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

Chen Qi was startled.

This woman, she was conducting secret espionage work right in front of him!

Carrying out such confidential work right in front of me, Little Crow, is this really okay?

Little Crow frowned, sweat beads rolling down her forehead as she continually twisted the strange buttons on the radio, transmitting information out across the nearby sea.

The Sirens were always close to her, and now, she had finally found an opportunity to transmit the information!

Tick tock tick tock!

Finally, she pressed the activation button on the radio.

Sent... Little Crow heaved a long sigh, her risky task for the day was complete.

With this, the pressing demands from above would stop now... Little Crow felt a huge weight lift off her heart,

Chen Qi curiously asked:

"What is this?"

This was a type of encrypted communication, he could only make out the words "deep sea" and "ritual" from the rotating buttons.

Chen Qi tried to recall.

One of the Black Whale Group's objectives in counterattacking the nearby sea, aside from gaining first-hand updates on the crack, was to conduct various rituals to seek protection from special entities.

However, these summons often resulted in the emergence of some bloodthirsty, twisted creatures.

Little Crow turned her head slightly, her lips curving into a devilish smile:

"Curiosity killed the cat, this is some confidential information sent to the Black Whale Group. You wouldn't want to know, nor should you try to guess."

Chen Qi muttered, "Dangerous..."

The more dangerous it was, the more it thrilled him.

Little Crow clapped her hands:

"Alright, we should head back to the banquet hall now, it's been over ten minutes. If we don't return now, we might be misunderstood."

Then, Little Crow quickly straightened her clothes, making sure there was nothing odd on them.

"Are we just going out like this? Aren't you going to make me do something?"

Chen Qi asked again.

Under these circumstances, it felt strange that Little Crow wasn't making him do something.

Suddenly, Little Crow blinked and seemed to come to a realization:

"Oh right, I have something on you!"

Having something on someone and not doing something about it always felt odd!

"..."

A storyline of threats... Chen Qi felt somewhat relieved in his heart.

As long as he wasn't attacked simultaneously, with the help of deep sea water elves, he had the capability to escape in the ocean.

Moreover, if Little Crow really threatened him, he could reveal that she was an undercover.

At that point, it wasn't certain who would be afraid of whom.

Little Crow fell into deep thought:

"If one day I run out of money, I might come asking you for it, and also, if one day, you see my obituary in the newspaper..."

Little Crow stared at the door in front of her, as if she saw her childhood and the time she spent preparing at the florist.

After becoming an officer, she had lost all freedom; only by firmly grasping Black Whale could she survive in the tumultuous tide.

Clap!

Little Crow pondered for a long while, then suddenly clapped her hands:

"Help me go to Moonstone City Water Flower Street's florist, buy sixteen bouquets of flowers."

Obituary, buy sixteen bouquets of flowers?

Chen Qi scratched his head, asking:

"Why sixteen?"

"Because I liked the year I was sixteen, that year I was preparing for the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom's exam, and my mother was still alive."

Then, uncharacteristically, Little Crow said:

"My former assistant, no, the little chef at the Water Elf restaurant, although I don't know your background, the most important preparation for the future in this vast ocean is to make arrangements for your own memorial day.

I've seen too many patients who, just before they die, suddenly remember they still had many things left undone.

On the ocean, one could die at any moment; you might even encounter a near-sea overlord on a safe route."

"Therefore, heirlooms, last words, wills, you should prepare all these..."

Memorial day, buying flowers, heirlooms... Chen Qi frowned.

What exactly is on the mind of this young doctor every day?

Little Crow, though young, was inherently resigned, a typical pessimist.

However, being a double agent, the probability of death was indeed very high.

"I understand."

Chen Qi agreed to her request.

Buying sixteen bouquets of flowers was not a difficult task.

He had originally thought that discovering his real identity, Little Crow would react more intensely, such as blackmailing him to carry out some confidential spy tasks.

Hearing the affirmative answer, Little Crow put her hands behind her back and smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, what are the chances of encountering a near-sea overlord in life? Little chef, I hope your Water Elf restaurant continues to thrive."

"Sure, Little Crow."

"Hm? 'Little'? Am I that small? Anyway, let's part here, little chef."

"Little Crow, isn't there anything else you want to say?"

"No."

...

...

