Chapter 17: The Little Guy Hatched
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I still have six Demon Pig Crystal Cores in my hands, so I can still transform another six Demon Rats into Demon Pigs.”
After dividing the three demon pigs, Joseph carried the demon pig meat back to the hut in batches.
He took out a lighter and lit a fire. Then, he placed the selected Demon Pig Meat on the grill and slowly flipped it. When he was roasting it, the little guy rolled to his side.
“Little guy, do you want some?”
Joseph turned his head, looked at the little guy who was rolling on the ground, and asked with a chuckle.
“Boink, boink!”
Hearing Joseph’s teasing words, the little guy suddenly jumped on the ground angrily.
Joseph did not restrain himself at all when he saw the little guy’s angry look. Instead, he laughed even more carefreely.
“If you want to eat, jump out. As long as you can hatch from the egg, you can eat as much as you want!”
Joseph pointed at the pile of Demon Pig Meat in the corner and said very generously. Even flames could not damage the eggshell. He did not believe that the little guy could hatch by himself.
Moreover, the little guy was a pocket-sized Demon Beast Egg. Even if it could eat, how much could it eat?
Just as Joseph was feeling happy from teasing the little guy, the little guy suddenly jumped into the fire.
This made Joseph jump.
Could it be that the little guy’s heart was so weak?
Just because of his teasing, it could not help but want to jump into the Flames and burn himself?
Although he knew that the fire from the barbecue did not cause much harm to the little guy, Joseph still hurriedly tried to pull the little guy out of the fire.
However, just as he got up, the fire from the grill dimmed and rushed toward the little guy at a considerable speed.
“Crack!”
The little guy’s eggshell kept making cracking sounds as the fireworks condensed. The cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the eggshell.
“It hatched just like that?”
Joseph looked at the little guy’s abnormal eggshell and subconsciously stopped his footsteps. He felt that this was the little guy’s method of hatching itself.
“Puff!”
The fire that was still burning just a moment ago was suddenly extinguished, leaving behind an eggshell full of cracks under the barbecue grill.
“Little guy, are you done?”
Joseph squatted in front of the eggshell and stretched out his hand to gently pat the eggshell. However, just as he put his hand on it, he felt an astonishing temperature, which made him quickly withdraw his hand.
“It seems that I can finally taste the taste of the Magical Beast Egg tonight. I wonder if I should put some chili or salt on it?”
Joseph was deep in thought as he looked at the eggshell, muttering to himself.
“Crack!”
With a crack, the eggshell broke open and a pure white figure pounced onto Joseph’s head.
“Little guy, you’re not obedient at all!”
Joseph, who was already prepared, reached out his hand and lifted the little guy in the air. He gently shook the little guy that had just hatched and looked at it carefully.
“It’s not a Magical Chicken or a Magical Duck, but a greedy little kitten!”
Joseph looked at the little guy that was baring its fangs and claws at him and said in confusion, “I don’t know if cat meat is good or not. Why don’t I take this opportunity to taste it?”
“Meow!”
Seeing that Joseph did not look like he was joking, the little guy suddenly became obedient. His pink little tongue kept licking Joseph’s palm.
“Hey, do you dislike me? Jeez!”
Joseph put the little guy beside him and tore a piece of the roasted Demon Pig Meat and put it in the little guy’s mouth.
“This is good stuff!”
Joseph was not joking because it was roasted on the perfect grill. This time, a random attribute appeared.
[High-Quality Roasted Demon Pig Meat: after being cooked on the perfect grill, the effect of Fire Resistance + 1]
“Meow!”
The little guy did not hold back at all when Joseph threw the meat into his mouth. It directly swallowed the warm Demon Pig Meat into its stomach.
The little guy’s eyes immediately brightened as it tasted the delicious Demon Pig Meat.
It slowly stood up and took the opportunity when Joseph was not paying attention to put the uncooked Demon Pig Meat into the barbecue grill in the fireplace.
Before Joseph could speak, the little thing opened its mouth and a ball of fire immediately lit up the barbecue grill again.
“Meow, Meow! !”
The little thing looked at the burning flame and jumped up and down happily. It had no idea how much of a shock its actions had brought to Joseph.
“This is a cat that knows magic?”
Joseph kept looking at the flames and the little guy, trying to find out what was so special about this greedy little guy.
Perhaps it felt Joseph’s gaze, the little guy turned its head innocently and looked at the big guy who had been bullying it.
“Meow!”
[This is my roasted meat, it’s not for you!]
For some reason, Joseph actually understood what it meant and reached out to carry the little fellow up again.
“From today onwards, you are Emperor Joseph’s temporary royal chef. If you want to eat good roasted meat, you have to be obedient. Otherwise, Emperor Joseph won’t mind bullying a gluttonous little fellow like you!”
“Meow!”
[Annoying big guy, when I grow up, I’ll definitely make you pay back!]
The little guy bared its fangs and its claws at Joseph, constantly threatening him. However, coupled with his silly and cute appearance, not only did it not pose any threat, but it gave Joseph a greater sense of achievement.
“Then I will be waiting for you. But now, obediently go and roast meat for me!”
Placing the little guy in front of the grill, Joseph leaned on the bed with ease, quietly waiting for the imperial kitty chef to cook the barbecue.
“With this little guy as a portable lighter, I don’t have to worry about the source of the fire anymore!”
Joseph looked at the little guy who was constantly flipping the grill, and the corner of his mouth inadvertently revealed a faint smile.
Although Joseph was very surprised that the little guy could control the flames, he was actually happy because he would not be alone in the future. With the company of this little guy, he could imagine that the days in the future would be full of fun.
“Meow!”
[Lazy guy, you can only eat a little of this fragrant roasted meat. The rest is mine, do you know that?]
“Don’t even dream about it. If you want to eat roasted meat, then rely on your own abilities!”
Joseph got off the bed and directly grabbed the roasted meat. This provoked the little fellow to pounce on him in exasperation.
“Meow!”
[Bastard!]
