Chapter 114: Just a Girlfriend

"Heh, I’d like to see exactly how you’re going to let my million-a-year salary slip away."
Jiang Bo wore a knowing smile. Dong Yue had actually believed Lu Fei’s ghost story. He had been fretting over how to bring Dong Yue back to her senses, and did not expect Lu Fei to lay such a handle at his feet all by himself.
He had taken up the post of vice president at the Lin Family Film Group; the contract had been signed personally by the group’s chief executive, and it had been less than a week since then, when Lu Fei, a mere errand hand, had the nerve to—.
Because the second quarter was heading toward its end, and if the Halftime siren came and the San Antonio Spurs, already without much advantage of being the visiting side, were still the side that was behind, then naturally this was exactly when they would feel the heaviest discouragement.
“If the true body of the Ancestral Shaman is not the same as Pangu’s true body, then how could it bear the primal spirit?” Houtu Ancestor Shaman asked in puzzlement.
“Good. Boys, lift your chests high. We will join in alliance with the Chu army.” Hearing the scout’s report, Zhuang Qi was delighted, and shouted at the rallied soldiers with both arms thrown wide.
Although the team as a whole was not in an especially dazzling condition, Wu Dawei’s brilliant display had filled the Cleveland people with confidence.
Houtu Ancestor Shaman seemed bewildered by Zhu Jiuyin’s sharp rebuke. She had not imagined one sentence from her own mouth could provoke such fury in her own elder brother, and yet the severe consequences Zhu Jiuyin spoke of made her afraid.
The Princess Consort had only recently risen; after drinking crocodile soup, she was half-reclining on the consort’s couch. The hearth in the chamber burned with open flames, making the room comfortably warm.
To buy time for moving infantry, evacuating personnel, and transporting oil, Zhang Zhizhong decided to accept the proposal from Xue Yue and Lin Zuoda, sending the First Armored Cavalry Army together with the British First Armored Division into the desert on the Kuwait-Iraq frontier to block the Soviet armored formations pushing southward.
Mengchang had been endlessly speculating in his mind for these past two months about what odd fortunes Jianyi must have met to explain such a sudden leap in strength, when he heard the shout. He stared for a long moment before realizing what had happened, then hurried to Jianyi’s side.
Mao Leyan turned away, hiding the disappointment in her eyes, and said softly, “When the time comes, I will speak.”
After a while, he would have to learn to accept that she was leaving. Why tell him now that she had returned, only to face, in half a year, another parting as final as life and death?
A swarm of online players, gleeful at another’s misfortune, all turned toward Hanmen’s side, wanting to see what Hanmen made of it.
As black strands of mist wrapped around him, He Qingchuan urged his flying sword to emit blade energy, trying to break and sever those dark threads. To his astonishment, even that blade energy could not master them; the strands flowed into it instead, and in an instant completely sealed the flying sword.
Hu Ximei had already noticed Lin Miao-chang standing idly by with folded arms. This white-robed demon spirit gave her a more terrifying impression than the former sect master. In the presence of Du Xianyang and Lin Miao-chang, Hu Ximei would never escape their clutches unless she resorted to some stratagem.
After coming down the stairs, Chen Yang was about to head toward the field when he suddenly saw Liu Changsheng emerge from the office building.
So these were spoken in perfect unison; the Five Elder Stars, the five men who possessed the highest power in the world and held dominion over it, all bent their waists and knees together and half-knelt on the ground.
After the performance ended, Lian Haiping at once returned to his original lodgings. Hu Ximei had already gone. He asked several spirit-beings of the Asura Demon Realm, and they all said they had not seen her for a long time. Lian Haiping sighed in relief: it seemed Hu Ximei had obeyed her master’s order and slipped back in secret to the Huyi Sect.
The island instantly began to split into four or five pieces. Vlad had become so terrifying that this island could no longer withstand him.
Han Yutong immediately bent to her exercise sheets and began writing, and Tan Xinrong moved beside her, eyeing the paper’s direction.
When Mr. and Mrs. Li Er heard that Wang Xingxin had sent them perfume, they still found a pretext to ask for ambergris as well. Ambergris in the Tang era was treasured beyond measure; even Li Er, though he was an emperor, had very little of it.
