Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 266: Cunning Plan

"Housekeeper He, I’m done," Xiao Zhan’s voice suddenly rang out.

Housekeeper He had just taken a sip of tea when he heard this sentence.

He was so startled that he spit the tea back into his cup and looked at Xiao Zhan in amazement.

"What did you say?"

"I said I’m done." Xiao Zhan lifted up the magic cube in his hand.

One two three four five six, six sides, each side of uniform color, without any other colors mixed in.

"Really... really done?"

Housekeeper He still couldn’t believe his eyes, just a moment ago it was all bitter faces, and now it’s done!

How can it be done just like that?

It’s been just a few seconds, right?

Less than one second?

He took the magic cube from Xiao Zhan’s hand to inspect; there were no traces of cheating, all done by hand.

Then he glanced at Ye Wudi, noticing Ye Wudi wearing a mocking smile, looking like he was watching a clown.

Although that wasn’t Ye Wudi’s intention, he felt like a clown himself right now.

"How did you do it?" Housekeeper He asked, puzzled.

This thing, once you know the method, is indeed very simple.

But for someone who has never come into contact with it, they would be completely clueless.

Xiao Zhan did it so fast, he must have had prior experience!

His eyes intently fixed on Xiao Zhan, he wanted to hear the answer he desired from Xiao Zhan’s mouth.

Xiao Zhan saw through Housekeeper He’s thoughts, naturally, he couldn’t admit that he had known how to do it long ago.

At a time like this, if he’s not showing off, then when should he?

"It’s very simple, I figured out the trick after watching it for a while. First you do this, then that, and finally this, and it’s done."

"Pfft~"

Xiao Zhan’s words even made the usually serious-looking Ye Youlong laugh out loud.

First do this then that, what exactly is ’that’?

It’s a good thing she and Xiao Zhan have a Contract; she can understand Xiao Zhan’s point in an instant.

But still, she was curious, how did Xiao Zhan know how to do this?

You know, she was taken by Housekeeper He at a young age to delve into many strange and curious things, and this thing, she herself was seeing for the first time, Xiao Zhan should be even less likely to have seen it.

But then she thought about it, ever since she met Xiao Zhan, he always had a way of saying things from ancient times.

So, it wasn’t surprising that Xiao Zhan knew about this.

Housekeeper He listened to Xiao Zhan’s words and knew that he didn’t want to reveal the real reason.

Hmph.

He didn’t even want to know.

But thinking it would be so simple to pass the test was not okay, he would do it again, and he had to up the difficulty!

"Alright, you’ve passed the first challenge, now there is a second challenge. Are you ready?"

Another one?

Xiao Zhan paused for a moment, as Housekeeper He hadn’t said before, he thought there was only one challenge.

Oh.

He got it, probably because he made Housekeeper He lose face, so now he came up with another challenge on the spot.

"Then bring it on, I’m ready."

Xiao Zhan was not going to be afraid of how many challenges there were.

He knew Housekeeper He wanted to demonstrate superiority over his abilities, but Xiao Zhan had the same idea; to make Housekeeper He submit and work for him, he had to completely convince him!

So let the challenges come!

Housekeeper He admitted that he had somewhat underestimated Xiao Zhan’s abilities just now, and decided to increase the difficulty this time before he returned to his own room.

Xiao Zhan heard clanging and banging noises, as if someone were rummaging through boxes and drawers.

It wasn’t long before Housekeeper He emerged, holding an irregularly shaped magical cube in his hand. The size of a fist, but with no regular shape, it turned and twisted in all directions.

Furthermore, the cube was made up of tiny, densely packed particles that made one’s scalp tingle just looking at it!

When Xiao Zhan saw the cube, he couldn’t help but flinch.

Good grief, this was really putting him through the wringer.

Housekeeper He caught the expression on Xiao Zhan’s face, and couldn’t help but feel delighted. Humph, let’s see how you compete with me now!

"Ahem!"

At this moment, Ye Wudi couldn’t help but cough.

Housekeeper He knew this was Ye Wudi reminding him not to go too far, but since he had already made his move, how could he possibly take it back?

He gave Ye Wudi an assured look.

He had decided to follow Xiao Zhan. Now, it was just a matter of testing just how clever Xiao Zhan really was.

After all, this was his strong suit.

"Same rules as before, there’s no time limit, but given the difficulty this time, don’t make us wait too long, okay?"

Housekeeper He said this with a tone as if he had already won.

Xiao Zhan took the bizarrely shaped cube, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

Honestly, this thing gave him a bit of a headache. Although he often played with magical cubes before his transmigration, he rarely dealt with ones like this.

Because playing with this thing really was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

He didn’t have that much patience, so he rarely played with them.

But that didn’t mean he didn’t know how to play.

Now, with his spiritual power greatly enhanced, playing with this cube was a breeze.

"Well, can you do it?" asked Ye Youlong at this moment, reaching out with her consciousness.

She also felt a tingle in her scalp looking at it.

It was overwhelming just to look at the dense scramble, not to mention having to align it properly.

She didn’t have an ounce of patience.

If it were her, she would just envelop everything in Death Aura and turn it all to ash!

Xiao Zhan replied, "What kind of question is that? Just you wait and see tonight, get ready to freshen up. Then you’ll know if I can do it or not."

One would have thought Ye Youlong would retort or blush upon hearing this.

But unexpectedly, a flash of scheming delight crossed her eyes.

Damn!

Xiao Zhan instantly realized he had been ensnared by his wife’s ploy again.

A cunning plan!

This was truly, genuinely, a ’cunning’ plan!

And even when you knew it was a trick, you just couldn’t not fall for it!

"How about it, you’ve been staring for a minute now. If it’s too much, just forget it. Being able to solve that third-order cube so quickly was already quite impressive," said Housekeeper He.

Watching Xiao Zhan motionless, a smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Zhan retorted, "It’s only been a minute, Housekeeper He, and you’re already rushing me. Are you that afraid I’ll line it up?"

"Afraid? I’m not afraid. It’s just that dinner time is approaching and I haven’t even started warming up the stove."

"Then rest assured, Housekeeper He, you can start warming up your stove shortly. Of course, you’ll only need to prepare your own meal."

With that, Xiao Zhan’s hands suddenly moved.

His fingers became a blur, a fleeting shadow as he manipulated the irregular cube, equally difficult to discern.

All that could be seen was a blur of colors, a swirl of various hues.

However, as time swiftly passed, those colors began to coalesce and become clear. Not clear in the sense of sharpness, but clear because of the abundance of aligning colors.

Upon witnessing this scene, Housekeeper He’s mouth involuntarily hung open in shock.
