The moonlight cast slanting shadows as Chen Qi gathered cabbages and carrots into a basket in the field.
Perfect, he hadn't completed his daily task yet, and both he and the Flower Witch had spent a lot of energy on Flower Island.
Chen Qi felt hot and particularly hungry:
"Flower Witch, what would you like to eat?"
While the Flower Witch was busy making medicine, it was the perfect time for him to cook a meal and showcase his culinary skills.
A few cheerful little yellow flowers sprouted from the Flower Witch's head:
"I like all vegetables, except fatty meat."
Liking everything was actually the most troubling thing, Chen Qi glanced at the vegetable garden.
Besides the common cabbages and potatoes, carrots were the most plentifully grown.
There was just a small piece of meat left in his backpack card, just enough to make stir-fried pork with cabbage and sautéed shredded carrots.
This meadow was the perfect place for a picnic.
Chen Qi took out a pot, a cutting board, and some firewood from his backpack card.
Click, click, click, click!
He sliced the carrot and tore the cabbage by hand.
He heated the oil, sautéed the meat until it was fragrant, then added the vegetables and seasoning.
Then he sprinkled some Soul Seasoning and a bit of garlic shoots.
Two delicious vegetable stir-fries were quickly prepared.
Chen Qi couldn't wait to have a bite.
Because of his increased constitution, his appetite had been quite large lately, and he had been eating a lot of meat.

The Flower Witch was in front of an alchemical furnace, as if she was cut off from everything else:
"The inspiration element in Pale Scale Fruit is too high, I need to add three grams of Nightmare Fuel, two grams of Depress Mushrooms to counteract excessive inspiration, yes, put all these ingredients together, and start the first wave of heating."
The Flower Witch belonged to the type who became absorbed in her work and forgot herself.
"Such enviable talent, I get distracted so easily."
Chen Qi was subconsciously always aware of his surroundings, no matter what he was doing.
He placed the dishes on a solid wood table and waited quietly for the Flower Witch to finish her work.
A moment later.
The Flower Witch wiped the sweat from her forehead: "The first step is done, now, wait for twenty minutes before proceeding to the second step of toxicity neutralization."
At that moment, she sniffed the air, and her stomach growled loudly.
Eating is one of the important things in this world, Chen Qi took out two ceramic bowls from his backpack card.
"Flower Witch, you've worked hard. Let's postpone the alchemy for a bit and eat first."
The Flower Witch was attracted by the fragrance:
"Thank you, indeed, you are a chef, it smells wonderful."
However, she glanced at the side of the table.
Ten years had passed, and the chairs had become shabby and dusty.
As the mistress of the Witch's home, how could she allow a guest to sit on a dusty chair? The Flower Witch rolled up her sleeves, ready to clean the chairs first.
Chen Qi, without hesitation, looked at the water elves playing around and then suddenly grabbed one:
"No need, Flower Witch, I have a chair here."
The seven deep sea water elves had already formed a hierarchy from oldest to youngest.
The table wasn't tall, perfect for using deep sea water elves as cushions.
He placed a water elf at the side of the table to serve as a seat cushion.
At the same time, he also cushioned his own bottom with a water elf.
The deep sea water elves were soft, and sitting on them was even more comfortable than a sofa.
"Won't it hurt them…"
The Flower Witch was startled and gently sat on the water elf with cautiousness.
"No worries, they are professionally trained," Chen Qi replied.
The deep sea water elf under the Flower Witch's bottom understood something but looked quite reluctant.
It was a rare deep sea water elf, a standout among water elves, and didn't want to be used as a cushion by anyone other than its master.
Why should it be? Just because they were all deep sea water elves, some were sat upon by the master, while others had to be sat on by stinky humans from who knows where!
Looking at the eldest being sat on by the master, this deep sea water elf gave a jealous look, started squirming, and expressed its dissatisfaction.
The Flower Witch shivered a bit, wondering if she was so easily disliked by pets.
Chen Qi gave the water elf a cold glare.
