Summary and listing above are for the fantasy setting version; the author has also written a version set in the modern day, which is currently 664 chapters long --- I’m not going to even start on that until I finish translating volume one above.

Chapter 10: Further adventures in caving, and a long-awaited arrival ---at least, long-awaited for anybody reading this in English! (Art by the novel's author 君sola, not specifically related to this chapter.)
An English translation of Chapter Nine of Jun Sola's f/f novel Tan Xu Ling is now available! Shi Qingyi and the not-so-merry band of tomb raiders finally emerge from underground, only to go right back down. Beautiful mountain scenery fails to be visible, mysterious pasts are hinted at, and our two main characters find yet another serious reason they absolutely need to be holding each other.
Jun Sola, author of baihe tomb-raiding novel Exploring an Empty Tomb, posts a short video (ft her own art) to celebrate main character Shi Qingyi's birthday according to the lunisolar calendar (the fourth day of the first month).
