Nine Rings C133
by MarineTL — Chapter 133 Bai Shenxian Generally speaking, whenever Lu Ayao came in, He Yu and I had to head out. Whether he was sleeping or completely ignoring what we were talking about, his presence made it pretty much impossible for us to talk freely. So when He Yu went out and didn't come back after ten minutes, I started climbing down from my bunk. Once my feet hit the floor, I saw Lu Ayao lying on the bottom bunk with his eyes closed, so I tiptoed out as well. As soon as I stepped outside and turned my…

Nine Rings C132
by MarineTL — Chapter 132: The Return Trip I didn't expect him to ask that out of nowhere. My brain stalled for a second, and I stared at the computer screen for a long while before coming to my senses. I scratched my head, not knowing where to start, trying to stall and brush it off. This tactic worked well on my Fourth Brother, but it was useless with He Yu. He was extraordinarily sensitive when it came to interpersonal matters, so he quickly poked me with a finger. "What's the matter? You've already said so…

Nine Rings C131
by MarineTL — Chapter 131: Selling the Bracelet "Why?" My face paled at his words, and I nearly lost my grip on my chopsticks. I quickly explained to him, "Look, when I said you were my bodyguard before, I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. I don't know what special rules your Lu Clan has, but I truly consider you a friend. We don't need to follow that whole copper-coin repayment of gratitude thing. When my grandfather sent your family rice back then, it was just a bit of relief aid. You…

Chapter
Nine Rings C130
by MarineTL — Chapter 130: The Next Step We messed around for a while until we were too tired to move, then each of us showered to wash off the exhaustion of the past few days. Three people in one bed was far too crowded. To prevent He Yu from dragging away all the blankets once he fell asleep, I went to ask the staff for two extra ones. While He Yu was showering, Lu Ayao leaned against the headboard, playing with his phone—a rare sight for him. I wrapped myself in my blanket and lay down. I hadn't felt much…

Nine Rings C129
by MarineTL — Chapter 129: Poverty Comes First The spot where we swept into the river was close to the riverbed. It was night, and everything in sight was pitch black. This stretch had sharp bends and a steep drop, and the rushing current quickly swept He Yu and me apart. In water like this, a person is powerless; the only thing you can do is protect your internal organs from being punctured by the rocks. I drew the knife from my waist and rode the current downstream. As I passed a bend where the flow eased…

Nine Rings C128
by MarineTL — Chapter 128 Entering the River "But we don't have time! It's crawling with stone horseshoe crab insects out there. Who knows where that tiny qi vent is in a place this big? Besides, this entire underground palace has undergone a massive shift in position. There's no telling if the qi vent has been blocked!" Han Jian spoke faster and faster, clearly gripped by panic. I listened from the side, just about to speak, when the entire Buddhist pagoda suddenly began to shake violently. Several workers…

Nine Rings C127
by MarineTL — Chapter 127: The Qi Vent I hit the water at breakneck speed. My head nearly grazed the edge of the stone bridge as I went under, followed immediately by my ankles. It was completely unexpected. As soon as the water rushed over me, it began flooding into my windpipe. I choked and thrashed around in the water until my strength began to give out. My blood dispersed into the water. Perhaps catching the scent of blood, an eight-legged infant corpse resting at the bottom suddenly opened its pupil-less eyes…

Chapter
Nine Rings C126
by MarineTL — Chapter 126: Getting on the Bridge Seeing the three of us just standing there, Han Jian quickly came out from behind us. I felt that regardless of whether our idea was feasible, we needed to loop Han Jian in so we could adjust the plan together. Lu Ayao clearly had the same thought, because as soon as Han Jian walked over, Lu Ayao laid out everything we had come up with so far. The platform was large. While they were talking, I stepped to the side to find a better angle for my flashlight. Staring at…
