Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

After Dou Ya left, Shi Lu leaned against the carved window lattice, watching the last ray of moonlight melt into the morning mist.

The outline of the palace wall in the distance was gilded by the rising sun, and brilliant rays of light flowed on the glazed tiles.

She stretched her waist lazily, her dark gauze dress outlining her enchanting figure in the morning light, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

The royal city gradually awakens in the morning light, and her world will usher in a new chapter from this moment on.

In the inner city, inside the residence of the Grand Physician.

The front yard clinic was filled with the aroma of medicine.

In the courtyard where the morning dew had not yet dried, Nura Karaoke was leaning against a century-old ginkgo tree to stretch his muscles. The collar of his crow-feather-patterned yukata was loose, revealing his lean chest wrapped in snow-white bandages.

The Yatagarasu stood on the treetop, breathing in and out towards the morning sun, a warm golden glow emanating from its body.

In today's inner city where every inch of land is valuable, the front yard of the clinic is not big, and only high-ranking officials of the royal court can live here.

Passing through the moon-shaped gate that is off-limits to outsiders, the two-story building in the backyard where the Fighting Tooth King once lived still has bamboo curtains hanging.

Kaguya of Penglai Mountain was wrapped in a brocade quilt embroidered with stars and moons, her black hair cascading across her pillow, and she was sound asleep in the morning sun streaming in through the window.

The Moon Princess, who always sleeps until the sun sets, didn't even flutter her eyelashes at this moment.

Dou Ya's figure emerged from the void, with the ends of his silver hair carrying tiny streams of light that traveled through space.

He stood quietly beside the couch, admiring Kaguya Begonia's face as if she was sleeping in spring - the girl's silver eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, her cherry lips were slightly parted and her breathing was even, and half of her arm, as thin as a snow lotus root, was exposed under the brocade quilt.

A teasing smile flashed across Douya's eyes. When he turned around, his clothes fluttered and he disappeared in the morning breeze in an instant.

After Douya left, the girl who should have been sleeping suddenly opened her glass-like eyes.

"Stupid dog... Stupid dog..."

Kaguya tugged at the corner of the moon-embroidered quilt and muttered softly, "You useless dog, you wouldn't even eat the Moon Palace Princess right in front of you..."

"Huh? Who's the useless dog?"

A male voice with a smile suddenly exploded in the house.

Kaguya was so scared that she pulled the quilt over her head and curled up into a ball.

After hearing no sound for a while, she cautiously poked out half of her blushing little face.

But before he could blink, Douya suddenly appeared, pinched his chin and kissed him.

"I'll go check out the front yard."

The silver-haired king let go of the panting girl and brushed his fingertips across the corners of her rosy-colored eyes.

Kaguya buried her hot cheeks in the pillow, leaving only the red tips of her ears exposed, and uttered a muffled "hmm".

In the front yard bathed in the morning light, the little crow Tengu Ayame walked lightly over, holding a vermilion lacquer dining table.

The steam from the medicinal food misted her undeveloped eyes and eyebrows.

The sunlight penetrated her raven-feather hair, casting tiny golden rays on her porcelain-white skin.

"Nura-sama, Yatagarasu-sama, it's time to take your medicine."

A silver bell-like voice reached his ears. Nurarihyon, who had been taking a short rest under a tree, opened his eyes. The girl's joyful figure was reflected in his eyes. "Ayame, you had a lot of fun coming to the royal city with us this time."

"Of course."

Chang Pu placed the food tray on the bluestone table and said excitedly, "This place is much better than Mount Kurama where there's nothing!"

"Everywhere is bustling with activity in celebration of His Highness Seshomaru."

Yatagarasu, the lord of Mount Kurama, turned pale upon hearing this.

Although it was a crow in disguise and his facial expression could not be seen, the sharp gaze from the tree branch had already made the hairs on the back of Changpu's neck stand up.

She quickly shrank her neck and hid behind Nurarihyon, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed as she secretly glanced at Yatagarasu.

After knowing that it was Nurarihyon who killed Taotie and saved Mount Kurama from danger, Ayame felt much more friendly towards this unruly monster and no longer called him "the monster who eats and drinks for free" in her heart.

At this moment, she was grabbing the slippery corner of her crow feather-patterned sleeve, as if she had found the most reliable shelter.

"Just pamper her."

Seeing Hua Piao protecting Ayame, Yatagarasu snorted coldly, but said nothing more.

He spread his wings and landed in front of the bluestone table. His jet-black beak pecked at the medicinal food, savoring it for a moment before suddenly changing the subject. "The king has summoned you to the royal city to receive your reward. Have you made your choice?"

Hua Piao's hand, which was rubbing Changpu's head, paused slightly, feeling a little distressed - they were originally recuperating in Yangzhou, and the imperial edict commending them for killing Taotie came as a surprise, greatly shocking the Nura clan in Yangzhou.

However, the choice given by Douya Wang made it difficult for him to make up his mind.

"One is the promising Military Council, and the other is the current governor of Yangzhou, who holds great power. It's a difficult choice!"

Upon hearing this, the Yatagarasu almost knocked over the medicine bowl, and its pitch-black wings trembled in annoyance.

