Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

"You even dare to interview this..." Chen Qi even felt that even if the Father Whale from the Black Whale Group, or the legendary Ice Witch appeared, she would dare to go up for an interview!

This is the purebred Light Phase Transcendent...

Trouble... Chen Qi lightly tapped the blade of her long sword.

Actually, accepting Perle's interview wasn't impossible.

Anyway, after Perle returns to Moonstone City, she would report on today's events, and no one could stop her.

However, agreeing to an interview with Perle couldn't be taken lightly.

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

Although he bore no animosity towards Perle, he absolutely couldn't appear overly friendly, or else Perle would only become more and more presumptuous.

Moreover, maintaining his image was very important.

Appearing overly friendly would make others take advantage of him.

Appearing too dangerous would lead to being hunted by Shell Country's Hunter Group.

Chen Qi pondered slightly:

"Okay, but, you must pay the corresponding price."

At the mention of the price, Perle stared at the thick tentacles and shakily lifted her camera:

"Mr. Black Hunter? May I ask, what price?"

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

Perle was the biggest and most satisfying source of information in Moonstone City after all.

A qualified Second-order Transcendent needed to possess movement technique, defensive, and perception skills.

And he had mastered all of these.

Besides, a qualified Second-order Transcendent also needed a skill to enhance their spiritual power origin, as well as their physical body origin.

And his body was already strong enough, the most important was the skill to enhance spiritual power origin.

Simply put, what he lacked were advanced techniques in breathing or meditation, a kind that could regularize and sublimate one's Qi Power and spiritual power origin.

However, although these skills were considered essential for a qualified second-tier Transcendent in the guides, the number of Second-order Transcendents who could truly complete them was very few indeed.

But approaching Perle for such skills as Black Hunter wasn't a good choice.

It would make him seem poor and weak.

He needed to change the question... Chen Qi thought for a moment, tapping his long sword:

"Information about Doctor Crow, the Cloaked Elder, or the Sirens."

"!!!"

Perle opened her mouth slightly.

In fact, she had also been tracking information on these three recently.

According to the intelligence, these three were lurking in the coastal waters, preparing to make a big move!

If they really managed to summon deep-sea monsters, it would definitely plunge the coastal waters into massive chaos.

"I'm very sorry!"

Perle spoke again with a tremble:

"That... I haven't found their whereabouts yet, only some information about their identities."

Chen Qi turned his head to think:

"These pieces of information will do, as for the rest, I can give you some time."

Immediately, Perle nodded:

"I'll do my best! Black Hunter!"

"Of course, if you don't succeed..."

Chen Qi smiled slightly, making a gesture as if crushing a skull while stomping his right foot heavily.

The Ghost Ship captain's head made a cracking sound.

Bang!

Perle felt a phantom pain in her head, knowing that if she didn't succeed, her head would meet the same fate as the Ghost Ship captain's.

Chen Qi thought to himself.

If she doesn't succeed, Deep Sea Water Elf No. 1 would climb to her bedside while she was sleeping and give her a bubble punch to the head!

"I understand... I'll do my best."

Then, Perle took out some paper and a quill, asking curiously:

"Mr. Black Hunter, may I interview you now?"

She was extremely excited, although she hadn't interviewed the Flower Witch, interviewing the Black Hunter was also a great achievement!

"You may."

Chen Qi organized his thoughts.

Even if he didn't accept the interview, Perle would still fabricate stories based on her imagination.

He might as well try to see if he could shape a good image of himself in the Witch Sea through his answers.

Perle blinked:

"May I ask, what is your relationship with the Flower Witch, Black Hunter?"

What kind of question is this?

Relationship... Chen Qi tried hard to recall.

The Flower Witch was cute and also very strong.

He quite liked the Flower Witch, but right now, the two of them hadn't reached a point where they would confide secrets in each other.

Friends...

No, after some events, their relationship was even better than normal friends.

If he had to say it... Chen Qi thought for a while, giving a simple answer:

"Partners."

The art of interview is to speak nonsense... Chen Qi was well aware of this truth.

Partners... Perle was slightly shocked.

Partnership implied a common goal between the two!

The Flower Witch's target seemed to be collecting Witch Occupation Cards.

Besides that, she also seemed to be delving into the secrets of the deep sea.

No, there might be even more explosive objectives!

Wait, the Flower Witch was looking for Witch Occupation Cards.

Could it be, Black Hunter also wanted to become a Witch?

No... Perle held back her scattered thoughts and crossed out the message 'Black Hunter suspected of wanting to obtain Witch Occupation Cards' on her paper, writing down:

#Shocking! The Flower Witch and the monstrous Black Hunter from the deep sea have reached an unspeakable cooperation and deal!#

Chen Qi looked at the earnest Perlu, quietly waiting for the next question.

