At the bottom of the report, according to reporter Lilith's interview, Hunter An's short-term goals are to capture the Black Hunter, the Flower Witch, and the newly emerged Blade Witch.
"Targeting the two of us specifically?" Fen couldn't help but exclaim:
"A monster hunter among Third-order Transcendents, An..."
Realizing that the other party recognized him, An said:
"Hello, store manager, don't panic, I'm just an ordinary rookie hunter."
"I would also like not to panic, but you look like you want to eat me..." Fen commented helplessly in her mind.
According to the newspaper, this is a hunter who seems gentle but is actually like a weapon, ruthless in pursuit of bounties.
In the newspaper, when she killed pirates and monsters, she didn't show any emotion.
An briefly introduced himself and then turned his gaze to the potion shelf:
"Manager, I sustained some minor injuries during a previous battle. I need a potion that can heal cold injuries."
"Okay."
Fen went into the cabin and carefully selected a red potion:
"Cold Healing Potion, ten thousand Shell Coins."
"Ten thousand Shell Coins?"
An asked coldly, aware that the price for a potion healing cold injuries was quite steep.
Fen proudly explained:
"My potions are at least 20% more effective than those on the market, and they work immediately!"
"Work immediately?" An thought for a moment, then took out a Gold Coin:
"Give me a bottle."
"Alright!"
Fen was startled as this was a large transaction for her, especially since she had no flag.
Then, An took the potion and drank it down, feeling a warm current flowing within his body.
"It tastes quite good, like a breath of spring..." An nodded in satisfaction:
"Thanks, manager, for your potion."
After treating his injuries, An straightened his hunter's clothes, then couldn't help but notice the newspaper in Fen's hands:
"Miss Manager, could I borrow your newspaper? I haven't bought a new one yet."
"No problem..."
Fen passed the newspaper to him.
An opened the newspaper and carefully examined it, his cold eyes lighting up:
"Hai Ge of the Sea God Pirate Group, the noble son with the Steam Hand, as well as the Flower Witch, the Blade Witch, and the Black Hunter..."
While reading about the Black Hunter and the Witches, a change finally appeared on An's cold expression.
He gripped the newspaper tightly and said coldly:
"Indeed, the Black Hunter and the Witches are still alive..."
"Yes."
Fen agreed.
An closed the newspaper and asked confidently:
"Manager, do you think, if one day I come across the Black Hunter and the Flower Witch, I'll be able to hunt them down?"
Hunting the monsters of the sea was An's objective.
Despite the question, Fen could hear a confidence in An's voice, the confidence of someone unbeaten for many years.
"So young and already possessing such immense spiritual power, even my teacher would acknowledge him as a genius..." Fen watched An, dumbstruck.
In a moment, she thought of her siblings back home, powerful, proud, and their tremendous talent that towered like a mountain over their peers!
With a bitter smile in her heart, Fen said:
"With your strength, guest, it might be quite easy."
"Hmm..."
An pondered, then said:
"Let's hope so. By the way, Miss Manager, have you been moving with the floating dock recently?"
"Yes? What about it?"
An hesitated for a moment:
"Have you come across any good dining boats nearby? I'd like to improve my recent meals."
"Dining boat? Fen touched her chin, then answered:
"No."
"Is that so..."
An frowned, an uncommon gesture, then took one last look at the newspaper and left the place in his steamboat.
Eventually, An disappeared from Fen's sight.
"A monster indeed..." Fen sighed deeply.
Following Smiling Moon, those once dormant powerhouses also began moving on the high seas.
With her head lowered, Fen looked at the newspaper report about herself and Chen Qi, and couldn't help but think back to the white-clothed hunter she had just met.

If Chen Qi met her, it would undoubtedly mean certain death.
"I need to get stronger quickly. I hope Chen Qi will be alright..." Fen thought silently to herself, then walked into the cabin to start brewing potions needed to enter a B-rank crack.
...
...
Sea God Island, Ghost Ship, Bedroom.
Click, click—
Chen Qi chopped a Skyfire Bird Heart cooked with devil peppers into pieces with a knife and then sprinkled more chili powder on it.
The Skyfire Bird Heart, a rare ingredient he had purchased from the black market on Sea God Island for a whole million Shell Coins.
With Chen Qi's transcendent culinary skills and Soul Seasoning, consuming the Skyfire Bird Heart would directly grant him medium fire resistance, qualifying him to learn Dark Flame Fist.
As he lightly sprinkled the chili powder!
The entire heart of the Skyfire Bird ignited quickly!
If he didn't control it immediately, the whole bedroom would catch fire!
"Eat it, and get stronger!" Chen Qi didn't hesitate, opening his mouth and eating all the Skyfire Bird hearts on the table, piece by piece.
A burning sensation came from his tongue, his adam's apple moved, and soon, the essence of the Skyfire Bird was digested and quickly distributed throughout his body.
Suddenly, Chen Qi felt an intense hot flow surge in his belly, then spreading through his body, as if every part of him burst into flames.
"Almost there..." Chen Qi immediately circulated his Qi Power, adjusting his entire body, and as the Qi Power flowed continuously, he began to adapt to the fearsome heat.
Whew—
Whew————
After an indeterminable amount of time, Chen Qi finally exhaled a hot breath of scorching flame!
