The Ultimate Litter: A Beast World System Tale novel Chapter 343

Curiosity stirred within Claire, and she cautiously stepped closer.

The little figure behind the tree turned, peeking back out.

A nine-tailed fox youngling!

Wary of startling it, Claire kept her voice soft.

“Little one, why are you here all alone? Where are your mom and dad?”
