Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

"If it's true."

Donglan chimed in, "Then it's even more worthwhile to stay."

"The Great Dog has gone to the monster graveyard, so there is no possibility of him being resurrected."

"After the lord is resurrected, we will defeat the dog clan, spare the lives of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, and give them a chance to take revenge, thus repaying our debt of gratitude."

"We'll all listen to our eldest sister."

Donglan looked at her younger siblings who agreed and continued, "We're currently living under someone else's roof, so we still need to be careful."

The three nodded to each other.

Chunlan suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, at the banquet just now, I felt that Inuyasha's gaze towards me was a bit off."

Xia Lan blinked, raised an eyebrow, and teased, "Remember when we fought last time, didn't Inuyasha sniff your scent? He seemed quite satisfied with it then."

"Xia Lan! Don't talk nonsense!" Chun Lan shouted unhappily, "I would never be with Inuyasha!"

Qiu Lan chuckled, but Xia Lan and Chun Lan glared at her and shut her up.

Dong Lan didn't smile, but the lines at the corners of her mouth loosened slightly.

The snow fell silently outside, and the snow piled up on the eaves, growing thicker and thicker, with the occasional dull thud of a branch breaking under its weight.

The charcoal fire in the stove burned quietly, casting the shadows of the four people onto the paper door, like four branches of a tree.

Chapter 43 Taming

The night was deep and quiet, and the room was filled with a subtle fragrance.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, falling into the room and reflecting off the shimmering water.

After the blush-inducing, sensual music faded away, Inuyasha lay on his side, propped his elbow on the pillow, lowered his head and kissed the corner of the woman's eye, whispering, "Get some rest."

One day husband and one hundred days of grace.

A half-demon with strong likes and dislikes, he likes female demons a little more than he uses them.

"Where to?"

As Jieluo watched Inuyasha get up, she flicked her finger and the clean clothes on the clothes rack fell into her hand, which the man took casually.

"I need to speak with Li Tao about something."

Inuyasha put on his outer robe, picked up the earthenware pot that was suspended by his hair and hovering in front of him, and turned his head to look at Yura, who was as beautiful and bright as a rose under the dew.

He smiled and said, "You just need to rest. The cats are still a bit wild. You can spar with Donglan tomorrow."

Although the leopard cat, which had been winning battles outside, was respectful today, it still needed to be taught a lesson to let it know its strength and weakness.

Moreover, Yura, who awakens her unique spirit armor [Thousand Threads], needs a sufficiently powerful demon to test her own strength.

"Yes, young master Inuyasha."

The female demon knelt and saw the man off until the door closed, then she lay back down in bed.

'Inuyasha...who does he want to resurrect? The priestess who once guarded the Shikon Jewel and sealed him to the Sacred Tree?'

Clutching the bedding filled with the scent of her lover, Jieluo took a deep breath, looked up at the bright moon outside the window, and slowly closed her eyes.

Outside, the wind whistled through the copper bells under the eaves, producing a delicate and clear sound.

Inuyasha walked up the wooden corridor, the candlelight that burned all night illuminating his path.

Kikyo's spirit bones are in Maple Village, and the demon girl Uta also has them. If you want to revive Kikyo, you can start working on it in the next few days.

But the leopard cats didn't care for the terracotta figurine's body, so he certainly wouldn't like it.

How can a cold, lifeless body in a grave compare to the warm, beautiful body of a woman?

In Inuyasha's mind, the best medium for resurrection lies on Hourai Island.

There are clones of bellflower there.

If Kikyo's soul could be brought back, it would undoubtedly be a perfect resurrection.

But... is it really that easy to revive the living? And what will the price be?

The silver-haired half-demon didn't know.

He pushed open the door at the far end of the attic and stood at the edge of the terrace.

The moonlight blanketed the ground in silver, making the city lord's mansion even more desolate under the night sky than during the day.

Inuyasha took out a clay pot from his sleeve, placed it on the railing, hooked the corner of the sealing talisman with his fingertip, and peeled it off.

With a soft "poof" sound.

A wisp of bluish-gray smoke billowed out of the can, rapidly expanding and condensing in mid-air, eventually forming a hunched, gaunt figure that had been severely beaten.

Before the ghost girl Rito could react, a hand had already gripped her throat.

Inuyasha tightened his grip, lifting her off the ground.

Li Tao's toes dangled in mid-air for a moment, his crimson eyes widened suddenly, staring intently at the pair of golden eyes before him.

The pupils held moonlight and the shadows of distant mountain ridges, yet the eyes themselves were like two pools of deep winter water, calm and indifferent.

Li Tao, whose memory was still stuck in the torture by the leopard cat, let out a soft, breathy sound, and cold sweat seeped out from his back, soaking through his tattered black robe.

She had lived for countless years and seen the eyes of countless monsters—greedy, fierce, cunning, and insane—but she had never seen such calm and serene eyes.

will die!

One wrong move and you could really die!

Li Tao shivered, his back tensing as if he had been doused with ice water.

She tried to beg for mercy, but felt the hand on her neck tightening its grip.

You can even hear a faint cracking sound from the neck bones between the knuckles, as if they could crush your neck at any moment!

