The tyrannical father was so intimidated when his own daughter was found during the raid.

Su Zhen had barely finished speaking.

The Taiji Hall fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

The civil and military officials of the Great Abyss Kingdom were all dumbfounded, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.

What nonsense is Your Majesty spouting?

After a brief silence, the commander was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, he looked up and burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha! Emperor of Dayuan, have you gone mad with anger?"

He put away his folding fan and pointed to the exquisitely beautiful little girl sitting on the small golden throne.

"Let a mere little girl, barely out of hair, decipher the national treasure of my Central Plains?"

"Even if your Great Yuan Kingdom can't afford to lose, there's no need to use such a ridiculous excuse to stall for time!"

"This is utterly ridiculous!"

The courtiers of Dayuan Kingdom were also thrown into a panic.

The Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy scrambled out and knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't! This is a matter of national importance; how can it be treated so lightly!"

"Her Highness is only eight years old, and hasn't even learned the entire Thousand Character Classic yet. How could she possibly solve this age-old riddle!"

The military officers also felt that the emperor had given up all hope, and their faces turned ashen.

Su Zhen, sitting on the dragon throne, looked completely calm and composed.

He looked at his daughter with doting eyes.

"Yaoyao, go and broaden the horizons of these ignorant bumpkins from Central Plains."

Su Yaoyao yawned widely.

Sigh, I was hoping to watch the show a bit longer, but looks like I'll have to get involved and crush the noobs myself.

Honestly, they treat a 3x3 Rubik's Cube like it's a treasure; I feel almost embarrassed to bully them.

She patted the crumbs off her hands and slowly slid down from the small golden throne.

The elegant princess attire looked especially adorable on her small frame.

Su Yaoyao, with her short legs, walked down the white jade steps one by one.

She walked to the center of the hall and stood before the haughty head of the delegation.

At eight years old, she was not even up to the envoy's waist, so she had to look up at him.

But the contempt in her eyes was a hundred times stronger than that of the envoy.

"Little girl, these are not mud toys from your Great Yuan Kingdom."

The envoy leader looked down at her with utter contempt in his eyes.

"If you break it, I couldn't afford to pay for it even if I sold myself!"

Su Yaoyao didn't even bother to react and simply reached out her hand.

He casually picked up the Nine Palaces Heavenly Secret Lock from the tray.

The Rubik's Cube is made of solid wood and jade, and it is quite heavy.

It must have been a little difficult for Su Yaoyao's small hands to hold it, but she steadily supported it with one hand.

"Old Deng, watch closely."

Su Yaoyao's clear, childlike voice echoed throughout the main hall.

"Today, I, the Crown Princess, will show you what it means to be a frog in a well."

As soon as she finished speaking, to the astonishment of everyone present, Su Yaoyao closed her eyes!

She not only used only one hand, but she didn't even look at it!

This enraged the regimental commander.

"How dare you! You so disrespect my Central Plains' most precious treasure!"

"Emperor of Dayuan, you have brought shame upon yourselves!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a crisp clicking sound of a mechanism engaging.

"Click!"

Su Yaoyao closed her eyes and gently flicked the paper with her right thumb and forefinger.

The top layer of jade blocks was rotated ninety degrees.

Immediately afterwards...

"Click-clack-click! Click-clack-clack-clack-clack!"

The crisp, rapid sounds of impact were like a downpour hitting banana leaves.

Su Yaoyao's fair and delicate hands moved so fast that only a blur remained.

Her fingers were so nimble they seemed inhuman; every flick was incredibly precise.

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

The old scholars of the Hanlin Academy who were just wailing are now like roosters with their necks being choked.

They stared wide-eyed at the cube that Su Yaoyao was spinning wildly in her hand.

They couldn't even see the color changes of the blocks!

This made the mockery on the commander's face freeze.

He had a look on his face as if he'd seen a ghost.

He took a step forward, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

How is this possible?!

The internal tenon and mortise structure of the Tianji Lock is extremely complex, and it will jam if there is any resistance.

But in this little girl's hands, it's like there's no resistance at all!

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The red pieces are done!

Five seconds, six seconds, seven seconds...

The blue and green sides are now pieced together!

Su Yaoyao's lips curled into a nonchalant, cold smile.

[Top layer cross, flip color, adjust angle, done.]

Her fingers exerted force one last time.

"Click!"

