Chapter 115: The Sea Witch’s Apology
At dusk, the sky was painted with a gentle orange-red hue.
Chen Qi’s small houseboat sailed smoothly across the vast ocean.
Beneath the waves, sea creatures like sea snakes, sharks, and jellyfish continuously swam by.
At this moment, a black-armored shark larger than the houseboat surfaced, stretching out its massive head for a hug.
Chen Qi gently stroked the shark’s head and softly said,
“Little guy, lead the way—”
The black-armored shark swam beneath his feet, heading toward a distant coral reef.
“We’re almost there. Let’s stop the boat right here...”
Chen Qi found a concealed black reef rock and hid the small houseboat behind it.
Although he wasn’t afraid of sea beasts, his small houseboat was vulnerable.That shark, known as the black-armored shark, was covered in black scales, standing five meters tall. In size, it was even bigger than the houseboat!
If the shark lost control while wanting a hug,
The entire houseboat would vanish in an instant!
Chen Qi took a deep breath.
In this sea area, the water was exceptionally clear, with numerous vibrant, gigantic corals growing abundantly.
Occasionally, small fish blew colorful bubbles from the water.
Besides that, there were natural moonstones scattered above the sea.
“Deepsea Water Spirit Number One, Number Two, come here!”
“Waku waku (Understood!)”
The Deepsea Water Spirits swiftly swam to the surface and joined him in performing the Water Walking spell.
As Chen Qi moved deeper toward the sea witch’s lair, he observed this magnificent world.
It was just like the legendary underwater palace of Atlantis.
At that moment, Chen Qi’s eyes suddenly widened!
A beautiful silhouette appeared on the sea surface.
Perched on a distant coral was a young sea witch.
Her exposed back was elegant and smooth, her skin delicate and radiant.
Her seaweed-like green tentacle hair shimmered enchantingly in the twilight, her skin was as fine as snow, and her eyes sparkled like sapphires.
Her lower body was a magnificent fish tail, flowing like silk tailored by an exotic seamstress.
She looked exactly like a mermaid princess from an underwater kingdom.
She closed her eyes, extended her fair hand toward the sun, and softly chanted:
“La la la la~”
Her melodious song drifted over the ocean.
So this was a sea witch—truly beautiful. If only I had a camera... Chen Qi couldn’t help but marvel.
But he thought the Flower Witch was still more beautiful.
Wait!
Something was wrong!
Chen Qi’s cheeks suddenly flushed red, and an indescribable burning heat surged through his body, uncontrollable!
In that instant, a terrifying thought arose in Chen Qi’s mind.
Even if it meant going against the entire world for the sea witch, he would do it without hesitation!
Even just licking the sea witch’s fish tail would make this life worthwhile!
He actually wanted to kneel and become the sea witch’s dog!
It was enchantment! The powerfully seductive enchantment song!
At this moment, a huge movement stirred beneath Chen Qi’s feet.
The Deepsea Water Spirits under him were also enchanted.
“Waku waku (Master, master, I will never betray you!)”
Deepsea Water Spirit Number One showed a resolute expression as it said this.
The enchantment song was indiscriminate!
The sea witch’s song didn’t just target humans but most intelligent beings.
No matter male or female, no matter species, all could be enchanted!
The Deepsea Water Spirits were among the smartest of his pets and yet couldn’t escape this area attack.
Not to mention, as creatures of the sea, they had an innate affinity with the sea witch.
“Huff, huff...”
Chen Qi decisively adjusted his breathing. His second-tier profession was a cold-blooded assassin, granting him moderate mental resistance.
Even facing the sea witch’s enchanting song, he could maintain his rationality!
However, although he endured it...
“Waku waku (Master, sorry!)”
Deepsea Water Spirit Number Two beneath him couldn’t hold on.
The weak-willed Deepsea Water Spirit Number Two revealed a delighted expression, suddenly leapt out of the water, and threw itself into the sea witch’s embrace.
“Waku waku (Snuggle!)”
