Chapter 343: Chapter 341 Jiu’er: I Want to Return to Frostwater Harbor!_1

Defu was originally curled up into a ball, squinting her eyes, and snuggling on the sofa next to the fireplace to keep warm.

But when she heard some noise behind her, she immediately perked up, her neck twisting 180 degrees as she rested her head on the sofa’s armrest to look towards Annan on the bed.

"Meow?"

——Have you come out of the nightmare?

Defu curiously meowed, silently asking.

She stretched her neck, trying to see what kind of Curse Binding had appeared on Annan.

But when her gaze met the still drowsy Annan who had just woken up, she was suddenly startled.

"Meow?!"

——Holy shit?

She saw that Annan’s left eye had turned a pure emerald green.

It was like a top-quality starlight emerald, seemingly shooting out rays of light.

This was no metaphor.

At first glance, it might seem like a stunningly beautiful heterochromia, but on closer inspection, one would realize Annan’s left eye didn’t have a disc-shaped pupil.

Defu could even vaguely see tiny white runes inside, forming several ribbons of light...

...But damn, those blue-green heterochromatic eyes are really good-looking as hell!

Even though Defu wasn’t like Jiu’er and Lin Yiyi, craving Annan’s body, she still found herself amazed by this sight.

She couldn’t help but take a screenshot and posted it on the forum.

"Guess what treasure I’ve just laid my eyes on?! @Jiu’er @Lin Yiyi"

Seemingly browsing the forum, Xiang Tiange was the first to dash in and comment without Defu specifically mentioning them:

"——I guess you saw Annan getting out of bed?"

Xitan Pulan: "Don’t you think that sounds a bit lewd?"

Lin Yiyi: "Did you sneak a shot of An Mengmeng getting dressed after waking up? Send me one, GKD!"

Jiu’er: "Then I’ll +1."

——"Wrong guess!"

Defu excitedly posted a screenshot showing Annan sitting up in bed, opening his eyes, and looking towards her.

Lin Yiyi: "Holy shit?"

Jiu’er: "Holy shit?"

Xitan Pulan: "Not bad, quite interesting (Annan_calm.jpg)"

Lin Yiyi: "Aaaaaaaah!!"

Delicious Wind Goose: "What’s up, dude? Why such a scream? (alert)"

Jiu’er: "Fine, I’m heading back to Frostwater Harbor now!"

Delicious Wind Goose: "Calm down, man! I’m camping for a boss right now; can’t do quests. Go and take care of mine too!"

Jiu’er: "Tsk..."

Jiu’er: "Indifferent gaze (Kafney limited edition).jpg"

Xitan Pulan: "Don’t be like that, be obedient. Annan’s also heading to the Royal Capital, why not complete his tasks for him and rake in a ton of goodwill points?"

Jiu’er: "Ugh..."

She wailed for a moment, then stopped her rampage.

Indeed, there’s always something able to subdue another.

Defu mused.

As expected, Xitan Pulan once again managed to hold Jiu’er back.

This was either the fourth or the fifth time Xitan Pulan had stopped Jiu’er from going berserk since entering the game.

After all, Jiu’er was a genuine young missy... of the same sort you could compare to Dragon Well tea. Usually gentle and cute, without much pretense, and able to take a joke — her only flaw was becoming excessively passionate about something she really wanted.

Like Annan, for example.

Lin Yiyi might still have a bit of a bluffer’s component.

Or rather, it’s not Annan alone she likes.

——She just likes those who are handsome and have a cute build.

She was a proud aficionado of good looks.

For example, aside from Annan, whether it was Kafney or Jiu’er... Lin Yiyi would stick to them whenever she could.

Xitan Pulan, however, was not an option.

Although Sister Wen was attractive, her aura was too cool and her build too imposing. Lin Yiyi felt she couldn’t quite bring herself to like her...

Defu wasn’t a great fit either.

