Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

Kaguya pressed her cheek against the cool bamboo wall, and the breath she exhaled condensed into fleeting frost flowers on the bamboo membrane.

Eternal life is like a butterfly imprisoned in amber, no matter how colorful its wings are, they cannot create even a single wave.

It was this hatred for "unchange" that suddenly arose one day.

Let her arbitrarily mix in the power of eternity and moment that she controlled when Bayi Yonglin was mixing the elixir.

When the Moon Head held the completed Penglai Immortal Elixir, he snatched it away and swallowed it in a moment.

Kaguya clearly saw the flash of astonishment in the other person's eyes - like ripples on the moon sea that had been calm for thousands of years.

"Your Highness, do you know that this violates a taboo?" Yonglin said with emotion.

"I know."

At that time, Kaguya smiled like a fox who had stolen the Tsukimi dumplings, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were dancing with the joy of having succeeded in her prank.

She deliberately shook the Penglai medicine in her hand, and only a thin layer of green liquid remained in the glass bottle.

"It's because I know the consequences that I have to do it."

When the sentence of exile was handed down, the Moon People, who loved the princess, were shocked by her calmness.

Only Eirin understood the excited heartbeat beneath the gorgeous clothes—

This girl who was imprisoned forever finally got the ticket to "change".

Even if the price is that I can never return to Yuedu, even if I have to face the filthy world on earth alone.

"Is it worth it?" Yonglin finally asked her.

"Of course it's worth it."

The sizzling sound of corrosion brought Kaguya back from her memories.

She looked through the gradually transparent bamboo wall and saw the purple-black poisonous miasma encroaching on the Penglai fairyland like a tide.

But the corners of the princess' lips raised a crescent-like arc——

In this withered landscape, she could clearly smell the salty and fresh smell carried in the wind. It was the smell of the sea and freedom.

"Eternal life is never short of the next opportunity."

Kaguya gently swayed on her toes, and the four-season patterns on her skirt cast a hazy glow.

She raised a slender finger to the air, tilting her wrist gracefully as if in a toast.

"Mr. Dragon Bone Spirit, and Mr. Dog Demon with the knife, please keep up the good work."

The faint light within the bamboo joints flickered with her whispers, casting the princess's figure in a swaying manner like a reflection in water.

"And those idiots in the Moon Palace said Penglai Island was the cleanest place on earth, but it's clearly filthy here."

Kaguya looked at the dragon bone spirit that was wreaking havoc cautiously, shook her head and yawned lazily.

"I'd better take a nap first. I hope that when I wake up, the bamboo barrier that binds me will have been broken."

As the last syllable fell, the faint light within the bamboo joint slowly went out like the receding tide.

The sounds of the strong wind and panic from the outside world gradually faded away, leaving only the green bamboo swaying gently in the wind. The outline of Yuedu was faintly reflected in the dewdrops condensed on the bamboo leaves.

The Moon Bamboo, specially made by Moon Palace Technology and rooted in Penglai Island, draws power from the entire earth veins to maintain the sealing barrier.

If Kaguya wants to get out, she can only wait for the Moon Palace's exile to end, or for the Penglai Island's ground veins to be destroyed and the power inside the Moon Bamboo to disappear completely.

As the purple-black miasma spread over the bamboo forest, the Moon Bamboo sank into the earth's veins.

………………

On the other side, Tensugaya's clone, whose consciousness was taken over by Touga, has already arrived at the Village of Half-Demons with Tsuriko, and together they met Zouko, who was leading many female monsters.

Two shrine maidens in samurai armor met in front of the barrier.

The armor shone with a cold luster under the moonlight, but it could not conceal their beautiful and gentle faces.

The light of spiritual power condensed at Zouzi's fingertips, and the light curtain of the barrier in front of her parted like flowing water, opening a path for Cuizi and Douya to pass through.

After the two entered, Yunmu, who was hiding behind Douya's neck, meowed and jumped lightly into Zouzi's arms.

The furry head rubbed her wrist affectionately.

"It seems that Little Mica hasn't forgotten me yet."

Zouzi smiled and scratched Yunmu's chin with his fingertips.

The kitten squinted its eyes in comfort, purred, and turned over to reveal its furry belly.

Douya looked at this scene and wanted to exchange identities with Yunmu.

"Looks like I need to learn the art of growing and shrinking. Although my Cloud Dog demon body is majestic and domineering, there's no way a girl can comfortably hold it in her arms."

When Douya's thoughts were drifting on the beautiful life of "how to transform into a puppy, lie peacefully in the arms of a beauty, and enjoy a warm life", Zouzi's gentle voice had turned to Cuizi.

