"Of course… not!"
Qiao Xixi pursed her lips. "Then why are you wasting my time with nonsense?"
"Now that you've completed the mission, Host, I'll apply to unlock the store for you. Then you'll be able to exchange for supplies in the store."
"That's more like it."
Qiao Xixi got out of bed and left her room. Vaguely, she thought she saw a shadow flit past outside the fence.
"Who—who's out there?"
The fence gate was pushed open from the outside, and Jin Ling walked in, carrying firewood.
"It's me, Xixi. I saw we were running low on firewood in the yard, so I went to get some more."
Qiao Xixi glanced curiously toward the gate. She couldn't shake the feeling that the figure that had just walked by wasn't Jin Ling.
"Are you coming up the mountain with us today?"
"Yeah. I'll take the opportunity to see if I can catch any prey on the mountain."
The cold snap was coming soon. Their food supply was still limited, so they really did need to stock up.
