Chapter 46 – Ancestors

"Are you kidding me, my dear Lord of Evil?"

"What do you think?"

"I think even if you're a god of evil, you wouldn't do something like feeding a cat with oil-splashed noodles and garlic."

Karun reached out and petted Puerh's head. Puerh rolled her eyes at him.

"It looks good, much better than I expected."

Why does society always emphasize inner beauty? Because fundamentally, this is a society that judges by appearance.

"I was even better-looking than her back then," Puerh stubbornly insisted.

"Do you have any photos?"

"They hadn't invented cameras back then, but I should have some murals."

"Where are they?"

"Let me think... they should be preserved in the underground dungeon of the Allen Castle."

"Allen?"

"That's my family name."

"Cat demon family? Oh no, demon family?"

"If I were to describe the Inmores family as a demon family, would you be happy?"

"I have no prejudice against demons," Karun said.

"You can understand it as a family that is larger, more populous, and has a longer heritage than the Inmores family. To show you respect, I didn't use the word 'ants' to compare the Inmores family and my family."

"Okay." Karun nodded. "So, is it extinct now?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Because those who like to use 'ants' to contrast their own great family usually disappeared in the long river of history."

"Damn it, I'm starting to suspect that Dis buried one dead grandson when he went to Bellwin last time, and then brought another lost twin grandson back home. You know, sometimes the tone you use when talking to me is just like young Dis."

"But the last 'Karun', I didn't like him. And I don't like Lunt, either. I always feel like they're not good enough to be served at the banquet table."

"Okay."

"So, sometimes I can understand why Dis likes you so much. You know, there is actually a kind of inheritance in this world that is even more valued and closer than bloodline inheritance."

"I understand."

"Do you really understand?"

"Yeah."

Karun knew that Puerh was referring to the transmission of the mantle.

"But now the problem is that Dis doesn't seem to have any plans to let me join the church. He seems more interested in arranging a marriage for me and having children. I can understand the old man's expectations for the family to grow, but I think it's too soon."

Puerh tilted her head in confusion. "You just need to be comfortable. Why should you suffer? Even after the child is born, you can hand it over to Dis or Mary to take care of. Mary will definitely say, 'Oh my God, another child to raise!' But trust me, she will still take care of it wholeheartedly. Dis has always had a good eye for choosing daughters-in-law."

"What about Aunt?"

"Winnie? Don't be fooled by her gentle appearance now. She was very rebellious when she was young and successfully broke free from Dis's 'restraints' and 'claws' to pursue her own happiness. Then her marriage fell apart, and she got divorced."

"That's a sad story."It's hard to imagine that the aunt who has been managing the family's finances and speaking and acting steadily now also had the courage to break the feudal patriarchal system and pursue happiness in the past.

Karun washed his hands and wiped them with a towel.

Puerh continued to follow him and said, "I think the lady downstairs is very nice."

"I don't think anyone is doubting that."

"No, no, no, I mean her temperament, her temperament makes me very comfortable."

"She hasn't even entered the house, and you feel her temperament? Is it the cat's exclusive intuition?"

"This is the sharp gaze of an elder, you know!"

"Okay, okay." Karun started to go downstairs.

Puerh followed him down the stairs and said, "This kind of lady with a good temperament is suitable for giving birth."

When Karun heard this, he opened his arms and said, "I heard that bigger butts are more suitable."

"That's shallow! Only healthy babies can be born!"

"Only?"

"Yes, only babies with a physique that are more suitable for receiving purification and easier to attract the power of faith should be born. That's a good baby."

"Your way of thinking..."

"So, no problem, I think you can take her and let her give birth to your child! The bloodline of the Inmoleis family, the bloodline of Dis, and you, it's a shame not to pass it on."

Karun stopped and looked at Puerh and asked, "You're not married, are you?"

"I'm just a cat now, how can I get married?"

"What I mean is, when you were a human, you never got married, right?"

"Uh..."

"You've never been in love or liked someone of the opposite sex, right?"

"Uh...shut up!"

"I knew you hadn't."

"Do you know how many people wanted to pursue me back then? I was a legend, the dream lover of many young men."

"But you still never fell in love."

"I..."

"So, in your eyes, when a man and a woman are together, it's just for the purpose of having children?"

"Shouldn't it be? Is it for love?"

"Okay, I can't convince you."

Karun felt that perhaps Puerh had been a cat for too long and had transformed the concept of "love" into the same as "mating" in her mind; coupled with the subjective influence when cats and dogs are bred, she was affected.

"I'm doing this for your own good, believe me, Karun, that lady's temperament is really different."

"Are you saying she's a demon?"

"She's not a demon, I can guarantee that, but her appearance makes me feel very comfortable and pleasing. People like her must have a very high spiritual nature."

Puerh jumped directly onto Karun's shoulder and slapped his face with her paw, "She can give birth to excellent offspring of evil gods for you!!!"

Karun reached out and pulled the inexplicably excited black cat off him and threw her aside, "You're even more like an old grandma who only likes to stare at girls' butts than those foreign grandmas who only like to stare at girls' butts."

