Azur Lane Under the Stars

Belfast took a tiny bit of blood to test it out, and the barrier started to glow the moment the blood touched it.

"It works!" Shinano exclaimed in surprise.

As the barrier gradually changed, Belfast and Shinano shielded Ren Shuo behind them and began to retreat.

However, this change came and went quickly. As the light gradually dimmed, a gap, like a door, appeared in the original barrier.

Belfast estimated that it could accommodate two people.

“I’ll go first, Master, you stay in the middle, and Miss Shinano, you can bring up the rear,” Belfast said after a moment’s thought.

Ren Shuo and Shinano had no objections, and the three of them stood close together, easily entering the barrier.

The moment the three entered, the gap closed immediately.

Belfast smeared the remaining blood from the syringe onto the barrier and found that it was still possible to open another opening. Only then did she feel relieved and enter the forest with Ren Shuo.

Ren Shuo pursed his lips, taking in everything around him, and felt very comfortable. It was as if his whole being had been elevated, and he even felt a sense of peace he had never felt before.

If Belfast and Shinano hadn't been there, she probably would have said, "Ah, the taste of mom."

Ren Shuo couldn't help but ask, "Have you guys felt anything? It's a strange feeling."

"No... Master, are you feeling unwell?" Belfast quickly asked.

"I don't have any bad feelings, on the contrary, I feel... very at ease," Ren Shuo said, touching his chest.

Shinano said, "Hmm, this should prove that we've found the right place, right? After all, this is the space where the Commander's mother is."

"That's true... but how long are we going to search such a huge area..."

Ren Shuo looked at the endless forest and felt somewhat troubled.

Belfast could only reassure him, "Don't worry, Master, we're here with you."

Shinano nodded as well.

Ren Shuo forced a smile, looked at the overgrown forest in front of him, and couldn't help but say, "If there were a path here, we would have a general idea of ​​where we are."

As soon as he finished speaking, the trees, bushes, and flowers in front of him seemed to come alive and automatically parted to make way for Ren Shuo and his companions.

Looking at this somewhat eerie scene, Ren Shuo felt a chill run down his spine. What was this feeling of déjà vu from a horror movie?

"What should we do?" Ren Shuo looked at Shinano.

Shinano thought for a moment and said, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it, Commander. Let's go."

There are many small animals in the forest. On the way, Ren Shuo saw several cute little squirrels on the branches of the trees, curiously watching them, these uninvited guests.

"It truly is a vibrant forest," Shinano remarked as he strolled beneath the dense trees.

"Master's mother must be someone who knows how to enjoy life very much," Belfast joked.

"We haven't met him yet, so who knows what kind of person he is?" Ren Shuo said.

For the next period of time, you would walk for a while, find that there was no road, and then another stretch of road would appear.

And so, we walked for about an hour.

Belfast watched the scenery change and said, "Master, have you noticed that from the outer edge to the inner circle, there seems to be less grass and more flowers? Also, the trees have changed from ordinary large trees to fruit trees..."

"Does the Commander's mother like flowers and fruit trees?" Shinano tilted her head and said.

“No, I think we’re very close to our destination,” Belfast said.

Ren Shuo touched his chest and said, "Indeed, I have that feeling..."

"Then let's quicken our pace a bit, we might be there soon."

As Ren Shuo spoke, he quickened his pace, with Belfast following closely behind.

Shinano, on the other hand, had a bitter face. It was really tough on this homebody fox who rarely exercised.

"Alright, alright, keep up. I'll give you a long vacation when we get back."

Ren Shuo's voice came through, and Shinano patted his cheeks, perking up: "Here you are."

…………

"Hmm, this is it."

After walking for a while, just like in the story of Peach Blossom Spring, the view suddenly opened up.

The dense thickets disappeared, replaced by a large open space and flowers blooming in profusion. The vibrant colors and riotous hues created a scene reminiscent of a fairy tale.

“This place…is really beautiful!” Shinano’s eyes sparkled, as if all the fatigue in his body had been swept away.

"So beautiful..." Even the composed Belfast couldn't help but let a hint of infatuation flicker in her eyes.

"A log cabin?"

Compared to the focus of Belfast and Shinano, Ren Shuo noticed a small house in the middle of the open space.

The wooden cabins in the woods look simple and unadorned, and from the outside, it is impossible to see the view inside through the windows.

Reaching the front of the house, Ren Shuo took a deep breath and, with a mix of trepidation and anticipation, knocked on the door.

Is anyone home?

The next moment, the door opened inward automatically, startling Ren Shuo and the others.

Although I hesitated about whether to go in, I was already here...

Ren Shuo gritted his teeth and went inside.

The difference between the inside and outside of the house is like night and day.

If from the outside it looks like Tao Yuanming living a secluded life, picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, then the inside is decorated in a modern style.

Moreover, although the cabin doesn't look very big, the interior is surprisingly spacious and spacious.

How did they manage to fit this huge villa into a tiny wooden cabin that looks like it only has a living room?

"Is anyone there?" Ren Shuo looked around but didn't see anyone.

Shinano frowned and exchanged a glance with Belfast, who also looked as if facing a formidable enemy.