Though Defu wasn’t as old as a mother, she radiated a motherly dignity. Plus, she was somewhat of a genius—excelling in martial arts, archery, rock climbing, swimming, and also a senior in the domain of live streaming.

Considering herself a gaming hermit, Lin Yiyi always spoke softly and didn’t dare to overstep in front of Defu.

Jiu’er was different from Lin Yiyi.

It was hard to pin down when it happened... but she might have been the first player to fall for someone from another world.

If one doesn’t count a child’s unrequited crush on Miss Bofis, her fondness for "Annan Winter" could perhaps be considered unique among the players so far.

Jiu’er’s unabashed affection for Annan made Defu, the oldest "elder" among the players, a bit worried about her.

The invitation code system was basically akin to adding contacts from an address book.

The players almost all knew each other.

Take for example how Defu and Jiu’er’s parents were old friends long ago. The origin of their relationship could trace back to the friendship between Defu’s father and Jiu’er’s grandfather...

But Defu got to know Jiu’er’s parents because they had been in a rock band together during their youth.

Jiu’er’s father was the lead singer, her mother the guitarist, and Defu the drummer.

In their era, rock music was quite popular. And on the drums, Defu still possessed her signature, innate talent.

Of course, at that time Defu didn’t know Jiu’er’s father was a gentleman who would have to return to manage his family’s estate if he didn’t pursue music seriously; and Jiu’er’s father didn’t know Defu was a monster who, with only half a year of archery training, could score 1300 rings out of 140 arrows...

Besides, Jiu’er’s father and Gourmet Goose hailed from the same university.

Defu remembered Gourmet Goose distinctly because she was very much like herself in her youth.

She could pick up any skill quickly and excel in any field she took interest in.

—But there was one difference.

That was, Defu was a cut above Gourmet Goose in every respect.

And she knew early on that she couldn’t possibly maintain good grades while learning and mastering so many skills.

Therefore, she opted not to take the college entrance exam but instead joined the then newly emerging computer training courses. After mastering the skill swiftly, she started working freelance in network security.

At the same time, she began learning the drums and met Jiu’er’s father.

After getting the hang of the drums, she moved on to learn martial arts. When Jiu’er’s mother went to pursue her graduate studies, the band disbanded. Defu used the money she had saved to study abroad in Jujutsu. It was during this period she saw the broadcast of "Survival Skills in the Wild," which piqued her interest in wilderness survival.

So she went on to teach archery and martial arts to the youths, saving money while learning swimming, rock climbing, and wilderness survival skills.

Gourmet Goose met her during this time.

And at this time, Jiu’er was born.

Her parents had her too early.

With her grandfather’s health failing, her father had to gradually take over the family business; her mother was an ambitious woman, having earned double PhDs. But in the end, it meant both were almost never home throughout the year.

Apart from her late grandmother, the one who raised Jiu’er was Xitan Pulan... or rather, Wen Xue.

As Jiu’er’s older cousin, Wen Xue watched her grow up and was more effective than even Jiu’er’s own mother when it came to giving orders.

At the same time, including Jiu’er’s entrance into the circle, her gaming habit, and her start in live streaming... it was all instigated by Wen Xue.

Wen Xue’s initial goal was simple: to channel the overly energetic little Jiu’er’s attention, hopefully cultivating some hobbies that would make it easier for her to make friends.

Maybe she went a bit too far.

Now, just having come of age, Jiu’er was already a gaming invalid...

Contrastingly—

In reality, she still had no friends.

This guilt, in turn, made Wen Xue the strictest enforcer—Jiu’er’s academic performance was personally supervised by her, and Wen Xue also tutored her when she fell behind in her studies.

Even when Jiu’er’s streaming performance declined, Wen Xue would act as a strategist...

For the likes of Lin Yiyi and Xiang Tiange, they either brought in a younger brother or pulled in an old friend.

As for Jiu’er, she went straight to the point.

—She roped in her own mother.
