Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 128 Forced to open business
The sun hangs high in the sky.

On Siren Island, in a makeshift meeting room set up by the Navy.

"While tracking the Devil, the White Gull was attacked by the siren's song and black sharks. We withstood the siren's death song and captured seventy pirates from the Devil.

As for the witch and monster that attacked the Devil Ray, we have sent people to search for them with all our might. The entire area around Siren Island is our search ground.

But for now, there is no new information…

The commander of the White Gull stood up straight and reported to Admiral White Gull.

In this operation, they defeated the Devil Ray and also the Black Whale Gang's ships lurking inside Siren Canyon.

Judging solely from the results, they have already achieved a resounding victory!
The only flaw is the witch and monster that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

This was an unexpected development in the media coverage.

The witch is on the bounty list, and as marines, they have a duty to capture witches and monsters.

However, the commander of the White Gull was very grateful to the Flower Witch and the monster.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of witches and monsters, the White Gull's losses might have exceeded those of the Devil Ray.

You could even say that witches and monsters protected them.

The old white gull looked at the blurry photo in its hand:
"Witch, she actually has companions? Is he really only at the second tier of power as the reports said?"

The commander calmly replied:

"Yes, it's only a second-tier spiritual energy field. It won't be difficult to catch the other party."

The old white gull smiled as if looking at a tender fledgling:

"Appearances can be deceiving. Don't forget, Captain Palu, the legendary captain of the Ice Demon Pirates, often only displayed strength at the second tier."

"really……"

The commander felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't suspect anything.

What second-tier superhuman could so easily master walking on water and dare to walk on a sea full of sea beasts?
It's impossible to do this unless the other party is from a top-tier supernatural organization.

The old white gull handed the photo to the commander and gave instructions;
"Tell the bounty department to set the bounty at the third tier. Also, have someone investigate the Sea God Pirate Crew to see if anyone is similar to this tentacle monster."

The commander took the photo:
"Understood. And what's the name of the bounty?"

The old white gull fell into deep thought.

The photo only showed Chen Qi wearing the Ember Touch outfit, but not his name.

He was dressed in tattered hunter's clothes from the last century, with tentacles growing from beneath the clothes.

Although his appearance is impressive, he is now just an unknown person.

But he had a gut feeling that the other party's actions would not stop easily.

What should we call it? Calling it a tentacle monster or something doesn't quite fit, and since it's with a witch, calling it a beast doesn't quite fit either.
Old White Gull is having trouble naming things and can't decide for a while:

"Let's call him Monster for now. Later, the people from the newspapers will give him a proper name."

The commander replied:
"clear."

At this moment, the commander boldly asked:
"Admiral Bai Ou, why is our navy offering a bounty on the Flower Witch?"

The Navy's reasoning was that the Flower Witch was a madwoman and would inevitably bury 100,000 Navy soldiers, just like the legendary Flower Witch.

But in the commander's view, the Flower Witch did not exhibit that sense of madness.

Judging from appearances alone, the tentacle-covered monster next to the Flower Witch is the real threat on the sea! A monster capable of uprooting the ocean!

Old White Gull didn't hide anything and slowly said:

"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but it might be related to the Witch class cards. You should know that, in legend, there are thirteen lost Witch class cards."

For some who yearn for beauty, the witch's fourth-tier job card is a miracle.

The Flower Witch, without a doubt, knows the whereabouts of these thirteen class cards. This alone is enough reason for her to bear a bounty of over twenty million.

The old white gull let out a long sigh.

The Witch class card is a creation of the legendary thirteen original hunters, a goddess of beauty, and can grant eternal youth.

The whereabouts of the thirteen Tier 4 class cards are simply too tempting.

The Flower Witch is wanted for more than just this one reason.

She herself is a treasure trove of secrets, which is why the Navy's high command wants to capture her alive.

Whether she did something wrong is no longer important.

All they wanted was the countless treasures known to the Flower Witch.

Old White Gull shook his head. Even with a large amount of funding and the support of the Kingdom's armor, as long as the upper echelons don't change, it will still be extremely difficult for the navy to rise to prominence.

The commander noticed the old white gull's displeasure and said:
"General Bai Ou, our operation can be described as a great success!"
I heard there's a barbecue restaurant boat near Siren Island that seems really popular. How about we go grab a bite and celebrate?
"Maybe we'll find those two after we finish eating." Old Bai'ou looked at the mountain of documents in his hands:

"It's not that easy to find them. They're wanted by the authorities right now. As a general, I can't leave my post or be negligent at this time."

"Then... I'm leaving? General White Gull."

"Um... could you get me ten skewers of grilled squid?"

……

……

Dusk hour.

A makeshift barbecue stall at the pier of Siren Island.

Wearing an apron, Chen Qi skillfully flipped the skewers in his hands, the aroma of meat filling the air.

"Damn it, why did it turn out like this again..."

Chen Qi gritted his teeth.

While he and the Flower Witch, two notorious sea pirates, were celebrating on their little houseboat, they suddenly encountered a navy ship that was searching for them!
They almost got their identities discovered by the navy.

Fortunately, Chen Qi has a solid background; he's a famous chef who's been featured in newspapers.

However, the kind-hearted navy officer said to Chen Qi:
"Master Chef, you may not know, but there's a riot of sea monsters and disgusting creatures with tentacles around here. Let us protect you on your way back!"

The navy under the command of the White Gull is quite friendly and will take the initiative to help civilians in danger.

Faced with the navy's friendly invitation, Chen Qi had no choice but to thank them.

Then, the navy crew got hungry, so he was forced to start barbecuing on Siren Island.

Moreover, why did more than fifty guests inexplicably come?

They even thoughtfully delivered a bunch of ingredients to his barbecue stall, preventing him from having to run out of ingredients.

In addition, there was that perverted seafood lady from before.

The downsides of fame...

Chen Qi ate a skewer of squid in a sullen mood.

His original plan was to deliver the Flower Witch to the hotel and then go treasure hunting near Siren Gorge.

At this moment, the people at the barbecue stalls on the dock were still talking about what happened on the Devil Ray.

“We told you that today in Siren Gorge, the crew of the White Gull encountered a witch, and in addition, there was a tentacle monster.”

"Tentacle monster, I like it! What type? Are the tentacles big? Slippery? Soft?"

"The tentacles weren't big, but they were quite unique, with tentacles growing all over its body..."

"With tentacles growing on his body, could he be the successor of the Deepsea Hunter's nemesis?"

Chen Qi was secretly startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

It seems like he's even more famous than the Flower Witch.

Now, all we can do is pray that the customers here are all idiots and won't discover the Flower Witch.

At this moment, inside the small houseboat, the Flower Witch, who was pretending to be a waitress, was also in a panic, her clothes soaked with sweat.

What to do? What to do? The area is swarming with the navy, and bounty hunters too!

To avoid being discovered, she could only process the ingredients and skewer them in the small houseboat, shivering with fear.

"Why are these skewers so hard to skewer?!"

"Wakuwaku (like this, like that, like this!)"

The deep-sea spirits beneath her feet were diligently teaching her.

“I don’t understand!”

The Flower Witch was on the verge of tears.

She was now very curious about how Chen Qi could understand what the deep-sea water spirit was saying. Did the deep-sea water spirit have subtitles for every sentence it said?

With the help of the deep-sea spirits, the barbecue stall managed to keep operating, emitting a fragrant aroma.

"I hope tonight will be a good night..."

As Chen Qi flipped the skewers, he looked towards the sea.

On the distant sea, he spotted a tiny green algae, stealthily swimming toward the houseboat.

"Sea monster little green algae..."
