      Nine Rings C76

      Nine Rings C76 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 76: Finding Reinforcements When I said that, He Yu laughed. “What kind of good stuff could you possibly have? Just to eat your bowl of braised noodles, I’d have to run a few hundred kilometers.” I chuckled too. “Ever heard of the legendary Nieyao Ghost Market Map?” There was a sudden clatter on the other end of the line, like chopsticks hitting the floor. Then He Yu started shouting, “Boss lady! Check, please!” “What’s going on with you today, Xiao He? You’re not eating…

      Nine Rings C55

      Nine Rings C55 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 55 - Falling Behind The water here shimmered with a jade-green glow. I followed Hou Jinshan as we swam beneath a waterfall that looked like a silver ribbon. The deeper we went, the colder the water became. I shivered twice—the kind of chill that seeps into your bones, something no swimming pool could ever replicate. The water was fairly clear, but visibility near the bottom was still terrible. We’d already dived a dozen meters in without seeing a single fish. The only sounds in my ears…

      Nine Rings C66 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 66: An Unexpected Reunion This time, I was unconscious for much longer than before. I had a long, drawn-out nightmare. In the dream, I didn’t even know when I had climbed down from the bronze pillar, but I suddenly saw Lai Qi emerging from the water in an eerie, unnatural posture. He was holding a knife and chasing me around the base of the pillar, shouting that I had to pay with my life. We ran around the massive pillar three full times. In the end, I couldn’t run anymore, so I turned and…

      Nine Rings C77 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 77: Sorting Things Out Xiao Wu was one of Fourth Brother’s people, so I couldn’t count on him anymore. Lu A’yao’s phone had been unreachable the entire time. That guy was like a ghost—always vanishing, full of secrets. I didn’t plan on asking him for help either. At this point, the only person I could rely on was He Yu. I went downstairs and packed two servings of stewed noodles for him, then dragged a small stool over to the table in the living room. I leaned over it and spent a…

      Nine Rings C56 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 56: A Misstep in the Dark I had too many questions, but there was no time to dwell on them. I quickly stepped onto the stone platform and shouted, “Hey! Over here! Xiao Wu! I’m right here!” Xiao Wu heard my voice and froze for a second in the water. He quickly pulled off his diving mask, and his flashlight swung in my direction. In an instant, all six of them saw me. Hou Jinshan recoiled in shock, then recovered and started cursing from the water. “You little bastard! What the…

      Nine Rings C67 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 67: Memory Distortion? After changing the bandages and doing a quick rewrap, we all fell into silence. When Hou Jinshan woke up, he immediately started fawning over Lu A’yao, babbling nonsense non-stop. Lu A’yao didn’t respond to a single word, but that didn’t stop Hou Jinshan from chattering away like he was on fire. I kept quiet simply because I didn’t want to deal with him. I also didn’t want him overhearing too much of our conversation. As for Lu A’yao, I figured he had…

      Nine Rings C78 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 78: 4341951009 After talking for quite a while, He Yu finally gave in. He asked, “You want to investigate the Five Masters? That’s not going to be easy. Especially Tian Yuqing and Chen Si, those two are the trickiest of the bunch. If they team up to come after you, you won’t even know how you died. Who do you plan to ask for help?” That question hit right at my blind spot. When it came to industry insiders and backdoor dealings, I was completely out of my depth. Everyone always said…

      Nine Rings C57 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 57: First Brush with Death The ringing in my ears vanished a split second before the cloud of scales descended. All I could hear was the roar of water, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Li Wanchou, his bloodied eyes shut tight, breaking the surface of the lake. He must have taken me for his last hope of survival. He grabbed onto me in desperation, probably thinking I could pull him up to the stone path. What he didn’t expect was how terrible my balance was. His sudden yank caught me…
