Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Chapter 394 Conversation with Inuyasha

The Shikon Jewel has a limit to its ability to enhance demonic power; it cannot be increased indefinitely. Moreover, the demonic power enhanced through the Shikon Jewel is extremely mixed and superficial.

"Like a rootless duckweed."

The next day, Nurarihyon looked at the rising sun and stood in front of the house, saying...

"Will this be helpful to you?" Fang Rui asked, standing to the side, ignoring Nurarihyon's sentiments.

“It helps, but not much,” Nurarihyon said.

After all, truly top-tier demons wouldn't even look at the Shikon Jewel. Although it possesses wondrous abilities, its limits are undeniable.

"Do you need my help? I can help you regain your 'heart'." Fang Rui said these strange words.

Fortunately, Nurarihyon understood what Fang Rui meant. After a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head: "No need... for now."

"Let me try. If it doesn't work... I hope you'll be willing to help."

"Of course I'd like to, but there will be a fee."

Whether or not there is a fee, it makes no difference to Fang Rui, but it would be better to charge a little fee so that he can collect interesting items along the way.

"You want money? You want to pay?" Nurarihyon asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, it's interesting... It can be any kind of object or monster."

Fang Rui gave a brief explanation, and Nurarihyon nodded knowingly. He also collected some interesting things when he traveled around back then.

"No problem, I have lots of interesting things at home, you can pick whatever you like."

Nurarihyon spoke with great arrogance, giving off an impression of being very wealthy.

In reality, Nurarihyon is indeed very wealthy. The Nura Clan is a large yokai organization with tens of thousands of members, operating many businesses and owning a lot of land. After years of accumulation, it would be strange if they didn't have money.

"Watch out, or I'll empty your entire treasure trove," Fang Rui joked.

"Even if the treasure vault is emptied, I'll still profit."

A Nurarihyon who has recovered to his peak combat power can bring more benefits and can also guard the time portal, which is more important than some collections.

"Is that so..." Fang Rui didn't say anything more, but looked at a certain spot in the village.

A young man dressed in red with silver hair strode arrogantly through the village.

The villagers all stared at him with surprise, as if asking, "What are you doing here?!"

The person did not respond, but continued to look around the village, as if comparing it with the village in their memory.

"Isn't that the sealed half-demon? What's he doing here?"

Nurarihyon was somewhat surprised. After coming out of the Bone Eater's Well, he saw a half-demon pinned to a tree trunk by an arrow. The half-demon was unconscious at the time, which was probably caused by the spiritual power carried by the arrow.

Logically speaking, given the spiritual power in the arrow, this half-demon shouldn't have any chance of waking up in a short time, let alone breaking the seal.

Some problems...

Thinking this to himself, Nurarihyon said, "We're exorcists now, aren't we going to go take a look?"

"Of course we should take a look. The youngest son of the Dog General is worth seeing."

"The Great Dog General!" Nura Nurarihyon muttered under his breath, "That guy is pretty formidable!"

"But I haven't heard much about his son."

"The other party didn't cause any trouble, so of course you haven't heard about it," Fang Rui responded, since both dogs were living peacefully.

"Hmph~" Nurarihyon became interested upon hearing this. "Tell me more about it."

"You'd better mind your own business first! The other party is a dog demon with an extremely keen sense of smell. If you give yourself away, I'll beat you up."

Fang Rui had no interest in telling a story and immediately changed the subject.

"You're right, dog demons are indeed troublesome, we need to be a little more careful."

Realizing that his demonic aura was somewhat out of control, Nurarihyon's expression turned slightly serious, and he unleashed an even more powerful demonic technique to conceal his presence.

The two arrived at Granny Kaede's residence. At this time, a group of villagers had gathered outside the house. After all, the villagers had grown up listening to the story of Inuyasha, and the place where Inuyasha was sealed was not far from the village.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the villagers knew Inuyasha.

Inside the room, Inuyasha sat cross-legged on the floor, while Kagome looked embarrassed, seemingly trying to explain something.

"Exorcist Master!" "Exorcist Master!"

As Fang Rui and Nurarihyon approached, a series of greetings rang out. Fang Rui nodded slightly in response, and Nurarihyon nodded back in return, very naturally.

"You've arrived!" Granny Kaede said as she saw Fang Rui and Nurarihyon enter the house, and before the conflict broke out, she explained, "This is Inuyasha, not a bad demon."

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since you say so, I will trust you and will not lay a hand on him."

Fang Rui followed Grandma Feng down the steps; from the beginning, he had no intention of making a move.

“I agree with his decision,” Nurarihyon added.

He initially thought it was a troublemaking monster that had been sealed away by the priestess, but now it seems that it wasn't what he thought.

Interesting; it seems to hold an interesting story.

Nurarihyon expressed that he wanted to watch the drama unfold, but the current situation didn't allow him to.

