"Karun, do you want to go to the dim sum shop?"

Richard now seemed like a child eager to prove that he had grown up, trying to grasp onto anything he thought could showcase himself as an adult.

"There's also a mermaid theater on Dark Moon Island, right?"

"Just like straightening the steering wheel while driving, I think we also need to adjust our taste in this aspect."

"You and that Belia."

"We haven't even established a romantic relationship yet. Before marriage, I am still free. Oh, it's really something in Wayne. You should know that even after marriage, if a couple can't find a lover, they won't be able to lift their heads in front of each other."

So my mom is really not easy. Even my dad is like this, and she still hasn't found a lover."

"Richard."

"Yeah?"

"You should go home first. Although your dad doesn't talk much usually, I can tell that he really cares about you. So, you should go home quickly. Your dad is definitely waiting for you at home."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Okay then, I'll go back and let my family know that I'm safe. Can I come find you tomorrow? Cook for me, hehe."

"Okay."

Karun glanced at Memphis standing next to Richard from the corner of his eye.

"Remember your promise, Karun. I'll come tomorrow morning."

"Okay..."

If you can still make it here tomorrow.

The team members took taxis or trams, and those with their own cars nearby would choose to ride with others.

Karun got into the car with Fanny and Peiming.

Pei asked, "By the way, Karun, I heard that Miss Ophelia will also come here?"

"She will come to the Order of the Gods, but not to York City."

"Oh, that's a pity," Pei said with a smile.

Fanny said, "What a pity? Karun probably feels relieved, no need to be entangled anymore."

Karun politely smiled and remained silent.

Peiming leaned back in her seat and said, "If it were me, Miss Ophelia wouldn't be decisive enough. It would be better to come on strong. Look at me, because I missed that opportunity, I regret it now because I can't beat him anymore."

Karun asked, "Is it vacation next?"

Fanny answered, "Didn't we just come back from vacation? There might be a new mission tomorrow, it depends on the captain's decision."

"That's true."

For this trip to Dark Moon Island, Karun was busy from start to finish, but for the other team members, it was really a vacation. They probably wanted to receive a new mission soon to keep their bodies from rusting.

They arrived at the Pavaro Funeral Home, and Karun got off the car, waved goodbye to Fanny and the others, and then pushed the luggage with the sword box towards the shop.

The outside of the shop had been newly cemented and was very smooth. Both the outside and inside were cleaned well, indicating that the two employees at home had not been lazy during this time.

Of course, this was also related to Karun changing the direction of the business. They no longer accepted ordinary customers and only did business within the circle. As a result, they didn't have much work on regular days. So far, they had only done one business with Old Suman.

Mainly because the income from Karun's Order Whip was enough to support the expenses of this home, not to mention the share he owned in the Allen Manor and Dark Moon Island businesses.

On the embalming table, Pick was sitting on the steps with a bottle of soda and a bag of fries in front of him. He was holding a copy of the "Order Regulations" and reading it attentively.

When he heard the movement, he looked up and saw Karun standing in the shop. He immediately stood up and shouted, "Oh, boss, you're back!"

"Yeah."

Pick immediately came down to help with the things and said, "Mr. Alfred took Dinkom out for errands."

"Yeah, I know. Take the clothes in the suitcase and wait for Hilly to clean them. I'll go to the study first."

"Okay, boss."

Karun walked to the study door with the sword box, opened the door, and happened to see Hilly wiping the desk with her back facing him.

The weather was getting warmer, and maybe because he wasn't at home, she wasn't wearing jeans today but a black long skirt. However, the difference in clothing couldn't hide her round figure.

Hilly turned her head and saw Karun, immediately showing a bright smile on her face. She put down the cloth and excitedly jumped in place twice.

"Boss, you're back!"

"Yeah, I'm back."

"It's great that the boss is back, hehe."

Karun placed the sword box on the bookshelf and said to Hilly, "I'm hungry, prepare some food."

