Chapter 17 CHAPTER 16 : Waitress Or The Owner ?
Inside the motel in one of the rooms, Joey sat crossed leg on his bed while closing his eyes. He was currently practicing the movement technique taught by the Long Ai.
He revised the scene of how Ai demonstrated the movement technique to him. He continued the scene again and again. But he didn't find any clue. Afterward, he began doing the slow-motion thing this time. He continued the process again and again.
" Oh! That is it. Hahaha, I must have done that. The first three movements are based on using the agility of the pure leg power. So, I must train my legs with more weight from now on. Perhaps frog jumping might work out too. " He laughed and said to himself, he then adjusted his suit to change weight around 10 kg each to both his two legs.
" Hah soo heavy. Let us keep at it for now . ". He then laid on the bed to sleep.
The next day, Joey woke up early in the morning as usual. Then he started the physical technique he got from his father with 600 kg weight on his body. The technique was like the tai chi technique but it was focused more on the extreme side especially on muscle strengthening power.
After two straight hours of exercise, sweat started pouring out of his body and he stopped . Then he went inside the washroom and took a warm bath.
After some time, Joey came out of his room wearing a white huanfu dress.
" Good that you have come here. Everyone is waiting for you here. Let's go. " Chao said to him.
Then they all started to move out of the motel. When they nearly reached the door, Chun Hua came out from the kitchen side and spoke out, " Hey! Little brother Joey, you are leaving without saying even a goodbye to this elder sister. "
The group stopped, turned toward her, and looked at her with confusion. They had some doubts about her like " We are not close enough to do that. Also, who is this lady? Waitress? Auctioneer? "
" Oh! Its elder sister, Chu Hua. I apologize. I think you may be at the auction place today. " Joey said to her while clasping his hand.
" What shall I call you? Joey or the fifth prince or your highness? " She asked him playfully.
After seeing Joey's big stunned in the auction house and also considering the powerful groups of men beside him, she became more curious and had a background check on him through various channels of the Hall of Fortune. Afterward, she came to know the truth that he was the 5th prince of the Tang nation.
"Elder sister, I still prefer you call me 'Joey'. Also, are you really a waitress here? " Joey replied to her and asked her with a sly smile.
" Little brother, you know that my name is on the motel's name tag. I am naturally the boss here," She replied.
" Sister Chu, you were so cool yesterday," He said with a thump up while she stuck out her tongue trying to make a funny face. Joey thought that she was very cute doing that.
" Are you leaving today ?"
" Yep ."
" Little brother Joey, if you happen to come here in Glory city, don't forget to come here and meet me. Next time, I will provide you with a VIP service ." She giggled.
" Sister Chen, I will remember that," He replied.
" Hey kiddo, stop flirting with her anymore. It's time to leave. " Chao informed him. They had to reach the northern fort and report quickly today.
Joey bid her farewell and they all came out of the motel. Afterward, they met Bojing outside of the main city gate.
" Hello, senior Bojing. We met again. " Joey greeted him while clasping his hand.
Bojing nodded at him with a smile and bowed slightly to Chao.
" I have brought your longbow. Check it, boy. " Bojing took out a long wooden case along with a basket full of arrows and threw toward him. The arrows in the basket were all black in color except for the bottom of the arrows attached with red feathers.
Joey slowly opened up the wooden case. He held the longbow inside it with his right hand taking it out and gazed carefully on it. The longbow was about 10 kg in weight. It was green in color and similar in design to Chao's longbow.
He loved everything about this longbow. He caressed it slowly with his palm.
Seeing the longbow, Chao had an urge to check it out too.
" Joey, let me take a look. " Chao spread out his right hand toward the longbow.
" Sure senior. "Joey gave it to him.
Firstly, Chao slowly caressed the longbow and said out aloud," Weight is okay ."
Then he took out an arrow from the basket and nocked it on the bowstring. He gripped the string with his index, middle, and ring fingers, with the arrow between his index and middle. He pulled the string at his max. and released the arrow. A 'twang' sound could be heard while the arrow was moving at an incredible speed and quickly hit at the tip of a mountain 10 miles away from them.
'Bang bang bang' sound echoed and could be heard from far away. They could see the top of the mountain covered with dust. After some time, they could see that the tip of the mountain was no longer there.
" What!" Everyone there exclaimed.
" Is this the limit of this longbow ?" Joey asked curiously.
" Oh! It is just half of its power. If I have more strength, I can draw more power than that. " Chao explained seriously.
" My younger brother is a genius at making longbows. He begins to make my bow when he was 5. Now, he can make something beyond my limit. Hahaha. You make me proud kiddo. " Chao praised his brother laughing while Bojing was about to cry. Seeing the crying look of Bojing, Joey felt amazed.
" Yes. Senior Bojing is a true genius. " Joey also honestly praised him.
" Okay okay, stop praising him too much. Tch, look at him now, he is a drunkard. " He scolded him.
Joey took out a black stone and said, " Senior Bojing, take it ."
It was the Deldrimor steel stone that Joey got in the auction yesterday.
Seeing the stone in his hand, Bojing exclaimed out loud happily," Good boy! You don't let me down. You can always come to me for any weapons you need in the near future. "
Afterward, Captain Chao whistled at the sky. The black eagle flew back quickly and landed before them. They all jumped up on its back. They sat on its back in their previous spot. Then the eagle started soaring above the ground.
Chao looked at his brother on the ground and spoke out loudly, " Goodbye brother. You should carefully think about what I said to you yesterday. "
" See you, senior. " Joey waved at him.
