Chapter 2045: A Heart Unmoved by Wind and Moon | Red Heart Survey [Translation]

Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on May 2, 2025

Random recommendation:

Qing Yu is a strange… fellow, right?

It’s the same in the Mo School. One is a genius mechanism girl, the maintainer of the “Ming Ghost” puppet. One is the true successor of the Mo family, one of the managers of the Tianji Building. According to Qing Yu, they are non-blood related siblings, both orphans, sharing a common plight.

But Qing Yu is willing to move mountains and seas for Xiu Yu, while Xiu Yu acts so distant. The situation is quite intriguing.

Jiang Wang looks at Xiu Yu’s back, as if lost in thought.

Bei Gong Ke stands some distance away and doesn’t approach.

He seems to be still reeling from the moment Jiang Wang initially put a gun to his throat and then released him.

He intentionally avoids Jiang Wang’s line of sight, waiting until Xiu Yu finishes her “communication,” then steps forward to greet her and they sit down together.

Zhuang and Yong are clearly divided, with Lock Dragon Pass and Yin Ge City serving as the boundary.

In the Dragon Palace, Lin Zheng Ren and Bei Gong Ke also try not to sit close, feeling disgusted upon seeing each other.

Instead, they don’t engage in mutual provocation or fighting. After all, the Dragon Palace is full of talents today, and it’s not their turn to cause a stir. Of course, if Xiu Yu were willing to step forward, that would be another story.

Actually, Lin Zheng Ren sitting here today is similar to the awkward situation Zhuang Country is in.

Zhuang Country’s calculations at the Yellow River Meeting could be considered a complete falling out with Sheng Country. Lin Zheng Ren can still sit and chat with Sheng Xue Huai today, firstly because Sheng Country was badly beaten by Mu Country, and secondly because Sheng Xue Huai himself has excellent cultivation.

Something truly happened with Lin Zheng Ren; he is walking on thin ice.

Zhuang Country risked a falling out with Sheng Country naturally to gain more resources, but because Lin Zheng Ren avoided fighting Jiang Wang at the crucial moment, they gained nothing at the Yellow River Meeting. For Lin Zheng Ren himself, it was about preserving his life and avoiding risk; for Zhuang Country, it was a case of losing both wife and soldiers!

Not only have they been hostile to Sheng Country ever since, but it also led to Jing Heavenly Emperor’s dissatisfaction.

Plus, later on, the matter of slandering Jiang Wang for communicating with demons directly led to the decline in the Mirror World Platform’s credibility…

Zhuang Country can still openly return to the category of Dao-affiliated countries today, still gain some resources from the Dao gate, and even receive support from Jade Capital Mountain. In the previous period, Lin Zheng Ren was even sent as an envoy to various countries to promote exchange among Dao-affiliated countries!

This is simply somewhat inconceivable.

Merely using the long sleeves and skillful diplomacy of the Zhuang Country’s monarch and ministers, or saying the Dao-affiliated countries advance together, is not enough to explain the development of events. Zhuang Country’s wise monarch and ministers are simply like they saved the Jade Capital Mountain headmaster’s life.

But no matter what, the Dao pulse as a whole is ultimately aligned with Jing Country’s will. And Jing Country’s support for Zhuang Country is increasingly reserved.

Just as Lin Zheng Ren, although rising step by step within Zhuang Country, has actually been envied by the country’s prime minister for a long time and has never been fully trusted by Zhuang Heavenly Emperor.

Meanwhile, Yong Country, starting from the current monarch Han Xu’s political reforms, has firmly allied itself with the Mo family and received their all-around support. Xiu Yu coming to the banquet with Bei Gong Ke today is a manifestation of this.

Clear-eyed people looking at Zhuang and Yong today see the former “revival with declining momentum” and the latter “cutting out deep illness and surging with new blood.”

However, with the abilities of Zhuang Gao Xian and Du Ru Hui there, people dare not jump to conclusions. After all, after Zhuang Cheng Qian’s death that year, Zhuang Country was not optimistic, yet today they can counter-invade Yong territory. The future is still unknown.

Still unknown!

