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…

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…

Nine Rings C50
by MarineTL — Chapter 50: Into the Mountains The car stopped near the reservoir, and Hou Jinshan sent me another location. The spot he gave was remote, the kind of place only hardcore wild fishing enthusiasts would frequent. Xiao Wu and I trudged through the tall grass for ages before finally reaching the place. As soon as we arrived, we saw Hou Jinshan crouched by the water, seemingly unable to get up. When he saw me, he looked like he'd just spotted his savior. “Oh, thank god you're here, Young Master Gan! Look…

Nine Rings C82
by MarineTL — Chapter 82: The Lu Family’s Obituary The moment Qiao Sangui spoke, my heart skipped a beat. For an instant, I felt like I saw a thousand things flash through his eyes. This man knew me. He knew my grandfather. He even knew I was coming to find him. He might even be fully aware that I had someone spread the word about the Jade Casket in Yunnan. I stood frozen, unsure how to respond. When someone’s level is far beyond yours, your every move is already within their grasp. At that point, anything you…

Nine Rings C61
by MarineTL — Chapter 61: Ghost Paintings and the Ghost Ruins "Get some rest and prepare to move out again." "This cave must have been flooded. Everything's damp. What a damn mess." "Keep your voice down. Don’t let Boss Yu hear you." The rustling voices stirred me from sleep. The stone beneath me was hard enough to bruise bone, and there was still water in my lungs I hadn’t completely coughed out. I sat up and hacked a few times, the world slowly coming into focus. I saw a fire burning nearby, a blanket…

Nine Rings C93
by MarineTL — Chapter 93: The Burial Coffin Later, the two of us chatted some more, and I realized that He Yu had an extremely stereotyped view of the Lu family. It was so intense that I started to wonder if someone from a Lu family branch had offended his family in the past. Otherwise, where would all that resentment come from? Chen Canghai turned out to be pretty skilled at wilderness survival. I’d been too caught up in conversation to notice earlier, but now I realized the pile of coffin boards we’d used to…

Nine Rings C40
by MarineTL — Chapter 40: An Old Acquaintance and a Web of Doubts The moment I slammed the bag onto the table, the old man panicked. His smooth-talking spiel quickly unraveled into a mess of incoherent babble. It didn’t take long for me to notice—he seemed both wary of the casket and deeply curious about it. I thought for a moment, then pushed the bag toward him. “Didn’t you want to see it? Go ahead.” He froze, instinctively reaching for the zipper, but then pulled his hand back the next second. He gave me…

Chapter
Nine Rings C72
by MarineTL — Chapter 72: Headless Bodhisattva If one day I become the leader of the Five Masters, the very first rule I’d hammer into the handbook of their descendants—right on the first page, bolded and centered with an exclamation mark—would be: “Speak clearly and finish your damn sentences!” From what I’ve seen of the Five Masters’ descendants so far, not a single one can properly explain anything. I honestly start to wonder if they all flunked language class as kids. Is it really that hard to say…
