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

Chapter 79 Taking a Bath

This is a fire griffin! It must have a lot of treasures on it. We can't miss this opportunity.

"Hmm, this fire griffin's feathers are quite nice; they could be used to make a fan, which would definitely be very cool."

As Lin Tian spoke, he plucked a few fiery red feathers from the fire griffin.

"And these claws are so sharp, they would be very powerful as weapons."

He also chopped off the fire griffin's claws, intending to keep them for later use.

"And these teeth..."

"And these eyes..."

"And this..."

Lin Tian was like a busy little bee, bustling around on the fire griffin's corpse, collecting everything that could be used.

The Empress and the Goddess of Asura couldn't help but roll their eyes at Lin Tian's appearance.

This guy is even more thuggish than a bandit! He'll pluck a feather from a passing goose and leave nothing behind!

"By the way, where's the Fire Griffin's beast essence? I can't find it."

Lin Tian suddenly remembered something. He searched around but found that there was no beast essence in the fire griffin's corpse.

"Could it be that this fire griffin doesn't have a beast essence?"

Lin Tian frowned. This shouldn't be the case. How could such a powerful demon beast not have a beast essence?

"Let me take a look!"

As the empress spoke, she closed her eyes and began to sense things.

After a while, she opened her eyes, pointed to the fire griffin's head, and said, "There it is!"

"Inside the head?"

Lin Tian was taken aback; he had never heard of beast essence residing in the head before!

However, since the Empress said so, it must be true.

He picked up the feather he had plucked from the fire lion and then, with all his might, swung it down at the fire griffin's head!

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Tian split the fire griffin's head in two.

A fist-sized bead, shimmering with white light, rolled out of the fire griffin's head.

"Is this... Beast Essence?"

Lin Tian stared at the bead, his eyes wide with disbelief.

This beast core is a size larger than the previous white tiger's beast core, and the energy fluctuations it emits are also much stronger.

"We're rich! We're really rich this time!"

Lin Tian laughed excitedly. This beast essence was absolutely priceless!

He quickly picked up the beast essence, wiped it clean, and then carefully put it away.

"Haha, with this beast essence, my strength will increase significantly!" Lin Tian said proudly.

"Brother, how do you plan to use this beast essence?" the Empress asked curiously.

"Well, I haven't decided yet."

Lin Tian stroked his chin. "However, I certainly won't waste it."

"Hehe, that's good."

The Empress smiled, confident that Lin Tian would use the beast essence in the most appropriate way.

"Alright, we've all had a busy day, let's get some rest!"

As Lin Tian spoke, he yawned, then found a comfortable spot, lay down, and went to sleep.

The Empress and the Goddess of Asura each found a place to rest.

The little black bear lay obediently beside Lin Tian, like a loyal guardian protecting him.

The wolf pack was scattered around the camp, vigilantly watching the surroundings and protecting their safety.

The next morning, Lin Tian was awakened by a series of "cooing" sounds.

He opened his eyes and found that there were several monkeys picking fruit from the tree.

"These guys are up pretty early."

Lin Tian stretched and got up from the ground.

He stretched his muscles and felt full of energy, indicating that he had rested well last night.

"Hmm? What's that smell?"

Lin Tian suddenly smelled a strange odor. He followed the scent and found that it was coming from himself.

"Holy crap! How long has it been since I last showered? Why do I smell so bad?"

Lin Tian pinched his nose and said with a look of disgust.

He then realized that he hadn't showered for several days. He had been fighting and running for his life and hadn't had time to take care of such things.

"No, I need to take a shower right away!"

As Lin Tian spoke, he prepared to go to the stream next to the camp to take a bath.

"Hey, where are you going, little brother?"

When the Empress saw Lin Tian about to leave, she quickly asked him what was going on.

"I'm going to take a shower, do you guys want to come with me?"

Lin Tian asked.

"Yeah!"

Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately perked up. She had also wanted to take a bath for a long time, but had never found a suitable opportunity.

"I won't go, you can go."

The Asura Goddess said lazily that she had no interest in taking a bath; she preferred to sunbathe.

"Okay then, let's go."

As Lin Tian spoke, he led the Empress and the little black bear toward the stream.

Upon arriving at the stream, Lin Tian first observed the surrounding environment. After confirming that there was no danger, he removed the turtle shell and jumped into the stream.

Ah...that feels so good!

The cool stream water soaked his body, and Lin Tian felt a wave of comfort. He closed his eyes and fully enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.

"Hey, little brother, let me scrub your back!"

As the empress spoke, she jumped into the stream and gently wiped Lin Tian's back with her little paws.

"Hmm, not bad, the force is just right."

Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction. Although the Empress was a bit silly at times, she was quite good at serving people.

"Hehe, of course!"

The Empress smiled smugly, "I'm very powerful!"

"By the way, dear brother, did you feel any changes in your body last night?" the Empress suddenly asked.

"Changes? What changes?"

Lin Tian was taken aback. He carefully sensed it and it seemed that apart from his strength and speed increasing, there was no other significant change.

"It's just...it's just that you seem...it seems like you've gotten warmer..."

As the empress spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"It's getting hot?"

Lin Tian was even more confused; he didn't understand what the Empress meant.

"Could it be... because of the fire lion meat?"

Lin Tian suddenly remembered the fire lion feast he had last night. Could it be that his body became hot because he ate the fire lion meat?

"probably."

Lin Tian nodded. "I feel like I'm full of energy right now, and... I am indeed a bit hot."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt his body start to heat up, and it got hotter and hotter, as if a fire was burning inside him!

"What...what's going on?"

Lin Tian was startled and quickly climbed out of the stream.

"Brother, what's wrong?"
