The Ultimate Litter: A Beast World System Tale novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Alone Time

Garen sprang out of the well and looked at Claire gratefully.

Finist

“Thank you. You truly are the Beast God in the flesh! Our lynx clan will never forget what you’ve done fo

us!”

Claire waved him off. It had barely taken any effort and wasn’t worth making such a fuss over.

Still, she knew that once these beastfolk learned how to dig wells, their chances of survival would improv

When they returned to the clan, Garen immediately shared the good news with his people, and everyon began discussing how they could properly repay Claire.

Matilda had already led the female beastfolk in cutting up and roasting the musk ox before distributing the meat to everyone.

Eva had just picked up the best piece of roasted meat when Burrow stopped her.

“Eva, let me do it. I’ll take the roasted meat to Claire.”

Eva gave him a suspicious look, but after hesitating for only a few seconds, she found her hands empty.

Burrow carried the roasted meat to the stone house where Claire was staying. Before knocking, he cleare his throat and straightened his fur tunic.

At that moment, Claire was inside playing with the younglings while Marcus and Zane cooked in a stone pot over the nearby fire.

Marcus’s ears suddenly twitched. Seeing that Claire/was completely absorbed in playing with the younglings, he nudged Zane in the side and whispered, “Zane, are you seriously not going to reconsider what I suggested before?”

Zane, who was usually calm and composed, suddenly flushed. His wolf ears drooped halfway as he glanced at Claire, his gaze turning heated.

In the end, he still shook his head.

“Forget it. Even if I agreed, Claire never would.”

Marcus pouted and continued trying to persuade him.

“Then why don’t you test the waters tonight when you’re keeping her bed warm?”

Before Zane could answer, Burrow’s voice came from outside the stone house.

“Claire, Zane, Young Lord Holland, are you in there?”

Annoyed at being interrupted before he got the answer he wanted, Marcus walked outside and snapped, “Stop calling me Young Lord Holland. I’m not the city lord of Grimstone anymore!”

Burrow immediately shrank back at the rebuke and stammered, “Th-then may I call you Marcus?”

“Yeah.” Marcus sniffed the air, caught a delicious scent, and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Burrow lifted the roasted meat in his hands, then remembered Marcus couldn’t see and quickly expla “I brought you some roasted meat. Is Claire here?”

Marcus immediately understood. Burrow clearly had an ulterior motive.

Bringing the roasted meat was only an excuse. He had really come to see Claire.

Another rival had appeared.

Displeased, Marcus snatched the roasted meat from his hands and turned back toward the stone house

“You can leave it here. Thanks!”

Burrow was disappointed that he hadn’t gotten to see the person he wanted, but he calmly turned and walked away.

Eva came over and teased him.

“Burrow, do you have feelings for Claire?”

As she spoke, she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

Her teasing immediately chased away Burrow’s disappointment. He affectionately patted the back of he head and said, “You’re still young. You wouldn’t understand.”

Then he walked away and headed toward the beastfolk gathered around the fire, processing the musk ox

Eva planted her hands on her hips and protested, “I’m already an adult, Burrow! I understand everything

She shook her head, noticed something strange behind her, and reached up to touch it. Only then did sh realize that her two rabbit ears had been tied together in a bow.

“Burrow!”

The siblings’ laughter immediately rang out beside the fire.

Claire heard them laughing from a distance and thought the lively atmosphere made the clan feel much warmer. She took the piece of roasted meat Zane had cut for her and eagerly bit into the fragrant beef.

The younglings had already started trying small pieces of cooked meat. Marcus had cut plenty of tiny chunks and placed them in front of them, and the little ones were eating with great enthusiasm.

Claire reminded them with a smile, “Slow down. Chew before you swallow, or you’ll choke.”

But they seemned to have been born craving meat. No matter how large the pieces were, they chewed them up and swallowed without getting stuck at all.

Claire couldn’t help marveling at how naturally hardy beastfolk younglings were. Human babies their age, barely over a month old, would still be drinking nothing but milk..

Chapter 257 Alone Time

The younglings hadn’t been weaned yet, but Claire no longer nursed them herself. She had left everyth to her two beast mates, who fed them formula.

However, with Matilda and the other beastfolk around, they always prepared the formula in secret or c up with an excuse, such as claiming it was milk from a nursing wild animal they had caught.

Zane’s eyes had been shining the entire tine. He kept looking at Claire expectantly, his wolf ears standi straight up as he watched her intently.

Claire couldn’t help laughing and crooked a finger at him.

“Zane, let’s go.”

There were still plenty of empty stone houses. Claire had already chosen one that was fairly clean and a little farther from the center of the clan, so no one would hear anything during the night and make thin

awkward.
