Outrageous! This was absolutely outrageous!
The Artifact Spirit felt deeply humiliated. It was an utter disgrace.
'Who exactly calls the shots in these War Relics?'
Any intruder would be toyed with until they died a miserable death at its hands.
'That snake... Is it provoking me? Showing contempt? Treating me like I'm nothing?'
"In one hour, we'll settle the score."
Just as the Artifact Spirit was about to fly into a rage, Tu Xiao'an's slightly breathless voice came from within the shroud of black fog.
The otherworldly man froze, then a wicked smile spread across his face. 'Settle the score with me? What a joke.'
'How could it possibly settle the score? What could a mere snake use against me, the Artifact Spirit of these War Relics?'
It was always the one who had others dancing in the palm of its hand.
'Fine. I'll wait. This is my domain. I have all the time in the world.'
'What's an hour, anyway? I should be a little more generous to my playthings—to the soon-to-be-dead.'
