Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

She took a deep breath, and her voice had returned to calm when she spoke again.

"King Douya's wish to get married is his personal business. What does it have to do with me?"

"It's okay, why are you angry?" Zouzi muttered in his heart.

Then, after watching Cuizi walk away expressionlessly for a while, she asked tentatively.

"How about we go to the Mountain Fang City together and ask the Fighting Fang King face to face?"

"Don't go!"

Cui Zi gritted her teeth and squeezed out these two words, a hint of pain flashed in her eyes.

She didn't want to go find that shameless bastard who flirted with others even though he knew she was engaged.

"I will leave the Western Kingdom after everyone in the Half-Demon Village has settled down in the Land of Senluo."

She took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the emotions that were surging up again.

"I'll leave Mica to you. I'll come visit you guys when I have time."

Zouzi looked at Cuizi, who had an expression that said "I've made up my mind", and said nothing more.

Yunmu in her arms meowed and looked at Cuizi with some grievance.

This cry instantly broke Cui Zi's defense.

"Mica, be good."

She hurriedly opened her arms, her voice trembling barely perceptibly.

When Yunmu jumped into her arms, the familiar warm touch made Cuizi feel unspeakable grievances for the first time in her life of slaying demons and being invincible.

"It's all the fault of that...dog demon who was born to bewitch people!"

Zouzi silently looked at Cuizi who was walking in front of her. While feeling dissatisfied with Douya, she was also thinking about countermeasures.

After the initial shock and anger, from the perspective of high-ranking officials who had many wives and concubines, Zouzi did not think that King Douya had done anything wrong.

Not to mention marrying one, even if he took a hundred or a thousand concubines, others could only envy him.

But from the perspective of Cui Zi's friends, some people dislike Dou Ya Wang and hate him as a dog.

"Matters of the heart are really hard to see clearly and understand."

Zouzi's eyes briefly glanced at Kurenai and the others, as well as their half-demon child.

"Is Douya and Cuizi destined to have no result?"

Zouzi thought about it and decided to tell Douya about Cuizi's situation, and let them make their own choices about what to do next.

She is just an outsider.

Chapter 124: The Master of Dog Training

In the spacious general's residence, Dao Daosai, who was invited, was standing in the hall with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

He tried hard to maintain the proper demeanor of a knifesmith, but his knees trembled slightly uncontrollably.

The pair of demonic golden eyes opposite him were staring at him without blinking, as if they could see through all disguises.

"Mr. Dao Daosai, please take a seat."

Douya's voice was calm, even gentle and courteous.

Dao Daosai felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if he was enveloped by some invisible pressure.

"A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree" - this sentence is very appropriate for Dou Ya Wang.

In the Kansai region, any monster with a little knowledge would be both respectful and fearful of the "Inu Taisho" when the name is mentioned.

On the human side, his legend was even made into songs.

Daodaosai chuckled twice and finally sat down tremblingly, but he only dared to sit on half of the chair, with his back stretched straight, like a prey being stared at by a wild beast.

"Boom!"

The hammer hanging around his waist accidentally hit the table leg as he moved, making a particularly loud sound in the silent hall.

“Private Marseille!”

Dao Daosai hurriedly pressed down the hammer, and beads of sweat were about to drip down his forehead.

His cautious appearance made Ru Ya, who had brought him here and was sitting opposite him, raise his eyebrows slightly.

When this guy was tied up on the way, he was still acting arrogantly, saying things like "the dignity of a swordsmith cannot be insulted." But now, he can't even stand up straight.

"However, how many people can hold their ground in front of this guy?"

Ru Ya glanced at the increasingly majestic Dou Ya on the main seat without leaving a trace, and then cast a soothing look at Dao Daosai.

She said calmly, "No need to be so polite, just sit still. The general has summoned you because he has important instructions."

Ru Ya's voice was low and calm, but it inexplicably made Dao Daosai's tense nerves relax a little.

"Yes, yes... please give your orders, Lord Toga." Totosai lowered his head.

"Relax a little. I sent someone to bring you here from afar because I have something to ask of you."

Toga's slow and steady voice made Totosai's heartbeat speed up uncontrollably.

The overlord of the Western Kingdom sat upright on the throne, his golden eyes flickering slightly.

