Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

Douya understood and gently squeezed Lingyue's soft palm. "Let's go, it's time to toast the guests."

"Ah."

Ling Yue pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her fingertips elegantly tidying up her hair that was messed up by the wind.

She also considerately smoothed out the slight wrinkles on her husband's clothes.

The two men walked in holding cups, and the first people they wanted to toast were naturally the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Father, Mother."

Douya held the wine glass in both hands and bowed solemnly in front of the Inu King and Lady Masako.

The sunlight filtered through the wine, casting amber spots on his resolute face.

Ling Yue followed closely behind, holding the cup in a dignified yet charming manner, the pearls in her hair swaying gently as she lowered her head.

Upon seeing this, the Dog King's originally majestic brows suddenly relaxed.

When he picked up the wine glass, his broad palms trembled almost imperceptibly - this great demon who was once invincible on the battlefield now had red eyes like an ordinary father.

Mrs. Masako gracefully covered her face with her sleeves, but could not hide the tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

"Be happy."

The Dog King raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, his voice a little lower than usual.

Mrs. Masako gently put down her wine glass and suddenly reached out to straighten her son-in-law's collar.

"If Lingyue is wronged..." Before he finished speaking, the familiar glare made Douya straighten his back immediately.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law."

Douya saluted solemnly again.

Ling Yue chuckled softly and held her parents' arms.

Yakumo Yukari gently waved her folding fan, and her amethyst-like eyes followed the newlyweds' toast thoughtfully.

Especially at the table of female relatives, the graceful Kaguya paused for a moment.

"It's really fun."

Zi blinked playfully and took a small bite of the sakura mochi that she was twisting with her fingertips, while Youyouko, who was standing next to her, was already holding the fifth plate of pastries, her cheeks puffed up.

She looked like a hamster that had successfully stolen food, with even the ends of her hair covered in icing sugar.

The Hunpo Yaoji beside him coughed a few times, but what responded to him was a satisfied and cheerful sound, which made the old swordsman who was very concerned about his image frown.

After Qi Tian refilled the glass with the amber wine, Dou Ya brought Ling Yue to the table of the great monsters in the world of the living.

Plutomon was the first to stand up, and the bronze armor transformed from its tortoise shell made a dull clashing sound as it moved.

Tsuchigumo slowly put down his pipe.

Daitengu adjusted his hexagonal hat and slightly spread the wings behind him.

The moment the four gazes met in mid-air, demonic energy stirred up invisible ripples—

Who can be won over, who can be united, and who should take action in advance are all clear in each other's minds.

Ling Yue raised her glass and smiled at the right moment, easing the tense atmosphere just right.

After three rounds of drinking, the wine in the cup reflected the flickering candlelight, turning the unspoken words into the rich aroma of wine.

When the last drop of amber liquid slid into their throats, Dou Ya and Ling Yue had already walked hand in hand to the table of guests from the underworld.

"Thank you for your presence in the netherworld."

Dou Ya and Ling Yue stood holding cups.

The three-eyed spider stood up and raised his glass.

"Gudong-ha!"

Komachi raised her head and drank the wine proudly. The clear wine slid down her slender neck, drawing a crystal-clear trail on her snow-white skin, and finally sank deep into her clothes.

She wiped the wine stains from her lips and gave Douya a generous smile, "The groom must enjoy his drink~"

Yakumo Yukari raised her wine glass gracefully, and her charming eyes looked over the rim of the glass and blinked at her new husband.

This made the newlywed wife suddenly feel nervous, and her fingertips unconsciously dug into Douya's arm.

"Mmmmm! Happily ever after!"

Youyouzi puffed out her cheeks stuffed with snacks and shouted blessings incoherently.

The soul demon Ji handed her the wine glass with a dark face. She took it and drank it all in one gulp. As a result, she choked and slapped her chest. The ghosts floating around her were in a hurry to help her breathe.

Dou Ya calmly drank the wine in his glass, bowed slightly to the guests, and left with Ling Yue, finally coming to the table of the women.

"You guys go enjoy the banquet too. You don't have to follow us."

Dou Ya spoke to Qi Tian and Hong Xiegui, but his eyes fell on the women who were sitting upright.

Ling Yue gently stroked the jade ornaments in her hair with her fingertips, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

"I'll take care of this table." She tilted her head slightly, and the crescent jade ornaments cast a warm glow in the sunlight.

"My lord, it would be better for you to return to the main seat and wait for your subordinates to come and toast you."

Before she finished speaking, she had already picked up the wine jug with an elegant and dangerous smile on her lips.

