Universal Lords: Building an Immortal Fairyland from Scratch

Chapter 26: The Fengyue Baojian Qin Keqing!

“Good things end, the painted beams of spring fall in fragrant dust!”

Within the Red Mansion,

a profound and mysterious voice echoed,

reaching the ears of both of them.

Wu Chi was taken aback, his gaze falling upon the woman in a phoenix coronet and ceremonial wedding dress.

She was…

Qin Keqing?

Why is she wearing a wedding dress?

In his memory,

Qin Keqing had passed away young,

her life cut short by a weak husband, a father-in-law’s betrayal, and eventually her suicide.

But the Qin Keqing standing before him appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen,

her delicate makeup, phoenix-shaped eyes, and rouge lips all flawlessly arranged.

She looked at him with a surprised expression, her face full of confusion.

“She must be receiving information?”

Wu Chi thought to himself, opening the [Qin Keqing] attributes panel to take a closer look.

“Another Gold Legend hero!”

“Could it be that every hero summoned from the Red Mansion under the Twelve Beauties of Jinling bond is a Gold Legend hero?”

Wu Chi’s gaze grew excited as he carefully examined the attributes, his heart swelling with joy.

Qin Keqing’s attributes were just as formidable as Lin Daiyu’s!

While Lin Daiyu’s strength focused on raw “brutality,” Qin Keqing’s attributes were just as high, and her talent, [Fengyue Baojian], appeared to be a highly powerful support ability!

“Targeting weaknesses, huh?”

“Based on what I’ve read in the textbooks, this kind of talent would be excellent for a ranged class!”

Wu Chi’s thoughts shifted as new ideas formed in his mind.

Moreover, since both heroes were from the Red Mansion,

their bond had been activated, increasing their attributes by 10 points each.

What pleased Wu Chi most was that the total bonus had granted both heroes +1 Luck!

Everyone has their own luck.

Luck, in this sense, refers both to chance and destiny.

Therefore, luck isn’t constant, and it can go both ways—good or bad.

But Luck, specifically, is an extra boost to “fortune.”

When luck is on your side, it enhances everything; when luck is low, it ensures you don’t experience as many setbacks.

Thus, higher luck is always a good thing. No one will ever complain about it.

Wu Chi remembered something his teacher once said about “luck” and “luck value” during his school days.

In his senior year at the high school, there was a young lord whose strength was lacking. He struggled in the “newcomer trials” and barely made it through the monster waves, suffering heavy losses.

But then, a new wave of monsters appeared—an alien race of Light Spirits.

It so happened that this senior was placed in an area with an overwhelming darkness attribute, causing the Light Spirit’s power to plummet by 99%!

Surprisingly, the senior held on for 30 days, barely surviving, and was awarded with a Void reward!

By the time this year’s trial arrived, he had already ascended to university.

His territory feature? It increased his luck!

“Luck is a form of strength, so classmates, remember not to envy someone else’s luck!”

Wu Chi recalled his teacher’s words, nodding thoughtfully.

At this moment, Qin Keqing snapped out of her daze and looked at Wu Chi.

Her silver bell-like voice echoed in his ears.

“L-lord?”

“Yes, you must have received some basic information.”

Wu Chi nodded, smiling. “Just call me Wu Chi.”

“I…”

Qin Keqing paused, then smiled bitterly. “I’ll still address you as Gongzi.”

“The world is full of illusions and truths,

yet there truly exists a world beyond this one. Those stories and novels… they may not be entirely false.”

She murmured, her delicate face full of confusion.

Unlike Lin Daiyu, Qin Keqing appeared more disoriented.

Seeing this, Wu Chi couldn’t help but ask, “When did you arrive?”

“Huh?”

Qin Keqing looked confused but answered,

“In the bridal chamber.”

“It was on my wedding day. I was waiting in the bridal chamber, but unexpectedly… I was summoned here by you.”
