Volume One, Chapter Seven: Punishing the Female Sales Assistant!

"That is correct, I am here to buy women's lingerie!"

Su Ming said this quite earnestly, despite having merely glanced at the sales assistant. The problem was that he knew absolutely nothing about lingerie, and he had no idea what size his younger sister wore. This put him in a difficult position. After all, he couldn't exactly ask his sister—that would be incredibly awkward for both of them.

"I see. In that case, may I ask who you are buying this for?" the girl asked, following up with, "And please, tell me the size."

"It's for my sister. I don't know her size, but her figure is quite similar to yours..." Su Ming paused, looking the sales assistant up and down, then added politely, "Would you mind trying some on for me?"

His gaze, however, was misinterpreted by the saleswoman.

"You disgusting pervert! How dare you hit on me?" she shrieked, her face flushed with indignation. "Have you no shame? A grown man walking into a women's lingerie shop asking me to try things on for him? Are you sick in the head?"

She felt as though his eyes were lingering inappropriately on her chest and hips, and she bristled with offense. "You don't look like you can afford anything here anyway. Get lost, or I'll call security to throw you out!"

"Forget it, talking to you is a complete waste of time," Su Ming replied, unwilling to waste his breath on someone like her. "Just pack up all these one-size-fits-all items in every color and style. Tell me how much it costs."

"Heh, still pretending, are we?" The saleswoman sneered, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "I'll get every style for you. If you can't pay, just wait and see what happens to you!"

With a huff, she turned and grabbed her walkie-talkie. "Captain Liu? I have a troublemaker here. Could you come over?"

She proceeded to gather various one-size-fits-all lingerie, packing them into over a dozen exquisite gift boxes and piling them in front of Su Ming. Just as he loaded the boxes into a shopping cart and prepared to pay, the sound of chaotic footsteps echoed from outside. A group of security guards rushed in, looking aggressive. Leading them was a bald man wielding a rubber baton.

"Xiao Li, tell Brother Liu which little punk is causing trouble?" the bald man bellowed. "Let's see if he's tired of living."

The crowd of mall shoppers began to gather, eager to watch the spectacle. Xiao Li hurried over to the bald man and whispered, "It's this pervert. He was staring at me and trying to take advantage of me. He picked out the most expensive items in the store—the total comes to at least thirty or forty thousand. If he tries to run without paying, please, Brother Liu, catch him and beat him to a pulp."

Xiao Li fluttered her eyelashes, exuding a seductive air that left Brother Liu completely captivated. His eyes roamed greedily over her chest.

"Don't you worry, leave it to me," Brother Liu said, licking his lips and rubbing his hands together with a menacing grin. "Whatever leg he uses to walk out of here, I'll break it for him."

"Thanks, Brother Liu!" Xiao Li smiled, then turned back to Su Ming, her face shifting instantly into a mask of arrogance. "It's thirty-two thousand yuan. Are you paying by card or cash?" She crossed her arms, looking down at him with utter contempt, certain he couldn't afford the bill.

"Card," Su Ming said, ignoring the guards lurking nearby. He pulled out the bank card Ye Bing had given him and handed it over.

"Poor loser. Let's see how long you can keep up this act," Xiao Li muttered, snatching the card and heading to the POS terminal.

A *ding* sounded—the payment was successful. Xiao Li’s face turned pale with disbelief.

"Finished? Pack these up for me!" Su Ming said, seeing the receipt print out. He gestured to the remaining items and then noticed a small black box on the nearby table, slowly reaching out to pick it up. A wicked smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, right away, sir! Just a moment!" Xiao Li snapped out of her shock. She was stunned—she never imagined he would actually be wealthy enough to buy everything. She rushed to pack the items, but with every time she bent down, her breathing grew shallow. She clamped her legs together instinctively, her entire body trembling violently. Soon, her black-stockinged legs were barely able to support her.

"Hurry up, I'm in a rush," Su Ming urged, pressing a button on the small black box in his hand.

Xiao Li straightened up, wiping sweat from her forehead, her face flushed a deep crimson. "A-ah, yes, boss... I'll have it ready for you immediately." Her movements were increasingly awkward, as if she were squirming from an itch.

The security guards watched in confusion, wondering what was wrong with her. Only Su Ming wore a mischievous smile. His eyes flickered with a faint golden light that vanished as quickly as it appeared. Through his gaze, he saw that the saleswoman standing with her back to him was wearing nothing at all. A charming, peach-like sight.

Indeed, his eyes had been granted the power of clairvoyance by the Dragon Pendant. He had discovered her little secret the moment he walked in. Initially, he had been surprised, but he hadn't thought much of it—everyone had their private quirks. However, because of her hostile attitude and the fact that she had sicced security on him, he felt annoyed and decided to use the remote to teach her a lesson.

Yet, what he intended as a punishment seemed to be something else entirely to her—a strange, perverse pleasure?

"It's ready... boss." Finally, Xiao Li slumped to the floor, panting as if she had just finished a three-kilometer run, drenched in sweat. The other guards stood frozen, puzzled as to why she would be so exhausted from simply packing a few boxes. Was she too delicate, or was her health simply failing?

Su Ming pulled the cart away, casually tossing the small black box onto the floor. "Didn't realize you were into such wild things. Haha..."

He strode out of the shop, the guards instinctively parting to let him pass. Only then did the saleswoman snap out of her trance. Her eyes widened, and she scrambled to grab the remote from the floor, hiding it behind her back.

*How... how did he know?!*

She hung her head in shame, wishing the ground would swallow her whole. She was terrified—she never imagined her secret had been laid bare.

As Su Ming pushed his cart past a mobile phone store, he stopped. "My sister is still using an old antique of a phone. It's too pathetic. I should buy her a better one." He muttered to himself and headed toward the store.

"Stop right there!"

A roar stopped him in his tracks. Su Ming frowned, turned around, and saw the bald security captain leading his men toward him, blocking his path.