As a "foil" who was invited along and actually came to avoid trouble, listening to my friend's Versailles speech at this moment, I felt that the medicinal food might have been mixed with ten kilograms of lemons - very sour!

Anyone with a brain can see that it is inevitable that the royal court will unify the world.

Furthermore, with Toga King's overbearing taxation and census policies, even the great monsters cannot stay out of it.

After experiencing the Taotie disaster, Yatagarasu also gave up the idea of ​​living in seclusion.

If one could enter the royal court under the command of Feng Changqing, gain a religious status, and enjoy the worship and offerings of the people...

Yatagarasu stared at the reflection of the swaying medicinal soup in the bowl, and the fire of ambition burned in his dark pupils.

When the world is unified, this will be a hundred times more promising than being a mountain god on Mount Kurama!

——In the past, Amaterasu Omikami was able to ascend to the ninth heaven, so why can’t he, Yatagarasu?

Of course, the King of Kings and the God of Gods is still the Lord of the Supreme Royal Court!

"Look how proud you are."

The Yatagarasu used a calm tone to mask the bitterness in its heart, its jet-black wings folding slightly. "You'd better make a decision quickly. You must know that the power of heaven is unpredictable. It is not wise to keep the king waiting for too long."

"I've already made up my mind, but I still want to..."

Before Naughty Ghost could finish his words, a clear voice like the sound of gold and jade clashing broke through the air.

"Now that you've made up your mind, why don't you just tell me?"

Everyone turned around suddenly and saw the Fighting Tooth King walking with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, strolling from the backyard, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart.

"Things have happened in Dongyun, and Yangzhou has been hit hardest. The positions of prefect and military commander need to be decided quickly."

Hua Piao was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he grabbed Acorus, who was still distracted by admiring the handsome man.

The three of them knelt on one knee in unison, their clothes fluttering in the wind, creating a slight sound.

"Greetings to the king!"

"They are all wounded, no need to be polite."

Dou Ya sat on the bluestone chair in the yard with familiarity. He still remembered that every blade of grass and every tree here bore traces of his careful arrangement.

Once upon a time, he also wanted to emulate the god of agriculture and cultivate excellent grain crops.

It was just boring research, really uncomfortable, and I chose to give up after a while.

Memories are as fleeting as morning dew.

Douya raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the three people like a knife, finally settling on Huapiao.

"Return to the King!"

Having learned from the few words that a war was about to begin, Hua Piao suddenly shattered the bandages on his body. The rags flew like butterflies, revealing his new skin with a healthy glow.

The palm that had been corroded into bones by the poisonous blood of Taotie was now covered with new light pink skin.

Kaguya's treatment method, which mainly relies on spiritual energy and supplemented by medicine, is truly commendable.

However, the art of medicine is profound and extensive. Without the painstaking effort of ordinary people to study it, even if they study it day after day for ten years, they can only serve as a medicine-making boy at best.

"I am willing to serve as the governor of Yangzhou and guard the gates of the royal court!"

The sound of the gourd was like a loud bell, startling the birds perched under the eaves. The pressure that was inadvertently released, even though a little weak, was enough to conquer all directions.

Changpu's lively big eyes rolled around, first stealing a glance at the majestic Douya King, then looking down at the blood-stained bandages scattered on the ground.

Her little face suddenly drooped slightly - she would have to clean up these dirty bandages later!

"good!"

Dou Ya clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his voice shaking the trees in the courtyard.

His gaze was as sharp as lightning. When he turned to the Yatagarasu, his piercing gaze could penetrate a person's heart. "As for you... I know what you want. Are you willing to take on the important task of becoming the commander of the Yangzhou Army?"

"I will not refuse even if I die!"

Yatagarasu's jet-black wings suddenly spread out, and one knee slammed heavily on the bluestone slab.

He knew what was going on.

After making military achievements, it will be a natural thing to transfer to Feng Changqing.

Dou Ya stood with his hands behind his back, his silver hair shining coldly in the morning light.

"My eldest son will be ascending the throne in two days. Once the ceremony is complete, you will depart for Yangzhou immediately."

"Together with the Mermaid Queen and eight hundred nuns from the Sea of ​​Eternal Life, as well as the Cang Ya Army and the Hundred Demon Tribe, we will take control of the East and Cloud States!"

The men's words were as resounding as thunder, "Nail Dongzhou and Yunzhou to the royal court!"

"I obey the king's orders!"

Nurarihyon and Yatagarasu knelt down to receive the order, their two pairs of eyes burning with the same fierce fire of war under their drooping foreheads.

In an instant, a blade light as smooth as jade flowed out from Dou Ya's waist.

Tianshengya's creative light poured down like moonlight, enveloping the two of them.

The demonic power beneath Nurarihyon's new skin began to surge, and every demonic pattern had an ink-like luster.

The Yatagarasu's jet-black wings were coated with gilded patterns, and its fallen old feathers turned into sparks in the air.

The numbing feeling of strength filling their bodies had not yet faded, but an even stronger desire was already boiling in their blood—this fleeting glimpse of power allowed them to see the scenery from a higher place.

They both want to improve so badly!
