Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

Douya reached out and gently patted the girl's slender back. Lingyue, who had recovered, realized that she had already wrinkled the corner of her clothes and her nails had carved crescent-shaped blood marks on her palms.

"Then, as you saw, I failed to bring Masako back."

The Dog King looked at his lost daughter and said softly, "But, Masako didn't choose to reincarnate. When you become a great monster, you can meet Masako."

Ling Yue's eyes lit up instantly, and joy returned to her originally gloomy face.

After the girl calmed down a bit, Douya looked at his father-in-law and suddenly thought of a wise saying -

Any misfortune in the world is caused by the lack of ability of the parties involved.

"So, we must become stronger and invincible all the way!"

Douya thought to himself, then looked at the Dog King and asked, "Is it the same with the Great Elder and the others?"

"Every great monster clan has the right to call the deceased from the underworld to say goodbye, but reincarnation is the law of heaven and earth. Except for a few people, everyone must go to reincarnation."

Douya understood what the Dog King meant. Without the great monsters to support the great elder at all costs, he would definitely fall into reincarnation.

The Dog King also expressed his attitude when he was in the fortress.

Douya also understood this and continued to ask, "How long does it take from entering the underworld to reincarnation?"

"To be reincarnated, the deceased must pass through the underworld, cross the Sanzu River, pass through the Judgment Hall, walk through the Punishment Layer, and finally enter the cycle of reincarnation."

The Dog King looked at Douya, who had fallen silent, and guessed his thoughts. He continued, "There's no set timeline."

"Don't think too much about the underworld. What you should be thinking about now are matters in the world of the living, such as your wedding date."

The Dog King changed the subject and his tone became relaxed, saying that there should be great joy after a great victory.

He thought of the first elder and the second elder, who both proposed marriage for Dou Ya in the end.

In addition, in the entire tribe, only Douya was so outstanding and impeccable, so his attitude gradually softened.

It also saves these two people from having wild thoughts and being too eager for quick success after hearing about the underworld.

"When to get married? You two can discuss it among yourselves. I won't worry about it."

After the Dog King finished speaking, he felt a little regretful.

He no longer wanted to see the two of them, especially Dou Ya's happy expressions, so he turned around and left the hall with a hint of desolation.

When passing by the bronze bird lantern where Ling Yue played when she was a child, his fingertips paused for a moment at the bird's beak - there were tiny tooth marks there left by his daughter when she was young and had her teeth changed.

"Masako, our daughter has grown up..."

The back of the Dog King under his robe was as straight as a spear. He was still the great monster who once dominated the Western Kingdom, was famous throughout the world, and scoured the underworld with a sword.

"The man she's chosen is the one I've watched grow up. Even though I don't want to admit it, that guy... is pretty good!"

The situation in the hall was just as the Dog King had expected. Dou Ya and Ling Yue were instantly overjoyed when they learned that he had finally given in.

When she heard the word "wedding date", the tips of Lingyue's ears suddenly turned red like the morning glow.

She glanced at him coquettishly, her face full of joy, and her tail behind her almost turned into a windmill of fangs.

Douya's dog ears stood up uncontrollably, and the light of dawn flowed in his golden eyes.

He saw the tiny hairs on Ling Yue's crimson ear tips trembling under the night pearl, just like the petals that fell on her nose when she stood behind the cherry tree and watched him practice swordplay on the day they first met.

Without waiting for Dou Ya to speak, Ling Yue lifted her skirt and turned around, accidentally dropping the cherry blossom scented embroidered handkerchief, and walked towards her boudoir with light and cheerful steps.

But he glanced back at the threshold.

The movement of her eyes clearly contained the intoxication of a thousand-year-old wine, but when it met Douya's scorching gaze, it turned into cherry blossoms falling in April.

She lifted the hem of her dress as if fleeing and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Only the lingering fragrance and the bluebird startled from the corridor expressed all the unspoken thoughts for her.

"This girl is shy."

When the crimson figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Douya put aside his worries about the underworld.

Things are done by man, and the environment is created by the mind.

Without the strength of a great monster, you are simply asking for trouble.

"After you have the strength of a great monster..."

Dou Ya reached out and picked up the cherry blossom embroidered handkerchief left by Ling Yue. The girl's body temperature still remained between the silk embroidered with dark patterns.

He sniffed gently, then pressed the embroidered handkerchief to his pounding heart.

"Oh, then I'll go with my father-in-law and split the waves of the Sanzu River to see how thick the earth is!"

"How can my wedding with Lingyue be without the witnesses of the elders?"

The young general's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, but in the end, all of them were put on paper.

He couldn't wait to go home, to his secret study, and write down all his thoughts.

The Western Kingdom will soon usher in a long period of peace, which is the perfect time to vigorously develop the ethnic group.

Organize the three predetermined armies, eliminate the marauders in the Dog Tribe's territory, and plan the Dog Tribe's development direction...

It also gave Touga a free hand to think about whether to look for Penglai Island next, or to find the missing royal swordsmith Totosai to forge Tessaiga for him.