"Okay, boss, I'll prepare it right away, hehe."

Hilly smiled and turned to leave the study.

"Wait."

"Hmm?" Hilly stopped and looked at Karun. "Boss, is there anything else?"

"You look good in a skirt too. You don't have to wear jeans every day."

Karun was worried that because of Alfred's previous order, this girl would be afraid to change her clothes for a whole year just for the salary.

"Okay, boss!"

Hilly walked out of the study, closed the door, and then covered her mouth and laughed again.

Karun opened the bedroom door from the study and found that Puerh and Kevin were not in the bedroom. He simply took a clean set of clothes and walked into the bathroom, sitting in the bathtub and lying down as the water was being filled.

The bedroom door was pushed open, followed by a series of excited barks.

Then, the bathroom door was pushed open, and Puerh rode on Kevin and entered.

After not seeing each other for a while, Karun noticed that Puerh's fur seemed to be even brighter. It might just be his imagination.

Puerh jumped from Kevin's back to the edge of the bathtub, and Karun covered himself with a towel.

"Hey hey hey, still shy, Dis has watched me grow up."

"Heh."

Puerh wagged her tail, as if adjusting herself, and then quickly got into the mood, saying:"Oh, my dear Karun, you've worked hard on this business trip for the family, and now you're finally back."

Puerh walked along the edge of the bathtub and sniffed carefully next to Karun's head.

"What are you doing?"

"Just got home and taking a bath. Do you want to wash away the perfume on your body?"

"She doesn't use perfume."

"Ah, I didn't even say who it was, and you admitted it yourself!"

Karun raised his hand and placed it on the cat's head, giving it a rub.

Because his hand was wet, he messed up Puerh's fur on his head.

"Oh, damn, you messed up my hairstyle."

Puerh leaned its head against the towel hanging nearby and used its claws to clean its own head.

At this moment, Kevin took the initiative to bring his dog head closer. Karun reached out and touched its head, revealing the advantage of a bald dog.

"Does hair tonic not work?"

"Woof!" Kevin shook his head, indicating that it didn't work.

"Then this head will always be bald." Karun looked at Puerh. "Look at the harm you've done to Kevin."

Puerh said, "Do you know how much precious time a person can save in their life if they don't have to care about and manage their hairstyle?"

"Alright."

"You haven't answered me yet."

"What should I answer? There's nothing."

"Heh, I don't believe you, meow."

"If you don't believe it, forget it. By the way, how's everything at home recently?"

"See, you're changing the subject. There must be a problem."

"What problem could there be?"

Karun raised his wet hand again and rubbed Puerh's just-dried head.

"...Puerh."

"Boss, the meal is ready."

"I got it."

Karun sat up from the bathtub, picked up a dry towel, first wiped Puerh's head, and then let Puerh go. Puerh jumped onto Kevin's back and left the bathroom.

After wiping himself clean and changing into clean clothes, Karun walked back to the bedroom. On the coffee table were a bowl of scrambled eggs with rice, a bowl of braised beef with mushrooms, and a bowl of shredded pork with pickled vegetables soup.

"Boss, while you were away, I tried making a few dishes. Please try them."

Karun sat down, took the silver chopsticks from Hili, and tasted a few bites. He nodded and said, "The taste is very good. You can have a raise."

"Thank you, boss!"

After Hili left, Karun ate while recounting the events that happened on Dark Moon Island. When he reached the part about finding Jennifer's body:

"Jennifer... she died like this."

Puerh sat on the carpet, tears swirling in its eyes.

"My dear Jennifer, you died like this."

Kevin approached and lightly touched Puerh's body with its bald head, but Puerh remained indifferent.

Seeing this, Karun could only put down his chopsticks, pick up Puerh, and wipe away its tears.

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "[pawread.c𝘰m]"

"Continue, you know what I want to hear, what I'm looking forward to."

