Smart assistant Brian Morgan said, “You need to be careful. Lust is like a bone-scraping steel blade—once you get addicted, the consequences are severe.”

Looking at his prematurely mature demeanor, Brian Morgan couldn’t help but retort, “At your age, do you even know what the dangers of lust are?”

The assistant shook his head in confusion. Brian Morgan pulled him toward the adult products section. “Those monks definitely never taught you this. Since I’m in a good mood today, I’ll give you a free sex education lesson.”

Brian Morgan’s real goal was to shake him off. When they reached the adult products section, they were stopped at the entrance by a salesgirl. “Sorry! Kids aren’t allowed inside!”

Brian Morgan patted the assistant’s bald head. “How about… you wait here for me? I’ll be right back!”

The assistant asked suspiciously, “What are you going in there for?”

Brian Morgan smiled and said, “I see all of you with shiny bald heads, exposed to the sun all day. I want to buy you some hats!”

The assistant sheepishly touched the back of his head. “Go quickly and come back soon. This humble monk will wait for you here.”

Brian Morgan suppressed his inner glee and headed toward the adult products section. Unexpectedly, the salesgirl stopped Brian Morgan again. “Sorry! You must be at least eighteen to enter!”

“Who says Brian Morgan isn’t eighteen? I just had my birthday!” Brian Morgan explained with a smile, but the salesgirl was quite stubborn. She pointed to the LCD screen next to Brian Morgan. “The electronic detector shows you’re still under eighteen!”

Seeing his plan about to fail, Brian Morgan leaned in and whispered in her ear, “You have sharp eyes, sis. Let me tell you a secret—even though I’m five months short of eighteen, I’ve already been living with my girlfriend!”

“No way…” The salesgirl covered her mouth in shock.

Brian Morgan nodded seriously. “You know… when two people live together, these things are bound to happen…”

The salesgirl blushed and nodded, clearly having some experience in this area.

She still didn’t let him in, but made a small concession. “If you need something, maybe I can get it for you!”

Brian Morgan lowered his voice. “My girlfriend is really picky about brands, and besides, she asked me to buy some SM gear. I’m really embarrassed to say it out loud…”

The salesgirl’s face turned as red as a ripe apple. From her expression, Brian Morgan could tell she was giving tacit approval for him to go in.

Brian Morgan calmly walked into the adult products section, pretending to carefully select condoms, but kept an eye on the assistant in the distance.

The assistant clearly didn’t trust Brian Morgan, his gaze fixed on him the whole time. Thinking of the little monk’s mysterious martial arts skills, Brian Morgan felt a bit uneasy. He had to come up with a foolproof escape plan.

At that moment, he heard a coquettish voice whisper in his ear, “Handsome, can you do me a little favor?” Brian Morgan turned around and saw the two seductive women he’d met earlier in the supermarket, smiling at him.

Brian Morgan smiled and nodded—he’d always had a soft spot for beautiful women.

The red-haired woman pointed at the condoms in his hand and asked sweetly, “How does this brand feel to use…” Brian Morgan was stirred by her bewitching voice—this woman was really bold, clearly flirting with him.

He glanced at the assistant in the distance. The little monk looked anxious, pacing back and forth at the entrance. A brilliant idea popped into Brian Morgan’s mind, and he said to the women, “Could you help me with a little favor first?”

Both beauties nodded.

Brian Morgan whispered, “See that little monk outside? He keeps following me around asking for alms. I’m about to lose my mind. Can you help me shake him off?”

The red-haired woman smiled charmingly. “That’s easy!” She winked at Brian Morgan and gracefully walked outside. The other woman whispered to Brian Morgan, “As long as my sister keeps the little monk busy, you come with me and slip out the back door!” Brian Morgan nodded happily, thinking to himself, “I really am irresistible—these beauties are willing to help me out.”

The red-haired woman blocked the assistant’s view. The assistant reached out to push her aside, but his hand landed on her ample chest. The red-haired woman seized the opportunity to grab the assistant and screamed, “Molester!”

“That’s a bit much!” Brian Morgan hadn’t expected her to use such a primitive tactic on a kid, but he quickly realized that, primitive as it was, it was very effective. Curious shoppers immediately gathered around.

The woman next to Brian Morgan grabbed his hand. “Hurry, let’s go!” Reminded by her, Brian Morgan snapped out of it and quickly followed her toward the back door.

There was a small parking lot at the supermarket’s back entrance. Brian Morgan followed the woman to a red maglev car. She unlocked the door with a remote, and as soon as Brian Morgan and she got in, they saw the assistant desperately chasing after them from the back door.
