These are just ordinary police handcuffs. How could they possibly restrain a phantom thief with supernatural powers? Yi Youyou was locked up because she wanted to play along, but now she suddenly couldn't take it anymore and wanted to run away.

Will Qin Huanyu let her go?

of course not.

This time, Qin Huanyu completely abandoned her pretense, throwing away all ladylike reserve. She grabbed Yi Youyou from behind, picked her up, and threw her onto the bed.

While Yi Youyou was still flying in the air, Qin Huanyu's alloy tentacle tail quickly extended and precisely tapped a controller on a nearby piece of furniture.

The hidden mechanism that Qin Huanyu had secretly modified in the room was immediately activated, and the mattress of the large bed split open to reveal the hidden area underneath.

Yi Youyou fell right into the hidden area, on a thick blanket made of very soft down, but the blanket was surrounded by metal barriers with suspicious devices on them.

Click click click.

Still wondering about the hidden mechanism in Qin Huanyu's bed, Yi Youyou was caught off guard and handcuffed again. This time, four handcuffs locked all four of her wrists and ankles at the same time, while Qin Huanyu was already taking off her boots by the bedside.

"Heh... You don't actually think you can trap me like this, do you, Ayu?"

Yi Youyou snorted:

"The reason you were able to catch me is because I wanted to be caught by you... But wanting to be caught by you doesn't mean I want to be interrogated by you right now! So you idiot, you can sleep by yourself tonight. I'm going back to my room... Huh?"

As Yi Youyou spoke, she used her extraordinary power again to try to break free of the handcuffs. Unexpectedly, just as her spiritual energy was gathering, four tingling sensations simultaneously emanated from the handcuffed areas on her limbs. Although they were not harmful, they effectively dispersed all the spiritual energy she had gathered.

"Electric...electric shock handcuffs?"

Yi Youyou was now completely panicked:

"Ayu, why are you still secretly making this kind of thing? How long have you been thinking about interrogating me like this? Are you that obsessed with my body?"

"...Because Youyou, you really are very beautiful. Ever since I saw your true face that night, I've been fantasizing about this day. Naturally, I need to make more preparations to prevent the cooked duck from flying away."

Qin Huanyu's expression was very calm. At this moment, she had taken off her boots, police uniform, and hot pants, and was only wearing black stockings and underwear. She also walked into the bed.

Kneeling on either side of Yi Youyou's body, sitting directly on her lower abdomen, Qin Huanyu reached out and removed the mask from Yi Youyou's face. He then continued to stroke Yi Youyou's face, his gaze gradually becoming infatuated.

"This face...it's absolutely gorgeous! Before I met you, I always thought I could only see such a beautiful face when I looked in the mirror. I never imagined that there was someone as beautiful as me...Now I don't have to worry about being seen as a pervert for falling in love with myself."

"But you look really weird right now!"

Yi Youyou was completely anxious, but she also seemed to have some kind of expectation in her heart, which made her look angry and fierce. In fact, when Qin Huanyu's hand was about to leave, she subconsciously wanted to lift her face to continue rubbing against it.

"Alright, stop having such wishful thinking, Youyou."

Qin Huanyu leaned down, her smile incredibly gentle:

"Since you patiently helped me finish all my work and then came home with me, you must have been looking forward to this scene, right? Otherwise, with your abilities, you would have had countless opportunities to run away... which means you actually wanted to do this too, right?"

"No, that's not it... Waaah!"

Yi Youyou tried to argue, but was quickly silenced.

The policewoman's private interrogation of the phantom thief began in her own villa.

"It's that pretty mouth that's been lying all along, isn't it? She must be severely punished!"

"These legs and feet are what helped you escape after each crime, aren't they? You must be severely punished! And these fishnet stockings of yours are also tools used in the crimes; I'll have to check them carefully before confiscating them!"

"And your heart here... Before you commit any crime, you always come up with all sorts of bad ideas from here, right? You have to be severely punished! You need to be put under some intense pressure!"

... (Ayu is severely punishing Youyou)

. . . . .

The capital city, the imperial palace.

Inside a small pavilion beside an artificial lake, a young girl dressed in gorgeous palace attire is lying on a stone table, seemingly bored, scrolling through her phone.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and a maid walked over quickly, carrying five notebooks that looked like hardcover, full-color picture books.

