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

Chapter 206 I'm doomed, I'm surrounded by water spirits (Part 2)

Fen was stunned, realizing she had been seen through.

"Fen, come with me."

This is not a good place to chat... Chen Qi patted his dusty hands and led Fen to the restaurant.

"Fen, are you hungry?"

Chen Qi asked, noting that the Flower Witch looked extremely thin.

"Thank goodness, I just ate..."

Fen suddenly remembered the time when he and Chen Qi first met and were eating grass, and said subconsciously.

"Aren't you really hungry...?" Chen Qi looked puzzled.

"Wakuwaku! (Master! We're hungry! Very hungry!)"

Deep Sea Sprite No. 2 spoke up for the stubborn Flower Witch.

Lately, in order to save money and escape, the two of them haven't been eating anything good.

Look, the flowers on the Flower Witch's head are all wilted, she looks so hungry!

The Flower Witch has a habit of being stubborn about certain things.

Chen Qi went to the kitchen, took out fresh lemons and strawberries, then butter and sugar, and slowly added eggs to make a delicate cake...

Put it in the oven and take it out.

Finally, spread a layer of jam and cream on top, and garnish with two mint leaves.

A simple fruit cake—there's no way around it, the Flower Witch is an incurable sweet tooth.

"Wakuwaku (Master! I want one too!)"

"That's what the lush, green Deep Sea Sprite II said."

"..."

Chen Qi fell silent for a moment.

This little guy, who used to only drink seawater, seems to have not only been fattened up by the Flower Witch, but also become quite picky about food.

Of course, it's also possible that the Flower Witch's nutrient potion just tasted terrible.

Chen Qi spent some time making a strawberry juice for Water Sprite No. 2.

"Wakuwaku! (Delicious!)"

Deep Sea Sprite II's face turned red after drinking strawberry juice.

According to the research of the Church, water spirits seem to possess a natural ability to preserve freshness and remove impurities.

Number Two, Number Two, if you keep going like this, you'll eventually turn into a giant, super sweet, nutritious jelly... Chen Qi found a stool and sat with Fen at a window seat in the restaurant.

Chen Qi spoke first:

"Fen, tell me more about it. Although I may not be able to help, talking about it will relieve some of the pressure."

Chen Qi remembered that the matter of the Flower Witch involved many powerful figures in the Witch Sea, and even ancient beings.

It's fair to say that nothing related to it is simple.

Of course, it shouldn't have reached that point yet, since the Flower Witch is currently only a third-tier transcendent being.

With his current strength, some simple tasks are not a problem.

Finn gently ate a small piece of cake, then softly said:

"I passed the trial left by the first Flower Witch and obtained the legendary fourth-tier job card, Flower Witch, but as a price, my body was pierced by flowers, and my blood suffered a huge problem..."

Moreover, my mind has been severely polluted, and I am experiencing numerous hallucinations.

The only way to cure this disease is through the legendary Lunar Awakening and the Red Blood Source Elixir. However, I currently have no way of obtaining either of these elixirs; the ingredients for both are extremely difficult to acquire.

The Flower Witch ate the cake, which eased her melancholy.

She traveled all over the Black Mine City, constantly on the move, and managed to acquire a huge amount of medicinal herbs through her own abilities.

However, she has not yet found the Blood Crystal and the Awakening Grass.

The Flower Witch, head bowed, was ill, and with the addition of the Black Whale Gang's black gloves, even the usually optimistic girl contemplated banging her head against a wall.

The Flower Witch poured out all these things.

Awakening Grass, Blood Crystal... Chen Qi listened quietly.

Blood Crystals are not difficult to obtain. In the Witch Sea, the C-rank rift 'Blood Castle', controlled by the Blood Blade Pirates, can produce a large number of Blood Crystals.

Blood Crystals can temporarily enhance a person's Cup Aspect power and can even create 'Blood Demon' class cards at the third tier of Cup Aspect. If a second-tier transcendent needs to advance to the third tier, this is a very useful item.

Now, the Bloodblade Pirates are considered their friends.

However, obtaining the "Awakening Grass" is entirely dependent on luck... Chen Qi said softly.
"Blood Crystals aren't a problem; just buy them from the Bloodblade Pirate Crew. Besides, it seems the Bloodblade Pirate Crew has something to discuss with you..."

"Those pirates who were originally from the navy?" Finn replied.

“I know, but they are notorious pirates, and they might be after my bounty.”

Chen Qi immediately rejected it:
"No, the Bloodblade Pirates' search for you might be related to the Blade Witch..."

Little Red Riding Hood's purpose in searching for the Flower Witch was to resolve the matter of the Blade Witch.

"Witch?"

A puzzled little flower appeared on the Flower Witch's head.

The definition of a witch in Witch Ocean is extremely strict. Simply put, it must be related to thirteen witches in history and thirteen witch class cards.

At the same time, these thirteen witch class cards have a very special characteristic: once a witch dies, the witch card will return to the Trial Grounds.

