The Ultimate Litter: A Beast World System Tale novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Evening Primrose

“Garen… from now on.. you’ll be… the new… clan chief… You must protect… the evening primrose…”

With that, the elderly beastfolk’s head fell to the side, and his eyes closed for good.

Garen broke down sobbing, clutching the old beastfolk’s hand and refusing to let go for a long time.

Zane had long since grown accustomed to life and death, but even he felt a pang of sorrow at how frag life could be.

Ordinary beastfolk without a level made up the vast majority of the beast world. Ranked beastfolk wer still only a small minority.

The beast world was far too cruel to ordinary beastfolk like them.

The moment Claire heard the elderly beastfolk’s final words, her eyes lit up. She hurried forward, grabl Garen’s arm, and asked urgently, “Your clan has evening primrose?”

Tears still streaked Garen’s face as he nodded.

“Yes. Evening primrose is the only valuable thing our lynx clan has. We’ve survived by trading it to other clans for supplies.”

Claire was thrilled.

“Can I trade you for some? I can give you as much meat as you want!”

Garen hesitated.

“You saved our entire clan. How could we possibly accept meat from you? It’s just that we’ve all been too weak from hunger to even walk lately, so no one has tended the evening primrose. I don’t know if it has all withered.”

Claire wasn’t discouraged at all. She and Rufus had searched for so many days without finding a single evening primrose. Even the slightest chance was worth pursuing.

“That’s fine. Once you’ve recovered, you can take me there. Or, if it’s easier, just tell me where it grows, and I’ll gather it myself.”

Garen shook his head.

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. The place where the evening primrose grows is extremely difficult to find. Without someone from our clan leading the way, an outsider would never locate it.”

“In that case, once you’ve recovered, just have one beastfolk guide me.”

Claire made up her mind that she had to find some trace of evening primrose here. Ideally, she would collect one or two whole plants. Then Marcus’s eyes might finally be healed.

Marcus and Zane both looked at Claire in confusion, wondering why she was so excited.

Realizing they still didn’t know what evening primrose could do, Claire quickly pulled them out of the stone house and explained in a low voice.

Zane took the news calmly

Marcus was so happy that he pressed himself against Claire and wrapped both arms around her waist.

“Claire, you’ve been thinking about this the whole time. I’m really touched!”

His curly hair tickled Claire’s neck, and she kept trying to dodge him.

“Of course. I’m sure you want to see your beastlings again too. But don’t celebrate too soon. Let’s wait u we actually find the evening primrose.”

“Mm-hmm. You’re the best! Tonight, I’m going to cuddle with you and keep your bed warm!”

Zane raised an eyebrow and fixed his gaze on Claire.

The hopeful look in his eyes softened Claire’s heart. She quickly pushed the clingy Marcus away, escape to Zane’s side, and took his arm.

“Zane should stay with me tonight.”

It had been far too long since she and Zane had been intimate. Rufus had monopolized her before, and now that he was gone, by any reasonable count, it was Zane’s turn.

Marcus stopped pestering her after hearing that. He simply nodded happily.

“Fine! I can tell Zane’s been desperate for a long time.”

Then he covered his mouth and snickered.

Zane’s cheeks reddened slightly, but the arm around Claire didn’t loosen at all.

Claire breathed in Zane’s fresh scent and felt a little intoxicated, but then something tickled her wrist.

Davy’s voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

“Did you forget what you promised me?”

His deep, powerful voice sounded aggrieved as he rubbed his little head against her wrist over and over.

Claire hurried to reassure him in her mind.

“How could I? Bonding with you is a big deal, so of course, we need to choose a good day. We’ve been traveling nonstop these past few days, and I’m exhausted. I just haven’t had the energy. Don’t worry. I definitely remember.”

Davy believed her without question, and delight entered his voice.

“So that’s why! You really care that much about me, huh? Then I’ll wait. I also need to prepare a gift for you so I can give it to you on the day of our bonding.”

Finis

Claire was curious about the gift he mentioned. Davy might be a drake, but his current body was so tiny that he had nowhere to hide anything. What kind of gift could he possibly have?

She assumed Davy was just saying that and didn’t give it much thought.

Claire discussed the situation with Matilda, who agreed that they should stay with the lynx clan for a wh They might even be able to find beastfolk willing to take in the other females.

As the new clan chief personally chosen by the elderly chief before his death, Garen responsibly gathere all his clansmen into a few stone houses, which also made it easier to continue treating them.

Some of the beastfolk had gone hungry for so long that their digestive systems had been badly damaged They couldn’t move around normally yet and could only lie in bed while the other beastfolk cared for them and brought them three meals a day.

Claire didn’t want the other beastfolk to learn about her storage space, so she used hunting with Zane as a excuse. Once they were far enough away, she could simply take meat from her storage space and carry it back to the clan.

There wasn’t even any water near the clan, and the entire area was dry and yellow. There was no chance of finding prey nearby.

Garen stood up.

“Zane, I’ll go with you. I may not be very strong, but we can’t keep expecting you to feed us.”

Claire knew he had his pride, but if he came with them, she wouldn’t have a chance to take meat out of he

storage space.

She had plenty of supplies stored inside, more than enough to feed the entire clan for a long time, especially since the clan was so small.

So she turned him down as tactfully as possible.

“Garen, you should stay here and rest. I know you still haven’t fully recovered. You don’t need to worry about food or water. Just consider these supplies payment for the evening primrose.”

“But… you can have the evening primrose. As much as you want. I already told you there’s no need to give us anything in return.”

Garen looked embarrassed. Even though his body was still weak, he wanted to do something for the clan instead of relying entirely on outsiders.

Marcus finally lost patience. He placed a hand on Garen’s shoulder and lightly pushed hiru back onto the stone bench.

“Claire already told you what to do, so just listen to her!”

All this back-and-forth was getting on his nerves.

He had to stay behind and watch the younglings anyway.

At that moment, the younglings were already racing all over the clan.

The clan wasn’t large, but it was surrounded by stone walls on every side. There was hardly any clutter inside, making it the perfect place for the younglings to run and play.

Garen had no choice but to stay, though he thanked Claire and Zane over and over again.
