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

Chapter 506 Outsiders
A hunter standing at the peak of the fourth tier... Chen Qi glanced at the two of them.

"Would you like to see what color my hair is?" Chen Qi said.

"Is it someone named Daphne who asked you to find someone?"

Booker was startled:
"You all know Lady Daphne's name!?"

Daphne is quite young in the Canary family, yet she commands a Hunter Association that rivals an army.

In the art capital, her name is even more famous than that of many royal families.

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

However, logically speaking, Daphne should not know about his affairs.

The story of the Witch Sea wouldn't have reached the art capital.

Moreover, even if they knew that the black hunter who killed the whale was not a fourth-tier hunter.

It is the power of the forbidden rift… Chen Qi pondered.

Daphne's understanding of him should still be limited to the forbidden rift.

The moment Daphne saw him in the rift, she wanted to make a pact with him and offer him to the Beast of Flowers.

I recall a moment in the morning.

Fortunately, the contract he made with Daphne while he was in the rift had no effect.

During his journey through the Ember Rift, he was merely an incredibly powerful fourth-tier transcendent.

Therefore, Daphne's strength is still at the fourth level.

My goal this time is to cure Fen's Blood Flower Disease, and perhaps I'll need Daphne's help... Chen Qi asked:
"Do you know where Daphne is?"

Booker said:

"The Sacred Beast Festival begins this year, according to my grandfather's orders."

All members of the Canary family, under any circumstances, must return to the family.

Daphne should also be in the gilded mansion in the art capital.

Booker said:

Do you know that hunter?

Finding Daphne shouldn't be too difficult... Chen Qi thought for a moment:

"Well, I know a little bit."

Chen Qi nodded.

After gathering information and establishing a firm foothold in the art capital, I'll go find Daphne.

Booker said:

"Um, Qi, although you are a fifth-order individual."

But it's best not to reveal this easily; the Canary family isn't friendly to outsiders.

Booker shook his head.

As a member of the family, he knew all too well that this vast family was rife with infighting.

"Ah."

Chen Qi nodded.

……

……

The midday sun was particularly dazzling.

Totoro's silhouette cast a long, thin shadow on the muddy path.

The sound of waves of wheat rippling could be heard.

I looked ahead as I opened my eyes at dawn.

A manor full of flowers appeared before everyone's eyes.

Fen leaned closer to Chen Qi:

"Aww! This is a flower field, a place to grow flowers!"

When I was little, I planted carnivorous plants here!

"It seems like this is a cotton-growing area. We produce all the fabric for our clothes ourselves."

"Hehe! Qi, guess what's growing here?"

"Hmm, wheat?"

Chen Qi couldn't recognize these seedlings at all.

"These are where you grow little yellow flowers!"

"Also, this is where I grow my potions!"

After returning home, Fen began to talk non-stop.

Chen Qi smiled slightly.

They arrived.

An elderly head maid walked over to the gate of the manor.

Booker immediately burst into laughter:
"Alice, Fen is back!"

Immediately prepare hot water and fresh clothes for the guests, and arrange their rooms.

The head maid said:
"Mr. Booker, um, um..."

"what happened?"

Booker detected a hint of panic in the head maid's eyes.

The head maid said:
"Mr. Harlin is looking for you, and Miss Fen as well."

"Brother! And Fen..."

Booker swallowed a mouthful of water.

Harlin is his older brother, only two years older than him.

However, this was vastly different from his status within the family.

Harlin commands a mercenary group of one hundred men and is one of the chieftain's confidants.

Huh? Chen Qi was startled.

Logically speaking, the others should not know that Fen has returned.

Led by the head maid, the group entered the manor's reception hall.

At the table in the very center, a man is drinking tea.

Like Booker, he had a mustache, but the scars on his face gave him a ruthless look.

Harlin took a sip of tea.

boom!
"This flower tea is completely substandard!"

His gaze fell upon the kneeling servant, and he said:

"Next time you serve such inferior food to your guests, I will kill you all."

"As ordered."

The servants bowed and scraped before Harlin.

They knew that not all nobles were as kind as Fen's family.

Especially this kind of legendary advancement to the fourth rank.

When Booker saw Harlin, his tone softened unconsciously:
"Brother, is something the matter?"

Harlin is his older brother, and he helped Finn and the others a lot.

Harlem is a person who places extreme importance on hierarchy.

Fen's unauthorized trip to the Witch's Sea went against his wishes, so Harlin has been making things difficult for them.

"I didn't come to see a piece of trash like you."

The chieftain has given the order: Fen must return for this sacred beast sacrifice, or else…

Harlin's gaze turned cold, and he immediately saw the group of people behind Booker and Xiang.

“Fen…”

A smile immediately appeared on Harlem's lips:
"My dear niece, it's been a long time."

