Chapter 290 Davy Reveals His True Form
Claire kept a straight face as she looked at–Marcus, who was still fast asleep. A tiny line of drool ran fr the corner of his mouth. Judging by the smile on his face, he was having a wonderful dream.
“Don’t ever do that again.”
Zane chuckled under his breath but nodded anyway.
“Okay.”
His long fingers brushed lightly over her body, but Claire quickly caught his hand.
“What are you doing? Marcus is still asleep!”
Zane smiled at her with a teasing look.
“I was only going to give you a massage. Tell me where you’re sore. That’s all. Not what you’re thinking Though if you really wanted more, I wouldn’t mind.”
Claire felt her face grow even hotter.
“No way! I already took a healing pill. I don’t hurt at all anymore.”
Realization crossed Zane’s face.
“So that’s why. Marcus kept talking about our ‘dual cultivation.‘ He said every time you woke up, you looked completely refreshed. He even begged me to teach him how to do it.”
“Dual cultivation?‘ There’s no such magical shortcut. He’s just daydreaming.”
If there really were a perfect shortcut like that, how many people would take the easy way out? Who wou still spend years training the hard way?
Zane’s eyes curved into a smile, one that seemed to carry a deeper meaning.
Then he noticed Claire gently resting a hand on her stomach. A soft, motherly glow lit up her profile.
A thought crossed his mind. “Are you pregnant already?”
Claire nodded.
“Yep. I’m carrying Rufus’s baby. It’s been a little over two weeks.”
Zane’s expression instantly grew serious. He gently placed his warm hand over her stomach, guilt filling \\ his voice.
“I didn’t know you were pregnant. If I had, I never would’ve agreed to Marcus’s idea.”
Claire knew he was worried about the baby, so she quickly reassured him,
“It’s okay. The babies are fine.”

Only then did Zane finally relax.
The two of them carefully lifted Marcus’s arm off Claire and quietly shipped out of bed.
Zane helped Claire put on her fur tunic. The faint red marks scattered across her skin made his face b
More than a few of them were his doing.
Thinking back to the previous night, his feelings were complicated.
Marcus hadn’t been exaggerating. The experience really had been unlike anything else.
But at the same time, he couldn’t help worrying about Claire.
Next time, they’d have to wait until she wasn’t pregnant.
When Claire stepped out of the treehouse, Davy was sprinting across the grass with a crowd of youngli chasing after him.
“Catch him! Hurry! He’s getting away!”
“My turn! Watch me tackle him!”
The little one dove forward but completely missed, landing face–first in the dirt.
Claire could tell Davy was teasing them on purpose. He slowed himself to a crawl. Every time the younglings were about to catch him, he would suddenly dart ahead again.
They chased him all morning but never even managed to touch the tip of his tail.
As soon as they saw Claire and Zane, one of the younglings ran over to complain.
“Daddy! Mommy! That strange beastfolk has to be a bad guy! We woke up this morning, and he was already in our treehouse. We can’t catch him, no matter how hard we try. Daddy, help us catch him!”
Zane’s gaze settled on the little green snake. He was eager to give it a try. He still had no idea how strong Davy really was, and he couldn’t resist the urge to test him himself.
Still, he held himself back. He only turned to the younglings and said, “His name is Davy. He’ll soon become your mommy’s fourth mate. From now on, you should call him Daddy Davy.”
“Huh? Daddy Davy? Is he a daddy too? Then why didn’t he tell us?” the little wolf pup asked with a frustrated pout as he looked at Davy.
Davy burst out laughing.
“If I’d told you, you wouldn’t have dared chase me! So? Was it fun? Want to play some more?”
The wolf pup, fox pup, and panda cub exchanged a quick look. Then, without a word, they all leaped at Davy together.
« little mountain.

But Davy had already appeared on Claire’s shoulder. His tail curled around her shoulder while he lifted head proudly, looking very pleased with himself.
When the younglings found nothing underneath the pile, they immediately realized they’d been tricke
Davy chuckled.
“Listen up, little ones. You need to eat more meat if you want to grow up as big and strong as Daddy Da
“Big and strong?”
