Nine Rings C90
by MarineTL — Chapter 90 - A Rash Decision The water below was pitch-black, and the nighttime chill cut straight to the bone. Honestly, if it had been daytime, I probably wouldn’t have jumped into the river so easily. As someone from the Central Plains, I’d grown up learning about the Yellow River. So I knew all too well that the most dangerous things in rivers weren’t the visible currents, but the hidden undertows and whirlpools. Those could silently drag even the strongest swimmers to their deaths. That was…

Nine Rings C101
by MarineTL — Chapter 101: The Buddha One Cannot Worship That sleep was incredibly restorative, and my exhaustion quickly faded. The sound of water reached my ears, followed by a sudden drop of water landing on my face. The icy liquid startled me so much that I sat up instantly. I wiped my face, only to find it covered in droplets. Water was still dripping from the cave ceiling, likely seeping through from deep within the rock. Tian Xiaoqi surprisingly hadn't woken me for my watch. She was lying beside me, her…

Nine Rings C112
by MarineTL — Chapter 112: Reinforcements from the Heavens I wondered if he was being a bit dramatic. Lu A'yao had only exchanged a few words with Tian Yuqing, so how did they end up being labeled as thick as thieves? Besides, even if he really was in league with Tian Yuqing, the man was still Tian Xiaoqi's cousin. She couldn't possibly fly into a murderous rage just because she couldn't get the answers she wanted, right? "This is a bit much, isn't it?" I forced a chuckle. Baldy waved a hand dismissively.…

Nine Rings C91
by MarineTL — Chapter 91: Breaking Free This wasn’t the first time I’d been bitten by a snake. When I was a kid, I got too caught up playing and wrestling in the grass with some friends. Just my luck, I landed right on a snake that had been lounging in the shade. I must’ve disturbed its nap, because it twisted its neck and sank its fangs into me. Thankfully, it wasn’t venomous, but it still left me miserable for quite a while. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. In the end, it was just…

Nine Rings C102
by MarineTL — Chapter 102: Good News The whole thing was so strange that even now, looking back, I feel utterly perplexed. I had no prior history of sleepwalking, yet the texture of that stone pagoda felt no different from reality. If that Lu A'yao who appeared out of thin air hadn't been so different from the real person and given himself away, what would have happened to me next? A fit of coughing eventually jolted me awake. I choked up mouthfuls of white mycelium. I was still lying in the same spot, but in a…

Nine Rings C113
by MarineTL — Chapter 113: The Tomb Raider Who Went to His Death Chen Canghai knelt beside me to rest. Seeing me look at him, he made a few hand gestures. After seeing them so often, I could guess most of what he meant. He Yu hadn't seen them much, so he didn't understand and tapped me on the shoulder. "Wh-what was that? What does that mean again?" I explained, "He might have had systematic training in something like Sanda before." Chen Canghai nodded after hearing my explanation. I had guessed correctly,…

Nine Rings C92
by MarineTL — Chapter 92: The One Who Carved the Words Liu Sanshui was a man shrouded in mystery. He was the youngest among the Five Masters of his generation, the first to die, but also the first Liu family member to rise to prominence. It's no exaggeration to say that the Liu family's vast client base today was built largely thanks to him. Of all the people my grandfather disliked dealing with, Liu Sanshui topped the list. I’d heard bits and pieces about his early years—how he once joined a group of tomb…

Nine Rings C103
by MarineTL — Chapter 103: Inside the Pagoda 1 The hook at the top of the pagoda kept making that hair-raising sound. After some thought, I decided to climb up and take a look, but these five flights of stairs were quite a challenge to navigate with only one good leg. Besides, ever since I had been bound by that mycelium, I felt as though I couldn't muster any strength in my body. I gripped the ladder and hauled myself upward. It was pitch black inside the stone pagoda. As I climbed, a faint sound of chanting…
