Seeing that the Viscount did not respond at all to his apology, the butler felt sad for Terias's descendants.
He was together with the Viscount when Terias was newly appointed as the young heir by the previous lord.
If not for Terias, the family would not have survived many battles and schemes. Alas, the people were ungrateful.
Viscount was mainly focused in increasing his strength and peacefully growing the province, unfortunately, he was set up by the jealous people of similar ranks.
With no support from any higher ranks than him, Terias had been exhausted of his potential while fighting a life and death battle.
His future of being a high ranked KI warrior was finished when he used his lifespan to barely make it alive out of the fight.
...
Viscount Terias had slowly recovered from his injuries but the damage done was huge, it was not possible to increase his martial strength while also keeping his lifespan from waning.
John warner, the Viscount's butler felt it was a pity for such a good man to be dealt with in this way, even now his descendants were plotting for the Viscount title.
Unaware of the sacrifices needed to secure the position, they schemed against their potential competitors and the current Viscount for the lowly noble title of Viscount.
Terias was never interested in woman, his entire life of close to 80 years, his fascination and interest remained in KI and its various application. He was a martial artist to the core.
...
He never married but his other three brother's all had children with many concubines. The only obstacle right now in their path to power was Terias, resulting in various tactics to put an end to him.
They also knew that the Viscount was supporting his life by KI energy, if not for that he would already have died.
John sighed, with no possible solution in his mind, disappointed, he left to do his lord's bidding.
He had to prepare for the current attendants change of service and also go to convince the widows from the unfortunate incident to work under his lord.
...
Terias, in fact was unconcerned, because the response he got from slightly overeating the tasty food was interesting.
Infront of his eyes he could see his overeating capacity or whatever it could be called on a screen.
Overeating (storing energy) 42%
"Doesn't that mean every thing the body has been through has its stat recorded in the notepad ability and it also gives real time feedback?" Terias was surprised as he thought of the potential of his ability.
"If I were to train my body with this ability I will be able to track the progress of any injury and such, that means I would only be hurt once from overtraining.
Except for the first time when I would be badly hurt, I would be able to track the progress next time if I get close to injuring myself, and I can stop.
Not only can I physically break through many limits, I can also use the energy more efficiently and further experiment with this.
No wonder the guy did not use the Ying Yang technique, he could literally solve the issue on his own.
How did he die then? Or more like who did he die to?" Terias summarized it all into the possibility of conspiracy and betrayal.
...
"Even if the old man was unaware of poisoning or anything else, the progress ability would have notified him of his body parts being poisoned."
"Or it could be that the ability has had slight upgrades after my transmigration, resulting in the real time feedback after upgrade."
"That's a lot of things to take into account before taking action." Terias frowned in frustration, he was making assumptions and trying to make sense
"At least I am able to use KI with ease, looks like the muscle memory helped me get accustomed to it." He said while coating his hands with KI.
The ease with which he was moving around the KI energy was really a surprise.
Unfortunately the energy was limited and had to be kept at his core because of his near depletion life energy.
...
According to his calculation he needed almost 20 years of lifespan before he could safely start training his KI.
His current large amount of KI was only able to sustain him for 3-4 years. Depending on the recovery rate of his KI, he could actually live for longer.
But the energy recovery needed to be surplus than the amount being consumed. Not to mention the KI was only an aid to life energy not a replacement.
Those things aside, currently his goal was to enjoy the life to the fullest. For that, he needed power and for that he needed the women for ying yang method, though in the end he only wanted beautiful women.
...
"Time to look for the bugs in the house" he said before moving out of his dining room
currently he had three KI techniques :
Reinforce - as the name suggests, it boosts the physical body stats.
Defense - it makes a dense layer of skin, increasing the resistance to damage.
Sense - sense the surrounding area, even 3d map was possible
But his lack of KI would only let him use these weakly, especially the sensing technique. He did not mind it though, since sense could still boost his hearing to a great extent even with the limited amount of ki.
Also, even though his physical age was close to 80, and he did not learn many skills but the sensing technique and body augmentations the previous Viscount had learned and researched was far superior.
Allowing him to easily get away unnoticed while using these abilities.
"John is the only one close to my level of strength, rest of the people in the mansion have barely touched my level 3." he was a level 3 martial artist, though levels rarely mattered in fights where skills excelled.
