My Beastly Fertility System Chapter 70: Unexpected Figures

Claire's mind flickered, and the fur scroll disappeared into her space.

Soon after, Elodie closed her eyes forever.

When the rogue beastfolk heard Claire's question, they looked at each other and burst into loud laughter.

"This female's got some brains. She doesn't look bad either. None of you fight me for her! I'm taking her first!"

"Do you think you get to decide? Boss already said nobody can touch this female!"

"Fine. When Boss gets tired of her, I'm first in line!"

"Hahaha!"

The rogue beastfolk openly talked about how they would divide the females among themselves.

As for the old ones and the younglings, they would eat what they wanted and toss the leftovers into the snow to freeze.

The females trembled in fear. The younglings cried nonstop. A few elderly beastfolk tried to fight back but were knocked down in seconds.

As for the guards who had escorted them to the shelter cave, the rogue beastfolk had already defeated them earlier.

Rufus shielded Claire while gently patting the restless younglings moving inside the fur pouch.

The other beastfolk around him weren't his concern. His only duty was to protect Claire and the younglings.

Elodie was gone, and grief pressed heavily on Claire's heart.

She hadn't interacted much with Elodie before. But after living here longer, she realized Elodie had truly been a kind beastfolk.

And now she was dead!

Claire glared at the rogue beastfolk still joking around. They killed someone and acted like it meant nothing. It was sickening and unforgivable!

"Rufus, are you sure you can defeat these rogue beastfolk?" she whispered.

Rufus nodded.

"Of course. They're only Level 1 beastfolk. Though there are more of them, it'll just take time."

But something felt strange. Those rogue beastfolk had clearly seen the beast mark on his face and knew he was Level 2, yet they stayed calm like it didn't matter. Were they really not scared of him?

What a bunch of idiots!

Rufus felt annoyed that they were actually looking down on him.

Claire nodded and took the fur pouch from him. The younglings smelled her scent and quieted down right away.

Rufus rolled his neck, then rushed toward the closest rogue beastfolk.

One useless rogue beastfolk after another fell. Just when the fox clan was about to cheer, two figures stepped out from inside the shelter cave.

It was Jeffrey and Fiona!

Jeffrey swaggered forward. The rogue beastfolk there acted as if they had finally found support. They ran toward him, smiling and flattering him.

"Boss, you're finally here!"

If he hadn't shown up soon, that Level 2 beastfolk would've killed them all.

Jeffrey glared at them coldly. "Useless trash!"

That rogue beastfolk immediately shut his mouth.

Fear hit Claire hard. So Jeffrey was actually the leader of the rogue beastfolk!

Didn't that mean Fiona had basically brought danger into their own home?

At that moment, Fiona stood behind Jeffrey, staring at Claire with smug satisfaction.

"Fiona, you knew Jeffrey was a rogue beastfolk all along. Did you bring him into the clan on purpose?!" Claire demanded angrily.

How could someone be this foolish?

Has she completely lost her mind?

Fiona clung tightly to Jeffrey's arm, unaware of the disgust on his face, and glared at Claire.

"You forced me into this, Claire! You've gotten way too arrogant lately. Since the day I was born, I was the most adored female in the clan. Everyone loved me. But you ruined all of it!"

Claire sneered inwardly. That was because they had been blind and foolish.

Now that they'd finally come to their senses, she deserved the credit for it.

Fiona kept going.

"If it weren't for you, Zane would be my beast slave, and Rufus would be my beast mate! I wouldn't have gotten tied up with that stupid pig Gavin! It's all your fault! And my skin looks this terrible because of you!"

She touched her face. The rough, pitted surface made her feel sick.

Her heavy body shook slightly. Fiona pointed at Claire and shrieked, "So what if you got prettier? So what if you can have younglings?

"Jeffrey said he'll get revenge for me! Starting today, everything you have will be mine! You'll die ugly!"

Claire looked at her coldly. Once Fiona finally stopped yelling, Claire pushed down her anger and asked, "So that's why you helped the rogue beastfolk from inside and gave them the location of the clan's most important shelter cave?

"Did you even think about what you've done? You'll destroy the clan! You'll destroy your own kind!"

Fiona clearly didn't understand how serious it was. She hugged Jeffrey's arm and pressed herself against him, rubbing her chest against his arm.

"Jeffrey said he won't hurt the others or take anything from them! Just you—your food, your younglings, and your cave! Everything you own will be destroyed!"

While speaking, she swept her gaze across the others, as if warning them that this would happen to anyone who crossed her.

Claire shook her head bitterly.

"You're such an idiot!"

Then she suddenly lifted her hand and pointed at Elodie, her voice rough and shaking like it was torn from her chest.

"Is this what you call not hurting anyone else? Ms. Palmer is dead! She's dead!"
