Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1724 [Fufu's Wonderful Adventure 116] Gu—

When consciousness returned, Fufu found herself lying on a soft bed that almost swallowed her whole.

Above her was not a familiar ceiling, but an exquisite and ornate bed canopy.

This scene stunned her for a good while before she finally realized that this seemed to be her room, or more precisely, her room at home in the Star Citadel.

She was back? When did that happen?

Fufu sat up, hugging the quilt, recalling the experiences in her mind that seemed real, but sounded particularly outrageous when spoken aloud.

Something about a refined and elegant Aunt Jiajia one moment, and a sobbing mess the next, something about the arrogant Beast Entwined Clan with an especially presumptuous name, something about jumping off a cliff into the sea, arriving at a penguin secret passage only by being swept in a whirlpool, something about a giant of light fifty or sixty meters tall, and then her memories became hazy…

Ugh, my head is so itchy, could all of that have just been a dream?

"Woof! Woof!"

Noticing that she had woken up, Gale, who had been dozing off on the carpet by the bed, jumped up and began to lick her face enthusiastically.

Fufu struggled to push its big head away.

Forced to wash her face, her mind gradually cleared, and she finally determined that those bizarre experiences were not a dream.

Real dreams were not so clear; in a half-dream, half-awake state, one might recall a general outline, but once the mind regained clarity, the memories in the dream would dissipate like a mirage.

But she could still say the names of those few Beast Entwined Clan members: Skywrath Glacier, Cambrian Tentacle, Skyrend Azure Shade, and that most hateful one, Gale Woe Frost, who was always mocking her.

Ugh, I remember so clearly! Wait, how did I suddenly get back here…?

Fufu hugged her head and fell into thought again, and that was when she noticed that her head was wrapped in bandages, and there was an egg-sized bump on the back of her head.

Before she could react, the door to the room was pushed open, and Jiajia, dressed in the Investigation Corps' standard light armor paired with a Sky Mother Feather Garment, a bizarre style, ran in.

Attracted by Gale's barking, she pushed the big dog away from Fufu's bedside, held Fufu's head, and looked her up and down for a good while, then hugged her tightly, "It's good you're okay!"

Fufu, who was having trouble breathing from being hugged so tightly around the neck, quickly patted Jiajia on the back until Jiajia quickly let her go, "How do you feel? Does the back of your head still hurt? Do you feel nauseous or uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I'm okay… I guess?" Fufu touched the back of her head, which was wrapped in bandages, "So… what happened back then?"

Jiajia adjusted Fufu's slightly loosened bandages, "The big wave caused by the appearance of the Great Sea Dragon slammed you onto the ground, and you hit your head hard, and you've been unconscious for several days.

We brought you back to Moon Citadel, and you woke up once, even threw up a few times, and then passed out again. We were worried that it wasn't suitable for you to recover there, so we brought you back to Star Citadel."

Fufu was bewildered; she had no memory of any of that.

But thinking about it, it was normal; after a strong impact to the head, it was common to lose some memory of the time before the injury.

"Wait, hold on? The Great Sea Dragon?" Fufu suddenly realized something was wrong, "Isn't that a humanoid creature?"

Seeing that Fufu's thoughts were clear and her speech was fluent, Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that she was all right.

She sat down by the bed and explained with a smile, "That's not right, the Great Sea Dragon that shot vertically out of the water, its pectoral fins look like arms, and its lower body is a bit like human legs, plus the lighting, it only looks humanoid."

"Is that so? It's a pity I didn't get a chance to take a picture…"

Hearing her mutter to herself, Jiajia looked at her, "Aren't you afraid, Fufu? There are very few people who can remain calm after seeing an Ancient Dragon, let alone when you're injured."

"I'm okay, I guess." Fufu shook her head, "Although it was surprisingly big, it wasn't a particularly vicious fellow, and the injury was just an accident.

I even drifted on the back of a Floating Peak Dragon for several days before; this is nothing."

Towards the end, Fufu's tone even carried a hint of boasting.

"You're so brave, Fufu." Jiajia pinched her cheek with a smile, "I'll have the Cat Butler bring some food over. The doctor will be here in a little while to examine you again, and then you should rest well these days."

After saying that, Jiajia patted Fufu's head and left the bedroom, not forgetting to gently close the door.

Looking in the direction of the door, Fufu was somewhat dazed.

Fufu's eyes twitched, and she leaned over, reached under the bed, and groped around for a few moments, pulling out a cat.

"If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll shave off all your fur?" Fufu glared at Fish Bafa.

Fish Bafa wriggled, broke free from Fufu's hand, wrapped the corner of the quilt around himself, covering his half-short, half-long fur, and then slowly said:

"This one isn't talking nonsense, Meow, although this one isn't familiar with her, but the tone she used when she was just talking to you was clearly a kind of elder's care, Meow."

"She's my aunt!"

"Is there a blood relationship, Meow?"

"No, there isn't, but why would you have such a strange idea!"

The newest and most complete novels are at Six Nine Book Bar, first published!

Fish Bafa gave her a strange look, walked to the luggage by the bed, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out that romance picture book, "Mountain God", "You've seen this before, Meow; aren't you strange for not thinking there would be a problem, Meow?"

Fufu choked, "Those stories are all made up! Ugh, I can't explain it to you clearly; you'll know if you've spent time with Jiajia, she doesn't have those kinds of thoughts about Dad, um…"

"Look, even you aren't confident, Meow."

"Shut up!"

Fufu grabbed Fish Bafa and gave him a hard rub, "You're not allowed to say these things again, especially in front of Aunt Jiajia!"

"This one doesn't care, Meow." Fish Bafa squeezed next to the pillow and curled up, soon starting to snore softly.

Fufu, whose thoughts were in a mess, couldn't sleep anymore. After tossing and turning in bed for a while, the bedroom door was pushed open again.

This time it was Anxi'er who came in. Hearing the news that his daughter, who had been unconscious for several days, had woken up, he specially put down the work at hand to come and take a look.

"How does your body feel? Do you feel nauseous, or is there anything else that's uncomfortable?" Anxi'er came to the bedside and asked.

Wrapped in the quilt, Fufu muttered in a low voice, "Why is everyone saying the same thing…"

"What did you say?" Anxi'er didn't quite hear.

Fufu "Whoosh!" sat up, glaring at her father somewhat angrily, "You're not allowed to abandon Mom!"

"?"

Anxi'er looked at the bump on the back of Fufu's head, "Did you break your brain?"

Fufu, who wasn't used to hiding things in her heart, stuffed the picture book at the head of the bed into Anxi'er's hands. She had originally wanted to keep this thing to tease her father for fun, but now she was in no mood.

Anxi'er glanced at the cover of the picture book, guessed what was going on, and felt a sense of helplessness, "Don't you know that the stories in this are all made up?"

"You've seen it?! I clearly haven't taken it out before! You actually rummaged through my luggage?!"

"Nonsense! How else would I send your messy things back to the people they should go to?" Anxi'er easily suppressed Fufu's arrogance.

Fufu drooped her shoulders, "Then why is Jiajia's attitude towards me different? We were clearly like sisters before."

Anxi'er glanced at her, his tone becoming somewhat cold, "That's because I scolded her after we got back, saying that as an elder, she should restrain you, just like she restrains that Purple Wind Drifter Dragon, instead of letting you drag her around."

"Gu—"