The Flower Witch rubbed her forehead, her eyes gleaming:

"Many Witch class cards have been lost, but the Blood Blade Pirates actually obtained one—it's from their new leader, the Blood Lady. How amazing..."

"The Blood Lady can't be the Blade Witch," Chen Qi replied, resting his chin on his hand.

"It shouldn't be them. However, they shouldn't be hostile. If we want the Blood Crystal, we might as well go and find them."

Chen Qi said he could go... The Flower Witch stroked her chin.

In fact, although the Black Whale Gang and she were sworn enemies, the Blood Blade Pirate Gang, as an emerging pirate group, was not immune to contact.

Moreover, the longer the Flower Witch stayed in the Witch's Sea, the more she realized that her abilities had limits!

Both she and Chen Qi needed a reliable ally.

"Yes, if she really is a witch, then I must meet her."

The Flower Witch nodded gently.

"As for the sobering herb..."

Chen Qi tried hard to think, but he still couldn't pinpoint the exact whereabouts of the Clear Grass.

The only solution is to contact the chameleon at Beike Mall; perhaps that can resolve the issue.

But this also depends on luck...

Chen Qi asked curiously:
"Fen, can hallucinations be resolved with hallucinations?"

The best way to defeat magic is magic itself.

"?"

Fen looked puzzled again.

"Yes, hallucinations can counteract hallucinations, but only if the hallucination potion is strong enough, and the hallucinatory content of the potion can be neutralized by other potions, and its harmfulness is low enough..."

Fen's face turned bright red, and she murmured softly:
"For example, the succubus's Nightmare Elixir can selectively generate dreams of pleasure..."

When it comes to hallucinations, the most common ones are nightmare materials that are indistinguishable from real ones. However, due to the high demand from the nobles of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, the scarcity of such items even surpasses that of the Awakening Grass.

"No, not this..."

Chen Qi gently took out a butterfly from his backpack card, a blue butterfly as smooth as silk.

The Flower Witch and Deep Sea Sprite II tilted their heads together, revealing thoughtful expressions.

"What is this? It looks very rare."

"The Butterfly of Dreams".

Chen Qi answered softly.

"Oh."

The Flower Witch crossed her arms, looking as if she understood:

"So it's the Dream Butterfly, the Dream Butterfly... Wait! The legendary Dream Beast's loot, the Dream Butterfly!"

The Flower Witch suddenly realized what was happening.

Could what she was seeing before her be a legendary medicinal herb, something only found in textbooks, dropped by a calamity-ridden beast?!
Her teacher once told her that to become a true Flower Witch, she must possess the power to hunt down natural disasters!
But she never succeeded; her legs would go weak the moment she saw these natural disasters.

Chen Qi actually encountered the Dream Beast, survived, and even obtained materials about the Dream Beast.

Chen Qi asked:

"Well? Can this herb be used to make an antidote?" "Qi! I request three minutes to think!"

The Flower Witch raised her hand.

She needs some peace and quiet!
"Um……"

Chen Qi nodded slightly.

Fen was completely stunned. Chen Qi had given her the Dream Butterfly so casually.

No, that's not the point. Why does he have the Dream Butterfly on him? Could it be that the Dream Beast saw that he was destined for it and gave it to him?

Speaking of which, the Dream Beast has recently appeared in the near sea. Could this really be related to Chen Qi?

The newspaper saleswoman hadn't lied to her after all!
The Flower Witch confirmed:
"Qi, you were involved in the Dream Beast incident?"

Chen Qi did not hide anything from the Flower Witch:
"Yes, I was unfortunately captured by the Black Whale Gang and taken to the birthplace of the Dream Beast. Later, I was only able to obtain the Dream Butterfly thanks to the Ice Witch's seal..."

"what!"

Fen blinked:

"The teacher's seal... I see. But, Kei, the probability of you encountering major events is too high!"

No, it's alright... Chen Qi thought to himself.

As someone who frequently roams dangerous waters, his luck can only be described as average.

Qi is indeed mysterious and unpredictable... Fen extended her right index finger and carefully took the Dream Butterfly:
"The Dream Butterfly can generate hallucinations in a targeted manner, and it has an extremely high priority. Just a tiny bit is needed to make the antidote... Hmm, the remaining materials can be used to make a special potion, a legendary potion that can grant Flower Appearance Comprehension and Great Inspiration!"

"Flower-like comprehension?"

Chen Qi was slightly startled.

Flower Appearance Ability: Under normal circumstances, this is a special bonus that can only be obtained through Flower Appearance class cards!

A potion that can grant enlightenment about flowers is already proof of its value!
The Flower Witch continued:

"Yes, in addition, the inspiration it provides can make a talented second-tier extraordinary person comparable to a third-tier book-image extraordinary person."

Comparable to a third-order book master...

Chen Qi was slightly startled. This Dream Butterfly might be just what the Flower Witch could handle.

The main use of the Dream Butterfly is to forge forbidden creations of the Flower Form.

However, he lacks the ability to forge forbidden creations of the Flower Form, and his own nature also makes it mostly impossible for him to use forbidden creations of the Flower Form.