The amount of KI was divided into levels as the energy slowly transformed the physique, ever so slightly increasing all the body's stats with the increase in energy.
With these random thoughts running in his mind, he slowly walked into hallways of the manor.
He only gained information about certain members because of the notes function in his ability, where the real Viscount had made notes about it.
Right now, he was exploring the manor for the first time, collecting what little information he could.
Since, he did not know the manor's allocations and the identity of the room's owner. He could only guess the room owner's identity based on its size and the number of servants around it.
"Effectively, I only have three chances to use sense consecutively, if i push myself any further then the life aiding augmentation would fail." he had to use these chances very effectively, if his augmentation failed then his already short lifespan would be halved or even worse, he might die instantly.
...
He moved down from his floor to the next one after roaming for a while, he could hear the sounds from the lower floors while on his walk, and he already had some guesses of which one the good rooms with important personnel and their masters would be.
He descended to the lower floor, strolled around slowly towards his target location.
The number of personnel and servants moving around were in dozen. He had a guess that it was one of his third brother's son.
All of his brothers were living outside his manor, they were at different places managing work for him. Their sons were the only one living here because they were going to be the next Viscount, because Terias did not have a child.
...
Terias went close to the room, the servants bowed and left without disturbing him, when he felt that he was in a good range, he used the sense technique.
KI spanned out and covered an area of twenty square meters. He was getting real time feedback from it, as if watching a 3d construct from third person perspective.
He controlled his KI to only occupy the room, inside the room he sensed two figure with level one KI. The individuals were both woman. one was in her bath while the other was softly massaging her shoulders.
"Jackpot, gorgeous lady in first go" Terias was visibly excited, he could sense the figure of the servant massaging a mature woman inside the bathtub.
...
The servant had supple breasts, about to be pulled out, draped in a loose gown. Many spots on her cloth was wet from water, sticking seductively to her skin.
One side of her breast was entirely wet and had helped him in visualizing her supple breasts in full glory.
The servant had an hourglass figure with great assets and a not so thin waist with flat stomach.
Her buttocks were huge, at one point even sticking to her gown, protesting to tear out of the fabric and show off to the world. Since the servant was wearing a gown, he could only sense this much from the loose cloth.
The woman in bath on the other side was diff matter, he could sense both her huge breasts and her bare skin to the waist.
Her hair was pulled in a ponytail, still some of her hair strands stuck to the wet breasts making it a sensual scene.
The left one was slight bigger than the right, but they were plump and firm. The rest of her body was inside water and could not be sensed with his current expertise of Ki.
Both of their faces had sharp nose, and a beautiful facial structure. He was tempted to use all his Ki to get a better sense of their seductive bodies.
...
He barely maintained his impulsive urges and let whatever Ki he could return to himself back in his body.
In his second target's room, again the people inside were women. This time it was a single woman, not worth watching.
With a sigh of regret on a loss of one of his chance, he left the second target and moved for the third. The third target's area was quiet, devoid of the hustle and bustle he had sensed earlier.
He still used sense once he got into a sufficient range. The results this time were worth more than the previous two attempts combined.
The lady had her legs both spread, lying on the edge of bed. On the ground, a man with beard was sat with his face towards the edge of the bed.
...
Facing the lady's legs spread open, the man was about to dive in, the lady said something while lying in the bed with her robe fully open.
The man after her listening her words, dived straight into her already spread sexy legs, sticking his tongue out, the man licked her thoroughly before further pushing his tongue inside her wet hole.
The lady mumbled something, another command of her, Teias assumed. The man with both his hands behind his back, again dived in.
Only using his lips and tongue to tickle and lick her wet lips, this time the duration of oral was a few seconds longer as he breathlessly licked and tongued the lady's sweet vagina.
The women's breast trembled, her breathing was erratic. She had her fingers inside her mouth as she began roughly suckling on them. Her sweat erotically lay trembling on her toned waist.
The lady unable to hold back, locked the man's head between her legs while mumbling frantically.
Terias unable to wait any further, decided to concentrate on hearing them talk even if it shortened the techniques duration. He concentrated his sense to the edge of the bed and focused all of his available Ki to hear them talk.
"mmhh
Ahh Yes
Good John, mhhm keep going" the lady spoke in hushed voice.
