Witch, I Swear I’m Not a Deep Sea Ancient God!

Chapter 395: The Beautiful Beast Defiled by the Black Hunter

Ten million Shell Coins for one water spirit?

Whose voice was so arrogant? Chen Qi smoothed his fake beard and curiously turned around.

Chen Qi looked around but didn't see anyone shouting.

"Where are they?"

"Here! You foolish little brother!"

Suddenly, Chen Qi felt a soft sensation against his leg.

Something extremely soft was touching his leg.

"Can't you hear me speaking?"

Chen Qi lowered his head and finally saw the source of the voice clearly.

Beside his and Fen's feet stood a small fox wearing large round gold-rimmed glasses."I'm here!"

The arrogant little fox tapped Chen Qi's leg twice with its incredibly soft little paws.

So soft! Chen Qi looked down, his pupils suddenly contracting.

This short little fox was covered in soft, plush golden fur.

Under the sunlight, faint flower patterns shimmered on its coat.

It held its head slightly raised, with a graceful form that made one want to reach out and stroke it, to feel that unparalleled softness and warmth.

At the same time, it had little paws that were entirely fluffy balls.

A noble and adorable little fox!

This was no ordinary fox!

Chen Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This was a legendary-level pet beast, known as one of the Goldenfinch Kingdom's Five Kings, the most beautiful pet beasts:

The Golden Flower King!

The Golden Flower King was also called the Flower Beauty Beast, a legendary pet beast that pursued strength, charm, and elegance simultaneously.

Only masters possessing charm, strength, and elegance together could tame it!

Of course, this arrogant little fox was just a three-year-old juvenile.

Still, this little fox possessed combat power rivaling legendary pet beasts!

Chen Qi could clearly sense that before learning the Dragon-Furnace Body, the poor, weak, and helpless Coastal Apex Predator wouldn't be a match for the little golden flower fox either!

"Human! Human! Don't look down on me!"

The little golden flower fox lay on Chen Qi's leg, continuously tapping with its soft little paws.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The proud creature seemed very dissatisfied with Chen Qi constantly looking down at it.

"So cute..."

Fen's eyes also flashed with curiosity as she crouched down.

Due to her illness, her parents never let her interact with dangerous pet beasts growing up.

She hadn't even seen pet beasts at the pinnacle of bloodlines like this one.

Let me pet it... Chen Qi also crouched down and directly picked up this pet beast that called others 'little brother' and 'human'.

Then, without hesitation, he rubbed its chin with his index finger.

As a former beast taming master and water spirit owner, Chen Qi had mastered various techniques to make pet beasts happy—

Super skilled techniques!

The chin fur was incredibly soft, clearly professionally groomed.

Moreover, golden flower foxes naturally liked fragrant scents, and Fen beside him was a woman who naturally carried floral fragrance!

"Human, don't touch my chin...

Watch your dirty hands!"

"Little sister! Come feel this fur too, it feels amazing!"

So comfortable—Chen Qi showed a perverted smile, petting while gently squeezing, alternating between light and firm pressure.

"Okay... big brother..."

Fen, who wasn't skilled with pet beasts, also gently stroked it.

"Human! I came to find you for my master... to buy... pet beasts... not..."

"Mm—"

Although the little golden flower fox remained stubborn verbally, under the combined efforts of Chen Qi and Fen, it couldn't help but make comfortable sounds.

"Mm—"

"Mmm~"

Although this little pet beast's personality wasn't as approachable as the Coastal Apex Predator, clearly having learned bad habits from its owner, it was ultimately still an adorable little pet beast.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed throughout the commercial street.

Chen Qi looked forward.

A woman with elf-like ears, wearing gold-trimmed hunter clothing, sat on the deck with a look of utter despair.

"Golden Flower Fox Lord!"

She looked despairingly at Chen Qi and Fen's merciless hands, muttering:

"Finished, finished, the lord has been defiled! The lord is no longer pure..."

"Lord..."

Wasn't this Nancy, the Seafood Sister from the Twin Pillars of the Imperial Capital? After not seeing her for a few days, why did she seem to have completely lost the ambition to taste all the seafood in the ocean... Chen Qi froze momentarily.

Chen Qi looked around and noticed people staring at them with surprised expressions.

Slightly attracted some attention.

Chen Qi stood up, coughing as he explained:

"It touched me first."

Then he put down the golden flower fox that looked quite comfortable in his hands.

As expected, this noble little fox was the pet beast of the Third Princess of the Goldenfinch Kingdom.

But that was fine—this opportunity could draw Yisha out.

If he wanted to buy the highest-level pet beast skill cards, undoubtedly, he needed to contact the highest leader of the Canary Caravan—Third Princess Yisha.

"..."

The little golden flower fox froze momentarily, staring blankly at Chen Qi and Fen's hands, then opened its mouth wide.

As a noble beauty beast, it had almost become intoxicated by two mortals' hands just now!

