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 C211
by MarineTL — Chapter 211: Snow Country Our three crates were carried out by the shop hands and loaded into the trunk one by one. I lay curled up inside my crate, listening to the movement outside. After a moment, I heard Qian Deli get into the car. He called out a greeting to the workers, inserted the key, started the engine, and hit the gas. I felt the vehicle slowly pull away. Qian Deli lit a cigarette and took a drag before tapping on He Yu's crate next to mine. "You can all come out now. They can't see us…

Nine Rings C243
by MarineTL — Chapter 243: Human Skin I coughed as I leaned over the jade railing of the long bridge, glancing back toward the hole we had fallen through. To my shock, I realized it wasn't just a hole, but a carved stone dragon head protruding from the ceiling of the cavern. It looked incredibly sinister. This wasn't a dragon from traditional mythology, but a multi-legged insectoid creature with long, centipede-like feelers. I estimated the distance between us and the creature and began to worry. "This is going to…

Nine Rings C275
by MarineTL — Chapter 275: Exploring the Mysterious Caves of Mount Xi Ye Yuzhu had been away from home for three years. When he finally emerged, he did so with a sudden, overwhelming force, swallowing up four or five neighboring mountain strongholds in quick succession. He became a rising star among the poleaxe-wielding bandit leaders in the Funiu Mountain region. His followers grew from an initial hundred or so men at Shulong Fortress to thousands, and eventually tens of thousands. This exploit was jokingly referred…

Nine Rings C222
by MarineTL — Chapter 222: The Smiling Tiger Zhurige took the copper pendant from Ye Yuzhu's hand and examined it. She felt the object was indeed radiant and beautiful, but it lacked any practical use. No matter how valuable it was, it would be impossible to sell unless she could find a buyer who recognized its worth. She shook her head and handed it back. Ye Yuzhu watched her, unable to fathom what the young girl was calculating. He had never met anyone who turned down cold, hard cash, and for a moment, he was at…

Nine Rings C254
by MarineTL — Chapter 254: The Cold Shoulder I cracked the whip across the horse's flank, and Kuba's mount shot forward instantly. Gripping the reins with one hand and swinging the whip with the other, I galloped across the vast expanse of the grasslands. As soon as I surged out, I heard the locals shouting behind us on the prairie, drinking mare's milk wine and cheering with laughter. The horse followed the trail Tian Xiaoqi had left for about a li. Once the locals' campfires faded out of sight, I spotted her in…