Puerh, who fell on the stairs, shouted, "In terms of age, I'm much older than her foreign grandma's foreign grandma."

"Have you ever given birth?" Karun asked.

"No.""So your family ended because you didn't have any outstanding offspring?"

"My family doesn't lack an offspring like me! Damn it! My family has a lot of people. You should worry about Inmores!"

Karun waved his hand, too lazy to deal with this cat.

He walked out of the living room and into the yard. At this time, the lady in the black long dress had already opened the door and came in by herself. When she saw Karun, she apologized:

"I'm sorry. I thought no one was home, so I opened the door and came in to take a look."

"I should be the one apologizing. I didn't come out to greet you in time. You are Miss Yunes, Mina's teacher, right?"

"Yes, I'm Mina's math teacher. Are you Mina's brother?"

"Yes, you can call me Karun."

"Okay, Karun."

"Please come in."

"Thank you."

"Mina never told me that her math teacher was so beautiful."

"Mina also never told me that she has such a handsome brother."

"Please sit down."

"Okay, thank you."

"Coffee or tea?"

"Iced water, is that okay?"

"Sure, please wait."

Karun went upstairs to get ice cubes from the kitchen fridge. Puerh, who was still lying on the handrail of the stairs, looked at him and said:

"Iced water, two glasses of iced water, hmm."

Puerh knew that Karun didn't like to drink tea or coffee on weekdays, only iced water.

Karun ignored the cat and went upstairs to pour two glasses of iced water and came back down.

Miss Yunes was standing in front of a wall painting, admiring it. After hearing Karun's footsteps coming down the stairs, she turned around and smiled:

"I like the decoration atmosphere here."

Puerh on the stairs heard this and muttered softly, "You should also like the basement."

Karun handed her a glass of iced water and said, "Religious elements have a calming effect on people's hearts."

"Yes, that's right. I think this should be the most attractive aspect of religion. It can build a house for our spiritual world... a house that belongs only to ourselves."

"You described it so accurately. No wonder you are a top psychology student at Roja University."

Hmm?

Top psychology student at Roja University?

Karun instantly understood.

His aunt had lied about his education when recommending a blind date for him.

And most likely, she had also lied about his age.

Although it was not a problem to say that he was a top psychology student, and his inner age was not low, but...

"Maybe there is some misunderstanding. I am interested in psychology, but I have never been to college. Last year, due to some psychological problems, I dropped out of high school.

Also, did they tell you how old I am?"

"Nineteen."

"I'm sixteen."

Karun didn't hide the fact that he was underage, because he felt that he was honest enough.

"I really can't tell. You give me a very calm feeling, like you are older than me. Oh no, I'm not saying that you look old. Actually, now I can feel that you are still very young."

"I don't like to measure a person's age by the length of their life. I prefer to use the thickness of their life to represent their true age.""Yes, that makes sense."

"Are you from Wien?"

"Yes, I'm from Wien. But my mother was from Rulan."

"Why did you become a teacher in Roja?"

"My grandmother passed away, and my mother was heartbroken. She wanted to stay in her childhood home for a while. I had just graduated from college, so I found a job as a teacher in Roja."

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. I never met my grandmother, and when we received news of her passing, my mother and I rushed back, but she had already been buried." Younis looked around and pointed to the embalming table in the living room. "Her coffin was probably placed there."

Her grandmother's funeral was probably held at the Inmores' house.

Karun said, "She was a very kind old lady."

Although he didn't remember her.

"Have you had lunch yet? Would you like to have lunch with me?"

"Is that not too much trouble?"

"No, not at all."

Karun led Younis upstairs.

Puerh was still lying on the armrest.

Younis approached and took Puerh in her arms. "What a cute cat. Her fur is so smooth."

Karun was surprised that Puerh didn't seem to mind being held by Younis.

Puerh seemed to notice Karun's gaze and used her paw to tap Younis's chest before giving Karun a look.

Karun thought the cat was crazy today.

Thank goodness he knew she was a female cat, or he might have thrown her out.

"You sit first. It'll be ready soon."

"Do you need any help?"

"Later, I just need you to taste it."

"Okay, thank you."

Younis put Puerh on the table and subconsciously propped her cheek with her hand, looking at Karun in the kitchen.

Puerh also crawled up to Younis's face, looked at Karun, and then at Younis.

She thought, "See, you're hooked. As long as you're good-looking enough, it doesn't matter if you dropped out of high school or if you're younger than her. Shallow humans."

Karun brought out a pot of sour fish and put it on the table. "What dish is this? I've never seen it before. Hmm, it smells so good," Younis asked.

"Sour fish. It's an appetizer."

"I really want to taste it right away."

"No, it's not for us. It's for her." Karun pointed to Puerh on the table.

Puerh's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Karun took out a bandana and tied it around Puerh's neck. Then he pushed the bowl of sour fish in front of Puerh and reminded her, "Be careful, it's hot."

Puerh looked at Karun, then at Younis, and thought, "What are you waiting for? It's your honor to have a child for the evil god!"

Karun brought out two bowls of noodles from the kitchen, with chili oil and other seasonings on top.