Another clan in the Western Country that possesses high-level monsters and seems to be related to the underworld is the Morinuko clan, so perhaps we should also visit them.

After the war, things suddenly became more complicated and Douya subconsciously quickened his pace.

When he returned to the mansion, he saw two people kneeling at his door.

Chapter 53: Four Celestial Beings

The shadows under the eaves were cut into pieces of gold by the setting sun. Dou Ya walked over holding the hilt of the Ya Sword and stopped five steps away.

The dense eyelashes cast a blade-like shadow on the eyelids, and the golden pupils swept across the two kneeling generals.

"general!"

The four celestial beings have all arrived. Qi Tian and Hong Xiegui looked at Dou Ya waving his hand and stepped aside with some worry.

The four of them fought side by side. Qi Tian and Hong Xiegui came here to plead with Dou Ya.

But seeing Douya's calm expression, all the words he had prepared retreated into his stomach, and he could only wait nervously.

Hearing the sound, Yu Yanwan, who was kneeling at the door, had a body as strong as an iron tower, which became hunched like a broken bow, and his red hair mixed with sand fell to the ground.

The claws dug deep into the ground, and fine beads of blood spurted out from the knuckles under the heavy pressure.

The skinny Shun Lei Ya beside him pressed his forehead against the ground, his back stretched as if it were a torture rack.

Her short indigo hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her sunken cheekbones, and her dark eyes were fixed on the cracks in the bluestone floor.

The tails of the two men were hitting the ground in a disordered rhythm, raising fine dust mixed with the bloody smell of unhealed wounds.

"General, please punish me!"

As Douya's shadow loomed over them, the two men slammed their foreheads to the ground.

The spider-web-like bloodshot in the scarlet pupils trembled violently with the movement, and the hoarse voice was filled with rusty breaths.

"general!"

Driven by comradeship, the Red Evil Ghost just mustered up the courage to shout, and Dou Ya raised his hand to stop Qi Tian, ​​who was following his husband's lead.

His armor jingled slightly as he leaned forward, his silver hair brushing against the back of Yuyanwan's spasming hand, and his silver armor reflected the warm light of the setting sun like molten gold.

When his palms held the two people's arms, the warm demonic power flowed over their tired and overdrawn bodies like a hot spring.

"Based on your speed, the distance between the two places, and the inevitable number of miscellaneous monsters on the road, you may not even have time to rest on the way."

Douya's voice was gentle and low.

"If my subordinates do their best but are implicated and punished due to unforeseen circumstances, then the one at fault should be me, the general who failed to foresee the situation."

"general……"

Yu Yanwan, who was helped up by Douya, had two mists floating in his red eyes, which had not wavered even when he was hit by the poisonous whip of the Leopard Cat Commander.

His voice was trembling, and his throat seemed to be choked by something, so he couldn't utter complete words.

Shun Lei Ya, who didn't like talking, opened his lips slightly but couldn't make any sound.

"Rest well and recharge your batteries. You will soon have to continue fighting for the Dog Tribe."

"Yes, sir!" the two men answered in unison. Although their voices were still a little weak, they were more determined.

Douya patted Yuuenmaru and Shunraiya on the shoulders for the last time, turned his gaze to the relieved Hong Xiegui and Qitian, and his expression became serious.

"You should also prepare yourself. Without the threat of ocelots, it's time to properly clean up the environment in the territory."

"Yes, sir!" Red Evil Ghost and Qi Tian responded in unison.

"Go down."

As Douya's footsteps gradually disappeared at the door, Yuyanwan's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed all the sobs.

Shun Lei Ya bent down silently and cleaned the mud off his body.

After calming down, they bowed deeply to the door.

Qi Tian grinned, his exposed fangs gleaming amber in the sunset.

His palm, as big as a palm fan, slapped on Yu Yanwan's back, making the opponent's armor rattle.

"Let's go! Let's go to the training ground and wash off all this dejection!"

Before he finished speaking, the iron tower-like Yuyanwan had been wrapped around the neck by his iron-hoop-like arms.

The other hand grabbed Shun Lei Ya's shoulders - the two members of the Tianzhong who could charge into a group of leopard cats without changing their expressions were now being carried by Qi Tian like two wilted puppies.

When Qi Tian laughed loudly, the bulging blue veins on his neck trembled with the sound.

He deliberately bumped the side of Yuyanwan's face with his forehead, without stopping the movement of his hands, and grinned while pinching Shunlei Ya.

"Whoever loses the fight will be responsible for the rest of the meal!"

As he spoke, his back teeth rolled heavily, chewing up the anxiety he had just suppressed and mixing it with his heroic laughter.

"Let me go, I can walk by myself!" Yu Yanwan, whose face turned red and breathing was difficult due to being hugged by Qi Tian, ​​quickly came out of the trough.

On the other side, because of the height difference, Shun Lei Ya, who was like an elder brother dragging his younger brother, was even wondering whether he should punch Qi Tian in the laughing face.
