Acai's Sky

Chapter 151: Fragrance Search 10

Acai woke up in a daze, rubbed her eyes, yawned, stretched, and then looked out the window.

She was surprised to find that the sky was very dark, even pitch black.

She felt very confused and didn't know what time it was.

So she rubbed her temples, trying to wake herself up.

When she looked at the copy system, the time displayed was already past nine in the morning.

Acai hurriedly jumped off the bed, quickly packed up her things, and put away the formation plate.

She moved quickly, afraid of wasting too much time.

After a simple wash, Acai walked to the lobby of the inn.

She chose a quiet corner to sit down and started to enjoy her breakfast. While she was chewing on the fragrant buns, she observed the lively scene around her.

Although the lights in the inn lobby were dim, one could still make out the figures.

The hall was bustling with people. Besides these disciples from various sects, there were also some native residents of the Ghost Mansion and tourists from other cities.

Ah Cai noticed that because she was wearing the [Dark Night Orb], she could see everyone and everything in the dark as clearly as in the daytime.

Most of the people in the "Ghost House" looked half human, half ghost. Ah Cai observed them curiously and found that they actually floated when they walked.

Perhaps because they were wearing long clothes, it was impossible to see whether they had legs, but they walked without making any sound, like ghosts.

If you encounter such a scene on the road at night, you will probably be scared to death.

Let’s just treat people from other cities as human beings. After all, we are human beings too, so we should measure them by human standards.

The people from the "Ming Zhao Mansion" were truly eye-catching! Each of them had a human body and an animal head, and they looked like they had escaped from a zoo.

Moreover, their tempers seem to be somewhat similar to those of animals. They are very irritable and will resort to violence if they disagree with others.

If I accidentally provoke them, I might have to fight with them to solve the problem.

Looking at the people coming from the "Yellow Springs Palace", most of them are ghost cultivators, exuding a gloomy aura, as if they had just crawled out of the underworld.

Their faces were almost buried in the black cloak, making it difficult to see their features. They looked very scary. If such people walked on the street, they would probably scare children to tears.

Finally, let’s talk about the people from the “Styx Palace”. They all have a pair of wings behind them. I heard that they are descendants of the bird clan, so they have wings.

However, the colors of their wings are different, some are white, some are black, and some are colorful. These bird people are very proud, as if they are the masters of this world.

Those that didn't fully evolve into humans still retained bird heads, which looked quite interesting.

Ah Cai looked at so many people from other mansions rushing into the "Ghost Mansion" and was filled with doubts.

She didn't know why these people came here. Was there something important happening? So, she began to listen carefully to the conversations between these so-called humans in the lobby.

Thanks to the help of the copy system, otherwise she would have no idea what these people were saying.

At this time, a bird-man, oh no, it should be said that he was from the "Styx Mansion". He had an oversized peacock head and looked like a human. He walked up to the others and asked, "Why are you here so early?"

A humanoid with an oversized tiger head from the "Underworld Palace" chewed food and said incoherently: "Why didn't you come earlier? Now we don't even have a place to live. We are not like you who can rest under any roof." As he spoke, he continued to stuff food into his mouth.

Upon hearing this, the peacock-headed man immediately widened his small, round eyes and glared at the other party: "Can you speak? Tsk, it's because the 'Ghost Mansion' allows people to come in so easily, otherwise butchers like you can't even enter the city!" After saying this, he raised his chin provocatively.

After hearing this, the tiger-headed man put down his bowl, wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and retorted, "You are the most troublesome bunch! If the auction wasn't about to start, I would definitely beat you up and make you cry for your parents!"

……

At this moment, the innkeeper quickly floated out and asked with a smile on his face: "Dear guests, is there anything else you need?"

When Peacock Head saw the shopkeeper coming out, he decided not to argue with the Tiger Head anymore. After all, he still had to give the shopkeeper face.

