After Little Black Bear transforms into a human, he appears as a small child around three years old. In reality, he is about twenty years old and has lived in the Mortal World on Earth, possibly even more familiar and accustomed to it than Ye Tianchen. His mind is definitely that of an adult!

Actually, Little Black Bear and Ye Tianchen have been somewhat at odds. Mainly because when Ye Tianchen fell into the abyss, he not only defeated Little Black Bear but also tracked him, making Little Black Bear a bit angry and frustrated, not expecting Ye Tianchen to be so powerful. Moreover, Ye Tianchen forbade him from revealing his True Body in the Mortal World, insisting he maintain the form of a three-year-old child, or else Ye Tianchen would inject a confining Rune into his body, making it impossible for him to transform at will!

This was very hard for Little Black Bear to accept, primarily because he felt uncomfortable. He is inherently a member of the Demon Clan, naturally carrying a Vicious Aura, defiant and unruly. Having lost his parents at a young age, he was eventually saved by Elder Bai Yi, who taught him some Cultivation Methods. He only listened to Elder Bai Yi, and now being under Ye Tianchen’s control was unbearable from any angle, making him quite unhappy. So, he always acts oddly, pretending to be pitiful in front of Liu Rumei, hoping Liu Rumei would help him deal with Ye Tianchen, as a way to vent his frustration.

Now, at this barbecue restaurant atop "Taiyi Mountain," Ye Tianchen, Liu Rumei, and Little Black Bear are seen as a famous family of three in the eyes of outsiders. Especially Little Black Bear, who single-handedly consumed ten servings of grilled beef and drank three large bottles of cola. Not just the ten servings of grilled beef, even the three large bottles of cola would be difficult for a child, let alone a teenager; even an adult might struggle. This bear child truly has a giant appetite, arguably unmatched by any big eater on Earth!

Unexpectedly, when Ye Tianchen was talking about ordering more food, the waitress informed him that the restaurant’s signature dish was not grilled beef, but grilled bear paw. Upon hearing the word "bear," Little Black Bear immediately jumped up with anger, furiously staring at the waitress, forbidding Ye Tianchen from eating this dish, and even banning it from the restaurant altogether. It’s a very domineering attitude!

Ye Tianchen didn’t care that much. This "grilled bear paw" wasn’t a real bear paw; bears are protected animals, and no restaurant would dare to openly serve bear paw. Yet Ye Tianchen insisted on ordering the dish made from pork crafted to resemble a bear paw, simply to teach Little Black Bear a lesson. Ye Tianchen knew that Little Black Bear was always giving him a hard time and using Liu Rumei as a shield, thinking Ye Tianchen couldn’t do anything about it. But Ye Tianchen wasn’t one to tolerate such things, and he knew this was no ordinary three-year-old child, but a twenty-something-year-old juvenile bear.

Liu Rumei was rather amused, not understanding why Ye Tianchen brought back this child, claiming he found him on the mountain. But after bringing him back, the person most at odds with this bear child is Ye Tianchen, as if there is some grudge between them, always going head-to-head.

Liu Rumei also didn’t understand why a three-year-old child would oppose the dish "grilled bear paw" so intensely, not only forbidding Ye Tianchen from eating it but also banning it from the restaurant. It seemed overly extreme, and Liu Rumei curiously asked!

Little Black Bear’s eyes welled with tears, about to overflow, looking pitifully as if he were about to tell a story related to "grilled bear paw." Even Ye Tianchen became curious, wanting to hear what kind of story this bear child might fabricate.

"Why do you oppose it so much?" Liu Rumei furrowed her brows and asked.

Little Black Bear glanced at Liu Rumei, then fiercely glared at Ye Tianchen before speaking: "When I was around one year old, I lived in the deep mountains with my parents. One day, my father went hunting, leaving me at home with my mother. Suddenly, a black bear appeared, and my mother sacrificed herself to protect me, dying at the hands of the black bear’s demon paw. Fortunately, my father arrived in time, otherwise, I would have... boo hoo, my poor mother!"

