Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

He swallowed hard, forcing back all the questions that were swirling in his mind, and obediently followed behind Sesshomaru.

As Xiejian walked, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance towards the kitchen.

He sniffed, inhaling the aroma of food in the air, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Goodbye, life of the elite.

Inuyasha emerged from the secret chamber and stood on the veranda, the evening breeze blowing his silver hair back.

The last rays of the setting sun sank behind the ridgeline of the distant mountains, burning the entire sky into a deep, rich golden-red hue.

He watched the two figures walk further and further away along the courtyard path, and stretched out a big yawn.

A series of soft cracking sounds came from his spine. The magic he had poured into his body, the mental energy he had consumed, and the blood he had sacrificed—all the fatigue seemed to be stretched and released by this movement, flowing away from his limbs and bones with the evening breeze.

"A long day has come to an end."

"We'll beat the demons with a stick at night."

"Tsk, being a leader must be really busy."

Inuyasha chuckled softly, "So, if I don't become the leader, who will?"

"Ha ha!"

Chapter 54 Going Out

A few days later, Donglan also embarked on a journey with the members of the leopard cat clan.

Before leaving, Xia Lan turned her head several times, wagging her tail back and forth. In the decades she had been traveling around, these few days had been truly comfortable.

Qiu Lan patted her belly, which had gotten a bit bigger, and gave a silly "hehe" laugh.

Chunlan said sternly, "We will take the resurrection technique seriously. Don't rush us. Just communicate with us by letter occasionally."

The kitten has figured out Inuyasha's methods and has become much bolder than before.

However, Donglan remained silent about who was in a hurry for the resurrection technique. She simply nodded to Inuyasha and Yura, who were under her tutelage, and then disappeared into the distance with the leopard cats.

"My Inuyasha, you're really not befitting a future lord of demons. You even have to send off a few little cats."

Jieluo stood beside him, feeling it wasn't worth it for her man to lower himself like that.

If it were Sesshomaru, that would be one thing; he's just a few demons who can't even beat her and who eat a lot of food, only slightly more powerful than Wolf.

With a "smack," the female demon fell silent after being bullied by her superior.

"What are you talking about? Who are you to tell me what to do?"

Inuyasha withdrew his hand and glanced sideways at the wicked woman who was always causing trouble, even if she wasn't disciplined for three days.

"Go back and settle accounts with me. This year is a crucial year for the development of Luoshengjing. We need to weed out the bad monsters and make the territory self-sufficient."

"This place is so tiny, with only a handful of cats and dogs under my command. Where do I get the airs of a demon lord?"

"Are you trying to be virile by leaning on me?"

Jie Luo gave the man, who was spouting nonsense, a charming glare, and left with the words "It's not impossible" before slipping back into the manor.

Inuyasha immediately gave chase.

He chases, she flees.

Finally, we had a great time.

Damn it.

What an absurd and sinful life.

After that, Luo Shengjing became much quieter.

The clamor of the wolf and other monsters was still there, but without the leopard cats that would bristle at the slightest provocation, the air was less tense.

Inuyasha had a few days of leisure, sleeping until the sun was high in the sky each day before waking up and eating.

They can either take a stroll in the courtyard or sunbathe on the rooftop.

Or you could go to Zenkenkyo to chat with Kaede about life, discuss your ideals, and inspect her work.

Two months later, the sun was shining brightly.

The spring sunshine felt like a fluffy, warm blanket after it had been sun-dried.

Inuyasha sat cross-legged on the roof of the pavilion, leaning against a thick wooden pillar, his silver hair being tossed about by the wind and then falling back down.

With one elbow resting on his knee and his chin propped up, his golden eyes half-closed as he gazed at the distant mountain ridgeline, he looked like a canine lying in the sun drying its fur.

He yawned.

"...Why don't you go out for a walk and get some exercise? Lying down like this all the time will make your bones rust."

He tilted his head and thought for a moment.

Monsters are prone to causing trouble when they are not restrained, so Yura cannot leave.

When a bad woman manages monsters, she can be truly ruthless. All the troublemakers under her are obedient and dare not cause any trouble.

While it's not impossible to leave for a short time, going out with a female monster always makes you feel the Tokyo heat and it always takes up too much time.

Even in Zenkenkyo, Kaede is indispensable.

Humans are, in some ways, more difficult to manage than monsters; the myriad forms of human nature create the monster of seven emotions and six desires.

Without a central figure to take charge, Zenkenkyo, which is currently undertaking large-scale land reclamation and infrastructure construction, will undoubtedly experience slower development.

Rules and regulations can only guarantee the minimum standard, but a united heart can create miracles.

Inuyasha counted them and found that everyone around him who was useful had their own job.

Only he, the city lord, was as idle as a stray dog ​​in the countryside.

"...So in the end, only one person can go out?" He grinned, gazing at a thin cloud drifting slowly across the sky.

So what if I'm alone? I managed to survive wandering around back then.

I'll just pick up a few subordinates along the way; if any of them refuse to obey, I'll feed them to Tessaiga.

You might even bump into Naraku, who's showing off and flaunting his existence.

