Chapter 373 Witch's Reward

Come to the room... Fen, who was massaging the teacher's back, had a small question mark appearing above her head.

Everyone's eyes were on Chen Qi, but they were not surprised.

After all, the opponent is the black hunter!

It can be said that Chen Qi was the biggest contributor to this operation. He operated the ghost ship to support them, fought a bloody battle with Carol, and brought in the deep-sea monster Tentacle Merchant from nowhere.

If it weren't for Chen Qi, both the Ice Demon Pirates and the Flower Witch would probably be dead souls at the Black Whale Group's experimental base at this moment.

Palu looked at Chen Qi. After the fierce battle, his spiritual power field was still abundant.

When everything was settled, Palu regained consciousness and couldn't help feeling surprised.

Moreover, isn’t Chen Qi’s condition too good now?

Under normal circumstances, his physical strength should have become weaker and weaker in the Sea Coffin, but his condition was very lively, far surpassing all of them.

Moreover, not only that, Chen Qi also brought a tentacle merchant and a new super ghost ship burning with green fire!

Palu asked curiously:

"Qi, where did this ship come from?"

Good question... The Ice Witch was not in a hurry to let Chen Qi into the room. She just sipped her tea gently, showing a slightly curious expression.

A ship of this strength, without the support of a large family, must be built using ultra-rare materials from B-level cracks.

No, in terms of strength alone, it can even be said that only materials with A-level cracks can be forged!

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment.

This matter is extremely complicated.

To summarize, the sea god owed him money because he ate too much, and then asked his believers to pay him back.

At this moment, the little crow who witnessed everything had his pupils slightly dilated, and it was difficult for him to describe the scene.

She couldn't tell everyone that Chen Qi sacrificed the big boss of the sea, the Lord of Condensation!

Chen Qi thought about it and concluded:

"I went through some indescribable things. To put it simply, I bought it in the Merchant's Coffin."

"Bought it?"

After hearing this, the Ice Witch stood up and looked around Chen Qi's ship.

Today's ghost ship is completely different from what it used to be after the Merchant's Coffin's full transformation.

Now, in addition to the most important restaurant, captain's room, medical room, witch's alchemy room, water elf lounge, conference room, and washroom, Chen Qi has also specially prepared ten guest rooms, a large warehouse, and other empty rooms to accommodate more facilities in the future.

The entire ship has been fully upgraded. It can not only cross the foggy sea, but also explore the unknown marginal world to a certain extent.

Among them, the most powerful is the Ghost's Undersea Engine. The powerful Undersea Engine and hull allow the Ghost to use space jumps continuously, and at the same time, have the ability to resist liberation!

The full force of the fourth-level legend Carol hit the Ghost, but only caused some insignificant scars.

You know, even the famous giant shark battleship in the Witch Sea cannot withstand the full force of a fourth-level strongman!

"Interesting boat..."

The Ice Witch put away her curious gaze and waved her hand:

"Okay, follow me, Kai."

Now? Chen Qi was stunned for a moment.

The proud Ice Witch walked into Chen Qi's bedroom with her long legs without further explanation.

…

…

The captain's bedroom on the Ghost.

Soon after, the Ice Witch skillfully sat on Chen Qi's captain's chair, shook the flower tea in her hand, and took a sip.

The fragrant flower tea flowed down the throat and slowly spread throughout the body of the Ice Witch.

Delicious! As expected of my disciple’s flower, the Ice Witch’s face flushed slightly, her white hair naturally fell on her shoulders, and she showed an expression of enjoyment, like a happy ragdoll cat.

Although in the legend, the Ice Witch is cold and ruthless, but if you look closely, she doesn't seem as serious as the legend says... Chen Qi couldn't help but think of the scene in which time was frozen.

The Ice Witch gently put down the teacup, held her face with her hands, and said softly:

"Okay, take off your clothes."

"???"

Chen Qi raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled.

Coming again?

What is this witch talking about?

Chen Qi suddenly realized that many people seemed to want to take off his clothes.

The Ice Witch blushed and said calmly:

"Don't get me wrong, I need to check the sea beast disease on your back and measure your current strength."

"Only in this way can I give you a reward."

If Fen was not mistaken, it was Chen Qi who saved her.

According to the agreement, as the witch queen, she must give Chen Qi generous rewards.

Snap!

The Ice Witch snapped her fingers.

Soon, a tiny wormhole opened in space, revealing the treasure hidden inside.

Chen Qi's eyes gently peered into the cave entrance.

