“Shh, don’t make a sound…”
An’s eyes were cold as she stood in front of Chen Qi, pointing her staff at the small houseboat.
Suddenly, a fierce gale swept through the surroundings, spiritual energy converging at the tip of her staff!
A re thief would be brought to justice by her!
This is bad!
Chen Qi placed his hand on his forehead.
That restless little black flower was undoubtedly the Flower Witch.
Why would the Flower Witch sneak onto his boat?
An was an official of Beiguo, and right now, the Flower Witch was on Beiguo’s official wanted list.
If An truly discovered the Flower Witch, she might stuff her into a sack and turn her in for the reward.
Most importantly, in this bustling dock area, the Flower Witch’s identity must not be exposed!
He had to stop An Aotian from discovering the Flower Witch’s true identity.
First, the Flower Witch had to hide properly… Chen Qi organized his words carefully.
Then, the Flower Witch poked half her head out of the ship’s window.
Stare—
Although the hood concealed her eyes, Chen Qi could still feel a sharp gaze filled with a hint of hostility.
Being suddenly pointed at by a staff was no pleasant experience.
“…”
Chen Qi was montarily stunned.
“Hmm?”
An’s grip on the staff slightly loosened.
This didn’t seem like a thief. When facing a spell cannon about to be unleashed, a thief’s first reaction would be to run!
She knew that once she fired this spell cannon, the small houseboat would be reduced to ashes!
But the other party, facing such overwhelming spiritual energy, seed ready to fight her and showed no fear at all.
Moreover, their own spiritual energy field was orderly, not chaotic.
A master!
And there was a faint scent of perfu.
A young woman?
In that instant, An thought of her senior from Royal University who loved eating seafood.
Who is this? Why is she on your boat? An tilted her head and asked coldly:
“Qi, who is this?”
“A fanatic foodie, a loyal fan of Moonlight Fish, like , an informant for The Press.”
Chen Qi gave the Flower Witch a vague identity:
“She’s spent quite a bit of money at my street restaurant, so she’s sowhat familiar, but quite laid-back overall.”
A fanatic foodie…
Since the dining boat was a business place, it made so sense for a foodie to be waiting in the restaurant.
An blinked and leaned in to whisper:
“But why is she dressed so thickly?”
The Flower Witch quickly lowered her head again, not wanting An to see her.
Chen Qi explained, “She’s sick; there’s sothing strange about her face.”
No one was easier to recognize than a witch with flowers growing on her face.
An was suddenly shocked, realizing her mistake.
In the path of cultivating as a transcendent, many people’s appearances beca distorted.
She had just threatened a patient.
An put away her staff and bowed:
“My deepest apologies for the earlier rudeness.”
Stare—
The Flower Witch replied timidly:
“It’s okay…”
An raised her head; her blue eyes were like a hawk, curiously staring at the Flower Witch, then looking curiously at Chen Qi.
Sothing was wrong, very wrong!
Although she sensed sothing off, it was extrely rude to lift soone’s cloak in public.
Perhaps, as Chen Qi said, the other party was just inconvenient to be seen.
But she hadn’t expected Chen Qi already had his own fan.
There was so fishy business! An withdrew her gaze, cleared her throat twice: “I’ll take my leave now. If fate allows, see you at Sea Monster Gorge.”
“Goodbye.”
……
……
Wait, did I say I would definitely go to Sea Monster Gorge?
Chen Qi turned his head to watch An disappear at the end of the harbor and exhaled deeply.
Finally gone.
The Flower Witch almost got caught alive by Beiguo’s officials!
Luckily, it was An who found her; if it had been Pelu, the consequences were unimaginable.
Chen Qi walked into the cabin, started the small houseboat’s engine, and imdiately headed toward the empty sea.
He needed to find a quiet place to digest his second-rank profession card.
When the small houseboat stopped over the empty sea, Chen Qi looked back.
The Flower Witch had taken off her cloak, sitting on the table, with little blue flowers of guilt and sadness popping up over her head, then little red flowers of anger.
At the sa ti, her expression kept changing.
Torn…
Finally, the guilty blue flowers won over the angry red flowers.
The Flower Witch clasped her hands and apologized:
“Sorry, I saw a bounty hunter at the dock, I was afraid of being discovered, so I secretly picked the lock and sneaked in.”
Is that so… Chen Qi replied:
“It’s okay. When I have ti, I’ll make a key for you.”
Anyway, his small houseboat didn’t have anything valuable.
The Flower Witch seed to have no fixed residence.
Her current situation was truly grim and required constant caution.
Her bounty had mysteriously increased by twenty million, reaching twenty-two million.
Hearing Chen Qi speak, the Flower Witch’s cheeks flushed slightly, feeling much relieved, resting her face on her hands and asking:
“Chef, that person seed really strong!”
A little red flower popped up on her head as she pouted and asked:
“Who is she?”
The Flower Witch’s concealnt skills were very strong.
But she never imagined that such perfect hiding would be instantly discovered.
She even had the fleeting thought that An might be stronger than her!
Chen Qi answered:
“She’s An, the novice ntor from Damarro Town, a very powerful mage.”
“Novice ntor, An…”
The Flower Witch crossed her arms, deep in thought.
Then, she clenched her fists tightly, staring hard at Chen Qi.
A strange feeling…
She wanted to say sothing to Chen Qi but didn’t know how to start.
Chen Qi stopped the small houseboat:
“Flower Witch, please wait a mont. Before handling anything, I must digest the second-rank profession card first.”
Digesting the second-rank profession card!
The Flower Witch was shocked. They had only been separated for twenty days, and Chen Qi had already found a second-rank profession card.
Moreover, it seed to be a rare Lamp Shadow Affinity Profession Card!
The Flower Witch said nothing more, knowing that digesting a second-rank profession card required silence.
Chen Qi took out the card.
Now, he t the usage conditions for “the Shadow Assassin who wants to travel”!
Chen Qi steeled himself and bit his right hand.
A large amount of fresh blood dripped from his hand, soaking the card.
The card seed to lt in the blood, gradually rging with it.
Finally, the card’s transcendent power fused with the blood, then spread into his soul.
A prompt appeared before his eyes!
[You are digesting the power of Lamp and Shadow.]
Chen Qi closed his eyes; his face instantly turned bright red, and his body grew hot.
At that mont, he felt like an iron sword on a furnace, hamred relentlessly by transcendent power to be reforged.
He also felt like an empty pot being filled with vast amounts of strange knowledge.
Besides that, Hunter Ember deep in his soul resonated with this transcendent power.
His body, soul, and spiritual energy source were all sublimating!
Birds flew overhead, waves gently brushed the small houseboat…
……
After an unknown amount of ti, Chen Qi opened his eyes again.
The burning sensation in his body gradually faded.
His entire spiritual aura had changed dramatically!
At this mont, he clearly knew that he had beco a second-rank transcendent, a Shadow Assassin!
Chen Qi turned his head, his body feeling waves of exhaustion.
At this mont, after waiting for two full hours, the Flower Witch stretched out her pale right hand toward Chen Qi, opening her five fingers.
“?”
What was she going to do? Chen Qi was puzzled.
Then, the Flower Witch’s small right hand moved downward, rubbing her index finger and thumb, then upward again.
Snap!
After a crisp finger snap,
a small celebratory yellow flower appeared on the Flower Witch’s right hand:
“Congratulations! You have been promoted to second-rank, Qi!”
