Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!-Chapter 578 - 359 The Dying Flower Witch

Chapter 578: Chapter 359 The Dying Flower Witch

A Saint-Level enforcer… Chen Qi slightly raised his head, examining the Tentacle Merchant before him with great interest.

Rather than improving himself, he considered it a better choice to recruit a truly deep sea monster as his enforcer, a calamity of the ocean.

Chen Qi asked:

“Little Tentacle, how much are you worth?”

“???”

The Tentacle Merchant raised his head.

...

Aside from being ‘fragrant’, what was this useless adventurer trying to do? The small Tentacle Merchant confidently stated:

“My price is not the same as you lowly unblessed humans, at least worth ten million ancient currency!”

Chen Qi raised an eyebrow:

“Ten million ancient currency, you’re more expensive than the deposit of the Sea God?”

“…”

The petite Tentacle Merchant was stunned for a moment, unable to discern whether the shameless human in front of her was taunting her or the great Sea God!

Chen Qi clarified:

“What I mean is, how much would it cost to hire you for a battle?”

The Tentacle Merchant looked up, puzzled:

“Fight whom?”

Chen Qi considered and replied:

“Some small pirates.”

Although the monsters of the Merchant Coffin rarely took the offensive, they became a sharp blade of the Sea Coffin when it involved money.

The Tentacle Merchant pointed towards the far place where the Black Whale Group was, asking:

“Those small fries?”

Chen Qi nodded:

“Yes.”

The Tentacle Merchant closed her eyes, deep in thought.

As a merchant, she wouldn’t do any unprofitable business, and as a monster, she wouldn’t be a human’s servant.

The Tentacle Merchant reassessed Chen Qi’s strength; with his current power level, it was inevitable that unexpected injuries could occur during the battle.

At that moment, if Chen Qi were dying, lying incapacitated on the cold ice wall.

Then, she could stop all the medical personnel, coming to Chen Qi’s side like a benevolent Angel.

She would hold his hand with the gentlest of words, then tell Chen Qi:

“Ten million ancient currency, for one life!”

Her own life was priceless, whatever amount she would charge was reasonable… The Tentacle Merchant, with her mouth full of sharp teeth, couldn’t help but smile.

Even under the decree of the Sea God and bound by Shell’s Principle, she could still make Chen Qi incur a massive debt through ‘life’ and become her servant.

Moreover, when necessary, she could choose to strike herself to finalize the transaction.

After all, she was the original inhabitant of this forbidden crack, and the adventurer before her was just a foolish outsider!

Thinking this, the Tentacle Merchant’s mouth curved into a crescent, and she couldn’t help but laugh:

“Hahahaha!”

The Tentacle Merchant scoffed:

“Sure… human, for only ten thousand ancient currency, I’m willing to help you fight and under the witness of the Sea God, I’d show those feeble humans what true strength is!”

Chen Qi slightly nodded.

Indeed, just like in the forums, though dangerous and highly aggressive, they could still cooperate!

Chen Qi’s thought was simple.

To directly utilize the power of the Tentacle Merchant to confront the Blue Beast and the Black Whale Group.

However, there lies a hidden danger, which required him to sign an Extraordinary Contract with the Tentacle Merchant to ensure ‘safety.’

The Tentacle Merchant took out a blood-colored Sheepskin Contract Paper:

“Come on! Human, sign the Employment Contract!”

Chen Qi took the contract paper, glanced at it.

It was an object to enforce terms, requiring both parties to fulfill contractual obligations, and violation would result in a destructive retaliation.

The contents handed by the Tentacle Merchant included helping him fight the Black Whale Group and that neither the employer nor the employed could attack each other.

Additionally, the employed could sense Chen Qi’s location through the contract’s power.

Full of traps… Chen Qi frowned.

Though it seemed reasonable, essentially, the contract was full of traps.

Firstly, it only promised that neither party would attack each other, but it didn’t stipulate that they should protect each other.

Besides that, the employed could also lock onto his location through the contract.

The Tentacle Merchant’s lips slightly curved up; she knew the lantern on Chen Qi’s waist could counter her!

However, the lantern couldn’t defeat her, it could only keep Chen Qi away from her.

This contract was enough to give the Tentacle Merchant the power to track his location.

It thus signified that once the contract was signed, the Tentacle Merchant would always know Chen Qi’s whereabouts.

Even if eventually Chen Qi would defeat the Black Whale Pirate Group, the Tentacle Merchant could still torment him slowly.

Big pitfall… Chen Qi looked at the innocently faced Tentacle Merchant.

The Tentacle Merchant crossed her arms, like a devout believer, smiling gently:

“Under normal circumstances, an Extraordinary Contract also has a fee, but human, I’d offer you a discount.”

Chen Qi hesitated for a moment, then signed the contract.

Admittedly, he was taking a gamble.

However, the problems with the Tentacle Merchant were not unsolvable.

After all, the Tentacle Merchant might not be able to compete with the Blue Beast.

Moreover, the resurrected Ice Witch could easily handle the current monster.

Chen Qi used a knife to cut his finger, signing the Blood Covenant:

“Included food and lodging, and if you get injured, free medical care provided.”

“I cannot possibly be injured by those weaklings.”

The Tentacle Merchant took the contract, her tentacle-like hair dancing with the cold sea breeze.

Afterward, her bare feet lightly stepped over the ground, then suddenly, she turned back revealing a sinister gaze.
