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

Chapter 390 The Witch's Temptation

Why is the Ice Witch silent? Chen Qi looked up, blinked, and asked:
"What's wrong, Ice Witch, is that what this big white-haired guy is called? Does it make you angry?"

The Ice Witch swirled the red tea in her hand.

Although she pursed her lips and gripped the teacup handle tightly.

However, she wasn't angry.

no……

Click!

After activating the time freeze, she took a few deep breaths, shook the black tea again, and said:

"I'm not angry, but Qi, mind your manners."

"Come on up, Mrs. Oly. We have something to discuss with you."

Big white hair... Ollie looked at the Ice Witch with her sea-blue white hair fluttering in the wind under the sunlight, and was filled with emotion.

Twenty years ago, when she was full of youthful vigor, she had a chance encounter with the Ice Witch and almost died.

Historically, the decline of the Magic Bullet family was also closely related to the Ice Witch.

And now, after she became the president of the council, she was able to see this legend again!
The legendary white-haired giant! Lady Ollie took a deep breath and scanned the Ice Witch from head to toe.

White hair, pink eyes, snow-white skin, a white mage robe engraved with magical patterns, and bare feet beneath the robe.

The Ice Witch remains as elegant, beautiful, and holy as she was twenty years ago!

Compared to the petite Flower Witch, she is worthy of the title "Big White Hair" in terms of both strength and charm.

So beautiful… She remained silent for a long time, and finally ordered all the soldiers not to resist.

Then, under the watchful eyes of numerous sailors, hunters, and residents, she climbed the ship's ladder and boarded the Ghost of the Underworld.

"Welcome aboard my ship."

Chen Qi laughed for a while, then turned around and looked at Mayor Maro:

"Mayor Maro, I'll take my leave now. Thank you for your recommendation. We still have some things to discuss."

"Okay, okay..."

Mayor Maro stood far away and spoke loudly.

Everyone looked at Mayor Maro with disbelief.

Mayor Maro actually dared to look the Black Hunter in the eye and meet his gaze.

It's important to know that Mayor Maro is merely a second-tier superhuman with no combat abilities.

During the development of Maro Island, the mayor's duties were largely taken over by the chamber of commerce president, who came from Seal Logistics.

Could it be that the legendary Black Hunter, like the missing supernova Ann, was born in Maro Town?
Everyone looked puzzled, then they looked up at the Ghost of the Underworld.

Even with their strength, they couldn't even get close to the Ghost of the Underworld.

But they still refused to leave, choosing instead to linger at a distance.

They had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen on the Black Hunter's ship, something that would affect the Witch Sea and even the fate of each and every one of them!
……

……

The Ghost of the Underworld.

On the deck, there was a tea table, along with the food and black tea that Chen Qi had just bought.

The Ice Witch snapped her fingers, creating an invisible soundproof barrier around the ship:

"Seven, serve tea to Mrs. Ollie."

"Wakuwaku (Yes, sir!)"

The smallest, light blue Water Sprite No. 7 poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Ollie.

Huh? Chen Qi stood by the boat, looking puzzled.

Number Seven, what are you doing?
When did you turn that way?
At some point, the Ice Witch trained Number Seven, who had the lowest profile, and taught him the art of tea brewing.

Lady Magata, under the watchful gaze of the Ice Witch, sat down again.

Lady Magic Bullet sat up straight, chest puffed out, picked up her teacup, and tried to salvage her dignity and elegance, which had been ruthlessly shattered by Chen Qi:
"Ice Witch, what is your purpose in returning?"
As the head of the Magic Bullet family and the current president of the Moonstone City Council, I have the right to know!

Her tone was both dignified and assertive, befitting someone in a high position.

The Ice Witch gracefully took a small sip of her red tea:

"Madam Demon Bullet, besides you, who else is in charge of Moonstone City right now?"

Don't answer questions with questions... Lady Magic Bullet swallowed back what was on her mind:

"Marshal Ronan, and Haye, a Saint-level debt collector and soul merchant sent from the capital."

These two are currently the people with the most power besides me. However, the Fleet Admiral is currently in the Rift Sea, organizing a counterattack against the Black Whale Gang!

Meanwhile, the soul merchant Haye personally ventured to the sea to search for clues to the A-rank rifts. His sole purpose in coming to the Witch's Sea was to bring all the unique items from the A-rank rifts into the hands of the Bek Kingdom.

Soul Merchant Haye, Navy Admiral Ronan… The Ice Witch, holding a cup of red tea, showed no surprise at the names of these two men.

She said calmly:

"I understand, that's a good answer, Ollie."

The Ice Witch praised me... Lady Auri nodded gently, vaguely feeling that her broken heart, which had been beaten by Chen Qi, had recovered quite a bit.

