My Beastly Fertility System Chapter 123: Something New

"I wonder how many Ember Fruits I'll need to reach Level 2..."

Claire stared at the 12 Ember Fruits on the table. They had been washed clean. Their smooth skin shone brightly, a deep, eye-catching red.

Ember Fruit carried a warm energy. She had eaten one before, and it didn't harm her. But who knew what would happen if she ate too many?

Still, Claire didn't have many options. She didn't have any training methods or techniques. She couldn't level up through practice. All she could do was improve her body little by little.

Over the past few days, her body had already changed a lot. After constant exercise, she felt stronger. Her stamina improved, and her muscles were more defined.

So now, it was time to test the power of the Ember Fruit.

Pome was still explaining the pros and cons, but Claire had already picked one up and taken a bite.

Sweet. Delicious.

She grabbed another one and held it near Davy's mouth.

"Davy, wake up. Come eat this! If you don't wake up soon, I'll eat them all!"

But Davy didn't move at all.

Claire didn't give up. While eating, she gently pried open his mouth and stuffed a small piece inside. Then she poured in a bit of warm spring water.

"Swallow it. Don't waste it!"

She helped him swallow by hand. After a moment, she saw the small piece slide down his throat. A tiny bump moved slowly along his body.

"As long as you can swallow, that's good!"

Claire felt excited. She fed him nearly half a fruit before stopping.

Davy seemed a little better now. He even slowly turned his head toward the smell of the fruit.

Still, Claire wasn't satisfied. She wrapped him back around her wrist and looked at the table. Only five Ember Fruits were left.

She had eaten six by herself.

After eating six fruits, she didn't feel anything different.

"I'm almost full! Pome, do you think my body is immune now? Maybe the Ember Fruit doesn't work on me anymore!"

"I can't rule that out," Pome replied.

Claire refused to give up. She ate another one. Finally, just as she started to feel sick from eating too much, a warm energy began to build inside her.

That familiar feeling made her instantly excited.

She quickly ate three more. The heat rushed through her veins. Sweat formed near her nose, and her skin turned red.

She couldn't eat any more.

Claire lay down on the bed, feeling the warmth flow through her body again and again.

It didn't feel painful. In fact, during the cold season, it even felt nice. She didn't feel cold at all, even without wearing many layers.

Her mind grew hazy, like she was floating on clouds.

After some time, she slowly came back to her senses.

She checked her body. She had reached Level 2.

Now, she felt full of energy. Her skin looked smoother and brighter. Her features hadn't changed much, but somehow, she looked more attractive overall.

She carried a natural charm now. Her eyes looked clearer and more lively. And there was one more beast mark on her cheek.

Claire quickly covered the mark with powder.

As a Level 1 female, she wasn't that rare. Maybe a little popular in small clans. But a Level 2 female would attract attention everywhere.

In a place like Grimstone, Level 2 females were very rare.

Claire didn't want trouble, so she hid it. She looked at her reflection in the water and nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, she felt something new inside her body. But before she could figure out what it was, she heard a voice outside.

"Claire, are you asleep? I can't sleep... Can I talk to you?"

Marcus stood outside the door. His voice was soft and full of unease.

Claire opened the door. Marcus stood there, and when he heard the sound, he lifted his head toward her.

"Claire!"

"Alright, let's sit over there," she said, pointing to the stone table in the yard.

She walked over and sat down.

Marcus followed easily and sat beside her. Then he asked with concern, "Claire, why do you feel so warm? Are you sick?"

The heat from the Ember Fruit hadn't fully faded yet. Claire felt like a glowing ember. Anyone close to her could feel the warmth.

"I'm fine. What did you want to talk about?"

She quickly changed the topic.

Marcus smiled. "That's good. If you got sick, I'd be really worried. It's nothing big... I just miss my parents."

"What happened to them?" Claire asked.

"Your father was the city lord of Grimstone. He should have been strong, right?"