Her delicate hands moved lightly, filling the cup with fine wine for every beauty present.

Ling Yue had a smile on her lips, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her every move showed the demeanor of a lady.

It made all the girls smile sweetly, and the subtle fragrance was like a hundred flowers competing for beauty.

But there was a turbulent undercurrent beneath those flowing eyes, like an undercurrent in the deep sea, which made Douya's scalp tingle.

"Madam, you are absolutely right."

Amidst the women's inward roll of their eyes, his Adam's apple moved slightly as he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. "Take your time, everyone. I'll be right back."

Chapter 131 At the Banquet

"Your Highness is pouring the wine personally. It really flatters me." Zi Yan's eyes were full of smiles as she looked at the absolutely beautiful Ling Yue who sat down gracefully. She almost bit her back teeth to pieces with envy.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have come back. I should have gone to Kyushu before the wedding. Even if I had to starve, it would still be better than today.

"Congratulations to your Highness and the General on your marriage, may you remain forever united in love."

Ru Ya, who had the same idea, had a perfect smile on his lips and said words of blessing that made his teeth ache. He looked at Dou Ya who was gradually going away from the corner of his eye and sighed softly in his heart.

Watching the man I like marrying another woman, and they are such a perfect match, it feels like a thorn in my throat, and I can't say anything.

"No need to be so polite, everyone. Those who are sitting with us today are all close relatives and friends."

Ling Yue sat in the main seat, her clear eyes gently swept over Zi Yan and Ru Ya, with a subtle smile on her lips.

This smile, in the eyes of the girls, could almost be analyzed into a pie-shaped statistical chart.

Three parts dignity, five parts composure, and two parts of vague pride.

Mei lowered her head, her fingertips gently stroking the rim of the wine glass, not daring to say a word.

Under the table, a pair of small feet wrapped in tabi quietly crossed and unclenched, just like her chaotic mood at the moment.

I was happy that Dou Ya and Ling Yue finally got together, but for some reason, a kind of desire was born in my heart.

The former Moon Princess, still the size of a one-inch doll, sat upright on a specially made cushion. She picked up a piece of watermelon that Mei had cut for her with her slender jade fingers and put it into her mouth elegantly.

Kaguya narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze moving between the four people, a playful smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

Especially the happy atmosphere in the air, but the smoke of war below, made her want to slam the table and shout, "It's boring, I want to see a river of blood!"

Little Mica, who was temporarily acting as a mount, was wagging its tail boredly. Suddenly, as if sensing something, it jumped off the table.

During the meal, Ru Ya and Zi Yan's eyes met inadvertently, and in an instant, a hint of tacit understanding flashed in their eyes.

(Heh, it seems I'm not the only one thinking about this...)

Zi Yan's fingertips lightly stroked the edge of the wine glass, and the corners of her lips slightly raised; Ru Ya lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table.

——No words are needed, they already understand each other tacitly.

(Since Douya, that playboy, can't possibly stay still...)

(Then why not...)

They both raised their eyes at the same time, and there was an indescribable harmony in their eyes.

Ling Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes moved lightly between Zi Yan and Ru Ya, taking in their thoughts.

(Oh......)

The fairy's expression remained calm.

She had already seen through it. Trying to restrain Dou Ya's heart was like a monkey trying to catch the moon, which was futile.

That man's fickleness is just like his strength, changing every day.

Even if he agreed today, what about ten years? A hundred years? A thousand years?

Instead of making a big fuss and losing face, it is better to go with the flow while still having some benefits.

Thinking of the dog training secrets her mother had taught her when she was brought to the netherworld by the Dog King a few days ago, Ling Yue took a sip of sake, a cunning glint in her eyes.

On the other side, Douya was drinking with Binglanwan. He caught a glimpse of the happy scene at the women's table, and his tense shoulders relaxed a little imperceptibly.

(fine......)

He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, swallowing back an almost inaudible sound of worry.

God knows how worried he was just now. These girls overturned the table and drew their swords as soon as they disagreed with each other.

(After all, these are the girls that I, Douya, like, so they should at least care about some respectability.)

(Hmm? Wait a minute—)

His hand holding the cup suddenly paused. He always felt that there seemed to be something hidden under that overly harmonious smile that he could not understand.

(Forget it, as long as we don't fight, there will always be a way to coexist harmoniously in the future.)

Putting aside his worries about the fire in the harem for the time being, Douya looked at Binglanwan. Just as he was about to say something, a snow-white figure nimbly climbed up his trouser legs and squatted on his shoulder in the blink of an eye.
