"Sister-in-law, so is there any particular field you specialize in?"
After hitting a wall several times, Zhou Yan looked confused. For a moment, he really couldn't think of any other suitable job.
"Mmm…"
Longyue's expression was one of deep thought. She then counted on her fingers one by one:
"I have mastered various immortal arts from different sects, am proficient in artifact refinement and pill alchemy, have also conducted quite deep research in formations, know how to tame immortal beasts, am especially good at dealing with various kinds of demons, monsters, and evil beasts, and I also know a little about the way of slaughter. Does this count?"
Zhou Yan: "…"
Lin Fan: "…"
Hearing Longyue's self-description, Zhou Yan and Lin Fan couldn't help but fall silent.
Zhou Yan turned to Lin Fan with a shocked expression, his face seemingly asking, "What is sister-in-law talking about?"
"Hahaha, she's just joking."
Lin Fan offered an awkward smile and played it off with a casual laugh.
Longyue's fine brows furrowed slightly as she cast him a look of dissatisfaction.
She was clearly speaking the truth. She really was excellent in all those fields!
"So, does sister-in-law… not have any particular field she specializes in?"
Zhou Yan leaned closer to Lin Fan and asked in a low voice.
Lin Fan turned to look at Longyue. He pondered for a long time but was stuck and couldn't utter a single word.
If they were in the Immortal Demon Continent, with the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor, she was everything. Her special skills and strength were too numerous to be contained in a resume. But unfortunately, this was the Blue Star…
Having lost all her cultivation, she was just an ordinary human here. Without spiritual energy, she was like a most superb craftsman who had lost her hands, no longer able to show her talents.
After a moment of silence, Lin Fan whispered to Zhou Yan:
"Sister-in-law can eat a lot. Does that count as a special skill?"
Zhou Yan: "…"
Zhou Yan was speechless. It was then that he finally understood why Lin Fan had specifically invited him over for help.
Considering the sister-in-law's situation, it was truly difficult to find a job…
"Lin Fan, sister-in-law's situation is a bit special. There aren't many jobs suitable for her."
"But the good thing is, sister-in-law is very beautiful. How about we try letting her be one of those hostess-type waitresses?"
"I have a friend who manages a high-end restaurant. With sister-in-law's beauty, even without educational qualifications or experience, it wouldn't be a problem at all."
Zhou Yan pulled Lin Fan into a corner of the living room and discussed it in a low voice.
Lin Fan thought for a moment, glanced at Longyue who was sitting by the side, and after a moment's hesitation, still shook his head.
"No!"
"Why not?"
Zhou Yan was puzzled. Following Lin Fan's gaze looking at Longyue, he suddenly realized something.
"Oh~ you scoundrel, you're being selfish!"
"But as a man, I can completely understand you."
With that, a smile that seemed to see through everything emerged at the corner of Zhou Yan's mouth, and he nodded to himself.
A man, after all, would have his selfish motives.
Just think, if you had a wife as beautiful as a fairy, would you be willing to let her work as a waitress, dedicated to serving others?
If it were him, he wouldn't be willing either!
Lin Fan fell silent, which was considered tacit approval of Zhou Yan's words.
To be honest, he did have a bit of selfishness in his heart…
Of course, on the other hand, it was also because he felt that Longyue, as an empress, couldn't handle the job of serving others. This was something he had said before about looking for a job.
She couldn't work in the service industry, couldn't have educational requirements, and the job couldn't require technical skills. So the question is, does such a job even exist in this world?
It seemed there really was one!
"Lin Fan, I've thought it through carefully. The only job that might be suitable for sister-in-law is going into a factory…"
After repeated consideration, this was the only answer that could surface in Zhou Yan's mind.
Factories could be said to have the lowest entry barrier in the current world. As long as you are a person, they will accept you. You don't need to serve others, there are no educational requirements, and no technical skills are needed. Most positions just require hands.
"No! That absolutely must not happen!"
Lin Fan decisively refused without hesitation.
He knew better than anyone what kind of place the factory was.
That was absolutely not a place where humans could survive!
Once upon a time, in order to earn money for himself, he would look for jobs every winter and summer vacation. Once, he followed someone into a factory and experienced a level of hellish work he had never experienced before!
The speed of the assembly line was getting faster and faster. He worked twelve hours a day and hardly ever stopped for a break!
At that time, even he, who was quite capable of enduring, only lasted a month before resigning. How could Longyue, with her delicate body, handle it?
He was worried that on her first day in the factory, she would cry and shout to go home…
Just as Lin Fan and Zhou Yan were discussing quietly, they did not notice that Longyue had already quietly come up behind them and heard their conversation.
"Going into a factory? What kind of place is that? Can I go?"
Longyue's pretty face was full of curiosity as she peered out.
"No! Going into a factory is not as simple as you think."
Lin Fan refused decisively without hesitation.
He put a hand on Longyue's shoulder, his expression extremely serious.
"That place, to this day, has the infamous reputation for its deadly assembly lines and sunless ghost workshops. It is a place that devours people and doesn't even spit out the bones! It's far more terrifying than the Demon Realm!"
"Once you enter the factory, it will slowly suck away your spirit and energy, little by little, reducing you to a numb living dead person!"
"S-So terrifying…?!"
Longyue was startled to hear it, her beautiful face turning pale with fear.
From the Demon Sovereign's serious expression, it seemed he wasn't joking.
This was the first time she had heard that there was a place in the mortal world that could be more terrifying than the Demon Realm…
Rather than calling it a factory, it sounded more like a place where evil cultivators from the demonic path refined humans…
"Yan Zi, sister-in-law has been spoiled and privileged since she was young. She has delicate skin and tender flesh and cannot endure hardship. She absolutely cannot work in a factory."
After comforting Longyue, Lin Fan once again calmly rejected Zhou Yan's proposal.
"Spoiled and privileged…"
Zhou Yan's gaze carefully examined Longyue.
Seeing her ethereal temperament and exquisite skin and face, his expression was suspicious. He then turned to look at Lin Fan next to him.
Putting everything Lin Fan had just said together, he vaguely found that something wasn't right!
The sister-in-law was so beautiful, and her skin was so fine and tender. She didn't look like a child from an ordinary family at all…
She never went to school, never worked, and didn't even understand electronic products at all. There was only one answer when all these clues were combined!
The sister-in-law was a young lady from a prestigious and wealthy family!!
That's right! It must be!
The sister-in-law must have had a very strict education. Her parents' strict will of control forbade her from leaving the house and coming into contact with others, so she could only stay at home all day. This must be the reason why she never went to school and didn't understand modern electronic devices, yet had such a perfect temperament and demeanor!
Suffering from confinement all day, she was like a bird in a cage, longing for freedom. Then one day, she met his brother, Lin Fan, and fell in love with him!
Lin Fan secretly led her out of her home without her parents' knowledge. The two, disregarding everything, embarked on the road to elope!
For their future survival, Lin Fan had to borrow money from him, and the sister-in-law had to look for a job to support the family!
It all connected!
Makes sense! It makes perfect sense!
How beautiful and free this love was!
Having figured it all out, Zhou Yan was moved to the point of tears. He earnestly patted Lin Fan's shoulder.
"Brother! I understand everything now!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a good job to introduce to sister-in-law!"
"Also, you two must be happy!"
Longyue: "…"
Lin Fan: "…"
Seeing Zhou Yan suddenly starting to cry to himself, Longyue and Lin Fan looked at each other in confusion, both with blank expressions.
Why was this person suddenly crying…
What exactly did he understand?
