You Two Must Be Happy!

"Sister-in-law, is there any field you're particularly good at?"

After hitting wall after wall, Zhou Yan looked troubled. For the moment, he truly could not think of any other suitable jobs.

"Um..."

Long Yue pondered for a moment, then began counting on her fingers.

"I've mastered countless immortal arts from every sect, am proficient in artifact refining and pill refining, and have also studied formations. I know how to tame immortal beasts, am especially skilled at dealing with all kinds of demons and evil beasts, and know a thing or two about the art of killing. Do those count?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

Lin Fan: "..."

Listening to Long Yue's self-assessment, Zhou Yan and Lin Fan both fell silent.

Zhou Yan turned to Lin Fan in astonishment, his expression seeming to ask, "What is sister-in-law talking about?"

"Ha ha ha, she's joking."

Lin Fan gave an awkward laugh and casually brushed it off.

Long Yue furrowed her delicate brows slightly and shot him a dissatisfied glare.

Everything she had said was true. She really was skilled in all kinds of fields!

"So sister-in-law... doesn't have any field she's especially good at?" Zhou Yan leaned close to Lin Fan and asked softly.

Lin Fan turned to look at Long Yue and thought seriously for a long while, yet he could not force out a single word.

Back on the Immortal-Demon Continent, with her Immortal Emperor cultivation, she had been capable of anything. Her talents and strengths had been so numerous that even a résumé could not hold them all. Unfortunately, this was Blue Star...

Having lost all her cultivation, she was now merely a mortal. Without spiritual power, she was like the finest craftsman deprived of both arms, no longer able to display her talents.

After a brief silence, Lin Fan quietly asked Zhou Yan,

"Your sister-in-law can eat quite a lot. Does that count as a special talent?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

Zhou Yan fell silent. At that moment, he finally understood why Lin Fan had specifically asked him to come help.

Given his sister-in-law's situation, finding her a job really was difficult...

"Lin Fan, sister-in-law's situation is a little unusual. There aren't many jobs suitable for her."

"But luckily, she's very beautiful. How about having her work as one of those image-based service staff?"

"A friend of mine runs a high-end restaurant. With sister-in-law's looks, it wouldn't be a problem even if she had no education or experience."

Zhou Yan pulled Lin Fan into a corner of the living room and discussed it with him in a low voice.

Lin Fan considered it for a moment, glanced at Long Yue sitting nearby, and ultimately shook his head after some hesitation.

"No!"

"Why not?"

Zhou Yan did not understand. Following Lin Fan's gaze toward Long Yue, he suddenly came to a realization.

"Oh~ You brat, you're selfish!"

"But as a man, I can understand that."

With that, Zhou Yan wore a smile as though he had seen through everything and nodded to himself.

Men all had their selfish desires.

Just think about it. If you had a wife as beautiful as a fairy, would you really be willing to let her work as a server, tending to others all day?

If it were him, he would not be willing either!

Lin Fan remained silent, tacitly acknowledging Zhou Yan's words.

To be honest, he did have a tiny bit of selfishness in his heart...

Of course, more importantly, he felt that Long Yue, as the Empress, could not possibly handle a job serving others. She had already made that clear while looking for work earlier.

She could not work in the service industry, could not take a job with educational requirements, and could not do work requiring technical skills. So the question was, did such a job even exist in this world?

It seemed there really was one!

"Lin Fan, I've thought it over carefully. The only job suitable for sister-in-law might be working in a factory..."

After repeated consideration, Zhou Yan could only arrive at that answer.

Factories could be said to have the lowest barriers to entry in the world today. As long as you were a person, they would take you. You did not need to serve anyone, there were no educational requirements, and no technical skills were needed. For most positions, having hands was enough.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Lin Fan rejected it decisively without a second thought.

He knew better than anyone what kind of place a factory was.

It was simply not a place meant for humans!

Back when he had worked to support himself, he would look for jobs every winter and summer break. Once, he had followed others into a factory and experienced a hellish job unlike anything before!

The assembly line moved faster and faster each time. He worked twelve hours a day and barely had any time to stop and rest!

Even he, who could endure hardship extremely well, had only lasted a month before grabbing his bucket and running away. Let alone Long Yue, with her frail little body.

She would probably be crying and begging to go home on her very first day in the factory...

While Lin Fan and Zhou Yan were secretly discussing it, they had no idea that Long Yue had already quietly come up behind them and overheard their conversation.

"Working in a factory? What kind of place is that? Can I go?"

Long Yue poked her head over, her lovely face filled with curiosity.

"No! Working in a factory isn't as simple as you imagine."

Lin Fan sternly refused without hesitation. He grabbed Long Yue by the shoulders, his expression incomparably serious.

"That place is infamous for its deadly assembly lines and pitch-black ghost workshops. It's a place that devours people without even spitting out their bones! It's far more terrifying than the demon realm!"

"Once you enter a factory, it will slowly drain away your spirit and vitality bit by bit, turning you into a numb, walking corpse!"

"I-It's that scary...?!"

Long Yue was shocked by his words, her face draining of color in fright.

Judging from the Demon Supreme's serious expression, he did not seem to be joking.

It was the first time she had heard of a place in the mortal world that was even more terrifying than the demon realm...

Rather than a factory, it sounded more like a place where Demonic Dao evil cultivators refined people...

"Yanzi, your sister-in-law was pampered from childhood. She's delicate and soft-skinned and can't endure hardship. She absolutely can't work in a factory."

After persuading Long Yue, Lin Fan once again quietly rejected Zhou Yan's suggestion.

"Pampered from childhood..."

Zhou Yan carefully examined Long Yue. Looking at her ethereal temperament and beautiful, flawless skin, he appeared suspicious, then turned to look at Lin Fan beside him.

Putting together everything Lin Fan had said, he vaguely noticed that something was off!

His sister-in-law was so beautiful, and her skin was so smooth and delicate. She clearly did not look like a child from an ordinary family...

She had never attended school, never held a job, and did not even understand electronic products. When all the clues were connected, there was only one answer!

His sister-in-law was a young lady from an aristocratic family!!

That was right! It had to be so!

His sister-in-law must have been the kind of young lady with an extremely strict upbringing, whose parents' controlling nature kept her from leaving home or interacting with others. She could only remain at home all day. That was why she had never gone to school, did not understand modern electronic devices, yet possessed such perfect grace and refinement!

Imprisoned all day, she had longed for freedom like a bird in a cage. Then one day, she met his brother Lin Fan and fell in love with him!

Lin Fan secretly took her away from her parents, and the two of them ignored everything else as they embarked on the path of eloping together!

For the sake of their future survival, Lin Fan had no choice but to borrow money from him, while sister-in-law had no choice but to find work to support their household!

Everything connected!

Reasonable! Extremely reasonable!

What a great and free love this was!

Having figured everything out, Zhou Yan was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He solemnly patted Lin Fan on the shoulder.

"Brother! I understand everything now!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find a good job for sister-in-law!"

"And you two must be happy!"

Long Yue: "..."

Lin Fan: "..."

Watching Zhou Yan suddenly start crying to himself, Long Yue and Lin Fan looked at each other, both utterly bewildered.

Why was this guy suddenly crying...

What exactly had he understood?