Karun continued to tell the story, and Puerh listened attentively. Karun skipped unnecessary scenes in order for Puerh to better understand the whole experience, such as some interactions between him and Ophelia.

"Jennifer followed Philias and set sail together." Puerh murmured, "Karun, are you sure you're not lying to comfort me?"

"I believe in your mental strength. Do you think I would lie to you?"

"Huh... Poor Jennifer. I always told her that men are no good, but she thought I was too extreme and even advised me to treat Bernard better. That foolish woman ended up being foolishly killed by herself. Bernard, that damn Bernard! Karun, you should have brought back a cup of his ashes so that I could personally flush it down the toilet!"

Kevin, who had been listening to the story, raised its paw and scratched its neck, recalling the experience of being bitten by mosquitoes a few nights ago.

"At that time, the situation was urgent, and I had to take care of everything. But rest assured, the torment Bernard endured before he died, my words can only describe one-tenth of it."

"He deserves it!" Puerh said, "When I fully recover, I will burn Dark Moon Island to the ground!"

Karun didn't advise Puerh. He knew that this was Puerh's way of expressing emotions. At this moment, there was no need to reason with her or educate her about the innocence of the ordinary people on Dark Moon Island.

"You can continue eating."

Puerh jumped off Karun's lap and onto the bed, rubbing its paws back and forth on the sheets.

Kevin walked over.

Puerh scolded it, "Stupid dog, if you weren't a dog right now, how good would it be? Then we could extract Bernard's soul and torture him day and night!"

Kevin felt a bit wronged and secretly glanced at Karun, who was still eating. If it weren't for being a dog, it probably wouldn't have appeared here.

Puerh continued to scold itself, "If I hadn't had an accident, Bernard wouldn't have dared to treat Jennifer like this. No, I would have personally slapped that annoying Bernard to death!"

Karun filled a bowl with soup, drank it while asking, "By the way, have you finished making the puppets with Mr. Tolemar?"

Puerh buried its face in the blanket, rubbed it hard, then raised its head and smiled, saying, "They're done!"

"Where are they?"

"They're in the coffin in the morgue."

"I thought you would be eager to use them to show me when I came back."

"You didn't give me a heads up when you came back." Puerh said angrily, "Controlling them is quite troublesome, and it's different from what I expected."

"How is it different?"

"Mainly, I'm different from Miss Serina. Do you know, it seems like she died a long time ago."

Karun paused for a moment, nodded, and said, "I know.""But she preserved it in a special way, similar to the existence of a spiritual body. Essentially, she can switch between various puppet bodies.

Right now, neither I nor the stupid dog can do this. Our consciousness cannot temporarily leave our current bodies. I am not strong enough, and the stupid dog is sealed.

So, if I want to use that body, I can only do so within a range of ten meters.

I have to sit on the shoulder of my puppet, and the stupid dog may need to hold a leash to control its own puppet while walking itself."

"Hehe." Karun laughed when he heard this.

"But the puppet is really well made. Lemar has talent, but a master craftsman still needs time and experience. I have high hopes for his future."

"Well, I'm curious about what the puppet looks like. After all, you've been designing it for a long time."

"It looks exactly like me, because I think my previous appearance doesn't need any modifications."

Karun nodded and said, "I think so too."

"Right, in a while, I will participate in the selection test. First, I will participate in the York City region, and then compete with the selected candidates from other regions for the twelve spots. The test mainly focuses on the soul aspect."

Upon hearing this, Kevin barked twice. As the first victim, it had the right to speak.

"That's not a problem," Puerh said.

Kevin nodded vigorously.

"Have any of you been to the Gate of Reincarnation?" Karun asked.

"I have."

"Bark!"

"The stupid dog has been there too."

"." Karun picked up the nearby cloth and wiped his hands, then folded it and wiped his mouth.