There was a faint smile in her eyes, and her hands were still gently combing Mica's hair.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to see you anymore, but it turned out to be just a false alarm."

"wait for me?"

Cui Zi looked around and saw that the monsters in the half-demon village had weak fighting power and pure aura. The hand on the hilt of the sword relaxed slightly, and a trace of confusion appeared between her brows.

"Eh?" Zouzi blinked, "Didn't you receive my message?"

Then she smiled again, "It's okay, I'm glad you're here."

"Let's go inside first, and I'll tell you everything that's going on here."

Zouzi turned around and led the way, the hem of her red and white shrine maiden's costume trailing lightly in the moonlight.

The beautiful and mature female monsters, just like the villagers who were saved by Zouzi in the past, followed the shrine maiden closely.

Douya's eyes inadvertently fell on one of the women - that was Hong, the village chief of Hanyou Village, a prophetic monster with a "piece" race and bull horns.

She walked quietly among the monsters, neither showing off nor hiding, with a calmness bestowed by time between her brows.

His gaze did not linger for long, but his heart was still slightly moved by the feeling at that moment.

This is not because of Hong's appearance, but because of the prophetic power flowing through her.

This was the first time Douya encountered such a mysterious and obscure nature of demonic power.

"If I could devour it..."

As this thought flashed through Inu Daisho's mind, Hong in front of him suddenly trembled all over and looked back abruptly.

Fear and vigilance were clearly reflected in those eyes that could see through the future. His pace quickened a lot, as if he wanted to say something to Zouzi.

Douya's eyes darkened and he collected his thoughts calmly.

Cui Zi seemed to have sensed something and cast a questioning look at him.

He shook his head slightly, but his heart was already in turmoil - did this female monster sense his fleeting murderous intent, or did she see the scene of herself being swallowed?

"We can't just rush into this. Perhaps we can figure out a bright path through the inner alchemy method."

Douya wanted Ling Yue's cold and clear demonic power, Ru Ya's surging wind and thunder demonic power, Mei's yin and yang life force, and even Cui Zi's pure and powerful witch's demon-breaking power.

But he didn't even want to see these people getting hurt, let alone attack them.

Just as Douya's thoughts were swirling, Hong in front of him suddenly looked back.

This time, there seemed to be a gleam of light in her eyes, and her eyes were full of natural charm, which was completely different from the fear and vigilance just now.

This sudden change made Douya's heart move.

He vaguely grasped some key points, but they were as elusive as flowers in the fog.

"Humph."

A soft snort came from Douya's side.

Cui Zi was glancing at me sideways.

She really didn't understand why this seemingly steady female monster looked back at Douya twice in just a short moment.

The deep meaning in his eyes made her, a bystander, feel inexplicably concerned.

"Wait, why do you care about this?"

Cui Zi suppressed the strange emotion in her heart and followed Zou Zi in front of her into the village chief's house.

The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, without the usual tables and chairs, and only an antique stove in the center.

Zouzi pulled Cuizi to sit next to them, and everyone sat in turn around the fire.

Hong resumed her dignified demeanor as when they first met, and picked up the clay pot on the stove to pour tea for everyone.

Zouzi began to tell the whole story of this trip - the truth about the Penglai elixir, the invasion of the four fighting gods, and the cruelty of the dragon bone spirit.

And the monsters who live in the village of half-demons and want to pursue happiness and peace.

"Those Penglai Celestial Beings who disregarded human lives, and that troublemaking Dragon Bone Spirit, now it's time to pay for their sins!"

When Cui Zi heard this, a stern arc appeared on the corner of her lips, "It's natural."

"One of my purposes in coming to Penglai Island is to slay the evil monsters."

Amid the excited and grateful gazes of the female monsters, Cuizi turned sideways and introduced Douya, who was lost in thought, to everyone.

"This is the current overlord of the demon tribe of the Western Kingdom, the second most powerful demon in the tribe, and a world-famous monster - King Douya."

There was a hint of pride in her voice that she herself wasn't aware of. "Not only does he lead the powerful Canine Tribe, he also practices the concept of coexistence between humans and demons."

Chapter 109: The Coveted Douya, Cuizi vs. Dragon Bone Spirit

The room fell into silence, with only the crackling of the fire as the only sound.

All eyes converged like sparks, staring intently at Dou Ya.

What burned in the eyes of those banshees was not only hope, but also the excitement of finally seeing their home after years of wandering.

If there was already a country where humans and transsexuals coexisted, why would they need to bring their lovers across the sea?

On Penglai Island, which you thought was a paradise but was actually the abyss of hell, are you trying to survive by walking on thin ice?

A banshee with a pearl shell in her hair suddenly crawled forward on her knees, her trembling voice filled with cautious expectation.
