After eating and drinking her fill in the Great Silver Kingdom, Qiuqiu returned home with the Emperor and Xu Ziming.
Once inside the carriage, Chuchu was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep.
The Flame God Sword, with the phoenix silently guarding it from the side.
Chirp slept soundly until dawn.
Outside, the people of the Great Silver Kingdom had already arrived long ago.
The Emperor was outside exchanging pleasantries with them.
The people of the Great Silver Kingdom were making a ruckus.
The King of the Great Silver Kingdom, still arrogant, said, "Where's the sword? Where's the Flame God Sword you spoke of? Are you trying to fool us?"
Prime Minister: "Yes, we've come all this way, surely we can't not even see a glimpse of a sword?"
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom remained calm and said, "Don't worry. You will definitely see the Flame God Sword! Everyone, rest for a moment. You will see the Flame God Sword soon."
The people of the Great Silver Kingdom were still relentless.
The King of the Great Silver Kingdom angrily said, "Don't pretend you don't have it! I told you you couldn't possibly have the Flame God Sword!"
Chirp heard the noise outside and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
[Hmph! This is outrageous! I'll teach you a lesson later!]
Chirp looked around for the Flame God Sword, calling out, "Flame God Sword! Flame God Sword!"
The Flame God Sword flew to Chiu Chiu's front in a flash.
Flame God Sword: "What are your orders, Master?"
Chiu Chiu pointed outside and said, "The people of the Great Silver Kingdom are all waiting to see you. Go on, and give them a good beating!"
Flame God Sword: "Yes, Master!"
After saying that, the Flame God Sword flew out.
The people of the Great Silver Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom are arguing incessantly outside.
At that moment, a golden light flashed.
The Flame God Sword, engulfed in flames, flew over and slammed into the ground in front of the King of the Great Silver Kingdom with a clang.
It was just a hair's breadth away from splitting him in two.
At this moment, the Flame God Sword was still hissing and emitting flames.
A small flame landed on the clothes of the King of the Great Silver Kingdom.
The king of the Great Silver Kingdom was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.
His ministers frantically tried to pat out the flames for him.
The Prime Minister pointed at the people of the Dragon Kingdom and said, "You, how dare you! You almost injured our Emperor!"
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom: "Weren't you all eager to see the Flame God Sword? Well, here it is, flying over to see you! What, you dare to be so insolent before an ancient divine artifact!"
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom commands respect without anger.
The Prime Minister and other ministers of the Great Silver Kingdom were so frightened that they knelt before the Flame God Sword.
"Flame God Sword, atone for our sins! We all spoke unintentionally!"
The people of the Great Silver Kingdom have always held the gods in high esteem.
Now, the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom says that they are being presumptuous in front of the Flame God Sword, which is disrespectful to the divine sword and to the gods.
This will be punished by heaven!
No one can bear this responsibility.
Chiu Chiu yawned and came out with her little hands tucked in.
"Serves you right for being so arrogant! Now you won't be so arrogant when you see the Flame God Sword!"
The rest of the people in the Great Silver Kingdom knelt respectfully before the Flame God Sword.
Only their king looked at the Flame God Sword with a skeptical eye and said, "This sword does look quite good. But who knows if it is truly the Flame God Sword?"
The prime minister and the others stood up.
The Prime Minister said, "Your Majesty is right! Although this sword is sacred, how can we prove that it is the Flame God Sword?"
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom was in a dilemma: Yes, although he knew it was the Flame God Sword, how could he prove it to the people of the Great Silver Kingdom?
Chirp came over.
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom saw Qiuqiu as if she were his savior.
He quickly picked up Qiuqiu, hoping to hear her thoughts and find useful information.
[Proving that the Flame God Sword is the Flame God Sword is easy!]
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom strained his ears to listen, afraid of missing any information.
[Doesn't their Great Silver Kingdom have a national treasure—the scabbard of the Flame God Sword? The scabbard recognizes its master; if the Flame God Sword can match the scabbard, then they'll have nothing to say.]
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom clapped his hands: "Excellent!"
The Prime Minister of the Great Silver Kingdom looked at the Emperor and said, "Has Your Majesty thought of a way to prove that this sword is the Flame God Sword?"
The Emperor: "Exactly!"
The King of the Great Silver Kingdom said disdainfully, "What method? Tell me!"
Your Majesty: "I wonder if the national treasure sword sheath of the Great Silver Kingdom is a divine object?"
King: "Of course!"
The Emperor asked, "Is that the scabbard the scabbard of the Flame God Sword?"
King: "Exactly!"
The Emperor: "Is that true?"
The king grew a little anxious and said, "Of course!"
The Emperor said, "If the scabbard matches the sword, then the sword is undoubtedly genuine."
The King: "That's natural."
[Your Majesty is truly clever! Now, let's see what they have to say!]
The Emperor said, "Why don't you bring your sword sheaths so we can examine them and find out if they're real or fake?"
The minister of the Great Silver Kingdom rushed to their king and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! This scabbard recognizes its master. If it really is the Flame God Sword, we will never get the scabbard back!"
[This king of the Great Silver Kingdom is arrogant and conceited; I bet he'll be unwilling to accept defeat and will want to take a gamble.]
The King said, "But what if their sword isn't real? If it isn't, we can use this opportunity to negotiate with them and get them to pay tribute year after year. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Prime Minister: "But Your Majesty..."
The king raised his hand, interrupting the prime minister.
The King said, "Stop talking! My mind is made up, let's do it this way!"
Prime Minister: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom looked at the people of the Great Silver Kingdom and said, "How about it? Want to try your sword sheaths out?"
The King said, "Everything should have a wager. How about we make a bet?"
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom said, "Very well! How do you intend to gamble?"
The king said, "If this is not the Flame God Sword, I demand that you pay tribute of ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand pieces of jewels and glass every year. What do you say?"
We're not going to lose anyway! Let them place the bets however they want.
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom nodded and said, "Very well! I agree! But what if this is truly the Flame God Sword?"
The king said, "At worst, we can just throw away our sword sheaths!"
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom smiled slightly and said, "That won't do. If it's true, the scabbard recognizes its master, and you can't take it back anyway. We need to add another condition."
The king asked, "What are the conditions?"
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom took a few steps, pondered for a moment, and said, "In addition to the war between the two countries, the Great Silver Kingdom will never invade the Dragon Kingdom!"
The king hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Alright!"
Our Emperor is truly benevolent! In terms of military strength, they are currently inferior to us. If war breaks out, we may not necessarily lose.
[Yet His Majesty is still willing to sign a ceasefire agreement with them, simply because he cannot bear to see the people of both countries suffer!]
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom was overjoyed to hear Qiuqiu praising him in his heart.
I never expected a child to understand me so well. I am very relieved.
