After Jin Ling left for the inner city, Qiao Xixi and Xijing had lunch.
After eating her fill, Qiao Xixi didn't rest. She decided to take advantage of the early hour and head to the market to see if she could trade for the herbs she needed.
It was probably the afternoon by then, as the number of beastmen in the market had dwindled.
The remaining beastmen were mostly trying to trade for things that weren't of much practical use.
After looking around for a while, Qiao Xixi finally spotted a male Deer Beast in an inconspicuous corner with a wide array of herbs displayed at his stall.
"Xijing, let's go take a look over there."
"Alright."
The male Deer Beast was just about to pack up his stall and head home when he suddenly saw Qiao Xixi and her companion approaching. His face lit up with pleasant surprise as he called out to them.
"What can I help you with?"
"I'd like to take a look first."
"Of course."
