5 A Beast Or Human?

After about half an hour, Junfang woke up to see the little girl on his lap with tears in her eyes and was worried "W-why are you crying?"

The little girl almost balled her eyes out as she said "Papa, did you faint cause I can speak, sorry Papa, I just wanted to help Papa"

Junfang felt a little guilty but it wasn't his fault, who would be able to face a two year old talking like a fifteen year old and still be calm, it was literally impossible but still tried to console her "No no it's not like that, Papa fainted cause Papa was tired, Papa is very happy that you can talk"

The little girl looked up at him and asked "Really?"

Junfang smiled and rubbed her head "Do you have a name?"

She shaked her head "No Papa should name me"

Junfang thought about it and looked at her bright blue hair and golden brown eyes then thought about how she turned from an unsuspecting rock into a person suddenly "How about Liwu?"

She was very happy and started clapping in joy "Liwu! Liwu! I have a name now"

Junfang then asked "Liwu do you know your origins, why were you disguised as a rock in front of the gate and what exactly are you?"

Liwu tilted her head as she put on a serious face trying to remember stuff "All I know is my mommy was biologically created in some kind of lab and I was born a rock so the man threw me out and killed my mother when she resisted, he keeps other beasts there for biological mutation and experiments at least that's what mommy said"

Junfang was shocked when he heard that "Okay okay then what about what kind of beast you are, did your mum tell you?"

Liwu nodded "Mum said I was asexually reproduced by her or something like that and we are Cobalt Living Rock which are one of the many subspecies of the Stone Mei Dusi but we don't have snakes for hair like that her sister who is the Stone Medusa but they both possess same powers but Mei Dusi is still stronger than Medusa cause of an unknown ability she possesses

She also said that our specie is one of those with the highest probability of becoming the main specie Stone Mei Dusi"

Junfang was shocked cause he had heard about Mei Dusi before, she was of both land and water like her sister, they were exactly the same except she was stronger and could control her petrify eyes furthermore they said she could even petrify the soul and there was still an unknown ability no one knew except her and her people who had become human like her

But everyone knew she had it and it was strong but no one knew what it was and the Stone Meimei lips were sealed tight

(Stone Meimei is the name of those rocks who could become human like her)

Junfang was confused though as to why a mother would tell her child all these things when she's only two years old "How old are you?"

Liwu counted her fingers and said "I will turn two hundred and eight this year but in human terms, am only two and our specie are smarter than human but not all of our specie can turn to a human when still young, most others could only turn into a human when reached the age of five hundred"

Junfang scratched his head in embarrassment while thinking 'Seems I have a goodluck charm, if Huqia hadn't slapped me, I would have never even noticed the rock'

He patted her head "Liwu, did your mother tell you about your abilities?"

Liwu happily said "Well, we only have two while we are in first tier and we gain one ability every level as am still a low level beast, I only have two abilities then when am middle level it will become three

My abilities are that I can control rocks and can heal a person who is on the verge of death by turning them back to their pure form but with no resemblance to the previous body"

Junfang was confused when he heard that "Pure form? By that you mean?"

Liwu smiled "A kid between the ages two and seven, this ability cannot be improved and also I can only heal a person who is about to die and not someone who is just severely injured, there is also a chance for the person to either become an imbecile or gain total memory loss, it's one of the two"

Junfang was amazed "That's all the disadvantages?"

Liwu shaked her head "No, there's one more, I can only use it once a year while am still in low level, twice a year when I reach middle level and so on like that"

Junfang shrugged and said "It's still pretty OP though but how do you level up to second tier?"

Liwu placed a finger on her chin with a serious face "My mum said something about absorbing more rocks but not just any rock, it has to be something that is blue and similar to a rock but also not a rock, it hangs on trees"

Junfang started searching for it on his watch and found something then showed her the picture "Do you mean the Sly Stone Fruit?"

Liwu nodded excitedly "Yes, it looks like this, it's very yummy and sweet, mommy fed me one once, it takes ten to reach second tier, twenty for third tier, forty for fourth tier, eighty for fifth tier and so on like that and also I only need nine more to reach second tier!"

