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

"Ouch!"

The little black bear let out a cry, and carrying three turtles, it embarked on another unknown journey.

This journey lasted three days and three nights.

The little black bear carried three turtles on its back and ran wildly, not knowing how far it had gone.

When they stopped, they had arrived at a desolate desert.

"Where...are we?"

Lin Tian slowly woke up, feeling dizzy and disoriented, as if he had been hit hard with a hammer.

He struggled to open his eyes and found himself lying on a patch of golden sand.

The sun was high overhead, its rays so bright he could barely open his eyes.

"It's so hot..."

Lin Tian felt like his throat was on fire. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his tongue was so dry that he couldn't move it.

"Brother, you're awake? That's great!"

The Empress's delighted voice rang in Lin Tian's ears.

"Water... water..."

Lin Tian managed to utter a single word.

"Water? Where's the water here?"

The Empress said with a bitter face.

"Where...where are we?"

Lin Tian looked around and found that they were in a desert. There was nothing but sand all around them, not even a blade of grass.

“We don’t know where this is either,” the goddess of asura said weakly. “We followed Xiao Hei and ran all the way here.”

"What? It's gotten into the desert?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian nearly fainted. "Are you guys stupid? Are turtles afraid of water? Why are you running into the desert?"

"It's all to escape the humans' pursuit!" the Empress said aggrievedly. "That old Taoist priest ran away, and he'll definitely spread the word that we're 'reincarnated powerful beings.' It's too dangerous for us to stay in the forest."

"You can't just run into the desert! There's not even water here, are you trying to make me die of thirst?" Lin Tian was furious. These two silly girls were more trouble than they were worth!

"Don't get excited yet. Didn't I tell you before that there's a crescent-shaped lake in this desert? As long as we find the crescent-shaped lake, we'll be saved!" the Asura Goddess quickly said.

"Crescent Lake? Where is it?" Lin Tian asked.

"I...how would I know..." The goddess of asura's voice trailed off, "I've only heard of it, but I've never been there..."

"You!" Lin was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Aren't you trying to screw me over?!"

He was thirsty and exhausted, feeling completely drained, and wished he could find a puddle and soak in it forever. But this silly girl had actually brought him to the desert! Wasn't that just asking for his life?!

"Alright, alright, dear brother, don't be angry anymore," the Empress said, quickly snuggling closer to Lin Tian and nuzzling his neck affectionately. "I just... I just thought it was safe here..."

"Safe? You call this godforsaken place safe?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Believe it or not, we could die of thirst here right now and no one would even know!"

"Oh dear, don't say that, I just... wait!" As the Empress was speaking, she suddenly seemed to have noticed something. She frowned, turned her head to the side, and tilted it slightly, as if she was listening carefully to something.

"What's wrong?" Lin Tian couldn't help but ask when he saw her like this.

"Over there...there seems to be water over there!" The Empress's eyes suddenly lit up as she pointed into the distance.

"Water? Where is it? I can't see it!" Lin Tian quickly craned his neck and looked in the direction the Empress was pointing.

But all there was was yellow sand, not even a blade of grass. Where would the water come from?

"I can sense it!" the Empress said confidently. "I am a water-type spirit turtle, and my sense of water element is much more sensitive than yours! I can feel that there is definitely water over there!"

She couldn't care less about arguing with Lin Tian at this moment, and her tone was full of certainty.

"Really? Don't lie to me!" Lin Tian looked at the Empress with suspicion. He was dying of thirst and didn't want to be fooled by this girl again.

"Really, really! I swear!" The Empress raised her little paw and said solemnly, "If I'm lying to you, I'll... I'll never get married for the rest of my life!"

"This oath is a bit too harsh, isn't it?" Lin Tian grimaced upon hearing it, but seeing the Empress's serious expression, he began to believe it to some extent.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go!" the Empress urged. "If we don't leave now, I'll die of thirst!"

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!" Lin Tian didn't care about anything else at this point. He might as well try anything, in case there really was water!

"Little Black, let's go!" The Empress patted the little black bear's head.

"Awoo!" the little black bear cried out, carrying three turtles on its back, and ran in the direction the Empress pointed.

Believe it or not, this little black bear is quite fast. It runs very fast in the desert, its four legs seem to have wheels of fire. In no time, it has run several miles.

"We're...we're here!" The Empress suddenly shouted after running for a short while.

The little black bear quickly stopped and put all three turtles down.

"Where? Where is the water?" Lin Tian looked around, but all he could see was yellow sand, not even a puddle in sight.

"It's right ahead! I can feel it, the water is right ahead!" the Empress said excitedly, pointing ahead.

The small animals walked a little further on, and then they saw a...

"My goodness! It really is Crescent Lake!" The Asura Goddess stared wide-eyed at the crescent-shaped lake before her and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The lake, shaped like a crescent moon, lay quietly in the yellow sand. Its water was crystal clear, shimmering in the sunlight, like a giant sapphire embedded in the sand, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Haha! We found it! We've finally found Crescent Lake!" The Goddess of Asura jumped up excitedly. She had only heard of Crescent Lake before, but she never expected that she would actually find it!

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and drink some water!" Lin Tian didn't care about appreciating the beautiful scenery anymore; all he wanted to do was drink some water and moisten his throat.

As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed towards the lake.

The Empress and the Goddess of Asura quickly followed, and the little black bear also ran over at full speed.

"Plop! Plop! Plop!"

Three turtles and a bear jumped into the lake one after another, splashing water everywhere.

"Gudong Gudong..."

Lin Tian plunged his head into the water and drank his fill.

The lake water was cool and sweet; one sip and it tasted even better than fine wine. Lin Tian felt every cell in his body relax and feel so comfortable that he almost cried out.

The Empress and the Goddess of Asura were also lying by the lake, sipping water with satisfied expressions.

Needless to say, the little black bear was completely eccentric; it immediately started splashing around in the water, taking a bath.

Several small animals frolicked in the lake, enjoying the rare coolness and forgetting their previous fatigue and fear.

After drinking plenty of water and taking a shower, Lin Tian felt like he had come back to life.

He lay comfortably by the lake, basking in the sun, when suddenly he remembered his current situation and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother, what's wrong?" The Empress noticed that Lin Tian was in a low mood and came over to ask.

"Sigh, I'm wondering how we're going to live our lives from now on..." Lin Tian said weakly.

He now has almost completely exhausted his spiritual energy, and his meridians are severely injured. Most of his skills are now useless.

In this state, let alone seeking revenge on that old bastard, even survival is a question.
