Sesshomaru, My Foolish Little Brother! (Please Keep Reading, 4K Mega Chapter)

"Sesshomaru, my foolish little brother, it seems your strength has fallen far behind mine again!"

Having just finished beating Sesshomaru, Bai Ye felt refreshed all over.

After advancing to a First-Rate Yokai, Bai Ye's first thought had been to find Sesshomaru and test his own strength.

"Bastard, how can your cultivation progress so quickly?"

"Call me Big Brother!"

With that, Bai Ye punched Sesshomaru directly on the head.

"No! Why has your strength increased so quickly?"

A month ago, they had both been Second-Rate Yokai. Yet so little time had passed, and he was still a Second-Rate Yokai while Bai Ye had already become First-Rate.

"Who knows!"

Bai Ye did not dwell on Sesshomaru's refusal. His little brother had always been like this, and he seemed rather tsundere too?

Anyway, getting him to call Bai Ye big brother was harder than killing him.

As for strength, Bai Ye himself was surprised by how quickly his power had grown. The next stage was probably a powerhouse-level yokai. Though it was called powerhouse-level, it was not really a complete rank. It simply meant one was nearing the realm of a Great Demon, commonly known as a Great Demon Gatekeeper. At his current level, if he had a good weapon, he could be considered a powerhouse-level yokai.

Only upon reaching the Great Demon realm could one truly enter the club of powerhouses. During Inu Taisho's era, there had been many Great Demons, unlike Naraku's era, when Great Demons had already become exceedingly rare.

"Oh, right. I'm planning to leave Dog Castle for a while. Train by yourself for now."

Bai Ye and Sesshomaru had always trained together. Of course, that mostly meant Bai Ye beating Sesshomaru up one-sidedly.

Although the gap between them was not large, Bai Ye could always narrowly defeat him. This left Sesshomaru somewhat unconvinced. He had always been persistent in his training, hoping that one day he could defeat Bai Ye.

Of course, he had considered taking shortcuts before, but after realizing they probably would not belong to him, he felt somewhat disappointed.

"Leaving Dog Castle? Are you planning to join the war between Dog Castle and the Leopard Cat Tribe?"

Bai Ye already possessed the strength of a First-Rate Yokai. With a good weapon, he would have power approaching that of a Great Demon. Was he planning to find their father and take Tessaiga?

"No, not yet. I don't want to join the war right now. I still lack a weapon."

"You don't want Father's Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man?"

Sesshomaru looked at Bai Ye in surprise. He had assumed Bai Ye would go to the front lines and ask Inu Taisho for a weapon, but from the sound of it, Bai Ye seemed to want to forge a weapon of his own?

"My foolish little brother, what belongs to you is the best. The Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man may be powerful, but why not walk your own path?"

Bai Ye rubbed his forehead in frustration. Ever since Sesshomaru had been very young, Bai Ye had been instilling in him the idea that relying on oneself was best, rather than taking what belonged to others.

The Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man were indeed powerful. Tessaiga could seize the demonic power of other yokai and evolve all sorts of abilities. Tensenseiga could kill the messengers of the underworld and revive the dead. So'unga was an absurdly overpowered weapon, capable of allowing even Setsuna Takeshi, originally an ordinary human, to severely injure Inu Taisho.

There was no question that all three swords were extremely powerful, but Bai Ye did not need them. Sesshomaru did not need them either.

This could be seen from the original story. Inu Taisho had always been arranging the path Inuyasha would take.

Why?

Because Inuyasha was a half-demon, and his limit was right there. But Sesshomaru had inherited the perfect bloodline of Inu Taisho and Lady Rasetsu. He had his own path to walk and did not need Inu Taisho to arrange anything for him. In truth, this showed Inu Taisho's faith in Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru simply had not seen it that way in the beginning.

But after transmigrating into this world, Bai Ye had tried to change Sesshomaru's way of thinking. At first, he felt things were going quite well, but for some reason, Sesshomaru later became interested in Inu Taisho's swords again.

"You don't understand. You've never seen Father use Tessaiga."

Sesshomaru had thought the same at first, but later he saw Inu Taisho use Tessaiga. With a single swing, tens of thousands of yokai had turned to ash in an instant.

From that moment on, he had wanted to possess Tessaiga.

