Your POV:

Then I started sprinting towards this "Wangshu Inn". 

When I got closer I realized that this place was crawling with humans. They were eating, standing, walking, running, sitting, there were so many and in one place. I don't have anything against humans they just ask an unnecessary amount of questions and me walking through would definitely raise their attention. Not only would I act different and talk different, I would also look different. My clothes were different, my aura is different and most of all my ears are different. I don't know why but back when I was alive mortals would always bombard me with questions about my ears. "Why are they so spikey?", "Are you an elf?", "Are they sensitive?". 

So I decided to do a scan of the place from the outside to see if I could sense any kind of strong aura...nothing. Nothing? Did that man from before lie to me? No. He had told me the truth. Most mortals crack under pressure. He seemed like the type. The mortal looked like he was in a life threatening situation. 

I tried again. This time I could sense something. Something familiar. I couldn't really put my finger on what it was though. Maybe a Yaksha really did reside in this building but if so they left some time ago. Hm. I guess I'll just have to wait. 

I walked away from Wangshu Inn and tried to find a suitable place where I could stay, at least for a few hours. I decided to stay by a big hill. The grass was soft and the rocks shielded from the harsh wind but there were a few demons I had to take care of before the place was safe enough for me to rest a little while. 

The demons were...something. They were incredibly easy to get rid of but I have never seen anything like them before. Most of them were really small and short but a few quite tall and muscular. One thing they had in common was their aggressive attitude and their weird masks. Why they were wearing masks, I did not know. Maybe it was a power thing? Like mine was. Or maybe they were given it at a certain age? I can't say for sure but now that they were gone I could finally after so long, sit down and relax a bit. I couldn't fully on close my eyes since a new type of monster is on the loose. I had to tread carefully.

I had been here for a few days but still never got a hold of this Yaksha. Though I've never actually seen them I've still sensed their aura once or twice. It's a very distinct aura, can't mistake it. Since I, somehow, got revived I've been fighting the mysterious demons, weak thieves, good old slimes and suspicious looking people with no visions but elemental power nonetheless. These suspicious people call themselves "The Fatui". Some of them are quite skilled in battle and others are pretty weak. As for the mysterious demons, I overheard some humans referring to them as "Hilichurls". An interesting choice of name but alas. 

Slimes are the only creatures I have encountered before, they're very unintelligent and easy to beat.

After a week of searching I started to lose hope. I had been looking nonstop all over the place for this Yaksha and only caught glimpses of their clothes. Their clothes was information I couldn't use at all. My friends could easily have changed their clothes over the span of, what?, 1000 years? I had to change my methods. I could ask some mortals if they had any information but that would probably raise suspicion because of my appearance. I was racking at my brain for answers or possibilities. I got it.. what if I just disguised myself as a human? That's bound to work right?

I stole fabric, tread and needle, then I started sowing. I had observed modern human fashion and found something I thought looked appealing to me. I think I did a pretty good job of making the clothes presentable. To complete the disguise, I changed my hair-style too. When I was done I walked over to the shore and looked at my reflection. Wow, I look like a completely different person, I guess that means that I did a good job... and now, for the actual challenge.

getting the information.

It was honestly easier to find a mortal than I expected. Two humans just going about their day. How should I go about this? I don't want to seem like an outsider but I also don't want to come off as rude. I'll just improvise. 

"Hey! I wanted to ask you two something." I said while coming out of hiding

"Uhh, sure! Ask away." the one with dark-blue hair said. His hair was cut in quite an.... artistic way. His clothes looked expensive and formal. While the boy beside him had light-blue hair and was eating a popsicle.

"I was wondering if you had heard about a certain Yaksha..?" I tried

"Hmm. Well it depends on which one you mean. Most of them are deceased now but there used to be more Yakshas! In my book it says here and I quote: 'The following Yakshas are named: Bosacius, Menogias, Bonanus, Alatus, Indarias and [A/N].' so which one do you want information on?" the dark-blue haired answered

"Uhm. Well I've heard rumors that one of them are still alive and I would like to know if that's true."

Then the light-blue haired boy stepped forward. "Yes. There is one Yaksha left. He goes by the name Xiao. He resides at Wangshu Inn but if you were hoping to meet him you can forget it he never lets anybody get too close to him." his voice was soft but he had a cold expression on his face

"Have you met him?" I questioned

"Yes, a few times but that's only because I'm an exorcist. He doesn't let normal people get close."

"Okay, you have my thanks! I really appreciate you helping me!" I thought I sounded stupid but I did it for my fellow Yakshas

"Oh, don't mention it. We're happy to help, right Chongyun?"

"Yes."

"I'll be headed off now. Have a nice day!" I waved and ran off

I could hear them shouting the word 'likewise' behind me. I finally had some valuable information. So the Yakshas a male and goes by 'Xiao' huh? 

I'll find you.