In that wormhole, there are many treasures, all of which are forbidden items that can only be mastered by a strong person at least at the fifth level!

A witch's treasure that does not belong to this era!

The Ice Witch said calmly:

"Take it off. I have plenty of treasures."

“…”

Why does it sound a little weird?

The Ice Witch is a serious person... Chen Qi thought about it and took off his shirt, revealing his powerful muscles underneath his clothes.

During these days in the Witch Sea, his physical strength has reached a new level.

Before entering the Witch Sea, his physical fitness was around 170 points.

After taking a large amount of materials from the Merchant's Coffin, plus the Lamp Sea Medicine made from the White Sea Fruit, Chen Qi's physical condition has reached an astonishing 200 points in the past few days!

For a non-cup phase legend who does not significantly transform himself, around 250 points is pretty much the limit of the physical body.

In addition, Chen Qi vaguely felt that his spiritual power was also increasing.

Even though his spiritual power has not been sublimated, in terms of combat power alone, he is already able to fight with any legend.

However, in this battle, he did not use one of his trump cards, the monster-like 'Red Form'.

This battle did not satisfy him!

The Ice Witch looked at Chen Qi's back after surgery and took a sip of tea:

"Oh? Well done~"

Then, she carefully checked Chen Qi's spiritual field again.

As Fen said, Chen Qi’s strength should not be underestimated.

Except for the fact that his spiritual power has not been sublimated, he is already a fourth-level transcendent who is capable of standing on his own. In today's ocean, no one can ignore his combat power.

In the era of Rift Tides, there will be more and more legends, but it is extremely rare to achieve such a level in such a short period of time.

Then, the Ice Witch gently brushed Chen Qi's back with her cold palm and asked:

"How did you get your deep-sea talent?"

The Ice Witch could clearly feel that Chen Qi possessed some special talents.

These talents made Chen Qi's body emit an odor that she hated extremely.

The unique smell of the deep sea!

The Ice Witch's sharp index finger gently dug into Chen Qi's back.

If Chen Qi didn't answer properly, as the executor of the sea, she would need to punish Chen Qi.

Chen Qi took a deep breath and replied:

“Inspirational talent.”

Talent? The Ice Witch was stunned for a moment.

Inspirational talent is a special state of spirituality.

Like Fen's gift of inspiration, Fen has had an unawakened affinity with nature since childhood. This special affinity allows her to more easily glimpse the beauty of extraordinary plants and master the skills of flower appearance.

Of course, these inspirational talents may seem random and innate, but in fact, they can be traced.

For example, the sacrifice of the sea god, the pollution of another world, the curse of the rift monster, the blood gift of the family, etc.

Sea beast disease, inspirational talent... The Ice Witch closed her eyes.

In the Witch Sea, it is not uncommon to find people with the gift of deep sea inspiration.

The Deep Sea Hunter, the Whale Father, and the leader of the Poseidon Group, 'Poseidon', are all people with talents.

What is really surprising is that although Chen Qi possesses the power of the deep sea, he himself does not show any signs of being polluted.

In the Witch Sea, if one wants to obtain this kind of power, one will inevitably be contaminated.

“Not a bad answer.”

The Ice Witch nodded.

Although it sounds incredible, this possibility does exist in the Ice Witch's long memory.

On the contrary, the disorder of fate made the Ice Witch even more surprised.

Why didn't this world follow the guidance of fate? The Ice Witch frowned.

The only thing she could think of was that the invasion of forbidden cracks that exceeded the A-level cracks caused some deviations.

But no matter what, destiny will return to its rightful anchor point.

The Ice Witch scanned Chen Qi from top to bottom.

Then, she sat back in the captain's chair and shook the tea in her hand:

"Not bad, I am very satisfied. In this era, you are qualified to be promoted to the fifth level."

Hmm? Chen Qi was not surprised by this answer.

He himself knew some methods to advance to level five, but those methods were too dangerous and required contact with ultra-high-level cracks.

The Ice Witch took a sip of her tea:

"Digest this first, and then I will explain the path to promotion to you in detail."

After saying that, the Ice Witch handed Chen Qi a page of book filled with spiritual runes.

Chen Qi took the page.

The words on the pages are written in an ancient rune. They are winding and intertwined with each other, like lively elves jumping on the paper!

With a light touch, you can feel subtle streams of energy rippling gently in your body!

Chen Qi's mind was suddenly filled with knowledge and tremendous energy, and prompts popped up in front of him.