Our family thought you'd been killed by that swindler from that desolate place.

When Fen saw Harlin, she hid behind Chen Qi and hugged him tightly.

Chen Qi felt the warmth behind him.

Fen seemed to be trembling.

Fen seemed very afraid of her uncle.

Fen said softly:
"My uncle is a ruthless man."

Booker immediately asked:

"Brother, what do you want to see Fen about?"

Harlin ignored Booker and focused his gaze on Finn's head.

A terrifying little black flower suddenly sprouted from the top of its head.

This means that Fen's blood flower disease is not cured yet!
Harlin said:

“Fin, I told you long ago, the white-haired, red-eyed prophet you all talk about is nothing but a complete fraud…”

"To dedicate your youth to that white-clad liar is to waste your talent."

Harlin said.

"This witch is in a good mood today and doesn't want to kill you."

Big White stretched and yawned:
"Maid, please find me a comfortable room..."

Big White Hair went upstairs skillfully, as if this were her home.

Huh? Chen Qi was startled.

The big white-haired girl completely ignored the insults hurled at her.

This guy? Harlin frowned:
"You still believe this liar?"

This guy really deserves a beating… Chen Qi thought for a moment and asked:
"So, do you have any way to cure Fen?"

"Who is this guy?" Harlin said confidently.

"There is no way to prevent it; the Blood Flower Disease is a trial by the Earth Mother Goddess."

The best fate for those afflicted with the Blood Flower Disease is to be offered to the Beast of a Hundred Flowers!

After speaking, he fixed his gaze on Fen:
"While she's still alive."

"Also, who is this young man with black hair?"

Outsiders are not allowed to participate in our conversation.

Booker immediately said;

“Brother, this is Fen’s boyfriend whom she met in the Kingdom of Belarus…”

boom!
Suddenly, Harlin slammed his fist on the table.

The many servants who were watching trembled and knelt down.

Harlin unleashed the domineering aura of a fourth-tier legendary superhuman!

A wild, savage rage flashed in Harlem's eyes:
"Booker! Who gave you permission to arrange Fen's marriage without my consent... You should know that in the family, everyone's marriage must be approved by the patriarch, without exception!"

"How dare you presume to marry Fen to an unknown person from the Kingdom of Bei!"

Harlin said.

Booker said:

"But, but..."

In the canary family, only the most powerful members are allowed to have free marriage.

"Hey old man, hasn't anyone taught you manners?"

Chen Qi interrupted Harlin.

Old man... Harlin turned his gaze to Fen and Chenqi.

From the very beginning, he sensed that something was wrong with the spiritual energy fields of these people.

Unfortunately, spiritual detection was not his forte.

Could it be that Finn has advanced to the fourth rank and even found a fourth-rank boyfriend? Harlin's tone softened:
"I was indeed a bit rude just now."

"But, kid, etiquette only applies to elders towards younger people..."

Chen Qi raised his hand.

Boom!

Before Harlin could finish speaking, a powerful sense of oppression came over him!
It felt as if a giant hand was pressing down on his neck!
The ground suddenly cracked and fissured, and Harlin's bones were shattered!

"Attack me!" Harlin's face contorted instantly, and he was in excruciating pain.

At this moment, Harlem was like a salted fish that had been held down and was struggling frantically.

Chen Qi shook his head.

Harlin's spiritual energy field is not strong among fourth-tier cultivators; he can easily overwhelm Harlin simply by suppressing his spiritual energy.

Booker sighed:

"Brother, can you please stop interrupting me?"

Both of them were at the fifth rank.

Fifth rank... Harlin, pinned to the ground, bled profusely, his eyes flashing with unprecedented disbelief.

He looked up and stared at Fen in shock.

Fen, who was suffering from Blood Flower Disease, did not die soon, and even advanced to the fifth rank!

"Oh right, I'm a fifth-order..." Fen realized at that moment.

Long ago, because Harlin was a fourth-order superhuman.

In addition, Harlem was always very fierce, which is why she was afraid of him.

But now, she is a fifth-tier life alchemist.

If she wanted to, she could melt Harlem's life in an instant.

"Qi, don't do this..."

"Fen said softly."

Harlin is her uncle.

Although Harlem was extremely arrogant, he continued to help their family.

Back then, if it weren't for Harlin, she wouldn't even have had the chance to see the clan chief when she contracted the Blood Flower Disease.

"is it?"

Chen Qi thought for a moment and then suppressed his spiritual pressure.

He had a very bad first impression of the person in front of him.

"Cough! Cough!"

Covered in blood, Harlin struggled to his feet:

"You, you actually..."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner that you were fifth-order?"

"You should have said so earlier!" Harlin spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Fen, and…”

Chen Qi said:

Call me Qi.

"Lord Qi! It's our first meeting, I forgot to entertain you."

