The house was completely dark, with not a single glimmer of light seeping out from within.
The whole house was like a giant, black beast, lying dormant in the darkness.
However, as they drew closer, the activity inside became increasingly clear.
A rustling sound,
like someone carefully fumbling for something in the darkness, was especially jarring in the silent night.
A dog in the yard,
with its keen sense of smell, instantly detected three strangers invading its territory.
It abruptly opened its mouth, baring sharp fangs, ready to let loose a deafening bark,
to warn these uninvited guests.
But just then, Chu He merely glanced at it.
His gaze was like a tangible, cold glint of light, carrying an indisputable authority.
In an instant, it was as if all the dog's courage had been drained away.
It didn't even dare to whimper. Shivering uncontrollably, it tucked its tail between its legs and lay back down on the ground,
assuming a submissive posture.
