Chapter 123: The Artifacts’ Decision
“I’m assuming you guys have made a decision?”
Upon hearing Li Lang’s questions, the three lifted their heads and made direct eye contact.
Each of them had many things going through their minds, but a consensus had been formed before they arrived. They had to swallow down any lingering regrets.
“That’s right,” Blue declared as she stepped forward. “We have run out of time. Our realm will collapse in a month’s time, so we’ve made a decision.”
“Hold on one moment. Ruby would like to join the conversation as well. Please place your hand here again.”
As Li Lang held out his hat, Green and Orange wore bitter expressions. To them, Ruby was a supreme existence they couldn’t defy. If they did, they would need the resolve to forfeit their lives.
“You three! About time, you’ve decided.”
“Esteemed Ruby, thank you for your patience,” Blue respectfully replied with a curtsy before urging her companions to speak as well.
“Umm, sorry for the delay. I hope you can forgive us?”
Green shook his head at Orange’s pathetic display. Determined to have a better showing, he puffed out his chest.
“I appreciate you for being so accommodating. We have thought long and hard about your proposal and have come to a conclusion. We have decided to accept and submit to your master on one condition.”
“Conditions? You want to talk about conditions with us?” Ruby’s displeasure grew as she spoke.
