Chapter 1088: A Thief Came to the House

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once all the foundational work had been taken care of, Su Shen didn’t stop there.

He had every single lock in the house replaced with brand-new ones, then went the extra mile by hiring workers to raise the perimeter walls significantly.

As a final touch, he had shards of glass cemented along the top—an old-school yet highly effective method to deter unwanted visitors.

In the courtyard stood a flowering crabapple tree, which Gu Zi adored. That, of course, had to stay.

However, Su Shen quickly noticed a problem: the tree’s exact location made it the perfect launchpad for anyone attempting to climb over the wall.

And so, in the most practical stroke of genius, he set up Big Yellow’s doghouse right beneath it. By evening, the large yellow dog had been brought over, and Su Shen personally led him to his new home to get acquainted with the surroundings.

As it turned out, Su Shen’s foresight was spot on.

That very night, a thief came sneaking in.

The move-in had drawn some attention, after all—between the delivery trucks, the sudden arrival of new furniture, and the transformation of a long-abandoned courtyard house into a quaint and lively home complete with a tiny vegetable garden, the neighbors weren’t the only ones who had noticed. It would have been shocking not to attract the wrong kind of interest.

Sure enough, the thief chose the exact route Su Shen had anticipated: he scaled the wall and aimed for the crabapple tree as his landing point.

What the poor fellow hadn’t anticipated was the presence of Big Yellow beneath the tree.

Thinking the night would unfold like any of his past break-ins, the thief silently clambered over the wall. But the moment his foot reached for a solid landing, he met a pair of glowing eyes staring up at him, sharp and alert—Big Yellow, in full guard mode.

Startled, the man lost his balance and fell with a heavy thud.

Within a heartbeat, Big Yellow lunged. His mouth opened wide, revealing a terrifying set of teeth glistening with saliva.

One snap, the thief thought in horror, just one bite and a chunk of his arm would be gone. He had never encountered such a ferocious guard dog in his life. His knees buckled instantly. Letting out a strangled "Ah!" he blacked out from sheer terror.
