Nine Rings C57
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…

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 C56
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 C49
by MarineTL — Chapter 49: Songjiachang Reservoir After six months of digging through data, Hou Jinshan finally concluded that the Nieyao Divine Mountain was actually Shennongjia in Hubei. But up to this point, it was still just an educated guess based on basic information—he had no way to confirm it for certain. So he began searching for the whereabouts of the Nine-Ring Jade Casket, hoping to see it again. As we talked, Xiao Wu caught my look and went to lock the door. I pulled the Jade Casket out of my bag and…

Nine Rings C55
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 C48
by MarineTL — Chapter 48: Ghost Mountain It was two days later when I finally got another call from Hou Jinshan. The bastard had just gotten off the train at nine in the morning and was already sitting in the private room I’d reserved, waiting for me. I’m not a morning person, so I basically just splashed some water on my face and stumbled out the door half-asleep. I was in a foul mood, and even my footsteps carried a stormy air. Xiao Wu had handled things well. He’d booked a room near the stairs, where there…

Nine Rings C54
by MarineTL — Chapter 54: Into the Water I no longer had the energy to complain. Clutching the yellowed slip of paper, I held up my phone—already sealed in a waterproof pouch—and began frantically searching for a signal beneath the massive waterfall. But in a place this remote, cell reception was even rarer than the scenery. After scouring the entire area and coming up empty, I could only find a shaded rock to sit on. I glanced at the paper in my hand, feeling utterly helpless. All I could do now was take out…

Chapter
Nine Rings C47
by MarineTL — Chapter 47: Setting the Table It was both a threat and an invitation. Someone from the shadows was urging me to investigate that old project, even going so far as to "thoughtfully" include two pages from the records—names and handwriting deliberately faded—just in case I didn’t get the hint. But why me? Why insist that I be the one to look into this? What if I just walked away and ignored it? Tian Xiao is still living peacefully with the Tian Family. If they wanted to uncover the truth about that…
