Chapter 715: Chapter 708: Resolving Conflicts

"It’s over, finally over." Seeing Naptios lying desolately on the ground, Cheng Ziang released his rifle, collapsing to his knees on the ground. Behind him, Hu Daoke and Murong, among others, held one another tightly, jubilantly dancing and cheering.

Before long, the battlefield was filled with overlapping waves of cheer, even shots being fired in the air as a sign of celebration. Signtifying the end of Naptios, everyone crawled out of their trenches, jumping for joy, including the knights who were practically on their last breath.

After a brief pause, Cheng Ziang rose from the ground, waved at his teammates, and said, "Let’s go, guys."

Having said that, he together with Hu Daoke, and others like Murong slowly approached Tangmo. At this time, Tangmo was holding an unconscious Feng, tears streaming down his face. Cheng Ziang watched her coldly, then instructed Hu Daoke, "Old Hu, carry Feng back for some rest and treatment."

"Ah, okay!" Hu Daoke nodded, then approached Tangmo and gently picked up Feng from his arms. Tangmo glanced at him but didn’t turn down his help.

"Also, pick up that Magic Wand on the ground!" Cheng Ziang instructed.

"Ah, okay!" Although unsure of Cheng Ziang’s intentions, after Hu Daoke lifted Feng in a bridal style, he also picked up the magical staff that belonged to Tangmo and then excitedly walk back.

"Everyone, take a step back." Once Hu Daoke was by his side, Cheng Ziang instructed the crowd.

"What’s going on?" Murong noticed that Cheng Ziang was apparently intending to keep some distance between them and Tangmo.

Cheng Ziang gave him a glance, and without explaining, he suddenly drew a pistol from Murong’s waist and aimed it at Tangmo.

"It’s you again!" roared Cheng Ziang in a cold tone.

"What, what’s going on?" Murong and the others were caught off guard by this sudden turn of internal strife.

"What the hell are you doing, Old Cheng? Didn’t the boss say no pointing guns at our own people?" Hu Daoke turned around and exclaimed fearfully.

"Hehehe," Facing Cheng Ziang’s threat, Tangmo let out a few scoffing chuckles and slowly stood up, jestingly looking at him and said, "What, you feel I’ve exhausted my use, and planning to execute me?"

"I knew something was off right from the start, it turns out I was right." Cheng Ziang coldly expressed.

"Well, you’re certainly sensitive," Tangmo leisurely straightened her clothes and asked nonchalantly, "So, what’s your plan now, kill me? Don’t forget, if I die, Momo wouldn’t survive either."

Her words resonated with what was troubling Cheng Ziang. He let out a deep sigh, and the gun in his hand slowly lowered.

"Rest assured, I won’t harm you all any further. I’ve figured it out, if Momo and I are one, then I should consider things from her perspective rather than being as selfish as before," Tangmo said, her tone indifferent.

"What are you guys talking about?" Murong looked around with a confused face and asked.

"You are, Mo... Momo..." Hearing Tangmo’s words, Hu Daoke’s eyes bulged out and he was momentarily lost for words.

"What, can you call Momo’s sister but not able to call me as your sister? Don’t I qualify to be your sister?" Tangmo glared at him and asked.

"No, no, it’s not like that. I mean, how should I put it..." Hu Daoke stammered, involuntarily looking at Cheng Ziang and asked with a sob-like tone, "Old Cheng, what do I do now?"

"How can I confirm the truth to your words?" Cheng Ziang asked, unmoved.

"This time, it was Momo who willingly let me appear, not because I tricked her into it. Now, she can exert incredible control over this body. As long as she wishes, she can take it back at any moment, so there is no need for me to deceive you." Tangmo explained calmly.

"What did she let you do?" Cheng Ziang asked coldly.

"To help her sort out these issues. Do you think she could have come up with these solutions?" Tangmo shrugged, her expression signifying that it was just a usual thing.

"Now that the problem is solved, you should step down, shouldn’t you?" Cheng Ziang suggested.

"This is how you guys repay me after I have made such a significant contribution," Tangmo said with a smirk, "At the very least, let me see Luo’er and confirm he’s all right."

Upon hearing Tangmo’s words, Cheng fell into a long silence. After a while, he reluctantly put down his firearm, handed it to Murong, and coldly said, "Fine, you can stay for now, but I’ll keep a close eye on you. If you try to harm anyone again, I’ll take you out. Don’t blame me for being harsh then."

"Thanks for the warning!" Tangmo grinned, revealing a smug smile.

"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and take Feng for treatment!" noticing that Hu Daoke was still standing there, Cheng Ziang said impatiently.

"Oh, oh!" Hu Daoke hurriedly nodded, casting a few more lingering glances at Tangmo before he ran off.

"The girl is all right, just put her in an isolation ward for some rest." Tangmo added from behind.

Upon hearing her words, Cheng Ziang noticed that Tangmo had unexpectedly removed her gas mask, and he reprimanded her with a furrowed brow, "Who told you to take off your mask?"

"Now, I can stay in the isolation ward with Luo’er." Tangmo said, a smug smile on her face.

Upon hearing Tangmo’s words, Cheng Ziang was momentarily speechless and finally, unable to help saying, "You’re really not afraid to die for Luo’er."

"Um, what was that, Ziang? Could you explain it to me? I don’t understand the conversation between you two." Murong said hesitantly.

"Oh," Cheng Ziang paused, sighed, and then introduced, "I forgot to introduce her, this is Tangmo’s other personality, Momo, as in the Momo in bubbles."

"Hello, Momo!" Hearing Cheng Ziang’s introduction, Murong quickly greeted her.

"I won’t bother with the formalities, after all, you and I have known each other for a long time." Tangmo said with a beaming smile.

"Um, ok, alright." For some reason, the Tangmo in front of him was breathtakingly seductive, completely different from the naive Tangmo he knew before, giving him a feeling of heart fluttering.

Apparently noticing Murong’s gaze, Tangmo once again curved her mouth into a smile, "Even though I’m not the previous Momo, I still like Luo’er as always. So, don’t get any ideas."

"No, that’s not true..." Caught off guard, Murong felt a sudden flush and a strange sense of envy towards Luo’er, how come so many girls were attracted to him?

"Enough! Sowing discord among the team members is also a form of harm, be careful." Cheng Ziang said impatiently.

Having seen Momo’s crazed state, he was anything but interested in the Tangmo in front of him. Rather, he was afraid, always worried that she might harm the advance team members, causing irreparable damage.

"Can you isolate me now?" Tangmo asked, rolling her eyes at him.

"Let’s go." Faced with Tangmo’s demand, Cheng Ziang couldn’t find a suitable rejection, so he reluctantly agreed.

"When are you going to leave?" On the way back to the airboat, Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but question again.

"Whenever Momo wants to return, I’ll leave. The control of the body is in her hands, don’t make it seem like I don’t want to leave." Tangmo glared at him and said irritably.

"Don’t blame me for being suspicious of you. We all remember very clearly the trouble you caused before." Cheng Ziang retorted stubbornly.

"Hmph!" Knowing she was in the wrong Tangmo snorted and then turned her head away, ignoring him completely.