Entrusting the Dream Butterfly to the apothecary, the Flower Witch, is already a pretty good choice.

Chen Qi said softly:

"Then it's up to you, Fen."

"Ugh?"

Am I really that trustworthy? This is loot dropped by a deep-sea catastrophe. Aren't you afraid I'll steal it...?

Chenqi trusts her a lot!

Fen nodded silently and patted her chest:
"I will...do my best!"

Fen ate the last bite of cake, her whole body swaying, her eyelids like heavy iron doors about to slam down.

"Fen, how long has it been since you slept?"

Fen shook her head and yawned widely:

"About 50 hours... because of the black gloves. By the way, Qi, you must be careful..."

The black gloves are now in Black Mine City… Chen Qi frowned.

Although the black glove had been burned once, as a Shadow Release transcendent and a member of the Black Whale Clan, his strength should not be underestimated.

Most importantly, as people who specialize in handling dirty work, Black Gloves have a lot of disgusting eyeliner.

At the same time, he can contact other executives of the Black Whale Group very quickly.

Chen Qi asked curiously:
"Fen, can you guarantee that you weren't followed when you boarded my ship?"

Fen nodded:
"I can guarantee it!"

Her inspiration and perception are off the charts!

"That's good……"

Chen Qi leaned back slightly:
"Once I've contacted the Bloodblade Pirates, we'll set off to meet the Bloodblade Pirates' witch..."

"Ah."

Chen Qi looked at the curved flower on the Flower Witch's head:
"Before that, Fen, take care of your injuries first, and then get a good night's sleep. I'll prepare a room for you later. Would you like to stay in my double room, or the Water Sprite's little room?"

Both options seem quite good… The Flower Witch hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and answered:
"The water sprite's room... um, don't you need my help...?"

Fen hugged Water Sprite No. 2, who was drinking strawberry juice.

"No need, you should rest well, Fen, you're in very poor condition right now."

Chen Qi said, then began to think about the plans for the rest of the day.

In a few days, he and the Flower Witch will be able to head to the Bloodblade Pirate Crew.

He could try some more difficult tasks.

However, before that, he needs to master the Soul Origin skill, and preferably have a Tier 2 Hunter License.

In Black Mine City, there are always fools around. If every problem is solved with a sharp edge, it will be extremely troublesome.

Moreover, unsurprisingly, Black Glove's subordinates are all likely wanted by the authorities.

You can also get more information by going to the Hunter Association.

Chen Qi thought for a moment and decided that he could go to the Hunter Association tomorrow to get a hunter's certificate.

As a "black hunter" with a bounty, how can he not have a hunter's license?
Chen Qi got up, took out a quilt and mattress from the box, placed them in the water sprite's room, and laid out a makeshift bed on the floor.

Fen also walked in carrying the Deep Sea Sprite II.

Right now, Number One is practicing its new ability!

When Number Two saw Number One, he immediately prepared to flex his muscles!
To return to its master's side, it must demonstrate that it is stronger than its older brother!
Number Two broke free from Fen's embrace:
"Wakuwaku! (Big brother! We meet again!)"

It's gotten stronger! Stronger than its older brother!
Now, it should be the real boss!

“Wakuwaku (Second Brother)”.

Faced with the provocation of Number Two, Deep Sea Sprite Number One remained unmoved. The intense aura emanating from the Beast of Calamity alone was enough to frighten Deep Sea Sprite Number Two into retreating.

Seeing Number Two retreating, Number One slightly raised his head:

"Wakuwaku (Second brother, you've gotten stronger too!)"

Why, why! It's been adventuring outside for so long and taken so many awful-tasting medicines! Yet it still can't defeat its older brother!

Deep Sea Sprite II mustered its courage and rammed into it:

"Wakuwaku (Big brother! Let's fight!)"

"Wakuwaku (Battle!)"

boom!
boom!
Chen Qi squatted down and patted Number One and Number Two:

"You two little ones, it's so late, don't be so excited, it's time to sleep! You'll disturb the Flower Witch!"

"Wakuwaku".

Chen Qi got up and said softly:
"Fen, get some rest. If the deep-sea spirits bother you, just pat them and they'll behave."

Should we stop them from fighting...? Finn nodded:

"Hmm."

After quieting the water sprites, Chen Qi yawned and went back to his bedroom to rest for a while.

The door slowly closed.

Fen stood there, stunned, looking around.

Seven deep-sea spirits blinked and looked at her.

Oh no, I'm inexplicably surrounded by water sprites!
I didn't get a pillow. I hope Qi won't blame me. This isn't animal abuse, is it? Fen carefully placed Number Two on the mattress and then lay down.

What a comfortable pillow, so soft...

Covering myself with the blanket again, it's so warm...

Fen covered her face with the blanket and stared blankly at the wooden ceiling and the water sprites on the cat tree.

I was homeless this morning, but tonight I'm sleeping in such a comfortable room.

"So happy—"

If only this time could be a little longer, just a little bit longer...

Fen's worries dissipated with the sea breeze outside the ship, and before she knew it, she was holding No. 3, turned on her side, and fell asleep.
