Nine Rings C63
by MarineTL — Chapter 63: The Ghost Copper Pillar The term "counterfeit" didn’t quite sit right with me at first. I pressed Yu Jingzi about it a few more times, and eventually realized that what she called a "counterfeit" was more akin to what we’d call a model home—a replica built for display. We continued climbing the stone steps, making our way to the end of the small waterfall. The rushing underground river had worn the stone smooth and slick, so I had to watch every step with extreme caution. Yu Jingzi…

Nine Rings C62
by MarineTL — Chapter 62: A Counterfeit Relic As soon as she finished speaking, I realized something was off. A logical person always has a focus when they speak, and Yu Jingzi was undoubtedly that type. She had said a lot, but every point she made stuck clearly in my mind. Also, this was the first time I’d ever heard of something called the "Wood-Returning Stone." Her emphasis leaned heavily toward that, unlike Hou Jinshan, who had clearly focused more on the Ghost Market Map itself. Why the difference? I was…

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 C60
by MarineTL — Chapter 60: Suffocation This covered bridge probably doesn’t have too many traps, but that’s just my preliminary guess. After all, I’m not the one who built this ruin. Someone capable of embedding iron chains into the base of stone statues underwater is definitely no ordinary craftsman. If he insisted on rigging the bridge with something, I’d just have to accept my fate. Besides, it’s not like my mouth is really blessed with divine foresight. I raised my hand and gave Hou Jinshan a look. He…

Nine Rings C59
by MarineTL — Chapter 59: Man Eats Man My limbs were pinned down, unable to move. Deep down, I had already sensed something like this might happen, but I reacted far too slowly. If it had been Tian Yuqing in my place, he would've had a strategy prepared and a contingency plan ready. At the very least, he wouldn't have ended up in such a pitiful position like I had. To say I was one of the rare geniuses among the juniors of the Five Masters was giving me way too much credit. Calling me the most outstanding idiot…

Chapter
Nine Rings C52
by MarineTL — Chapter 52: Gan Ji’s Risky Move Hou Jinshan made it pretty clear—he had no intention of letting me go any further. But I’ve always had a rebellious streak. I hate following rules, especially when they’re shoved in my face. The more he tried to shut me out, the more determined I became to stick with the team and keep moving forward. We got back in the car. The rain had stopped, and the sun broke through quickly, causing the temperature to spike. One by one, we started peeling off our jackets.…

Nine Rings C58
by MarineTL — Chapter 58: Sudden Upheaval I hadn’t even finished speaking when Hou Jinshan burst out laughing. “Kid, trying to trick me again? This time, I’m not falling for it.” My thoughts had become much clearer now. Earlier, I’d been influenced by He Yu, but ever since we entered the cave this time, I’d been paying close attention to the passage of time. From the moment we started diving until now, exactly two hours had passed. I figured it was time to stop and sort out my thoughts. Li Wanchou had…

Chapter
Nine Rings C51
by MarineTL — Chapter 51: Muddy Waters I never expected to see Yu Jingzi under these circumstances. Her sudden appearance caught me completely off guard. I hid behind Xiao Wu, sneaking glances at their group taking shelter from the rain—there were a lot of them, at least a dozen. Four Hummers were parked in front of the restaurant. Yu Jingzi was dressed lightly—a black athletic jacket over a camisole that dipped almost to her chest. She walked in, found a seat, and began ordering food with her people. Compared…
