"Are you a descendant of your family?"
"Yes." Puerh replied firmly, "So, I finally understand why I had a good impression of her when I first met her. She has the same bloodline as me."
"Hehehe."
Karun laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"They say that the further the generation, the closer the kinship. How many generations have you been separated?"
"It's not easy to count. Who knows how many generations older than her next generation will be?"
"No, you misunderstood me. Who was the one who urged me to lie down comfortably and have a baby?"
"You...shut up!"
"Have you ever been a great-great-great-great-grandmother like this?"
"You...shut up!"
Karun put his hands on the table, reached out, lightly hooked Puerh's chin, and shook her head slightly.
Puerh didn't mind this frivolous move, but was curious, "Why did you believe what I said so easily?"
"Because."
"Don't you want to ask me why I am so sure, just based on the family emblem on the gift wallet?"
"No need to ask."
"You didn't even go through the process?"
"The blind date partner that Dis agreed to was a descendant of your family. Is that strange?"
"Uh..." Puerh shook her head, "There is a feeling of being taken for granted."
"Yes, so there is nothing strange. If you say it, I will believe it. But why did you ask me so excitedly to stay away from her just now? Is there a genetic disease in your family? Or is there a curse that comes with your family? Or...will people in your family turn into cats like you when they reach a certain age?"
Puerh shook her head and said, "I turned into a cat because of my own reasons. I had a rift with my family a long time ago because of some things, and then I met some people and had some accidents, so I could only be a cat for so long. Although my family is a bit mysterious, as far as I know, there is no genetic disease or curse."
"Then why did you warn me so excitedly to stay away from your descendant?"
"I..."
Puerh didn't know what to say.
Then, it saw Karun laughing.

Puerh silently lowered her head, and even showed a pleasing expression on her face.
Karun reached out and touched the cat's head. Puerh rarely took the initiative to rub against him and said, "The sour and spicy fish today is really delicious. I will probably dream about it tonight.""Because I am a demon god, you are afraid that I will bring trouble and misfortune to your family."
"..." Puerh.
When Karun said this, he was very calm.
Puerh raised her head in shame and looked at Karun.
Earlier, she had spoken in haste due to her emotional excitement. But now, she suddenly felt that warning him for this reason seemed to be a loss of dignity, and she felt very guilty.
Moreover, he had given himself the sour fish to eat today, and he had eaten oil-splashed noodles with his blind date.
If he were easily fooled, it would be great, but he always seemed to be able to sensitively capture people's thoughts.
"I understand. It's okay. You are yourself, and your family is your family. Even after a hundred years, family is still an indelible symbol in the depths of the heart." Karun continued to rub Puerh's head. "But this matter, it seems that my opinion doesn't count."
"Ah, my descendant must be interested in you. I think that most women in the world would want to take you to bed without regrets after talking to you for a long time while looking at your face."
"That's not what I meant. I was referring to Dis."
"Oh, right, Dis!"
Puerh raised her head again. "What did I say before? Dis must know!"
Karun felt that Puerh might have been a cat for too long, which caused her thinking to exhibit a single cycle, that is, she could only say or do one thing and couldn't take care of other things.
This was normal. Her state was like being in prison. For so many years, besides being able to talk to Dis and herself, prolonged isolation could easily cause one to lose some communicative and expansive thinking.
"Is your family still in Vienna and very wealthy?"
"In my time, my family wasn't that wealthy. In fact, paper wealth is often not a big deal, like Morv that night. This doesn't mean that my family has been developing better and better in the past hundred years. It can even be speculated that they... have been doing worse and worse. It has gotten to the point where they need to accompany the old ladies of the Vienna royal family to have afternoon tea."
"Even the public toilets that haven't been cleaned for a long time won't smell like canned sardines."
"You're right, so what is Dis's purpose then..."
The person and the cat at the dining table fell silent.
"Will you ask Dis?" Karun looked at Puerh.
"In fact, Dis is not an easy person to get along with." Puerh replied, "It has been like this since childhood. Anything he decides to do cannot be changed."
"Understood.""Of course, maybe it's different for you. He's always special to you," Puerh gave a bitter smile. "Of course, maybe it's because you're also special."
At that moment, the doorbell rang downstairs.
The Yimmerlace family had a doorbell specially set up for guests, with a sign on it.
But Miss Eunice did not use it earlier. After all, she was not a pure "guest," and it seemed inappropriate to call the host in this way.