“Ginger Immortal.” Huang She Li suddenly said: “This Lin Zheng Ren looks very annoying, doesn’t he?”

Jiang Wang said without changing expression: “Why do you say so?”

“Because you hate him, so I also hate him.” Huang She Li’s expression is serious, very much like the kind of man who just walked out of a brothel on one foot and immediately starts describing himself as pure and single-minded on the other: “I might not be like this to everyone.”

Ye Qing Yu coughed.

Jiang Wang said: “Huang girl is mistaken. I have no feelings towards Lin Zheng Ren. He’s not worth liking or hating.”

Huang She Li didn’t mind: “How about we make a deal?”

“What deal?” Jiang Wang remained alert.

“Don’t be so nervous, okay?” Huang She Li chuckled: “Everyone has a heart for beauty, but everyone’s way of paying for beauty is different. For example, Qing Yu girl is willing to spend money for you, and I am willing to spend a fist for you.”

“You are too kind!” Jiang Wang said: “I have fists myself.”

Jing Li, in the back row, leaned forward, pinching his fist and shaking it: “I have them too.”

Looking at this bald head, which had a clear and handsome look, Huang She Li didn’t argue with him and continued to speak to Jiang Wang: “At the Yellow River Meeting, you scared everyone so much they didn’t dare to go on stage, and you can still say you don’t hate him? I completely understand, perhaps due to some reason, you need to temporarily endure. But this girl is very willing to help you vent this anger… as long as you promise me a small request.”

Jiang Wang didn’t bother to listen to her request, only faintly smiled: “Jing Country interfered in the war of Jing Country’s westward expansion and protected the alliance of the five northwestern countries. It’s also a very reasonable thing for Jing Country to want to suppress a bit of Jing Country’s presence on the western border. In principle, no matter what Huang girl plans to do to Lin Zheng Ren, I will not interfere, but if Huang girl wants to use the banner of hitting him to vent my anger… perhaps we need to discuss the matter of a ‘borrowing name’ fee.”

Huang She Li gasped, blinked her eyes, and finally sat back, holding her forehead with a headache: “You, this beauty, once you start thinking, your sexiness declines in a straight line… you weren’t like this in Mu Country—”

Halfway through her words, she suddenly stood up. Her head no longer hurt, and her face was smiling. She strode towards the palace gate, both surprised and joyful: “Night Sister!”

Just like a bright pearl entering the room, the entire hall lit up.

The person entering the hall at this time was indeed Night Lan Er, who held the title of “Great Chu’s number one beauty.”

If Ye Qing Yu is “immortal posture” and Li Feng Yao is “snowy face,” Night Lan Er is the limit of creation in terms of exquisite features, which can be called “flawless,” beautiful without a single blemish.

Initially, at the Yellow River Meeting, besides Jiang Wang and Li Yi, some busybodies also evaluated a beauty champion, and the person named was indeed Night Lan Er.

For such a beauty, Huang She Li naturally wouldn’t miss out.

Initially, they had already connected several times at View River Platform. Later, Three Points Fragrance Building changed its operating strategy, gradually detached from Chu Country, and began to focus on transferring to some hegemonic countries, including Qi Country. By the time it developed to Jing Country, Huang She Li had greatly helped several times, winning the highest level of treatment at Three Points Fragrance Building and also winning Night Lan Er’s friendship.

These two met now, immediately holding hands and chatting idly.

Finally, there was an understanding beauty who could see through her vulnerability, giving her warmth and gentleness.

The two beauties talked and laughed together, touching each other’s small hands and teasing each other’s beautiful hair, making people greatly feast their eyes.

Everyone else in the hall took the opportunity to look at the beauties.

Jiang Wang then took the opportunity to explain to Ye Qing Yu: “Huang girl and I were business partners in Mu Country, selling tickets for my single fight with Dou Zhao. Her family has shares in the fighting arena over there. I thought since I was going to fight anyway, I might as well earn a little…”

Ye Qing Yu was very satisfied that his eyes were not looking sideways at this moment, and at the same time, she keenly asked: “How did you divide it?”

