Chapter 65 Tokens
The morning sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Luo Qing's warm bed. She opened her eyes, feeling the vitality and hope of a new day.
Luo Qing quickly made the bed and left the room.
My teammates are already awake and are doing their morning exercise.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers in the early morning. Luo Qing took a deep breath and felt exceptionally refreshed.
She saw the bronze giant who came to deliver breakfast and smiled as she told him, "Please tell the king that the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill has been refined."
The bronze giant nodded, a look of joy seemingly appearing on his bronze face. He turned and left, his steps steady and powerful.
Before long, the king himself arrived in haste with several attendants. His face was beaming with joy and anticipation, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.
The king knelt down in front of Luo Qing and asked excitedly, "You really refined the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill?" His voice trembled as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Luo Qing smiled and nodded. She gently opened the small bottle in her hand, poured out the pill, and the crystal-clear pill shimmered with an alluring luster in the sunlight.
The king's eyes widened instantly. He reached out, carefully picked up the pill, and gently smelled it. The pill seemed to have a life of its own, trembling slightly in his hand.
"This...this really is the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill!" The king's voice trembled, his eyes filled with ecstasy and shock.
Seeing the king's excited expression, Luo Qing also felt a sense of satisfaction and joy.
The king carefully accepted the pill, his hands trembling slightly as if he were holding the hope of the entire world. He looked deeply at Luo Qing, his eyes filled with gratitude and respect.
“Thank you, Luo Qing.” The king’s voice was deep and firm. “If this medicine can save my queen, I will certainly offer the Flowing Light Harp with both hands.”
After saying this, the king turned and left. Although his steps remained steady, his speed was noticeably faster.
His figure gradually faded into the distance under the morning sunlight, finally disappearing into the depths of the sea of flowers.
Luo Qing looked in the direction the king had left, feeling a sense of relief and ease.
She knew that the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill would bring new hope to the King's Queen and a brighter future to this land.
Soon, Tie Yue arrived. He was wearing bronze armor today, with a long sword at his waist.
“Miss Luo Qing, His Majesty the King has sent me to show you around our Bronze Kingdom.” Tie Yue’s voice was loud and clear, as if it could penetrate the morning mist.
Luo Qing nodded and accepted the invitation with a smile. She turned to look at her teammates behind her, whose faces also showed anticipation.
Tie Yue squatted down, placing his huge palm flat on the ground, waiting for them.
Luo Qing lightly leaped onto his palm, and then her teammates followed suit.
Tie Yue stood up, his hands as steady as a rock, carrying them toward the outside of the palace.
They played until noon, when Tieyue led them back to the hall where they had met the king the day before.
Sunlight slanted across the golden roof of the main hall, casting a dazzling glow on the solemn building.
In front of the main hall, several bronze giants stood silently, their shadows stretched long in the sunlight, making them appear even taller and more imposing.
Upon entering the main hall, Luo Qing's gaze was first drawn to the woman on the throne.
She wore a magnificent brocade robe with a trailing hem, resembling a blooming flower.
Sunlight streamed through the window lattice, illuminating her bronze headdress, making it shimmer with a dazzling light. Her face was gentle and dignified, her eyes revealing the aura of an empress.
Luo Qing guessed that this was the queen the king had mentioned.
She sat quietly beside the king, her hands folded on her knees, like a lotus flower quietly blooming.
The king smiled with delight when he saw Luo Qing and the others enter. He stood up, stepped down from his throne, and went to greet Luo Qing.
The king walked up to Luo Qing and bowed deeply, his voice filled with gratitude and respect: "Miss Luo Qing, and your teammates, thank you for saving my queen."
“You are the benefactors of our Bronze Kingdom. On behalf of the entire nation, I express my sincerest gratitude to you.”
As he spoke, the king turned and walked toward a bronze stand to the side, on which sat a radiant ancient zither.
That is the legendary Flowing Light Zither. Its body seems to be forged from flowing stars, and each string shimmers with a faint light, as if it contains endless power and wisdom.
The king carefully picked up the Flowing Light Zither, walked to Luo Qing, and presented it with both hands.
The moment Luo Qing received the Flowing Light Zither, a miracle occurred.
The enormous luminous zither shrank instantly in her hands, becoming the size that matched her figure. The zither gently rested in her palm, as if it had become one with her.
The Queen slowly descended from the throne, her skirt swaying gently with each step, making a soft rustling sound. Her gaze was gentle and full of gratitude, as if it could warm one's heart.
She walked up to Luo Qing, put her hands together, and bowed deeply.
Luo Qing quickly helped her up, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
The empress raised her head and took off an exquisite bronze pendant from her neck. The pendant was inlaid with an emerald green gemstone that shimmered with a mysterious light.
"Miss Luo Qing, this is a token of our Bronze Kingdom, representing our highest honor and gratitude. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can always come to us." The Queen's voice was gentle and melodious, like a clear spring in a mountain stream.
She shrank the pendant and gently placed it in Luo Qing's hand. Luo Qing felt the warmth emanating from the pendant, as if she could sense the Empress's sincerity and gratitude.
Luo Qing took out the Xuan Tie Token, "Let's exchange contact information."
The Queen and the King each took out similar tokens from their robes. The three of them touched the tokens together, and a faint light flashed, as if some invisible bond had been established between them.
"Alright, you can contact us anytime via the Black Iron Token from now on," the king said with a smile, his eyes filled with trust and gratitude for Luo Qing and the others.
Luo Qing also smiled with relief, knowing that this friendship and connection would be a valuable asset on their future adventures.
She waved to the King and Queen, then turned and led her teammates out of the hall.
Luo Qing and the others walked out of the main hall, and the sunlight shone on them, as if they were draped in a layer of golden light.
Tie Yue was already waiting outside the hall. When he saw Luo Qing and the others come out, he immediately went to greet them with a bright smile on his face.
"Miss Luo Qing, are you leaving already?" Tie Yue's voice was loud and full of reluctance.
Luo Qing nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, we still have many places to explore. However, we will always remember your kindness and friendship."
Tie Yue scratched his head and chuckled, "Then you must come and visit often in the future. The gates of our Bronze Kingdom will always be open to you!"
Luo Qing and the others nodded, indicating that they would definitely come again.
