As they passed the neat row of Grass Sheds, Fuxi picked up Gua Tian Quan from beside his feet.
Gua Tian Quan was extremely sensitive by nature. Now that they were on the Howling Path, that deeply unpleasant sensation had nearly swallowed the dog whole, leaving the dog looking sickly.
Whenever Fuxi carried the dog past a Grass Shed, a trace of hostility surfaced in those listless eyes.
Perhaps realizing that the things inside the Grass Sheds were too powerful, the dog dared not bark wildly and only whimpered softly.