Fortunately! It escaped the humans' clutches in time!

It immediately ran to Nancy's side, leaped onto her head with one jump, then looked at Chen Qi and Fen with arrogant eyes.

As if nothing had happened, it said:

"Nancy! These two humans have the deep sea pet beasts our master wants! And they're very powerful deep sea pet beasts!"

The little golden flower fox got petted by someone—I must cover this up... Nancy ignored the golden flower fox, anxiously looking around.

Fortunately, most vendors here were just outsiders!

After all, in the eyes of a beast taming genius like Yisha, the little golden flower fox was her beloved object! Her lover!

Although Yisha was impolite to people, she gave all her love to pet beasts.

What these two villains had done was equivalent to publicly betraying Yisha, defiling Princess Yisha's husband!

Lady Yisha hated nothing more than her pet beasts being defiled by others!

If Yisha had witnessed this scene just now, this deck would have witnessed the tragic scene of a princess slaughtering two tourists!

Then their Canary Caravan could forget about doing business in Moonstone City!

Nancy quickly pulled golden coins from her pants pocket and distributed hush money to eyewitnesses with lightning speed.

Then she turned her head:

"You two guests! You have committed a grave sin!"

"Grave sin!"

Nancy declared their crime while walking toward Chen Qi and Fen.

"An unforgivable sin!"

She suddenly pointed her slender index finger at the tip of Chen Qi's nose:

"Remember! For your own lives, never appear before Goldenfinch Kingdom people... ever again!

Atone! Repent!"

"Is that so?"

Chen Qi tilted his head, smoothed his fake beard, and smiled slightly at Nancy.

"Repent..."

In that instant, the previously imposing Nancy froze.

She felt an enormously powerful aura from these two people!

That was the aura of fourth-tier Transcendents!

However, that wasn't the only terrifying part.

What was truly terrifying—she smelled that familiar scent.

It came from the person she longed for every night but could never obtain—the tentacle monster Black Hunter!

Nancy, who aspired to taste the ocean's flavors, had always wanted to meet the Black Hunter.

She had even participated in the Black Hunter's pursuit alongside An.

However, she had watched Chen Qi evolve from initial second-tier to third-tier, finally defeating the Pirate General to become famous across the seas!

At that time, Nancy already understood she could never taste seafood in this lifetime.

But she never imagined the Black Hunter would one day appear before her!

The Black Hunter actually came!

"Bla... Bla... Bla..."

Nancy's mouth formed an egg shape, her eyebrows flying to her forehead, her entire face twisting into an extremely shocked expression.

"Shh—"

Chen Qi slightly lowered his head, squinted his eyes, and made a shushing gesture.

Nancy felt a faint chill at her neck.

Without any words, Nancy understood the Black Hunter's smile:

Try saying it and see what happens?

If she exposed the Black Hunter's identity here!

The entire Canary Caravan would fall into enormous crisis.

And she would definitely die tragically at sea!

"Bla... Bla... Hehehe!"

Nancy forcibly pressed her oval-shaped mouth down, her long elf ears twitching, squinting her eyes to squeeze out a brilliant smile:

"Honored guests, as Lord Golden Flower Fox said, you seem to have water spirits for sale. How about ten million Shell Coins?"

This person isn't the Black Hunter, that person isn't the Flower Witch... Nancy began using her skilled self-hypnosis technique.

Ten million Shell Coins to buy a water spirit? Chen Qi glanced at Nancy.

After all, although water spirits were weak now.

Every water spirit was his beloved pet beast.

He would never sell water spirits.

Chen Qi immediately refused:

"Not selling, but I can sell other deep sea pet beasts."

"Thirty million Shell Coins!"

Nancy raised her finger to increase the price.

Not selling... Chen Qi changed the subject:

"Besides that, we also have some dragon king bones for sale.

I wonder if the Canary Caravan has any Canary family pet beast auxiliary learning skill cards for exchange?"

Pet beast auxiliary learning skill cards... Nancy froze completely.

The Canary family's specially made pet beast auxiliary learning skill cards, compared to ordinary pet beast learning cards, used flower spirits from A-rank rifts, making their cost and effectiveness far superior to ordinary skill cards.

Only legendary or higher pet beasts would need skill cards of this level.

And all Canary pet beast cards were in Princess Yisha's possession.

Only with Yisha's approval could this transaction be completed.

Can't let these merchants meet Yisha... Nancy thought to herself.

If the proud Yisha learned the Black Hunter had touched her pet beast, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The battle between Princess Yisha and the Black Hunter wasn't something they could withstand.

Just then, a familiar, haughty voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Guests, you're not beast tamers, are you? According to regulations, the Canary family's pet beast auxiliary cards cannot be sold to non-beast tamers, especially foreign beast tamers.

Although I don't know this little water spirit's value to you, we're willing to offer fifty million."

When did Princess Yisha appear!

