******* Revenge ********
It's been three months since I started my new hidden life. I'm in stage three. I'm slowly progressing. The energy I get from sex with other slaves is less and less significant. Luckily, Shi and Song have breakthrough up to two.
We've decided to keep going at this pace. Twice a day. Expanding their container, and then absorbing. The idea is that when I break through, they'll be close too. If they advance too much, I'll absorb more qi from them until I do it. If they don't make it, we'll devote more time to them. We only have sex to meet the objectives. Well, maybe not only. I think we'd have it anyway. I'd rather not think about it.
We've decided to also raise Liang to stage one, although she doesn't know. I've convinced her to start cultivating. When I asked her what she'd do if she got it, she almost freaked out, thinking I'd kick her out. She was about to refuse to cultivate more, until I assured her otherwise. Liang doesn't really know how much she needs. She doesn't control it too much. I do. She should break through in a few weeks. With my help.
Song is getting more and more excited. And impatient. She's noticed that the circulation of qi is healing her. But very slowly. She can see how it's possible to grow her teeth again. How she could correct her nose if she had a little more. How her scars are, very slowly, disappearing. And that her leg could heal. But it'd take forever at her current level
The problem is that she wants it now. She has to be patient. She can't speed up the process. But she complains every time she has the chance. Shi's given up on her. She laughs at her, and the other sulks. But it doesn't last long.
Copying manuals is going well. I can more or less understand several techniques, but only superficially. I'd need to be able to study them in more depth. And practice them. But at least, it gives me knowledge of what kind of techniques there are. And a general idea of how they work. Students say that it is very useful to counteract opponents' techniques. It's also said to improve one's own or help create them. All of that seems far away.
My qi detection is already at four hundred meters. And I think I have mastered the "Inner Armor" quite well. But it's difficult to test. Maybe, I'll have to ask the girls to hit me. For now, it's more of a priority to store qi and give it to them.
Everything is going more or less well, if it weren't for a serious problem that has arisen. Ai is in the infirmary. It isn't serious. She has been beaten by the person responsible for Shi and Song almost dying. Apparently, Ai has let herself go. She told him that sex with a slave was much better than with him.
He hit her until she said my name. Ai is devastated. She thinks she's put me in danger. And it may be so. Shi, Song and Liang also believe it. And some slaves.
We can do nothing except be vigilant. For now, they're informing me of the student's movements. He hasn't left for a couple of days. He's a relatively new student, almost a year and a half. And he's only in stage two. Like his "little princess".
They've become complacent. They've wasted a lot of time enjoying the advantages of being students of the sect. Some of the new ones are like that. They're the ones who give us the most problems. To the slaves. And now, they're nervous, and the slaves pay for it again. Hopefully, he'll dedicate themselves to cultivating, and forget about us. About me.
In addition, they have more pressure for having entered at a certain age. Many students enter at just seven and eight years old. They're close to twenty, the entry limit. If they don't advance quickly, they could be thrown out for not having potential.

I've followed Pen. She is a blonde slave, with a slightly larger chest than Song's. It's easy for me to follow her with qi detection. And easier than looking for her later. We fuck standing up, she with her back turned. I accelerate her orgasm more than usual. We have to finish quickly. I've detected someone nearby. They're watching us.
After sex, I help her chop some wood. The presence of qi is still hidden in the same place. I put a piece of mirror on the axe, discreetly. I have a lot of "junk" stored away. I pretend to check the axe while trying to look in the direction of the qi. I finally manage to see a head. It's Jiang Shang. The bastard who hit Ai.
I help Pen pick up the wood. When she leaves, I follow her with my eyes. Jiang Shang doesn't move. When I walk away, he follows me. He's in stage two. Just in case, I undo my seal. He shouldn't be able to tell the difference. The qi of our realm is internal. It's too subtle for someone who isn't in the Soul realm.
I chop more wood. I'm not sure if he's just spying on me or looking for an opportunity. Either way, he's bugging me. I wanted to call Shi and Song.
I decide to check his intentions now that I know where he is. I stick the axe into a log. I test it. With stage three strength, it's hard to pull it out. Unless you swing it until it gives way. But that takes some time.
I move away from the axe and start loading logs to carry them. I have my back to him.
He approaches the axe and tries to grab it. He can't. I turn around.
"Do you need something?" I ask him with feigned respect.
Slaves have to be respectful to students. But when we're working, the work takes priority over any orders they might give us.
"Ehmm... Yes, come here for a moment," he improvises, visibly embarrassed.
When I get closer, he punches me in the stomach. I bent over and fall to the ground. It hurts.
"You know. With this force, I might have broken a few ribs. Or maybe, your liver is hurt," he boasts.
I protect my face, and he kicks me in the stomach.
"You know, I hate your existence. A slave so arrogant as to have sex in the middle of work. You need a lesson. Better yet, you need to die!"
He kicks me again.
