Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 680 Yun Xian (2700 words)
After asking Chunyue to find him a bag to hold the Mind Cube, Lin Lan followed Yamashiro into the main hall of the shrine.

He was not surprised that the Demon King had awakened, but according to what the Cat Lady Miko, who was opening the entrance to the Godly Wood Barrier for him, seemed to have no mind after the Demon King woke up.

Yes, the Demon King woke up last night, but he was just in a quiet daze and did not reveal any information to them.

Based on what Unzen told Yamashiro and the others, it is likely that the Demon King has closed his heart and is unwilling to take the initiative to talk to anyone.

Lin Lan had heard of this situation at Blue Star.

The devil's state is likely to be like a vegetative state. Unless there is stimulation from the outside world, he will remain autistic.

After all, it has been corroded by X-contaminants for so many years. Who knows whether the Demon King's brain will be affected by X-contaminants.

He knew very well that although the Demon King looked like a teenage girl, he was already nearly a thousand years old.

In any case, it is always a good thing that the Demon King wakes up, at least it means that his mental Rubik's Cube was not in vain.

While he was thinking, Yamashiro had also opened the passage to the inner part of the sacred tree barrier, and a white vortex appeared in front of the cat-eared witch in aviation.

"Huh~ It's done, Your Highness, the entrance has been opened by the mountain city."

Hearing the words of Shancheng who turned to look at him, Lin Lan smiled and nodded:

"Okay, you and Haruyue should rest early. I will ask Yun Xian to open the way back."

"Yawn~ Since His Highness said so, I will take Chunyue back to the dormitory first."

When Yamashiro said this, he yawned unconsciously.

It can be seen that this black-haired cat girl miko is indeed a little tired after a whole day of ritual work yesterday, even though she is a ship girl.

Lin Lan held a bag of Mental Rubik's Cube in his hand, patted Shancheng's head, said goodbye to him, and stepped into the entrance of the white vortex.

With a familiar feeling of dizziness, Lin Lan soon stood around the shrine on the mountainside of Xuezingdao, outside the collapsed wall that was destroyed by Bailong yesterday.

At this time, the sacred tree in the shrine no longer looked like it had been chewed out yesterday, but had basically recovered to its original state.

It's just that the leaves have not grown on the re-grown branches of the imperial tree, but it can still be easily distinguished which parts are newly grown.

But to be able to restore such a large sacred tree to this state in one day, Lin Lan could also see that the ceremony held by Yunxian yesterday when he summoned the Chongsakura Shrine Maidens was very effective.

A cool mountain breeze hit him behind him, making him look back.

At this time, on this mountain, you can just see the golden sunrise in the distance, half peeking out from the sea level.

The golden sunlight of the morning fell on the sparkling sea, allowing him to vaguely see several mass-produced destroyers flying the flag of the Chongsakura camp, slowly sailing on the sea as if on patrol.

"The scenery on this mountain is really nice. It's a pity. In order to prevent the fragments of the invisible breath from resurrecting, we must have a barrier."

Lin Lan smiled and shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and walked towards the shrine illuminated by golden light.

After passing through the ruins of the collapsed shrine, he immediately saw the tall figure standing under the sacred tree, holding a sheathed Odachi and wearing a white and purple furisode coat.

Unzen.

At this time, this breathtakingly beautiful heavy cruiser girl with white hair and purple highlights seemed to be bathing in the morning sunshine, closing her eyes and relaxing.

Unzen's delicate appearance and flawless body, like fine porcelain, made this heavy cruiser girl so beautiful that she looked like a fairy who did not belong to the mortal world.

And under the golden luster, Yun Xian's body is even more illusory and ethereal.

Even Lin Lan didn't dare to take the initiative to say hello to Yunxian, because he was afraid that the beauty in front of him would disappear from the world as soon as he opened his mouth.

He didn't know why this thought arose in his heart, but this feeling made him feel a little more uneasy.

He vaguely remembered that in the game plot, before Unzen obtained the ship suit, he was the heart of Hai Ruo and had the same origin as the invisible breath.

Neither of them can completely kill the other.

This made Unzen have plans to die together with Invisible Breath X Penumbra, and he had even made a decision.

But fortunately, the X Penumbra Will of Invisible Breath was killed by Nagato, Musashi, Shimanto and Ibuki after obtaining the concept ship outfit of Unzen.