Junfang searched for it's location and it's only found in a certain hard class space crack which he can't go to fight now with his weak strength so he decided to find out it's price and where it's sold

Junfang almost fell to the ground when he saw the price "One fruit is a freaking hundred million!! For what! Ahh why is it so expensive"

Liwu said meekly "Papa doesn't have to buy it now, am not in a hurry to level up anyways"

Junfang swiped the screen to main page and patted her head "Don't worry, Liwu, I will get the fruit for you when I have money, all I have to do is get some beast cores and sell them, you should go to sleep now"

Liwu nodded then she watched as Junfang brought out a thick blanket and a pillow out of his backpack then tucked her in and kissed her forehead goodnight

After Junfang had assured that Liwu was asleep, he brought out a few of his clothes, a lighter blanket and a needle and thread so he could make a few clothes for Liwu to wear and a small backpack to carry Liwu in his front as he couldn't put her in his backpack which was a cover for his void space where he kept his food and clothes

The next morning when Junfang woke up, he suddenly remembered the purple fruit he picked yesterday and decided to scrutinize it first

He brought it out of his void space and was wondering if he could eat it but was also worried that if he did and it was poison then he would be over

He decided to test it on an animal, he went out of the cave and found a bird flying across then he grabbed it instantly and went back in

He was about to break a piece of the purple eye fruit but stopped as he decided to just search it's characteristics on the net maybe he would find what it actually is but still held the weird bird down first incase he didn't find it

After searching for a purple eye fruit, he saw many pictures and found one that looked like the one in his hand, it was called Sentience Fruit fed to beasts for them to gain intelligence, there different types of as the sentience fruit with one pupil gives little intelligence equivalent to a five year old, two pupils gives intelligence equivalent to a ten year old, three pupils gives intelligence equivalent to a fifteen year old and so on

Junfang looked at the fruit and saw that it had two pupils, he was overjoyed and started thinking about which beast he should give it to

Junfang looked at the red scaled bird in his grip and decided to contract it first before feeding it the fruit 'Xiaohua is still very young and phantom foxes gain intelligence on their own, Liwu is already smart and as for this bird here, I guess it would be good for scouting'

Junfang decided to contract it first before feeding it the fruit incase it ran away after gaining intelligence

A small hand grabbed his fingers and Liwu who had apparently already woken up said to him "Papa, I want to be your second beast after her"

Junfang stared at her in shock "H-how do you know that I already contracted a beast?"

Liwu was surprised "Papa already has a beast?"

When he heard, he suddenly realized that the bird was a female too then he understood what Liwu said

He held the struggling bird with one hand and bit his finger and used his other hand to draw the rune above Liwu's head, after he was done, the silver spiral appeared on her forehead then disappeared afterwards

Suddenly a phenomenon happened in the air as Liwu grew taller and levelled up to the second tier in one go

Both Junfang and Liwu were dumbfounded as Liwu said "Papa, it felt as if I ate eleven fruits now I only need eighteen more fruits to reach third tier! Wow! Papa is so cool!"

Junfang smiled and patted her head but he wasn't shocked about Liwu gaining a level as that was a normal thing for the contract since both beast and master gain more power but he wondered why Xiaohua didn't level up when he contracted her then thought maybe she needed more power than normal beasts to level up

Then Junfang did the same process to the bird, although it wanted to go against the contract, the contract power overpowered its will then he completed the contracting and the bird stopped struggling

Junfang then released his grip and fed the bird the fruit, then the after it finished eating the fruit

It said in a sharp excited female voice "Wow, this thing is surprisingly delicious, aii, master do you have any more? Am starving and haven't eaten in weeks"

Junfang fainted again and Liwu sighed at her Papa's weak shock absorber

The bird flew to Liwu "Liwu.. no big sister Liwu, why did master faint?"

Liwu said "Papa is tired, we should wait for him to wake up"

The bird landed beside Junfang head and said "Okay, we'll wait when he wakes up, I hope he gives me food cause am starving"

About half an hour later, Junfang woke up to find a worried Liwu beside him

When Liwu noticed that he was awake, she didn't wait for him to speak before pointing and hurriedly saying "Papa, look the bird ate something and grew a meter tall and half a meter in width, it's bigger than it's previous size now"

When Junfang sat up and turned around, he saw the bird looking back at him with a half eaten leaf and it said "Master, don't get angry, I was only hungry so I thought it was edible well it is and I still have two more, does master want?"