Jiang Wang said: “She and I split it fifty-fifty.”

Ye Qing Yu smiled: “Reasonable.”

Although she didn’t have much contact with mundane matters, after all, she grew up in the Cloud Upper Country which was involved in commerce all over the world, and she still had her own insights into various commercial models. Hearing this, she knew that this division between Jiang Wang and Huang She Li was fair to both parties, belonging to doing business for business’s sake.

On that side, the two beauties had also started chatting freely, and the smile on Huang She Li’s face became increasingly radiant. She diligently pointed the way for Night Lan Er: “Night Sister, you Chu people sit over there.”

Night Lan Er shook her head.

Huang She Li’s smile was brilliant: “Of course, if Night Sister wants to sit with me, I am very welcome.”

Night Lan Er showed a standard smile that conformed to the perfect definition, and said with clear words and round tone: “I am here today representing Three Points Fragrance Building.”

The large hall, which was just noisy, suddenly became quiet.

With the listeners all silent, they then successively looked towards the Chu people in the hall.

Night Lan Er’s sentence at the Dragon Palace Banquet today can be said to be the most earth-shattering sentence at the Dragon Palace Banquet so far. Its profound significance is far beyond Dou Zhao’s provocation of the entire hall.

A very interesting fact is that Three Points Fragrance Building is the commercial organization with the most branches and the widest coverage in the world.

Compared to Cloud Think Studio, which also originated from Chu Country and is popular all over the world, specializing in clothing, its scope is much larger.

The aesthetics of clothing vary greatly in different places in the world.

However, Three Points Fragrance Building’s services can gain consistent recognition from people all over the world.

Initially, even a small Maple Forest City had a branch of Three Points Fragrance Building. Three Points Fragrance Building had not yet advanced eastward, but its branch building in Linzi was already second only to the four great famous pavilions. The Too Virtual Corner Building in Tianfu City was just established, and Three Points Fragrance Building’s branch followed suit…

Such an organization has long maintained neutrality, only doing business and not getting involved in the situation.

Its headquarters is in Chu Country, and it is naturally not without Chu Country’s support behind it. But it is also difficult to completely shake off Chu Country’s influence.

And today, Night Lan Er, who once represented Chu Country in the Yellow River Meeting, publicly stated that she is here to participate in the Dragon Palace Banquet representing Three Points Fragrance Building.

This is no different from publicly declaring to the whole world that Three Points Fragrance Building will peel away from Chu Country, and from now on, it will exist as an independent, formal, and powerful force with extraordinary martial power!

It can no longer be simply viewed as a brothel.

Instead, it will be ranked among the great sects in the world.

Brothels will only be the outer layer of Three Points Fragrance Building’s business from now on. The core of Three Points Fragrance Building will enter the world of wind and clouds!

For many years, Three Points Fragrance Building has been operating discreetly, and from today onwards, it will gradually surface.

What kind of scheme does that elusive Three Points Fragrance Building building master, who claims to be “the most beautiful in the world,” have, and what kind of shock will it bring to this world?

Many people are very much looking forward to it.

At this time, Dou Zhao, who had already brazenly finished a plate of rare fruits, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and casually threw it on the food case. Only then did he lightly lift his eyes and look at Night Lan Er: “You are representing Three Points Fragrance Building today?”

His voice was very light, but his momentum was very heavy.

“Is Three Points Fragrance Building prepared?” he asked like this.

Once upon a time at View River Platform, they represented Chu Country and fought together.

Today, they have each occupied their own side.

Once upon a time, Night Lan Er was in the Shen Lin realm, and Dou Zhao was in the Outer Building realm.

Now, their cultivation is also the same today. Night Lan Er is a heaven’s proud son who doesn’t need to fear anyone.

But Dou Zhao’s question represents the Great Chu Guard Country Duke Manor, representing Chu Country!

It is very obvious that Dou Zhao did not know that Three Points Fragrance Building chose to formally declare independence at the Dragon Palace Banquet, and neither did Chu Country. Then, for this “not knowing,” and for the anger derived from this not knowing, what price is Three Points Fragrance Building from top to bottom… planning to pay?

