Chapter 795 - The February Spring Breeze is Cold
What happens in Chapter 795 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky"? If Jiang Wang knew that the leader of the nine major demons was now living... Read on to find out!
If Jiang Wang knew that the leader of the nine major demons was now living in seclusion in the Valley of No Return in Chen Country,perhaps he would have had more thoughts about the demonsâ attack on the Qingyun Pavilion and the chaos in Shunâan Mansion, but he had no idea.
Therefore, he couldnât feel any variables that might occur in Yong Countryâs campaign against the Reef Kingdom.
In his view, the destruction of the Reef Kingdom was almost a certainty.
Not only was Jiang Wang unaware that the first demon resided in the Valley of No Return.
The folks of Yong Country were also completely in the dark.
Baron Yao Qi, who was in charge of handling the destruction of the Qingyun Pavilion, had tentatively classified the incident as the nine demons coveting some ancient legacy of the Qingyun Pavilion, and launching a surprise attack while the Lord of Weining was away from Shunâan Mansion.
After finding Feng Ming and learning information about the âBlood of Balanceâ, Yao Qi was even more certain of this conjecture.
However, if the nine demons had some kind of tacit understanding with Chen Country, then the power of Chen Country should not be overlooked.
Of course, all these matters were currently unrelated to Jiang Wang.
At this moment, sitting in a high-end tavern in He Country, he had only some inexplicably mixed feelings.
For instance, the original Temple of the Celestial Gods seemed to have quite relaxed rules; priests could indulge in drinking and visit brothels.
Compared to that, being a monk was a little too harshâŚ
The name âThree Parts Fragrance Towerâ also made him dazed for a moment.
It reminded him of the days when he had joyous drinks with Zhao Rucheng, Du Yehu, and others, and ofâŚ
that hint of a red shadow.
He could easily have cut these random thoughts off, but before embarking on this journey once again, he allowed himself a brief indulgence.
The immense pressure he had always borne was unimaginable to ordinary people.
He had hardly ever given himself time to relax; perhaps it was the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere of He Country that silently influenced him.
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to go and take a look at the Three Parts Fragrance Tower here.
So he got up and went to check out the local Three Parts Fragrance Tower.
Lifting the heavy curtain of the tavern, he faced a gust of cold wind.
Closing his eyes, he savored it for a moment before continuing on his way.
Head held high, straight spine, hand on sword, his steps were firm.
The February spring breeze still carried a chill, feeling like frost when blowing head-on.
The Three Parts Fragrance Tower was indeed established all over the world, not merely an empty boast.
In Fenglin City of Zhuang Country, which was already destroyed, there used to be a Three Parts Fragrance Tower, the foremost in romantic encounters.
Even in the mighty Linyi City, there was a Three Parts Fragrance Tower, ranking just below the four famed establishments.
Spanning tens of thousands of miles from west to east, the presence of the Three Parts Fragrance Tower was everywhere, an astounding level of coverage.
It was in itself a massive force, and if consolidated, it would be powerful enough to rival any sect in the world.
But Jiang Wang knew that all Three Parts Fragrance Towers across the world shared one basic principleâdo not involve the transcendent.
Just like the four famed establishments of Qi Country, each backed by powerful figures.
These establishments also had transcendent martial forces stationed.
However, the Three Parts Fragrance Tower never had transcendent cultivators stepping to the forefront.
They never tangled in the local politics of their locations, always focusing solely on the âpureâ brothel business.
This was the foundation that allowed the Three Parts Fragrance Tower to expand rapidly and establish branches all over the world.
People knew that the unseen part of the Three Parts Fragrance Tower was undoubtedly formidable, but nobody knew just how powerful it was.
Or perhaps this uncertainty was also a self-preserving tactic, making others unable to gauge the depth and therefore afraid to rashly interfere.
Of course, the so-called âworldwideâ Three Parts Fragrance Tower had not been without obstacles.
At least in the Northern Territory, not a single branch of the Three Parts Fragrance Tower could be found.
It was said that the owner of the Three Parts Fragrance Tower had offended some major figure in Mugu, resulting in its exclusion from the entire Northern Territory.
