However, the conversations and jokes between these people also served as a warning for An Lin.

An Lin smiled and nodded at these passersby.

By the looks of it, the people here were fairly kindhearted.

Of course, the Sister Hong before him was an exception.

Anyhow, Sister Hong wasn’t annoyed in the least about being exposed by the passersby. It was as if she weren’t doing anything dodgy or uncouth. She continued to enthusiastically invite An Lin.

“Don’t listen to their nonsense. We do proper business here,” Sister Hong said as she looked at An Lin. She couldn’t help but become momentarily absentminded as she looked at him, even though she had observed so many people before.

Although An Lin wasn’t extremely handsome, there was an indescribable temperament behind his delicate and attractive appearance. This temperament mysteriously made her feel at ease and extremely comfortable.

What were the most important qualities in this day and age?

It was one’s temperament and disposition!

An Lin’s temperament meant that he could easily become a small drawcard.

In the Red Ink Tavern, attractive men were welcomed just as much as attractive women.

“Big Sister, those passersby have already told me what you do, so why are you still trying to drag me along? I’m not going to sell my body.” An Lin wore a serious expression as he rejected Sister Hong’s invitation.

“Aiyah, how can that be regarded as selling one’s body?” The beautiful woman waved her fan, causing her fragrance to waft over with the wind. “You’re simply going to fall in love at first sight with some female guests. You’ll then enjoy a happy conversation with them, and your emotions will get the better of you and lead to a hot and steamy time. Afterward, they’ll express disapproval at your performance and give you a small fee to break up. That’s all.”

An Lin was infuriated upon hearing this. “You’re actually saying such inhumane things?!

“What do you mean they express disapproval at my performance?!

“Show some respect!”

Sister Hong’s smile grew even wider, and she said, “Aiyah, you say that you’re competent, but where’s the proof? Why don’t you come to the Red Ink Tavern and find a fated partner to prove yourself?”

“So this was a trap too?” An Lin grimaced in anger and said, “Well, it’s a shame that goading me won’t work…”

In this world, only the system had the ability to threaten his weenie!

Similarly, only the system had the right to question his weenie.

Others didn’t have the ability or right!

“Little Brother, you’re really not going to consider this invitation? You can receive the best treatment and development at the Red Ink Tavern. Moreover, we do much more than just talking about relationships and love. In fact, we also have a lot of artists at the Red Ink Tavern. Artists, do you understand?

“Also, you have to realize that the Red Ink Tavern also hosts one of the most renowned libraries and art collections of the entire Tai Chu Holy Land. Here, you can obtain invaluable knowledge and also experience as well as learn the most impressive culture and arts.

“The lads and ladies inside are all extremely knowledgeable and sweet, and they handle affairs in an impeccable manner. This is definitely heaven on earth…” Sister Hong continued to entice An Lin.

An Lin had initially been angry, but he immediately changed his mind and nodded in agreement upon hearing about the library inside the Red Ink Tavern.

Moreover, the so-called Tai Chu Holy Land was most likely referring to this world inside the light barrier. Right now, An Lin was at a complete loss regarding what the Heavenly Light Goddess wanted to do and how she was going to do it. All he knew was that she was probably going to cause a ruckus here. As such, furthering his understanding of this place would perhaps allow him to discover some clues.

“Aiyah, I knew that little brother was a wise person who yearned for a beauty!” Sister Hong was extremely happy as she grabbed An Lin’s hands and led him toward the Red Ink Tavern.

“Oh, that’s right. I haven’t asked for your name yet, Little Brother.”

“You can call me Liu Dabao.”

“Oh, so it’s Brother Dabao! What an adorable name!”

“The others all say that as well.”

The Red Ink Tavern was located in the central area of the eighth region, and it was a giant red wooden pagoda that was ninety-nine stories tall. This was a magnificent pagoda that was decorated with carvings and paintings of dragons and phoenixes. Each corner of the pagoda was decorated with a carving of a different style, yet these carvings were such that they flawlessly fit in with each other. This could be regarded as the pinnacle of architecture.

An Lin had initially thought that the Red Ink Tavern was merely a place for romance and love—in other words, a lowly brothel. However, his impressions of the Red Ink Tavern immediately changed when he saw the magnificent structure before him.

