Chapter 114: Enough Is Enough

"Your concern shouldn’t be about the private jet, but rather the fact that you almost got drunk today!" At this, Lu Ming’s voice grew sharper with anger. "If I hadn’t come tonight, what would you have done?"

"I’m sorry, but I had no choice," Lian Youyou whispered, "because the film’s budget is running out..."

"Have you ever seen Gao Xian unable to finish a movie because of budget issues? Does he need you to go out and drink with people just to get some extra funding?"

Lian Youyou protested, aggrieved, "But someone has to step up, right? Even if we can finish filming with insufficient funds, the quality will suffer. I don’t want my first film in this era to..."

That night, Jian Fenghou accompanied her for a long walk. Both were filled with immense joy, and Jian Fenghou also felt the stirring, intoxicating thrill of falling deeply in love.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nian cast a chilly glance at Gu Liangdong. So, there really was an honored guest arriving—otherwise, how could Yang have shown that attitude earlier?

Su Qianqian felt a cold draft brush the back of her neck at those words and thought to herself, "This is it, I’m about to lose my head."

Seeing her name occupying first, second, and fourth place, Qiao Mu silently sighed. Who had she offended? Aside from her Best Actress win trending at number one, all the rest were negative news.

She had come along with Wang Zhizhi; I wasn’t surprised at all. I shot her a cold look, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Zhao Shuo’s words made it seem as if Su Qianqian’s silence would be downright rude and ignorant.

Oberstein watched the princess’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but lick his lips. The princess truly was a "toy" worth high expectations.

"No need. If I were in need of help, I would have taken on disciples long ago," Li Shangqian declined outright.

Before her words faded, Yuan Ning’er’s eyes widened. "How dare you slander my master! I’ll kill you right now!" With that, she raised her whip and lashed toward the woman’s neck.

"Yes, sir!" Domenjiro’s adjutant responded and fled the command room to find someone to clean up.

After all, this wasn’t a special operations team; their battlefield execution ability was bound to be lacking. All they could do was prepare thoroughly beforehand, even teaching them some basic special ops hand signals.

Compared to Li Teng’s free-range approach to the tech tree, Yan Yu’s mechanical factory was under immense pressure, racing to overcome technical challenges.

When Li Xiang led Yang Tong out of the hall, everyone grew curious and followed to see what was happening.

Hua Bin had no idea what trouble she was in, but it had been a long time since they’d been in touch—mostly because Hua Bin had been mired in heartbreak.

Though Emperor Sikong Yuan’s tone was light, Lu Zifeng sensed something unusual. Within five or ten years, the Turbid Demons might make a major move. Before that happens, he must strengthen his own cultivation and shoulder the responsibility of protecting Tianfeng Continent.

Wu Shiyue managed recruitment under Li Yuan, which puzzled Zhai Rang. Clearly a government official, and responsible for recruitment—why was he together with Li Mi, and seemingly quite familiar? Had Li Mi already secretly pledged men and horses to Li Yuan?

Suddenly, the sound of wind slicing through the air erupted. Lin Chong saw a golden-red streak shoot forth, roaring toward him with murderous fury.

"Your teacher didn’t forbid you from joining forces with me against our enemies, did he?" Ding Kui asked uneasily, wary of inadvertently violating royal taboos.

Over twenty puppets surged forward, wildly battling those around them. If victorious, they kept fighting; if not, they self-destructed! It was simple and brutal, as if they were made without regard for cost—a truly shocking sight.

"Oh, so Chef, you believe that Zhang Chi and Zhang Bichen, under your guidance, can absolutely sweep away those two?" Zhang Shaogang, grinning, pointed to Wang Yang and Lin Fan nearby, continuing to dig his verbal pit.

But just then, a cold laugh suddenly cut through the fervent atmosphere. The voice was quiet but so abrupt, it couldn’t be ignored.