Witch's Page

Nature: Book

Function: The rune page, created by the Saint of the Ice Witch's Commission at a cost of twenty years, can activate the spiritual potential of extraordinary people and quickly help them sublimate their spiritual power.

Notes from the Saint of the Book:

Are you still frustrated because you study hard and stay up all day but still can’t improve your spiritual power?

Buy the Witch's Page, and you will get a miracle in one night! 】

What kind of advertising slogan is this... Chen Qi rubbed the pages of the book gently.

Under normal circumstances, the sublimation of spiritual power requires painstaking meditation and the assistance of a large amount of extraordinary resources.

To create the Witch's Page, only a fifth-level strongman can do it.

At the same time, precious A-level crack materials are also needed!

Although the notes are a bit strange, there is no doubt that this is an extremely rare item.

In the White Tower Federation, only top-level hunters with outstanding achievements can get a small page of the book!

Chen Qi received the page:

"Thank you, Witch-sama."

The Ice Witch smiled slightly and said:

"After I take care of things, I will tell you how to advance to the fifth level."

"Next, please call Finn."

"Fin?"

Chen Qi asked doubtfully.

He could vaguely guess the Ice Witch's purpose.

In the Sea Coffin, Finn's condition worsened again.

If it weren't for the medicine in the Merchant's Coffin, Fen's journey might even have consumed twenty years of his life just to maintain the normal functioning of his body.

The Ice Witch took a sip of her tea:

"Yes, I have something to ask her."

Chen Qi nodded and finally asked:

"By the way, Ice Witch, do you want anything to eat?"

Food? The Ice Witch swallowed a mouthful of water.

She hasn't had anything good to eat in years.

In her dreams over the years, she had dreamed of enjoying a sumptuous meal countless times.

The Ice Witch swallowed a mouthful of water, and a horrible feeling of hunger and thirst spread from her stomach to her entire body.

I want to eat delicious barbecue! I want to eat sweet cake!

However, in the Sea Coffin, food is extremely scarce.

It is not easy to reach the exit of the Sea Coffin.

As the days go by, the Sea Coffin will become more and more dangerous.

The others were badly injured, now was not the time to be picky.

The Ice Witch said gently:

"Whatever, I'm not very hungry, I can eat anything, just cook according to your ideas."

Chen Qi asked:

"Really no request?"

The Ice Witch raised her head and added proudly:

"Really? I have practiced a special secret technique that allows me to go without food for a month without hibernating."

“I don’t feel any hunger at all now!”

The Ice Witch's eyes were slightly curved, and she was inexplicably proud!

That’s not what you said before... Chen Qi was speechless.

This guy's mouth might be harder than Finn's.

Forget it, let’s make something delicious for the witch.

After all, the Ice Witch is really weak now... Chen Qi took the Witch's Page, went to the deck and called Fen.

After Chen Qi left, the Ice Witch looked at the bedroom curiously.

Water fairy carpet, desk, extraordinary knowledge books, chef cooking books...

On the windowsill, the little yellow flowers of the canary family!

etc!

The little yellow flower of the canary family! The Ice Witch's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

In the Canary family, the little yellow flower is given to the closest relatives!

You know, she, Finn's great teacher, the great witch who taught Finn countless knowledge, only received a small yellow flower on her birthday, and it was smaller than this one!

Finn and that hunter's relationship is too good... The Ice Witch bit the cup gently:

"Although he is very powerful and can control his own strength, he is indeed a hateful guy..."

Bang bang.

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in."

The Ice Witch said.

"Yes, teacher."

Finn dragged his tired body into the room and closed the door.

At this moment, Fen had some plasters applied to his body to treat frostbite:

"I'm sorry, teacher. The little crow ship doctor simply treated my wound. I'm late."

After saying that, Finn raised his head, straightened his chest, and tried to stand straight.

Her teacher taught her that as a witch, she must remain elegant and mysterious no matter where and when!

Fen vaguely remembered that in her mind, the teacher had never made any mistakes, and no matter what difficulties he encountered, he always had a calm and unhurried expression!

She had never seen any timidity, uneasiness, embarrassment, panic or fear on her teacher's face.

The teachers can handle all unexpected situations properly.

That's why Fen trusts her teacher so much.

She believed that as long as she had an invincible teacher, all difficulties would be easily solved.

After the battle, the Ice Witch looked at her apprentice.

Just as the prophecy said, the little guy who once had difficulty walking has become stronger.

The Ice Witch said:

"Finn, take off your clothes."

"well???"

Fern's face flushed immediately. This was the first time she heard someone say this to her.

Finn's face almost flushed.