This pagoda clearly exuded an aura of impressiveness!

When An Lin reached the entrance of the Red Ink Tavern, he discovered that it wasn’t only humans who frequented this place. Beings of other species were also keen guests of this place. By the looks of it, all kinds of different beings enjoyed visiting the Red Ink Tavern.

In fact, An Lin also discovered another interesting fact. Many of the customers appeared exhausted and depressed when they entered the Red Ink Tavern, yet when they left, most of them were full of vigor and vitality. It was as if they had reached the pinnacle stage of their life.

Perhaps the Red Ink Tavern held something that was extremely beneficial to these beings?

An Lin entered the lively and bustling Red Ink Tavern.

Upon entering, he was immediately greeted by the sound of pleasant singing.

This voice seemingly possessed the ability to cleanse one’s soul and allow one to transcend.

Countless beings who had entered the Red Ink Tavern wore an expression of immense joy and pleasure as they listened to this singing. However, An Lin was already used to hearing immortal music, so he didn’t think much of this singing. However, he still forced himself to smile in joy and pleasure.

“Does it sound good? This is a drawcard of the Red Ink Tavern. What you’re hearing now is a song sung by Liu Qin, one of the top singers of the Red Ink Tavern. In fact, she’s the best singer of the Light Wing Clan. However, she only sells her talent and not her body.”

As she said this, Sister Hong turned her beautiful eyes toward An Lin and continued, “Do you aspire to be like her? Well, it’s not impossible for you to reach that level. However, you need to have a talent.”

An Lin smiled and remained silent. To say nothing of one talent, he had already mastered wielding eighteen types of different weapons. After reaching his current cultivation base, doing everything had become simple.

“Sister Hong, I do indeed have a talent,” An Lin said with a smile.

Sister Hong’s interest was piqued, and she said, “Oh? Do tell me.”

The man before her was already worthy of becoming a small drawcard just based on his disposition alone.

If he possessed an attractive talent, then there would be no issue raising him to be a main drawcard of the Red Ink Tavern.

“I’m talented in cooking,” An Lin said proudly.

Sister Hong: “???

“We… have enough chefs in our kitchens…” Sister Hong finally said after being dazed for a long while.

“What, are you looking down on chefs? I’m…”

“Okay, okay, Sister Hong will take you over to conduct a body checkup first.”

An Lin was cut off and dragged away by Sister Hong before he could even finish his sentence.

Completing a body checkup was a rule of the Red Ink Tavern, and it could be regarded as a way to investigate one’s identity. All new members of the Red Ink Tavern were subject to this rule.

An Lin had even tricked heaven and earth, so dealing with such a minor checkup was naturally as easy as could be. He simply disguised himself as an ordinary person who had lost their memories. This allowed him to successfully pass the checkup.

Afterward, he spent an hour mingling and becoming familiar with his fellow brothers and sisters of the Red Ink Tavern.

After a while, Sister Hong smiled and said, “Ying Bao, take him around and introduce him to the Red Ink Tavern. Afterward, he’ll learn how to receive and entertain the guests.”

“Let’s go, Brother Dabao.” Ying Bao was a short and petite young woman with pale and delicate skin. She grabbed onto An Lin’s hands and happily led him around the Red Ink Tavern.

The Red Ink Tavern had ninety-nine floors, sixty-six of which were open to the public. Beings of all species could enjoy themselves on these floors. However, the remaining thirty-three floors were closed to the public. Those were the living quarters as well as the storage rooms for various books and artworks.

An Lin could also be regarded as a member of the Red Ink Tavern now, so he could naturally wander around the sixty-six floors that were open to the public. Meanwhile, Ying Bao was extremely diligent as she introduced everything to An Lin.

She had a nagging feeling that An Lin possessed an aura that she especially liked and yearned for. This caused her to involuntarily become closer with An Lin.

It wasn’t long before An Lin finally arrived before the library of the Red Ink Tavern.

This library spanned all the way from the ninety-first floor to the ninety-ninth floor.

Moreover, this library was called the Library of Heavenly Books!
