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

Chapter 53 Night Talk in the Forest
The campfire burned, emitting a warm and bright light.

Chen Qi used the soul seasoning, mixing in cumin and sprinkling it on.

A fragrant aroma instantly filled the air.

The Flower Witch couldn't wait to pick up a large beef skewer, put it in her mouth, blow on it, and take a bite.

Chen Qi had already eaten, so he wasn't hungry.

Speaking of which, the Flower Witch is of noble birth and should have tasted many delicacies, even some expensive and extraordinary ingredients.

The other party might be very picky about their tastes.

Chen Qi asked expectantly:
"How about it?"

The Flower Witch ate the meat, and the aroma of the meat blossomed in her mouth.

"It's...not bad...quite delicious."

The Flower Witch answered.

Although her expression remained calm, a ton of happy little yellow flowers and rare, joyful little pink flowers suddenly sprouted on her head!

To be precise, it's absolutely delicious!

Why can a chef's grilled beef skewers taste so good?

She actually thought that this simple beef skewer was the best thing she had ever eaten in her life! It was even comparable to food made from dragon meat.

What seasonings were added?!
She unconsciously quickened her pace while eating.

Chen Qi looked at the Flower Witch.

Although the Flower Witch is still trying her best to maintain table manners, her small gestures have become noticeably rude.

It's clear that the child is really hungry.

Don't choke... Chen Qi took out a bottle of sweet wine and handed it to the other person:

"By the way, Flower Witch, may I ask why you're in the Witch's Sea? And why are you here?"

Chen Qi asked curiously.

In the beginning, no one knew where the witch was.

It's quite rare for the opponent to appear in a low-level hunting ground rift.

"Uh-huh……"

The Flower Witch took the wine and gulped it down.

She ate too quickly and choked.

The Flower Witch looked at Chen Qi, seemingly without malice, but rather out of pure curiosity.

She thought for a moment and replied:

"Because of some things, I'm not rich right now. I came to this crevice to find some things and make some money along the way."

As for why it appeared in the Witch's Sea...

The Flower Witch thought for a moment and decided it wouldn't hurt to tell the other party:
"You should realize that I am no ordinary person. I have a very serious and rare disease. This disease is so rare that you don't know..."

"Bloodflower disease?"

Chen Qi uncorked the bottle and took a sip of wine.

"Alas!" The Flower Witch exclaimed in surprise, for this was an extremely rare disease!
Chen Qi looked at the Flower Witch again.

The Flower Witch is dressed in shorts and a short-sleeved top for ease of movement.

However, because it is covered with flowers, it looks like it is wearing a short floral dress.

The reason why the Flower Witch's body is covered in flowers is because of a serious disease called 'Blood Flower Disease'.

This disease is practically a curse, as flowers sprout from the body every so often.

These flowers can grant the Flower Witch power.

However, if not cleaned regularly, it will penetrate deep into the nervous system, reaching the heart and brain, eventually turning it into a terrifying monster covered in flowers.

Cleaning up these flowers is also a very difficult task. Each time you pluck a flower, it's like pulling a steel needle that's stuck deep into your flesh.

The flowers severely drain the body's life force; under normal circumstances, people who contract blood flower disease cannot live past the age of thirty.

How did you know?

The Flower Witch looked at Chen Qi curiously.

She missed an opportunity to show off her knowledge.

This is a disease unique to the Kingdom of Golden Flower Birds.

In her eyes, Chen Qi was becoming more and more mysterious.

"I've read about it in relevant books..."

Chen Qi said.

Although blood flower disease is extremely rare, it is recorded in many popular science books about strange diseases because of its beauty.

"Oh."

The Flower Witch nodded:

"You should know that Blood Flower Disease is very difficult to cure, so one of my purposes in coming to the Witch Sea is to treat Blood Flower Disease."

"Oh I got it."

Chen Qi pretended not to know.

Immediately afterwards, the Flower Witch suddenly lowered her voice:
"As for my second purpose, it is related to the secrets of the deep sea and to the distant place."

A slight smile played on her lips as she spoke in a deep voice:

"It's best if you don't know this secret."

Chen Qi frowned.

Damn it, that wretched riddle-maker!

However, he probably knew the Flower Witch's second objective.

The Flower Witch's goal is also a key part of the main storyline in the Witch Sea region:

Stop the whale!

According to the promotional video, the Great Whale is a terrifying creature from outside the New World, and it is regarded as the embodiment of nature and the personification of natural disasters.

The powerful fleet and dense cannons appeared utterly insignificant before the giant whale.

It is said that the entire rift tide originates from its breath.

At the end of the rift tide, it will cross the boundary and bring destruction to the Witch Sea.

The Great Whale is the key word in the main storyline of Witch Sea.

Both the Black Whale Pirates and the Flower Witch are related to the Great Whale.

Because the Deepsea Hunters are said to have fought against the Great Whale, the Deepsea Hunters Treasure Hunt storyline is considered a key side quest. However, according to the thinking of ordinary citizens in Moonstone City, stopping the Great Whale has nothing to do with the Flower Witch.

These matters should be left to the professional navy and the more powerful hunter organization behind the Kingdom of Beth.

With the Flower Witch's strength, she would have a hard time even facing some of the Black Whale Pirates' higher-ups, let alone contend with the Great Whale.