Why do you two have the same expression? Do I look like a frivolous person? The Ice Witch said gently:

"I'm just checking your blood flower disease and measuring your spiritual field and physical strength."

Finn said helplessly:

"No, that's Qi's bedroom..."

"Take it off!"

The Ice Witch had a blank expression on her face as she stared at Finn.

Okay... Finn turned around and shakily took off his clothes, revealing the bright red blood on his back.

Fen's skin is very white, like a carefully crafted porcelain doll, or like dewdrops in the morning light.

However, on that porcelain-like back, blood-colored flowers grew wildly on the fragile skin.

One after another, clearly visible blood roots took root beneath the fragile skin.

Beauty coexists with fragility and cruelty.

The Ice Witch drank her tea and stared at Fen's back:

"Sure enough, it's not an ordinary blood disease, it's very advanced..."

"Fen, take care of your body and the use of your strength, otherwise, you will die soon!"

Finn put on his clothes and nodded hurriedly:

"I'll pay attention, teacher."

In this brief moment, the Ice Witch covered her expression with the teacup, looked at Fen who looked optimistic, and sighed silently.

As fate would have it, Finn, you are really going to die soon...

This is the root cause of the Canary Family's misuse of the power of cracks. The only way to solve it is to contact the cracks that the Canary Family has taken in.

This required her to go to the Canary Family in person and meet those stubborn old monsters.

However, whether we can survive the disaster and leave the Witch Sea is a question... Forget it, although he is my disciple, he was originally just a tool to resurrect me... The Ice Witch defended herself.

However, if it weren't for Chen Qi's help, Fen would have probably used up at least 30 more years of his life...

At that time, even if I exhausted everything and begged the patriarch of the Canary Family, I was afraid that I would not be able to save Fen!

Little Black Hair, thank you... The Ice Witch thanked Chen Qi silently in her heart.

At this time, Finn narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, raised his arms, flexed his muscles, and said confidently:

"How is it? Teacher, have I become stronger?"

Very strong? The Ice Witch looked at Fen.

If it weren't for his affinity with life, and the ability to advance his lifespan in exchange for life, Fen's current physique would be that of a glass man who couldn't even withstand a single move of liberation.

What a weak body... the Ice Witch commented.

It forms a sharp contrast with Chen Qi's body!

Fen's physical strength is probably only one-third of Chenqi's.

No, in terms of spiritual power field, he is far inferior to Chen Qi!

Little yellow flowers appeared on Fen's head:

"Teacher! I've become stronger!"

During these days, whenever she had free time, she would devote herself to making medicine and practicing spiritual power!

Finn pretended to cast a spell, showing off his lake-like spiritual field.

The Ice Witch murmured:

“Very mediocre level.”

Finn asked doubtfully:

"What do you mean by mediocre?"

The Ice Witch said:

"To put it simply, it's garbage!"

Waste! Fen was struck by lightning, and the little yellow flower on her head instantly withered and turned into a sad little blue flower.

The witch pinched Fen's soft cheeks.

Is this the same witch in the image of destiny, the one with cold eyes, weathered and fighting two pirate generals at the same time?

Compared with the Fen in destiny, the current Fen is at least half as weak!

The Ice Witch even suspected that she might not be a match for the Pirate General, the Dragon Tamer.

Moreover, it seems to have become a little plumper.

"Too weak! Finn!"

The Ice Witch sighed.

But then, he smiled and said:

"But Finn, you are much healthier than I thought."

According to her original fate, Fen would have been riddled with holes by now.

Healthy! Finn answered happily:

"Qi's cooking is delicious!"

It turned out that it was that boy who fed it... The Ice Witch complained inwardly.

Then, Fin lowered his head and said softly:

"Teacher, you are the same as before. You look so beautiful when you smile."

In Fen's memory, the teacher's smile was mostly a wild laugh of victory over an enemy, or an elegant smile.

Most of the time, teachers have an extremely cold and icy face.

She rarely smiles so brightly.

Did I laugh? The Ice Witch was stunned for a moment and said calmly:

"As a witch, eating too much delicious food is not a good thing."

Is that so... Finn thought about it.

Ice represents ideals and asceticism, and her teacher is also an abstinent ascetic witch.

Not overeating is also a compulsory elegance lesson for a witch.

After the Ice Witch finished speaking, she gently pushed her snow-white hair back, held her face with one hand, and once again showed a calm and confident expression:

"Fen, remember, as a witch, you must remain elegant."

However, before she could finish, she smelled a fragrance.

A damnable smell of meat!
