Going shopping (2)

After leaving the store, Maria led them over to where Guang Liang's limo had been waiting.

He had rushed over here from his guild, so he had taken the company car instead of his normal car.

The driver naturally recognized Maria since Guang Liang had made sure to drill the picture of his big sister into the minds of everyone that worked at his guild. He had also made sure to imprint the message that Maria was their god and should never be mistreated into their minds.

So the driver quickly opened the door for Maria and started asking her if there was anything that she needed.

However, Maria had all that she needed with the cute little girl in her arms, so she rejected his service.

The driver just sat there in silence since she didn't tell him anything about their destination. He couldn't really say anything since he could see through the mirror that she was completely engrossed with what she was doing…which was hugging the little girl and squishing her cheeks.

So the driver just had to sit there in awkward silence.

That was until Guang Liang came in through the passenger side door and sat down beside him.

The driver was surprised by this and said, "Guild master, I…"

But Guang Liang raised his hand to cut him off before saying, "You don't need to worry about me. Just treat me like you would treat any normal person."

The driver was about to say something with an awkward look on his face, but Guang Liang then added with a serious look, "Make sure that you do whatever you can so that my big sister enjoys herself. Or else."

His voice turned cold the moment that he said those final words.

The driver couldn't help trembling before quickly nodding in agreement.

He could tell from Guang Liang's eyes that he was serious and he had been driving long enough for Guang Liang to understand his personality. He was easy to get along with normally, but he was a monster when it came to his big sister.

So the driver knew better than to argue and just agreed as quickly as possible.

Guang Liang opened up the navigation system in the car and put in an address before saying, "Drive."

The driver quickly nodded and stepped on the gas pedal.

But of course, he didn't drive fast and focused on making the ride as smooth as possible. He wasn't someone that had started in the driving business just yesterday, he already had ten years of experience driving for high class passengers, so he knew exactly what they wanted.

Of course, since he was driving for high class passengers, his car was different from others.

It had a function that would allow him to control the very streetlights of the city before he reached them, which would make the lights turn green, allowing him to get his clients to their destinations as quickly as possible without speeding.

But of course, only the most elite of elites would be able to have this kind of thing installed in their cars.

This was what a S Ranker like Guang Liang was.

It was a very smooth ride and Maria didn't even notice it when they arrived.

It was only when Guang Liang told them that they were there that they realized that they had arrived.

Before she could come out, the driver quickly came out of the car and went over to Maria's door, opening it for her. He even bowed slightly since he knew that this was what important people like them liked.

But of course, he didn't really know Maria since he had never met her before.

Maria saw the driver standing there opening the door for her with a respectful look on his face and she couldn't help revealing an awkward look.

She was someone who lived a simple and humble life, so having someone treat her with this kind of respect actually had the opposite effect. She felt bad when she saw this person acting this way and didn't know what to do.

After staring at the driver in a daze for a few seconds, she said with an awkward look, "Eh, you don't need to do this. I can open the door myself."

The driver didn't know what to say since she was the exact opposite of what his normal clients would be like.

It was like two people of completely different cultures clashing together. Neither of them knew how to act around the other person.

Guang Liang noticed this and quickly came over to take over for the driver.

He waved the driver back into the car before reaching his hand out towards Maria and saying, "Big sister, let me."

Maria didn't mind this because she was already used to being treated like this by Guang Liang. She even felt it was cute seeing him like this because she still saw him as the little brother that needed help with everything, so him acting like this in her eyes was like a child trying to act like an adult.

As he was about to turn and head into the store with her, Maria gave a cough.

Guang Liang revealed an awkward smile, but he still turned around to offer Seul Ah his hand.

Then after Seul Ah came out, he offered his hand to the little girl as well.

When she saw this, her eyes couldn't help sparkling as her heart suddenly started beating faster.

But Seul Ah also saw this and quickly came forward to push Guang Liang to the side. Then she offered her hand to the little girl with a "bright" smile on her face.

The little girl clearly wasn't happy with this outcome, but she couldn't say anything about it. So she just took Seul Ah's hand with a "bright" smile of her own and came out of the car.

Maria shook her head when she saw this, but she still led the two of them into the store.

This store was one of the most luxurious clothing stores in all of Hunter City and Guang Liang had completely booked it. There were several beautiful female attendants who had been waiting on the side for them.

When they heard that it was Su Guang Liang that had booked this store, they were filled with excitement.

After all, this was a famous S Ranker that they would almost never have a chance to meet. Not to mention, he was famous for being single because he was obsessed with his big sister.

If they had the chance to catch his eyes…then that would be their ticket to the top!

So they all put on their best faces.

That was until they saw him come in with Seul Ah and the little girl.

Seul Ah was also a famous S Ranker, so they recognized her with a single glance. But what put the final nail in the coffin was the little girl who was walking along with them.

Seul Ah was known as someone who chased after Guang Liang and now the two of them arrived in the store with a little girl like this.

A secret love child?!

But they had never heard of Seul Ah being pregnant before!

Maybe it was different for S Rankers because of their special abilities.

Maybe they didn't get pregnant the same way that normal people did…

Of course, the shock they felt only lasted a second because they were professionals. They wouldn't let their emotions affect their performance, so they stood there in silence with bitter looks in their eyes.

There were some that were even planning on selling this information to the news later.

It was just too bad that those people all disappeared after that and the media outlets that released this information were all shut down.

One shouldn't underestimate how much power S Rankers like Guang Liang and Seul Ah had.

The one that was trying on clothes was the little girl, but it was just too bad that there weren't any clothes in this store that were for adults since this was a store that catered to the rich.

Most of them were just too big for her and it looked very awkward when she tried them out.

Guang Liang immediately realized his mistake when he saw the first dress that she tried.

He had thought that the most luxurious store meant that it was the best store, but that wasn't the case.

As for the little girl, as she looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help feeling a hint of sadness.

As the Assassin King, she had naturally learned how to control her emotions. But it really was hard for her to control them in this situation…

If only her body wasn't like this…

This Wu Qing was actually the oldest person here.

She was already in her thirties, but her body…

That was a side effect of her powers.

She had the ability to stop time, but that came with a side effect. The time that she stopped, it would be taken from her body…

There was a certain limit to how much time would be taken since she never looked younger than she did now, but she also never grew and regained the time that she had lost.

That was because all the time that should have been taken was frozen and slowly taken away from her body as it aged. But she also had to keep using her ability, so more and more time was added onto that balance.

So in a sense, her body was frozen in time because of her powers.

That was why she looked like a little girl.

In theory, she would be able to live forever with this power.

But now that she had someone that she had set her hearts on, she wanted to at least look old enough that it wouldn't be illegal for him to date her…

Maria could see the sadness on her face, so she said, "Come by the store again tomorrow. I'll have Guang Liang come too."

That was the only thing that she could say to comfort her.

The little girl nodded in response.

Even though Maria knew that this was hurting Seul Ah and Guang Liang's relationship, she couldn't help herself.

After all, cute was justice!