Karun went downstairs and found an old lady standing at the door, with Mrs. Seymour supporting her.
"Hello, ma'am."
"Hello." The old lady looked a little haggard.
"Hello, Mrs. Seymour."
"Hello, Karun. This is Mrs. Modes, Mr. Modes just passed away, and we need to give him a decent and appropriate funeral."
This is the power of word of mouth. Obviously, Mrs. Seymour introduced them to the family.
For a long time, half of the Yimmerlace family's real profitable business was actually operated by this kind of "word of mouth."
"I'm sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences."
Mrs. Modes nodded.
"Please sit down."
Karun arranged for them to sit down, and then went to make tea, without asking their preferences.
Because it can be observed that Mrs. Modes is not a strong-willed person, and she is in the midst of grieving for her husband. At this time, the "customer" with a conservative personality needs not one choice after another, but someone who can sit there and give suggestions while helping her make decisions.
Therefore,
When discussing funeral details and arrangements, including venue layout and coffin selection,
Karun's concluding remarks were:
"Is this okay with you?"
"Is this selection suitable for you?"
"Does this style meet the needs of you and your husband?"
Mrs. Modes only needed to answer, "Hmm," "Yes," or "Okay."
Some customers with strong personalities are very averse to this situation where salespeople forcibly add on. This will stimulate their rebellious psychology, which has nothing to do with rationality or irrationality, just like some people simply cannot stand the taste of cilantro, but they are not allergic to it.
And some people are more suitable for this way, perhaps related to family life or simply having a soft ear. If you force her to choose between "A" and "B," she will feel very distressed."To deal with different customers, different sales strategies are needed;
It's not just about making the sale, after all, even if it was Ron who negotiated this deal, it probably wouldn't fall through with Mrs. Seymour personally leading the way for the elderly lady.
But it can make the contact between both parties shorter and make the elderly lady feel more comfortable.
The quality of service has actually been reflected since earlier.
After everything was settled,
Mrs. Modis breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the sofa, then realized her sitting posture was inappropriate and immediately sat up straight again, saying:
"Thank you, young man."
"You're welcome. Later, we will send someone to pick up your husband and if you have any other ideas or needs, you can call us anytime. In any case, we will arrange everything for you."
"Thank you."
"I can feel from our conversation that Mr. Modis is a very serious person."
"Yes, he always has a stern face outside and his subordinates are all afraid of him. Sometimes he also worries and often asks me: Am I really that scary?"
"How did you answer?"
"I said, oh, do you know how I've been with you all these years? Haha."
"Haha."
Then, Karun took the opportunity to start providing psychological counseling to Mrs. Modis.
He tried to make her feel that her husband was just sleeping and that they were just staying at the Inmoleis family's hotel, helping her get out of her grief.
This was actually a bit self-deceiving because the pain of losing a loved one cannot be eliminated by half an hour or an hour of conversation. But it could make her sleep more peacefully during this busy period of receiving relatives and friends for the funeral.
During this time, Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie also returned. They actually wanted to ask Karun about the results of his blind date today, but seeing him chatting with a customer, they conscientiously went upstairs without disturbing him.
Finally,
Mrs. Modis took the initiative to stand up: "Thank you, young man."
"Don't worry, everything will be arranged properly."
"I believe it, and my husband believes it too."
Mrs. Seymour helped Mrs. Modis leave. When they left, Mrs. Seymour even gave Karun a slight nod.
Karun responded with a smile.
After seeing off the customer, Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie almost simultaneously appeared in the living room.
Before they could ask about the results, Karun directly spread his hands and said:"Aunt, I left the order form on the coffee table. Please call the supplier and request immediate delivery.
Auntie, please call Uncle back. I'm afraid he will stay at the crematorium with Paul drinking until late tonight, but I promised Mrs. Modis to bring her husband back to our house tonight."
"This is not urgent..." Aunt Winnie said.
"Yes, let's not rush this..." Aunt Mary added.
Karun said, "B grade package."
"I'll contact the supplier."
"I'll call that dead ghost and tell him to come back soon!"
Phew...
Karun breathed a sigh of relief.
He was responsible for dinner and made a few simple dishes: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mushroom and pork slices, and stir-fried pig ears with two types of noodles. The main course was pancake, which he made in the family oven. The crispy outer layer was cut open by Karun with a knife, allowing everyone to make their own "roujiamo" with the side dishes. The soup was a delicious vegetable and tofu soup. Actually, making tofu at home was quite simple if you didn't consider selling it.
