My Beastly Fertility System Chapter 122: Breaking News

Claire filled the rest of the empty plots with crops—lettuce, cabbage, spinach, carrots, eggplant, tomatoes. All kinds of vegetables grew there, things this world had never seen before.

Of course, she also planted a patch of cilantro. She loved cilantro. Whether eaten on its own or used as seasoning, it always made food taste better.

Claire even thought, one day, she would plant cilantro all over this world and make every beastfolk fall in love with it.

"I wonder if these seedlings grow, can I move them outside the storage space?"

She watched as the seeds she had just planted sprouted within seconds. Tiny green shoots pushed through the soil. Leaves grew fast, one after another.

Soon, the once empty black soil was covered in fresh green sprouts. In just a few days, she would be able to harvest the first batch.

After harvesting, she could store everything in the preservation space. That way, the food would never spoil.

It was a pity that each section of the storage space was still small.

But there was plenty of room to grow in the future.

Claire then thought of her younglings—her second newborn, and the bird egg that never made it. If they hadn't been eaten by Jeffrey, they could have been safely growing in the living space right now.

Her younglings were gone. But her body still produced milk.

The pressure made her uncomfortable. It felt like two heavy stones were hanging from her chest. Even the slightest touch hurt.

She winced and gently expressed some milk by hand. Only then did she feel a little better.

"Master, if you get pregnant again, the milk will stop," Pome said at the perfect moment.

Claire ignored it.

After fixing her fur tunic, she walked outside.

Marcus was sitting at the stone table in the yard. He tilted his head slightly toward the sun, eyes closed. When he heard Claire's footsteps, his ears twitched, and he turned toward her with a bright smile.

"Claire, you're awake! Did you sleep well?"

Claire nodded, then quickly realized he couldn't see. She added, "I slept well."

She went straight into the kitchen and made a simple breakfast—chicken noodle soup.

Ever since coming to this world, Claire hadn't eaten a proper meal. There were potatoes and sweet potatoes, but to her, those were just vegetables.

Earlier, when she checked her storage space, she found a few bags of noodles. Only then did she remember the system had given them to her.

She quickly took some out and cooked the soup. Just the smell alone made her hungry.

She figured Marcus couldn't see anyway. He wouldn't know what he was eating.

Sure enough, Marcus ate happily. He kept asking what it was made of.

Claire gave him a few vague answers. After finishing her meal, she headed out on her own.

Marcus wanted to follow, but she refused.

She didn't want a repeat of what happened yesterday. She hadn't established herself here yet, and Marcus's situation wasn't very safe either. It was better to keep a low profile.

Claire wandered through the market again. Whenever she saw something she liked, she traded beast meat for it.

After a few days of this, she finally heard some news at a cooked meat stall.

"Hey, did you hear? Jeffrey was taken down by a female!"

Claire froze when she heard that. She quietly moved to the side and listened.

Several beastfolk stood around the stall, chatting.

"A female? What kind of female could do that? Jeffrey is Level 3!"

"So what if he's Level 3? I heard she crushed half his body like it was nothing. They say she's over 15 feet tall in human form, and her arms are thicker than your waist!"

"Wow! A female like that exists? So is Jeffrey dead?"

That was the question everyone cared about most.

Claire straightened up, afraid she might miss a word.

"No idea! Even if he's alive, he's probably half-dead. Half his body's gone, it must look horrible!"

"Why feel sorry for a rogue beastfolk? He deserves to die!"

"Yeah..."

The group slowly walked away. Claire followed for a few steps but didn't hear anything more.

She stopped and frowned. One reason she came to Grimstone was to avoid being hunted by rogue beastfolk. The other was to find out what happened to Jeffrey.

With so many people here, information spread faster.

From what she heard, Jeffrey probably wouldn't dare sneak into Grimstone to capture her.

The beastfolk here hated rogue beastfolk. If he showed up, he would be walking straight into death.

Claire decided to stay in Grimstone for now. She would wait and see before deciding when to head to the eagle clan.

With Zane and Rufus there, she didn't need to worry about the younglings' safety.

At the same time, she needed to grow stronger.

She had gone from Level 0 to Level 1 by accident after eating the Ember Fruit. Even Davy had said that fruit was special.