"Hmph!" Inuyasha turned his head away unhappily, then twitched his nose a few times before suddenly turning to Nurarihyon, "Where is the Shikon Jewel?!"

'As expected of a dog demon's nose, it's really sharp!' Nurarihyon was startled, but then relaxed.

The moment Inuyasha looked over, Nurarihyon instinctively thought he had been discovered, only to find that it was the Shikon Jewel that had been discovered.

With so many layers on it, how exactly did you manage to smell it?

"You want it here?" Fang Rui asked with a smile.

Inuyasha sensed something strange in Fang Rui's smile, making him feel a little uncomfortable. He tried to change the subject and said forcefully, "That's right, I want it."

"You want it, but why should I give it to you?" Fang Rui retorted.

Nurarihyon, standing to the side, had a strange expression on his face. He felt that Fang Rui was teasing the dog.

"You bastard..." Inuyasha bared his teeth, his tone fierce, "Don't force me to take it by force!"

"Heh~ You want to rob me?" A strange smile appeared on Fang Rui's face, and the next second, he disappeared.

boom--

Inuyasha, who was sitting on the floor, was shoved into the wooden board with a palm strike. Fang Rui, the instigator, chuckled softly, "It seems you're not strong enough to take the Shikon Jewel from me."

"Damn it!" Inuyasha struggled with all his might, but he could not break free from Fang Rui's suppression.

Fang Rui released his grip, and Inuyasha suddenly darted to a corner, landing on all fours, baring his teeth.

'Hmm, it really has a dog-like feel to it.'

Ignoring Inuyasha's hostility, Fang Rui asked, "What is your reason for wanting the Shikon Jewel?"

As he spoke, Fang Rui looked at Grandma Feng and said, "By the way, Nurarihyon will fix the damaged floor."

"Wait, why me? You were the one who ruined it!" Nurarihyon retorted.

"Hmph~ You have a problem with that?" Fang Rui glanced at Nurarihyon, his eyes showing little emotion.

"No, can I ask a shikigami for help?" Nurarihyon immediately changed his attitude.

Kagome Higurashi cast a disdainful look at him, "You changed your mind too quickly!"

Grandma Feng didn't say anything, her attitude remained the same; as long as the floor could be fixed, she didn't care who did it.

“Okay.” Fang Rui nodded lightly, not caring much about it, and turned his gaze back to Inuyasha.

"Tell me what you wish to achieve with the help of the Shikon Jewel."

"Why should I tell you?" Inuyasha learned quickly and answered in Fang Rui's manner.

"Because... I can help you." Originally, I wanted to say something like "I'm better than you," but considering Inuyasha's personality, I knew that saying that would definitely provoke his rebellious attitude, so I changed my approach.

"You can help me? You don't even know what I want..."

Before Inuyasha could finish speaking, Fang Rui interrupted the spell: "Your wish is to become a true demon, but..."

"Do you really want to abandon your human bloodline? The bloodline that comes from your mother..."

One second Inuyasha was shocked that someone knew, and the next second he was completely withdrawn. To be fair, Inuyasha and his mother had a very good relationship.

"It seems you're unwilling." With that, Fang Rui returned to his original position and sat cross-legged.

"By the way, where did that guy come from?" Fang Rui asked, pretending to know nothing.

'No, you only thought to ask this after you'd finished bullying them?'

Kagome Higurashi mentally complained, then consciously raised her hand: "I accidentally broke his seal."

"Oh~ a seal!" Fang Rui nodded slightly, looking at Inuyasha who had emerged from his self-isolation, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Could you tell me his story? I'm quite curious."

As he spoke, Fang Rui turned his gaze to Grandma Feng, waiting for her response.

Upon hearing this, Granny Kaede first looked at Inuyasha, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly began to recount the story of the past.

In short, according to Granny Kaede's account, Inuyasha is a traitor. Before Granny Kaede could finish speaking, Inuyasha jumped up and shouted, "It was Kikyo who deceived me first!"

"Perhaps! I don't know the specifics. What I know is what my sister relayed to me, but she didn't explain it clearly..."

Perhaps because of her extensive experience, Granny Kaede didn't argue with Inuyasha about this matter, since Inuyasha's one-sided account couldn't prove anything.

"One says Inuyasha betrayed first, the other says Kikyo betrayed first, so... what was the trigger?"

Ignoring the angry Inuyasha, Fang Rui, as an observer, calmly pointed out the key points.

"Is it the Shikon Jewel? Or something else...?"

"How was I supposed to know? I had already given up on the Shikon Jewel, and then Kikyo suddenly attacked me!"

"That's why I attacked the village and stole the Shikon Jewel!"

As he spoke, Inuyasha recalled the scene from that time once again, and an angry expression appeared on his face.

For others, it was something that happened many years ago, but for Inuyasha, it was just a nap, and not much time had passed.

"Hmm?" Grandma Feng frowned upon hearing this and immediately retorted, "Impossible, my sister would never attack you for no reason."
