Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

The whole process was incredibly easy, as if the sword in the lake had finally met its King Arthur.

Seeing this, Sesshomaru concealed the disappointment in his eyes, turned around, and took to the air.

If you don't have the Tessaiga, there's the Mizukumo-ga, and if you can't find it, you can just forge a new one.

Even without the Overlord Sword, Sesshomaru wouldn't lose to a half-demon!

"Young Master Sesshomaru, wait for me."

Xie Jian jumped up in a panic, grabbed the fluttering fur vest, and wobbled away with it.

After things calmed down, Yura came to Inuyasha's side and looked in the direction Sesshomaru had left, somewhat surprised.

"I thought he would just rob me outright."

If it were Sesshomaru from the original work, he would indeed resort to force to take it.

But faced with a different Inuyasha, a younger brother with a completely different first impression, Sesshomaru, with his pride, couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Whether we rob it or not, it won't change the outcome." Inuyasha tucked the Tessaiga into his belt, but then remembered something else.

In the original story, Sesshomaru was defeated by the Tessaiga thirty years later. Severely injured, he was protected by the Tenseiga's barrier and fell into a mountain forest, where he met Rin.

Now that the butterfly's wings have already flapped, is this still possible?

Chapter 22 Maple

'Who cares?'

'I've already transmigrated, why should I care about the plot? I'll do whatever makes me happy.'

Inuyasha composed himself, put his arm around Yura's slender waist, and amidst the female demon's giggles, they returned the way they came.

Upon returning to the mountains and forests of the present world, he picked up the black pearl from the ground and gave it to Jieluo.

"Keep it safe, there may be a day when you have to go to the crevice again in the future."

"Young Master Inuyasha, is this a token of our love?"

Jielu blinked, and under Inuyasha's slightly aroused gaze, smiled as she stuffed the black pearl into her ample bosom.

"I feel like this isn't a good way to put it. Let me see if it will fall."

Inuyasha stretched out his dog paw.

As dusk settled, the wind in the forest carried the scent of grass and earth.

The two embarked on their journey home.

He came for the Tessaiga, and left with a legendary sword at his waist.

The conflict in the Western Kingdom has temporarily come to an end, and Donglan and the other monsters, including Langyegan, have gone their separate ways.

With the tasks of building the city and finding the magic already underway, Inuyasha's task now is to go to Kaede Village and enjoy some time as a master.

During this time, quite a few troubles arose, such as a demon breaking into the daimyo's mansion where Inuyasha had lived as a child, and a demon being killed by a sorcerer.

Every few days, new news would be brought by the demons. Inuyasha would handle some of the work that he had to do as the leader, while the rest of the work would be taken care of by his subordinates.

He built up his power so that he could have an easier life, not so that he could be a babysitter.

And so, the Red Demon and the Black Demoness, having made a name for themselves, continued eastward toward Maple Village.

As dawn breaks and dusk falls, mountains and rivers recede beneath our feet.

Two months later, at dusk, the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red, and a familiar scent wafted over—Maple Village, we had arrived.

Inuyasha stood on the high slope at the entrance of the village, looking at the houses with smoke rising from their chimneys, the silent sacred tree in the distance, and the hillside where Kikyo lay in eternal rest in the distance, and let out a long breath.

"I'm back."

Jieluo stood beside him, following his gaze. She felt no joy at returning home; it was simply a matter of following her husband wherever he went.

Inuyasha withdrew his gaze and said, "The main force will arrive in a few days. I'll take you around to see the surrounding area and make some plans. When the time comes, you'll be my chief steward."

In his plan, the sacred tree and the bone-eating well, which are considered treasures, will become the back garden of the castle lord's mansion, and the original location of Maple Village will be the future location of the castle tower.

Then the inner and outer cities were gradually expanded. In those days, it would take several decades to complete a magnificent city.

But Inuyasha wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time to meticulously refine his capital.

When everything is finally done, Kagome will probably arrive too. Then I can move in and live with her.

As for the fact that we have taken over Musashi Province, which is the future Tokyo, let anyone who has a problem with it go and reason with Tessaiga.

Using their speed, the two of them quickly surveyed the location.

As the moon rose and its silvery light bathed the village, Inuyasha finally pushed open the door to Kaede's house.

Inside, a campfire crackled, and a pot of delicious fish soup simmered on the fire, releasing a rich aroma.

