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

Chapter 85 The Witch's Invitation

Chen Qi asked curiously.

At this point, Perlu's expression became as dejected as a kitten caught in the rain:

"No."

Peilu pointed to the bruises on her face.

It's clear that she got beaten up for searching for the Flower Witch.

"That's true, the Flower Witch isn't so easy to find..."

Chen Qi shook his head.

He still needs to find the Flower Witch to complete their deal.

According to the Flower Witch, once he obtains the Dragon's Breath Grass, she will find a way to locate him.

Logically speaking, even if he ran to the ends of the earth, it would be an easy task for a witch to find him.

However, if it's the Flower Witch, I always have a feeling of unease...

Let's wait here for a while.

But we might have to wait until Peilu leaves... Chen Qi lay outside the houseboat.

After being hit, Peru became surprisingly quiet.

After she finished reading the book, she fiddled with her radio for a bit.

Finally, she received a message from the Belgian Meteorological Bureau, and due to work commitments, she rode a white dove away from Flower Island.

Chen Qi lay on the boat, basking in the sun and enjoying the sea breeze.

Occasionally, I lie in a sunny spot, without any worries or goals.

Enjoy a comfortable day in the sun, until you feel like getting up.

This kind of day is pretty good too.

The small houseboat rocked slightly.

And so, Chen Qi slowly closed his eyes and drifted into a dream.

In his dream, he did not flee the Black Whale Gang, but instead chose to follow the Sawshark, fighting and killing with Little Raven and Captain Blackeye every day, striving to become a great pirate.

He was ruthless and, relying on his affinity for the deep sea, rose from an ordinary sailor to a boatswain, then a first mate, and finally a captain, owning his own ship and becoming famous throughout the seas.

Finally, his talent was recognized by his superiors.

Then he was tied up in a small dark room, where a group of kind-looking doctors curiously stripped him naked, began to dissect him, and injected him with a strange black blood potion.

My body started acting strangely.

My head is so hot, my body aches so much... Chen Qi slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

The daytime flames gradually subsided, and the sky was adorned with a layer of red clouds.

He had been sleeping for half the day.

"Are you awake?"

A gentle female voice came from beside him.

There really was a doctor next to him!
The fragrance of flowers... Chen Qi, lying on the deck, turned his head to the side.

The Flower Witch was half-squatting beside him, looking down at him.

"Flower Witch, when did you arrive?"

Chen Qi sat up groggily in the morning.

The Flower Witch answered softly:
Four hours ago.

"Didn't you call me four hours ago?"

Chen Qi had no idea that he had slept on the sea for so long without any warning.

Thankfully, it was the Flower Witch who came.

If other people or non-human beings get on his ship, then he'll be in trouble.

The Flower Witch whispered:
"I see you're sleeping soundly, and you're quite badly injured, so I don't want to disturb your sleep."

From the moment Chen Qi entered the rift to the moment he left, less than a day had passed.

Therefore, the Flower Witch assumed that Chen Qi had suffered some major blow in the rift and then escaped, which was why he had been sleeping for so long.

She thought for a moment and decided it would be better to let him sleep a little longer.

Many worries can be relieved after a good night's sleep.

"..."

Chen Qi shook his groggy head.

The Flower Witch is incredibly patient to stay in one place for four hours.

Immediately afterwards, he touched his chest, and a sharp pain emanated from his body.

Oh, it hurts!

The internal injuries inflicted by the headless skull's fall were more severe than he had imagined.

Moreover, his head is very hot; could he have contracted some strange illness again?

The Flower Witch hesitated for a moment before answering:

You might have caught a cold.

"cold……"

I touched my forehead with my hand in the morning; it was so hot.

It seems like I still have a bad cold.

Chen Qi recalled his actions over the past few days.

Playing with sea dragons in the rain, playing with dragons on volcanoes, and playing with water spirits in the sea.

It's time to catch a cold.

It would be impolite not to catch a cold.

Chen Qi took out the kettle and drank a few sips.

At this moment, the Flower Witch asked curiously:
"Are you really alright?" The Flower Witch looked at Chen Qi, whose chest had a large, obvious bruise that looked like it had been sunken in.

