Chapter 124: Don't Fight, We Are All Our Own!
At this moment, Pang Fei stood frozen, his mind in turmoil, unable to process what had just happened.
According to Xu Yan's original plan, once they confirmed that the Voodoo Dragon's rebirth had significantly weakened its strength, they would report the information to his cousin, Song Lingxuan. She would then persuade the top military officials to assemble the main force and launch a beheading operation to resolve the crisis.
Now, they had confirmed the Voodoo Dragon's condition.
The body size was much smaller—clear proof it had undergone nirvana rebirth. Although still powerful, it met the conditions for the beheading plan.
The reactions of the Voodoo wizards further confirmed that this young dragon was indeed the Voodoo Dragon—their god.
But here was the problem…
The Voodoo Dragon had actually recognized Xu Yan as its mother!
It had become one of their own.
Which meant…
The entire Voodoo clan was now on their side.
The war had lost all meaning.
What the hell just happened!?
How was he supposed to explain this?
Would his cousin even believe him!?
Pang Fei originally planned to call his cousin, but after hesitating, he decided to go straight for a video call.

Meanwhile, in Baitan City…
Due to the second wave of beasts and the Voodoo army, the third line of defense had been relocated inside the city.
Song Lingxuan was organizing troop deployments to defend the city center, where underground air raid shelters housed thousands of civilians.
Originally, retreating into the city was considered the worst-case scenario.
But now, the defenders felt relieved.
With the Voodoo army halting its advance, the main force retreating, the second wave of beasts stalling, and the first wave showing signs of collapse, it seemed they might not even need to fight.
Even Song Lingxuan let out a breath of relief.
But she still couldn't help but regret Pang Fei's reckless decision.
If only he hadn't been so eager for success, if only he had stayed in Defense Zone 25 instead of rushing to the front lines…
He might still be alive.
Just as she was lost in thought—
Her phone rang.
Seeing Pang Fei's name on the screen, her eyes widened in shock.
He was alive!?
If he was calling her, that meant he wasn't captured or, even better, had escaped!
There was hope!
She answered the call—
But before she could say anything, the camera flipped around—
And the first thing she saw…
Was an enormous emerald-green dragon.
A Voodoo Dragon.
A living, breathing, majestic dragon stretching its body, spreading its massive wings, blocking out the sun.
Song Lingxuan's mind went blank.
Her thoughts crashed like a system error.
What the actual f*ck!?
---
Pang Fei quickly began explaining.
"Cousin! Okay, so… how do I even put this? Right, so… the Voodoo Dragon and the entire Voodoo clan are on our side now."
"What the hell are you talking about!?"
"I can't explain it clearly. You should just see for yourself."
He flipped the camera again.
Hundreds of prisoners of war stood completely unshackled.
The Voodoo wizards, who had previously tortured them, now greeted them with smiles.
Seeing this, Song Lingxuan's mind short-circuited again.
What the hell was going on!?
Why were the Voodoo wizards treating the prisoners so well?
Why weren't they attacking the city?
Had they… already surrendered!?
But the war hadn't even properly begun yet!?
Something didn't make sense.
She narrowed her eyes and spoke seriously.
"Pang Fei. What the hell is going on?"
"The Voodoo Dragon was reborn. And the first thing it saw was Xu Yan. And… it thought he was its mother."
"...Excuse me!?"
"I know how ridiculous it sounds! But I swear to you, that's what happened!"
Before Pang Fei could continue, Song Lingxuan saw something else.
On the screen—
Xu Yan casually jumped onto the dragon's back, patted its massive neck, and called out:
"Long Bao! Let's go!"
"We're going home!"
The Voodoo Dragon roared happily and took off.
Song Lingxuan froze.
Her mouth hung open.
"Xu Yan… is riding the Voodoo Dragon!?"
"Everything I just told you… was true."
Song Lingxuan stared at the screen.
Her head buzzed.
Her brain completely crashed.
Pang Fei continued, "Cousin, you just saw it yourself."
"The Voodoo clan has become our allies."
"All the prisoners of war have been released."
"The entire Voodoo tribe—**from the lowest wizard to the Great Shamans, even the Voodoo Dragon—**now listens to Xu Yan."
Song Lingxuan was speechless.
"...How is this possible!?"
"I already told you. When the Voodoo Dragon was reborn, it saw Xu Yan first. It thinks he's its mother."
"Xu Yan is now the 'Divine Envoy' of the Voodoo clan."
"Even the Voodoo clan leader takes orders from him."
"That's the situation. It sounds insane, but it's the truth."
Pang Fei had explained everything.
Song Lingxuan had seen the proof with her own eyes.
But she still couldn't process it.
Her entire world had just been turned upside down.
Pang Fei sighed.
"Big cousin… Xu Yan is bringing the wizards to Baitan City for military court trial."
"We don't have time to chat anymore. Please report this to the top brass."
"See you in Baitan City."
The call ended.
And Song Lingxuan just stood there.
In absolute silence.
With a completely blank expression.
This was too much.
Her entire belief system had just collapsed.
The enemy was no longer the enemy.
The Voodoo Dragon was no longer the enemy.
And Xu Yan…
Had somehow become their leader.
What. The. F*ck.
