Chapter 229: Chapter 165: Why Don’t I Have This?_3 Dale seemed to notice where Ron’s gaze was directed, and she set down her bowl, with a tone full of longing: "When will Mom Ailan wake up? I miss her so much." Lilia gently patted Dale’s head: "According to the teacher’s observations, it should be very soon. Maybe by the time we return with our prizes tomorrow, Sister Ailan will have awoken?" "Really?" Dale’s eyes brightened instantly, turning to Ron for confirmation. Ron nodded slightly: "Indeed, according to the transformation process, Ailan is very likely to complete her final transformation within these two days." "Will she be more powerful than the previous Mom Ailan?" Dale asked curiously. "Of course." Ron smiled gently: "After her transformation, Ailan will be much stronger in plant control, and our workshop’s defense will be greatly enhanced as a result." Lilia nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder Sister Ailan looked forward to this transformation so much. It truly is a rebirth for her." After dinner, the young girl skillfully began to tidy up the mess of cups and plates on the table. Seeing Ron getting up, she wiped her hands on her apron and asked with concern: "Do you need a break? I’ve prepared hot water and..." "Thank you for your concern, Lilia, but I need some private time now." Ron gently interrupted her: "There are some important matters to deal with." Lilia immediately understood the meaning, tactfully nodding: "I understand, Teacher. If you need any help, please feel free to call me." She knew that the teacher often needed to focus on some secretive research, and the best help was not to disturb him at those times. Ron nodded in satisfaction, he appreciated such emotionally intelligent students, and then turned to Dale: "You also need to rest well, today’s battle consumed a lot of Energy. Although your performance was excellent, your body needs time to recover. How about going for a nice bath with Sister Lily later?" The Little Sea Siren nodded, despite the excitement in her eyes, she could feel the exhaustion after a hard-fought day: "As you command, Master. I’ll head to the bathroom with Sister Lily at once!" With that, she hurriedly pulled the apron-clad girl beside her, Lilia slightly flustered: "Wait, Little Dale, I haven’t finished cleaning up yet..." ...... In the steam-filled bathroom, the sound of water could be heard trickling. Dale cheerfully soaked in the specially made large bathtub, her silver hair floating on the water like a fine silver silk. She would sometimes dive underwater and sometimes emerge, her face radiating pure joy. "Sister Lily, come in! The water temperature is just right!" The Little Sea Siren splashed the water, sending droplets flying. Lilia was carefully undoing buttons on the side, smiling slightly as she heard this: "Don’t be in such a rush, I’m coming right in." She slowly let down the last piece of clothing, revealing her graceful and slender body, delicately stepping into the pool. Dale’s gaze was immediately captured, a trace of curiosity flashed in her violet-blue eyes. Lilia’s figure had developed quite maturely, with beautiful curves and skin as smooth and delicate as fine porcelain. In contrast, despite the Sea Siren’s rapid growth in recent days, her body still remained childishly slender. "Sister Lily." Dale couldn’t help but swim a little closer, her eyes shining with envy: "Your body is so beautiful!" She reached out a little hand, curiously pointing at the two objects on the girl’s chest: "Why don’t I have these?" Lilia’s cheeks instantly flushed red, hurriedly covering with her arm: "Dale! Staring like that is too impolite." Although her tone carried a hint of reproach, her eyes showed a touch of tenderness: "You’re still young, in a few years you’ll naturally develop."
