My Beastly Fertility System Chapter 142: Danger Approaches
So, there were actually beastfolks who were good at farming?
What a strange world!
Davy tilted his little head and thought for a moment.
"Uverplain. I heard about it from other wandering beastfolks before."
"Uverplain?"
Claire repeated the name a few times. When she asked for more details, Davy didn't know anything else.
That only made her even more interested!
She remembered the name and decided she had to visit it someday.
After resting, Davy looked much better, but he still couldn't transform into human form. He could only stay in his current beast form—a small, cute green snake.
"Female, are you sure your belly won't burst?"
"No, it won't. Don't worry!"
Davy asked this every time he woke up, as if she were extremely fragile.
Actually, she felt like a strong young calf right now, even while carrying babies!
Since she reached Level 1, she hadn't gotten sick once, and she didn't even feel tired. This showed her body had truly made a huge improvement.
Later, when she reached Level 2, her health took another big leap. She was now as strong as Level 1 male beastfolks, though in terms of fighting skills, she still couldn't beat them.
But that was already very good. Compared to most females in the beast world, she felt much stronger than them!
This was all thanks to the Ember fruits!
Thanks to Davy, who brought her the fruit that let her level up quickly and without pain!
"Mr. Davy, do you want some fruit? Eating more should help you recover faster!"
After all, every time she satisfied her cravings, she felt refreshed and full of energy!
Davy shook his head.
"I'm not interested. I am a drake now. I don't need to eat often. As long as you put me under the moonlight every night to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, I can recover."
"Why didn't you say that earlier..." Claire mumbled quietly.
Davy lifted his little head and looked around the room, then asked curiously, "Where is your beast mate?"
"He went out for something."
Davy's deep voice sounded a bit unhappy.
"You're about to give birth, and he just leaves? That's not right! Female, if he's threatening you, just blink once! I can help you find a better and stronger mate!"
Claire didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, she kept her eyes wide open, not daring to blink even once.
Davy really had too much hostility toward Marcus!
But Claire didn't hate Davy's blunt personality at all. Fearing he would keep misunderstanding, she quickly explained, "His family is in danger, so he had to go. I'm fine. Why would I keep him tied to me all the time?"
"What if you suddenly go into labor while he's gone?" Davy said while staring at her big belly.
Claire waved her hand with a smile.
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
Claire poured out some more hot spring water for Davy to soak in.
The bumps on Davy's head had turned into small horns, making him look more delicate. His four claws were still growing and needed more time before they could fully support him.
He crawled out of the hot spring water and said, "This water won't help me anymore. As long as I keep absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, I'll recover."
Claire nodded. Just as she was about to pour out the used hot spring water, Davy grabbed her with his little tail.
"Wait. There's movement outside! I feel killing intent approaching."
"Huh?"
Claire was stunned for a moment. She immediately realized something and quickly put the fruits she had just taken out back into her storage space.
Just as she finished tidying up, Davy said again, "They're coming fast! They're already at the door."
It seemed that the killing intent was aimed right at Claire.
Davy cursed, "Damn it! If I weren't like this right now, those small fries wouldn't even be enough for me to chew on! Female, hide quickly!"
"Hide?"
Claire looked around.
"There's nowhere to hide in this stone house!"
Davy wanted to say something else, but he heard someone banging on her door.
"Female Claire, the city lord summons you!"
The person had already entered the yard and was standing right outside her door, separated only by a thin wooden door.
Davy and Claire exchanged a look, then he quickly slid onto her wrist and wrapped himself around it.
This way, even if they burst in, they wouldn't know he was there. If Claire was forced away, he could stay by her side.
Even if he couldn't help much, he could at least give advice.
After all, females seemed to get a bit slow after getting pregnant!
Claire coughed. Under the pressure of the visitors, she finally spoke!
She had no choice. If she didn't speak, they were going to break the door down!
Claire said, "You said you were sent by the city lord to invite me? What does he want with me?"
The person outside gave a sneaky laugh.
"That, I don't know. The city lord gave the order, and I'm just carrying it out. I suggest you be smart and come out with us yourself. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty."
