My Sassy ‘Crown Princess’ Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Lin Feiyu
Lou Yu sat in his star car blandly, while Su Rong looked at him and asked gingerly, “My prince, is it appropriate to send such little betrothal gifts?”
Lou Yu caught a glimpse of Su Rong and asked, “So you think it’s inappropriate?”
Su Rong forced a smile, “No, I mean, of course not.”
Lou Yu snorted, thinking, “That Mo Fei was talking about making a living by prostitution with Mo Yi! That son of bitch! He shouldn’t even have sent that box of Star Herbs. He should have sent him only one straw to humiliate him!”
Looking at Lou Yu’s gnashing expression, Su Rong asked out of curiosity, “My prince, is there something wrong between you and the crown princess?”
“Come on. What could go wrong between us?” said Lou Yu blandly.
Su Rong, “…”
“A-choo!” Mo Fei rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, “Some hot chick must be missing me.”
“Maybe it’s Prince Yu.” said Mo Yi.
Mo Fei glanced at Mo Yi and said, “Don’t mention that niggard before me. It makes me mad. I have never seen someone bitchier than him. Look at those herbs. Most of the rootstocks are damaged. He only sent me a box of lower level herbs, a box of rejects! He deserves to go to hell!”
A star car was speeding along the road and drove all the way before Prince Yu’s mansion. Su Rong found someone who shouldn’t appear here.
After getting out the car, Lou Yu’s face darkened on seeing Lin Feiyu.
“What are you doing here?” asked Lou Yu.
Lin Feiyu looked at Lou Yu innocently, “Lou Yu, I’m here to visit you.”
Su Rong frowned while looking at Lin Feiyu. Lin Feiyu was Lou Yu’s childhood sweetheart. Lou Yu had taken care of Lin Feiyu since he was young. Lin Feiyu’s physique belonged to level B, spiritual power level S, quite suitable to be a pharmacist. In fact, Lin Feiyu was indeed a potion talent. At such a young age, he could already make level 3 potions.

Su Rong was Lou Yu’s trustedfollower. Of course he knew Lou Yu had feelings for Lin Feiyu. Pity that Lin Feiyu only took him as a good friend. The one he loved was Lou Yu’s elder brother Lou Feng.
Lou Yu nodded, “Thank you for coming all the way to see me.”
Lin Feiyu raised his head and looked at Lou Yu, “Brother Lou Yu, they said you are getting married.”
Lou Yu nodded, “Yes, the wedding will be held in three days.”
“Brother Lou Yu, if you don’t like your fiancée, you just cancel it. Your fiancée isn’t good enough for you at all. Brother Lou Yu, you deserve someone better. Don’t give up on yourself since I turned you down.” said Lou Yu while looking at Lou Yu.
Lou Yu made no comment of his words but said instead, “Mo Fei is good.”
Lin Feiyu looked at Lou Yu, kind of surprised, frowning, “But I heard he is pregnant, and as tight as a drum, double-dealing. Brother Lou Yu, Mo Fei is really a terrible person. Don’t be fooled.”
“He ain’t that bad.” Lou Yu then thought to himself: Mo Fei is terrible for real, I have never met someone more terrible than him!
Su Rong glanced at Lou Yu. He was quite surprised that Lou Yu would speak for Mo Fei.
Lin Feiyu said with his brows knitted, “Brother Lou Yu, you seldom speak for someone.”
Lou Yu smiled, “Mo Fei will be my consort. Of course I should speak for him.”
Lin Feiyu’s face got a little stiff, “It seems you really like that guy called Mo Fei. I wish you all the best.”
Lou Yu smiled, “Thank you.”
At this time a star car drove by, from which walked out a handsome young man wearing a silver suit.

“Feiyu, what are you doing here? I was looking for you. Mother invites us for dinner tonight.” said Lou Feng.
Lin Feiyu then smiled at Lou Yu regrettably, “Brother Lou Yu, I gotta go.”
Lou Yu nodded as a response. Then Lin Feiyu ran at Lou Feng. Lou Feng held Lin Feiyu’s shoulder and gave Lou Yu a provoking look in an angle Lin Feiyu couldn’t see.
Lou Yu narrowed his eyes, with raging fire in his eyes.
With Lin Feiyu in his arms, Lou Feng felt kind of cocky, thinking, “Lou Yu had higher aptitude than me. So what? At last the one he loves loves me! Even though so many people out there like Lou Yu, but finally he ends up marrying a two-bit nobody.”

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.

Once the land spread far and wide and the world was bathed in sunshine and life, but, this is not the story of that land.

This story was previously known as "The Awakening".~*~"One... two... three... one... two... three... a million... is that number right?" A figure less voice echoed."Hello? Who's there?" Caliope asked, focusing on that voice."One... two... who? A million... a billion... no, it's more... a legion..."Silence. She had seen too many horror movies and heard too many stories about that single word to overpass its meaning. The voice went quiet, yet she was still unable to see where it came from. She rubbed her eyes and all she could see around her was a thick path in a jungle-like scene. She didn't remember how she got there, but she knew it was for something important. Her eyes focused on the far end of the path and all she could see were more trees. She turned to the opposite side and found just the same."One... two... billions... but always back at one..." the voice resumed it's counting."Where are you? Who are you?"~*~-Her name is Caliope, and when she was a young girl, she never believed in happy endings. For her, there was nothing more than what you see in front of you.

I felt all the color drain from my face and dropped back onto the bed not sure I could stand. "You mean-...I'm a-... father?" It sounded like Ayumi was struggling to breathe, "Yes...I'm not calling to make you feel guilty...it's just...there was an accident, it doesn't look like I'm going to make it, and-." Her voice cracked, "I know you weren't ready for a family and its unfair of me to do this to you, but you're the only I trust enough to care for her..." Her? Tears welled in my eyes, "I have a daughter?"