Junfang called the bird over "Little bird, next time, you ask me first, what if it was poison"

The bird was confused "What is poison"

Junfang said "Poison is something that you eat which kills you, you die bam darkness everywhere"

The bird was terrified and promised not to eat anything it finds immediately without asking first

Junfang patted her head which was the only place with feathers then he collected the two and a half leaves to find out the characteristics and search it online

After careful observation of one the leaves, it was dark orange with green stars all over one side and on the other side light orange and dark green circles, a very weird leaf that it almost didn't feel like one but he still searched for its name and functions anyways

He found out that it was called Spring Break Leaf and it was for birds and reptiles only, for a bird, it can only eat one leaf in its life but it will increase by two tiers no matter its specie and for a reptile, it can only eat one in its life but it increases by three tiers

Junfang sighed in relief as he gave the bird the half eaten leaf back "Luckily, the leaf isn't poisonous, little bird finish your leaf while I keep the remaining leaves"

The bird happily received the leaf and continued eating it while Junfang searched for the price of the leaf online maybe he could sell it

What he saw almost made him burst into tears "One leaf is a freaking ten million, ahh am gaining money little by little"

He patted the head of the bird and said "I haven't named you yet, how about Haoyun?"

The bird chirped excitedly "Haha, my name is Haoyun now!"

Junfang then brought out food from his backpack and ask Liwu first "Do you eat other food other than Sly Stone Fruit?"

Liwu nodded "I do especially sweet stuff"

Junfang smiled and said "You mean candies well lucky you, I got some right here but it's not good to eat candy in the morning, I'll give you after you finish breakfast"

Then he gave her a container filled with rice omelette and she started eating

He faced Haoyun "Do you eat human food or one specific type of food?"

Haoyun said cheerfully "I eat anything and everything"

Junfang laughed "True since you could eat leaf also"

Then he brought out another container with grilled fish and handed it over to her

Haoyun squealed in elation "Ahh, fish, my favourite!"

Junfang then asked "Haoyun, what tier were you before you ate the leaf and what tier are you now after eating it?"

Haoyun said in between bites "Before eating... I was... at second tier... after eating it am... now at fourth tier... am... a middle level... beast now"

Junfang decided to let her finish her food first before asking his other question then he took out another container that had scallion pancakes

After the three were done eating, Junfang asked Haoyun "What abilities do you have?"

Haoyun replied with pleasure "Well, I had two abilities while I was still in low level but now I have three, they are scouting sense, mist form and the one I just got is super speed"

Junfang was happy when he heard the last one then asked "What specie are you?"

Haoyun said with pride while spreading her wings as Liwu clapped delightfully "Am an hybrid of the Water Wyvern and Sonic Hawk that's why am so pretty"

Junfang was puzzled "But Water Wyverns are blue and Sonic Hawks are yellow, is it because you're an hybrid that you became red?"

Haoyun unhappily folded her wings to cover her head while mumbling "How would I know why am red? I didn't ask my parents to be of wrong colour, don't scold like am a bride wearing the wrong colour also the feathers on my head are blue now so stop being so mean"

Junfang stroked her head and said "Red is a very nice colour on you, it's so bright and pretty"

Haoyun raised her head in doubt "Really?"

Liwu nodded "Truly Haoyun! Very pretty"

Haoyun stood up back and said "Master, I heard you mention Sly Stone Fruit, I know where it is"

Junfang took out a dress and underwear he made for Liwu as he wore "In a hard class space crack, I know"

Haoyun giggled "Looks like master doesn't know there is a secret cove where a sly stone tree in this world, only me knows it cause I stumbled on it by chance but there is a very strong big guy over there, I couldn't get a closer to see how many though.."

Junfang asked "What tier do you think the beast is?"

Haoyun thought carefully "It was very strong and I think it had two colours but I don't know what type of beast it is"
