As the sunlight gleamed through the cracks of the windows Xiaowei woke up spontaneously. He was so excited to get a companion that he forgot everything that happened yesterday. No matter how serious yesterday was he was still only eight. Furthermore he has seen all his family members having strong pets for companions. His uncle Ming has a seventh tier Dragon hawk. Uncle Lin has a fifth tier shadow mouse and a sixth tier lightning jaguar. The point is every strong warrior must have a strong companion. His father and mother’s companions are still in the family. His father’s companion is an thirteenth tier Qilin that was heavily injured back then and currently still recovering. The same goes for his mother’s fourteenth tier Empress Dragon. His mother’s companion was actually able to turn into human form but currently it is heavenly injured that it will be in deep slumber for sixteen years.

Xiaowei shot out of bed and got ready and was at the door steps. He couldn’t find his uncle in the house but moments later Uncle Ming came through the door.

“Xiaowei you ready?”

“Yes. Uncle.” Xiaowei replied eyes shimmering, “what kind of pets are going to be there?”

“I don’t know. They get new ones every month.”

They both got into the car and Leo drove them to the city. They ate breakfast in the car and discuss all about pets. How strong they were and what pet would be suited for him and such.

About half an hour later they went into the demonic beast pet store. The inside was huge. It was about the same size as football field.

“Welcome to Companions my name is Linmei may I help you with anything?” greeted one of the store workers. She wore a pink t-shirt with the words companion on it and a casual jean. Her looks were about average. Her black hair was tied up into a pony tail.

“Yes” Uncle Ming answered, “my nephew here is looking for a companion. Can you help us look around?”

“Sure no problem right this way please.”

Xiaowei’s eyes were beaming with excitement looking at all the beast in the cages.

“Do you know what kind of companion you would like?”

“Something strong and fearsome at least 7th tier” Xiaowei shouted excitedly.

“Mhmm. Strong and fearsome. Come over here then” Linmei expected these discriptions and directed to follow her.

They took a few turns but eventually arrived in front of a big cage. Inside this cage contained an Earth Python. A seventh tier beast.

Xiaowei looked at it and shook his head. He had a tiny fear of snakes due to past experience with a snake.

“No worries. This whole aisle here, are seventh rank beasts I’m sure you’ll find something you like” she smiled. In her heart she is really saying my god you’re like five years old and you want a strong and fearsome beast that’s in the seventh rank? You’ll end up die before you tame it. Rich kids these days.

Xiaowei looked at the next beast and it was a raptor spider. Xiaowei hated spiders too and moved on to the next cage. After that a rock bear. It was too ugly for Xiaowei. Next was an armadillo scorpion. Xiaowei also said no to that. Xiaowei pretty much hate snakes and bugs. So everything that were bug like were already a no. Snakes were a no too. After looking through every single seventh tier beast there was not a single one Xiaowei liked.

“Do you have any 8th tier beast” Xiaowei asked afterwards.

“Sorry we do not” Linmei replied with a slight irritation. My god this kid. What does he think 8th tier beasts are?” She then began to educate him, “due to an 8th tier beast being too strong we cannot contain them here in these special cages. Only when ordered can we send out hunters to get them.”

“Sorry about that” replied Uncle Ming.

“It’s ok we get a lot of customers that ask that. If you like you can look around and you might catch something you like,” she said gently squatting downing pinching Xiaowei’s chinks.

“Ok miss” answered Xiaowei, “come on uncle lets roam around we might find something. It doesn’t have to be really strong either.”

“Yeah. Strong isn’t always good.”

“Have you ever thought of buying an egg?” suggested Linmei.

“An egg?” questioned Xiaowei.

“Yes. An egg. We have a data base for all the eggs here. Eggs are even better because you can use your blood to sign a contract of equality with them. You will generally feel closer to them than buying beast that is way stronger than you. Even beasts have their pride and won’t willingly summit to a master. They will grow from a childhood to adult and you will be imprinted into their soul. Also, as long as you treat them well they will also protect you with their life. Furthermore if you have a high level of talent the beast inside will fuse with your blood and bring forth a beast with even greater future strength. These beast we have on display are usually brought by people who need protection or cannot take the time to train them.”

“How much are they?” Ming asked.

“Depending on the parents it ranges from 100 qi stone to 20 billion qi stone. Right now our costly egg is 590 million qi stone and it is the rank 127th Opus Griffin that can grow up to be a ninth tier beast with the possibility of being 10th tier if the owner has special blood.”

Xiaowei and Uncle Ming's mouth both literally dropped to the ground. 590 million qi stone? They both thought in their head. What the hell is wrong with them? This is extortion. The Zhang family only had 56 billion in their reserve and each member of the family don’t even make over 50 million a year. That’s twelve years worth of saving. Ming secretly thought in his head if Xiaowei wants it then he will buy it at all cost.

Xiaowei looked at his uncle and thought 590 million is a lot of money. I don’t want to put that kind of burden on his uncle.

“Uncle I’m going to look through the computer for something I like.”

“Sure go ahead.”

“Follow me this way please,” Linmei brought them to a table that has a touch screen hologram in the air.

“The beasts are arranged into categories, of types, hybrids, family and tiers. Also it’s alphabetically listed too. I will be back in a few minutes. Take your time to search.”

Xiaowei sat down on the computer and hit the dragon family button and then hit fire on the screen. 10 different types of fire dragons appeared on the list. These dragons are part of the dragon family but are not true dragons. He hit the Firelord Dragon a dragon hologram appears in the middle of the table. Each stage of the dragon was on the table. They were all had red fish like scales across its body. When it hits the teenage years fire appear around it arms and legs. When it reaches adulthood its whole body and head were cover in flames.

Xiaowei look through the database for hours and hours. He didn’t even know his uncle left and came back with lunch. Even when he was eating he searched through the data base. His brain absorbed every little tiny detail about each demonic beast. A couple more hours few by and still he couldn’t find the ones he like. It was either too ugly, incompatible, or too expensive. He wanted something that looks cool and he can show it off.

Another hour went by and he saw something that caught his attention. A feather like dragon beast called the Jeholornis dragon. It had dragon like features and its arm was fused with the wings. The tail was like a raptor bit it had beautiful feathers at the end. It’s body had green feather while its wings were red and blue. The head has a fusion of dragon and bird.

Xiaowei loved its looks. Linmei notice how excited he looks and came over to help.

“Have you decided on what you would like?” Linmei asked.

“Yes, I want this one” Xiaowei pointed. His Uncle stood to the side a little shocked at his choice.

“Are you sure? The strongest it will get is 5th tier” she said seriously.

“Yes it will be fine. I looked through the entire 7th to 9th tier and there really wasn’t anything I like” Xiaowei answered. In his heart he knew that this little guy would be at least 8th tier when it grows up because he had and Asura body and blood. With his special blood raising it by three tier is no problem and if lucky maybe even 9th tier.

His uncle also knew what he was thinking too but he had a serious expression on his face because the special blood would not only affect him but the beast too. If he goes berserk so will the beast because they would be linked mentality.

“If you want it then I will get it for you. You’re in luck too because that is the only egg we got for this one. It is also a dual element. Fire and water.” she smiled and we to the back to get the egg. A couple minutes later she came back with the egg.

“This egg will be 1000 qi stone.”

The egg had three fire patches on its egg and blue lines circling it. Generally speaking no one can tell the difference between each egg aside from it sides. The element is also always shown on its skin.

Uncle Ming handed her his card and received the egg.

“We have special room if you would like to contract the egg right now” she smiled.
