296: Chapter 296 Photoshoot

"Mr. Bronk can make women's clothing too?"

Before Amelia could speak, Ruby, who was standing nearby, asked in surprise.

Although there were women's clothing designers in the city, men were a minority; most men looked down on this profession.

"Of course, I'm a professional in this regard."

Nie Ning smiled slightly and took out a set of pale yellow palace-style attire.

Although he didn't know much about it, back home he used to love scrolling through videos of beautiful women.

With his current superhuman memory and manual dexterity, as long as he had the materials, making clothes wasn't difficult.

Amelia and Ruby's eyes lit up when they saw the clothes in Nie Ning's hands.

Compared to male Transcendents, female Transcendents were very sensitive to beautiful things.

Most male Transcendents only cared about whether their equipment was strong or not; whether it looked good was secondary.

Although they didn't know how the clothes would look on someone, they looked quite nice on their own, so the effect probably wouldn't be too bad.

"How about I try them on?"

Ruby said impatiently.

Nie Ning looked at Ruby's chest, then at Amelia, an awkward expression appearing on his face. "The clothes are a bit big; they might not fit you."

Noticing Nie Ning's gaze, Ruby's face flushed, and she quickly covered her chest. "Rogue!"

Amelia, on the other hand, unconsciously puffed out her chest.

If nothing else, at least Nie Ning had a good eye and could see her natural beauty.

"As mages, we should help each other. I'll reluctantly help you try them out."

Amelia raised her head arrogantly, looked at Nie Ning with a disdainful gaze, and said coolly.

A hint of joy flashed in Nie Ning's eyes. "Then I really must thank you for your help, Miss Amelia."

...

Next, Nie Ning took out the clothes for Amelia to change into.

He had to admit, his craftsmanship was truly beyond reproach!

Top-notch, first-rate level!

Amelia looked ethereal after putting them on.

She was surrounded by bits of starlight and a colorful silken glow.

Except for the Western-looking face appearing a bit strange, beautiful people look good in almost anything.

She had both the figure and the looks.

After rotating through three sets of clothes, the effects were all surprisingly good.

Although it was a bit flamboyant, with starlight drifting about at every turn, people nowadays had high levels of acceptance, and overall, it looked quite good.

Nie Ning took the opportunity to record it with a shadow recording stone and had Amelia strike some professional poses, tricking her by saying it was to see how the clothes looked.

Of course, what Nie Ning considered "professional" mainly involved capturing Amelia's impressive figure.

While men wouldn't wear women's clothing, seeing these photos might lead them to buy the clothes for their female companions; this way, he could earn money from both men and women.

Meanwhile, Amelia was completely dazed by Nie Ning's smooth talk.

Facing Nie Ning's various compliments, even as the young miss of the Yishi Mansion, she found it a bit much to handle.

She was actually tricked by Nie Ning into finishing a whole set of personal portrait photos.

When the photos were finished, Nie Ning looked at his masterpiece and felt that even if he didn't sell clothes, he could make a fortune just by selling Amelia's portrait photos.

However, he still had some professional ethics; some things shouldn't be touched, or they would only invite trouble.

...

"The clothes are decent, and the material is quite novel, but the additional spells on them are a bit lacking."

After changing out of the clothes, Amelia returned to her previous cold and aloof demeanor, critiquing the garments.

"My attainments in Alchemy and Runology are a bit lacking. I'm actually planning to find an Alchemy master to help."

Nie Ning shrugged and surreptitiously put the shadow recording stone back into his spatial ring.

Hearing this, Amelia looked at the beautiful clothes in her hands and suddenly had an idea.

"If you give me half the profits and decision-making power, I could help you find a master in Alchemy."

"You're dreaming. Do you know how expensive intellectual property is? Demanding half just for finding an Alchemy master—you might as well just rob me."

"With your status in the Yishi Mansion, isn't that a very simple matter?"

Nie Ning curled his lip and said sarcastically.

He earned money for his own use, not to work hard just to be someone else's employee.

Asking for half right off the bat—even if you were a Rank 7 Transcendent, you'd have to get lost!

At worst, I just won't do it at all!

Amelia ignored Nie Ning's tone and sat down on a nearby stool, unbothered.

"I'll find you an Alchemy master and can also protect you in the name of the Yishi Mansion. Half the profits shouldn't be too much."

"Then why don't you just open a shop yourself? That way, you'll have the final say in everything."

Nie Ning still showed no sign of compromising.

Perhaps the terms Amelia offered were indeed good, and having the backing of the Yishi Mansion could save a lot of trouble.

But Nie Ning really couldn't stand the feeling of things being out of his control.

If he couldn't have the decision-making power, he'd rather not play than let someone else benefit!

Amelia looked at Nie Ning, not expecting him to be so stubborn.

For anyone else, hearing about a partnership representing the Yishi Mansion, they would be eager to hand over half the profits.

Because this would only lead to earning more and having far fewer troubles.

Unfortunately, times had changed; public opinion was a powerful thing, and the old way of using force no longer worked.

As a purely neutral organization, the Yishi Mansion had maintained its reputation for a thousand years; if it were exploited by those with ulterior motives, major problems could easily arise.

Everything had to be done with a justifiable cause; this was also the Yishi Mansion's way of survival.

"Why don't you think about it some more? This is a rare opportunity that many people would beg for."

Amelia said slowly.

"We'll see. No one knows how the business will be received. If sales are poor, it might affect the Yishi Mansion's reputation."

Hearing this, Nie Ning could only decline tactfully.

Barring any accidents, he would leave this place after finishing one big job.

After all, Heloise's grudge had yet to be avenged; he couldn't stay here forever.

"You can notify me once you've thought it through."

With that, Amelia tossed a white jade nameplate to Nie Ning.

Nie Ning looked at it; the jade plate had the character for 'Food' engraved on it, with Elemental Power flowing inside.

It was likely the same type of item as the sound transmission boxes in Ska City, or perhaps a more advanced version.

Immediately after, Amelia left the villa with Ruby and the other person.

...

After Amelia left, Saya eagerly approached and asked with a curious face, "My Lord, how was it?"

"It was alright. See for yourself."

Nie Ning tossed the shadow recording stone to Saya.

Saya caught the shadow recording stone.

As mana was injected into it, a projection emerged.

"So beautiful~"

Saya couldn't help but praise.

Amelia had a beautiful face and an excellent figure; putting on the clothes Nie Ning made gave her a unique sense of beauty.

But as she watched, Saya noticed something was slightly off.

These poses...

Why are they getting more and more provocative?

"My Lord, how did you convince Miss Amelia to film this kind of footage?"

Looking at the footage from the shadow recording stone, Saya couldn't help but ask.

Nie Ning gave a mysterious smile. "It's a secret."
