Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Chapter 102: Chapter 83 The Witch's Invitation

Chen Qi asked curiously.

At this point, Perri's expression turned listless, like a rain-drenched kitten:

"No."

Perri pointed to the bruise on her face.

It was evident that she had been beaten while searching for the Flower Witch.

"Indeed, the Flower Witch isn't that easy to find..."

Chen Qi shook his head.

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

According to the Flower Witch, once he obtained the dragon's breath grass, she had her ways to find him.

Logically speaking, even if he ran to the ends of the earth, a witch would have no trouble finding him.

But with the Flower Witch, there was always a feeling of unease...

It's better to wait here for a while.

But he might need to wait for Perri to leave... Chen Qi lay outside the boat house.

After being beaten, Perri became unexpectedly quiet.

After finishing her book, she fiddled with her radio again.

Eventually, she received a message from the Shell Country Meteorological Bureau and, due to work obligations, left Flower Island on her white dove.

And Chen Qi just lay there on the ship, basking in the sun, and feeling the sea breeze.

Sometimes, lying in a spot bathed in sunlight, with no worries, no goals.

Comfortably soaking up the sun all day, until he felt like getting up.

Days like this weren't bad at all.

The small houseboat swayed gently.

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

In his dream, he didn't escape from the Black Whale Group. Instead, he chose to follow the Sawshark, joining Little Raven and the Black-eyed Captain in their daily fights, striving to become a great pirate.

He was ruthless, and with his Deep Sea Affinity, he progressed from an ordinary sailor to bosun, then to first mate, and finally to captain, owning his own ship, famous across the seas.

In the end, his talents caught the attention of his superiors.

Then, he was tied up and taken to a small, dark room where a group of kind-looking doctors curiously stripped off his clothes and began dissecting him, injecting him with strange black Blood Medicine.

His body began to feel odd.

His head was hot, his body ached... Chen Qi slowly opened his eyes, looking up at the sky.

The flames of daylight gradually diminished, and the sky donned a layer of red twilight.

He had slept for half a day.

"Are you awake?"

Next to him, a gentle female voice spoke.

There really was a doctor by his side!

The scent of flowers... Lying on the deck, Chen Qi turned his head.

The Flower Witch was squatting next to him, looking down at him.

"Flower Witch, when did you arrive?"

Chen Qi sat up groggily.

The Flower Witch replied softly:

"Four hours ago."

"You didn't wake me up four hours ago?"

Chen Qi hadn't expected that he had slept so vulnerably on the open sea for so long.

It was a good thing the Flower Witch was the one who came.

If it had been someone else or some non-human creature that had boarded his ship, that would have been troublesome.

The Flower Witch said softly:

"You seemed to be sleeping deeply, and since you were gravely injured, I didn't want to disturb your rest."

From the time Chen Qi entered the crack, to the time he left it, not even a day had passed.

Therefore, the Flower Witch thought that Chen Qi must have suffered some major blow in the crack and then fled, that's why he slept for so long.

She thought it over and decided to let him sleep a bit longer.

A lot of worries can be alleviated with a good sleep.

"..."

Chen Qi shook his groggy head.

The Flower Witch had the patience to stay in one place for four hours, almost too patient.

Then, he touched his chest, a sharp pain shooting continuously through his body.

The wound! The blow dealt to him by the headless skeleton upon its fall had caused more internal damage than he had imagined.

Moreover, his head was so hot; he hoped he hadn't contracted some strange illness.

The Flower Witch hesitated for a moment and answered:

"You might have caught a cold."

"A cold..." Enjoy new stories from m-v l'e|-NovelBin.net

Chen Qi touched his forehead with his hand, and it was burning hot.

It seemed like a severe cold.

Chen Qi recalled his own actions over the past few days.

Playing with a sea dragon in a heavy rain, playing with a dragon on a volcano, playing with Water Elves in the sea.

It was about time he caught a cold.

Not to would be impolite.

Chen Qi took out his water bottle and took a few sips.

At this time, the Flower Witch asked curiously:

"Are you really okay?"

