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 C70
by MarineTL — Chapter 70: The Ones We Can't Take With Us I waved frantically in Fourth Brother’s direction. He saw me too, his eyes full of worry. Strangely, there was no surprise in them. He and a few of his men grabbed hold of the iron chain that extended to the cave entrance, and it took them a full half hour to haul us up. The moment I climbed out, Fourth Brother yanked me aside. I stumbled, my ear aching from his grip, and he immediately started scolding me. “Are you trying to get yourself killed? What the…

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 C81
by MarineTL — Chapter 81: Death Bringer Sensing things were about to go south, I knew brute force wasn't an option. This was their turf, and if it came down to a fight, we didn’t stand a chance. So I forced an awkward smile and said, “Big bro, boss, we’ve never met Qian Chuan’er before. We’re just here to ask him about something. Don’t get the wrong idea, we’re not here to cause trouble.” Maybe it was the honest, clear look in my eyes that did it. I didn’t look like a seasoned thug, so after I…

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,…

Chapter
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 C71
by MarineTL — Chapter 71: Lu A'yao's Warning Of course I didn’t agree with what he said. The man wasn't even dead yet, and even if he were, I’d still want to bring him back and give him a proper burial. But Fourth Brother wasn’t joking. He was dead serious, trying to discuss it with me—or maybe he never intended to ask for my opinion at all. After all, everyone here listened to him. If he said to leave someone behind, who would dare disobey? When I didn’t respond, Fourth Brother asked, “You’re not…

Chapter
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…
