Chapter 148 Sea Lantern (12)

The waves gently hit the hull, making a "swooshing" sound, hitting the hull again and again, causing the entire ship to shake constantly. However, this degree of shaking did not bring any uneasiness to people, but instead made people feel a different kind of comfort and tranquility.

The children seemed to like this feeling very much. They lay in the cabin, in the arms of their loved ones, just like sleeping in a cradle, swaying gently with the left and right swings of the boat. They gradually became quieter from the noisy ones, staring out the window. From time to time, not far away, on some unknown boat, you can see sky lanterns slowly rising, like bright stars, passing through the clouds and rising to the endless night sky.

In this quiet atmosphere, sleepiness gradually sets in, and the children's eyelids begin to become heavy. They close their eyes and enjoy this rare peace. Accompanied by the sound of the waves and the flickering of the sky lanterns, they will usher in a night full of fantasy and dreams.

At this moment, only adults were still awake in the cabin. They carefully lowered their voices, but still chatted and laughed from time to time, covering topics ranging from family trivia to national affairs. However, as time went by, their attention was gradually attracted by the ever-changing beauty outside the porthole.

In the vast night, countless flickering lights formed a magnificent picture. The stars gathered together to form the vast sea and sky Milky Way.

Slowly entering the center of vision was a giant platform formed by several of the largest merchant ships from Liyue Harbor. This platform stood on the sea like a castle on the sea, with bright lights and crowds of people, and it was very lively; the noise was endless and seemed to penetrate one's eardrums.

Those flashing colorful lights are actually made up of various large and peculiar colored lights. They are colorful, gorgeous, and magnificent, dazzling! Looking at these gorgeous neon lights, even Mr. Zhongli, who is well-informed and has a broad vision, couldn't help but give a heartfelt admiration.

"The people in charge of this matter are the gentlemen of the Seven Stars." In the silence, Bo Yang's calm and clear voice suddenly came out. "This distance should be about the same. Let's take a look in the direction we came from."

Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, and nodded in unison. Then they slowly stood up as instructed, walked up the stairs in the cabin, and came to the second floor of the houseboat.

After climbing up to the second floor, you will see a small and exquisite pavilion. The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness and salty taste. Standing in the pavilion and looking into the distance, the view is extremely broad, making you feel relaxed and happy.

At this moment, the boats were already quite far from the shore. From a distance, the nearby Liyue Harbor seemed to have shrunk, becoming much smaller than before. But there was no doubt that because of the huge object emitting dazzling light as bright as day not far behind, most of the residents in the harbor seemed to have a telepathic connection, and they all took various pleasure boats of different sizes to the sea, intoxicated by the magnificent and brilliant sight of the lanterns in front of them.

At this moment, on the sea not far from him, there are countless ships with lights on. These lights flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, illuminating the entire sea area. From a distance, it can be inferred that most of the residents of Liyue Port should be gathered here, almost all of them. Despite this, the lights of Liyue Port have not been completely extinguished, and they are still standing brightly, and occasionally there will be brilliant fireworks cutting through the night sky. Perhaps, for many people, this is the first time in their lives that they have looked back and gazed at the place where they live day and night from such a unique perspective. They and the endless curling stars behind them complement each other, together outlining such a beautiful picture.

“See? That place is our home.” Boyang pointed to the city in the distance and said slowly and firmly, “It’s called Liyue. It’s where our ancestors have lived for generations. It’s also the beautiful homeland that countless people are willing to sacrifice everything for, even their lives, to defend… It’s right there, silently supporting us from behind. It’s the place we care deeply about no matter where we go…”

"After a whole year of hard work and unremitting struggle, those hardworking, brave and diligent people! On this beautiful occasion, please slow down your hurried pace, open the door, step out of the house, and enjoy it to your heart's content... Gaze at the land on which you depend for survival, and look at this warm harbor that has been defended by countless unknown heroes with their precious lives. Look, take a good look at her! No matter how many storms she has experienced, she still stands tall, full of vitality, and remains the same. Perhaps, this is the beautiful expectation that the gentlemen of the Seven Stars are holding deep in their hearts." Boyang sighed slightly and continued to tell the story.

"Look, everyone has now gathered on the vast ocean."
