Chapter 28

C28 – Nymph of River Bi Yu

Qiang Nantie was at a loss for words.

In a world as vast as this, oddities were bound to surface.

For Qiang Nantie, this was merely a minor episode.

He glanced again at the second item in the mysterious store and couldn’t help but smile.

It was a structure.

Item: Building – Barracks

Quality: E

Description: Once you deploy this structure, you can construct a barracks.

Price: 200,000 spirit coins

“I must be lucky; these barracks couldn’t have come at a better time!”

Having previously acquired a structure like the Bronze Bird Terrace, Qiang Nantie was intrigued by the potential of these new barracks.

Currently short on manpower, he lamented the Bronze Bird Terrace’s low odds of summoning a hero.

If not for that, he wouldn’t have prioritized upgrading it.

With an additional barracks now in his possession, he was eager to discover its capabilities.

He hoped for a normal barracks capable of summoning soldiers, unlike the Bronze Bird Terrace, which had lost its appeal to him.

Considering the price, it was a steal. Without hesitation, Qiang Nantie purchased the barracks.

A message from his territory confirmed, “You have spent 200,000 spirit coins on a building barracks.”

He decided to construct it later, turning his attention to the third item.

A Diamond Level piece of equipment was priced at a staggering fifty million spirit coins. He was hit with the realization that he was perpetually impoverished!

Unable to afford it, he simply moved on.

The fourth item caught his eye—an equipment piece with an impressive effect.

Item: True Spirit Ring

Quality: Gold

Durability: 200/200

Attribute 1: +10 Strength, +10 Dexterity, +10 Constitution

Attribute 2: Spiritual Energy Blessing (Releases a surge of Spiritual Energy onto the weapon, potentially tripling the damage. Exact damage varies with the attack. Cooldown: 24 hours.)

Description: Forged from True Spirit Ore, it possesses immense power!

Price: 300,000 spirit coins

The price was a bargain.

His territory alerted him, “You have spent 300,000 spirit coins on the True Spirit Ring.”

Slipping on the True Spirit Ring, his three attributes each rose by 10 points.

He had grown more formidable.

Luck: 30 (Base Value: 3)

Strength: 3 (Base Value: 0.3)

Physique: 5 (Base Value: 0.5)

Special Attribute 2: Water (Ice) Spells (Affinity increased by 100%)

Introduction: Transformed by a mysterious energy, her base attributes have surged tenfold. Known as the second great beauty of the Three Kingdoms era, she is also revered as the Nymph of the River.

Qiang Nantie was left speechless upon reviewing Bi Yu’s attributes.

Her luck was off the charts!

Was it because Bi Yu had once been a queen?

Indeed, in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, Bi Yu had been a queen, far outstripping Huamo in fortune.

Bi Yu seemed to be a mage, with her attributes indicating exceptionally high magical damage.

She possessed Water Spells and her Mental Strength was formidable.

“Just how potent is Bi Yu’s Ode to the Nymph of the Luo River skill? Given its wide range and innate nature, it must be incredibly formidable.”

Bi Yu’s beauty was undeniable, yet it differed from Huamo’s. Hers was a mature allure that easily captivated those around her.

Having spent two days with Huamo, he had learned to better master his composure. Consequently, he swiftly collected himself.

“Greetings, my Lord.”

Upon noticing Qiang Nantie, Bi Yu promptly approached and offered a respectful bow.

Her demeanor was graceful and utterly enchanting.

Huamo had been similarly captivating upon her arrival, perhaps even more so than Bi Yu.

Both women were exceptional beauties.

Qiang Nantie hastened to say, “Please, there’s no need for formalities. Are you acquainted with Huamo?”

He was unsure whether the two women had previously crossed paths.

Bi Yu responded, “Huamo? I’m not familiar with her.”

These heroes were completely oblivious to historical events. Their knowledge was limited to their own identities and the reality of their territories and lords.

In a way, this ignorance was a blessing for them.

The past was just that—past. He was determined not to let them suffer their former tragic destinies.

“Don’t worry, I’ll introduce you to her.”

Qiang Nantie took the lead. As he observed Bi Yu, he noticed a stark contrast between her and Huamo. While Huamo was quite shy, Bi Yu was outgoing and eager to learn about their surroundings.

Qiang Nantie filled her in on everything she wanted to know.

Before long, they had reached the Spirit Vein Bamboo House.