The old hag couldn't understand where she had offended this evil spirit!

Are you confused?

Seeing the confusion and fear on Rito's face, Inuyasha smiled and said, "This is indeed our first meeting, but it won't be our last."

"So don't be afraid, the pain will pass quickly."

The more the half-demon in front of him said this, the more terrified Li Tao became.

"Litao, welcome to the team."

A wisp of flame seeped out from between Inuyasha's fingers, coiling around his five fingers like a snake.

Azure flames of Kagutsuchi.

The flames clung to Li Tao's skin without any heat, causing a burning pain that seemed to seep out from between her bones, as if someone were scooping out her internal organs one by one and throwing them into molten iron.

The old woman opened her mouth to scream, but her throat was tightly gripped by that hand.

He could only manage a hoarse gasp through his teeth, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Inuyasha watched as her face contorted and changed drastically, her deep-set eyes twisted into unrecognizable shapes, and her lips twitched as they opened and closed.

While it's true that you can't punish someone for something they didn't do, it doesn't mean you can't commit unilateral violence either!

Then Inuyasha raised his other hand and made a sweeping motion with his index finger.

A transparent barrier surrounded them from all sides, completely enveloping the two of them. The sounds of the wind, snow, and the bells on the eaves were all shut out in an instant, and the area inside the barrier was as quiet as if it had sunk to the bottom of the water.

He didn't waste these past few months.

With double the talent, he had already mastered some commonly used barriers and sorcery techniques, including flight, further enhancing his strength.

Inuyasha nodded in satisfaction and then loosened his grip slightly.

"...Aaaaaaaaahh ...

A piercing scream gushed from Li Tao's mouth, dry and sharp, like a piece of iron being snapped in two.

The sound struck the four walls of the barrier, bounced back, and bounced back again.

They collided back and forth in the limited space, layer upon layer, filling the entire barrier.

Inuyasha's ears twitched.

He listened to the desperate screams reverberating and echoing in the enclosed space, like a grand solo performance.

The azure flames still burned quietly on Li Tao's body, casting her hunched and struggling figure into a distorted silhouette.

The half-demon squinted, exhaled, and felt as comfortable as if he had drunk a pot of fine wine.

"...Much better."

With a thought, Inuyasha dimmed the flames and casually tossed the witch to the ground.

Li Tao rolled half a circle upside down, lying on his back with his chest heaving violently.

His gray hair was disheveled and pasted all over his face, making him look utterly wretched.

Inuyasha looked down from his high vantage point, the moonlight making his eyes appear clear and indifferent.

He chuckled, revealing his canine teeth. "Now, are you going to work for me?"

Li Tao lay half-prone, his eyes struggling to focus amidst excruciating pain and fear.

His smiling face was reflected in her pupils, the moonlight and shadows alternating on his face.

Her expression, which should have been gentle, sent chills down her spine.

The old woman's lips moved twice, and with all her might, she nodded shakily.

Chapter 44 Sparring

Inuyasha watched her shake her head, his smile deepening slightly. Moonlight fell on his profile, making his smile appear gentle and harmless.

"Litao," he said casually, "I've memorized your scent. Don't even think about running away again."

This nonchalant attitude sent a chill down Rito's spine, meaning that Inuyasha didn't take escaping seriously at all.

"From now on, I will be at the beck and call of the adults."

She would rather die than experience the burning sensation in her soul again.

Inuyasha bent down, grabbed Rita by the collar, and leaped from the edge of the attic terrace. The wind whistled past his ears, and when he landed, only two toes were left on the snow.

I'm thick-skinned and have demonic power to cleanse my body, so going barefoot is actually quite comfortable.

In the courtyard, two maids on night duty were walking by carrying a paper lantern.

Hearing the noise, they looked up and saw their lord standing between the moonlight and the snow, holding a figure in his hand.

Her silver hair swayed gently in the night breeze, making her look as if she had grown out of the moonlight.

He is undeniably handsome based on his appearance alone.

The maids trotted forward, stopped a few steps away, and bowed.

"Young Master Inuyasha".

Inuyasha turned his head to the side and casually raised his chin at them. "Take Rito to the retainers' quarters and settle him in first."

The maids responded and reached out their hands to help the old woman, whose legs were weak.

Inuyasha leaped into the air and returned directly to the attic room. He pushed open the door, and the room was still warm, with the lingering warmth of the charcoal fire carrying a faint fragrance.

Behind the screen, in the bedding room, Jieluo was lying on her side, one arm draped over the pillow.

Inuyasha casually took off his outer robe and hung it on the hanger, then lifted the blanket and lay down. He slipped his arm under Yura's neck and pulled her closer to his chest, inhaling the fragrant scent of the beautiful woman.

Jielu mumbled an "uh" and hugged him like an octopus.

The moon sets and the sun rises; a night passes.

When Inuyasha woke up, he could already hear the shouts of demons outside.

He groggily rolled over, reaching his arm to the side, only to find nothing.

The half-demon squinted at the window. The sky was bright, the snow had stopped, and the sunlight fell on the fresh snow on the eaves, making it dazzlingly white.
