Nine Rings C200
by MarineTL — Chapter 200: Farewell I slept soundly for a solid four or five hours. When I woke up, the beds around me were empty. He Yu had brought my bag inside and placed it at the head of the bed. Only a single lamp was lit on the table in the tent. I hadn't been awake long when someone swept aside the tent flap, letting in a gust of cold wind. “Now that you're awake, come wash your face. We have roast meat tonight.” Bai Shenxian set a basin of water on an iron rack with one hand while holding a bright gas…

Nine Rings C232
by MarineTL — Chapter 232: The Chess Piece He Yu was clearly caught off guard by my words, because I hadn't asked a normal question like I usually did. He threw an arm around my shoulders. "Hey now, did you not hear me? Don't be mad. Didn't I just apologize? I promise, from now on, I'll tell you everything first." My gaze didn't waver, and I didn't move an inch. I kept staring at him, my voice flat. "It's not that. It's something else." The smile on He Yu's face instantly froze. Maintaining a calm…

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 C19
by MarineTL — Chapter 19: Burial Pit Lu A'yao walked back to me and handed me a bottle of water. He told me that the pulley had gotten stuck halfway down, causing several people to lose their grip while trying to fix it. Suddenly, the pulley started working again, and several people above stumbled, letting go of the rope, and I plummeted down. Thankfully, the rope attached to my harness was long enough, and halfway down, the buckle got caught in a crevice. Otherwise, I would have been seriously injured. Sitting…

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 her group taking shelter from the rain; there were a lot of them, at least a dozen. Four Hummers were parked outside the restaurant. Yu Jingzi was dressed lightly, wearing a black athletic jacket over a camisole that dipped low across her chest. She walked in, found a seat, and began ordering food with her…

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…
