Crossover: A Different Inuyasha.

The next day, when Inuyasha woke up, he smelled a strong aroma of food.

He turned his head and saw Feng lift the pot lid, steam rising up and blurring half of her face. "Come and eat something when you're awake."

The spirited priestess remained as always.

Inuyasha glanced at the other person's right eye and could smell the scent of "medicine" in the air.

This was an item that Donglan found by chance while searching for the art of resurrection. It was found in a Taoist temple deep in the mountains and was said to be a secret medicine left behind by an ancient celestial maiden who was skilled in healing arts.

It is made from the marrow of a demon, spiritual herbs, and purified spring water.

Through the self-sacrifice of some bandits, and after continuous application over a period of time, the "medicine" has shown remarkable efficacy in treating both new and old injuries.

This is also the main reason why Inuyasha was delayed outside for two months.

Holding his rice bowl, Inuyasha casually brought up the plan to transform the village into a city.

"I plan to expand the village into a city where monsters and humans live together."

"We'll use the Sacred Tree and the Well of Bones as our backyard, and the castle tower will be built right where we are now. You won't have to carry the village alone anymore; there will be plenty of people to help."

As Feng listened, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Let's not disturb the peace here." She put down her chopsticks, sat up straight, and looked calmly at Inuyasha.

"This is the place that Kikyo-neechan protected, and the home where everyone has lived for generations. I don't want it to become some kind of demon city."

"And have you thought about the dangers involved?" Seeing that Inuyasha had stopped eating, Feng knew he was listening and didn't hold back with his words.

"Humans and demons coexisting sounds wonderful. But think about it: demons prefer to feed on humans. Even if you can control your powerful subordinates, what about those roaming, lowly demons?"

"They won't avoid you just because you built a city, nor will they be afraid of your reputation. Instead, they'll try to take advantage of the chaos and come in."

"At that time, villagers going out to gather firewood, collect herbs, or farm could be dragged into the forest and eaten at any moment—are you planning to assign each of them a guard?"

"Besides, humans are afraid of monsters; it's an instinct ingrained in their bones."

"Stop and have a drink of water."

Inuyasha brought over a water glass, which Kaede took with a frown. She glared at the dog who was sitting closer and closer, took a sip of water, and continued.

"You're making the monster's minions live among the villagers, who live in constant fear, even sleeping with a knife in their hands. How are they supposed to get by?"

"Even if the demons don't make a move, the demonic energy they gather is enough to make ordinary people restless and sickly."

"Furthermore, what will those sorcerers, priestesses, and monks who specialize in exorcising demons think? If a city teeming with demons appears in Musashi Province, they will only regard it as a scourge and will gather their forces to attack it sooner or later."

"At that time, the village will no longer be a peaceful home, but a battlefield."

Feng spoke clearly and logically, and as he looked at Inuyasha, his gaze gradually sharpened.

"Inuyasha, you want to build a castle and become king. I won't stop you, and I can't stop you either."

"But don't drag the village into this. The people here just want to live a peaceful life."

Inuyasha scratched his silver hair, did not refute Feng's words, and took the water glass from Feng's hand.

Under the disdainful gaze of the mature priestess, he drank the rest of the water in one gulp, as if he had just spoken his heartfelt words.

"Feng is right about everything."

Inuyasha spoke with unusual seriousness.

"So I didn't plan to have the monsters and villagers living together right away."

"The area is divided into two residential districts, east and west, centered around the sacred tree and the maple village."

"The east is for monsters, and the west is for humans. Neither monsters nor humans may approach without permission."

"Let's establish rules step by step."

Inuyasha crossed his arms, his golden eyes reflecting Kaede's thoughtful expression. "Man-eating demons, kill them. Those who follow the rules, spare them. In time, the rules will naturally be established."

"As for the impact of demonic energy on people's health..." He pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Feng, "Don't worry about this problem in the early stages. I will solve it when people and demons begin to truly communicate."

The spiritual energy and magic in this world have certain limitations—you are born without spiritual power and will not have it when you grow up, just like the spiritual roots in "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

Inuyasha plans to start with his [Innate Spirit Armor] to activate the power of his soul itself, thereby nourishing his body and achieving transcendence.

However, this is similar to the shrine maiden system: if the soul power is not strong enough, the spirit armor cannot be manifested, and it is still useless.

But in any case, this undoubtedly added an extraordinary path for the people under its command.

In the future, with the talent of "I am the only one in the heavens," having obtained the power of chakra, magic, and true qi, leading the entire nation into an extraordinary era of immortality is not an unrealistic dream.

However, the true unlocking of the power of the [Inherent Spirit Armor] will have to wait until the next decade, after Inuyasha once again merges with "Other Self".

There was the venomous snake Naraku lurking in the shadows, along with all sorts of demons and monsters. Before establishing an absolute advantage in strength, he didn't want to be the one to pave the way for the king and end up doing all the work for him.

Furthermore, Inuyasha had no way of activating [Inherent Spirit Gear] in bulk.

Kaede stared at the determined Inuyasha and sighed, "Talk is cheap. I'll show you what I'm going to do when I see you."

"Otherwise, I would disagree with you wasting so much resources and energy to build an impractical and useless city."

Inuyasha suddenly burst into laughter, looking just like a weasel about to steal a chicken.

"Feng, come here for a second."

He beckoned to Feng, who was slightly taken aback and cautiously leaned his head closer.

Inuyasha leaned close to her ear.

Feeling the warm breath on her ear, the beautiful, mature shrine maiden, who had never been so close to a man before, felt a slight tremor in her heart.

Then, the silver-haired half-demon whispered a few words that only she could hear.

Feng's ears instantly flushed red, and his handsome face suddenly burned.

She sat bolt upright, glaring at Inuyasha with a mixture of anger and rage, her clenched fist almost striking out. "Inuyasha! Are you trying to kill me?!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Inuyasha jumped back, grinning as he spread his hands. "I'm not making this up. I really can give you power, but don't worry about how that power comes from."

"How could I not care!" Feng gritted her teeth, her cheeks still flushed. "You shameless, lecherous dog!"

"You bullied Kikyo-neechan, and now you're bullying me—you're a born evil half-demon! I'll seal you away myself!"

Seeing that Kaede, filled with shame and anger, turned to get the arrow, Inuyasha, intending to give her some time to calm down and think, quickly slipped away, leaving only one sentence behind.

"Remember to save me some dinner tonight!"

"Keep dreaming, you half-demon!"

Feng stared at the still-shaking door, put down his bow and arrow, covered his flushed face with his hands, and his heart pounded.

"What a bad dog!"