So, he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Nothing, I just want to ask, where is the storyteller? Call him out!"

The shopkeeper still had a smile on his face as he patiently explained, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Yu is ill and needs to rest for a few days. So I won't be able to tell stories recently. Please bear with me."

Tiger Head said to the shopkeeper with a look of dissatisfaction: "Shopkeeper, you are really wondering why you keep these humans? Their bodies are too weak and they can't adapt to life here at all."

The shopkeeper smiled helplessly and explained, "It can't be helped. These humans are the only ones here who can tell stories, and they're all kept by the nobles for entertainment. I just want to keep a storyteller, what's wrong with that?"

Ah Cai frowned when she heard this. She knew that this place had been opened once before, but only one in ten people had returned.

So, where did those who didn't return go? Were they arrested?

At this time, a sinister person from the "Yellow Springs Mansion" sneered, "Why worry about the lack of people? Haven't there been a lot of outsiders recently? Can't we just detain them directly? Once the spatial barrier disappears, they will naturally be unable to return."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes at him and retorted, "We have rules here. We can only keep those who volunteer to stay here!"

Peacock Head looked at the shopkeeper with disdain and sneered, "Don't think I don't know. On the last day, you half-ghosts will drug those people and make them fall into a deep sleep. That way, they will miss their chance to leave and will be forced to stay."

Tiger Head also looked at the shopkeeper with disdain, his tone tinged with contempt: "Who are you looking for this time? These people who came this time are obviously much more powerful than last time. Don't let them capsize in the ditch!"

Ah Cai just watched them talking nonsense in the lobby of the inn quietly, and couldn't help feeling very surprised.

You know, there are disciples from other sects sitting in the hall at this time!

However, when Ah Cai looked at those disciples, he found that they were still eating as if nothing had happened, as if they didn't care about this matter at all.

"Ok?"

"its not right……"

Ah Cai thought to herself, "Could it be that they don't understand?"

"That's right. After all, this isn't human language. It's either the ghost talk of the ghost tribe, or the bird or beast language. Even if someone could understand it, they'd probably be confused!"

Thinking of this, Acai began to think about how to convey this important news to the disciples of all sects.

After all, they had just given her a space ring as a gift, and this could be considered a small reward from her to them!

Acai looked down at the copy system screen in his hand and remembered the video he had recorded when he was bored.

Originally, she just planned to take it back to show Yuan and others for fun, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Ah Cai looked at the disciples around her, carefully observing their expressions and movements.

Suddenly, a woman in a black long dress caught her attention. The woman was tall, with skin as white as snow, a pretty face and elegant temperament.

Ah Cai's heart moved, and she felt that she looked familiar. She remembered that this woman was the female disciple beside the mysterious elder.

At that time, she had also accompanied the Great Elder to give Ah Cai a space ring. Now, seeing her appear here, Ah Cai couldn't help but feel curious about her.

So, Ah Cai quietly walked to the table where the woman was sitting and said in a low voice, "Fairy, please come to room 301 after dinner. I have something urgent to tell you."

After saying that, A Cai quickly left the restaurant and returned to her room to wait for the woman to arrive.

At this time, a group of female disciples from the Jiuyou Xuannv Sect were sitting around a table, chatting and laughing.

One of the young girls smiled and said to the woman sitting in the middle, "Big Sister, that adventurer just now seemed to want to talk to you about something important. Why don't you go check it out? When you come back, tell us what interesting things happened!"

The woman called the eldest sister was the woman Acai had just met, named Youlan.

She smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then she turned to look at the other junior sisters and instructed them, "Take your time to eat here and don't rush to leave. When I come back, we'll act together again. Don't leave alone. Remember, everyone here is not simple, so you must be cautious."

Several female disciples listened to what the eldest sister said and nodded. They knew that they would go back to their rooms and wait after dinner.

Senior Sister Youlan put down her chopsticks, stood up and walked towards the No. 1 room.