"It's alright, it shouldn't be a problem. It's just a minor injury, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

As long as they don't die, it's all a minor problem.

After taking a sip of water and adjusting his breathing, Chen Qi felt the pain gradually subside.

Wait, why are they talking about this? Like doctors are concerned about patients?

At a time like this, we shouldn't immediately talk about the mission or their Dragon's Breath Grass.

He managed to get his hands on a full ten Dragon's Breath Grasses.

Why didn't the Flower Witch ask him?

Chen Qi took the initiative to say:

"Flower Witch, I've already gotten my hands on the Dragon's Breath Grass."

"You got it?"

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

She thought Chen Qi had encountered something bad on Dragon's Nest Island.

Therefore, she didn't bring up the Dragon's Breath Grass, afraid of stirring up painful memories for him.
"That's so efficient."

The Flower Witch muttered to herself, as if she were seeing a workaholic speedrunning through the Rift.

Chen Qi took out ten Dragon Breath Grasses from his backpack card.

"Is it enough?"

Ten Dragon's Breath Grasses!
The flowers of the Flower Witch couldn't contain themselves any longer and sprouted several more in an instant.

Ten Dragon's Breath Grasses are enough for her to make five bottles of potion.

The Flower Witch nodded and accepted the Dragon's Breath Grass:
“That’s more than enough, actually quite a bit more. But I don’t have enough money to buy more herbs, so I can only help you make potions.”

He's really honest... Chen Qi returned to the houseboat and sailed the small houseboat out to sea.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi handed the Pale Scale Fruit to the Flower Witch.

He has already obtained the medicinal herbs.

Next up is the performance time for the Flower Witch.

"Is it genuine, or fresh Pale Scale Fruit?"

The Flower Witch took the fruit, held it in the air, and examined it carefully.

Before coming to the Kingdom of Bei, she heard from her sister that the Witch Sea was a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, with simple and honest customs, and hidden talents.

The people of the Witch Sea are indeed full of hidden talents.

Even a chef is this amazing.

The Flower Witch sighed.

Chen Qi asked:

"So, can you handle the Flower Witch?"

The Flower Witch gazed at the distant sea:
"Yes, but to make the perfect potion, I need an alchemical furnace, as well as tools for grinding medicinal herbs, and so on."

In short, I need a dedicated pharmaceutical manufacturing facility.

"Studio? Where is it?"

Chen Qi asked.

Given the current situation of the Flower Witch, it would be very difficult for her to have a studio.

After all, her bounty could buy several studios.

The Flower Witch crossed her arms over her chest:

"A mysterious island on the edge of the sea, that was my home when I was a pharmacist's apprentice."

Immediately afterwards, the Flower Witch blushed slightly and looked at Chen Qi's little houseboat with envy.

What a lovely, cozy little boat!
If only she could have her own little boat.

The Flower Witch was stubborn her whole life and didn't want to rely on others.

Moreover, her teacher had instructed her never to let outsiders into their home.

But sometimes, there's really no other way.

I need to work hard to make money… The Flower Witch coughed twice and said softly:

"Um... I don't have my own boat, so, so, could you give me a ride?"

A dazed Chen Qi looked at the impoverished Flower Witch:
"No problem, but you should be careful, my boat is going a bit fast."

"Ugh?"

Chen Qi walked into the boathouse, took out a nautical chart, and looked like a seasoned captain:
"Mark the location, let's get ready to go!"

It's time to show off our boating skills.

The Flower Witch took the sea chart and pondered for a long time:

"It should be here. I lived here when I was a child, but I can't remember it now."

Chen Qi looked at the marked area on the nautical chart and instantly became alert.

On a nautical chart, the blue area represents normal sea areas, while the area enclosed in red represents dangerous sea areas.

The areas painted in deep black signify forbidden territory that must never be entered.

Simply put, it's a matter of whoever goes dies!

Only a few idiots would venture into these dark waters.

Even the Ice Demon Pirates' sea charts lacked specific information about these black areas.

Chen Qi turned around and asked:

"Flower Witch, where exactly do you live?"
