Lightning Is the Only Way

"Oh? You once worked for The Heaven Company?" Gravis asked.

"Yeah," Jake answered. "It's a pretty good workplace. However, the pay and amount of work depend on your power."

"The stronger you are, the more you're getting paid, and the amount of work also reduces at some point. The ones that have to work the most are slightly above-average Peak Immortal Emperors since they have to oversee the fights of all the average Peak Immortal Emperors."

Jake smiled bitterly. "Sadly, I fall exactly into that category. Because of that, I basically got worked to the bone. The pay was still good, don't get me wrong, but there are other jobs out there that pay more for less work."

"Is that why you went to the Smart Cultivator?" Gravis asked.

Jake nodded. "I know a lot of Laws of many different categories, but they don't increase my strength by much. In The Heaven Company, only strength matters. Because of that, these Laws I know were basically useless."

"In the Smart Cultivator, knowing these Laws is important to give the customers a good consultation. I've already earned enough money to buy resources to comprehend several level six Laws and even a level seven Law. The only thing I need is time."

Jake looked at Yersi with a smile. "However, I wanted to wait with my comprehension until Yersi becomes an Immortal Emperor. I don't want to enter closed-door Cultivation just to see that Yersi has become estranged to me due to the time."

Yersi smiled sweetly at Jake, but there was also some guilt in her smile.

Yersi knew that she was keeping Jake from reaching the Star God Realm right now.

That wasn't even everything. It was possible that Jake even had to go through an additional tribulation due to the wasted time, which could kill him.

Jake was making all of these sacrifices for her, and Yersi loved him for that.

Jake was showing how important Yersi was to him.

Both of them loved each other dearly.

"Thank you, Jake," Gravis said. "I'm happy that Yersi found someone like you."

"No problem. It's also what I want," Jake said as he looked at Yersi with dreamy eyes.

Jake and Yersi just looked at each other for a while.

PACK!

"Ah, I'm so envious!" Stella shouted playfully as she grabbed Gravis' free arm.

"Hey, you have me! I won't lose out to Jake!" Gravis said in an offended tone.

"You?" Stella asked with a skeptical expression. "Are you sure?"

Gravis was taken aback.

Stella only chuckled.

Then, Gravis calmed down again.

"Okay, you got me," he said helplessly with a chuckle.

"Hey, shoo, shoo!" Yersi said as she shooed Stella away. "He's my dad! You can have him later!"

Stella looked at Yersi with a smirk. "He technically has six arms. There are enough arms for all of us."

"I want four of the arms," Yersi argued.

"Four? How greedy can you be!?" Stella asked in shock.
