Time passed, and dusk gradually approached.
The orange glow of the setting sun spilled over The Alcor, where Xinyan was currently playing rock music with passion.
The ship was bustling with excitement.
Hu Tao seized the opportunity to promote the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's services to those around her.
"Buy one get one free, buy two get three free, the more you buy, the more you get!"
"Don't miss out as you pass by!"
Fang Qiu sat by the ship's gunwale, quietly enjoying the sea breeze.
The gentle sea breeze lifted the strands of her hair.
"By the way, Fang Qiu, what genre of books do you write?"
As Xinyan finished a song, Beidou took a sip of wine and asked.
"About love, I suppose."
Fang Qiu replied.
"In that case, your romantic experience must be quite rich, eh?"
Beidou raised an eyebrow.
As her words fell, everyone present cast their gazes over. Even Hu Tao, who had been busy selling to the sailors, stopped her sales pitch and turned her eyes toward Fang Qiu, a ripple of emotion surfacing in her gaze.
"Sister Beidou, you jest. I simply imagine it based on things I've heard in the past."
Fang Qiu smiled faintly and said.
It was awkward to mention.
In her previous life, she was busy writing novels and had never been in a relationship.
Actually, it wasn't just about being busy.
It was just that in her past life, she was constantly plagued by survival issues. A book with a million words would only earn about ten thousand in draft fees; the word 'miserable' summed it up.
"Imagined out of thin air, huh? Then, are you interested in imagining a story about a sea voyage?"
Beidou laughed heartily and asked.
"A sea voyage?"
Fang Qiu pondered slightly.
Speaking of sea voyages, one couldn't avoid that legendary work from her previous life.
It just so happened to correspond with Beidou's identity.
And it would be perfect as a long-running serialized novel.
However, before Fang Qiu could answer, Xiangling leaned in.
"Eh? I remember just now when we were on the boat, Fang Qiu, you seemed to say that your new book is a story set on a ship, right?"
"Eh?"
Fang Qiu was stunned.
"Oh? I didn't expect such a coincidence."
Beidou laughed heartily.
Before Fang Qiu could speak, a subordinate ran over.
"Captain, there's a ship coming towards us from Liyue Harbor."
"Hmm?"
Beidou frowned and put down her wine jar.
The next moment, a young woman wearing blue feathered raiment, with a beautiful face and a well-proportioned figure, appeared at the bow of the other ship.
Most striking were the pair of black-red horns amidst her fluffy blue hair.
Demure and elegant.
It was Ganyu.
"Captain Beidou, Lady Ningguang is waiting for you."
Ganyu spoke softly.
Her tone was calm.
"What's so urgent that she actually sent you, Ganyu, to come personally to hurry people up?"
Although Beidou's tone was disdainful, she was still friendly towards Ganyu.
"I'm not sure either. Captain Beidou will know naturally once you arrive."
Ganyu smiled faintly and said.
"Fine, since she sent you personally, Ganyu, I'll give her some face."
Beidou waved her hand, turned to look at Kaedehara Kazuha, and said, "Boys, get to work."
As her voice fell, the subordinates began to work one after another. Not long after, The Alcor, towing two small boats, slowly sailed towards Liyue Harbor.
After the ship started moving, Ganyu exchanged a few pleasantries with Beidou, then cast her gaze toward Fang Qiu.
"Miss Fang Qiu, we meet again. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Ganyu waved to Fang Qiu and said.
"Long time no see, Miss Ganyu."
Fang Qiu smiled faintly.
She had a very favorable impression of this secretary of the Liyue Qixing.
If nothing else, were it not for her going to Wanwen Bookhouse to buy her book, her book sales wouldn't have been that high.
"Oh? You two know each other too?"
Beidou asked in surprise.
"Yes, we know each other. I really like Miss Fang Qiu's books."
Ganyu nodded and said.
"Even the Qixing secretary Ganyu likes your books, Fang Qiu? Now I'm actually quite curious about what's written inside."
Beidou said with some surprise.
"If Captain Beidou is interested, I can give you a copy."
Ganyu said with a smile.
"No need, no need. I've already made plans to equip everyone on my ship with a copy, so they can have a bit more cultural refinement."
Beidou waved her hand and said.
The speed of The Alcor was fast; after a few pleasantries, they approached the harbor.
Under the dusk, scattered lights had already lit up in Liyue Harbor, with cooking smoke curling upwards.
The sailors on the ship were very agile, and soon the parking and anchoring were completed.
Everyone bade farewell to each other.
Ganyu and Beidou went all the way to Yuehai Pavilion, while Kaedehara Kazuha and Xinyan busied themselves with unloading cargo.
After returning Uncle Tian's boat, seeing that it was dinnertime, Xiangling hurriedly said goodbye to Hu Tao and Fang Qiu, saying she could still make it back in time to help in the kitchen.
"Xiangling really likes cooking, doesn't she?"
Walking on the streets of Liyue Harbor where the lights were gradually rising, Fang Qiu sighed with emotion.
"Xiangling is determined to become the number one chef in Teyvat, after all."
Hu Tao smiled and said.
"Then what about you, Hu Tao?"
Fang Qiu asked back.
"Me? I want to carry forward the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to great heights."
Hu Tao said without hesitation.
"I knew it would be that."
"Fang Qiu, you should be aiming to become a literary master, right?"
"Mn, that's right."
Fang Qiu nodded.
Leaving aside that her Vision's power was linked to novels, she also needed to write books to live well in Liyue.
"By the way, so you and Miss Ganyu knew each other? No wonder she would specifically come to buy your book."
Hu Tao said.
"We met once."
Fang Qiu smiled faintly and told Hu Tao the whole process of how she and Ganyu met.
However, the part where she accidentally buried herself in Ganyu's chest after falling was naturally omitted by Fang Qiu.
"So that's how it is."
After listening, Hu Tao nodded in understanding.
After wandering around the streets with Hu Tao for a lap, Fang Qiu bade farewell to Hu Tao and went all the way back to her room.
Upon returning to the room, the young girl took off her shoes and shed her outer garment, revealing a large expanse of snowy white, alluring skin.
After washing up, she slumped straight onto the bed.
So tired.
I'll go to the bathhouse to bathe tomorrow.
Fang Qiu looked at the ceiling wearily, sighing in her heart.
Sure enough, that saying from her previous life was correct.
Don't stay cooped up at home playing every day; when you have time, you should go out and exercise, drink tea, read books, go fishing, and then you will discover that staying cooped up at home is still the most comfortable.
It wasn't that going out to play with Hu Tao and the others wasn't happy; on the contrary, it was very happy. She even saw that tiger-striped fish Xiangling caught on Beidou's ship.
But, these activities were really a bit too much for her sickly body to handle...
She was so tired that even though she had just woken up not long ago, she was starting to feel sleepy again...
Come to think of it, Sister Bai should have finished reading the new book by now, right?
I wonder if there are any places that need modification.
Although she wrote web novels in her previous life, she still understood the operations of physical books.
She was often asked by editors to make changes.
Liyue's editorial department should be the same...
Thinking and thinking, Fang Qiu lay on the bed just like that and fell into a deep sleep.