Why is she blushing...? Chen Qi, who was watching from the sidelines, was shocked.

He vaguely remembered that Lady Ollie and the Ice Witch had a deep-seated hatred for each other.

Twenty years ago, an unintentional act by the Ice Witch nearly cost Lady Ollie her life at sea.

Immediately afterwards, the Ice Witch swirled the black tea in her hand and continued to ask:

"Next, in order to activate my 'Destiny Image' light, I need to go to the newspaper office. Will anyone in Moonstone City stop me?"
Or rather, is there anyone who can stop me?

Mrs. Oly was silent for a long time before saying:

"Until Marshal Ronan and the merchant Haye return, no one, not even those families who covet your power and treasure, will be able to do so."

"Of course, if you're willing to provide clues about the A-rank rift, even Haye, the merchant sent from the capital, would be willing to cooperate with you..."

"I see."

The Ice Witch turned her head and said to Chen Qi:

"Qi, then let's sail the ship into Moonstone City today."

"no problem."

Chen Qi replied.

Just then, Lady Demon Bullet bit her lip:

"Ice Witch, you haven't answered my question yet!"

What are you doing back here?
And why did you once sink me into the sea, preventing me from becoming a Magic Bullet Shooter…?

Faced with Lady Magic Bullet's question, the Ice Witch simply snapped her fingers.

Before their eyes, a screen of light suddenly appeared.

The screen of light clearly showed the young appearance of Lady Magatama!
Young and spirited, with her hair tied in a neat ponytail, the most promising person to inherit the family's fifth-tier profession, the Magic Bullet Shooter, decided to clear the A-tier rift and contain her own rift.

It was during her journey to the rift that she caught a glimpse of the Ice Witch, and she was frozen in ice and sank into the sea.

This event changed Mrs. Oly's life.

This also became a turning point in the fate of Mrs. Ollie and the Magic Bullet family.

At this moment, Ollie, whose face already bore a few wrinkles, gritted her teeth:

"Ice Witch, I will never, ever forget that day!"
You have ruined my destiny, the destiny of the Magic Bullet family!

The Ice Witch continued to cast her spell.

The scene in the light screen slowly began to rotate.

Despite not being stopped by the Ice Witch, Ollie did not clear the A-rank rift as she had imagined. Instead, she was mercilessly trampled to death by a giant's foot within the A-rank rift.

From then on, the Magic Bullet family, having lost Lady Magic Bullet, was plunged into immense grief. Furthermore, because their children, while in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, came into contact with the 'Clan Devouring Sparrows' specially trained by the Canary family to devour other families from within, they were gradually eroded by the Canary family of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, thus becoming vassals of the Canary family on the sea.

Looking at the Magic Bullet family, who had lost all hope in the illusion... Lady Magic Bullet, Ollie's eyes widened involuntarily.

How could her proud Magic Bullet family possibly become a family with twenty different genders that throws orgies every day!
"This was a possibility I saw at the time: you would die in the rift, and at the same time, the Magic Bullet family would perish."

That is your destiny to move forward, Ollie.

"At that time, in order to fight the Deep Sea Titan, my power had already gone out of control, and I was unable to take care of a girl who accidentally wandered in. Your being frozen was inevitable..."

"And you survived, and you saw me again, didn't you, Ollie?"

The Ice Witch drank her red tea and said calmly.

A cold wind blew gently.

In that instant, the Ice Witch's eyes were just like they were back then.

Mrs. Oly was stunned and stood there for a moment, at a loss for what to do.

It was as if their meeting today was something the Ice Witch had anticipated.

According to the secret records of the Magic Bullet Family, two rifts were contained within the body of the Ice Witch!
The first rift is an ice-phase A-level rift called the Condensation Chamber, which grants her the ability to stop time in a large area.

The second crack has an unknown name, rank, and origin; all that is known is that it is an extremely special lamp phase crack.

This crack allows her to glimpse and control her destiny.

No one can escape the fate of the Ice Witch.

In that instant, Ollie felt that her every move was under the control of the Ice Witch.

The Ice Witch leisurely sipped a cup of black tea:
"All that I have done is under the protection of fate."

Ollie took a deep breath; she could feel the terrifying power of the Ice Witch's words.

This is the power of a true legend!

No, even if the Ice Witch is powerful, as the patriarch of the family, I cannot easily submit to her power! Lady Demon Bullet continued to question in her heart:

"Then, Ice Witch! Why have you returned!"
If Parliament is unable to ascertain your purpose and refuses to provide you with any assistance!

The Ice Witch gazed at the distant sea.

Because the Coffin of the Sea was out of control, wave after wave of cold seawater swept in.

And in the sea breeze, there was the murmur of a great whale.

