The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Not long after Qing Tong left, the alluring waitress at the door brought Shen Yao food. Shen Yao casually gave her a small tip, and the waitress was overjoyed: "Oh my, Miss is so generous! What kind of wine would you like, Miss? Xing Gu will go and fetch it right away."

Shen Yao: "Give me a few bottles of what you think is good."

Xinggu's figure was alluring, and her voice was bright: "Our Drunken Beauty's best wine is made from the golden coral that grows near the Jiaoluo Secret Realm in the Jiaoluo Sea. Would you like to try it, young lady?"

Shen Yao was very interested in the wine produced near the Jiaoluo Secret Realm, but the Siren's wine had a strong aftereffect, and she couldn't control her level of intoxication; once drunk, she would easily fall asleep.

She hesitated for a moment, yet was eager to try it: "Is this Golden Coral Wine easy to get drunk on?"

Xinggu smiled, her pinky finger twitching: "Look at the question, young lady. We come to Zuihongyan to get drunk and forget everything."

Shen Yao quickly said, "No, thank you. Just give me a few bottles of whatever you like to drink."

Xinggu's mind worked like a whirlwind: "Hey, no other wine can compare to Golden Coral Wine. Don't worry, girl, it won't make you drunk. I'll go get it for you right now."

She ran off as soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Yao's response. She returned a short while later carrying a large wooden box: "Please enjoy, young lady. You won't get drunk."

She covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's alright if you get drunk, I'm here. Aunt Xing will take care of you, and we're all very safe, including Zui Hongyan."

Shen Yao opened the wooden box, inside were ten bottles of Golden Coral Wine. Each golden bottle was tied with a small section of golden coral branch, and the coral branch was also exuding the aroma of wine. The aroma was intoxicating and the flavor was refreshing.

Xinggu observed her expression: "Is the young lady satisfied?"

Shen Yao was satisfied: "Thank you, you can go back to your work."

Aunt Xing paused for a moment, then smiled and took her leave.

She walked back to the front door and just saw Qing Tong rushing in. Xing Gu's smile disappeared, and she grabbed Qing Tong and asked, "Where did you go? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on that girl?"

Qingtong pulled Xinggu aside: "Auntie, I'm coming to find you."

Xinggu: "Why are you coming to me if you're not going to serve the girl well?"

Qing Tong whispered, "Aunt, I need to go to the steward to redeem myself."

Xinggu's expression changed, and she tapped him on the head: "Are you crazy? Qingtong, you sold yourself for twenty-six dollars. Add the interest, and then factor in this year's expenses, and your redemption fee will be a full sixty dollars. Sixty dollars! How are you going to redeem yourself?"

Qing Tong held her hands down in front of her, touching the bracelet on her right hand: "The young lady gave me a hundred knives to redeem myself."

Xinggu's mouth opened into a circle.

She stared at Qing Tong for a long time, then patted his shoulder and exclaimed in a low voice, "Wow, Qing Tong! I didn't know you were so capable! How did you coax him? That was a hundred knives!"

Qing Tong lowered her head, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Xinggu looked worried: "She didn't want your body, but she gave you a hundred dollars?"

Qing Tong hummed in agreement.

Xinggu's tone turned serious: "If you don't understand, why don't you just say so?"

Qing Tong stammered, "No...no, that's not how the girl is...no..."

“Not that kind of patron?” Aunt Xing pointed to the front counter: “If you want to redeem yourself, you must lose your virginity before you can leave. Go get your token and go to the third floor to book a private room.”

Qing Tong hesitated, "Auntie, could you..."

Xinggu: "No! That's the rule."

The women in the "Drunken Beauty" club were all virgins who performed and drank with customers but did not sell their bodies. However, if a patron redeemed them, they had to give their bodies to the patron before they could leave.

This was done in two ways: firstly, to prevent patrons from denying their obligations, and secondly, to keep those popular courtesans in line, so they would think carefully before agreeing to be redeemed by their patrons.

After all, people come to Zui Hongyan to have fun. Their patrons are not loyal; you can support them for a while, but not forever.

The contracts for male prostitutes are all recorded. Once a prostitute has lost her virginity and left, she may want to come back, but Zui Hongyan will not take her in.

Zui Hongyan fed and cared for them well, taught them skills, didn't let them sell themselves, guaranteed their safety, and ensured they could work in the backyard when they got old, so they would have someone to rely on for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, most low-level cultivators who sell themselves to the Drunken Beauty will not leave easily, even if a patron is willing to pay a high ransom for them.

Seeing Qing Tong's conflicted expression, Xing Gu comforted her, "That girl is exceptionally kind, unlike any other guest cultivator. When I fetched wine for her, she even thanked me. Have you ever seen a guest thank us?"

"In terms of figure and appearance, that girl is truly outstanding, and she's so generous. The Ten Perfect Knife she gave you, after paying the ransom, is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. What more could you want?"

"No, no, Qingtong isn't dissatisfied," Qingtong hurriedly explained. "It's just that I don't think the young lady meant that; she's kind-hearted..."

Aunt Xing was furious at her lack of self-respect: "Are you stupid? You're kind-hearted, she won't abandon you after she gets tired of you. With such a powerful backer, why aren't you holding on tight? What are you thinking?"

She pulled Qingtong toward the counter: "Go quickly, get the name tag, book the room, tidy up, and bring the girl up."

On the fifth floor of the Drunken Beauty Hall, in the magnificent hall, Long Jiajia watched the white-clad young man carrying his zither as he retreated, still savoring the moment: "Zhao Lin's zither skills are becoming more and more beautiful, but it's a pity that his performances are entirely based on his mood. If he says he'll play a piece, he really will only play one piece."

She raised her cup to the golden-robed monk at the head of the table: "Brother Hua, you're too lenient with the male prostitutes in the brothel."

Young Master Hua clinked glasses with her from a distance: "He will be playing three pieces on the first floor today. If you haven't had enough, you can go down and listen."

"That's great." Long Jiajia drank it all in one gulp, put down the cup, stood up, and called to her second husband, "Brother Han, let's go downstairs and listen."

The young man in the floral dress sitting opposite him stood up as well: "I'm going too, Third Brother, are you coming?"

Young Master Hua stood up: "Let's go, I'll go have some fun with you."

This young man in colorful clothes is Hua Ying, the fifth young master of the Hua family. He was the yellow-clad young master who mocked Tu Xiaoxiao at Mingyue Pavilion on New Year's Eve, saying that he looked down on her tail.

They went downstairs and sat in a private room on the second floor.

Besides dance performances, there was also a puppet show on the first floor. Shen Yao enjoyed her food while watching the puppet show.

Hua Ying was watching the puppet show while leaning on the fence when he spotted Shen Yao. He quickly called out to Long Jiajia, "Jiajia, look, isn't that the girl from Ruyi Pavilion?"

Long Jiajia glanced over and saw a girl dressed in light gold clothes with a gold hairpin in her hair, eating earnestly in the corner diagonally opposite them on the first floor.

"It's Shen Yao." Long Jiajia asked in surprise, "Third Brother Hua, has Zui Hongyan turned into a restaurant?"

Young Master Hua glanced at it and said, "Occasionally, some customers will order a few dishes to go with their drinks at the restaurant next door, but it's rare to see someone order a whole table full of food like this... and even hot pot."

Hua Yingle said with delight, "She has quite an appetite; she can eat so much all by herself."

Long Jiajia observed silently, not seeing her father or husband, and inwardly scorned: 'Immortal cultivators are all hypocritical, acting so innocent while secretly running off to brothels.'

'Just as I suspected, a spoiled brat, not very reliable.'
