At dusk, the sky was tinged with a gentle orange-red hue.
Chen Qi's small houseboat moved unobstructed across the ocean.
Below the sea surface, various sea beasts such as sea snakes, sharks, and jellyfish continuously swam by.
At that moment, a black-armored shark larger than the small houseboat emerged from the water, poking out its huge head, seeking a hug.
Chen Qi patted the shark's head gently and said,
"Little guy, lead the way—"
The black-armored shark swam past his feet, heading toward the distant coral land.
"We're almost there, let's stop the boat here..."
Chen Qi found a hidden black reef and then hid the small houseboat behind the rock.
He was not afraid of sea beasts, but his small houseboat was.
Like the shark just now, which was called a black-armored shark, it was covered in black armor plates and was five meters tall, even bigger than the small houseboat!
If the shark couldn't hold back its desire for a hug while approaching Chen Qi.
The entire small houseboat would be obliterated in an instant!
Chen Qi took a deep breath.
In this sea area, the water was exceptionally clear, with a large number of colorful giant corals growing.
Every now and then, small fish would spew colored bubbles from the water.
Besides, there were natural moon rocks in the sea area.
"Deep Sea Water Elf No.1, No.2, come here!"
"Waku Waku (Understood!)"
The Deep Sea Water Elves swam to the surface at an extremely fast pace and performed Water Walking with him.
Chen Qi walked towards the depths of the Sea Demon lair while observing this magnificent world.
It was like the legendary underwater palace of Atlantis.
At that moment, Chen Qi's eyes widened suddenly!
A beautiful figure emerged on the sea surface.
On the corals in the distance, a young Sea Demon was sitting cross-legged.
Its bare back was gracefully and fluidly shaped, its skin was delicate and glossy.
The seaweed-like green tentacle-like long hair sparkled in the twilight sun, with skin as delicate as snow and eyes like sapphires.
And its lower half was a magnificent fishtail, as if tailor-made by an exotic seamstress from smooth silk.
Like a mermaid princess from an underwater kingdom.
It closed its eyes, stretching its pale hand towards the sun and sang softly,
"La la la la~"
The melodious song drifted over the sea.
This is a Sea Demon, so beautiful, if only I had a camera… Chen Qi couldn't help feeling emotional.
But he thought the Flower Witch was even more beautiful.
Wait a minute!
Something's not right!
Chen Qi's cheeks suddenly flushed, his body experiencing an indescribable surge of heat, uncontrollable!
At that instant, Chen Qi had a terrifying thought.
Even if it meant making enemies with the whole world for the sake of the Sea Demon lady, it was worth the risk!
Even if just to lick the Sea Demon's fishtail, it would be worth this lifetime!
He actually wanted to kneel down, to be the dog of the Sea Demon!
It was an enchantment! A powerful enchanting song!
At that moment, there was also a huge disturbance beneath Chen Qi's feet.
The Deep Sea Water Elf beneath him was enchanted too.
"Waku Waku (Master, master I won't betray you!)"
Deep Sea Water Elf No.1, with a determined expression, spoke thus.
An indiscriminate enchanting song!
The song of the Sea Demon targeted not only humans but most intelligent beings as well.
Regardless of gender, regardless of species, it could enchant anyone!
As one of the smartest pets, the Deep Sea Water Elf naturally couldn't evade this area attack.
Not to mention, as a creature of the sea, the Sea Demon had a natural affinity.
"Huff, huff..."
Chen Qi promptly adjusted his breathing, his Second-tier profession was that of a cold-blooded assassin, naturally endowed with a moderate level of mental resistance.
Even when faced with the Sea Demon's enchanting song, he could maintain his sanity!
However, although he held on...
"Waku Waku (Master, I'm sorry!)"
But the Deep Sea Water Elf No.2 beneath him couldn't resist.
Behold, the weak-willed Deep Sea Water Elf No.2 exhibited a pleased expression, suddenly emerging from the water and diving into the embrace of the Sea Demon. Chapter Continue:
"Waku Waku (Snuggle!)"
The Deep Sea Water Elf nuzzled in the arms of the Sea Demon, showing a pleasurable expression at having abandoned its master.