The Flower Witch is currently only at the third rank, just like him, and is still in her developmental stage.

Faced with the real tide, she was incredibly small and powerless.

From the other party's words, the players deduced that the Flower Witch's goal was to stop the Great Whale.

However, how she intends to stop the giant whale, and why she wants to stop it, remains a mystery.

Chen Qi glanced at the Flower Witch.

They've only met once, and aren't close enough to confide in each other.

The Flower Witch took a sip of wine, her face flushing slightly.

She hadn't had such delicious barbecue in a long time, and hadn't had a hearty meal in ages!

I'm so happy!
The Flower Witch's chatterbox was opened a little; she rested her chin on her hand and continued mysteriously:
"Do you know what? I'm not actually the Flower Witch you imagine..."

"What...aren't you the Flower Witch from a hundred years ago who turned people into fertilizer...?"

Chen Qi opened his mouth slightly, perfectly cooperating with the other person's performance.

Surprised? The Flower Witch smiled slightly:
"That's right, I am the one who inherited the title of Flower Witch. My current strength is still far from that of the legendary Flower Witch."

As she spoke, the Flower Witch's tone became slightly agitated:

"But one day, I will surpass her, and then I will give myself a new title! And then, I will become famous throughout the world!"

Famous throughout the seas...

Chen Qi smiled slightly:
"Is this so..."

As they grow stronger, as long as they don't die, sooner or later they will all become famous.

Immediately afterwards, the Flower Witch looked at Chen Qi.

Although she still felt that the other party was hiding some secrets, at least for now, he seemed to be just an ordinary chef.

This culinary skill has clearly taken a lot of practice!

The food is delicious, so the person can't be a bad one, right...?

The moonlight shone down, and the meat was almost finished.

The Flower Witch touched her little belly.

It's about time to say goodbye.

Chen Qi thought for a moment, and finally asked:
"By the way, Flower Witch, if I find the medicinal herbs, where should I look for you?"

According to game forums, the Flower Witch should have a special secret base in the Witch Sea.

The Flower Witch can be considered the strongest apothecary in the Witch Sea!
If he could obtain some special medicinal herbs, he could directly approach the Flower Witch to create powerful extraordinary potions.

"Looking for me..." The Flower Witch was startled.

The Flower Witch placed her hand on her forehead, lowered her head, and changed the subject:

"There's no need for that. You're a chef, aren't you? The seas are going to get dangerous. If you can, go out to sea less often and do more of what you want to do."

A storm is approaching, and monsters are surging forth like a tide.

Pirates, monsters—most people can only pray when faced with these terrifying beings.

In the eyes of the Flower Witch, in the face of a great disaster, ordinary people should spend time with their families, see the people they want to see, and do the things they want to do.

Looking for her...

She's a witch destined for great things! And the place she's in is definitely an extremely dangerous place!

Getting close to her will bring misfortune.

Moreover, even she herself wasn't sure how long she could survive in this wave.

"May we meet again someday, but you'd better pray you never see me again."

The Flower Witch got up and wiped the grease off her lips.

"Is this so..."

Chen Qi smiled to himself.

The main storylines of each section are all truly hellish in difficulty.

Before he transmigrated, most of the main quests were the burial grounds for players.

With his current strength, it would indeed be too dangerous for him to get involved in anything related to the Flower Witch.

But for some reason, he had a premonition that the next time he saw the Flower Witch wouldn't be long.

Chen Qi got up and tidied himself up, putting the hunter's clothes, hunting pistol, and seasonings into his backpack card:
"Until fate allows, Flower Witch."

Immediately afterward, Chen Qi glanced at the Flower Witch, and something occurred to him.

It seems the other party isn't planning to leave the rift anytime soon; they have something to take care of.

Could they really be here to find the treasure of the deep-sea hunters...? Chen Qi thought for a moment, then shook his head and left the rift.

After Chen Qi left, the Flower Witch breathed a sigh of relief.

There were still some things she hadn't finished in the cracks of the hunting grounds.

In the beginning, in order to make an elegant entrance, she simply threw away the cloak that concealed her identity.

Without this cloak, the moment she stepped out of the rift, she would definitely be chased and interviewed.

The price of elegance... The Flower Witch searched the exit carefully and finally found a tattered cloak.

After putting on the cloak, she took out a map with water balloons drawn on it, glanced at it, and shook her head.

It seems this is a fake treasure map; there's no treasure in this crack at all.

"Will we meet again on the high seas...?"

The Flower Witch walked outside, and suddenly, several melancholy little blue flowers appeared on her head.

The ocean waves were incredibly turbulent, and what she was about to do was too dangerous; she didn't want to involve the weak.

But she wasn't really sure how long she could live.

Before you die, you should eat a few good meals.

The other person's barbecue is pretty delicious.

Chefs usually own a restaurant.

Should she ask where the other party's shop is located?

I regret it, I regret it so much!
Thank you so much to Futu for the 100-coin reward, thank you to Kongshan Qingyu for the 100-coin reward, and thank you everyone for your continued reading, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes!! (><)з
P.S.: The more I read it lately, the more I felt the title was not quite right. Would it be a little better if it were renamed "Witch, Am I Really Not an Ancient God of the Deep Sea?"