In order to fulfill Mrs. Modis' order, everyone in the family was busy, while Karun took an early bath after dinner and returned to his bedroom.
He turned on the desk lamp and took out the book "Light of Order" to continue reading. After about an hour, Karun closed the book and took out a piece of paper.
He first drew a circle, then drew his own face next to it. Because he had studied painting in his past life for a while, although he couldn't make a living from it and his skills were not outstanding, it was already considered delicate in the eyes of ordinary people.
He drew a line down from the circle and drew a house at the end of the line. Then he drew an abstract altar next to the line and a person beside it.
Finally, he drew another circle in the corner and labeled it "Vien". Then he drew a girl's image on the circle, which was Yoonis.
The Puerh family must have a relationship with the Inmores family, which should have lasted for many years. After all, when Dis was still a child, Puerh had already become a pet cat of the Inmores family. Before it became a cat, it had actually had dealings with the family.
This drawing was simple and clear, and there was no need to deliberately analyze or show off high intelligence.Circle your own avatar, then go to Wien or go to Yoonis.
Dis,
This is preparing for oneself.
Because of the change in one's identity or the uncontrollable spread of the god descent ceremony?
Although Puerh's family is said to be no better or worse off than a hundred years ago, this family is still a prominent presence in Wien.
In Roja City, the Morf family, which has some influence in the conglomerate, is not qualified to touch this family in Wien.
First of all, the size of the two countries is completely different, and Rulan is to some extent a vassal state of Wien;
Secondly, there is already a huge gap between the newly rising families that rely solely on wealth and those noble families with a long heritage, and this gap will only be greater in this world with "divine power," even to an exaggerated extent.
After all, Mr. Morf can only "adopt" a female follower on the edge of the Mills Church as his lover, but a hundred years ago, the elders of the Yoonis family could turn into a cat!
The most important thing is that this cat can actually live so long, it can be called a cat fossil.
Therefore, if one goes to Wien and is protected by the Yoonis family, one can ensure safety to some extent.
However...
Karun frowned.
Why does it feel like he's "marrying in"?
Isn't he becoming a "son-in-law" directly?
Karun subconsciously turned the pen in his hand. He was very conflicted;
He cherishes this family, and he hopes that Dis, Uncle, Aunt, and Lunt can continue to live here peacefully and harmoniously;
It's true that people are selfish, but family affection is also a kind of selfishness;
Therefore, if he needs to become a "son-in-law" to ensure the safety of the Inmores family because of his own reasons, he actually won't resist it too much.
They treat him as family, so he naturally volunteers to take responsibility for his family.
However,
What is Dis's idea?
At this moment,
The bedroom door opened, and Lunt poked his head out:
"Brother, Grandpa is calling you to the study."
"Okay."
The study door was not closed, and Karun knocked on the door and then pushed it open.
To Karun's surprise,
Dis tonight was not writing with a pen on the desk as usual,
He was comfortably sitting in a chair, holding a teacup in his hand.
"Grandpa."Karun sat down naturally in front of Dis.
"That young lady came this afternoon, right?"
"Yes, she did."
"Okay."
Dis nodded and held a teacup in one hand while opening his other hand.
"Order - Cage."
"Hmm?"
At that moment, a black cat who had been eavesdropping outside the study was thrown out.
Dis continued speaking:
"How do you feel about her?"
"She's very beautiful, has a good personality, and is well-cultured."
"Do you like her?" Dis asked.
"What kind of liking are you referring to, Grandfather? If it's about a man having feelings for a woman, then yes, I do like her."
"That's good."
Dis nodded slightly and opened his hand again.
"Order - Cage."
The black cat, who had returned sneakily, was now captured and moved to the chandelier in the living room.
"'Allen' is Puerh's family name. They are a noble and ancient family with some status in Wien."
"Yes, Puerh has told me."
"Take this time to get to know her well."
"To what extent should I get to know her?" Karun asked.
"That young lady is a genius. She completes her studies quickly and has been protected by her family since childhood. So, in terms of social experience, she's like a blank slate. Although, as a grandfather, it's inappropriate to discuss a young girl like this with you."
"No, I know Grandfather is doing this for my own good."
"Hmm, date her and make it quick. She won't stay in Roja for long, and your time is limited. But I don't think it will be a problem for you."