"Do you need to mix it?" Younis asked curiously.

"No, wait a minute."

Karun scooped out a large spoonful of hot oil from the kitchen and poured it into Younis's bowl, then into his own bowl.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

For those who love noodles, this sound is the true sound of heaven."I'll help you mix it."

Karun used chopsticks to help Unis mix the noodles.

"What kind of utensil is this?"

"These are chopsticks. I'm used to eating with them."

"It looks novel and convenient, and it's also exquisite."

Karun originally made bamboo chopsticks himself, but Alfred later made himself ten pairs of silver chopsticks in the same style.

"Do you want to try it?"

"I do."

"Here you go."

Unis picked up the chopsticks, and to Karun's surprise, although she seemed a little unskilled, she successfully sent the noodles into her mouth.

"It's delicious. I like the taste and texture. I heard from your aunt that you enjoy cooking."

"Yes, I think a happy life can never be without good food."

"I also enjoy tasting different cuisines. There are many restaurants with international flavors in Vienna, and I like to try them."

"Trust me, those restaurants definitely don't make authentic dishes."

Karun also sat down and started eating noodles.

Unis took a bite, looked at Karun for a while, and then took another bite.

Puerh, who was eating fish, looked up and saw this scene. It silently pushed the garlic it had peeled with its cat paws in front of Unis.

"What's this?"

Unis saw the garlic pushed in front of her by the cat.

Karun picked up a clove and bit off half of it, chewing it as he swallowed a mouthful of noodles.

Ah, garlic is always the best companion for noodles.

"Is this a pairing?"

"Yes."

Unis followed Karun's example and took a bite, but she was immediately overwhelmed by the spiciness and instinctively used the noodles to suppress the heat since there was no water nearby.

"It's really spicy."

After a while, Unis recovered and looked at the remaining half of the garlic in her hand. She put it in the noodles and then wrapped the noodles around it before putting it in her mouth.

"Mm, I think I'm starting to like this feeling."

"Me too."

Karun looked at Unis and said.

Puerh suddenly felt that the large pot of fragrant fish in front of it was no longer appetizing. It quietly took another garlic clove with its paw and took a bite.

"Meow!!!"

After finishing the noodles, Unis insisted on cleaning up the dishes, and Karun agreed.

Next, the two sat face to face and chatted naturally.

Mostly, Unis was talking, and Karun was listening and agreeing. After all, making the other person let down their guard and open up for a pleasant conversation was Karun's specialty.

From their conversation, Karun learned that Unis's family must be very wealthy. She said she was injured while riding a horse in her backyard when she was a child, which meant her family had an estate with a stable in York City, the capital of Vienna.

She said she was living on Rhine Street now to keep her mother company, and they didn't even bother renting a place. They just bought a house in the upscale area of Roja City on Rhine Street.

When they talked about art, she gave several examples, such as the dress and paintings appreciated by the queen and princess, which meant she could often see the queen and princess of Vienna, not just catch a glimpse of them from afar during ceremonies.You should know that, unlike the Rui Lan royal family who fell to the point of endorsing clothing brands, the royal family of the Vein country still enjoys great political influence.

During the chat, Puerh kept hanging her head and watching:

"How much longer are you going to chat?"

"How can you still keep chatting?"

"Why don't you go to the bedroom on the third floor and play a fun game of poker?"

And...

"Why not try to create a baby to add interactive topics?"

Ah, the smell on this lady makes me feel so comfortable. I really want to see you with a big belly and give birth to a spiritual baby for me to play with.

As the evening approached, Yunesi looked out the window and said in surprise:

"I'm really sorry, it's already so late. I usually don't talk so much. I don't know why I can't help but talk to you today."

Puerh blinked her eyes: because you're attracted to him!

"I'm also very happy to chat with you. It's really a pleasant thing."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

"Yes, I think so too."

Yunesi looked at Karun and then took out a pink wallet from her women's bag:

"This is the gift I gave to Mina."

"Okay, thank you. I will express Mina's gratitude to you."

Karun placed the pink wallet on the dining table and accompanied Yunesi downstairs to send her off to the roadside to take a taxi.

Hmm, it's not that Karun didn't want to drive the lady home, although the family just got a new car...

After watching Yunesi leave in a taxi, Karun turned around and walked upstairs to the second floor.

On the dining table, Puerh was fiddling with the pink wallet with a unique logo.

Karun picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and asked:

"What brand is it?"

Puerh raised her head blankly and looked at Karun:

"My foreign grandmother's foreign grandmother, foreign grandmother's foreign grandmother...

No,

Dis,

Damn it,

Dis did it on purpose, it must be intentional, everything was arranged by Dis, damn it!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"You can't touch her, Karun, absolutely not!

I beg you, please, please don't touch her!

Great evil god,

you must stay away from her, forever!!!"

"Is there something wrong with your brain today?" Karun asked in confusion, "Do you want me to take you to the pet hospital?"

Puerh pointed to the special mark on the pink wallet in front of her with her paw and shouted:

"This Miss Yunesi... she is a descendant of my family!!!"
