Chapter 1049: Watching Beidou Sourly

"The Jade Chamber? That floating palace belonging to Lady Ningguang, one of the Liyue Qixing?"

Hearing the name, a flicker of interest flashed in Venti's eyes.

Although he rarely did anything proper,

as a professional bard, he had a certain understanding of interesting matters from all over.

He had naturally heard of the neighboring Liyue's Jade Chamber as well.

But all he knew was that it floated in the air.

What it actually looked like, he had no idea.

This was also the first time he was seeing it.

He hadn't expected it to be this huge!!

If it fell, wouldn't the entire Liyue Harbor be gone?

"Mm, I saw it when Lady Ningguang used it to smash Osial before, but it wasn't this terrifying back then?"

Young Master crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes also showing some confusion.

If it had this kind of power back then,

they probably wouldn't have needed that little girl called Klee to step in.

With a size like this, even the demon god Osial would have to kneel on the ground and call him daddy.

Way too scary!

After all, once something reaches a certain massive size, it really leaves one unable to summon even a shred of resistance.

Young Master was in exactly such a situation right now.

If it really came crashing down, he wouldn't even have anywhere to run!

Even if you gave him a one-hour head start, it would be useless!

"Judging by ordinary rationality, under normal circumstances it indeed wouldn't happen, but if there's Boss Han's reward involved, then it's hard to say!"

Seeing Zhongli withdrew his gaze, propping his chin on his hand as he pondered aloud.

"If that's the case, then it really is possible!"

Venti smiled and nodded.

For example, he knew of something that could achieve a similar effect.

That would be the Magnifier from Doraemon.

He wondered whether that Lady Ningguang had obtained this reward?

"No need to worry about all that. Given Lady Ningguang's temperament, nothing should go wrong. Let's go listen to storytelling instead!"

Seeing Zhongli said with a smile.

"Aye-aye, sounds good!"

Venti nodded in full agreement.

"Is this because they have real confidence, or are they just completely heartless?"

Watching the two departing figures, the corner of Young Master's mouth twitched.

Such a huge Jade Chamber is right up in the sky—aren't you two afraid it'll fall down?

This is an even greater threat than the demon god Osial!

Haven't you seen the people around already scared stiff on the spot?

And yet you two actually still have the mood to go listen to storytelling?

Wouldn't the storyteller have already run off?

"Forget it, even if the Jade Chamber falls, there are taller people to hold it up! Why should I bother worrying about that?"

Young Master sighed.

Shaking his head, he hurriedly jogged to catch up.

On the other side,

in the sea area near Liyue Harbor,

at this moment, an aircraft carrier was slowly approaching the harbor.

Behind it followed quite a few wooden ships.

It was precisely the Southern Cross fleet returning from Inazuma.

"Once we've finished loading supplies at Liyue, you lot go have a good rest. We'll set off again tonight!"

Standing at the bow of the carrier, Beidou had one hand on her hip and the other gesturing as she grinned at her crew.

In the past, because the ships were small and slow,

they had to shorten the cargo-loading time as much as possible.

As for having fun, they didn't even need to think about it.

Opportunities were very rare.

But now that they had this behemoth of an aircraft carrier, a single trip's cargo was worth more than a dozen trips in the past!

This way, they could also take it a bit easier.

As for expanding elsewhere and becoming the Pirate King,

Beidou wasn't in any rush for now.

She planned to earn a bit more money, or get a decent reward, before considering it.

"Thanks, Big Sis!"

Hearing this news, the crew immediately got excited.

After a voyage, the most enjoyable thing was undoubtedly going out to have fun.

Whether it was having a little drink or strolling through the streets,

everything felt wonderfully comfortable.

It could also ease the weariness of being out at sea.

Just as they were chatting in twos and threes about what to do for fun when they got back to Liyue Harbor,

at that moment a crewman pointed toward Liyue Harbor, his face full of shock, and said.

"Look over there! There's a huge island in the sky above Liyue!"

An island in the sky above Liyue?

Hearing this, the nearby crewmen all froze for a moment, then hurriedly looked over.

They saw, at this moment, a massive island emerging floating in the sky above Liyue.

Moreover, the island was rapidly spreading outward, as if about to cover the entire Liyue Harbor!

"My heavens, where did this island come from?"

"No idea, this is the first time I've ever seen it!"

"I thought our aircraft carrier was already big enough — you could even call it a little island on the sea!

I never expected today I'd actually see an island this huge! And it's floating in the sky!"

"Right! Just one day out at sea and something like this happens! I wonder what's going on over in Liyue?"

While the crewmen were discussing in shock, Watching Beidou also noticed this floating island at this moment.

After furrowing her brow and studying it for a moment, she felt it seemed somewhat familiar.

Wait!

Isn't this Lady Ningguang's Jade Chamber?

Apart from the size not quite matching, the shape is practically identical!
