Frankly, Mr. Mi also feels dissatisfied seeing that his works were almost close to perfection and his curiosity over what kind of expression would Xiao Yun showed this time, "Are you sure it would work?" Mr. Mi asked but before San Du could reply, he stated again. "Alright, I agree. However, first, you have to persuade him. If he agreed we will proceed with it. Take it as your first step to precessional." He smiled to his junior, reflecting back an excited smile to San Du's face. "I will do my best!"
He went over to the corner of the studio, looking at Wang Li Lei who was menacingly tall and had the pressuring posture on him, San Du felt a little discouraged. He was still trying to think about what he should say to persuade the man when he heard a voice.
"Mr. San, has Mr. Mi resumed the photo shoot?" Xiao Yun asked when she caught the hesitant figure of Mr. Mi's assistant.
Having the first one to be asked, it made San Du easier to discuss. "About that." He paused, glancing at Wang Li Lei but stopped at his neck and continued in a hurry. "The male model for the last photo shoot is now at the hospital due to food poisoning. So, as we don't have any current model, would the man beside you become your partner?"
Xiao Yun showed a confused expression, glancing once at Wang Li Lei still cool looking expression and heard San Du spoke again. "It's alright, he doesn't have to show his face. Only his back would do fine."
"Alright." Wang Li Lei agreed with his usual stern voice. Xiao Yun crooked her brows still having the word 'no' on the tip of her tongue when suddenly Wang Li Lei's agreement chimed beside her ears.
"Li Lei?" She asked.
"You need help." He spoke gently, rubbing his hand to her forehead before tapping the point of her nose playfully. "Also, I don't want to see you holding other's hand. It's a perfect chance." Xiao Yun was lost for words, holding her own nose in a puzzle as her eyes were enchanted by his expression. "Let's go." He spoke to San Du and walked three steps away to stop and turned his face. "I will be waiting."

Feeling her head in a mess, Xiao Yun walked back to the changing room. She was feeling quite troubled earlier when Mr. Mi mentioned that she would be modeling with a male model as her counterpart. As to Xiao Yun, she wouldn't like touching any other man than Wang Li Lei. Thus know, although she felt conflicted, she was very happy that Wang Li Lei would be taking a picture with her.
She took her makeups appliance, smiling with a passionate gaze. She will be using her most talented makeup skill!
Wang Li Lei who had already been wearing a suit had already fit the theme and didn't have to change his clothing. He stood there, having many eyes of female ogling at the picturesque sight of the perfect cold man that stayed there while crossing his arm and leaning on one of the walls. Jang Hyun found his master in the most noticeable spot and quickly reported Lin Chang Lu's evil scheme.
"I do think Ms. Lin had been planning on doing this for a very long time." Jang Hyun replied.
"Sooner or later she would have done it." Wang Li Lei murmured coldly. "However her underhanded method had really gone out of hand." At the end of his word, his black eyes held a visible anger. The secretary knew how Wang Li Lei never tolerated people harming his family and queried again. "Although, I think that Ms. Lin still doesn't know that the young lady is the CEO of Azure it's a coincidence that they clashed now. Should I do something to clear this matter, master?"
"No need." Xiao Yun replied when she overheard Jang Hyun's words from afar. Wang Li Lei cast his gaze away from the wall to her. Xiao Yun was wearing a splendid red colored dress with black laces. Although the dress didn't show any unnecessary amount of cleavage, it beautifully enhanced her sexiness. With her white nape contrasting to the red color of the dress, the sight was alluring and stirred the man of Wang Li Lei who had been restrained for a long time.
Although Xiao Yun had been a feast to his eyes every day, red looked perfect on her. He covered his mouth, the lower half of his face with his heated gaze staying on the oblivious Xiao Yun. Dangerous, he thought. He almost had wanted to bring her somewhere behind a locked door.

Behind them, the woman who had thought and cursed Xiao Yun for being lucky to snag a perfect man like him couldn't help but praise how well they suit each other side by side.
Xiao Yun touched his hand carefully making his eyelashes shake. "Lin Chang Lu isn't our priority. We have to first topple down her minions."
"You mean Mr. Mi?" Wang Li Lei spoke.
"Mhm, and some extra others." She balled her hand. "How dare they mess with my friend."
San Du saw them afar and quickly ran toward them. "Ms. Yu, are you two ready for the photo shoot now?"
Xiao Yun strained her neck to see Wang Li Lei's expression and firmly replied. "Yes."
They both walked to the middle of the spot, even though it was cold in the studio the bold light shining over them felt like the sun. Mr. Mi set up the camera while Xiao Yun stayed on the place, at lost in what to do. Taking pictures alone would have been easier because now, she doesn't know where she should place her hand on him.
When the rest of the staff setting a wooden stool for Wang Li Lei, the preparation time wrapped after Mr. Mi stated aloud. "We are ready now."
Xiao Yun nodded, seeing at Wang Li Lei's broad back, she felt that he became a manlier figure with a very strong back. She gingerly placed her hand to his shoulder when Mr. Mi cleared his throat to walk toward her and discussed. "Ms. Yu, as I had explained earlier, the theme of the photo shoot would be 'bewitching' but I would better interpret this theme easier for you as the possessiveness of a woman. Do you understand?" Seeing Xiao Yun nodded with a serious look he walked back to his camera. "I will proceed again."
Possessiveness of a woman? Xiao Yun repeated in her mind. Possessiveness? But with only his back what should I do?
She was still in the middle of her contemplation when she heard a sudden sound of clap from Mr. Mi. "Let's Start!"
Xiao Yun placed her hand down to his shoulder, seeing the fact that he hid behind and recalled the theme. Possessiveness, it was a close feeling to her. The feeling that Wang Li Lei had for her was also inside of Xiao Yun. She doesn't want anyone to see Wang Li Lei as a romantic interest and how she doesn't want to have any woman every coming to sparkle his eyes. Every day, as a woman who had fallen for him, the possessiveness was clear as a sunny day. But to show it to a camera was different.
No perhaps not too different, Xiao Yun thought.
From where she was, Xiao Yun turned her body, walking in front of Wang Li Lei and locked her eyes with his for a moment. The people who saw what she was doing cocked their heads to the side wondering what she was doing.
Xiao Yun wrapped her hand delicately to his neck. Feeling his breaths brushing to her nape and gave her a shiver. She placed her face to his left side of his face, smiling with her blood-like lips wickedly to posses what hers entirely.
When everyone saw her expression, the gulped and can't help but feel a murderous chill running down to them. They couldn't look away from her but at the same time, they couldn't help but want to see more of her desire for the man.
Although Xiao Yun was smiling, it didn't hide how she was deeply bewitched by Wang Li Lei and will never have anyone take a look at him. And if there is one who dares, the outcome was clear by looking at her provocative gaze. She swirled down her possessiveness to an elegant touch of his neck, however, her greed and desire to have every drop of him as her own was evident upon her eyes.
Before he knew it, Mr. Mi had pushed the button to his camera for who knows how many times, almost to the point his storage was filled with only one pose.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