Useless thing!
Chen Qi cursed under his breath.
Having lost a fulcrum, his ability to walk on water failed outright, and with a splash, he fell into the sea.
Fortunately, the quick-thinking Water Elf No. 3 withstood the siren's song and timely took over!
"Hmm~"
At this moment, the Sea Demon focused on singing, also noticed Chen Qi's movement, as well as the Water Elf in its arms.
"Huff..."
Chen Qi stood on the water again and looked at the Sea Demon anew.
As a monster, although not as intelligent as humans, the Sea Demon is still among the top few in terms of intelligence in the sea.
Chen Qi wondered what action it would take facing him.
"Wah wah wah wah!"
The moment it saw Chen Qi, the Sea Demon immediately became flustered, glancing around like a child who had done something wrong.
Panic? Chen Qi was somewhat baffled.
Suddenly, the Sea Demon had an idea, and tossed Water Elf No. 2 in its arms away like trash.
Then, it placed both hands on its stomach, bent sixty degrees, and with a sobbing sound, gave him a look that pleaded for forgiveness.
Was it apologizing because its song of charm accidentally affected me?
Chen Qi couldn't understand the language of the Sea Demon, but with the experience of interacting with Water Elves, he could roughly guess its meaning.
It seemed to be expressing an apology...
Then, the little Sea Demon straightened up suddenly and hummed softly:
"La la la la~"
At that moment, Chen Qi felt a surge of power welling up inside him.
Power surged through his body!
The feeling of heat in his body vanished in an instant!
[You have listened to the Sea Demon's Song of Resilience, and received the Steadfast Will BUFF. For the next ten minutes, your willpower will be even more steadfast.]
"Song of Resilience…"
Chen Qi decisively opened the "Sea Beast Medicinal Materials Collection Guide" by Little Crow.
This book, drafted by Little Crow himself, could be termed a complete encyclopedia of sea beasts.
Although there were no medicinal materials worth collecting from a Sea Demon, the book still contained a description of Sea Demons.
As intelligent creatures, their most powerful ability was their astonishing musical talent.
Not just the song of charm, but they also mastered the Songs of Resilience, Fear, Agility, and more.
They could even perform a technique reserved for Fourth Rank Legends — Sea Demon Chorus!
Throughout their long lives, they could master a variety of transcendent songs.
Legend has it that even a Fourth Rank Legend "Sea Demon Songstress" needs their recognition to be promoted.
This was the true terror of Sea Demons.
"It's okay."
Chen Qi accepted the Sea Demon's apology.
After apologizing, the Sea Demon, like a curious child, circled around him.
Unlike the nearby sea overlords, the Sea Demon didn't come too close to Chen Qi but maintained a certain distance.
It bowed its head, seemingly very curious about Chen Qi's thighs.
Chen Qi thought for a moment and decided to change his clothes.
This area of the sea was not devoid of human activity.
He took out the Residual Fire Touch.
The deep blue gem transformed into tidal water in the air, then the water swirled around his body.
Finally, it quickly formed into a set of Hunter's Clothes, with small tentacles spreading from the garment.
Chen Qi thought for a moment, then made a simple mask with a bandage.
This form not only provided a bonus but also concealed his identity.
Should anyone come here, it wouldn't expose his identity.
Moreover, for the Sea Demon, this tentacled form was even more handsome.
"Woo-hoo!"
The green tentacles on the Sea Demon's head moved together with its small hands.
It really liked Chen Qi in his tentacle attire.
Chen Qi looked at his first encounter with a Sea Demon.
This seaweed-like tentacle hair was also very rare among Sea Demons.
He would call it Little Seaweed—
Chen Qi thought to himself.
At that moment, Little Seaweed shook its fishtail and pointed with its finger towards the central area in the distance.
Above the sea, a large school of fish also swam toward the center of Sea Demon Coral Land.
Little Seaweed's tentacle hair moved happily, waving as a gesture.
Is it inviting me?
Little Seaweed swam its fishtail towards the center of the Sea Demon nest.
And at that moment, he heard a multitude of singing voices.
