The dean fell silent upon hearing the answer. After a long hesitation, he still shook his head, looking at the girl before him with a complex expression. He wanted to say something, but hesitated again. Finally, he sighed and said with a complicated look, "Congratulations, you've graduated."
As he spoke, the dean took out a light green flower crown and placed it on Ming Li's head. The next second, after a flash of green light, Ming Li's clothes all turned light green, truly from head to toe, which was incredibly bizarre.
Ming Li looked down at her all-green attire, and her lips twitched. This group of elves seriously had a problem with their aesthetic sense...

"Your Majesty! The First Princess has returned!"
Upon hearing the guard's report, the old king, who was feeding his dog, almost lost his footing, suspecting he had misheard.
He put down the food in his hand, turned around to look at the approaching figure, and asked with some uncertainty, "What did you just say?" Had he misheard? He thought he heard that Li Li'er had returned.
The guard lowered his head and respectfully repeated what he had just said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the First Princess Li Li'er has returned."
Old King: "? !!!"
Just as the old king was utterly confused, he looked up and saw a girl, dressed from head to toe in green, swaggering in.
Old King: "???"
He recognized the outfit on Ming Li; wasn't it the graduation attire from the Elven Magic Academy...
"Li Li'er, what's going on here?"
Hearing the old king's disbelieving voice, Ming Li raised her eyes, glanced lightly at the man not far away, and said, "As you can see, I've graduated."
The old king seriously suspected he had misheard. "Didn't you just register yesterday?"
Ming Li nodded gently, her expression calm. "Registered yesterday, graduated today. Is there a problem?"
Old King: "..." There was a huge problem!
After a long silence, the old king suddenly thought of something and asked, "Li Li'er, you... you weren't expelled from school for causing trouble, were you..."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and tugged at her green robe, her meaning clear: would she be expelled with this?
The old king went silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Ming Li resumed her life of retirement...
A year later, other countries, envious of Lan An Kingdom's power and wealth, joined forces to attack it.
Ming Li learned of this news, stretched lazily, pressed the agitated old king back onto his throne, and said with a languid expression, "You pet your dog, I'll handle this."
Old King: "..."
The big black dog beside him: "..." Are you being polite?!
In the end, Ming Li led tens of thousands of soldiers to battle, leaving the old king alone in the palace, filled with anxiety and fear that Ming Li might get hurt.
......
The day after Ming Li left, a swaddling bundle appeared at the entrance of the old king's bedroom. Inside the bundle was a sleeping infant...
At this moment, the big black dog stood before the infant, sniffed it, and its expression turned disdainful. It gently pawed at the swaddling clothes. Upon seeing the infant inside, its expression became inexplicably excited.
"Old man! Old man! When did you have a love child behind my back?!"
The sleeping king: "..." What is this foolish dog barking about?