"So, you want Tessaiga?"

Bai Ye was speechless. After all that, Sesshomaru still wanted Tessaiga.

It truly was a cheat-level divine weapon, but Sesshomaru did not need it at all.

Yet Bai Ye did not know how to explain this to Sesshomaru.

Hearing Bai Ye put it so bluntly, Sesshomaru nodded without hesitation.

This was a youth who had even considered seizing the sword when his father was nearing death. Naturally, he would not hide his feelings.

Before meeting Rin, Sesshomaru truly was indifferent toward everything.

Even with Bai Ye, whom he had grown up alongside, although he did not show much rejection and their relationship was fairly good, he would not reveal much of the warmth in his heart.

Perhaps...

That was why Inu Taisho would not give Tessaiga to Sesshomaru, instead giving him Tensenseiga.

His demonic nature was too strong, too violent.

Bai Ye was silent for a while before shaking his head. His gaze swept over Sesshomaru. "Forget it. I'll still say what I said before. What belongs to you is the strongest. External power will always remain external. If it doesn't belong to you, then no matter how powerful it is, you won't be able to bring out its true strength."

He knew that trying to persuade Sesshomaru now was almost certainly futile. Sesshomaru would not listen to him.

"Then I'll be leaving first, Sesshomaru. I'm going to find Totosai and have him forge a sword that belongs to me."

With that, Bai Ye got up and left, preparing to search for Totosai.

"Young Master Byakuyasha, it seems Young Master Sesshomaru doesn't really want to listen to you."

Myoga jumped out from Bai Ye's hair. He had listened while Bai Ye lectured Sesshomaru just now, nodding continuously in agreement.

No wonder the old master had said that Bai Ye's future achievements would definitely surpass Sesshomaru's.

In the end, Bai Ye had a path of his own. He knew what he wanted and firmly believed that his own path was the strongest, rather than following Inu Taisho's old road.

What would be the point of taking the Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man?

He would still be following Inu Taisho's old path, and whether he could eventually surpass Inu Taisho would remain unknown.

"That's normal. That guy is incredibly stubborn. It's not time yet."

Sesshomaru had yet to understand the heart of protection!

Bai Ye had been human in his previous life. Although he had been reborn as a yokai and become the first child of Inu Taisho and Lady Rasetsu, he still possessed a human heart of protection. He would not become as extreme as Sesshomaru.

The current Sesshomaru was walking down the same old path as in the original story.

"It's a pity that the old master is also troubled by this matter. He originally wanted to place his hopes on you, Young Master Byakuyasha."

"Let that Old Man handle it himself. Don't dump these matters on me!"

Damn it!

Wasn't this Inu Taisho's own problem?

And he wanted to throw it onto Bai Ye?

"Hehe, the old master is probably having quite a headache over Young Master Sesshomaru too. But speaking of which, Young Master Byakuyasha, do you know you're about to have another little brother?"

Myoga asked tentatively. Not many people knew this news yet.

The yokai of Dog Castle only vaguely knew that Inu Taisho seemed to have fallen in love with a human woman.

"Now I do."

Inuyasha, huh.

It looked like Inu Taisho was not far from death.

"Yes, the old master plans to leave Tessaiga to him."

Myoga cautiously glanced at Bai Ye. If it had been Sesshomaru, he definitely would not have said anything. Inu Taisho had specifically instructed him to tell Bai Ye in advance.

"That old man hasn't even died yet, and he's already divided up his inheritance!"

It seemed Inu Taisho had not made the decision only on his deathbed.

He had thought it through while he was still alive.

But that made sense. Inu Taisho remained a King-Class Great Demon even without the three swords.

Tessaiga was essential for Inuyasha, but not for Inu Taisho.

"The old master has actually already thought it all through. Perhaps once these matters are completely settled, he will retire from the world."

At the end, a trace of sadness flashed across Myoga's face.

Inu Taisho had been fighting wars all these years. After inheriting his position, he had fought Great Demons such as Ryuukotsuki, Ryukotsusei, and Master Leopard Cat without ever stopping. He was tired. Once everything was resolved, he wanted to live with Izayoi and Lady Rasetsu and no longer concern himself with these matters.

