Nine Rings C61
by MarineTL — Chapter 61: Ghost Paintings and the Ghost Ruins "Get some rest and prepare to move out again." "This cave must have been flooded. Everything's damp. What a damn mess." "Keep your voice down. Don’t let Boss Yu hear you." The rustling voices stirred me from sleep. The stone beneath me was hard enough to bruise bone, and there was still water in my lungs I hadn’t completely coughed out. I sat up and hacked a few times, the world slowly coming into focus. I saw a fire burning nearby, a blanket…

Nine Rings C93
by MarineTL — Chapter 93: The Burial Coffin Later, the two of us chatted some more, and I realized that He Yu had an extremely stereotyped view of the Lu family. It was so intense that I started to wonder if someone from a Lu family branch had offended his family in the past. Otherwise, where would all that resentment come from? Chen Canghai turned out to be pretty skilled at wilderness survival. I’d been too caught up in conversation to notice earlier, but now I realized the pile of coffin boards we’d used to…

Chapter
Nine Rings C08
by MarineTL — Chapter 8: Granny Yin I thought Tian Yuqing would arrange for me to ride in the same car as him, but to my surprise, he put me in the second car while he got into the first one. Squinting, I peered into the first car and saw an elderly man with a grizzled beard sitting in the backseat. I found it odd that there was such an elderly person in the group. At his age, enduring such a bumpy journey seemed rather inhumane. I wondered what the rules were. Reluctantly, I climbed into the backseat of the second…

Chapter
Nine Rings C40
by MarineTL — Chapter 40: An Old Acquaintance and a Web of Doubts The moment I slammed the bag onto the table, the old man panicked. His smooth-talking spiel quickly unraveled into a mess of incoherent babble. It didn’t take long for me to notice—he seemed both wary of the casket and deeply curious about it. I thought for a moment, then pushed the bag toward him. “Didn’t you want to see it? Go ahead.” He froze, instinctively reaching for the zipper, but then pulled his hand back the next second. He gave me…

Chapter
Nine Rings C72
by MarineTL — Chapter 72: Headless Bodhisattva If one day I become the leader of the Five Masters, the very first rule I’d hammer into the handbook of their descendants—right on the first page, bolded and centered with an exclamation mark—would be: “Speak clearly and finish your damn sentences!” From what I’ve seen of the Five Masters’ descendants so far, not a single one can properly explain anything. I honestly start to wonder if they all flunked language class as kids. Is it really that hard to say…

Chapter
Nine Rings C104
by MarineTL — Chapter 104 Inside the Pagoda 2 Despite this, I still hoped He Yu would put the knife down, but he refused, saying he felt more at ease "interrogating" with the blade already in place. People in this line of work really love their weapons, and I couldn't talk him out of it at all. So, as soon as Tian Xiaoqi regained even a shred of consciousness, He Yu pinned her shoulder with one hand, the sharp blade of the combat knife resting against the fabric of her collar, a technique used to prevent…

Chapter
Nine Rings C19
by MarineTL — Chapter 19: Burial Pit Lu A'yao walked back to me and handed me a bottle of water. He told me that the pulley had gotten stuck halfway down, causing several people to lose their grip while trying to fix it. Suddenly, the pulley started working again, and several people above stumbled, letting go of the rope, and I plummeted down. Thankfully, the rope attached to my harness was long enough, and halfway down, the buckle got caught in a crevice. Otherwise, I would have been seriously injured. Sitting on…

Chapter
Nine Rings C51
by MarineTL — Chapter 51: Muddy Waters I never expected to see Yu Jingzi under these circumstances. Her sudden appearance caught me completely off guard. I hid behind Xiao Wu, sneaking glances at their group taking shelter from the rain—there were a lot of them, at least a dozen. Four Hummers were parked in front of the restaurant. Yu Jingzi was dressed lightly—a black athletic jacket over a camisole that dipped almost to her chest. She walked in, found a seat, and began ordering food with her people. Compared…