"Here they come, Your Highness, the final five candidates for Princess Consort have been announced."

The maid who walked to the stone table placed five beautifully bound picture books in front of the elegantly dressed girl, her eyes shining with gossip as she smiled:

"Come and take a look at your potential wives, Your Highness... If you have no other opinions, His Majesty should summon them to the capital next month for the final competition."

The cover of the top volume of those five hardcover, full-color picture books features a red-haired, black-stockinged policewoman patrolling on a motorcycle.

Chapter 140 Is Ayu going to be restrained?

The intense interrogation has ended.

"Hmph, stupid cop~~"

Yi Youyou's face was a satisfied pink. With one eye closed and the other half open, she asked Qin Huanyu, who was lying next to her panting, in a languid, cat-like tone:

"Your interrogation is over? So what is my crime?"

"Of course it's theft."

Without hesitation, Qin Huanyu answered. Seeing Yi Youyou's somewhat displeased expression, she chuckled and unlocked the handcuffs on one of Yi Youyou's wrists, then grasped that hand and placed it against her heart.

“Youyou, the extraordinary items and national cultural relics you stole don’t really matter. Your greatest crime is stealing my heart… From the moment I saw your true face, I became deeply infatuated with you.”

"You're just a glutton, aren't you?"

Yi Youyou rolled her eyes in annoyance, then pinched Qin Huanyu hard, as if to get back at her for the bullying she had suffered during the interrogation.

"So what? What crime is stealing your heart? How do you intend to sentence me?"

"Of course, the sentence is that you'll be under my supervision for the rest of your life!"

Qin Huanyu chuckled:

“From now on, Youyou, wherever you go, you must report your itinerary to me at any time, and you must come to me regularly for physical and mental check-ups.”

"...You're quite possessive."

Yi Youyou pulled her freed hand back, and with practiced skill, unlocked the other three handcuffs as well. She stood up, intending to get out of bed.

"Why should I report my itinerary to you? I won't! I'm going to a great place you don't know about right now to have a good time for a few days... Ouch."

Qin Huanyu acted swiftly, grabbing Yi Youyou's ankle and pulling her back to her side, then pinning her down with her leg.

"If you try to escape, I will catch you again and punish you severely, just like I did today... Believe me, it won't matter if you run to the ends of the earth."

"……snort."

Yi Youyou didn't struggle much, and was held down and pressed down by Qin Huanyu's leg for a while before she reached out and pushed Qin Huanyu away.

"Then you have to let me take a shower first, right? You were so crazy during the interrogation, and now you're all wet and uncomfortable."

"I'll go too! Let's shower together! We can even scrub each other's backs and wash each other's hair!"

As Qin Huanyu spoke, she picked up Yi Youyou and carried her towards the bathroom.

Yi Youyou shook her head helplessly, but didn't refuse. Instead, she shifted into a comfortable position and leaned against Qin Huanyu.

"If you go too, who knows how long we'll be taking this bath..."

(Ayu and Youyou are taking a bath...)

Yi Youyou stayed at Qin Huanyu's villa for four more nights before leaving to return to Shendu.

Because Guo Ying had regained her mobility after lying in the hospital for a week, she and Yi Youyou had to go back to Shendu to report to Yi Qiushui. This was an organized mission from the Treasure Pavilion, and they couldn't refuse. The two could only agree to play together again next time they had the chance.

However, the two of them had a great time during those four days.

When Duanmu Ling comes home from get off work in the evening, Yi Youyou will obediently go back to her own children's room to sleep, seemingly still just the homeowner's good friend and best confidante.

But once Duanmu Ling goes to work during the day, the two of them will drop their pretense and have a lot of fun. They will either play a game where the policewoman catches the female thief and interrogates her harshly, or they will play a game where the policewoman fails and is verbally humiliated and physically bullied by the female thief.

While having fun, the two also chatted a lot, and things that they couldn't say openly before because of their identities could now be discussed.

For example, Yi Youyou openly inquired about the institute's various confidential projects and Qin Huanyu's own ingenious ideas.

Qin Huanyu also asked a lot about the treasure pavilion, and was particularly curious about why Yi Youyou lived with two different identities.

