Bab 1149: Good boy

"Little Fatty, give that egg back to this Lord. For this red-robed human's sake, I won't make a fuss about you stealing the egg."

"This egg…"

He touched the egg in his arms reluctantly, took it out and placed it on his palm and was about to hand it out albeit with some unwillingness. But, he heard a sudden cracking sound and instinctively looked down.

He saw that there was a thin fissure on the egg. With the snap, a small head came out of the eggshell. It was a wet little thing, looking like a newly hatched chick. Suddenly, the little thing pecked his finger with its sharp beak until the finger oozed blood.

"Ah!"

Startled, he pulled back his hand and the little thing, as well as the eggshell, fell to the ground. The little thing jumped out of the eggshell, flapped its wings that had only some fine hairs, and then ate the eggshell.