Once inside, they discovered that while the ship equipment was usable, special skills such as Shinano's Dream Butterfly and Belfast's Time Stop were completely ineffective.

This strange situation made them want to pull their commander away.

But the door closed automatically the next second.

Belfast was startled and rushed to the door to try and open it, but found that it was impossible to open. As for Shinano, several large tails were wrapped around Ren Shuo's waist, ready to guard him at any time.

Belfast gritted his teeth and summoned his ship equipment, intending to blow her away.

But the next second, he found himself unable to move.

Oh no!

Belfast thought to herself.

But the sound that followed was like a spring breeze, not only soothing Belfast's negative emotions, but also making Shinano and Ren Shuo relax involuntarily.

"If you were to blow up the door, it would be quite troublesome to repair... Although it can be restored to its original state before it was damaged, I still feel somewhat averse to living a life that relies on divine power."

A voice, ethereal yet tinged with a hint of helplessness, rang out.

It felt like Shinano was speaking.

Ren Shuo instinctively searched the house, but found no one at all.

The voice seemed to resonate directly within my mind.

Ren Shuo asked loudly, "May I ask who you are?"

The voice seemed to pause for a moment, then sighed and said, "Come upstairs, the innermost room is my study, I'll be here."

"My child, I will answer all these questions for you."

"And you little girl over there, don't go destroying the house, okay? I have no ill intentions towards my child."

"It's been so many years since I last saw you all. I'm so happy to see you all as soon as I wake up. Come on up, let me see you."

"Master, shall we go up?"

Belfast, having regained her mobility, slowly walked to Ren Shuo's side and asked.

She's come to terms with it now; if such a being wanted to harm them, they simply couldn't resist, so it's better to be obedient.

Ren Shuo nodded seriously: "Of course we should go up."

Shinano also retracted the tail that was wrapped around Ren Shuo's waist: "Understood, Commander."

Chapter 662 Mentioning Mom

At the end of the corridor was a white door.

Although it looks similar to a modern door in an ordinary home, Belfast keenly sensed the rustic and profound feeling of time.

Ren Shuo walked to the door and raised his hand to knock.

But before the fingertip could even touch the door, it opened automatically.

At this moment, the three men's attention was drawn to the only woman in the room.

She sat languidly in a chair, the sunlight streaming through the window illuminating her curvaceous figure, making her appear utterly ethereal.

The maternal aura emanating from within calmed the three who had been somewhat uneasy.

Ren Shuo carefully examined the woman in front of him who was looking at him with loving and joyful eyes.

Her long, sky-blue hair cascaded down to the floor. Although she hadn't styled it, it didn't look messy; instead, it gave off a relaxed vibe.

Her exquisite and flawless face seemed to possess a bewitching beauty, as if a single glance could drive one mad. Yet, Ren Shuo felt an unexpected sense of closeness from the inside out.

A cross-shaped pupil appeared in her pale purple eyes, making her look incredibly alluring.

What's particularly striking are the pair of elf-like ears and the pair of sheep-like horns shaped like the number "3" at the back of the head.

Of course, Ren Shuo wouldn't be so naive as to think that these were goat horns.

Her curvaceous figure was encased in a blue loungewear sweater, paired with a white pleated skirt that revealed only her slender ankles and adorable toes.

As clean and lovely as an ice cream cone, it stepped directly onto the floor without a care.

"I've finally seen you, my child..."

Although it was the first time he had heard it, the voice that gave Ren Shuo an overwhelming sense of familiarity came from her small, crimson lips.

"Come on, come closer and let me see."

She waved to Ren Shuo, her eyes full of affection.

Although she was a young woman, the three people present gave off a feeling of "Ah, this is the radiance of motherhood. Compared to her, Frederick the Great is nothing."

Ren Shuo slowly walked over, and the woman who had been sitting there stood up. She was very tall, almost the same height as Ren Shuo, but still a head shorter.

"Are you...my mother? Tiamat?"

Ren Shuo couldn't help but ask.

Tiamat chuckled and nodded, standing in front of Ren Shuo. She gestured with her hands to show her height to Ren Shuo, then remarked, "You've grown taller... The last time I saw you, you were just a tiny baby, only this big..."

Tiamat compared the sizes and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Now, in the blink of an eye, you're already this tall..."

"Um... I have a lot of things I want to ask you..." Ren Shuo pursed his lips and said.

Even now, Ren Shuo still has a sense of unreality.

Tiamat pulled Ren Shuo to sit down beside her, her smile fading slightly, replaced by a barely perceptible hint of unease: "My child, I haven't fulfilled my responsibility as a mother to be there for you... You won't blame me, will you?"

Ren Shuo was taken aback, then subconsciously looked at Belfast and Shinano. Encouraged by the two women's gazes, Ren Shuo shook his head.

"No, according to the Dream Weavers, you gave me life and gave me such a happy life, so how could I blame you? Besides, they said you had no choice at the time, didn't you?"

"..."

Tiamat didn't say anything, but it was clear she was relieved.

"You two should find a place to sit down, we're all family..."

Tiamat keenly sensed the connection between the two women and her child, and said with a smile.
