After Tang Zimo left, it was already dark. Joey felt hungry, so he walked up to the dining hall.
There he could see Aunt Bai placing the dishes ready for him to eat. She bowed slightly to him. He then sat on a chair beside the dining table.
" Aunt Bai, you sit down too. Let us eat together today. It is boring to eat alone. " Joey said to her.
" No, your highness. I am just a maid. " She denied while waving her head.
Then Joey reached to her and pushed her on a chair.
" No one is here. Aunt Bai, I just like to eat together with someone here. And I will be leaving the palace tomorrow. Please talk to me casually when we are alone, and I always thought of you as my 2nd mother. Moreover, you must go back to my mother's side again from tomorrow onward."Joey said and started eating a chicken leg.
" Kid, you are leaving tomorrow. I will really miss you ."Aunt Bai said with worry.
" Aunt Bai, I will miss you too. Alright, please eat this . " Joey moved some plates towards her, and they started eating together. They started chatting about their happy days while eating.
After taking the supper, Joey took his leave while bidding her good night. He returned to his room. He sat on his bed and recollected all the gain he gained from Ai and his father.
" I will study the dragon language first," He muttered.
Then Joey closed his eyes and focused his mind on his soul. He saw two books lying there. He used his soul force on the book with the name ' DRAGON LANGUAGE ' on its cover and opened a page to look at the content filled with weird scriptures on it. " What shall I do to learn this? " He thought deeply for a while.
" Let us see if I can take it outside. " Then he used his soul force to move the book out of his body.
He opened his eyes and could see the book in his hand. " Good, it is working ."
Joey suddenly remembered how he refined the dress and the pair of boots related to the dragon. The dragon language book was also related to dragons.
"Maybe it will work like before ."
Then he cut his palm with the knife on his waist and squished his palm while drops of blood fell into the book. Then the book lighted up and moved toward his forehead. Then he could hear various voices along with multiple words flash in his eyes. He memorized everything and started mumbling in a unique tone. For several hours he remained in that state.
He could see the Dragon language book inside his consciousness sea again there. Afterward, Joey slowly opened his eyes.
(After his soul become complete, once he hears or seen something once, he would completely memorize it. )
He thought, " Ai says that I am a halfling dragon. Every member of our Tang is human, which concluded that my mother must be the dragon. "
Thinking deeply he murmured, " That means my elder sister is also a halfling dragon like me . . I am feeling so tired, let us take some rest. It is not good to overthink this matter. Let us leave it to the future. "
Afterward, he yawned, then he lay on his bed sleeping and started snoring quickly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Joey woke up early in the morning. He went to his washroom and started doing his morning hygiene.
He came back and started changing to his usual white dress.
" I am used to that weight. Let us increase it a bit," He said to himself while using his dragon root to change them to 400 kg weight. Then he felt the weight again.
He again started exercising using his bed. With both the weight of his body and the bed he lifted, enough pressure was given from his foot to the floor. After several hours, sweat started pouring out from his body, dripping wet all over, and he finished exercising.
Afterward, he changed his robe after taking a bath.
"Xiǎo ér, I am coming inside. " A feminine voice could be heard. Menglou came inside the room, followed by Aunt Bai.
" Good morning, mom and aunt Bai. " Joey greeted them while clasping his hands on them.
They both nodded. Even though Aunt Bai was Menglou's maid and best friend at the same time, she started babysitting Joey's predecessor from his birth until now. She considered Joey as her son in her heart.
They sat inside the round table in his room while drinking tea.
Joey took a sip of the tea on his teacup once and asked with a warm smile, " Why do you come here early this morning? "
" Hey, we come here to have a good chat with our little boy before you leave the palace. Are you busy now? " Menglou asked.
" Not at all. I am planning to meet both of you, so it is even better that you two came here instead. " Joey said, taking another sip. Then they started to chat happily about their daily things inside the palace.
After some time, a palace guard came before his courtyard while loudly stating the royal order from the emperor. The royal order stated that Joey should arrive at the palace military drilling ground by noon and leave for the northern fort to join the army and study the military there.
Then, Menglou left the room, telling him that she would meet him at the drilling ground.
" Alright kiddo, you better have a look around the palace and city while I pack up your daily necessities." Aunt Bai told him lovingly and she also excused herself.
Joey came out roaming around the palace and then came outside to the city. He visited all the popular restaurants there while packing different kinds of delicacies and kept inside his space ring. Today, he continued his shopping spree from one shop to another buying everything that he liked.
He then returned back to his quarter, collecting the packed food and dresses from aunt Bai. Bidding her goodbye, Joey went to the palace military drilling ground.
When he came inside the huge green grass field, he saw his royal mother waving her hand toward him and Joey moved beside his mother.
A muscular big man who seemed to be in his forties came to the center of the ground. He was the leader of the Bloody Meteor Hammer team, Captain Yang Chao. Afterward, another 15 men walked in and stood behind him.