That bastard knows he's still alive, he's probably so jealous he can't even eat.

Inuyasha patted his clothes, stood up, and stretched in the afternoon sun.

Her silver hair swayed in the wind for a few moments, then she took two steps toward the edge of the pavilion, leaned out and shouted down into the courtyard below.

"Jieluo—you don't need to cook for me these next few days, I want to go out for a walk."

A slightly reproachful female voice came from below, "I know—it's good that there's one less person to eat with! It saves me from having to think of all sorts of fancy dishes to serve you every day!"

"I am the city lord!"

Inuyasha added matter-of-factly, "Subordinates are not allowed to kiss their superiors!"

A disdainful snort came from below.

Inuyasha laughed heartily, then leaped off the roof of the pavilion.

He needs to make sure the women at home are well-fed before he goes on his long trip.

It takes quite a bit of time to travel between Rashomon and Zenkenkyo.

As for Granny Li Tao, she was sent to the Nine-Nine Toad's place for some fresh air yesterday.

The old hag is being squeezed into a small, dark room, spending all her time thinking about resurrection techniques. If she doesn't get out and vent her frustrations, she'll probably go crazy.

It just so happens that a few short-sighted lords have recently appeared on the border of the Toad Territory, wanting to come over and put pressure on the territory since it is developing smoothly.

It's a good opportunity to let that old hag stretch her muscles; it's a good way to make the most of her talents.

..............................

As the sun sets, the evening breeze rustles through the woods.

A group of warriors marched along the mountain path, their armor gleaming dullly in the twilight.

There were about seven or eight people, with long knives hanging from their waists. The leader had an old scar on his cheek and his eyes swept across the woods with a sinister look.

They stopped halfway up the mountain and looked down through the sparse shadows of the trees—on the newly cleared slope, several makeshift wooden houses were lit with dim yellow lights.

Smoke rose from the chimneys as several farmers, carrying hoes, walked back from the fields, talking as they went, occasionally punctuated by bursts of laughter.

The scarred warrior at the head squinted for a moment, then raised his hand and gestured behind him.

"Let's go."

His voice was low and cold, “The lord’s order—leave no one alive.”

The samurai drew their swords, the blades gleaming a cold white in the lingering twilight.

They crouched low and crept down the forest slope, their footsteps rustling on the fallen leaves like a pack of wild dogs that had caught a whiff of blood.

The samurai at the very back of the group paused, sensing something behind him.

It felt like a thin needle pricking the back of your neck, sending chills down your spine.

He instinctively turned his head—

A withered old face was hanging less than a foot behind him.

The old hag, Li Tao, grinned.

His eyes glowed with a faint red light in the twilight, his gray hair fluttered wildly in the night wind, and his lips were stretched so wide they almost reached his ears.

Let's play a game together!

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!"

Chapter 55 Climate and Thunder Beasts

In early summer in Zenki, everything is sprouting and growing.

The rice seeds sown in early spring have sprouted green shoots, and the fields are full of vitality, creating waves of light green in the breeze.

However, the weather this year is not ideal – there has been little rain since the beginning of summer, but the sun is scorching, and the soil on the ridges has developed fine cracks.

Several experienced farmers were standing at the mouth of the canal directing the water diversion. The simple canal made of bamboo tubes meandered all the way from the riverbank.

Clear water gurgled down the ditches and flowed into the fields, nourishing the thirsty rice seedlings.

The children weren't idle either.

Dozens of teenagers, led by the women, walked barefoot on the ridges of the fields, helping to carry bundles of grass and planks to block the water, their foreheads glistening with fine beads of sweat.

These children, who came from humble backgrounds, cherished the peaceful and happy life that Zenkenkyō brought them, and worked with even more energy than the adults.

Just like the city that was being built bit by bit, those bright, sparkling eyes held an incredibly bright future.

In the most magnificent courtyard on Shanjian Road, the backyard has a unique and elegant scene.

A man-made swimming pool shimmered in the afternoon sun, its bottom covered with smooth pebbles.

The pond water is drawn from the small river outside the courtyard, with fresh water constantly flowing in and overflowing from the other side.

Feng leaned against the pool wall.

The gentle ripples covered her shoulders, floating her long, loose hair on the surface.

Sunlight filters through the shadows of the trees, falling on bare skin that glows with a rosy, translucent sheen, as if moistened by moisture. Her face is like a peach blossom, and even her brows exude a sense of contentment.

The priestess turned her head and looked at Inuyasha, who was splashing around in the water not far away.

The half-demon was pulling forward with both arms, his head darting forward, splashing water everywhere and wetting a large area of ​​the stone slabs by the pool.

A natural-born dog paddle swimmer.

Others can't help but envy her.

Kaede's explanation only elicited agreement from Kaede, who simply said "Yes, yes, yes."

Enraged by such a perfunctory attitude, the half-demon captured the priestess and promptly carried out the family discipline.

Afterwards, Feng knelt down and begged for forgiveness, crying and shouting that he was the best at doggy paddle.

"The weather this year is a bit different from usual." The priestess covered her ample bosom with her hands. Although physical intimacy with Inuyasha was commonplace, her female instincts still made her feel a little shy.
