Chapter 722 - "Borrowing An Ability"

When Ainsley saw Demetra, she was stunned for a second before she blinked at the transparent woman. 

The woman was just like what Ainsley imagined in her mind, the epitome of a saint, a walking elixir. 

She looked gentle and warm, yet at the same time, elegant and proud. She didn't look weak or frail despite her soft look. 

On the other hand, her beauty made people think twice about consuming her blood or other body parts. 

The woman with brunette hair looked at Ainsley and nodded calmly. 

[This is the baby you talked about, milord?] Demetra's voice was soft but contained a youthful tone. 

She's clearly a married woman with children when she died, but she looked like someone in her early twenty instead of someone nearing forty. 

She's supposed to be an Auntie, but she looked like a big sister instead! 

Even Marietta, who was approaching thirty, didn't look as youthful as this woman. 

When Ainsley heard Demetra mentioning her and then calling the Godfather 'millord', she immediately knew that Demetra came to meet her just to respect the Godfather. 

The Godfather was undoubtedly a legend in his era and after his era. Even those born before him and turned into a dead spirit also knew his legend. 

Demetra was the same. She's from a younger generation compared to the Godfather, but the generation gap wasn't too large. 

After all, she only died when the government and the mafia society were involved in a great war. 

The Godfather was the one who put the groundwork for this war, so when Demetra was still twenty or thirty years old, she should have heard a lot about the Godfather. 

Or maybe at that time, the Godfather was still alive? Who knows. 

Anyway, the Godfather nodded at Demetra and treated her just like his junior. 

[That's the baby. She's this lord's contracted shaman, and her shaman type is the ambassador.] 

As if afraid that Demetra didn't know about the ambassador type shaman, the Godfather hastily explained. 

[She can borrow a non-contracted spirit's ability for twelve hours and after that, the ability will be returned to the owner.] 

Demetra listened to the Godfather's words cautiously, and her brown pupils with a tinge of golden powders lit up. 

[So...this baby wants to borrow my ability...the walking elixir ability? After she borrowed it, I won't have the ability for twelve hours?] 

[Yes. And this lord's contracted shaman can only borrow an ability from the same person once in a lifetime. You don't need to worry that this lord's shaman will misuse your ability or feel burdened because of it.] 

The reason why Demetra never contracted a shaman on her own was because of her unique 'walking elixir' ability. 

She didn't want another person to suffer from such a Godly yet dangerous ability. 

When one had such power, one also had to pay for the price. 

In this case, Ainsley's luck manipulation ability was the same. 

Ainsley might not know, but along with fortunes, misfortunes would follow. So many cases happened to her family, surely it wasn't a coincidence. 

Aside from taking her lifespan, the luck manipulation ability used to boost someone's luck or reduce their luck would always result in either fortune or misfortune. 

If Ainsley boosted someone's luck, misfortune would follow. If she reduced someone's luck, fortune would follow. Of course, her lifespan would decrease. 

Demetra listened to the Godfather's explanation about Ainsley's unique shaman ability, and she couldn't help but feel slightly excited. 

[This is good! If this lady can help others once more, this lady will be happy. But, little girl, are you sure you want to borrow my ability for twelve hours?] 

Demetra liked to help others, but she didn't think someone as small as Ainsley would feel the same as her. Not to mention that the price they had to pay was by sacrificing their body. 

[Why do you want to borrow this lady's ability? What kind of illness do you want to cure?] 

Ainsley did not conceal anything and immediately told Demetra about her family's circumstances. 

[My family and mafia members are infected by a man-made virus called Energy Core Destroyer. They will all die in three days if I can't cure them…] 

Ainsley looked at Demetra with reddened eyes as if she had just suffered injustice. 

[As their family head, I am responsible to help my people. If I can help them, I don't care even if I have to cut my flesh and pour out my blood for them to recover.] 

Ainsley was serious when she said this. She attached so much importance to the Sloan Family that she knew that she couldn't just let her people die like that. 

It's just a few drops of blood, maybe a bag of blood or a bucket...whatever. As long as her people could be saved, why couldn't she suffer a bit? 

At the same time, Ainsley recalled Demetra's other passive skill born from the ability and believed that she should borrow the ability. 

The passive skill of Walking Elixir was that Demetra would be immune to all illnesses and viruses that she discovered. 

Just by discovering a new type of diseases or viruses, she would be immune to those diseases and viruses. 

This is why Demetra tried hard to discover more diseases and viruses, not only to save more people but also to save herself. 

Ainsley needed this passive skill so that she wouldn't be affected by the ECD virus. After all, she also only had one core and hadn't split her core into multiple cores yet. 

She could also die if she was infected! 

Hearing Ainsley's determined speech to borrow her ability, Demetra looked at Ainsley with eyes full of approval. 

[Okay, then. You can borrow this lady's ability.]
