The sailors readily accepted the order and began their work.

The ship slowly started moving.

Once the speed and sails were adjusted, and the bows were aligned with the map and compass, the fleet set off in a grand procession.

In the past, once the fleet was on track, the crew would have already started getting excited.

They might gamble a little, or have a hand-to-hand fight, or get together and chat about where they've been having fun during their holiday.

But this time, they didn't.

With the wind at their backs, apart from the crew members who were observing the sea conditions, everyone took out a book and began to read it.

This is a batch of books that Beidou bought directly from Liyue Publishing.

Although they are sailors, they have received basic education in Liyue, so reading novels shouldn't be a problem for them.

"As expected of Miss Fang Qiu, her naming skills are truly excellent. 'Eternal' should represent never sinking and never surrendering. How about we rename our ship after that?"

"Didn't the eldest sister say before that she would add a new ship after returning from Inazuma? Then we can name it Eternity."

"A ship that can carry a thousand people? That must be huge. No wonder she's Miss Fang Qiu; she's beautiful and writes so well."

"Speaking of which, what do you think of me?"

"What do you mean, how?"

"Of course it's looks! To be honest, I'm pretty handsome, right? Miss Fang Qiu is really too beautiful. I think I'll confess to her when I get back from Inazuma."

"You're dreaming, you toad trying to eat swan meat. You're not even as good-looking as me. If anyone's going to go, it'll be me."

"I object!"

"We are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Who are you, an ugly monster, to object?"

"Damn it, I challenge you to a one-on-one fight!"

"Stop talking! I will not accept Miss Fang Qiu being with any man, including myself! Anyone who dares to approach Miss Fang Qiu or has improper thoughts about her, I will castrate him!"

"Are you really that cruel? Speaking of which, you all saw the scene that day when Miss Fang Qiu fell asleep leaning on the shoulder of Master Walnut of the Hall of Rebirth, right?"

"How could we not have seen it? In order not to wake Miss Fang Qiu, the boss didn't even let us speak loudly."

"That scene was so sweet."

"So, if you're going to say that Miss Xiangling later specially prepared grilled fish for Miss Fangqiu, it must have been very sweet, right?"

Immediately, everyone started discussing this topic.

"Big Sister, I never expected that you would actually buy Miss Fang Qiu's book for everyone in the Southern Cross fleet."

After glancing at the murmuring sailors, Kaedehara Manyo turned his gaze to Hokuto.

"I really like that girl, and one of my principles is to do what I say."

Beidou smiled and said, "Moreover, it wasn't just Gan Yu. After listening to Ningguang's rambling about the trade between Inazuma and Liyue at the Moonsea Pavilion, I saw Keqing reading Fang Qiu's book, 'Your Lie in April,' during my leisure time. Moreover, Keqing seemed to have a pretty good opinion of Fang Qiu, not only his book but also Fang Qiu himself."

"Even Keqing, one of the Seven Stars, praised Fang Qiu's book highly. It seems that Miss Fang Qiu's book is indeed very well written."

Kaedehara Manyo seemed to be deep in thought when he spoke.

"Manyo, don't you really like literature? You can read some of these."

Beidou said.

"I flipped through a page or two. Although Miss Fang Qiu's writing is excellent, I prefer Liyue's poetry."

Wan Ye said, "I prefer stories with a poetic and picturesque feel that are reminiscent of Liyue."

"Then let's mention this to Fang Qiu when we get back from Inazuma."

Beidou smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that our fleet is carrying sample books from Liyue Publishing House, which we need to deliver to Yaedo in Inazuma."

After chatting for a while...

Beidou waved his hand, picked up Fang Qiu's "Eternal Ship," opened a page, and said, "I'll also take a look at the book written by that little girl. You go and do your work."

After a moment of silence, Beidou read half a page and found that Kaedehara Manyo was still standing in the same spot.

"Is there anything else?"

"It's nothing, it's just that reading isn't really suitable for you, boss."

Kaedehara Manyo shook his head and said.

……

A cool sea breeze swept across the bustling harbor, through the prosperous and lively streets, carrying the warmth of Liyue Harbor, and blew onto the rooftop terrace of the Moonsea Pavilion, perched high on the Jade Capital Terrace.

Her platinum blonde hair and golden sleeves fluttered gently in the wind. The woman, dressed in an expensive cheongsam with gold, black, and white stripes, watched the Southern Cross fleet gradually disappear into the distance with a deep gaze.

