Nine Rings C212

by MarineTL — Chapter 212: Wild Deer Early the next morning, we finished packing our essential supplies. He Yu found a breakfast joint, and the four of us sat around a table eating while chatting idly with the lady running the shop. After listening for a while, I realized He Yu had put quite a bit of thought into picking this place. The proprietress's grandfather had been a logger long ago. Back then, there had been a logging camp deep in the woods of Emu'er Mountain, though after all these years, the camp had…

Nine Rings C213

by MarineTL — Chapter 213: A Midnight Knock at the Door I asked him, "Why did you even bring a bowl along?" He Yu snorted, clearly dissatisfied with my line of questioning. "I asked the guesthouse for it yesterday. Can't you try to eat with a little more class? When you're out in the field, how can you work if you don't eat well? It seems I'm the only one worrying about our basic needs. You? You're unreliable." Muttering to himself, he poured a packet of soup base from a vacuum-sealed bag into the bowl and…

Nine Rings C214

by MarineTL — Chapter 214: The Boss I didn't quite understand, so I asked him to elaborate. Qian Deli coughed twice, glanced toward the door, and lowered his voice. "I used to do business and made some friends around here. While we were drinking, I heard them say that in villages nestled against the mountains like this, you have to lock your doors and windows tight once winter hits. No matter what noise you hear at night, you can't open the door. That's because the noise likely isn't made by a person, but most…

Nine Rings C215

by MarineTL — Chapter 215: Ill Intentions The moment he spoke, those were his first words. It caught me off guard. I immediately looked at the bridle he was holding and noticed that the spiked construction seemed to be the same as the ones hidden on Lu Ayao's white whip. The man had a calm expression and a light, agile posture, looking like a trained martial artist. His hair hadn't been cut in a while; it was long, and to keep it from interfering with his movements, some of the loose strands had been braided. He…

Nine Rings C216

by MarineTL — Chapter 216: The Factory I was stunned that he would say such a thing right to my face, and for a moment, I was at a loss for words. Lu Qianshan's voice wasn't loud, but the place was deathly quiet. It was clear this man was hell-bent on humiliating me in front of everyone. However, I wasn't someone who cared excessively about saving face. If it had been He Yu, he would have definitely traded three hundred rounds of insults with him. Sitting beside me, Old Qian heard it and wanted to step in to…

Nine Rings C201

by MarineTL — Chapter 201: The Eve of the Break The barbecue was a dull affair. I wasn't sure exactly when the atmosphere had turned so somber, but with some people staying behind to continue the excavation and others joining our ship, the crowd thinned out quickly. We finished off the pigeons in short order, and the three of us extinguished the fire, carrying the remaining meat and vegetables back into the tent. He Yu and I knocked back beers in the tent while Lu Ayao dozed against the table. Once we finished off…

Nine Rings C202

by MarineTL — Chapter 202: The Break The three of us were the last to arrive in the cabin. A table sat in the center with a nautical chart spread across it, surrounded by a crowd of workers. I took a quick scan; aside from the crew steering the ship, almost everyone was there. My mother had likely just finished explaining the sailing route. She looked up as she saw us coming down. In an instant, every gaze in the cabin shifted toward us. I had seen this kind of formation before; it never signaled anything…

Nine Rings C203

by MarineTL — Chapter 203: The Black Boxes He Yu supported me as we walked to the aft cabin. It was a storage area for miscellaneous items. He began moving the heavy crates aside one by one, then somehow produced a folding stool from nowhere. Pointing at it, he ordered me to sit down. The blood on my nose had already dried, mostly staining my collar. Lu Ayao had given me some medicine to take the moment we arrived, but he was immediately detained in the main cabin. They seemed to need him urgently, though they…