The fragments of the Invisible Breath were also resealed and suppressed.

But when Lin Lan thought about this, he suddenly recalled something.

That was why he remembered that Yun Xian chose to become a ship girl at the critical moment of that battle.

But he couldn't remember the reason for a while. It was obviously mentioned in the game event plot.

Lin Lan couldn't help but cursed himself in his heart. If he had known this, why would he have skipped the game plot in the first place.

While he was momentarily stunned, a gentle mountain breeze blew from behind him again.This mountain breeze gently ruffled the ends of Unzen's white hair with bangs covering her right eye.

And this also made the blue crystal clear butterfly staying on the tip of Yun Xian's hair seem to have sensed something, flapped its wings silently, and flew towards him.

Lin Lan raised his hand and watched as this light blue butterfly landed on his fingertips.

And when he looked at Yun Xian again, he happened to catch the gentle gaze full of love and tolerance directed at him from the deep purple eyes.

"Ah, Commander, you came so early and Unzen didn't even notice your arrival. It's Unzen's negligence."

The corner of the cherry-loving great sage's lips curled up into a slight smile, and he smiled at Lin Lan's soft voice.

"Um...Isn't this just looking at you?"

Faced with Yun Xian's initiative to talk to him, Lin Lan smiled awkwardly and walked to Yun Xian from the ruins of the shrine wall with the Mind Cube in hand.

And when he heard what he said, Lin Lan also noticed a faint blush appearing on Yunxian's fair cheeks, which seemed to be born out of shyness.

When he got closer, he saw that behind Yun Xian and under the wide trunk of the sacred tree, there was a girl with long white hair and wearing a white-red cherry blossom robe.

The girl had two antlers like antlers on her head and looked towards the direction he came from with empty red eyes.

The pair of white bone wings behind her and the long gray-white sharp tail like a lizard told Lin Lan that this young girl was the demon king who seemed so crazy that he attacked them without reason yesterday.

Sure enough, as Yamashiro said, this Demon King girl seemed to have lost her soul and had no reaction to anything in the outside world.

"Unzen, I really worked hard for you yesterday."

After Lin Lan walked to Yunxian, he looked at the great sage who was looking at him with a smile, and said in a somewhat guilty tone:

"If I hadn't brought the Demon King here, I wouldn't have let you guys stay busy in this barrier until late at night on the first day of the new year."

"Ah, Commander, you are worrying too much."

Yun Xian was a little surprised when he heard what he said, but soon realized why he said that.

The great sage Chongying looked at him and said with a chuckle:

"Before yesterday, none of us expected that the fragments of Xi would be affected by X and revive again."

"If it hadn't been for the demon king brought back by the commander, such hidden dangers would definitely bring disaster to us in the future."

"So, Commander, it's not too late for us to thank you."

Yunxian just said a few words and calmed down the guilt in Lin Lan's heart.

Lin Lan looked at the graceful ship girl standing in front of him and seemed to have made some kind of decision.

He placed the Mind Cube in his hand on the ground, stepped forward, and hugged Yun Xian tightly.

"Referring to Sir Commander?"

His sudden hug made Yun Xian, who was held in his arms, make a sound with a bit of unexpected emotion.

At the same time, the blue butterfly in his hand also flapped its wings and landed on the hair of Hui Yunxian's right eye.

But faced with Yun Xian's surprise, Lin Lan did not explain why he did this suddenly.

He was very sure that the feeling he felt in Yun Xian just now, so ethereal that it seemed that it would disappear at any time, was not a false illusion.

Only by hugging Yun Xian tightly like this could he make this ethereal and illusory feeling dissipate from Yun Xian's body.

Feeling the strength of his tight hug, Yunxian seemed to realize something. He raised his hand and gently hugged Lin Lan's back.

"It's really helpless to ask for something like this..."

"Commander, Yun Xian is by your side. Even if Yun Xian loves to travel around the world, he will ask for leave in advance."

"Unzen... won't go anywhere without your permission."

Yun Xian comforted Lin Lan softly in his ear.

Although her voice was full of tenderness, she also showed her commander her strong will.

After hearing Yunxian's assurance, Lin Lan felt that the uneasiness he had just felt relieved a lot.

He will definitely make every ship girl live a happy life, and since he is the commander of Unzen, he will never let Unzen disappear from the world.
