With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

The next morning, Ye Qing Huan opened up with something shocking.

"Let's go to the black market."

Lin Fan was completely taken aback when he heard this.

He raised a brow to look at her before asking, "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean what I mean, we're going to the black market in this town." She said with a calm smile on her face as if she wasn't bothered at all by what he said.

There was only confusion on Lin Fan's face when he heard this, but he didn't say anything as he just gave a simple nod.

There were still a few days before the Divine Blood Fruit bloomed and he just didn't know what to do during this time.

There were things that he could do, but they didn't seem efficient since there was Ye Qing Huan here.

If he were to try and gather information, there was no way that he would be able to do as much as the Heavenly Demon Sect's information network.

If he were to try and figure out a way to deal with the four sects, there was no way that he would be able to figure out a way that was more effective than the ways that Ye Qing Huan had already thought of.

If he were to laze around, then that would just be a waste of time

So no matter what Lin Fan did, there wouldn't be a single thing that would be more efficient than following Ye Qing Huan around and helping her with her preparations.

The only thing that he wanted was for her to be a bit more honest and tell him what she was doing.

It was just that it didn't seem like she was planning on telling him.

Lin Fan had no idea what she was planning on doing, so the only thing that he could do was follow her.

Or it was better to say that he was dragged along by Ye Qing Huan.

Instead of walking behind her like he wanted to do, she grabbed him by the arm and forced him to walk beside her the entire time. The way that they walked was almost as if they were a happy couple, it was just that their faces told a different story.

For Lin Fan, it was more that he was being forced to do what Ye Qing Huan wanted to do which caused a bitter smile to be on his face.

Ye Qing Huan's expression made it seem like she didn't care about this at all.

It seemed that she was just enjoying herself without a single care in the world.

That was the disparity in expression between the two sides.

As they were walking through the streets, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Is there even a black market in a place like this?"

After all, this was a small town in a small kingdom, it wasn't as if there were any important resources here. At the same time, it didn't seem like people that were that important passed through this place, so it wasn't as if there would be that many good items that would go to the black market.

Ye Qing Huan shook her head with a faint smile when she heard this before saying, "You're thinking is too narrow minded. A place like this is actually perfect for a place like a black market."

Lin Fan raised a brow again when he heard this as he didn't understand what she meant.

"Sometimes, it's best to hide things in places that no one would look." Ye Qing Huan said with the same smile on her face.

Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile before saying, "But wouldn't that make it obvious that it's here?"

Ye Qing Huan gave a simple nod as she replied, "Isn't that the point?"

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but he had no choice but to nod in agreement to this in the end.

A place that everyone expected to exist, there was value in having a place like that.

In a way, it was an open secret.

It was just that he had never heard of a black market in this place and he didn't think that there was anything worth selling in this place.

As if she could guess what he was thinking, Ye Qing Huan said, "Well, it's a place for different people to bring different things to sell. It doesn't have to be goods from the nearby area."

Lin Fan once again slowly gave a nod, but he still didn't think that they would be able to hide something like that in this small town.

Ye Qing Huan led them to one of the most expensive stores in the town in the end.

This was the place that one would never associate with the words 'black market', but here they were.

After arriving at this store, Ye Qing Huan went up to the counter and pointed at the masks that were being sold on the side.

Seeing these masks, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that it was strange that this place sold masks in the first place. After all, this was a jewelry and fine goods store, a place where masks didn't really seem to fit.

The staff member wasn't surprised at all to see her asking about the mask and instead asked, "What kind would you like?"

"Something that's a bit dark in colour." Ye Qing Huan said in a meaningful manner.

The staff member gave a nod when he heard this before gesturing to the back and saying, "Then will you please follow me into the back. There are more products in the back that I feel that this customer would like."

Ye Qing Huan gave a nod before following the staff member.

Lin Fan looked at the two of them with a raised brow, but he still followed them into the back.

Once they were in the back, the staff member suddenly stopped and turned around. Looking at the two of them, the staff member raised his hand as if he was expecting something.

Ye Qing Huan stepped forward and placed a piece of paper in that outstretched hand without saying a thing.

This time, it was the staff member's turn to raise a brow.

But that only lasted until he took a look at the piece of paper that Ye Qing Huan put in his hand. The moment that he saw that piece of paper, there was a shocked look that appeared on his face as he looked back up at Ye Qing Huan.

She didn't say a single thing as she just looked at him with a smile on her face.

It was almost as if she was waiting for him to do something with the way that she looked at him.

After being dazed for a bit, the staff member quickly turned around and took out two masks for us.

These were masks that covered our faces completely.

These were black masks that had gold trimmings on them, which made them look quite fancy.

Ye Qing Huan just took one to place on her face before reaching out towards Lin Fan with the other one.

Lin Fan just calmly took it and put it on his face as well before following the staff member forward.

They eventually reached a set of stairs that led downwards.

The staff member didn't hesitate to lead them down these stairs and eventually they came out to another shop.

This shop was just like the one that was above, but the things that it sold were completely different.

The things that were sold here seemed much more expensive and much more illegal.

At the same time, there were far more guards that were in this place compared to the store upstairs.

Lin Fan had already expected the black market to be underground since this was usually how things like this went, but he was certainly surprised when he stepped out of the store.

With the masks on, it didn't seem like the guards stood in their way at all.

It even seemed like the guards were overly respectful of them because of the masks that they wore.

Once they came out, Lin Fan was surprised to see that this place was well lit.

Though it wasn't just well lit…this place was as bright as it was on the surface.

It was almost as if there was a sun here even though they were underground.

When he looked up, he found that there was even a blue sky and clouds that were above them. Though he knew that there was no way that this was the real sky or real clouds since they were under the ground.

Ye Qing Huan saw the way that he looked up and said, "They put a lot of money into this place, so of course they make it look as good as they can."

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this, but he gave a simple nod in response before looking around.

Simply put, this place was a town that was under the town above them and it seemed like there were even more people that were in this town than the one above the ground.

Not everyone hid their faces like they did, but there was no doubt that these wouldn't be their real faces.

It was certain that everyone would hide their identity to a certain extent since this was a black market.

But this was definitely a strange black market where business was done in the open.

In short, this place was no different from a normal market above the ground.
