The night grew deeper. The sweltering heat of the day had mostly receded, but the damp stuffiness inside the room became increasingly suffocating.
After witnessing with her own eyes her sister going through the process from despair to awakening, just like herself a few days ago, and seeing that although she was dazed and limp in the end, she was ultimately fine... Lee So-yeon's heart, though aching beyond words...
Ultimately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thus, facing Chuck's demands once again, having already been deflowered, she didn't hesitate for too long. With flushed cheeks, she proactively reached her slender arms behind her back, her fingertips pressing against the slightly trembling butterfly wings, and spread them open to the sides as he requested.
The giant dragon unceremoniously entered upon invitation.
The familiar expansion and pain struck again, but compared to the tearing sensation of the first time, it was nowhere near the same magnitude. With tears in her eyes, afraid of waking her sister beside her, Lee So-yeon forcibly held back her cries of pain.
The fingertips of her slender, soft hands still pressed against her soft buttock cheeks, maintaining the spreading action, allowing Chuck to wantonly vent his final desires on her slender body. Every impact slapped against her soft, bouncy buttocks with a smack.
With the concerted efforts of the sisters, Chuck finally neared the finish line. In the end, he couldn't help but lift one leg, stepping directly on the scattered black hair at the back of Lee So-yeon's head. He pressed the exquisite cheek of this once globally popular South Korean female idol fiercely against the bedsheet, his waist pounding wildly like a pile driver.
It thrust so hard her jade legs trembled wildly, both pink feet leaving the ground. Biting the bedsheet tightly, she endured this violent yet irresistible pleasure.
Finally, accompanied by a low roar from Chuck, Lee So-yeon's feet blossomed like flowers. Her broken face, stepped into the bedboard blanket, completely lost control while flushed red from holding her breath. Her flat lower abdomen slowly bulged, and splashes of water once again scattered and flew onto the floor.
[Lee So-yeon's trust level towards you has increased by 5 points. Current Trust Level: 16 (Stranger)]
A similar light screen appeared again. This final venting of the sister double-flight was ultimately borne entirely by the older sister.

...
Wang Xinrui hadn't been doing well recently.
It wasn't that her life was bad after coming to Chuck's place. On the contrary, she had enough to eat, slept warmly, and when working during the day, her leader Julia was lively, cheerful, and patient. Plus, sharing the not-too-heavy farming work with Nicole and the others, she actually had quite a leisurely time.
What made her feel unwell was that feeling of the sword of Damocles hanging over her head.
Although in the beginning, she followed everyone in going with the flow to initiate the "trade" with Chuck, thereby obtaining her current sheltered treatment, this simple Henan girl always found it hard to mentally prepare for matters between men and women in this regard.
It wasn't that she was unwilling, much less resisting Chuck. On the contrary, Chuck was tall, had broad shoulders and thick arms. When he worked normally, his muscles were tight, and sweat trickled down his neck. She had secretly peeked several times, her heart skipping half a beat each time.
But the key, as expected, still lay in the fear of the unknown.
So during this period, Wang Xinrui tried to do as much work as possible, often even proactively lending a hand to others' work, just to show her value as labor as much as possible, so Chuck might notice her a bit later...
But reaching today, this method had probably come to an end.
Last night, curled up in her bed, she watched the sisters Lee So-yeon and Lee Na-eun holding hands, walking out of the cave with resolute faces, followed immediately by bursts of vague, shrill screams.
Until just early this morning, when Lee Na-eun returned to the cave to rest, limping with a pale face, Wang Xinrui's heart instantly went half cold.
At this point, besides Tang Yumo, who was disdained by Chuck, and that newly arrived female merchant said to be from the Tang Dynasty, the island north women who initially made the promise following Lee So-yeon—even that Lee Na-eun who was once exchanged—had all become Chuck's women. Only she alone remained, still unable to make up her mind.
Although when Chuck crossed paths with her normally, he still maintained that gentle and plain attitude, seemingly not caring that she delayed proactively offering herself like the other island north women.
