The Ultimate Litter: A Beast World System Tale novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247 A Better Future

“Claire, how could you even think that? That’s ridiculous! How could possibly like her? What in th goes on in that head of yours?”

Claire had only been testing him just now. She hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from Rufus. rejection on his face had been so obvious that there was no way she could miss it.

“Then why do you look like you have so much on your mind?”

Rufus fell silent for a moment before finally gathering his courage.

“Claire, I… I have to leave you!”

“What?” Claire’s pupils suddenly contracted. For a moment, she thought she had misheard him!

She had just confirmed that Rufus had no romantic interest in Gillian. Had she really been proven wr so quickly?

The bitterness in her heart hadn’t even had time to spread before Rufus’s next words immediately mel it away.

Rufus said, “Claire, don’t misunderstand. There’s no way I could ever leave you in this lifetime!”

“Then what did you mean?” Claire blinked innocently as she asked, completely unable to guess what he was getting at.

“When I said leave, I didn’t mean really leave. You know that I’m only Level 2 right now, while Zane and Marcus are already Level 3. I can’t let them leave me behind. So I’m going to train in the Sacred Grounds

“Train? Sacred Grounds?”

Claire’s curiosity was immediately piqued. Was it what she thought it was?

In all those novels from her previous life, the male lead would enter a secret realm, find all kinds of rare treasures, dramatically increase his strength, and come out powerful enough to crush anything in his path.

Could the Beast World really have a place like that?

Rufus nodded.

“Yeah. It’s the Sacred Grounds of the Eagle Clan. Every year, a group of beastfolk is chosen to enter and train there. I used to be arrogant and thought I was already strong enough, so I never bothered going Bit now… for you, I have to go.”

His eyes looked straight ahead, filled with determination, as if he had already made up his mind.

Claire leaned her head against his chest. The steady thump of his heartbeat traveled through the warmth of his body and into her ears, bringing her a strange sense of peace and comfort.

“Will it be dangerous? Rufus, honestly, I don’t care what level you are. You’re still you. I like you for who you are, whether you’re Level 2 or Level 32

come home.”

Rufus immediately lowered his head and stared at the smiling female in his arms, his eyes

with joy.

“Really? Claire, are you serious? We’re going to have younglings again?”

“Of course it’s true! And quite a few of them too! You’d better be ready. It’s best if you come back before they’re born. Otherwise, I won’t be hatching eggs for you!”

Tears of excitement filled Rufus’s eyes. He was going to have younglings again!

“Claire, thank you! Becoming your beast mate was the best decision I’ve ever made! I’ll work hard and try to come back within a month.”

A month later, his and Claire’s younglings should be born.

He wanted to witness that moment with his own eyes. He wanted to personally protect Claire and their younglings and never allow the tragedy from the previous clutch to happen again.

ľ Claire wrapped her arms around his lean waist. Without a trace of excess weight, it felt incredibly strong and powerful.

As her thoughts wandered, her face gradually turned red…

Rufus was so caught up in his happiness that he temporarily forgot the pain of parting. By the time they reached the fork in the road, he faced it with optimism instead of the anxiety and heaviness he had felt

earlier.

All that remained was anticipation and hope for the future ahead.

Standing at the fork, Rufus gave Claire one final fierce kiss before rising into the air under the gaze of all the beastfolk and flying toward the path on the left

Zane spoke in his usual gentle tone. “Come back alive.

Marcus added, “I’ll take care of Claire for your share too.”

Sitting on the silver wolf’s back, Claire waved at the departing Rufus.

This separation was only so they could reunite under better circumstances later. She wouldn’t try to stop him. She wouldn’t become a burden holding him back.

What she needed to do was wait. Wait for him to return. Wait for him to walk into the future together with

all of them.

Claire watched as Rufus shifted into his gyrfalcon form and soared into the sky. A fur pouch hung around his neck, stuffed full of items Claire had taken from her storage space, including a lighter, healing pills, salt, and all kinds of miscellaneous supplies, along with a sword.

That sword had also been a system reward when Rufus’s younglings were born.

Thinking about the dangers Rufus would soon face, she had decisively given it to him.