"I've heard that you are quite talented. In time, you have the potential to become the best swordsmith in the Western Kingdom, or even the world."

"Lord Douya, you are too kind."

To receive such high praise from the demon king of a country, Daodaosai did not feel the slightest bit of pride in his heart, but only deep fear.

If he wears such a high hat and fails to complete the task of Fighting Tooth King, his fate will be worrying.

First coat the blade with honey, and if things don't work out, it will be like thunder and lightning in the blink of an eye.

The young Dao Daosai's Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed the bitterness in his mouth, and forced out a humble smile.

"I am only just beginning to learn the basics. This little skill is really... really hard to catch your lordship's eye."

"It's not possible now, it's just because of lack of experience, it doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future."

Dou Ya tapped the armrest with his fingertips, his voice low and firm.

Totosai's heart trembled, but before he could open his mouth to refuse, Toga King had already made the arrangements directly.

"From today on, you will stay in the City of Mountain Teeth and practice with the bodies of high-level monsters and refined ores."

Douya leaned forward slightly, his gaze falling on Toudaisai, his pupils reflecting Toudaisai's tense figure.

"When your skills are improved, I will give you the corpse of a great monster to forge a sword for you."

Facing that gaze that was as hot as molten gold, Dao Daosai felt as if the air in his lungs had been evaporated by that sight.

His heart was pounding against his ribs and his blood was pounding in his temples.

As a mid-level monster struggling in the demon world, all he can come into contact with on a daily basis are the skeletons of ordinary wild beasts and the remains of low-level monsters.

Even slightly rarer ores and the skeletons of intermediate monsters require fighting and scrambling.

The bodies of high-level monsters are only heard of but never seen.

Not to mention the corpse of the big monster, that is a priceless treasure that you dare not even think about.

Daodaosai's canine teeth unconsciously bit his lower lip, and the taste of rust spread across the tip of his tongue.

He saw that his calloused hands were trembling, not out of fear, but from the instinctive trembling of a swordsmith.

The forging diagrams that he had conceived during countless sleepless nights, and the forging methods that he had never been able to try due to material limitations, were now swirling wildly in his mind.

The temperature of the flame, the timing of tempering, the fusion of demonic power...

Those magical weapons that once only existed in fantasy are now within reach.

Douya Wang had a faint smile on his face as he stared at the young monster quietly.

He understood this desire too well—it was the obsession that set the craftsman's soul ablaze when faced with peerless materials.

With a dull thud, Dao Daosai's forehead hit the ground heavily.

The dust between the cracks of the bluestone slabs was slightly lifted up by the vibration, and flew around in the beam of light coming through the window lattice.

"Taidaosai...I am willing to forge all the sharp edges in the world for you, my Lord!"

The voice was hoarse, but filled with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Amidst the splattering sweat and flying dust, Dao Daosai seemed to have seen - in the sword-making furnace with surging flames, a pitch-black demonic sword was taking shape.

Snow-white lines flowed on the blade, and every breath it took exhaled terrifying demonic power.

That is an unparalleled and vicious blade that is powerful enough to make hundreds of ghosts kneel down and change the color of mountains and rivers!

"My name... along with the divine weapon... will be passed down through the ages!"

This thought swept through his body like wildfire, burning every nerve in Daodaosai.

He subconsciously glanced at Ru Ya from the corner of his eye, as if he was looking at his benefactor.

Totosai's canines dug deep into his lips.

If this Crow Tengu had not forcibly abducted him, he would probably still be in the lava ruins of the crater, fighting with those insignificant little demons for a few pieces of scrap metal.

There is no chance to touch...the corpse of the big monster!

Ru Ya noticed the gaze and looked at the frenzied craftsman, remembering his incessant complaints during the escort.

Now, I’m afraid I can’t drive them away even if I try.

Being looked at by Ru Ya, Dao Dao Zhai lowered his head hastily, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face——

It was the ecstasy of a trapped beast seeing the sky, and the madness of a craftsman encountering a miracle.

"Well done...very well done! I'll bring some cakes back for that little girl named Wenwen."

Dao Daosai let out a silent cry in his heart, his nails already piercing into his palms, suppressing the ecstasy that wanted to scream.

"Your loyalty is gratifying to me, but—"

The deep and powerful voice of King Douya echoed in the hall, like thunder rolling in the distant mountains.