There was a brief silence.

"Things have come to an end. In a few days, we should be able to finalize the basic deal with Inazuma."

She turned around and looked at the blue-clad girl with black and red horns on her head behind her, and said with a faint smile, "Gan Yu, you've had a hard time these past two days."

"Miss Ningguang, you're too kind. This is simply my duty as the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars."

Gan Yu shook her head and said softly.

"So, do you have time to play a game of chess with me?"

Ningguang smiled faintly and asked.

"Miss Ningguang, I have already made an appointment with Miss Keqing to go to Wanwen Bookstore to buy books."

Gan Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

That's a real shame.

Despite saying this, Ningguang's expression remained unchanged, still bearing a faint smile, as she said, "However, it's quite rare for the two of you to agree to go book shopping together."

"Go buy a book written by someone who is a friend of mine."

Looking out onto the terrace, a gentle breeze was blowing, and Gan Yu couldn't help but smile.

"I see."

Ningguang said.

"If there's nothing else, I won't bother Miss Ningguang any longer."

"Go and rest."

After Gan Yu left, Ning Guang withdrew her gaze, slowly walked to the recliner, and gently sat down.

Her delicate body sat on the recliner, her fair and slender legs gently lifted and then placed on the other thigh, looking incredibly alluring and charming.

Slightly lazy.

She picked up the slightly cool tea that was placed next to the recliner and took a small sip.

It has a slightly bitter taste.

"Reading? That's a good way to pass the time. But being able to be friends with both Ke Qing and Gan Yu at the same time, he must be no ordinary person. That's interesting."

Chapter 51 I am the Tavern Owner

In front of Wanwen Collection House, people sat at the tea table, quietly enjoying their books.

Ji Fang looked completely exhausted, slumped into a chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

The busy afternoon has finally come to an end.

She glanced at the copy of "Eternal" beside her, a strange look in her eyes.

Are Fang Qiu's books really that good?

Not long ago, Yuheng Keqing from the Liyue Constellation and Gan Yu, the head secretary of the Liyue Constellation, actually went to her bookstore together and bought Fang Qiu's book.

Apart from Fang Qiu's book, those two didn't even glance at any of the other people's books.

After the two left, the bookstore saw another surge in customers.

Some of these people were lovers of other books and did not buy Qiu's book. They were readers who sat quietly reading at the tea table. Others were young people who saw Gan Yu and Ke Qing carrying books out of the bookstore on the street and rushed to buy them.

It kept her busy for quite a while.

So she was very confused.

What exactly is Fang Qiu's novel about?

Those two important figures not only bought Fang Qiu's "Your Lie in April," but this time they actually rushed to buy Fang Qiu's new book, "Eternal," on the same day it was released.

Moreover, everyone bought three books.

This is enough to prove their approval and love for Fang Qiu's book.

As for readers, although many of those who bought Fang Qiu's books were simply following the trend, the sales of Fang Qiu's "Eternal Ship" on the release date this time far exceeded the sales of Fang Qiu's "Your Lie in April" on the release date.

Clearly, these people became interested in Fang Qiu's new book after reading "Your Lie in April".

Furthermore, although there are quite a few people who criticize Fang Qiu.

But they all criticized Fang Qiu for killing off the characters; no one criticized Fang Qiu for writing poorly.

Countless people have been moved to tears by reading Fang Qiu's books at her place. According to the owner of a nearby tavern, many readers have even come to the tavern to drink and drown their sorrows after the books evoked painful memories.

These phenomena are enough to prove Fang Qiu's strength.

However, she herself is not very interested in reading.

The reason for opening the shop was simply because her husband liked to collect old books, and later it inexplicably grew into a large and successful business.

Therefore, even though Fang Qiu's previous book was praised to the skies by many novel lovers and had an excellent reputation, many storytelling magazines also gave Fang Qiu's book high marks.

She didn't look at it either.

However, today Miss Keqing and Miss Ganyu made an appointment to buy books together, coupled with this terrifying sales volume.

Even she couldn't help but feel a little curious about Fang Qiu's book.

What exactly did that delicate beauty, who looked like a celestial being, write that made people both love and hate her, and unable to put it down?

So she picked up the copy of "Eternity" and opened the beautifully bound cover and title page.
