Chapter 727 - "Need More Time"

Once the 12-hour limit dawned on the group, Ainsley felt the walking elixir ability slowly vanishing from her body. 

It was coincidentally when she had just used the last bottle of the hair-growth potion, and her hair had grown long enough to cover her back, almost touching her waist. 

Knowing that there's no use in cutting her hair short to get the hair elixir, Ainsley actually let her hair become that long. 

She had always been a little unsatisfied with her bob-cut hair, thinking it was lame. Now that her hair became long, she was satisfied. 

Strangely, when her hair was short, she didn't realize that her hair was actually not that straight but a little wavy. When her hair became long, only then did she notice the difference. 

Still, when Ainsley looked at her new appearance on the hand mirror that she casually put inside her spatial storage, she couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. 

The baby still had her cute short bang that couldn't cover her eyebrow, but coupled with her wavy long hair, it surprisingly elevated her cuteness to the next level. 

And it was rather cool too! It wasn't as childish as her bob-cut hair! 

With Axelle's help, Ainsley even got to braid her side bangs and put on a tiny blue ribbon, the one she wore when facing Paul at the tournament's second round days ago. 

If she looked like a cute, silly and funny baby with her bob-cut hair, she now looked like a cute yet elegant baby doll with her waist-length wavy hair! 

Ainsley really liked her new hairstyle and was quite glad that she stumbled upon Demetra's ability, allowing her to shave her head and then regrow her hair to be this long. 

After tidying up her appearance, Ainsley thanked Axelle before letting out a small sigh. 

"The Walking Elixir Ability is gone. We don't need to drain my blood and tears or shave my head anymore." 

The baby looked at Axelle and opened her palm in front of the blue-skinned elf. 

"Right, transfer all the harvest we had for the past twelve hours. It will be safer to store the cures and other elixirs with me." 

Ainsley didn't want to bring unnecessary danger to Axelle. 

If she's the one storing the elixir, in case of someone knowing about this secret, they would only target her and wouldn't target her poor Axelle. 

"O-okay, master." Axelle didn't think much and transferred all their harvest straight into Ainsley's necklace. 

Since Ainsley's storage capacity was definitely larger than Axelle's, the group could rest assured that the baby would guard all the elixirs. 

Ainsley kept the elixirs and arranged them neatly inside her storage space. 

There were tons of pinky-sized potions inside her space now, but Ainsley put all of them into the shelves that she purposely placed inside her storage space. 

As for the palm-sized bottles full of her blood or tears, Ainsley separated them into other shelves. 

Next, the jade box containing abundant purple hair strands was placed near the shelves. 

There was actually more than just one jade box because Ainsley's hair was thick when she used the hair-growth potion to harvest more hair strands. 

Thus, Axelle actually used up two to three jade boxes. 

After arranging the elixirs, only then did Ainsley take a break and enjoy the rest of their journey back to the mansion. 

Time passed by, and it was already the third day of the virus's fatality deadline. Of course, it didn't mean that the infected would die right away. 

There would still be a few hours until everyone's cores couldn't stand it anymore and explode. 

In the past two days, the Sloan Family's higher-ups also didn't sit still and do nothing. 

They helped the infected people to strengthen their cores, hoping that they could delay the virus's outbreak until the family head returned. 

They all believed that the family head would surely bring back the cure, and all they needed was time. 

Thus, even the infected members also persevered, knowing that their family had worked hard for these past few days to bring them the cure. 

All of them had a strong faith in Ainsley, the only miraculous baby that they ever knew. 

Some of the newer members were still worried and didn't think that Ainsley could save them, but thanks to the seniors calming them every day, they also started to place their last hopes on Ainsley. 

At the same time, the day when Ainsley left the mansion, a few spies who were sent to monitor the Sloan Family caught news of the Sloan Family's strange movements. 

These people...were actually Evan's people that Evan sent to help Ainsley in the dark. After all, he had investigated the Naran Family and knew that the family liked to use dirty tricks. 

When these people investigated the Sloan Family's movements in detail, also judging from the Sloan Family's complete lockdown, they managed to conclude something. 

There's an epidemic in the Sloan Family's territory! 

When Evan heard of the secret news, he almost leapt from his office chair and rushed to the Sloan Family's mansion. 

"Impossible! An epidemic?! What kind of virus is it?" 

"We….we also don't know. We aren't really sure about the epidemic either. Maybe we got it wrong, b-but the Sloan Family's movements are like they're trying to stop an epidemic outbreak…" 

There's no concrete evidence, but Evan immediately asked Percival to look into the Sloan Family's past. He paid the price for using Percival's ability and finally got the truth. 

It was an ECD virus epidemic. 

The Sloan Family...is in danger! 

And what they needed was precisely time. Three days were too short, but if they had more time…

Evan could only think of a certain fairy of time. 

Chronos!