He had already arranged everything. Bai Ye, who had his own path and unwavering beliefs, would inherit So'unga. Inu Taisho believed Bai Ye could suppress So'unga. Sesshomaru would inherit Tensenseiga, and Inu Taisho hoped he could come to understand the heart of protection. The half-demon Inuyasha, who had yet to be born, would inherit Tessaiga.

The three brothers would each inherit one of his weapons. Myoga knew it, Totosai knew it, and practically all the old retainers already knew Inu Taisho's arrangements.

"Retiring is fine. But retiring with a human woman? That woman will live only a few decades at most before she dies. Loving a human will only hurt yourself. Sure enough, only foolish half-demons would be with humans!"

Bai Ye had not agreed with those words at first.

But after one of his human friends died, his views changed.

It turned out that only foolish half-demons would be with humans.

Because they were yokai. Their lifespans were far longer than those of humans.

In these chaotic times, putting aside unexpected accidents, even those who lived safely to old age generally only made it to around thirty. Those who lived longer might reach sixty.

Watching his friend gradually grow old, even becoming so ugly in old age, and hoping Bai Ye would turn him into a yokai, Bai Ye came to see it clearly. Most humans, when facing natural death and seeing their former friends remain young, perhaps truly could not face it calmly.

And if one became friends with humans, one had to be prepared for them to leave first.

"Ahem, Young Master Byakuyasha, you can't put it that way. Perhaps you might fall in love with a human woman someday too?"

"Me? Sorry, Myoga, but I may disappoint you. I don't want to watch the person I love grow old and die before me, so I will never fall in love with a human in this life."

Bai Ye did not want the person he loved to leave him. Although Pure Gold existed in the One Piece World, whether he could find it was still unknown.

Besides, he had visited places where humans lived, but he had not met anyone who made his heart stir. Since coming to this world, Bai Ye only wanted to cultivate, not concern himself with anything else.

Only by becoming stronger could he protect everything he wished to protect.

"Oh, right, Myoga. What's the situation on the battlefield over there?"

This war was probably the one where the Leopard Cat leader was killed by Inu Taisho. Later, after Inuyasha was born, first Ryukotsusei, then Setsuna Takeshi, and Inu Taisho died just like that.

Bai Ye had always felt that Inu Taisho's death had been somewhat hasty.

Perhaps he had been injured while fighting Qinfang?

"The old master currently has the advantage, but Qinfang's strength cannot be underestimated. The old master is under great pressure too. If Young Master Byakuyasha went to the battlefield, perhaps it could ease things somewhat!"

Myoga actually wanted to persuade Bai Ye to go to the battlefield and help Inu Taisho share the burden.

But before returning, he had received Inu Taisho's orders not to persuade Bai Ye. Bai Ye was to decide everything himself. He had grown up, and Inu Taisho no longer wanted to control any of Bai Ye's decisions.

"I see. Then go to the battlefield and tell that Old Man I'll head over after I find Totosai and have my weapon forged."

Bai Ye thought it over before ultimately deciding to go to the battlefield.

Since he knew Inu Taisho was going to die, whether out of gratitude for all those years of upbringing or to change the plot, Bai Ye had to prevent Inu Taisho's death.

"Then thank you very much, Young Master Byakuyasha. Put me down here, and I'll report to the old master right away!"

"Mm."

"Hey!!! Young Master Byakuyasha, put me down!!! Don't throw me down!!!!"

Bai Ye was flying through the air, yet he directly tossed Myoga down from several hundred meters above. Myoga nearly burst into tears.

He had done it on purpose!!!

"Sorry, Myoga. I forgot you couldn't fly."

"..."

Did he really forget? Did he have no idea himself?

Myoga did not want to say more. His sorrow flowed into a river. Compared to Sesshomaru's violence, Bai Ye's scheming personality seemed to have been inherited from his mother, Lady Rasetsu. Staying with him meant one could be set up at any moment.

After dropping Myoga off, Bai Ye flew swiftly toward Totosai's residence. By nightfall, he was preparing to stop, rest for a while, and catch some fish when—

Moonlight spilled across the lake. A figure was slowly lowering herself into the water. Clothes and a longsword lay on the shore, while pure, holy Spiritual Power seemed to radiate from her entire body. Bai Ye looked at the person before him and unconsciously murmured, "Miko?"