Upon hearing Little Black Bear’s story, Liu Rumei almost believed it. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but laugh. Liu Rumei is a peerless beauty, extremely intelligent, definitely not just a pretty face without brains. She is a formidable force in the corporate world, with many big entrepreneurs unable to match her. Yet, in front of this bear child, she’s repeatedly deceived without realizing it. Ye Tianchen understood that the only reason is Liu Rumei’s kindness; she is a gentle and benevolent woman, full of compassion and empathy, which makes her an easy target for this bear child’s deception!

"Really? Was the black bear as big as a mountain?" Ye Tianchen asked sarcastically.

"How would I know? I was young then, and my father told me!" Little Black Bear bragged and looked at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen was truly amused. Little Black Bear’s ability to concoct nonsense is impressive, combined with his vivid performance; it’s indeed professional. In Ye Tianchen’s view, this isn’t a bear but a performing bear.

"No wonder you oppose it so much. Hey, don’t eat this grilled bear paw anymore, choose another dish!" Liu Rumei glanced at Ye Tianchen, signaling him incessantly.

Ye Tianchen was extremely frustrated, wondering how Liu Rumei, such a beautiful and smart woman, could be hoodwinked by a three-year-old child, truly showing her kindness. He then smiled and said, "Alright, I won’t fuss with this kid; I won’t eat it anymore. I’ll go out and grab something else; people in this restaurant are starting to look at us like we’re freaks!"

"Okay, mainly because this bear child eats too much!" Liu Rumei smiled.

Ye Tianchen, Liu Rumei, and Little Black Bear left their seats and walked to the restaurant entrance, ready to settle the bill. Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man came over, clearly adept at business, with a smile as he addressed Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei: "Sir, Madam, I have an unusual request, hoping you might agree!"

"What is it?" Ye Tianchen asked, bewildered.

"Sir, it’s like this. We noticed your child is so adorable. For the first time, he ate the most at our barbecue, which truly is an honor for us. Therefore, we’d like your child to leave a handprint for us, which could be displayed as a treasure in the restaurant. If you agree, I’ll waive all today’s charges!" The middle-aged man laughed.

"You’re doing business, aren’t you? Trying to use this child’s big eater image to promote how delicious your barbecue is, attracting more customers. Boss, you’ve got a sharp business sense!" Ye Tianchen laughed.

"Haha, Sir, Madam, please help us out. We greatly appreciate it!" The middle-aged man said politely.

Ye Tianchen didn’t expect the barbecue restaurant owner to have such a business acumen. Now, with Little Black Bear consuming so much in their restaurant, everyone witnessed it, not needing any documentation as it would naturally spread widely. Perhaps not nationwide but definitely within a certain range, with no issue. This barbecue restaurant’s business would explode, reaching new heights. The feat of Little Black Bear eating ten servings of grilled beef is indisputable, witnessed by everyone. This news will break out, spreading quickly. If the restaurant retains some of Little Black Bear’s items, its business would soar to unimaginable levels.

"Though it’s a small matter, for a child..." Liu Rumei wanted to consider Little Black Bear’s feelings.

"I agree. But I have one demand!" Little Black Bear said to the middle-aged man.

"What’s your request, little friend? Just tell Uncle!" The middle-aged man smiled.

"I won’t take any reward from you, but from now on, your restaurant’s dishes can’t have the word ’bear’!" Little Black Bear earnestly demanded.

"Oh... this... no problem, no problem; I promise!" The middle-aged man hesitated briefly, then agreed.

No one expected Little Black Bear to make such a request, including Ye Tianchen, who thought this unreliable little bear might ask something quirky. Yet, he was seriously sticking to the ’bear’ word!

For the owner, it was a desirable condition, merely changing a dish name without any loss. As long as the bear child leaves a handprint, attracting curious diners would be his greatest business benefit. He had no reason to refuse!

Soon, Little Black Bear left a three-year-old child’s handprint in the barbecue restaurant and walked out suavely. At that moment, the waitress caught up, handing over a lollipop... (To be continued.