The rumorâs authenticity was unknown, but the fact that the Three Parts Fragrance Tower stopped outside the Northern Territory was indeed true.
The Three Parts Fragrance Tower in He Country was only three stories high, likely to comply with the local architectural style.
Its pavilions were interconnected, covering a vast area.
The heated floors were extremely warm, with an air redolent of subtle, not overpowering, makeup fragrance.
On the inside, it felt more like spring than on the outside.
In the enthusiastic welcome of the old madam, Jiang Wang casually said, âI want a quiet seat, with fine wine, and Iâd like to listen to a good voice.â
The old madamâs smile was beaming, certainly not because of Jiang Wangâs looks or wealth.
No matter who it was, she could always smile so brightly: âPlease come this way, young master!â
No matter the age, she could always call out âyoung master.â
Countless have rested on her jade-like arms, and thousands have tasted her red lips.
Jiang Wang, of course, would not take the passion of the brothel to heart.
He hadnât come for carnal pleasures, and there was no need to head to the private chambers.
He settled in an elegant seat, separated by a plum blossom screen, and listened to the clear and melodious voices singing not far away.
He let memories surface little by little.
Ru Cheng was the one who frequented these places the most.
But Jiang Wang knew that Zhao Rucheng didnât actually like it.
Warm fragrance and soft jade, beautiful women like flowers, Zhao Rucheng had seen too much, had grown tired of them.
With just one glimpse of his face, numerous young ladies and wives would scramble to throw themselves at him; he had never been intoxicated by any land of tenderness.
He simply sought to numb himself, seeking a vague sense of self-contentment within the numbness of daily routine.
The fine wine was brought up, served by a girl with a gentle temperament.
Jiang Wang waved his hand, took the wine jug himself, and turned over the cups, filling two.
He pushed one cup in front of the girl with his index finger.
âPlease have a drink,â
he said, âLetâs enjoy our drinks separately.â
The girl didnât seem surprised; brothels were places where all walks of life came together.
Those seeking pleasure, unsightly faces, all kinds of peculiar charactersâŚ
too numerous to count.
âIf the young master has any requests, please let me know.â
After all, the customer who pays is king, and their wishes were her command.
She took a small sip and then sat quietly to the side, listening to the performance as well.
Jiang Wang didnât pay her any attention, first drinking a cup himself, then pouring another.
He had only filled the cup halfway when someone reeking of alcohol squeezed over.
Bang!
Hands braced on the desk, the man looked down at Jiang Wang.
âEh, this gentleman, youâŚâ the serving girl stood to intervene.
But she was stopped by a firm hand from the newcomer.
Seeing the jade at his waist, the serving girl sat back down without a word.
Jiang Wang continued pouring his drink, only lifting his eyes gently when the cup was nearly full.
He recognized the newcomer as the young man from the previous tavern, who appeared to be a former deity from the temple.
This time, the man in martial attire who had been with him was not by his side.
âShouldnât you be offering me a drink, having a friend come from afar?â he asked Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang filled his own cup then gently set the jug down.
The silver crane-shaped wine jug rested on the table, a silent answer.
The newcomer leaned forward a bit more, exuding an extremely oppressive aura.
âAre you following me?â he asked.
âDonât misunderstand.
Iâm just a passerby,â Jiang Wang replied, âIt so happened that I overheard your discussion about the Three-Part Fragrance Building and was intrigued to come see for myself.â
âWe spoke of so much, yet you only heard about the Three-Part Fragrance Building.â
âOnly the Three-Part Fragrance Building seemed interesting,â Jiang Wang replied.
Ha ha ha ha ha,â the man began to laugh, and it seemed the atmosphere of the elegant seat softened with his laughter.
âTo the benevolent, benevolence; to the wise, wisdom.
Seeing a Three-Part Fragrance Building in you, it seems you might be an interesting person.â
âMaybe,â Jiang Wang said, âI have already explained what needed to be explained.
Your behavior right now is very rude.
Is there anything else?â
âDonât you know who I am?â The man frowned, with an innate sense of looking down from a lofty position, âYou should know Iâm not known for a good temper.â
Jiang Wang looked at this obviously high-ranking individual from He Country, his expression unchanging.
He simply replied, âIâm not in a very good mood!â
