Chapter 86: The Flower Witch’s Fantasy Time
Moonlight slanted down as Chen Qi gathered cabbages and carrots into a basket in the field.
Coincidentally, his daily task for today hadn’t refreshed yet, and both he and the Flower Witch had spent a great deal of energy on Flower Island.
Chen Qi’s body felt feverish, and he was especially hungry.
“Flower Witch, what do you like to eat?”
While the Flower Witch was busy with her potion-making, he decided to cook a meal to show off his culinary skills.
A few small, happy yellow flowers sprouted above the Flower Witch’s head.
“I like most vegetables, except fatty meat.”
Liking everything is the most troublesome thing, Chen Qi glanced at the vegetable field.
Besides the common cabbages and potatoes, the most plentiful crop was carrots.
His Backpack Card only had a small piece of meat left, just enough to stir-fry meat with cabbage and make a simple stir-fried shredded carrot dish.This grassland was the perfect place for an outdoor meal.
Chen Qi took out a pot, cutting board, and firewood from the Backpack Card.
Crunch, crunch, crunch!
He shredded the carrots and hand-tore the cabbage.
He poured oil, fried the meat until fragrant, then added vegetables and seasoning.
Finally, he sprinkled some Soul Seasoning and garlic sprouts.
Two fragrant vegetable stir-fries were completed.
Chen Qi eagerly tasted a bite.
Because his constitution had increased, his appetite had recently become huge, constantly craving big meat dishes.

The Flower Witch was in front of an alchemy furnace, seemingly isolated from everything around her:
“The inspiration element in the Pale Scale Fruit is too high. It requires adding three grams of Nightmare Fuel and two grams of Depression Mushrooms to counteract the excessive inspiration. Right, put these materials together and start the first heating phase.”
The Flower Witch was the type who would completely lose herself once she entered work mode.
“Such enviable talent; I get distracted easily.”
Chen Qi subconsciously paid attention to his surroundings no matter what he was doing.
He placed the dishes on a solid wood table and quietly waited for the Flower Witch to finish her work.
After a moment.
The Flower Witch wiped the sweat from her forehead. “Step one is done. Next, wait twenty minutes to carry out the second step of toxicity neutralization.”
At that moment, she sniffed the air, and her stomach rumbled loudly.
Eating was important in this world. Chen Qi took two ceramic bowls from the Backpack Card.
“Flower Witch, you’ve worked hard. Let’s eat first and continue with the potion later.”
The Flower Witch was drawn by the aroma:
“Thank you. No wonder you’re a chef, it smells amazing.”
However, she glanced at the chair by the table.
Ten years had passed, and the chair had become dilapidated and covered in dust.
As the mistress of the Witch House, how could she let a guest sit on a dusty chair? The Flower Witch rolled up her sleeves and prepared to clean the chair first.
Chen Qi didn’t hesitate. He looked at the Deepsea Water Spirits playing nearby and suddenly grabbed one:
“No need, Flower Witch. I have chairs here.”
The seven Deepsea Water Spirits had already formed a ranking from leader to seventh.
The table wasn’t high, just right to use the Deepsea Water Spirits as cushions.
He placed one water spirit by the table as a cushion.
At the same time, he also placed one under his own bottom.
The Deepsea Water Spirits were soft and sitting on them was more comfortable than a sofa.
“Won’t it hurt them to be sat on...”
The Flower Witch was startled and carefully placed her hand on the water spirit before cautiously sitting down.
“No, don’t worry. These seven have undergone professional training.”
Chen Qi replied.
The Deepsea Water Spirit beneath the Flower Witch seemed to understand but looked very unwilling.
It was a rare Deepsea Water Spirit, one of the best among water spirits, unwilling to be used as a cushion by anyone other than its owner.
Why was it that among Deepsea Water Spirits, some could be sat on by their owner, while others could only be sat on by some unknown stinky human?
Looking at the leader sat on by the owner, the water spirit revealed a jealous glare and fidgeted, showing dissatisfaction.
The Flower Witch shivered. Was she really that easily disliked by her pet?
Chen Qi gave the water spirit under her a cold glare.
Not happy now?
That was the message he sent with his eyes.
If it didn’t behave soon, he’d treat it like water to boil.
“Waku waku.”
The water spirit reluctantly settled down.
The Flower Witch shifted slightly.
So bouncy and soft!
This feeling was even more comfortable than the fire dragon leather sofa back home.
The Flower Witch began to eat.
Chen Qi took a bite of the stir-fried meat and asked:
“Flower Witch, by the way, why did you specifically warn me to be wary of the Blackfin Crew and the Sea God Crew?”
“Because, because…”
The Flower Witch choked on her words, took a sip of water, patted her chest, and slowly said:
“When I was learning potion-making as a child, these two pirate crews already existed. I was still young then, but even so, I witnessed many of their atrocities.
Even if you want to become a powerful extraordinary being, never join them. In the end, you will only become a monster, an inhuman monster.
These matters should be recorded in the Press archives. Once you become a cadre, you will never escape their grasp for life.”
The Black Whale Pirates… Chen Qi fell into thought.
To be honest, the Sawshark people had treated him relatively well.
One of the reasons he escaped the Blackfin Crew was because of the various scandals about the crew on the forums.
Pirates who should long for freedom, yet the top players in this faction were constantly restricted, like imprisoned death row inmates.
Chen Qi continued to ask, “Flower Witch, did you have a grudge with the Black Whale Pirates since childhood?”
The Flower Witch nodded and clenched her fists tightly:
“Yes. If I could, I would kill the Big Mom and Whale Father. If it weren’t for them, my teacher wouldn’t have…”
She stopped there.
She had revealed too much information.
She wasn’t afraid Chen Qi would leak it; these details were also recorded in the Press.
But for a first-tier extraordinary being, knowing too much was not a good thing.
Many secrets only bring death.
If Chen Qi were also chased by the Blackfin Crew, that would be troublesome.
She had been stubborn her whole life and disliked involving others.
Chen Qi wisely didn’t press further.
The Flower Witch’s matters were part of the Witch Sea’s main storyline, the most difficult storyline in the Witch Sea.
Chen Qi seriously reminded her:
“Flower Witch, please be careful. Living is more important than anything else.”
His understanding of the Witch Sea’s plot was limited.
But he knew the Flower Witch’s experiences were far from smooth.
Before advancing to the fourth tier, even a third-tier captain under the Blackfin Crew had enough strength to force the Flower Witch to reveal her trump card—a life-draining liberation-type move.
In short, the Flower Witch’s battle record could only be described as a complete mess.
It was only after allying with the Blade Witch later that this cycle of repeated defeats slightly improved.
Chen Qi’s eyes brightened as he asked: “By the way, Flower Witch, may I ask your name?”