The Flower Witch looked at Chen Qi, and there was a substantial, obvious bruise on his chest that looked as though it had caved in.

"It's okay, it shouldn't be a problem. It's just a small injury, a few days of rest and I'll be fine."

As long as it's not fatal, it's a minor issue.

Chen Qi finished drinking a mouthful of water, adjusted his breathing, and the pain in his body gradually subsided.

Wait, why were the two of them discussing these things? It was like a doctor caring for a patient.

At this time, shouldn't they be discussing the mission first, talking about the Dragon Breath grass?

He had managed to get a whole ten stalks of Dragon Breath grass.

Why isn't the Flower Witch asking him about it?

Chen Qi took the initiative and said:

"Flower Witch, I've already got the Dragon Breath grass."

"Got it?"

A small yellow flower of surprise bloomed above the Flower Witch's head.

She had thought that Chen Qi encountered some misfortune on Dragon Nest Island.

That's why she didn't bring up the Dragon Breath grass, fearing that it might trigger his sad memories,

"That's very efficient."

The Flower Witch muttered as if she saw a workaholic speedrunning through the crack.

Chen Qi took out the ten stalks of Dragon Breath grass from his backpack card.

"Is this enough?"

Ten stalks of Dragon Breath grass!

The blossoms of the Flower Witch could hardly be contained, and she instantly grew several more.

Ten stalks of Dragon Breath grass were enough for her to make five bottles of potion.

The Flower Witch nodded and took the Dragon Breath grass:

"It's completely enough, and there are even extras, but I don't have extra money to buy the additional ingredients, so I can only help you make the potion."

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

Next, Chen Qi handed over the Pale Scale Fruit to the Flower Witch.

He had already obtained the ingredients.

Now it was the Flower Witch's time to perform.

"It's the real thing, and it's fresh Pale Scale Fruit."

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

Before coming to Shell Country, her sister had told her that the Witch Sea was blessed with outstanding people and customs, and hidden dragons crouched among the tigers.

The people of the Witch Sea really did conceal dragons among crouching tigers.

Even a Chef was this amazing.

The Flower Witch expressed her admiration.

Chen Qi asked:

"How does it look, Flower Witch, can you handle it?"

The Flower Witch looked out to the distant sea:

"I can, but to create a perfect potion, I need an alchemy furnace, as well as tools for grinding the ingredients, and so on.

In short, I need a dedicated workshop for potion-making."

"A workshop? Where?"

Chen Qi asked.

Given the Flower Witch's current circumstances, it would be tough for her to have a workshop.

After all, the bounty on her head could buy several workshops.

The Flower Witch crossed her arms:

"On a mysterious island near the edge of the sea, that was my home when I was an apprentice Pharmacist as a child."

Then, the Flower Witch blushed slightly as she gazed at Chen Qi's small houseboat, filled with envy.

What a lovely, cozy little boat!

If only she could have a boat of her own.

The Flower Witch was stubborn all her life, not wanting to rely on others.

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

But sometimes, there was no other choice.

She needed to work hard to earn money... The Flower Witch coughed twice and said softly:

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

The dizzy Chen Qi looked at the poor Flower Witch:

"No problem, but you should be aware, my boat is a bit fast."

"Huh?"

Chen Qi walked into the boat house, took out the sea chart, like a seasoned captain:

"Mark the location, ready to set sail!"

It was time to show off his boat skills.

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

"It should be here, I lived in this place when I was a child, but now I can't remember clearly."

Chen Qi looked at the spot marked on the sea chart and promptly sobered up.

On the chart, the normal sea areas were in blue, with dangerous areas wrapped in red lines.

The places smeared with deep black indicated those were Forbidden Lands, absolutely not to be entered at any cost.

In simple terms, whoever goes there dies!

Only those who had a screw loose in their head would venture into these blackened sea regions.

Even the charts of the Black Whale Group didn't contain detailed information about these black areas.

Chen Qi turned around and asked:

"Flower Witch, where exactly does your family live?"
