The Ultimate Litter: A Beast World System Tale novel Chapter 89

“The clothes are dry. You can turn around now!”

Only then did Davy turn back.

Claire scolded him lightly, “You’re really kind of dumb. Why didn’t you just sit down and wait? Standing there the whole time must’ve been exhausting.”

Davy scratched his head. “Uh… I forgot.”

Sigh, such an honest guy.

Claire used a stick to dig through the fire, searching for the sweet potatoes and potatoes/she had tossed in earlier.

A rich, sweet aroma filled the air.

She peeled a sweet potato and handed it to Davy, who was practically drooling.

Davy had already been starving. He grabbed it and devoured it, swallowing it in just a few bites.

Embarrassed, he scratched his head and copied Claire, patting the ash off a roasted potato.

“Huh? This looks a lot like the ground fruit I grow!”

Claire asked curiously, and Davy pointed in a direction. “At the beginning of the warm season, I buried some of these in the open space over there. I found them by accident and called them ground fruit. They look really similar to this, just not as tasty!”

He took a bite of the hot potato and continued, “So this is supposed to be roasted before eating. I always ate

them raw.”

Claire was stunned.

“This is called a potato.”

Rogue beastfolk growing potatoes was one thing, but liking them this much?

“Aren’t you supposed to eat meat?”

Snakes were carnivores, right?

She had never heard of a herbivorous rogue beastfolk.

Davy fidgeted and scratched his head, looking guilty. “I…I don’t like meat. I just like potatoes.”

Seeing Claire’s doubtful expression, Davy straightened his neck and stood up. “If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you.

He grabbed Claire’s wrist and led her straight toward the rocks on the other side of the hot spring.

After going around the rocks, a cave appeared in the cliff.

Chapter 89 A Debt of Potatoes

It was called small, but only compared to a massive titan python. The cave was about six feet wide, eight feet- talk, and 30 feet deep. Inside, it was piled high with sweet potatoes and potatoes of varying quality. Some still had dirt on them, and some had already started sprouting.

“You usually just eat these?”

Claire pointed inside the cave.

Davy nodded honestly, “Yeah. But they don’t really fill me up. No matter how much I eat, I still don’t feel full.”

“You’ve never eaten meat?”

A vegetarian titan python?

Davy lowered his head. “Well… sometimes I do. It’s just that I don’t like eating meat, like other rogue beastfolk. I only hunt when I’m really starving.”

Claire understood.

Davy wanted to change himself and hated his carnivorous nature, but eating only potatoes and sweet potatoes couldn’t fill him up, so he hunted occasionally.

“Then the place where you planted the potatoes and sweet potatoes, is there a really tall tree nearby?”

Claire remembered the scene when she had first found them.

At the time, she had been overwhelmed with excitement. Now that she thought about it carefully, the area around the crops had been full of weeds, but the patch where the potatoes and sweet potatoes grew had been completely clear.

The neat, square plot had obviously been tended by someone.

Could it have been Davy?

Davy answered happily, “Yeah, yeah! I planted them next to that big tree so I wouldn’t lose the spot. Oh right, I think there’s also an abandoned cave nearby.”

Claire broke out in a cold sweat, her face flushing red.

So it really had been Davy’s crops.

She looked at him awkwardly.

He rubbed his chin, thinking. “Later, before the cold season started, I went back to check, but there was nothing left on the ground. The ones I planted in other places were still there though. Heh!”

“Ahem… what if someone stole them?”

Davy didn’t look upset at all. He was still smiling.

“If they took them, then they took them. I still have plenty. That beastfolk was probably hungry.”

Chapter 89 A Debt of Potatoes

Claire thought to herself, hungry was definitely true.

But now, she felt like she owed Davy a huge favor.

Davy walked into the cave, grabbed a handful of potatoes, and held them out to Claire.

“Here, take these back. The roasted potato you gave me earlier was really good. So this is how you’re supposed to eat them.”

Claire carried the pile of potatoes back to the fire.

Davy tossed the potatoes into the fire, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Claire couldn’t help but wonder just how miserable his life had been all these years.

He loved plain roasted potatoes this much. If she added some seasoning, wouldn’t he lose his mind?/

Finished

The moon climbed higher and higher. Claire yawned and asked, “Didn’t Jeffrey bite you earlier? You were poisoned at the time, right?”

“Yeah!”

At the mention of Jeffrey, Davy immediately looked indignant again. His chest rose and fell as he said, “Those awful rogue beastfolk ruined the reputation of all rogue beastfolk! I hate them!”

“But Jeffrey was a king cobra. How did you cure the poison?”

Claire had already guessed, but she still wanted to confirm.

Davy pointed at the hot spring.

“This water can detox poison. I’ve been bitten by snakes before. When I couldn’t handle it, I just soaked in the spring and got better. Jeffrey’s venom was stronger, so I had to soak longer.”

Claire confirmed her guess, and her gaze toward the hot spring grew even more eager.