The Ice Witch poured herself another cup of black tea and gently blew on it.
"To save you, to save this sea that is about to be destroyed."

The Ice Witch came to save us... Lady Ollie was inexplicably moved.

The Ice Witch continued:
"However, this crisis has far exceeded my expectations."

Therefore, I need the help of the Moonstone City Council, and I need the help of the Magic Bullet family.

"Tonight, we will head to the White Dove newspaper office."

The legendary Ice Witch actually needs me… Lady Ollie gripped her skirt tightly.

The Ice Witch's beauty and gentle words possess a magical quality.

Lady Magic Bullet had long forgotten the purpose of the negotiation and simply nodded.

The Ice Witch said:

"By the way, I promised my disciples that I would help them advance to the Saint level. Lady Demon Bullet, you should have clues about the item that contains the rift, right? I need it."

In exchange, we can give you some dragon scales from the Coffin of the Sea.

The Ice Witch turned her head and winked her left eye at Chen Qi, indicating his agreement.

After all, the remains of the Blizzard Dragon King belonged to Dawn.

The Ice Witch hadn't forgotten us after all... Chen Qi was also touched and nodded in agreement.

But will Mrs. Oly really agree?
Lady Ollie stared at the Ice Witch, somewhat lost in thought, and said:

"Okay, okay..."

In a gentle voice, Lady Ollie agreed to many of the Ice Witch's conditions.

Lady Demon Bullet is so easy to talk to... Chen Qi was somewhat surprised to see this.

In his mind, the old things in Moonstone City were all exceptionally stubborn.

Before witnessing the true destructive power of the Sea-Overturning Disaster, they all tried to obtain the power to become saints from the Ice Witch.

At this moment, Fen walked to Chen Qi's side and said quietly:

"Teacher, you've used the witch's temptation again..."

Huh? What temptation? Chen Qi was startled.

Fen turned her head to the side and immediately explained:

"The Witch's Temptation is a simple charm skill. As long as you have enough charm, you can hypnotize the other person during a conversation."

This is one of the forbidden techniques of our Canary family, and our teacher has learned it too.

"Besides time stop, the Ice Witch also has this kind of skill?" Chen Qi looked at the Ice Witch in surprise.

Only then did she notice the faint pink magic circuits appearing in the Ice Witch's eyes.

Finn added:

"Of course, this isn't a magic bullet. To use it successfully, besides not being able to detect the spiritual power, the person being tempted must also have a certain degree of goodwill towards the user..."

"Qi, although I don't know how, I do remember how to practice this skill. Do you need me to teach you...?"

Fen, the fortune teller, didn't know how.

"But I can learn it too? In some situations, it might be incredibly effective, but unfortunately, I don't have time to study such fancy skills right now..." Chen Qi thought for a moment and said:
"Being not."

Under the guidance of the Ice Witch, Lady Magic Bullet finally agreed to many of the Ice Witch's conditions.

Whether it's the Ghost Ship of the Underworld or them and the Ice Demon Pirates, they can enter Moonstone City without any worries.

After chatting with Mayor Maro and Ann's father at the tavern and relaying some information about Ann, Chen Qi returned to the ship and sailed towards Moonstone City.

In the middle of the night, the Ghost of the Underworld arrived at the coast of Moonstone City.

I looked ahead as I opened my eyes at dawn.

If Maro Town transformed from a desolate island into a prosperous one.

At that moment, Moonstone City transformed from an unknown city into a world-renowned international metropolis!
Even at midnight, Moonstone City remains brightly lit.

On the four enormous lighthouses, twenty lightkeepers stood ready, including one who had just been promoted to a fourth-tier messenger of calamity!

Twenty warships were stationed there.

On the rune walls, the warriors were fully focused, vigilantly watching for any changes at sea.

Above the port, there were extraordinary individuals from various countries. Apart from the Blackblood Empire, which openly challenged the Kingdom of Bei, travelers from almost every other country could be seen.

The moment Chenqi's ship entered the harbor, the lighthouse keeper pointed his gun at Chenqi.

Here, the lamplighters are the most powerful people, and any ship that passes by must signal to them.

Even the chairman of Seal Logistics is no exception!

The lead lantern keeper berated him in a fierce tone:
"Hey! Stop your ships! Who gave you permission to bring in a warship flying the flag of the Water Sprites without our permission?!"

Kid, do you know you've broken the law?

Chen Qi didn't reply, but merely glanced at the lamplighter.

In an instant, the lamplighter regretted it!
He sensed the aura of a fourth-tier expert emanating from the person before him.

What's even more terrifying is that behind him is a very important figure whom you would never normally see!

Behind Chen Qi, Mrs. Auli stepped out, raised her head, and said in an even fiercer tone:

"Can't you tell this is a restaurant boat?"

"And isn't my permission enough?"