The two returned to the banquet hall.

At this moment, the dealings in the banquet hall were heating up even more.

Little Raven kept their agreement and returned to her spot, flipping through "Encyclopedia of Sea Beasts: Uses of Slimes."

As a deep-sea enthusiast, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Chen Qi, and the deep-sea water elf perched on his head.

This thing looks like a deep-sea slime… Little Raven was filled with envy.

Darn, why did I say goodbye just like that! Why was I in such a hurry to come back!

Little Raven roared inside her head as she suddenly realized, she hadn't checked the condition of the sea beast behind Chen Qi!

How could this man, stricken with a sea beast's disease, still be alive!

As a deep-sea aficionado and a doctor, she still had so much to do!

Regret! Utter regret!

Little Raven slumped wearily onto the table.

"Still short on money…"

Chen Qi leaned against the entrance of the banquet hall, pondering about buying a boat after coming ashore.

"Chef, thank you for your help, I apologize, we were inconsiderate, exposing you to such danger,"

the Captain with golden teeth ran over, handed Chen Qi a million shell coins, doubling the agreed reward as an apology!

Doubling!

Chen Qi counted it.

Upon returning, after selling off various things he owned, he should still be able to gather around ten million shell coins.

With this one million, that would make it eleven million shell coins.

Chen Qi's goal wasn't grand, he simply wanted to buy a large travel houseboat.

On the boat, it would be sufficient to have a separate bedroom, dining room, restroom, and a 'courtyard' for basking in the sun.

If possible, he would also add a room for the water elf and the little sea witch.

If he wanted to ensure the speed of the boat, it seemed his budget was still a bit short… Chen Qi sighed.

"Hey! Little chef, you're quite rich, aren't you!"

Just then, the Siren came over again, swaying her wine glass.

This creature below is still watching me... Chen Qi looked up.

He really didn't understand why the Siren was keeping an eye on him.

The Siren came closer:

"Little chef, we've now entered the coastal waters. You must have always been doing business in coastal waters, without any experience in the Crack Sea,"

Chen Qi replied, "Actually, I've been to the Crack Sea…"

The Siren became more interested:

"Oh? Then do you know about the sea witches? My singing is just as enchanting as that of a sea witch, would you like to listen to it?"

The Siren cleared her throat.

She was extremely bored now and desperately seeking some fun, such as harassing the man in front of her right in front of Little Raven! She found it very exhilarating!

Moreover, for some reason, she always felt that the man in front of her was no ordinary person!

Chen Qi looked at the Siren speechlessly, wishing he could let her listen to his "Song of Death."

He now understood why so many players on the forums wanted to kill the Siren!

He will surely not refuse my singing, since I'm so beautiful… The Siren pulled out her violin, ready to play an Enchanting Song.

Kid! Surrender to the allure of my voice and the hem of my pomegranate dress!

The Enchanting Song, with Chen Qi's mental resistance, was something he could easily withstand.

But, contrary to Chen Qi's expectation,

amid the roaring of great waves, he couldn't hear the Siren's singing at all.

Boom!

A loud booming sound shattered the lively atmosphere of the banquet hall.

"We've collided! They're here! Ghosts, they're here!"

At the entrance, a sailor was screaming hysterically.

Everyone abruptly turned towards the direction of the main door.

"Damn, have we been caught up to then!"

The Captain with golden teeth pulled out an imitation Magic Bullet Company Gatling gun:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please protect your belongings!"

Green flames, like a tide, pushed open the door and surged into the banquet hall:

Crack! Crack!

Amid the green flames, a large number of white pirate skeletons burning with green fire appeared.

In an instant, the banquet hall was overrun with white skeletons.

From the blazing green fire, a massive green fire skeleton captain emerged behind the Siren, and with a huge ship anchor in hand, he fiercely smashed it onto the floor.

He roared fiercely, with green flames spouting from his spine:

"The future king of this sea area, the lord of the nearshore has arrived! Hand over everything you have!"

You're also the lord of the nearshore? Chen Qi looked at the nearly two meters tall green fire skeleton captain.

The Crack Sea disaster, green fire ghost pirate ship, a calamity on the sea that loved to rob and aimed to become the lord of the nearshore.

A slight smile curled up on Chen Qi's lips.

This was quite a worthy prey.
