Crossover: A Different Inuyasha.

The two sat facing each other at a low table, each picking up a bowl of porridge.

Feng lowered his eyes and silently drank his porridge, but his eyes kept glancing at the person opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

Inuyasha was engrossed in eating, showing no sign of unease whatsoever, as if the bastard who attacked him last night was not him at all.

Feng bit the tip of his chopsticks, feeling both angry and frustrated—what kind of shamelessness does this person have?

But she could only suppress her surging emotions, pretend that nothing had happened, and calmly finish a bowl of porridge.

Feng put down her bowl, lowered her eyes, and asked in a flat tone, "Out again today?"

She didn't even realize she was getting depressed when she said those words.

go out?

He's probably having a secret rendezvous with a vixen.

"No, I'm keeping you company today," Inuyasha replied casually, chewing on his rice ball.

This answer surprised Feng, and a hint of joy subtly rose in his heart, causing his fingers, which were gripping the chopsticks, to loosen slightly.

The next moment, Inuyasha said, "Yesterday, I located the demon city of Rashomon, five kilometers east of the Sacred Tree. Today, let's settle on the human city of Zenkenkyo together."

Feng looked up at the silver-haired half-demon across from him, who was casually shoveling rice into his mouth while arranging his day's itinerary. He wanted to say something, but found himself at a loss for words.

"...You certainly know how to order people around."

She muttered something under her breath, but still silently put away the bowl and chopsticks.

Inuyasha looked up, grinned at her, and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to see for yourself how I solve the problem of human-demon coexistence? How can you be at ease if I don't show you?"

"The name 'Sudarsana' in Sudarsana comes from the Buddhist city of Sudarsana, the capital of Indra, which symbolizes light, order, justice, and the right path in the human world."

"Rashomon is a city of demons, at the gate of life and death, while the city of men stands atop the peak of good vision; on one side, a hundred ghosts roam at night, and on the other, ten thousand people live in peace."

The half-demon's eyes shone brightly in the morning light, captivating all who looked at them.

"After that, I will completely resolve the divide between humans and demons. I will let the light of peaceful coexistence shine on this chaotic land."

Looking at Inuyasha, who was full of ambition under the sunlight, Feng's eyes softened.

The morning light fell on his silver hair, gilding his flamboyant face with a warm gold. The arrogance and seriousness between his brows intertwined, creating a truly captivating aura.

She found it hard to reconcile the radiant man before her with the sneaky, foolish dog from last night who stole a kiss and ran away.

"...Stop talking big."

Feng turned his face away, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly. "Take me to see it first."

Inuyasha grinned, strode out the door, and turned back to wave at her.

"Come on, let me show you what a real doer is."

The two stepped out of the house. The morning light was just right, and wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys above the village.

Good morning, Lord Feng!

A woman who was hanging clothes to dry stood up, smiled and waved to Feng.

"Good morning, Inuyasha-sama! The weather's nice today, shall we go for a walk?"

"Ah, good morning."

Feng nodded slightly.

The man chopping wood in front of the house next door also looked up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and grinned at Inuyasha.

"Lord Inuyasha, thanks to you, things have been much more peaceful lately!"

Feng had told the villagers about clearing out the surrounding monsters long ago.

Hearing the man's gratitude, Feng felt even happier than Inuyasha.

Er Gouzi waved his hand and said smugly, "It's a piece of cake. From now on, everyone will live happily with me."

"How shameless!"

Feng glanced over and saw a little girl with her hair in two buns peeking out from behind the fence, clutching a handful of wildflowers, and calling out timidly.

"Lord Inuyasha!"

"This... is for you!"

Inuyasha paused for a moment, then bent down to take the crooked bunch of wildflowers, patted the little girl's head, and said, "Thanks."

The little girl blushed and shrank back behind the fence, but couldn't help peeking out to peek at him again—Lord Inuyasha, he's so handsome.

Kaede glared at Inuyasha and whispered, "Don't you dare lay a hand on a child!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

He's not a lolicon; it's just that the girls he occasionally likes happen to be lolis!

Along the way, greetings rose and fell, some calling "Lord Kaede," others "Lord Inuyasha," and a few daring children chased after him for a few steps before being dragged back by their parents.

The villagers' eyes were filled with smiles and trust; in terms of simplicity and kindness, Maple Village was miles ahead of the scoundrels of Konoha.

"The initial plan for Zenkenkyo was to accommodate 5,000 people. The terrain needed to be flat to facilitate future expansion, and there also needed to be a reliable water source," Inuyasha said as he walked, his steps light and quick.

Both men were locals who knew the area like the back of their hand.

In less than half an hour, they found an ideal open space—about six kilometers from Maple Village, with a wide and flat terrain, no high mountains to block the view, and plenty of sunshine.

"The location is easy to find."

Feng looked around, his gaze settling on the forest. "But what about the houses? What about the food?"

"Where do you plan to house all those people, and what will they eat?"

"Don't worry about housing and food; there are solutions." Inuyasha put his hands on his hips and glanced around.

Before him lay a flat, open expanse of land, with a small river, about ten meters wide, meandering through the middle. The water was clear and sparkling, shimmering like a flowing silver ribbon in the sunlight.

The riverbanks are lush with vegetation and have abundant water and soil, making it a perfect place to settle down.

Unlike later generations when Tokyo was overcrowded and land was scarce, the present era is characterized by a small population and abundant land.

Feng took two steps forward, squatted down, and scooped up a handful of river water, which was clear and slightly cool.

She stood up and looked at Inuyasha. "The location is nice, but you need to understand that building a city isn't something you can do just by drawing a map."

"So, let's take it one step at a time."

Inuyasha crossed his arms, met Kaede's searching gaze, and said in a more serious tone, "To change humans' initial impression of demons, my first step is to get demons to cooperate with humans."

"First, let the monsters do some physical labor for humans, such as cutting down timber to build houses, moving stones, and leveling foundations."

"Monsters can do these tasks more than ten times faster than humans."

"The second step is for humans to grow food, brew alcohol, and make clothing for the yokai. Although the yokai do not eat human food, they still need alcohol, cloth, and utensils."

"In this back-and-forth exchange, both sides can see each other's value. Once they get used to mutual dependence, the barriers will naturally disappear."

Feng listened attentively, her brows furrowing and relaxing slightly. After a moment, she spoke.

"...That sounds feasible."

"But have you ever considered whether anyone would dare to work alongside a monster?"

Inuyasha chuckled. "Do they have a choice in front of me?"

Feng's face immediately darkened.
