Ten minutes later.

"Uncle~ Lingling will be out soon~ Please wait a little longer~"

Heeding Alphonse's advice, Triton, who was beginning to carve a tree-man form of little Alphonse on the crystal jar, said, "It's okay. Take your time. Uncle is waiting for you."

Twenty minutes later.

"Uncle, Lingling will be here soon, right away, really right away~"

The image of Alphonse's tree figure has been carved. Triton, who is being pestered by other tree figures to carve one as well, said: "Oh? Oh! Okay."

Thirty minutes later.

"Uncle, Lingling is here, really here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cute little mermaid appeared in front of everyone, held by Irene.

Her skin is fair and delicate, and her big, innocent eyes are as blue as the sea under a sunny day.

She was wearing an exquisite and beautiful pink fishtail dress, with her blue fishtail faintly visible under the dress, like a dignified little princess.

Irene tied her long blue hair into a cute small bun, and used small shells and pearls as hair accessories, which made her look playful and cute.

"Uncle, I've been waiting for you for a long time...bird..."

The little dumpling's excited little voice gradually faded away.

She looked at Triton, who was squatting on the ground surrounded by his brothers' enthusiasm, with some confusion, and her little fish tail shook unconsciously.

"What are you doing?" Ailin asked Lingling's question.

Then the little tree people froze, uprooted themselves, and fled in the same direction, shouting as they ran:

"Grandma Irene, let's go do our homework so we don't disturb my sister's training."

The brothers' tacit understanding reached its peak at this moment.

After they ran away, only Huhu and Triton were left there. Huhu was still biting Triton's trouser leg, as if asking for something, but was troubled by the fact that the man and the beast could not communicate.

When Triton heard the noise, he stopped what he was doing.

He brushed off the crystal debris on his body, stood up, and turned gracefully to look at Irene and Lingling.

Irene saw that the crystal jar, which had been square and clean just now, had its corners polished and rounded, and was covered with numerous patterns.

Huh? These patterns look familiar.

Irene moved closer for a closer look.

"It's the brothers! Hehe, there are brothers~ Uncle, you are so awesome!" The little dumpling's surprised little voice rang out.

Only then did Irene realize that during the half hour she had been helping Lingling get dressed, Triton had been outside carving a crystal jar for Lingling, and the carvings were of little tree people.

She was a bit amused and said to Triton, "King Mermaid, you don't have to go to such trouble. Besides, I can probably guess that it was those five brats who instigated you to carve it, right?"

Triton's expression remained calm, unlike the little tree people. He nodded at Irene and said calmly, "It was indeed their suggestion. I think it's quite good."

"I didn't think it through before. After all, Lingling has to stay in there for quite a while during her training. This water tank needs to be decorated nicely so Lingling can feel comfortable and happy."

"Lingling thinks it's great too!"

Lingling clapped her hands, not knowing why she was so happy.

Just now, her grandma told her in the room that she would stay in the water tank for a while. Unexpectedly, when she came out, her uncle gave her such a big surprise.

She likes the feeling of having someone accompany her, and the brothers on the water tank make Lingling feel that the brothers are always with her.

Little Dumpling blew a kiss to Triton: "Uncle, thank you! Lingling really likes this, Mua~"

Triton felt a little embarrassed by Lingling's continuous praise.

In fact, when Alphonse told him to carve himself, he knew that the little tree man was being naughty.

But thinking about Lingling's good relationship with her brothers, he just continued carving according to their wishes. After all, he was waiting anyway, so he might as well decorate the crystal jar as Alphonse suggested.

Now it seems that the effect is very good and it has won the favor of the original owner.

He gently pushed Huhu away from his feet, ignoring Huhu's unconvinced look, squatted down again, and conjured up his sharp claws. In a few seconds, he carved out a simplified version of the little winged tiger. Although it was not extremely similar, it was also very similar.

Huhu stared at the cute-looking little winged tiger on the crystal. After a moment's thought, he decided not to continue pestering her. He turned to Lingling and called out, "Awoo! (Lingling, look, it's me!)"

Lingling was also very considerate and responded, "Yes! It's huhuhu, it looks great!"

Across from him, Tritton had already stood up.

He looked at the fallen debris of the carving on the ground, thought for a moment, stretched out his palm, and soon a water tornado appeared on his palm.

He threw the water whirlwind onto the ground and spun it around the sides of the crystal tank. After making sure all the dirt had been sucked into the water whirlwind, he looked at Irene and asked, "Please cast a cleansing spell."

Irene pointed at the treetops and used cleaning magic to help Tryton remove the dirt. She also helped him clean up the scraps on his clothes.

After doing all this, Irene smiled and slowly put the little ball, whose eyes lit up when she saw the water tornado, into the water tank, but she did not let go.

She asked with concern: "Baby, are you cold?"

It seemed that as long as Lingling said the word "cold", she would immediately carry Lingling out.

Lingling was looking at the palm of her hand with sparkling eyes, imagining a small water tornado appearing there.

When I heard Irene's question, I realized that I had already entered the water.

She gently wiggled her little fishtail, smiled softly at Irene, and replied with a sweet smile, "Grandma, Lingling isn't cold, don't worry, Grandma~."

Seeing Irene's concerned look, Triton explained, "Don't worry, Lingling won't feel cold in the water in her mermaid form, just like you feel the air on land."

"Also, the clothes Lingling wears are made of mermaid yarn, which has the ability to regulate body temperature."

After hearing this, Irene carefully let go of Lingling. Seeing Lingling already swimming skillfully in the water tank, she looked at Triton and asked:

"So, Mermaid King, your training begins now?"

"Yes."

After saying this, Tritton nodded slightly to Irene and pushed the wooden cart away.

"Grandma! Lingling will be back later to accompany you~" The little girl lay beside the bathtub, stretched out her white and tender arms and waved to Irene.

Although Irene was a little worried about her tender little girl, she forced herself to calm down when she looked at the childlike water tank.

Lingling's uncles really love her and will not let her feel uncomfortable.

Huhu squatted in place, looked at Irene and then at Triton, but ultimately did not follow. He wagged his tail quickly, thought for two seconds, and then ran in the direction the little tree people left.

Everyone is getting stronger, huhu, I want to go train too!

I want to become stronger too!
