Nine Rings C264
by MarineTL — Chapter 264: Adding Insult to Injury We retreated from the mouth of the fissure back into its depths to lay low. Whenever we raised our flashlights, though, we could still see the murals on the opposite wall. The giant centipede returned to patrol every now and then. If I wasn't mistaken, this was its territory. There was no telling how high this cliff actually was. Our flashlights couldn't reach the top, but going down wasn't an option either. Once we hit the ground, without the protection of the…

Nine Rings C296
by MarineTL — Chapter 296: The Parenting Manual (Part 2) When the hospital finally notified me to pick up the baby, He Yu came along anyway. He paid out of his own pocket for a mountain of supplies, which had me laughing just looking at it all. The night before bringing her home, I stayed up late digging through a pile of junk in the basement of my grandfather's ancestral home to pull out the old-fashioned cradle I'd used as a baby. The next day, I washed all the padding He Yu had bought, dried it thoroughly in…

Nine Rings C83
by MarineTL — Chapter 83: Making Enemies Qiao Sangui was urging me, but I was surprisingly calm. I didn’t agree right away. First of all, it was strange that he hadn’t been the least bit surprised by my arrival. That alone was suspicious. He also knew my grandfather and was clearly aware that I was the one who leaked the information about the Jade Casket in Yunnan. So I had a bold guess: Qiao Sangui had anticipated my arrival from the moment I released the news about the casket. Not only that, but with his…

Nine Rings C115
by MarineTL — Chapter 115: The Underground Palace Sewer As soon as I finished speaking, He Yu shoved me away with his hand. "Go, go, go! Out of the way! Honestly, this place isn't even that big. The three of us must have searched it two or three times by now. Where's this passage of yours? There isn't even a trace of it!" He slung an arm over my shoulder. "Xiao Yao, you didn't remember it wrong, did you?" I slapped his hand away and said firmly, "Impossible! That map is burned into my mind. The passage…

Nine Rings C147
by MarineTL — Chapter 147: Meeting Bai Shenxian Again Bai Shenxian was not as disheveled as when we first met. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, his hair had been cut much shorter, and his stubble was shaved clean. He looked like a completely different person—or at least like an intellectual—appearing young and clean-cut. But even if his face, once cleaned up, was enough to charm thousands, I didn't actually want to deal with him, much less see him here. A swirl of complex emotions rushed over me all…

Nine Rings C179
by MarineTL — Chapter 179: The Builder The moment I crawled into the hole, a chilling draft snaked down my collar. I rubbed my arms and scrambled forward a few steps. The interior of the Stone Tortoise Mouth was absolute darkness. I hadn't been crawling long before my flashlight flickered and died. I figured I'd dropped it one too many times; it was about time for it to be scrapped anyway. There were four of us and three flashlights left. Even without mine, I had Lu Ayao's light ahead to guide the way, so I wasn't…

Nine Rings C211
by MarineTL — Chapter 211: Snow Country Our three crates were carried out by the shop hands and loaded into the trunk one by one. I lay curled up inside my crate, listening to the movement outside. After a moment, I heard Qian Deli get into the car. He called out a greeting to the workers, inserted the key, started the engine, and hit the gas. I felt the vehicle slowly pull away. Qian Deli lit a cigarette and took a drag before tapping on He Yu's crate next to mine. "You can all come out now. They can't see us…

Chapter
Nine Rings C243
by MarineTL — Chapter 243: Human Skin I coughed as I leaned over the jade railing of the long bridge, glancing back toward the hole we had fallen through. To my shock, I realized it wasn't just a hole, but a carved stone dragon head protruding from the ceiling of the cavern. It looked incredibly sinister. This wasn't a dragon from traditional mythology, but a multi-legged insectoid creature with long, centipede-like feelers. I estimated the distance between us and the creature and began to worry. "This is going to…
