Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

Zi Yan, who was revered by Zouzi and the people of the city, was lazily leaning on the bluestone beside the hot spring pool, with the misty hot air swirling around her.

The purple hair like a waterfall scattered on the water, and the hair ends swayed gently with the waves.

She tilted her head back, letting the steaming white mist brush across her delicate collarbone, and the water droplets slowly slid down her beautiful curves.

"Heh... In this cold winter, soaking in a hot spring is indeed the most comfortable thing."

She parted her red lips slightly, and the white air she exhaled blended with the hot mist of the hot spring.

The slender fingertips played with the water surface, breaking up the warm sunlight reflected in the pool.

The faint scent of cedar emanated from her skin, intertwining with the scent of sulfur.

In the misty water, her curvy figure was faintly visible.

Occasionally, snowflakes fall into the pond, and before they touch the water surface, they melt in this warm world.

Zi Yan's beautiful eyes were half-closed, and her obsidian eyes were hidden under her long eyelashes.

The moisture condensed into tiny droplets between her brows, making her gorgeous face even more captivating.

The heat from the hot springs gave her skin a faint pink hue, like the first cherry blossoms blooming on a branch in March.

Amidst the swirling mist, suddenly a tall figure gradually became clear in the haze.

The man's muscular outline penetrated the white mist, and his golden vertical pupils, unique to the Cloud Dog clan, glowed faintly in the mist.

The snow on his shoulders had not yet completely melted, and under the heat of the hot spring, it turned into tiny water droplets and rolled down.

Zi Yan raised her chin lazily, and ripples spread out in the water with her movements.

"Hey, isn't this our Lord of the Royal Court—King Douya?"

Her tone rose slightly, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment. "Why do you have time to peek at someone bathing when you're not at home with your beautiful wife?"

Ever since she left the Mountain Tooth City last time, this bastard had only been in contact with her through Magatama. He came a few times occasionally, but he came and went in a hurry, wasting all her careful dressing up.

Dou Ya, who knew what the other party was complaining about, looked around, then admired Zi Yan's delicate body bathing and laughed softly.

"The entire royal court is my territory. The people and things here are all my property. How can I peek at it?"

"Besides, I asked you in advance if I could space jump over here."

"Now seeing this scene, how can you blame me?"

Douya slowed down his pace, his solid muscles faintly visible under his thin clothes.

Zi Yan hummed softly, and scooped up a handful of warm water with her fingertips and splashed it onto the shore.

"Whenever I say something, you always have a thousand reasons to contradict me."

"You disobedient little brother, stop pretending."

Water droplets splashed on Douya's exposed ankles and slid down the strong lines of his legs.

Their eyes met in the air, and for a moment it was hotter than a hot spring.

"Speaking of..."

Zi Yan suddenly lowered her eyes, her slender fingers unconsciously brushing across her snow-white shoulders. "I really don't know who will get this body in the future~"

Douya's golden pupils suddenly contracted, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

Seeing this little action, Zi Yan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and deliberately sank deeper into the hot spring.

Only the delicate collarbone and faint curves were exposed, and the purple hair spread on the water like silk.

"What? Didn't you say that everyone is yours? Now you don't even have the courage to get closer?"

Her voice was a little lazy and hoarse, like a feather gently touching the tip of my heart.

Douya's breathing became noticeably heavier, his eyes fixed on the figure in the water, his voice deep and deep.

"Don't make a fuss, I'm here to do serious business."

"Oh, business?"

Seeing this, Zi Yan opened her red lips slightly, exhaled a cloud of white mist, and lifted a lock of wet purple hair with her slender fingertips, slowly tucked it behind her ear, revealing her white jade neck.

Drops of water slid down her delicate jaw and dripped onto the hollow of her collarbone, emitting a lustrous luster.

Then she glided lightly to the shore like a nimble fish.

The ripples on the water surface reflected the sunlight, as if a pool of silver was scattered.

Just an inch away from Dou Ya's toes, Zi Yan suddenly stopped and raised her beautiful face.

Her wet purple hair stuck to both sides of her cheeks, making her skin look even more snow-white.

"Then tell me..."

She lay on the shore with her hands, and the white ball that was about to burst out pressed against the bluestone, making the man's eyes twitch violently.

Putting reality aside, Zi Yan chuckled and asked, "What serious matter could make Lord Dou Ya visit a woman's bathhouse in broad daylight?"

In the misty air, her obsidian eyes sparkled with cunningness, and a faint smile played upon her red lips.

The hot steam from the hot spring swirled around her body, and the faint fragrance of cedar mixed with water vapor penetrated into Douya's nostrils.

"My bad brother, who is more beautiful now, me or Lingyue Fairy?"

