399: Chapter 399 Chen Yi's Plan

Red Snake frowned, "So you've just kept it all this time and haven't really done anything about it?"

"That's right!"

Hua Liuli nodded, "I have been waiting for the right opportunity to deal with this trouble."

"Now that Chen Yi has taken the initiative to jump out and wants to purge the Black Ghost Market, let him give it a try!"

"Let's see how far he can go, and what methods he can use to shake this behemoth that has been operating for hundreds of years."

"Cleaning house and testing his abilities—killing two birds with one stone! Why not?"

"Red Snake, you should also withdraw and get some rest! Starting tomorrow, observe Chen Yi's actions closely and report to me at any time!"

"Very well, Your Majesty."

Red Snake bowed, and her figure merged back into the shadows, disappearing without a trace.

Silence returned to the study. Hua Liuli sat alone under the light, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of her teacup.

Her gaze drifted toward the window again, and she whispered to herself, "Chen Yi, oh Chen Yi, you'd better not disappoint me!"

On the other side.

After returning to his room, Chen Yi did not immediately talk to The girls waiting for him.

Instead, he walked to the corner of the room and took out a specially made communication rune stone from his pocket.

This was a communication tool given to him by Emilia, which could only be used between the two of them.

Chen Yi injected a trace of spiritual energy into the rune stone, and the gem immediately lit up with a faint glow.

He silently recited the content of the message in his mind and sent it out.

The content was very simple, just two words—Thank you!

Less than three seconds later, the rune stone flashed again, and Emilia's reply came through.

There was no text, only a voice that sounded directly in his mind.

"The six-hour reward, plus what you owed me before, makes a total of one day and six hours. Remember that~"

The end of the voice carried a faint laugh, as if he could imagine the silver-haired girl's playful expression at that moment.

Chen Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and put the rune stone back into his pocket.

Why does this girl only remember these kinds of things all day long?

He complained in his heart, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a smile.

It had to be said that Emilia's advice was accurate.

When formulating the plan, Emilia had analyzed Hua Liuli's psychology.

This Queen of the Demon Abyss Cult was not unaware of the problems with the Black Ghost Market.

On the contrary, she had likely wanted to remove this landmine for a long time, but just found it troublesome and couldn't be bothered to deal with it!

"Being the leader, yet wanting to remove your own organization—it feels strange no matter how you think about it."

"So she needs an excuse, a reason that can achieve her goal without making her seem heartless and ungrateful!"

"And you, Chen Yi, are the most suitable excuse provider."

That was what Emilia had said at the time.

As it turned out, Emilia's judgment was completely correct.

Everything fell into place!

Chen Yi turned around and looked at The girls in the room.

The girls looked at him with anticipation.

"How did it go?"

Black Rose asked first, "Did the Queen agree?"

Chen Yi nodded, "Not only did she agree, but she also gave me the authority to reorganize the Black Ghost Market!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of suppressed cheers erupted in the room.

Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong were so excited that their eyes turned red, and they both threw themselves into Chen Yi's arms at the same time.

"Thank you, Hubby—"

"Thank you, Husband—"

Chen Yi gently patted their backs, "Next, I will make the Black Ghost Market collapse! But before that—"

He looked around at The girls before him, who were full of affection and had followed him all the way.

The seriousness on his face gradually melted, replaced by a gentle smile.

"Let's relax tonight! Everyone has been wound too tight lately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Taotao cheered first and jumped directly onto Chen Yi's back, "Yay! Big Brother Chen Yi is the best!"

Chen Yi smiled and carried Su Taotao down from his back, "Of course I am!"

Soon, the room was filled with laughter.

The pressure, tension, and anxiety that had accumulated during this period were finally released at this moment.

For these girls, no matter how the outside world evaluated Chen Yi, and no matter what dangers they faced, as long as they could be with the person they loved, it was the happiest thing.

And Chen Yi also temporarily put down all his schemes and plans, immersing himself in this rare, warm time.

Because he knew that the real battle was about to begin.

Three days later.

Following his plan, Chen Yi awakened an S-rank Bloodline for another spirit beast girl.

After finishing his work, he did not rest, but immediately started to implement the plan to deal with the Black Ghost Market.

In the room, Chen Yi stood in front of a magic sand table, which projected a global distribution map of the Black Ghost Market.

Light spots of various sizes were scattered all over the world, all of which were strongholds of the Black Ghost Market around the globe.

Completely eradicating the Black Ghost Market was actually very simple!

As long as it was announced that the Demon Abyss Cult was behind the Black Ghost Market, it could be easily solved!

The reason those big families maintained dealings with the Black Ghost Market was ultimately because they did not know who was behind it, only that it was a power greater than their own.

The authorities also couldn't be bothered to deal with it; after all, many big families were associated with it, and there were even financial dealings with the authorities.

Plus, the Black Ghost Market was originally just an underground black market; even if it were purged, there would likely be another White Ghost Market or Red Ghost Market popping up, and it could never be fully resolved!

Anyway, the Black Ghost Market didn't kill or rob, and it kept its word, so the authorities just turned a blind eye and let it exist as a dark area for some upper-class circles.

But if the truth were revealed, it would be different!

Now, the Demon Abyss Cult was recognized globally as the largest dark organization, and it had already completely stepped into the open!

Once most families knew about this, they would likely distance themselves immediately and hurry to clear their names!

They wouldn't dare to admit that they had even the slightest connection with the Demon Abyss Cult!

In this way, the Black Ghost Market would naturally disintegrate!

The key point was, how could it be announced so that everyone would believe it?

Especially those big families; in order to avoid the scandal of their connection to the Demon Abyss Cult from being exposed, they would definitely do their utmost to prevent the truth from leaking out, and might even bite back, claiming it was a rumor!

Even if Chen Yi announced it, it would actually be useless.

However, as luck would have it, Chen Yi had a very useful card in his hand!

That's right, it was himself!

Chen Yi smiled, "Right now, I am being overwhelmed by abuse online!"

"After these three days of fermentation, and with me not coming forward to clarify, in everyone's eyes, it is almost certain—Chen Yi has betrayed everyone and defected to the Demon Abyss Cult."

"Right now, I am a member of the Demon Abyss Cult! At least in the eyes of all netizens, all media, and all factions, that is the case."

"Then, the thing to do is very simple!"

"I just need to publicly reveal the truth about the Black Ghost Market in the capacity of Chen Yi, a member of the Demon Abyss Cult!"

"In this way, those families who want to deny it must first prove that I am not a member of the Demon Abyss Cult—but that is something they simply cannot do!"

"Because the more they attack me and emphasize that I am a traitor, the more they are helping me solidify my identity as a member of the Demon Abyss Cult! And when I reveal the truth with this identity, the credibility will increase infinitely!"
