It will probably take another day or two for the customers to disperse on their own before new customers arrive.

Her income won't be able to resume until then!

That was too hasty!

She sighed helplessly, but had no choice but to accept this reality.

When you need to buy something, you find that you don't have enough money and can't afford it!

Of course, she didn't have the heart to tell Nuannuan these things, otherwise she would probably scold her again, and she wouldn't want to cause Nuannuan any trouble.

Anyway, it's only a couple of days, so it's not a big deal.

Unfortunately, despite all the planning, no one expected that after consuming a large number of crystals last night, the energy would explode again tonight.

Overwhelmed by intense hunger, she quickly swallowed the remaining five crystals.

Unfortunately, the five crystals were far from enough to fill the huge gap.

After swallowing these five crystals, not even a ripple was made, and there was no relief whatsoever. Xixi felt as if she was about to be overwhelmed by this hunger, and all she could see were the crystals!

Finding crystals and then eating them has become almost her only instinct!

In the huge room, only one place still contained crystals, a spatial ring belonging to an unknown person, and ten bags of crystals belonging to an unknown person!

"Although you are not allowed to touch it unless absolutely necessary, the situation is urgent. I will borrow it for a while and will definitely return it with interest in the future!" She opened her spatial ring and piled ten bags of crystals in front of her, then put her hands together in a devout prayer.

Then, without further delay, he grabbed a handful of crystals and put them in his mouth, chewing them frantically.

Now that Fatty Orange is gone, she realizes that chewing these crystals is indeed quite a challenge for her teeth!

After chewing only five or six times, I felt my cheeks were chafing painfully, and my mouth tasted bloody, as if I had blisters somewhere.

But she couldn't stop; the instinct of hunger compelled her to continue eating.

Then she lost consciousness.

It seemed as if someone had entered. Unlike the tall and imposing Fatty Orange, the newcomer appeared rather thin, dressed in white, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

He seemed to say something to me, but unfortunately, I didn't hear it clearly.

Then the pain in my mouth gradually disappeared, replaced by a cool liquid that flowed down my lips and into my limbs.

She whimpered softly and eventually fell asleep peacefully.

However, when she woke up the next day, she looked around and found the room empty. She was lying on the floor next to the stone table, holding a bag of crystals in her arms.

Judging by the amount, she ate half of it in just one night!

She sighed, everyone said she made money like water, but they didn't know she spent it even more like water!

Now, not only is he penniless, but he also owes others half a bag of crystals, which, judging by the weight, must be more than three hundred!

This place would have to accommodate at least ten guests, and they would sit for five hours at a time. Just thinking about it makes me feel exhausted!

Early in the morning, Nuannuan called out from over the courtyard wall, "Xixi, are you up yet? The Yun-brand traveling merchants have arrived, and everyone is rushing to see them. If you're late, all the good stuff will be gone!"

"Oh, they're up!" Upon hearing the name of the Yun-branded traveling merchant, Xixi immediately perked up. She could still earn more crystals, but she hadn't seen her fourth uncle for a while and missed him terribly!

However, after getting up, he suddenly discovered that a small snake had somehow gotten wrapped around his neck.

It was fair-skinned and very obedient. When it saw her looking at it, it affectionately rubbed its cheek against hers.

"Little White! Is that you, Little White? Where did you go? I've been looking for you for days. I thought some male had picked you up!" If you had been picked up by a male in the tribe, you would probably have been killed and eaten!

Wow, that's so cruel!

Just thinking about it brought tears to Xixi's eyes, and they flowed uncontrollably like water from a tap that had been turned on.

Holding the little snake to her chest, she gently comforted it, "This world is so dangerous. You're still young and don't know how treacherous it is. You must stay here obediently and absolutely must not run around!"

The soft touch sent the little white snake into a daze, its eyes rolling back as it fainted.

Feeling the stiffness in her arms, Xixi was taken aback. She was about to take it out to take a look when Nuannuan outside urged her on. She thought that the last time the little white snake was like this, it recovered on its own after a while. Perhaps it had just hatched and didn't have enough control over its body yet.

She gave a forced explanation, then tucked the little white snake and Xi Da into her arms and followed Nuan Nuan out.

However, she did not notice that because of her touching and carrying such an action, the black mist that was originally wrapped around the little white snake quickly dissipated, and the little white snake returned to its original pure white appearance.

"I heard that this traveling merchant group went to the East China Sea a while ago and brought back a lot of pearl bracelets. They're so shiny and beautiful!"

"And sea salt! It's said to go through eighteen processes to be ground into a fine powder, so it only has a pure salty taste, unlike our coarse salt, which is bitter and astringent!"

"And another thing, this time the goods even include thermal vests! They're said to be filled with a pure white, soft, and fluffy material, so you won't be cold in winter if you wear them!"

"The raw materials come from the Central Continent, and only a very small number have been passed down. Even in Yunyao City, only important figures like the city lord are qualified to wear them!"

"I have no idea how they got hold of this traveling merchant group, they're really amazing!"

……

Throughout the journey, Nuannuan's mouth never stopped, chattering away like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, full of novelty.

Inspired by her, Xixi couldn't help but develop an anticipation for those novel gadgets as well.

Even though most of the males had gone out to fight off the beast tide, there were still many tribesmen left in the tribe. The arrival of the traveling merchants directly made the main road crowded. Even though Xixi wanted to go straight to the center to find her fourth uncle, she was forced to stay outside and could only move slowly forward with the flow of people.

The West is already covered in downy feathers. Although it can't fly very high yet, it can still flap its wings a few times.

Because of the crowd around, she simply crawled out of her mother's arms and jumped directly onto Xixi's shoulder.

The little white snake, however, did not mind and remained leisurely coiled on Xixi's chest, its bright little eyes occasionally peeking out from behind her collar, seemingly looking at something.

In the crowded conditions, Xixi lost her balance several times, causing the two little ones on her to sway along with her. Fortunately, Xida had wings, and with a couple of flaps, she regained her balance faster than her mother.

The little white snake wasn't so lucky; it was repeatedly flung up and bumped into something soft.

Instead of seeking a stable place or getting entangled with anything, he stubbornly nestled in Xixi's arms, letting himself be bumped back and forth like this.

Between each moment of stagnation and awakening, it sinks and tumbles, endlessly enjoying itself, never tiring of it.

Xixi didn't notice this either, as Nuannuan was pulling her to a stall. "Look, this is the sea salt I told you about. It's smooth and creamy, and tastes amazing!"