But although Wang Xinrui was simple, she was not naive. Chuck was gentle, true, but patience was also hidden within that gentleness. One day, she would have to make a choice. And the results exchanged for being proactive versus being forced were completely different; He Xiaoyu and the others had already proven this point.
"Am I going to be fucked too..."
The early morning cave still carried a hint of chill. Wang Xinrui lay in her bed, her eyes wide open, staring at the rough rocks overhead.
But ultimately, she still couldn't make up her mind.
...
The morning after the water diversion pipeline project was successfully completed, before the temperature rose to a point even he found unbearable, Chuck went to the volcanic zone to observe for a bit.
Just as he had initially anticipated, after he diverted the largest of the three water sources, the original volcanic hot spring indeed shrank a bit, but still maintained a scale large enough for everyone in the house to bathe together. Practically speaking, there was no impact.
Now that the water problem was also smoothly solved, the tasks before Chuck next, besides persisting in tempering his body and crafting weapons and equipment needed to conquer the BOSSes, were still a large amount of blueprint construction work.
With no worry about water, the upgrade and expansion of the farm shed and livestock shed could be put on the agenda. As the scale of breeding and planting expanded, the family's life could develop from having enough food and clothing towards a well-off state. At the same time, the arrival of the island north women also made the expansion of the house seem more necessary; with more space at home, living would naturally be more comfortable.
Thus, basic building materials such as hardwood, stone bricks, steel beams, and concrete had to enter a continuous accumulation process, just like before.
This was a quite time-consuming phase, but the good news was that Chuck didn't need to rush this at all. Moreover, after upgrading his gathering tools, Chuck had, to some extent, successfully combined working out with labor, so he could totally advance it in passing.
As for the current key target, it was making that sniper crossbow for Valentina.
But as a professional, Valentina seemed to have some rather strict ideas about the weapon she used. After a brief discussion, she proactively asked Chuck to give her some time to think before finalizing the production plan.
So another period of plain yet fulfilling days arrived.
The extreme heat weather lasted for three days. Then Chuck spent another four days successively completing the upgrade blueprints for the farm shed and livestock shed.
The upgraded farm shed and livestock shed not only each expanded their area by 50%, but their overall sturdiness and waterproofness also further improved. With more space, Julia and Janet quickly utilized it, starting to lead their helpers step by step to pen and plant more livestock and crops.
However, during this process, a new problem arose.
Increasing the scale of livestock in the shed went very smoothly. But considering the increase in the house's population, the demand for textiles also gradually rose. Thus, most of the extra space from the farm shed expansion had to be used to additionally plant more mulberry trees. The problem was, the artificial cave used for raising silkworms had now become quite crowded.
After the island north women moved in, as well as the recently arrived Liu Siyao, the beds, the wooden shelves for raising silkworms, the mulberry wine brewing in the corner, and some miscellaneous items had already filled the already not-so-spacious cave. He couldn't find any space to place additional wooden shelves at all...
To solve this problem, there were currently two methods. Either speed up the expansion blueprint design of the deserted island villa, build out the second floor, and have the island north women in the residence cave all move into the residence as well.
Or, start a project Chuck had always put on hold—the expansion of the artificial cave.
The main purpose Chuck manually excavated such a cave in the rock wall behind the residence back then was to escape the extreme heat weather. But now, as his house began to take shape, the heat insulation effect of the composite walls made of heavy quartz sand bricks and limestone bricks was also sufficient to meet basic heat insulation needs.
The function of the artificial cave gradually changed from escaping the summer heat initially, to additional living, storage, and breeding space.
Chuck didn't hesitate for too long before making a decision.
The amount of materials needed to complete the villa construction was too massive; the time required would probably be quite long. And even after Chuck's villa was built in the future, and the island north women moved out of the cave just the same, this excellent cool space just a few steps from the residence was also a perfect functional space for storage, winemaking, and silkworm raising.
Therefore, expanding the cave first was never a loss.
