Just like mountain climbing, it is indeed a very tiring and laborious task, monotonous and dull, and along the way, one might feel confused and indecisive, with various urges to retreat. But the moment when you finally reach the summit, none of it matters anymore, because you have definitely overcome the test and tempering of your will and determination during the process, surpassing the previous self.

Therefore, Gu Mo now is really quite attractive to others.

With a straight and upright posture, a steady and strong pace neither fast nor slow, a sharp and bright gaze full of life, it's as if the entire bio-magnetic field of his body is radiating brilliance. Plus, with his well-proportioned facial features and... approximately the subtle boost from his Guardian Spirit's aura, it naturally gives him a kind of unusual, mysterious allure.

The saleswoman returned to her original position, frequently and absentmindedly glancing in that direction.

Gu Mo's actions in picking out clothes were very swift and quick, just taking down what he found pleasing to the eye. After randomly selecting a few sets, he went to the fitting room to try them on. However, this part of the process only needed to be done once, as long as he found the right fit, he could match that size to the other clothes he had chosen without trying each one.

"Sir, this set really suits you, you look as dazzling as a big star—no, even those big stars can't compare to you..."

Seeing Gu Mo come out of the fitting room, adjusting the clothes on him, the saleswoman couldn't help but walk over again, a strange light flickering in her eyes as she complimented him. Just like the sales pitch from before, but this time it wasn't a routine, it was genuinely sincere.

Darn! It's like I can't take my eyes off of him!

The girl's heart pounded, her mind weirdly linked to various romantic scenes, knowing full well it was wrong, yet unable to extricate herself, as if being enchanted by a Fox Elf...

Maybe his features weren't so exquisite to be flawless, but his aura and presence were absolutely phenomenal. She never realized these words' corresponding concepts truly existed and so tangibly.

She used to always hear people talk about aura and presence, but no matter how she looked at herself, she couldn't see it, until now did she truly find these things might really exist... On this handsome guy, there's just this kind of feel, and not just one feeling!

"Hmm, I'm quite satisfied as well..." Gu Mo said casually while adjusting the collar and smoothing out the creased parts of the clothing in the half-body mirror beside the fitting room, immediately following with a decision: "I'll take this one."

"Ah? Just this one? Don't want to try more, sir..." The saleswoman was somewhat stunned. Usually, she wished the customers who came in the store would be as decisive and straightforward as this, but now she felt a subtle reluctance.

No need to decide so quickly, take a look around, try a bit more...

Screaming in her heart like this, she didn't know what she should say, only able to carefully squeeze out a smile:

"And you can buy more, our store has a promotion now, a ten percent discount on buying two or more at once, for three pieces..."

"Oh really, that sounds good." Gu Mo nodded, pointing at the pile of clothes he had hung not far away, "Then wrap them all up for me, in the same size, two sets of each... no, three sets of each."

"Ah... oh oh, like, like this." The saleswoman almost failed to respond, her expression instantly turned quite peculiar.

Gu Mo looked curiously at the busy girl's back, isn't it said that this kind of job involves commission based on performance, the more sold, the better. Why does she look rather gloomier instead, could it be that I remembered wrong?

"Alright, sir, here is the total, with your discount applied, take a look... just like this, would you prefer to scan or use cash?"

Placing the large and small bags packaged on the counter, the saleswoman strived to maintain her smile, yet her heart couldn't help but grow restless, the feeling of reluctance becoming more intense, the more she looked at the other, the more a restless compulsion sprouted in her mind.

"Thank you."

Gu Mo glanced at the interactive options on the counter interface, his mind made the selection in less than a second, completed the payment, and then picked up his shopping bags and walked out the door.

Without much delay, he always felt this girl seemed to be acting a bit odd, and as time went on, the situation became increasingly apparent... Like she was absent-minded, constantly sneaking glances at him, her eyes holding a heat mixed with hesitation, as if deliberating whether to act on impulse.

He too felt slightly uneasy, so he chose to leave as soon as possible.

The saleswoman stared blankly at the disappearing figure outside the door, still gazing in a daze, repeatedly clenching and releasing her fists under the counter, her slender fingers tightening over and over. In fact, this kind of situation was somewhat peculiar, just she herself was unable to perceive it.

As if some soul-stealing enchanting allure, it wasn't particularly obvious at first, but it just unwittingly attracts people, then progressively matter over the silent infiltration, subconsciously wanting to get closer, a little closer...