In that instant, the many observing vendors nearby all widened their eyes and gasped.

"Princess, she actually came out..."

"So beautiful..."

"Praise you! Princess!"

Chen Qi looked at the figure behind Nancy.

Yisha walked forward gently, holding a flower umbrella.

Though young, Yisha stood 175cm tall, with fox-like arrogant eyes, exquisite clothing, and the spiritual energy field of a fourth-tier floral aspect expert, giving off an extremely powerful presence.

Unlike the sharp spiritual energy field of blade aspect sublimation, the floral aspect spiritual energy field of flower sublimation instead created a comfortable, intoxicating wonderful feeling.

"Master!"

The moment Yisha appeared, the little golden flower fox jumped into her warm embrace.

"Good, good, little golden flower fox~"

Yisha's eyes instantly softened as she gently stroked the little golden flower fox's chin and kissed it.

Then she surprisingly discovered the fur on the little golden flower fox's chin was somewhat messy!

Could it be—

Yisha immediately looked at Nancy with lion-like eyes.

Useless Nancy, failed to take care of the little golden flower fox again!

Finished! Nancy immediately explained:

"Sorry, Princess Yisha, Lord Golden Flower Fox was frightened by two honored guests just now."

"Wasn't frightened by them..."

The little golden flower fox softly defended.

Honored guests... Yisha stroked the little golden flower fox's chin while looking at Chen Qi and the other.

She focused on Fen for a moment.

As Fen had said, Yisha had long forgotten Fen's appearance, plus with Madame Oli and the Ice Witch's makeup, Yisha noticed nothing.

She has a faint floral fragrance—what brand perfume is that? Yisha asked in an extremely gentle voice:

"Who might you two honored guests be?"

Chen Qi bowed:

"Greetings, Lady Yisha, we are beast taming siblings from the White Tower Beast Taming Academy."

Chen Qi took out the documents prepared by Madame Oli and showed them to Yisha.

Yisha said softly:

"So you are friends from the White Tower Federation."

Nancy breathed a sigh of relief. Although Princess Yisha was extremely domineering internally.

As long as she wasn't in a particularly bad mood, she could maintain basic etiquette when facing outsiders.

Yisha smiled slightly and gently walked to Water Spirit No.1's side, saying:

"My apologies, I didn't notice earlier—this isn't an ordinary water spirit, but a deep sea water spirit... hmm, and it has consumed some extremely precious material..."

Yisha fell into thought, then raised two fingers:

"Two hundred million Shell Coins! Plus the pet beast auxiliary learning skill card you mentioned earlier!"

Two hundred million Shell Coins!

Everyone gasped in surprise, quickly looking at the bouncy, soft little creature by Chen Qi's feet.

This bouncy, soft little thing was worth two hundred million Shell Coins plus a special skill card.

Yisha smiled slightly.

After all, unlike ordinary water spirits, deep sea water spirits could move underwater.

Simultaneously, they could protect their masters underwater.

Moreover, this deep sea water spirit was clearly exceptional among water spirits.

With this water spirit, their Canary family's mission would take a major step forward.

Most importantly!

She, Yisha, thought this water spirit was adorable!

Bouncy, soft... Yisha touched her face with her hand, exhaling warm breath.

Two hundred million Shell Coins... Chen Qi hesitated internally for three seconds, then firmly refused:

"Not selling."

"?"

Interesting beast tamer... Yisha showed interested eyes, preparing to continue raising the price.

She, Yisha, had plenty of money! Plenty of things!

However, she didn't expect Chen Qi to directly stop her with a firm tone:

"Lady Yisha, don't raise the price further. I will absolutely never sell my water spirits!"

"Waku waku (Master! I love you!)"

Deepsea Water Spirit No.1 teared up, quickly hugging Chen Qi's leg.

It knew it was priceless in its master's heart!

Water Spirit No.1 swore internally that even if its master stopped being fragrant, it would follow its master forever, never leaving!

Can't raise the price further, might really be tempted if it goes higher... Chen Qi coughed twice, immediately changing the subject:

"Of course, Lady Yisha, we siblings have lived in the Witch Sea for some time and have many other deep sea beasts."

Although the purpose wasn't clear yet, obviously the Canary family currently needed deep sea pet beasts.

"Other pet beasts..."

But I really want it... Yisha's hand petting the little golden flower fox unconsciously lightened as she looked at the water spirit.

If this were before, she would have had her steward negotiate with Chen Qi!

But now, with the A-rank rift's arrival, deep sea beasts were most important for the Canary family to conquer the ocean.

These two fourth-tiers were the only legends they'd encountered in these seas besides pirates who sold sea beasts.

Moreover, their strength was extremely powerful, capable of taming rare pet beasts like deep sea water spirits.

Yisha suppressed her desire for the water spirit and asked in a gentle voice:

"How many sea beasts can you sell?

Friendly reminder—our Canary family doesn't accept trash fish below third-tier strength."