You're still not happy?
He communicated with his eyes to the deep-sea Water Elf beneath the Flower Witch's bottom.

If it didn't behave, he would use it as water for boiling.
"Waku waku."
The Water Elf reluctantly settled down.
The Flower Witch shifted her buttocks.
So bouncy, so soft!
This feeling was even more comfortable than the fire dragon skin sofa back in her hometown.
The Flower Witch started to eat.
Chen Qi ate a piece of stir-fried meat and asked,
"Flower Witch, right, why did you specifically tell me to beware of the Black Whale Group and the Sea God Group?"
"Because, because..."
The Flower Witch choked, took a sip of water, patted her chest, and slowly said,
"When I was a child studying pharmacy, these two pirate groups existed. I was young then, but even so, I witnessed many of their atrocities.
Even if you want to become a powerful Transcendent, never join them. In the end, you will only become a monster, a non-human monster.
These matters should be documented in the archives at the newspaper office, and once someone becomes an officer, one can never escape their clutches."
Black Whale Group... Chen Qi fell into thought.
To be honest, the crew of the Sawshark treated him quite well.
One of the reasons he had escaped from the Black Whale Group was due to various scandals about the group discussed on forums.
Although pirates are supposed to yearn for freedom, the high-level players in this faction were restricted everywhere, like prisoners on death row.
Chen Qi continued to ask, "Flower Witch, did you have a grudge against the Black Whale Group since childhood?"
The Flower Witch nodded and clenched her fists,
"Yes, if I could, I'd kill Auntie, kill Father Whale. If it weren't for them, my teacher would not have..."
At this point, the Flower Witch stopped short.
The information she revealed was obviously a bit too much.
She wasn't afraid of Chen Qi leaking the information, as these details were also recorded in the newspaper.
But for a First Order Transcendent, knowing too much wasn't a good thing.
Many secrets only bring death.
If Chen Qi were also hunted by the Black Whale Group, that would be troublesome.
She was stubborn all her life and disliked involving others.
Chen Qi tactfully asked no further questions.
The matter of the Flower Witch was deeply connected to the main storyline of the Witch Sea, which also happens to be the toughest main storyline of the Witch Sea.
Chen Qi solemnly reminded her,
"Flower Witch, please be very careful, surviving is more important than anything else."
His understanding of the Witch Sea's plot was limited.
But he knew that the Flower Witch's experiences were far from smooth sailing.
The Flower Witch finished off half a bowl of shredded carrots and changed the topic, sporting a slightly arrogant expression:
"Well, Chef Sir, don't worry, I am the one who inherited the title of Flower Witch.
Ordinary pirates, I don't even take them seriously. Someday, after fulfilling the previous witch's wish, my name will echo across these seas.
By then, you'll be the chef friend of the new Legend Witch."
The Flower Witch smiled, already envisioning her future.
In her fantasies, she beat the Black Whale Group with unparalleled strength and luck, and kicked the Black Ship Sea Dragon.
She became a celebrity of the seas, received rewards from the city lord, and made headlines in the Dove Times!
Eventually, she became a legendary Witch, surpassing the First Generation Flower Witch!
Passersby would greet her on the street, and she could dine in restaurants without paying.
After returning to the family that had looked down on her, she could hold her head high with pride.
The Flower Witch ate a piece of cabbage and wore a pleased expression.
Now was the time for fantasies.
"Hopefully, this day will come sooner."
Chen Qi sighed inwardly, unlike other invincible protagonists in different sects.
In her confrontations with the Black Whale Group, the Flower Witch was often disastrously defeated.
Without advancing to the Fourth Rank, a Third Rank captain under the Black Whale Group could force out the Flower Witch's last resort, a life-consuming type of release move.
All in all, the Flower Witch's battle record could only be described as a complete mess.
It wasn't until later, after joining forces with the Blade Witch, that this steadily defeated situation began to improve slightly.
Chen Qi's eyes shone brightly as he asked, "By the way, Flower Witch, may I ask your name?"