Qu Shun Hua was once on good terms with Night Lan Er, but now he doesn’t say a word, indicating his position with silence.

Night Lan Er naturally won’t talk to her former friend again, only responding to Dou Zhao’s question with a beautiful smile: “Three Points Fragrance Building is always preparing. It has been preparing for many years.”

“You’re playing that trick of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs in Great Chu with me? Your noble building really has guts!” Dou Zhao laughed: “Chu people love romance, so you have Three Points Fragrance Building. The Heavenly Emperor is benevolent, so you are increasingly free. But when the Chu people take back the knives and swords hidden under the splendid clothes of tolerance, you will discover that no matter how long you prepare, your preparation is always not enough!”

“Don’t be so short-tempered, Young Master Dou? Everything in Chu land belongs to Chu. We only seek autonomy outside Chu land.” Night Lan Er leisurely said: “For many years, the tax contributed by Three Points Fragrance Building in Chu Country has been second to none, right? You say borrowing a chicken to lay eggs. The eggs laid and the chickens hatched over so many years have all stayed in Chu Country. But for that little chicken that broke out of its shell and flew far away, Chu Country wouldn’t be so barbaric as to chase it back, would it?”

Since Three Points Fragrance Building wants to shake off Chu Country’s influence and announce its independence today, all its operations in Chu Country will naturally become uncertain. Night Lan Er generously saying that everything belongs to Chu is naturally just cheap talk.

Dou Zhao still showed no annoyance, just lifted his eyes, without any concealment of killing intent: “That depends on whether… you can fly away.”

Night Lan Er at this time took half a step back, looking quite distressed, making people feel pity. Her beautiful eyes were full of light, and she said pitifully to Huang She Li: “These Chu Country people are too fierce. Sister She Li, you must protect your good sister.”

Long Bo Ji couldn’t help but look towards Zhong Shan Wei Sun, planning to see how he would stop Huang She Li from being captivated by beauty. Zhong Shan Wei Sun, however, was calm and composed, seemingly not bothered at all.

He turned his head back again.

Huang She Li had already calmly let go of Night Lan Er’s hand, and chuckled: “Night girl, we only talk about wind and moon, nothing else. If we get too involved, the two of us won’t be pure anymore. Don’t you think so?”

Long Bo Ji couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder. This Huang She Li woman truly has the style of being “heartless in all matters of wind and moon”! Even the most seasoned philanders can’t compare.

Night Lan Er complained with resentment and annoyance: “Sister She Li, you’re really unreliable at the critical moment.”

Huang She Li slightly nodded, accepting these words as praise.

“Hee hee, words of love by the pillow, drunken words in the pot. We just listen and forget, don’t take it seriously!”

She lifted her yellow robe and took large strides, widening the distance even further.

Beauty is beauty, but trying to play mind games with Huang girl is absolutely not possible.

There are so many beauties in the world, how can I be stuck on one tree?

If Night Lan Er had revealed Three Points Fragrance Building’s plan earlier, and offered enough chips to strive for Jing Country’s support, she, Huang She Li, wouldn’t have been unable to consider blocking Dou Zhao’s Heaven-Punishing Saber.

But you didn’t mention this matter when you were being affectionate, only talking about romance under the flowers and moon. When things came to a head, you suddenly wanted me to protect you, and in front of the Chu Country people… Sorry, we are just acting on occasion, that’s all!

Night Lan Er’s beautiful eyes turned, following the direction of Huang She Li’s large steps, and looked towards Jiang Wang sitting in the corner—to be precise, she was looking at that one firm profile that didn’t turn away.

Her voice was mournful and soft, making people can’t help but feel love and pity: “Young Master Jiang, you are a person of integrity in this world. This concubine doesn’t trust others, but trusts you. You won’t ignore me, will you…”

Jiang Wang only pretended not to hear.

Night Lan Er simply raised her voice: “Jiang Qing Yang, are you pretending not to know me?!”

Thanks to book friend “One Political Economy Say” for becoming the alliance master of this book, which is the 481st alliance of Red Heart Patrol Heaven!
