Going swimming with Jasmine?
To be honest, Elijah felt his heart flutter for a moment when he heard that!
But he immediately extinguished the thought.
If he suddenly ran off with Jasmine to swim, with so many people on the shore watching, anyone would think there was something suspicious going on. Even if Daisy saw them, she could easily guess what he and Jasmine were up to!
However, it wouldn't be polite to reject Jasmine when she was being so proactive.
An idea struck Elijah.
"It's too conspicuous to go swimming now! Auntie Jasmine, how about you wait for my signal tonight, and then you can wait for me outside..."
Upon hearing this, Jasmine's eyes sparkled with even more charm.
"So... what signal will you give me?"
"You'll know when the time comes!"
Elijah smiled mysteriously.
Then the two of them seriously began building a sandcastle.
After a while, Elijah accompanied them, then walked over to lie down on a beach chair.
Hannah, Fiona, and Charlotte were all wearing large sunglasses, enjoying a relaxing time here.
Seeing Elijah approach, Fiona hinted, "Did you have fun today? So many beautiful women in swimsuits, just for you to see!"
Elijah didn't answer and instead asked, "Why didn't you three go play?"
"I'm lazy!"
Fiona replied frankly, taking a sip of juice.
"Just sunbathing is nice!"
Hannah said indifferently.
Among them, she had the best skin quality, and what's more, even wearing a bikini that exposed most of her skin to the sun, her skin hardly changed.
Fiona couldn't help but touch her own skin with envy after hearing that.
She wasn't really lazy; it's just that prolonged sun exposure made her skin red, like a cooked shrimp.
So when she went out, she always wore a sun-protective shirt and applied sunscreen.
"It's nice just watching you all quietly!"
Charlotte said finally.
"Where's Bella?"
Using her second-stage healing ability, Bella easily rejuvenated the root of the zombie grass.
With this, they now had four reusable spirit plants.
They had three zombie grasses, and if used solely for awakening, with a reasonable schedule, these three could form a cycle, allowing them to harvest one each day for awakening.
This meant that even considering giving Quentin and his team a bottle of awakening potion, in just six days, everyone on the island and in the service area on the shore could become awakeners.
This would make Elijah's boast to Quentin a reality.
However, Elijah didn't plan to use them all right away.
He decided to hold off on the newly arrived Vincent and Zoey, reserving one zombie grass to mature for advancing the other team members to the second stage.
For now, the mature zombie grass was given to Fiona.
She did not disappoint and successfully advanced to the second stage, significantly enhancing her abilities.
Initially, her telekinesis range was only five meters, which she had barely managed to extend to ten meters through training.
Now, it had directly increased to twenty meters with room for further growth.
The weight her telekinesis could control also doubled from around ten pounds to forty pounds, with potential for more.
Additionally, her telekinesis now offered some defensive capabilities, allowing her to form a telekinetic shield in front of her to block attacks, similar to what the second-stage telekinesis zombies had done.
Although this shield wasn't very strong—only capable of withstanding ordinary zombie scratches and easily torn apart by someone like Lily or Elijah with a full-force attack—it was still quite impressive.
At least she, like Hannah, wouldn't need to wear thick clothes to prevent zombie scratches in the heat.
She could now enjoy wearing cool skirts, shorts, and T-shirts.
Fiona's advancement made everyone envious, eagerly anticipating what changes their abilities would undergo after their own advancements.
Elijah promised to schedule one person each week to advance to the second stage.
With an ample supply of corpse cores, zombie grass could mature in about six to seven days.
Even if it didn't mature naturally, Elijah could always speed up the process.
After dinner, they continued chatting for a while.
They had all had a great time today, and as they talked, they gradually became sleepy and went to their respective rooms.
Before leaving, Jasmine gave Elijah a seductive look, reminding him not to forget their rendezvous that night.
Meanwhile, Lily, with her head down in shyness, returned to her room.
To those unaware, it might have seemed like she was struggling to lift her head due to her chest.
Elijah first went to his room, then used Daisy's ability to quietly slip outside Lily's door.
He gently pushed, and the door opened.
This time, Lily hadn't locked it.
Elijah felt a thrill. It seemed Lily had been ready for this! He walked in happily and then closed the door behind him.
