Yu Long stares at the large glass structure in front of him. His black eyes scanning over the smooth surface. So this is a mall.

"Mas- Yu Long! This way!" May points to the doors of the mall. Her bodyguards hidden among the crowds of people who had formed a circle around Yu Long.

They were currently harassing him by flashing their smartphones at him. Taking numerous pictures and posting them on various social media sites.

The Immortal felt nostalgic towards the attention, he had just recently received the same amount of oh's and ah's when he had first arrived. His eyes darkened when he notices the pesky cameras.

May, unaware of the incoming tragedies, continues to usher her Master into the mall. "Master, these are automatic doors. They use advanced technology to function." She points at the doors in question. 

Yu Long focuses his attention on the doors. If the doors had a conscious they would probably fail to work due to the handsome man staring intently at them. Yu Long nods and proceeds towards the doors, May trailing not far behind.

Once they enter the building, everyone who had their phone taken out immediately enters a state of despair. Every single one of their phones is broken as if a bomb exploded in their phone. 

The people can only regretfully sigh and believe that the Heavens must have wanted them to keep the cosplayer's beauty private. 

What type of logic is that? Yu Long shakes his head in confusion. The Heavens wouldn't make such a silly decision if anything they seem to want to spread my looks... 

He thought back to all those times random treasures would appear in front of him, or when great majestic spirit beasts would kowtow just to take him for a ride. He could only hope these situations wouldn't happen in present society. Imagining the awkwardness was already giving him a headache.

"So Master, what do you think about Emporium Mall?" May turns to the distracted Immortal.

Yu Long blinks. "What."

May smacks her forehead. Aiya! Shīfu, nǐ wèishéme zhèyàng duì wǒ? Nǐ wèishéme shì wǒ de zhǔrén? She silently asks herself.

"Mei Hua, did you forget I can read your mind and speak the same languages as you?" 

May looks at her Master with bleary eyes and begins to cry in the middle of the mall. "Master! Why? Wǒ xīwàng sǐ." She collapses on the ground and continues to bawl her eyes out.

Spectators gather around the pair. "Are they filming a drama? Must be."

A voice yells, "This reminds me of that one web novel where a handsome emperor from ancient times gets sucked through a wormhole and ends up finding his cultivator love interest in the future who became a CEO waiting for his return!"

The crowd nods their heads to the teen's statement until another voice pipes up. Many of them beginning to fetch their phones out to take selfies.

"But wasn't the CEO a male?"

The crowd shifts their eyes from the second girl who spoke to the female crying her eyes out on the floor. The gears in their brains slowly assimilating the information. Male emperor? Male CEO? Love? ROTTENS!

"Ehhhhhh?" The crowd enters a state of disarray. "BL? Then, why is it between a guy and a woman in this filming? Maybe it's a he crossdressing?"

May began to cry even more hysterically. You see a woman crying on the floor and your first thought is a web novel? Moreover, she's one-hundred percent female, stop trying to genderbend her! 

"I agree with you, these people must be blind if they think we fell for each other. Why would I ever lay my hands on a child?" Yu Long bluntly stated the truth.

May wanted to spit blood. "Yu Long, I'm going to the restroom. Here's some money now look around. Please don't get lost, Master." May quickly rushed away after sticking several bundles of hundred dollar bills into his hands.

"Oh, so he is a rental boyfriend!"

Rental boyfriend? Yu Long's brows furrowed a small frown visible. His attention turns to the bills in his hands. So cheap.  He recalled the days' emperors, empresses, sect leaders, other important figures, even beasts would kowtow at least ten times before presenting their treasures to him just for a single day of accompany.

Of course, being the great and benevolent Immortal he was, he rejected every one of them. After all, you can't expect him to want to play around with little kids. He wasn't a pedophile. 

Yu Long quickly spun around and headed in a random direction. 

He soon made his way to a food court. Sitting himself down elegantly in a corner, he took out the smartphone May had given him. He looked up, "Teenage fashion styles."
