Nine Rings C288
by MarineTL — Chapter 288: The Bandit Series - Kidnapping the Bride (Part IV) Deep within the sprawling manor, an elderly gentleman sat behind a gauze screen embroidered with green bamboo. His hair was silver, and he sat tall in a high seat of honor, dressed in a brocade robe with traditional frog buttons. His posture was ramrod straight, and his bearing extraordinary. Beneath his gaze, Ye Yuzhu knelt on the cold floor tiles outside the screen, wearing only a thin inner garment. Master Ye took a drag from his…

Nine Rings C11
by MarineTL — Chapter 11: Three Sacks of Rice Back in the car, the chill that had seeped into my bones seemed to be whisked away by the warmth of the air conditioning. He Yu had been woken by our commotion, but he didn't seem grumpy at all. Instead, he was curiously staring at Lu A'yao, who had just gotten into the car. Tian Yuqing had mentioned bringing in some help, but it turned out he had only invited Lu A'yao. Once we were all in the car, the convoy turned around and got back on the highway. My emotions were…

Nine Rings C43
by MarineTL — Chapter 43: An Uninvited Guest For the next few days, I stayed holed up in the shop. Most of the businesses in the Outer Eight Trades are soaked in blood, and even after years in the game, my Fourth Brother still moves with caution. I had no choice but to be extra careful myself, watching my back every step I took. But maybe I was being too paranoid. I couldn’t even step out for a meal without dragging Lu A’yao along, or I’d just have one of the shop hands bring food straight to me. Most days,…

Nine Rings C75
by MarineTL — Chapter 75: Xiao Wu's Account When I woke up, all I could hear was the noisy chatter of old men and women talking nearby. They were speaking in a local dialect, and I couldn't understand a single word. The bed beneath me was soft, and I wanted to laze around a bit longer, but the sunlight outside the window stung my eyes so badly I could barely open them. I struggled to squint, only to see Xiao Wu cheerfully pulling open the curtains, then dragging a metal stool over to sit by my bed. Still groggy…

Nine Rings C107
by MarineTL — Chapter 107: Poisoning and Murder He Yu was still hopping mad, complaining that we had ruined him. He grumbled that he was already plagued by bad luck, and now that we had used his explosives to blow the Buddha statue to smithereens, he would probably choke even on a sip of cold water from now on. I shot back, telling him that since he knew he had been down on his luck for so many years, praying to Buddha clearly hadn't done him any good. I suggested we try a different approach; maybe fighting poison…

Nine Rings C139
by MarineTL — Chapter 139: Number 434 Liang Zicheng lay on the ground, cowering and begging for mercy. As soon as I moved the stick away, he suddenly scrambled up and tried to slip away. I reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and hauled him right back. "Look, man, I was really wrong! I'll definitely pay you back once we get back, okay? Just let me go home!" I didn't actually care much about the money he made from reselling my two paintings. Liang Zicheng's family had always been poor, so to win scholarships,…

Nine Rings C171
by MarineTL — Chapter 171: The Mechanism Tian Xiaoqi and I continued forward along the plank path. The walkway, constructed from linked iron chains, was incredibly unstable. I had no idea how deep the darkness below went or how high up we were, so I didn't dare move too fast. This slowed our pace to a crawl, forcing us to stop every three steps. After walking for over half an hour, sweat pouring down my face, I shone my flashlight toward the end of the rift. I discovered the path was nearly at an end, and not far…

Nine Rings C203
by MarineTL — Chapter 203: The Black Boxes He Yu supported me as we walked to the aft cabin, which was used for storage. He moved the heavy crates aside one by one, then somehow scrounged up a folding stool from somewhere. Pointing at it, he ordered me to sit. The blood from my nose had already dried, mostly around my collar. Lu Ayao had given me some medicine right away, but then he'd been detained in the main cabin. They seemed to need him urgently, though they didn't have much use for me. He Yu handed me a…