Inuyasha sniffed the air, looked at Kaede kneeling by the fire simmering soup, and waved with a smile, "Kaede, I'm back."

"Have you missed me?"

"I've been thinking about you for years, and you're back in less than three months."

Feng stirred the fish soup in the pot with a wooden spoon, turned his head and said irritably.

"I sensed demonic energy as soon as you returned. Who came back with you?"

Inuyasha walked to the campfire, picked up an empty bowl that had been prepared nearby, and handed it to Kaede with a smile, saying, "A friend. I'll let you meet him sometime."

He went to great lengths to get the female demon to stay at the sacred tree for the night.

While it's not impossible to bring Yura to someone's house, even Inuyasha wouldn't do something as stupid as bringing his current girlfriend to his wife's house to sleep.

Time is a wonderful thing; there are very few things it cannot change.

As you spend more time together and your roles change, many things will fall into place naturally, and there's no need to experience any dramatic or chaotic situations.

"I've been craving your fish soup on the way here. The taste of home cooking is still the best."

Feng took the bowl, filled it to the brim, and handed it back, but he didn't mince words, "Stop flattering me. You're eating and drinking well outside, you've forgotten about this simple meal."

"No way."

Inuyasha picked up the bowl, blew on it, took a sip, and squinted his eyes. "Hmm—Kaede's cooking is still the best. The meat roasted by those demons in the Western Country is nowhere near as good as your soup."

Feng's lips curved slightly, then she quickly pursed them, tucked her stray hair behind her ear, and asked casually.

"Is everything taken care of outside?"

"It's done."

Inuyasha gulped down his soup and mumbled, "I also recruited a few subordinates, so the village will be a bit more lively from now on."

Feng didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded and added another handful of wild vegetables to the pot.

The firelight illuminated her profile, making the eye patch over her right eye appear particularly glaring in the light and shadow.

Inuyasha laughed, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then handed it back, saying, "Another bowl, please."

Feng cursed "a starving ghost reincarnated" while taking the bowl, filling it to the brim, and handing it back.

The campfire crackled, and the steam from the fish soup filled the room. Outside, the moonlight shone like water, and inside, a bowl of soup and a meal were served.

After eating and drinking his fill, Inuyasha lay down on the floor, rolled over, took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, and casually placed it beside him.

"Here, I found this outside. Just apply it to your eyes, and it should restore your sight."

Maple, who was clearing the dishes, paused, not looking at the jar of medicine, but instead focusing her gaze on Inuyasha, who was lying on the floor with an indifferent expression.

The firelight danced on his silver hair, casting flickering light on his profile.

It was as if he had just casually said something like, "The weather is nice today."

Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and his throat bobbed gently.

After a long while, she lowered her eyes and continued to gather the bowls and chopsticks together, her voice indifferent, "...I understand."

Inuyasha didn't say anything more, turned over, turned his back to the campfire, and closed his eyes.

Feng washed the bowls and chopsticks, dried his hands, and sat down on the wooden shelf in the corner of the room.

She looked down at the jar of medicine, reached out and picked it up, holding it in her palm. The jar still carried the lingering warmth of Inuyasha's embrace.

She didn't open it, but just held it quietly for a while before tucking it into her clothes.

The campfire gradually died down, the night grew dark, and insects chirped outside.

Feng turned to the side and glanced at the silver-haired half-demon who was breathing evenly. His lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

She turned her head and gazed at the moonlight outside the window for a long, long time before closing her eyes.

Chapter 23 Bad Dog

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 "medicine" in the air.

This was a serendipitous find that Donglan had discovered 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 skilled in healing arts.

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

After some bandits selflessly applied the medicine for a period of time, it had a remarkable effect on the body, whether it was a new or old wound.

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."

"Use the Sacred Tree and the Well of Bones as our back garden, and build the castle tower 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 Sister Kikyo protected, and it's 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 like to feed on humans. Even if you can control your powerful demon subordinates, what about those wandering, lowly demons?"

“They won’t avoid you just because you’ve built a city, nor will they be afraid of your reputation. Instead, they’ll try to take advantage of the chaos.”

"At that time, villagers going out to gather firewood, collect herbs, or farm might be dragged into the forest and eaten at any moment—do you plan 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 alongside the villagers. The villagers live in constant fear, even sleeping with a knife in their hands. How are they supposed to get by?"

"Even if the monsters 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 cup 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 live together right away."

“The area is divided into two residential areas, east and west, with the sacred tree and Maple Village as the center.”
