whimper, looking very sad.

After a while, it seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly turned around and looked towards where the three turtles were hiding.

"Oh no, it has discovered us!" the Empress exclaimed.

Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat. This was troublesome. If the little bear went berserk, the three of them might not be able to handle it.

As he was thinking, the little bear suddenly walked towards them.

The three turtles were on tenterhooks, ready to fight at any moment.

However, to their surprise, the little bear walked up to them, stopped, and then... lay down on the ground, looking submissive.

"What... what's going on?" The Goddess of Asura was completely bewildered.

The Empress was stunned. "It...it seems to be submitting to us?"

Lin Tian was also completely confused. Why did the little bear suddenly become cowardly?

He tentatively took a step forward, but the bear didn't attack him; instead, it lowered its head.

"Could it be..." Lin Tian suddenly thought of a possibility, "This little bear, could it be that it thinks we are its saviors?"

"Savior?" The Goddess of Asura was even more bewildered. "When did we save it?"

"You're so stupid!" Lin Tian said. "That rock just now killed the big black bear. This little bear must think that we saved it, but failed to save its 'parent'."

"Is this even possible?" The Goddess of Asura felt her worldview had been completely shattered.

"This Qi Luck Pill... it's too miraculous!" the Empress murmured to herself.

Lin Tian felt a wave of lingering fear. Luckily, he had just taken the Qi Luck Pill, otherwise the three of them might have been turned into mincemeat by the giant black bear.

He walked up to the bear cub and patted its head with his paw.

"Can you...understand me?"

The little bear raised its head, looked at Lin Tian with its wet eyes, and whimpered twice.

"Looks like you don't understand." Lin Tian sighed. "But it's okay, as long as you don't attack us, we'll consider you a friend."

The little bear seemed to understand Lin Tian's words and actually nodded.

"Holy crap, has this little bear become a spirit?" the Asura Goddess exclaimed.

"Alright, don't make a fuss," Lin Tian said. "From now on, it will be our partner."

He thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, from now on I'll call you... Xiao Hei."

Little Bear—no, Little Black—tilted his head, seemingly not quite satisfied with the name, but he didn't object.

"Brother, are you really going to take it with you?" The Empress was still a little worried.

"Let's take him with us. It's always good to have more helpers," Lin Tian said. "Besides, this little black guy seems pretty smart. He might be able to help us a lot in the future."

"Alright." The Empress nodded. "So, what do we do next?"

"Let's leave here first," Lin Tian said. "This cave is too dangerous; we need to find a safe place."

"Let's move!" Lin Tian waved his paw, displaying an air of dominance.

The Asura Goddess pursed her lips. "Where are we going? We're in the middle of nowhere, we can't possibly go back to those monkeys, can we?"

"Go back my ass!" Lin Tian said irritably. "Those bunch of monkeys are cowards. If we rely on them, we'll be carried off by wild beasts sooner or later!"

He looked down at the well-behaved little black dog beside him. The dog looked harmless now, all its ferocity from before was gone.

"Brother, this little bear... really listens to you?" The Empress still couldn't quite believe it.

"Hmph, those who don't obey will be smashed to death with stones." Lin Tian smiled smugly, pointing at Xiao Hei, "From now on, it will be our mount!"

"A mount?" The Goddess of Asura circled Little Black. "That? It can't even run as fast as me!"