Moreover, the reason he couldn't excavate the cave to completion in one breath back then was because he encountered hard granite parts after penetrating deep into the rock mass, and had no choice but to change his strategy.
Now Chuck had not only mastered iron smelting and steel forging techniques, but also further enlarged and increased the weight of the original steel pickaxe. To be fair, he had long wanted to test the strength of this granite. Plus, such hard rock material would definitely come in handy during further construction and expansion later on.
Decision made, time to take action.
To avoid losses and injuries, Chuck informed the women in the house about the decision to excavate and expand the cave after breakfast in advance. Thus, beds and wooden shelves for raising silkworms were successively temporarily moved from the cave to the main room living room and storage room by the women.
Chuck took the oversized, weighted steel pickaxe, exerted the strength he used when fucking, and began wildly pounding and chiseling.
This chiseling took another full three days.
But honestly speaking, the efficiency was actually faster than Chuck expected. After all, during the first excavation, it took him a full five days.
Although the granite was indeed incredibly hard, with his currently further transformed physical strength, plus the oversized steel pickaxe several times stronger than that bronze pickaxe back then, the efficiency was actually even higher.
The artificial cave Chuck originally excavated was a semi-elliptical cave 6 meters wide, 3 meters deep, and just over 2 meters high. This time, Chuck didn't change its overall width and height. Instead, along the original direction, he continued to excavate 3 meters deeper from the granite rock mass, turning it into a nearly circular artificial cave six meters square.
If the original cave was about the size of a bedroom, the expanded one was about the size of a living room.
Not only that, because the depth of the cave increased, the heat insulation effect of the newly excavated granite area on the inner side further increased. Whether it was winemaking, keeping a constant temperature for raising silkworms, or even storing non-perishable foods like sweet potatoes or dried meat, the effect would certainly be better than before.
However, increasing the excavation depth inevitably required considering the danger of cave collapse. Therefore, following Yitong's advice, Chuck spent some extra time and effort to build a simple hardwood anti-collapse support frame inside his cave.
At this point, Chuck's artificial cave had finally evolved into its complete form!
And this could be considered his other large-scale project, besides the water diversion pipeline, completed with painstaking effort without relying on the workbench cheat. It truly brought a full sense of achievement.
The island north women, who had made do in the main room for three days, successively moved back into the doubled-in-size cave with feelings of joy and shock. At the same time, Chuck also placed the extra wooden shelves for raising silkworms and reeling silk together with the original ones, doubling the scale as well.
Originally collecting silk once every four days was enough to make about two pieces of clothing. After increasing the scale, it meant obtaining enough fabric to make one piece of clothing every day on average. This way, the silk fabric in the house would be much more abundant.
Any surplus could be further sewn into bedsheets or quilt covers, moving the living conditions at home further towards comfort.
As for Valentina's side, she had finally thought of the design plan for the sniper crossbow a few days ago. After discussing it with Chuck and the Gu family mother and daughter acting as the think tank, Chuck used the DIY recipe function of the workbench to design a preliminary sniper crossbow blueprint based on the finalized results.
Among the components, besides the most basic crossbow body, string, and bolts, the most crucial part was the scope.
Since it was a "sniper" crossbow requiring long range and emphasizing accuracy, a scope was naturally indispensable. And for Chuck, who had already made a telescope, it wasn't a difficult task. He planned to collect materials and make it immediately after the cave excavation was finished, so Valentina could practice diligently.
Similarly, after making the heavy forty-kilogram oversized steel halberd for himself, Chuck didn't neglect combat training. His daily workout routine also added practicing thrusting and slashing movements with the steel halberd by the seaside.
So over the past week or so, Chuck's high-intensity daily workouts and labor had further improved his base physical stats, which had now reached 1.4.
However, just as he expected, the speed of improvement slowed down further; it was all 0.01 improvements. Even this morning, for the first time, Chuck didn't see the physical stat improvement light screen.
But this also meant he was step by step approaching the current upper limit of strength he could reach.
All in all, everything was progressing very smoothly.
And the day Chuck would start sprinting towards the final boss was getting closer and closer...