The Deepsea Water Spirit rubbed against the sea witch happily, showing an expression of abandoning its master.
Useless thing!
Chen Qi cursed silently.
Losing a support point, his Water Walking immediately failed, and with a splash, he fell into the sea.
Fortunately, Deepsea Water Spirit Number Three resisted the enchantment song and promptly took over as backup!
“Mm~”
At this moment, the sea witch, still focused on singing, noticed Chen Qi’s movements and the water spirit in her arms.
“Huff...”
Chen Qi regained his footing on the water and looked at the sea witch again.
Although a monster, the sea witch was one of the smartest creatures on the ocean.
He wondered what she would do facing him.
“Wah wah wah wah!”
Seeing Chen Qi, the sea witch panicked instantly, looking around anxiously like a child who had done something wrong.
Panic? Chen Qi was a bit confused.
Then, the sea witch suddenly had a bright idea, tossing Deepsea Water Spirit Number Two in her arms away like trash to a distance.
Next, she placed both hands on her abdomen, bent over at a sixty-degree angle, and with some sobbing, showed a pleading look of apology.
Did she apologize for accidentally enchanting me?
Chen Qi didn’t understand the sea witch’s language, but from experience with the Deepsea Water Spirits, he could roughly guess her meaning.
This must be an expression of apology...
Then, the young sea witch suddenly straightened her body and softly hummed:
“La la la la~”
Chen Qi immediately felt a surge of power rising within him.
Power flowed through his body!
The burning sensation instantly vanished without a trace!
[You have listened to the Sea Witch’s Resilient Song and gained the Willpower Buff. For the next ten minutes, your willpower will be strengthened.]
“Resilient Song...”
Chen Qi decisively flipped open Little Crow’s Guide to Marine Creature Medicinal Herbs.
This book, personally drafted by Little Crow, was practically an encyclopedia of marine creatures.
Although the sea witch didn’t possess medicinal herbs worth harvesting, there was still a detailed description about sea witches.
As an intelligent species, the sea witch’s most powerful ability was its astonishing musical talent.
Not only did they have the enchanting song, but they also mastered the resilient song, fearful song, agility song, and more.
There was even a fourth-tier legendary technique—the Sea Witch Grand Chorus!
Over their long lives, they could master many extraordinary songs.
Legend said that a fourth-tier legendary Sea Witch Singer had to be recognized by the sea witches to ascend.
This was what made the sea witch truly terrifying.
“It’s okay.”
Chen Qi accepted the sea witch’s apology.
After apologizing, the sea witch circled around him like a curious child.
Unlike the Coastal Apex Predators, the sea witch didn’t come close but kept a certain distance.
She lowered her head, seemingly very curious about Chen Qi’s thigh.
Chen Qi thought for a moment and decided to change his clothes.
This sea area wasn’t free of human travelers.
He took out the Ember’s Touch.
The deep blue gem transformed into a tide in midair, which then wrapped around his body.
Finally, it swiftly formed into a Hunter’s Garb, with tiny tendrils spreading from the outfit.
Chen Qi thought further and used bandages to craft a simple mask.
This form not only provided bonuses but also concealed his identity.
If anyone came here, he wouldn’t be exposed.
Moreover, for the sea witch, this tentacle-covered appearance was even cooler.
“Woohoo!”
The green tentacles on the sea witch’s hair moved like little hands.
She really liked Chen Qi dressed in the Tendril Armor.
Chen Qi looked at the first sea witch he met.
This green algae-like tentacle hair was also very rare among sea witches.
He decided to call her Little Green Algae—
At this moment, Little Green Algae shook her fish tail and pointed with her finger toward the distant central area.
Above the sea surface, large schools of fish also swam toward the center of the sea witch coral grounds.
Little Green Algae’s tentacle hair happily waved and gestured.
Was this an invitation?
Little Green Algae flicked her tail and swam toward the center of the sea witch lair.
At that moment, Chen Qi heard a massive chorus of singing.
