I Was Really in More of a Hurry

Standing before the Thousand Dreams Pavilion, a group of people looked at each other, their faces filled with helplessness, solemnity, and endless regret.

There's nothing I can do. Although Thousand Dreams Pavilion is a place to find warmth and love in the dead of night, and it can fill your emptiness and loneliness.

But it's really too late now. Even places like this have opening hours.

Converted to modern time, from 3 a. m. to 9 a. m., Thousand Dreams Pavilion does not accept guests; it's the kind of place where people only leave and never come in.

After all, it's already 3 a. m., and those who wanted to stay overnight at the Land of Gentle Tenderness have already done so. There are basically no customers left, and opening the door to take in customers would disturb the Seafood Market staff and keep them from sleeping.

Even seafood vendors need to sleep.

So, seeing the grand entrance of the Thousand Dreams Pavilion, everyone had no choice but to disperse. They would come back tomorrow. Generally, once these dreamers felt safe, they wouldn't leave for the time being.

As for sneaking in?

If you're confident you won't be discovered, then it's fine, but if you are, then you're dead.

Jiang Lin, Zhen Xian, and Tian Fang remained standing in the cold wind.

Well, Jiang Lin wanted to sneak in, but Zhen Xian was by his side.

Most importantly, Zhen Xian knew that he was already married, and he also knew about his past relationship with Senior Sister Lin.

If Zhen Xian finds out that I went to a brothel, and then Zhen Xian lets it slip, wouldn't I be finished?

Moreover, he has always presented himself as a devoted family man.

How could a good man like myself go to a brothel? That doesn't fit my image at all!

As for Zhen Xian, he became even more conflicted.

Going to a brothel?

Just kidding! I, Zhen Xian, have never been to a brothel since I was a child! Not to mention, I, Zhen Xian, am a Confucian scholar, even though I may have already been expelled from the academy.

But I was born a Confucian, and I will die a Confucian. So what if I, Zhen Xian, am expelled from the Confucian tradition?

If word gets out, wouldn't that be a disgrace to Confucianism?

So how could I possibly go to a brothel?

As for Zheng...

He simply stared at the tightly closed doors of the Thousand Dreams Pavilion, his expression calm, though it was impossible to tell what he was actually thinking.

"Brother Jiang, it seems that this romantic encounter is indeed not meant for me tonight. As Confucian Disciple, I am unable to enter this place of pleasure to help you. Please forgive me, Brother Jiang Brother Jiang."

Zhen Xian turned around and bowed to Jiang Lin.

"Brother Zhen, you flatter me. I, Jiang Lin, am already married. How could I frequent such places of pleasure? It is not in accordance with my conscience," Jiang Lin replied in return.

Zhen Xian frowned upon hearing this.

Brother Jiang, weren't you Flower-Picking Thief by trade? This doesn't fit your true nature at all.

But Zhen Xian quickly understood! So Brother Jiang was afraid he would tell others. Wow, Brother Jiang is henpecked.

However, Zhen Xian couldn't say it outright.

"Brother Jiang is indeed a good man; he has always been devoted to his lover."

"Haha, Brother Zhen is truly a man of noble character; his 'self-discipline in solitude' is truly admirable."

"Brother Jiang, you flatter me. Let's have another drink another day."

"Okay, I'll go check if there are any other dreams."

Zhen Xian: "It seems we should first congratulate this brother. May you obtain your dream's destiny."

"Heh! Going to such a filthy place will only soil your shoes."

Having said that, Tian Fang flicked his long sleeves and strode away.

Watching the handsome young man Tian Fang, leave, the two of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. Then, they bowed to each other, exchanged pleasantries, and turned to leave.

Back at the inn, Jiang Lin took a shower and then went straight to sleep.

Similarly, Zhen Xian returned to his courtyard, drank a cup of goji berry tea, and then lay down peacefully.

As for Tian Fang, he returned to the inn, gently pulled the blanket up for Shiori, propped himself up on the headboard, closed his eyes, and began to refine his spirit.

Early the next morning...

"Master, Senior Sister, Jiu Yi, Little Jia, believe me, I really just went to gather information."

After silently repeating it to himself, Jiang Lin got up at eight o'clock in the morning, brushed his teeth, and then ate breakfast.

After carefully tidying his clothes, he placed Jiu Yi into the One Ring, then strode towards the Thousand Dreams Pavilion to continue his journey of listening to music in the brothel...

In a small courtyard, Zhen Xian got up, touched the Ink Plate in his arms, and then quietly cast Isolation Array.

After cutting off the red-clad woman in the Ink Plate from all external senses, Zhen Xian put the Ink Plate in his pocket and closed the courtyard gate.

Also in an inn, Zheng enveloped the sleeping girl in his Spiritual Power, putting her into a deep sleep before placing her in his arms. Then, he composed himself and walked out.

"Young Master Cannon, you've arrived~~~~"

"Pao Ge ~~~ I've missed you so much."

"Pao Ge, why are you here so early today?"

As soon as Jiang Lin stepped into the Thousand Dreams Pavilion, the three pig demon girls charged at him like tanks. Jiang Lin dodged to the side as usual, causing them to miss their target.

"Ugh, Pao Ge ~~~ I hate you~~~"

"Pao Ge, why have you been avoiding him all this time?!"

Even though Jiang Lin usually avoids them, they remain very enthusiastic, demonstrating the best hospitality qualities in the service industry!

After all, Pao Ge seems to be a novice, so it's normal for him to be shy~~~

"Ladies, I actually have something to do today," Jiang Lin said, bowing slightly.

Pig One Girl: "Oh? Young master, are you also here to seek your destiny?"

Jiang Lin: "Eh? You know, young lady?"

Pig Two Girl: "That's right, there were so many guests this morning, they're all here to seek Dream's Fate."

Pig Three Girl: "Pao Ge, don't be in such a hurry. Meng Yuan is hardest to find during the day and easiest at night. Now is the time for you to drink with me."

"... No, this... I'm really in a hurry." Jiang Lin planned to go upstairs to find Bai Qianluo; with her help, things would definitely be easier.

"Hey, Pao Ge, what's the rush? Let's drink."

"No! I really won't drink today..."

"Pao Ge ~~~~"

"I really... um???"

Suddenly, Jiang Lin was startled!

"Young Master Zhen, how annoying~~~"

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. Just keep the three ladies company, it's all on me today!"

Just as Jiang Lin was being tugged at by the third pig demon girl, a charming shout and a familiar voice came from not far away.

Jiang Lin turned his head to look, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

At the same time, feeling Jiang Lin's gaze meet his, Zhen Xian was also dumbfounded, and the wine glass slipped from his hand...

"Oh, handsome young man, which lady are you looking for?"

"Let your most beautiful Luo Xue come and drink with me!"

At the same time, the madam's voice came from the doorway.

Jiang Lin and Zhen Xian also turned their heads mechanically.

For a time...

He has a virtuous wife Jiang Dapao.

The virtuous and principled Zhen is very free.

This place is too dirty and desolate.

The two humans and the demon stood frozen in place...