A crisp final note rang out, and the afterimage froze.

Just ten seconds!

Su Yaoyao opened her eyes and waved her little hand forward.

"Snapped!"

The heavy Nine Palaces Heavenly Secret Lock slammed solidly into the envoy's face!

Caught off guard, the regimental commander was hit on the nose by the piece of wood and jade, causing a sharp pain in his nasal bone and almost causing his nose to bleed.

He screamed and reached out to catch the falling block.

Ignoring the pain, he looked down intently at the national treasure in his hand.

All eyes in the room were focused on the stone.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue.

Six sides, each with distinct colors, perfectly flawless!

The ancient lock that has perplexed countless top craftsmen in the Central Continent Empire and is said to have tens of millions of variations.

By an eight-year-old girl.

With eyes closed.

One hand.

Restored in ten seconds!

Dead silence.

A long, deathly silence fell over the Taiji Hall.

With a loud "boom!"

The entire hall was like a powder keg that had been ignited, boiling over!

"It's untied! Her Highness the Crown Princess has untied it!"

"God bless the Great Abyss! God bless the Great Abyss!"

The civil and military officials of the Great Yuan Kingdom were so excited that their faces turned red, and they all stood up and cheered.

The old men from the Hanlin Academy hugged each other, jumping and hopping around, completely lacking any decorum.

The old scholar, who had just fainted from vomiting blood, woke up groggily upon hearing the commotion.

Upon opening his eyes and seeing the restored Heavenly Lock, he burst into laughter and fainted again.

Su Zhen, sitting on the pure steel dragon throne, stroked his chin smugly.

With a smug expression: See? I told you this was a kindergarten toy, but you didn't believe me.

Cool!

That's a real slap in the face!

It's a million times more satisfying than beheading these Central Plains envoys!

"No...this is absolutely impossible..."

The team leader held the Rubik's Cube, his hands trembling violently, as if he were holding a hot iron.

His pride and confidence were shattered by Su Yaoyao.

He looked up and screamed.

"That's just the mechanism! There's also arithmetic!"

"Even if you guess the correct mechanism for that century-old 'chicken and rabbit in the same cage' problem, you still won't be able to calculate the answer!"

The troupe leader pointed at the huge scroll on the dragon pillar and roared with a distorted expression.

Su Yaoyao stood there, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

"Old Deng, are you hard of hearing? Didn't I just say that this is a basic question?"

She stretched out a small, white finger and picked at her ear.

Let the hare be X, then the toad is 0.5X.

[The pheasant is 3568 minus 1.5X.]

【代入腿的数量，4X加上3乘以0.5X，再加上2乘以雉鸡数量等于9472。】

[This is a problem that even a middle school student could solve mentally, yet Zhongzhou considers it a century-old unsolved problem?]

After Su Yaoyao finished her internal monologue, her clear, sweet voice once again resounded throughout the room.

"It has 3,568 heads and 9,472 feet. The golden toad is half the size of the rabbit, right?"

"Such a simple thing, and you people from Zhongzhou have been calculating it for a hundred years?"

"Listen carefully, the answer is—"

The hall fell silent instantly, and everyone held their breath.

"One thousand and forty-two pheasants."

"There are 1,684 wild rabbits."

"There are 842 three-legged toads."

Su Yaoyao rattled off the answer in one breath, without even a stutter.

The moment the words left his mouth, the several masters of mathematics from Central China behind the regimental commander were struck dumb.

With trembling hands, they pulled a sealed, top-secret answer sheet from their sleeves.

Trembling, I tore off the sealing wax and took a closer look.

One thousand and forty-two!

One thousand six hundred and eighty-four!

842!

Exactly!

"thump!"

One of the great mathematicians from Zhongzhou couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground.

"That's right...all correct..."

"Not a single word is wrong; she didn't even touch the abacus!"

Upon seeing this, the king and his ministers of Dayuan laughed even more wildly.

The intense pleasure shot straight to the top of my head!

The commander looked at his subordinates, who were slumped on the ground, and his mind was buzzing.

He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his legs went weak.

With a "thump".

The commander was struck dumb, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the cold floor tiles.

"This...this is impossible!"

Su Yaoyao turned around, took short steps to the desk next to her, and picked up a calligraphy brush from the shelf.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate, so I, the Crown Princess, will also pose a question to you from the Central Plains!"