Watching the purple-haired lady slowly rising up, Douya could no longer restrain himself and strode into the pool. The hot spring water immediately stirred up a surge of waves.

"Is this what you call...business?"

Before Zi Yan could finish her words, her lips were sealed with a passionate kiss.

The suppressed cries of pain soon turned into emotional murmurs. Since the matter concerned the future royal family of the royal court, the discussion became more and more intense.

It was not until the bright moon was high in the sky that the rippling water in the pond gradually returned to calm.

The purple-haired beauty finally got what she wanted. She leaned on Douya's broad chest, closed her eyes and sniffed the man's scent, which was a smell that made her feel at ease.

After a long while, Dou Ya, who had recovered from his thoughts, gently stroked her smooth back. His deep voice was particularly clear in the night, "From now on, I'll leave the duties of the Imperial Court's Chief Minister to you."

Zi Yan opened her eyes upon hearing this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her obsidian eyes.

"Qing Zong Zheng?"

She stood up, water droplets running down her body. "Is this the position that records intermarriages between races, prevents blood mixing, and maintains pure bloodlines?"

Looking at the man who nodded hastily, Zi Yan suddenly chuckled and put her red lips close to his ear.

"Then...should our 'blood exchange' just now also be recorded?"

Warm breath sprayed on his ears, with a hint of teasing and a hint of seriousness.

"That's going to have to wait until you get pregnant..."

Pfft!

The water began to splash, and the excited woman started another round of fighting.

It is still unknown who will win this battle.

Chapter 181 respective preparations

The royal court, the city of mountain teeth.

The Lord of the Royal Court, who went out early and returned late at night, sniffed his body solemnly to find no strange fragrance, then walked out of the space passage calmly and landed in the Government Hall.

The black-armored guards standing in the hall were as silent as statues. Only the leading attendant stepped forward, holding a teacup.

Dou Ya took a sip of the tea, and the warm tea slid down his throat, reminding him of Zi Yan's snow-white and smooth skin.

He raised his eyes and looked towards the open palace door - the night was as dark as ink, the wind and snow were howling, but they could not hide the splendor of the royal city.

Thousands of lights stretch on both sides of the long street, like a galaxy pouring down to the world.

The hustle and bustle of the night market can be faintly heard, and the sound of stringed instruments can still be heard where the wine flags are waving.

This majestic city that never sleeps is piercing the sky with its dazzling brilliance.

The billowing smoke from the crowd turned into a colorful canopy from Dou Ya's perspective, hovering above the clouds.

The king's divine dog of luck was perched in it, stretching its body and absorbing the majestic power of all living beings, becoming more solid and majestic.

Today, the world is divided into three parts.

The three areas of Kansai - Kyushu and the Western Kingdom - have long been under the rule of the Dog Clan Royal Court. Tengu Mountain in Shikoku also surrendered and presented a letter of submission. Since then, the evil winds have been rampant, and everyone obeys the orders of the royal court.

The three regions of Kanto - Kanto and Chubu - have been conquered by the Beast King Kirinmaru, and he is currently conquering the last region of Ou.

Kinki Region - The central region that was conquered by Kirinmaru with force, the surviving monsters flocked to Kinki and formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the local monsters.

For a time, the strength of the Kinki region increased greatly, and the demonic energy soared into the sky, making it difficult for Kirinmaru to take care of both ends.

This allowed the royal court to sit back and watch the fight between the two tigers.

(Speaking of which, that magatama was taken away by Yorihime for several months. What on earth was that Yuyuko woman thinking?)

Douya couldn't help but sense where the magatama was, but unfortunately, it was blocked by the barrier, so he sent another message.

"Lord Douya."

Mei's small figure appeared at the door of the hall. She looked up and saw Dou Ya sitting on the throne, walking in with small steps.

Then, at Dou Ya's beckoning, she shyly sat beside him, raised her head, and spoke in a soft voice, but every word was clear.

"Madam Masako and Patriarch Saigyouji returned to the Netherworld during the day. Lord Da Sima also traveled to the eastern border of the Royal Court during the day and met with the Plutomon."

Douya reached out and touched her hair. Looking at the happy smile on Mei's face, he suddenly asked, "Did Lingyue ask you to say these words?"

Mei's little face froze, her expression a little flustered. As her eyes looked left and right, they met the man's smiling eyes again. Finally, she spoke honestly.

"Ah."

"Sister Lingyue saw that Master Douya hadn't returned for the entire day, so she said, 'Master...Master...'"

Mei's voice became quieter as she spoke. Suddenly, she covered her red cheeks with her hands and said with her eyes closed, "They said the adults must have gone out fooling around!"

Douya's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to wave away all the servants in the hall.

When the footsteps of the last guard disappeared at the end of the corridor, he flicked his fingers on Mei Guangjie's forehead.

"Woo!"