"Although I feel it's inappropriate to discuss a relationship like this, I don't think it will be a problem."
"Be urgent. When necessary, let her take you back to Wien."
"I... understand."
"It's always effortless to talk to you. I like having a grandson like you."
Although it felt inappropriate, communicating with a grandson with autism was truly challenging.
"I like having a grandfather like you too."
"Oh, by the way."
Dis opened a drawer and took out a stack of money, placing it on the desk.
"You can't go on a date with a girl without any money in your pocket."
"Thank you, Grandfather."
Karun had previously handed over all his savings, so he didn't have much cash on hand. Of course, Alfred was definitely rich, and he would surely satisfy his needs for money.But the feeling of receiving pocket money from his grandfather was different, just like many college students in their previous lives applying for extra love funds from their parents after dating.
"Okay, it's nothing."
Karun held a stack of Lu coins in his hand, but did not stand up, instead asking:
"Grandpa, is it because of my identity that caused..."
Before Karun finished speaking,
Dis shook his head:
"No, it's not. Actually, it has nothing to do with you.
I performed the God Descent Ceremony to protect my family. Naturally, I couldn't leave any hidden dangers before doing it and let my family fall into danger again.
So,
It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with the God Descent Ceremony. You are not a burden, Karun."
"Then..."
"It's my own problem, some unexpected problems that I encountered, and this problem is very troublesome. I didn't anticipate it before performing the God Descent Ceremony.
So, the trouble is only for me, and it won't affect you or the Inmoleis family."
"But Grandpa is also a part of the Inmoleis family, and the most important part." Karun said.
"I will handle it, and I can only handle it. Just like that night when I took you to the Morpheus family, some things have gone beyond what ordinary people can intervene or help with, and you should understand that.
So,
While asking you to trust me, please focus on what you should do now."
Dis's meaning is that we don't need to be sentimental and pull back and forth, such as we will always be with you, the family will always support you, and we cannot let you take risks and other nonsense. There is no need to mention it again.
Karun nodded and stood up.
Just as Karun was about to leave,
Dis spoke again:
"Karun."
"Grandpa, what's up?"
"My dream has always been for the Inmoleis family to leave the world of the church starting from me."
"I know."
This will succeed, no matter whether I can handle this trouble or not."
"I believe in your ability, Grandpa. In my eyes, you are an omnipotent existence."
"But I won't interfere with my family's choices for their lives, just like when I knew that the man Winnie chose had some problems with his character, I didn't choose to stop her in the end under Winnie's stubbornness.
This is life, this is life."If you lose the power to choose your own path, and live your life step by step, when you grow old, there won't be much to look back on. That's why I want you to go to Wien."
"Your actions in these past few days have truly changed my thoughts."
"Thank you, Grandfather."
At that moment, Aunt Winnie walked up to the third floor and saw Puerh hanging from the chandelier.
"Oh my, this cat is getting more mischievous by the day."
Puerh on the chandelier rolled its eyes.
Winnie walked up to the study door and knocked.
"Karen?"
Karen opened the door.
"Aunt Winnie?"
Winnie smiled at Karen and looked at her father sitting inside.
"Father, the hospital called again. Mr. Hofmann had another near-death experience, but he was saved quickly this time."
"Alright, I understand."
"Okay."
Winnie turned and left.
Karen was about to close the door and return to his room when Dis stood up from behind the desk.
"Karen, come with me to the hospital."
"Okay, Grandfather."
"Mr. Hofmann is tired. It's time to bring him home to rest."
...
The hospital room.
Today, the caregiver was not dozing off. Instead, she was carefully peeling an apple for Mr. Hofmann.
"You were saved quickly this time. It means your body is slowly getting better."
"Hehe, maybe." Mr. Hofmann smiled and opened his mouth, ready to receive the apple.
But after waiting for a while, he realized that there was no sweet apple in his mouth. He looked up and saw that the caregiver was frozen in the middle of feeding him the apple.
Mr. Hofmann didn't panic or lose his composure.
On the contrary, he let out a long nasal sound, as if he had finally achieved release.
At the door, a black shadow slowly drifted in and gradually condensed into a man's figure.
Immediately after, a majestic voice rang out.
"You have been accused of participating in a super-standard God-summoning ceremony. According to the 'Order Regulations,' we have come to question you."
"I've been waiting for you, the evil god... the evil god has already descended!"
