"Sister, what do you mean? What monster? I think she's... she's very pretty." Much prettier than Xia Bingqing and this Liang Xiaoru combined, but she's too violent.

"Hmph, what's the use of being pretty? If you saw her true face, you wouldn't even want to look at her twice, even if she were a celestial being," Xia Bingqing mocked. Now she was just waiting to force this little bitch to reveal her true form, so that her Xun-gege would see this woman's true colors. Then, her Xun-gege wouldn't be bewitched by this monster and would obediently return to her side.

"Men, take this little slut inside!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several burly men came out of the factory, dragged Yi Yi inside, locked her in a large iron cage, and closed the cage door.

Xia Bingqing and the others followed them inside.

Yi struggled to move to the iron gate.

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her get away!"

"Don't worry, sis, watch me." Xia An chuckled sinisterly, reached for a nearby switch, and pressed it down hard.

"Ah—" Yi Yi screamed as she was right next to the iron gate, quickly curling up into a ball and moving far away from it. But then she accidentally bumped into the edge of the iron bars, letting out another painful scream.

So Yi simply curled up and nestled in the middle.

"How interesting! What's going on?" Xia Bingqing said smugly. She was pleased to see Yi Yi in pain and discomfort.

Xia An puffed out her chest and replied, "Sister, you don't know this, do you? As soon as I pulled this switch down, the entire iron cage was connected. If she touches any part of these bars, she'll get an electric shock. There's no way she can escape!"

"I didn't expect you to be so clever."

"That's right, Young Master Xia, I never imagined you were not only so handsome but also so smart. You're really amazing to come up with such a brilliant idea." Liang Xiaoru flattered him with an expression of admiration.

Xia An was overjoyed by the praise, and his eyes couldn't help but scan Liang Xiaoru from head to toe. "Beauty, this young master has even more impressive skills. Would you like to see them?"

"Cough cough..."

Xia Bingqing saw through Liang Xiaoru's thoughts at a glance, snorted coldly, and said with a tone full of sarcasm, "These days, it seems that every pheasant wants to fly up to the top and become a phoenix, without even looking at themselves."

"..." Damn it, Liang Xiaoru is a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. In terms of looks and height, she is no less than Xia Bingqing. Why is she being humiliated by her again and again! Just wait, there will be a day when she turns the tables and takes charge!

“It’s normal for Miss Xia to look down on me, but we’re allies now. Now that we’ve captured this monster, we should work together to figure out how to make her reveal her true form so that Young Master Mu can see her true colors as soon as possible.”

What's your idea?

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Liang Xiaoru's eyes as she said, "I've seen in movies that when mermaids are captured, they're either electrocuted or sprayed with water, and they quickly revert to their original forms. Why don't we give it a try?"

"..." Xia Bingqing remained noncommittal.

"Young Master Xia, is there any water? Preferably a jet of water." Liang Xiaoru winked at Xia An.
