The Death Star led the way, sailing at the very front of the Southern Cross fleet on the silent sea at night.

However, although the Death Star was brightly lit, it was completely silent.

Most of the sailors were leaning on the ship's railing, smoking their pipes, looking as if the past had been stirred up.

The younger sailors were even moved to tears.

"I wanted to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but alas..."

"Li Lao Er! Why the hell are you being so pretentious? Tell me honestly, where did you copy this sentence from?"

"Ahem, I once heard a gentleman from the Rebirth Hall say this under the osmanthus tree. I thought it was very impressive at the time, so I wrote it down."

"You're really something. I knew you couldn't possibly have anything good coming out of your dog mouth. If I didn't know you well, I would have been fooled by you."

"However, Miss Fang Qiu's book is really... damn well... the ending is really awful."

"Yes, but it's really well written. The ending made even a grown man like me want to cry."

At this moment, Beidou was sitting in a chair, her strong, straight legs crossed, exuding the demeanor of a big sister.

"call."

She let out a long breath and closed the book in her hands.

"Fang Qiu's writing is really good. No wonder Gan Yu, Ke Qing, and Xiang Ling all speak highly of her."

As she spoke, she picked up the bottle and took a big gulp. After swallowing the glass of wine, she let out a long breath and said, "It's just that this subject matter feels a bit ominous."

"Big sister, you actually believe in this?"

"I'm sitting to one side," said Kaedehara Manyo in a low voice.

"Whether you believe it or not, have you finished reading it? What do you think?"

Beidou smiled and asked.

"Very good. Both the writing style and the plot are top-notch."

Kaedehara Manyo closed the book and said, "It's a very moving book. If you have sad memories, this book will probably easily stir up your emotions."

"Xin Yan, what about you? What do you think?"

Beidou looked at Xin Yan, who was sitting on the steps with red eyes, and said.

"Like music, books carry the thoughts of the author and the performer. Ms. Fang Qiu's book is not only about praising love, but also about praising freedom and resistance."

Xin Yan thought for a moment and then said.

"Now that you mention it, there is indeed such a deeper meaning. As expected of Miss Fang Qiu, her literary talent is outstanding."

Kaedehara Manyo nodded thoughtfully.

"There should be more than that. After we get back to Liyue, we'll call her out for a good drink and then ask her properly."

Beidou smiled and said.

"Ah."

Kaedehara Manyo nodded.

"Big Sister, I want to participate too."

Xin Yan quickly replied.

"no problem."

Beidou took a sip of wine and said, "By the way, I heard that Fang Qiu's last book was about music. Xin Yan, you should be very interested in it."

"music?"

Xin Yan's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to take out the second book that Bei Dou had given her, a voice rang out.

"iceberg!"

As soon as the sound rang out, curses from several sailors followed.

"Slow down your reading! Are you even reading carefully? Did you slack off halfway through? You're reading so slowly, the Eternal has sunk, Jack is dead, and you're still stuck on the iceberg!"

"Speaking of which, who suggested naming our Southern Cross fleet's new ship the Eternal..."

"Ahem, who knew such a powerful ship would sink?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

After a while.

Just as they were discussing this intensely, Kaedehara Manyo frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

"That's not quite right."

As soon as Kaede Manba finished speaking, a head popped out from the lookout tower.

"What are you doing? Didn't I just shout? Why didn't you move? There's an iceberg ahead! Fold up the sails and turn the rudder! Hurry! Otherwise we'll crash!"

The man on the lookout tower blushed and shouted loudly.

At this point, the sailors on the ship realized what was happening, their expressions changed, and they quickly went about their respective tasks.

"Alright, time to get to work."

Beidou stood up from his chair, showing no sign of panic, and said.

Suddenly, the once quiet Southern Cross fleet became noisy.

"Quickly notify the other ships!"

"Quick! Lower the sails!"

"Turn left, full turn!"

The first mate on the ship was anxiously giving instructions.

As a seasoned sailor and the first mate of the Southern Cross, he naturally knew the consequences of hitting an iceberg at sea.

It is highly likely that the ship will be destroyed and everyone on board will perish.

Moreover, they were the first in the fleet. If they hit the iceberg, the following ships would definitely not have time to stop and would collide one after another.

Just as he was giving instructions, Beidou took a few steps to the bow of the ship, squinted his eyes, and looked at the sea ahead. Not far ahead, an iceberg stood on the sea.

Meanwhile, the Death Star, leading the Southern Cross fleet, was rapidly heading towards the iceberg.

They'll collide very soon.

"Boss, it seems we're running out of time."

Kaede Manba stood beside Hokuto, his God Eye shining with a brilliant blue light.

He had spent a considerable amount of time on the Beidou ship, so he naturally understood the principle of only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

Generally speaking, the volume of an iceberg below the water surface is often several times that of the surface.

With his strength, it would be difficult to blow the iceberg apart.

Therefore, he could only try to blow the Death Star off its original course. As for the fleet behind the Death Star, he would figure that out later.

Just as Kaedehara Manyo was about to make a move, Hokuto waved his hand and said, "No need."

After saying that, she looked at the first mate and said, "On my command, right the helm!"

"what?"

Kaedehara Manyo was taken aback.

He didn't understand what Beidou was planning to do.

If we straighten the rudder, wouldn't we be crashing straight into an iceberg?

"Straighten the rudder!"

Upon hearing Beidou's command, the first mate relayed it without hesitation.

The helmsman quickly turned the rudder around.

So the Death Star, leading the Southern Cross fleet, charged straight toward the iceberg.

"Manyo, didn't you ask me before how I destroyed the Sea Mountain?"

Just as Kaedehara Manyo was somewhat puzzled, Hokuto took a sip of wine, drew his greatsword, stood at the bow of the ship, and spoke in a cold voice.

Kaedehara Manyo's pupils suddenly contracted.

At that moment, he sensed that the aura of the Big Dipper had changed.

It has become extremely dangerous.

It was as if the one standing there was not a person, but a terrifying, unparalleled beast.

At this moment, he remembered the other name for the Big Dipper.

The Uncrowned Dragon King!

"Watch closely, this is the power to annihilate the Sea Mountain!"

Beidou's lips curled into a chilling smirk, and he suddenly stomped his foot.

"Crack!"

As the sound of the deck being crushed echoed, Beidou instantly transformed into a blur and leaped towards the massive iceberg.

"Slash the lightning!"

A low shout.

The Eye of God suddenly burst forth with a dazzling purple light.

With immense force, Beidou's giant sword crashed down on the iceberg.

This strike! A new moon breaking through the clouds, as vast as mountains and as boundless as the sea!

Amidst a sky full of lightning, a bolt of purple lightning descended from mid-air and struck the giant sword that Beidou was about to cleave the iceberg.

Suddenly, a purple light appeared on the sea.

"boom!"

"boom!"