Perlu then asked a question that all adventurers are very concerned with:

"Black Hunter, the adventurers of Witch Sea all say that you like to sow your seed in human females who've lost their way in the night. Is this true?"

What the hell are you talking about... A twitch emerged from the corner of Chen Qi's eyes beneath his cloak.

In Deep Sea Titan Land, he clearly hadn't done anything, yet inexplicably, he had a bunch of bad reputations! And those that damaged his good image at that!

One must know, the Flower Witch was aware of his identity. If these rumors were to reach the ears of the Flower Witch...

How would the Flower Witch view him, and how would the people of Witch Sea view him?

Chen Qi earnestly dispelled the rumors:

"I am not one of those foolish parasitic sea beasts, and I have no interest in sowing seeds in human females."

No interest in sowing seeds in human females...

Perlu nodded her head.

So that means, he's interested in non-humans, or interested in human males? Or he just sees humans as tools?

But as it appears now, he's just a special kind of human!

No no, this is consistent with the nature of a monster person!

As a monster, he must have his strengths in many areas.

This is important intelligence!

Perlu's hand trembled slightly as she wrote:

#Black Hunter states he has no interest in human females!#

This report could be featured in a special column in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom... Perlu took a deep breath and finally asked;

"That is, Mr. Black Hunter, why are you looking for Doctor Crow and the others, is it to hunt down the deep-sea creature they summoned?"

You're asking way too much detail.

Chen Qi thought.

Deep-sea creatures could be useful to him, this to him was actually a very good dungeon, an opportunity to become stronger quickly.

Of course, he absolutely couldn't tell this to Perlu.

He'd better fob her off with some excuse... Chen Qi lightly brushed his longsword with his index finger:

"For amusement."

Another perfect non-answer, Chen Qi thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Perlu's right hand trembled lightly.

Amusement!

You're interested in both the deep-sea creature and the three pirates?

Perlu started slightly, trying hard to suppress her shaking hand.

She continued writing:

"Black Hunter states that he is very interested in the three mysterious pirates on the high seas, as well as the deep-sea creature they are about to summon!"

No interest in human females, but great interest in three pirates and the deep-sea creature.
Continue your journey on empire

Perlu looked at the three contradictory headlines linked together and nodded with satisfaction.

This would definitely make a front-page headline!

Perlu gathered her manuscript and once more bowed:

"Thank you for accepting my interview, Mr. Black Hunter."

What on earth did she record... Chen Qi frowned, feeling a vague sense of foreboding.

Forget it, further entanglement would only lead to more trouble.

Perlu gathered her briefcase and manuscript:

"Thank you very much, Mr. Black Hunter. How should I deliver the information to you?"

She now had no courage to step into the land of white trees again.

"Just drop a message in a bottle in the sea area I designate," Chen Qi said, and he specified a special sea area.

He could have the deep-sea water elves collect intelligence.

"All right, I will do my best, Mr. Black Hunter. If there's anything you need my help with, please command me!"

Perlu thanked him shakily.

Chen Qi chuckled softly:

"Hmm, you can go now..."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The thoroughly soaked Perlu moved slowly to the side of the boat, jumped into the sea, swam with all her might, and kept calling for her giant white dove.

...

"Finally gone..."

Chen Qi watched as Perlu swam farther away.

Hopefully, the coverage by Dove Times about him would be somewhat normal.

Chen Qi remembered that the advancement of some special occupations depended on conceptual indicators like 'legendary status' and 'justice points'.

Moreover, a bad reputation could attract the attention of inland Hunter Groups.

Therefore, a good reputation was extremely important.

Chen Qi sheathed Meat Cutting Bone Breaking.

Regardless, he had cleared a significant menace from the nearby seas!

At that moment, a group of six deep-sea water elves wearing skull helmets approached.

The ones wearing skull helmets held elite skeletal spine swords:

"Waku! Waku! (Master, we've breached the engine room of the Ghost Ship!)"

"Well done! Little guys!"

Chen Qi placed the deep-sea water elves on his leg one by one, rewarding them with skilful massage techniques.

"Waku Waku!"

The deep-sea water elves showed little expressions of enjoyment.

After a session of massages, Chen Qi looked around.

The green fire from the Ghost Ship had gone out, meaning the green fire engine of the Ghost Ship had been extracted by the deep-sea water elves.

At his feet, the captain of the Ghost Ship also had no breath left.

It was time to loot!

Chen Qi rubbed his hands together excitedly.
