My Scheming Little Devil

Yiyi openly flew back to Yalan Country and returned to Madam Roland and Professor Du Le’s home, startling the couple.

"Oh my, you’re still alive! Tsk tsk, it’s truly a miracle." Madam Roland wore a face of wonder and surprise. She always spoke her mind, straightforward and direct.

Yiyi had three black lines on her forehead, feeling like everyone thought she was dead.

But it wasn’t surprising — she suddenly disappeared and was taken to the Aus Empire, and naturally, people would think she was done for.

"Hehe," Professor Du Le adjusted his glasses and chuckled with his chubby face, "I said this girl wouldn’t die that easily. After all, she wasn’t eaten by sharks in the vast ocean but was instead fished back by me. How could she die easily?"

Although the couple’s words seemed unreliable, Yiyi understood their personalities and knew they cared about her deeply.

"So, girl, where on earth did you go?" Madam Roland couldn’t help but ask.

Yiyi had already thought of an explanation for her return. After all, being caught by Fengye Wuyin and forced to participate in an assassination of the Councilman’s wife wasn’t something that could be blamed on her. But the incident caused a big stir in Yalan Country, and it wasn’t good for the couple to know the details either.

So she just said she was accidentally ambushed by bad guys, kidnapped, and later escaped, and was taken in and cared for by a kind lady. She also mentioned being adopted as Madam Aisha’s goddaughter.

Madam Roland and Professor Du Le were quite surprised upon hearing this, but they soon calmed down and didn’t show much shock.

Madam Roland said, "Girl, you’ve got good luck, having such a noble lady as your adoptive mother is beneficial for your future and prospects. At least it solves the identity issue, and you don’t have to hide anymore."

"You’re not blaming me for making such a big decision without consulting you?" Yiyi didn’t regret her decision, but this couple were her lifesavers and the only friends she knew in this world. It felt a bit wrong not to discuss such an important matter with them.

Madam Roland laughed heartily and patted her shoulder, making a loud booming sound.

"Do you think we’re narrow-minded? This is your future, and it’s up to you to decide. Besides, we really couldn’t help you with the identity matters. We’re just happy that you can live a good life in the future."

Professor Du Le, the gentle person, nodded with a smile.

Yiyi was truly touched. This couple was genuinely carefree and kind-hearted, saving people without expecting gratitude or forcing others to stay. They were truly open-minded, and she wondered why such a couple with so much soul in their hearts would reside in this small seaside town.

"By the way, didn’t you say before that you wanted to apply to the Imperial Institute of Technology? I used to think you were dreaming, having no identity and all, applying to some school... I didn’t expect that within a month you managed to go abroad and become a governor’s adoptive daughter. That’s an extraordinary feat; it seems applying to that school isn’t an impossible task after all."

Madam Roland pondered, a touch of gentleness and compassion passing through her deep blue eyes.

Then she stared fiercely at Professor Du Le.

"Hey, why don’t you teach her some knowledge of technology, or else when she goes to Aus Empire, it’ll be hard to keep up with the local students there? If she fails the exams, wouldn’t those scoundrels in the Aus Empire laugh at us for teaching someone stupid? That would be a real embarrassment for us!"

Yiyi sweated a bit. That kind of school was already as hard as climbing to the sky, and it was normal not to get in. Even many people in the Aus Empire couldn’t get in, and besides, the embarrassment would be on her, not on them.