"In strict terms, I have only observed it, but I haven't actually entered. I can only count that I have been in front of the Gate of Reincarnation, but haven't gone inside. But from what I know, there are many lost souls inside. Since the establishment of the Gate of Reincarnation by the God of Reincarnation, for almost an era, the Gate of Reincarnation has been continuously adding souls through unknown means. Who knows how many souls they have accumulated.

Stupid dog, have you been inside?"

"Bark bark bark!"

"What about you, Kevin?"

"Kevin, it has dumped garbage into the Gate of Reincarnation. Well, not only have you worked for the God of Order, but you have also done things for the God of Reincarnation. Really, if you don't die, who will? If I were the God of Order, I wouldn't let you live."

Kevin: ""

"Do you know the specific situation inside?" Karun asked.

"Bark bark bark!"

"Stupid dog, don't just think of it as a secret realm or a trial ground. The space inside the Gate of Reincarnation has its own structure. It can be understood as a country, with its own hierarchical structure."

Karun chuckled and said, "A kingdom built by the undead?"

"Bark bark bark!"

"Yes, it has a top-down system. It is not a chaotic existence. In fact, when the God of Reincarnation first established the Gate of Reincarnation, it stored powerful souls similar to deities. When I dumped garbage inside, I sensed this kind of aura, and there was more than one."

"Bark bark bark bark bark!"

"The candidates who enter for training need to be selected. In fact, they may also select matching souls from inside to pair with you. For the previous trial participants of the Reincarnation God Sect, this is an opportunity to obtain a powerful soul contract partner and pave the way for their future development. Similarly, for the lost souls inside the Gate of Reincarnation, it is another chance for 'rebirth.'

Therefore, the selection mechanism inside is even more ruthless than outside."

After Puerh finished translating, she immediately looked at Kevin and asked, "Stupid dog, do you have any friends inside?"

Kevin blinked his eyes for a long time and then said, "Bark bark."

"No friends, but many enemies?"

"Well, okay, you really are a useless dog. You have lowered my minimum expectation of what a god is. Don't call yourself an evil god in the future, you disgrace to gods."

Kevin lowered its head in response to the mockery.

Karun reached out and patted its bald head to comfort it.

"So, it seems that the participants who enter inside are more like gifts being thrown in?" Karun asked.

"Bark."

"Well, according to the stupid dog's meaning, that's correct."

"Bark bark bark bark!"

"Stupid dog, when the God of Reincarnation was still around, he could suppress the rules of the lost souls inside. Now, in this era, with no gods appearing, no one knows what kind of situation will develop behind the Gate of Reincarnation. It is speculated that even the Reincarnation God Sect now can only control the entrance. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that you selected people are sacrifices offered by the Reincarnation God Sect to the world inside the Gate of Reincarnation."

Karun asked, "Will the contracted soul contract intensify the possibility of losing oneself, like the Bloodthirsty Demon Clan?"

Upon hearing this question, Kevin lay down and a slight arc formed on its dog mouth.

Puerh spoke up, "Stupid dog, really, your smile looks very creepy."

"Bark?"

"Is there intense power struggle within the Reincarnation God Sect, with many factions?"

Karun answered, "Yes, that's correct."

"Bark?"

"The stupid dog asks, who is the gatekeeper of the Reincarnation God Sect now?"

Karun answered, "It's someone from the Simosen family."

Kevin laughed and barked, "Bark bark!"

"Stupid dog, in the era he was in, Simosen was the name of a powerful undead inside the Gate of Reincarnation."

Now, the Simosen family, the largest family within the Reincarnation God Sect, originated from inside the Gate of Reincarnation?

Puerh wagged her tail in surprise and said, "Really? I had no idea. There is no relevant information outside. It seems that I am still too young and inexperienced.

So, the Reincarnation God Sect has already merged with the world inside the Gate of Reincarnation?"

Kevin shook its head, indicating that it disagreed with Puerh's statement.Karun pursed his lips, saying:

"The Reincarnation Sect has been corrupted by the Gate of Reincarnation."
