As the sun sets, its afterglow spills across the earth, bathing everything in a soft golden glow.

Just as the beautiful evening was beginning, you arrived at the ethnic hotel where you would be staying for the night.

"Guest! This way."

The guide, dressed in traditional ethnic clothing, waved enthusiastically at you.

Guided by the guide, you drove the car into the parking area.

As soon as you get off the bus, you are pleasantly surprised to find that there is a beautifully colored sheepdog following behind the guide.

The soft, glossy fur, like silken brocade, shimmered with a captivating luster in the glow of the sunset.

Its large, bright eyes stared at us warily, revealing a hint of unease.

"hello!"

After greeting the guide, your attention will be completely drawn to this adorable sheepdog.

You smiled and waved gently at it as a gesture of friendliness.

However, the sheepdog only barked briefly, then quickly pulled its head back behind the guide as if startled, hiding its whole body as if filled with fear of you.

"Starting to unleash its power, King of Beasts?" Qin Che, who had just gotten out of the car and was following behind you, joked.

"Hmph!" You turned and bared your teeth at him. "Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a kitten! Maybe it's because you're standing next to me that it's afraid of you!" You poked Qin Che's chest a few times in annoyance.

Qin Che cooperated by being poked and took two steps back, letting out a few pleasant low laughs.

The guide quickly explained, "Oh dear, miss, please don't take offense! This guy is usually very timid and avoids strangers. Today, he's surprisingly taken the initiative to greet you, so he must really like you, miss."

After saying that, he reached out and gently pulled on the leash around the sheepdog's neck, preparing to lead us toward the steep path leading to the hotel.

However, the sheepdog seemed to be nailed to the spot, its four paws gripping the ground tightly, refusing to move even a small step forward no matter how the guide tried to pull it.

You see the sheepdog's collar being pulled so hard, yet it still seems very resistant. You turn to the guide and ask, "Is it afraid of walking on such a steep path?"

The guide looked embarrassed, let go of its paw, and scratched his head, saying, "I'm so sorry, I just wanted to take it out for a walk so it could build up its courage. I never expected it to turn out like this... Sigh!"

"What needs to be trained is not courage."

Qin Che, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up.

He looked at the guide who was comforting the dog: "Could I take it for a walk around?"

The guide looked somewhat hesitant: "This...it's quite stubborn, do you really want to try?"

Qin Che nodded.

After some deliberation, the guide handed the rope to Qin Che.

"If it doesn't cooperate, you can leave it here. People around here know it and will help take care of it."

"Qin Che, have you come up with a plan?" You stared at Qin Che and asked curiously.

"Hmm. It's not timid; timid animals don't have that kind of calm look in their eyes."

Hearing Qin Che say this, you looked at the sheepdog's eyes in confusion, but only saw a deep blackness.

Qin Che, holding the sheepdog's leash, said, "It's getting dark. You go in with the guide first, and I'll bring it along soon."