Harlin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and like a chameleon, instantly became ingratiating.

"Just now, I was wrong, I actually dared to talk back..."

He patted his face and immediately ordered his servants to make tea.

Such a quick change in attitude... Chen Qi was taken aback.

Harlem, who was ambushed, showed no anger in his eyes, but rather an unusual joy!
Chen Qi thought to himself.

If the Ice Witch values ​​elegance, then Harlin before us is someone who places extreme importance on hierarchy.

"Never mind..." Chen Qi thought for a moment.

At least for now, Harlem has shown no malice, only arrogance.

Finn's father relayed their story to Harlin.

After hearing this, Harlin's eyes widened in disbelief:

"You mean..."

"Fen went to the Witch Sea, advanced to the fifth rank, and even found a fifth-rank boyfriend!"
At the same time, they also brought back the white-haired, red-eyed prophet, the legendary Ice Witch!

Fifth tier...

Harlin swallowed a mouthful of water, the black tea in his hand trembling uncontrollably.

Within the Canary family, there are also many smaller families and factions.

However, among so many factions, it is extremely rare to find one with three fifth-tier transcendents!

Harlin was shocked.

From a young age, his parents taught him that he must strengthen the declining power of their family!

Only by doing this can one survive the brutal family struggles.

Those who lack ability will eventually lose their canary status and become nourishment!
However, ever since he could remember, members of his family had frequently died from strange illnesses.

Even the most talented Fern was afflicted with the incurable disease, Blood Flower Disease.

Throughout his life, he constantly sought out powerful individuals and expanded their influence within his family through marriage alliances.

However, despite his humble efforts and lifelong dedication, he only managed to cultivate three fourth-tier extraordinary individuals!
Both of them were acquired through marriage!

And Fen's return brought back three Tier 5 warriors!
Fifth rank... Harlin found it increasingly terrifying the more he thought about it.

This is already enough to rival the factions of Daphne and Princess Isabella!

He asked carefully:

"Lord Qi, are you really Fen's friend?"

Chen Qi said:

"Of course, to be precise, we came here precisely to cure Fen's blood flower disease."

Fen hugged Chenqi:
"Uncle, you don't need to call me Qi, just call me Lord Qi..."

"Fen, you don't understand, he's a fifth-tier cultivator..."

Harlin corrected.

Booker said with a smile:

"Yes, Qi is not only Fen's friend, but also Fen's lover."

If he can pass our family's test, he can join the Canary family and become Finn's husband..."

Booker's eyes were determined; he was ready to take Chen Qi's test.

A test? Harlin looked at Booker as if he were a fool.

You are testing a fifth-order player!
Harlem's eyes were filled with speechlessness:

"Booker, he has passed the test."

In the Canary Clan, strength is paramount, and once someone marries a member of the clan, they become part of the Canary Clan.

All outsiders joining the Canary Family must pass an assessment.

However, that only applies to fourth-tier transcendents!
In Harlin's eyes, Fen and Chenqi are a match made in heaven!

Sigh! Fen's face instantly turned bright red, and she said:
"No, no, the marriage arrangements haven't been discussed yet..."

"Marriage, marriage, no, Qi, you haven't agreed yet..."

Mingming Chenqi hasn't agreed to the marriage proposal yet!

But her parents and her uncle were discussing her marriage to Chen Qi.

Qi hasn't agreed yet!
Fen secretly glanced at Chen Qi, watching his reaction.

What if Qi doesn't agree and we're not prepared...?

What if Qi doesn't want to join the Canary Family?
What if there are other people involved...?

What if, what if… Fen muttered to herself, a little fear blooming on her forehead.

Chen Qi thought for a moment and asked:

"Harlin, let me ask you again, do you really have no way to cure Fen's blood flower disease?"

More important than getting married is curing Fen's blood flower disease.

If Finn dies, everything will be meaningless.

Harlin pondered for a moment.

In the late stages of blood flower disease, there is no cure; this is common knowledge.

However, fifth-tier transcendents are beings capable of overturning common sense!

If both of them were at the fifth rank, things might be different… Harlin lowered his head, pondered for a long time, and then said:

"There may be a strong person in the family who knows some methods."

However, the clan chief will never help outsiders, nor will he allow anyone else to help outsiders…

"outsider?"

Chen Qi asked.

Harlin said:

"Yes, it's a family rule."

Although it was ruthless, even Fen, who had advanced to the fifth rank, could not elicit any pity from the family.

Everyone fell into a brief silence.

In Harlin's words, it was as if Fen, in the late stages of the Blood Flower disease, was no longer worthy of any salvation from the family.

Even though she was already a fifth-order saint.

Harlin pondered for a long time, then took out a supernatural communication card and said:
"Gentlemen, this matter is very unusual."

Can I contact the clan leader now?