Yi Youyou then talked about how she suddenly turned into a white-haired, blue-eyed person when her abilities awakened when she was a child, and about Hattori Sayo being a shadow warrior.

"I see... That's good. I was worried that you might have some strange illness that required you to hide your appearance."

Qin Huanyu first breathed a sigh of relief, then rubbed her cheek against Yi Youyou's and smiled:

"I still prefer your beautiful real face, Youyou. It's such a pity that you've kept this stunning beauty hidden all this time... Why don't you find an opportunity to restore your appearance to the public? You can say that you had a strange disease that was later cured by a gene drug developed by our research institute, and that the change in hair and eye color was a side effect of the gene drug."

"...to return to a life of true selves..."

Yi Youyou appeared very hesitant:

"Do you really like my true self, Ayu? I'm actually quite pretty even when I'm pretending to be someone I'm not. I've received quite a few love letters since I was little."

"Of course I like it!"

Qin Huanyu answered without hesitation:

“You’re just as beautiful as me, Youyou… I really want to stroll around high-end shopping malls with you in gorgeous clothes, dance together at grand banquets, and take photos in front of beautiful scenery… Let others be extremely jealous of us, we can be the two most beautiful women in the world.”

"Two peerless beauties..."

Yi Youyou's eyes flickered, clearly showing she was quite tempted, but she still didn't agree immediately:

"Give me some time to think it over. This is a big deal. I need to consult Grandma's advice and also consider Xiaoye's feelings."

. . . . .

While Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou were enjoying their time together, a conspiracy was unfolding in the shadows.

This is a very strange room. Although the furniture and carpet are quite high-end, the lighting is very dim and even eerie. There is no lamp, only two candles on the table that flicker on and off.

Two people sat on either side of the table, talking rapidly in a vague and strange tone.

One of them was a woman, probably around the same age as Qin Huanyu. She was extremely beautiful and had a very shapely figure. Her professional attire and gold-rimmed glasses accentuated her extraordinary temperament, making her look just like a stunning female CEO from an online novel.

The other person's figure and face were indistinguishable; he was completely shrouded in a hooded black robe, and his aura was extremely unsettling.

The conversation lasted for nearly an hour. The two had some disagreements, but eventually reached an agreement and raised their glasses to celebrate the success of their collaboration.

"Then it's settled, Your Majesty."

The female CEO swirled her wine glass, chuckled lightly, and summarized the meeting:

"You help me eliminate my competitors and secure my positions as princess and empress, and in return, I will support your establishment and activities within the Holy Zhou Kingdom. Is that alright?"

"can."

The man in black robes was very sparing with his words, and his voice remained extremely strange, as if the being speaking from under the hood was not human at all.

"Let's start with her then."

The female CEO then threw out several more photos, all taken from different angles, showing a red-haired, black-stockinged policewoman patrolling on a motorcycle.

"She seems to be..."

The man in the black robe picked up the photo and examined it carefully, his voice noticeably fluctuating.

"Your Majesty has noticed? That's right, she's perfect for you to deal with."

A smug smile flashed in the female CEO's eyes:

"I spent a lot of money to get her internal evaluation record from the Bureau of Investigation. The evaluation showed that one of her biggest flaws was that she was too arrogant. She would be in a very dangerous situation when she encountered the embodiment of arrogance. We must try to avoid her from participating in missions related to the Church of Arrogance."

"Yes, she is very talented, and I've taken a liking to her."

The man in black robes began to speak more words:

"You don't necessarily want her dead, do you?"

"Of course, she is currently one of the candidates for princess consort. If she were to die suddenly, it would definitely attract the attention of the royal family, and I might even be implicated."

The female CEO nodded:

"So it would be best to let her make a mistake and get out of there... for example, as an investigator, she might break the law and secretly collude with the Truth Society or something."

"That's good."

The man in the black robe carefully put all the photos away.

"I happen to be missing a saintess, and she is very suitable... Perhaps in the future, she will be the one to meet with you on my behalf in our cooperation."

"That would be even better... I've heard she's incredibly capable. If Your Majesty could bring her into our ranks, our plans would go even more smoothly!"

The female CEO raised her wine glass to the man in black again:

"I await your good news, Your Majesty, and congratulate you in advance on obtaining such an excellent saintess."

"can."
