Liu Siyao and Wang Xinrui.
Things he had only just considered the previous night had reached conclusions one after another in just half a day, which was somewhat unexpected even for Chuck.
However, just as it was rare for Chuck to dwell on such matters, for him, now surrounded by a harem, the progress of conquering one or two women no longer occupied his mind as it once had.
There are always priorities in life.
In the afternoon, after Chuck and Valentina reached an agreement on the design of the sniper crossbow bipod, a simple bit of designing and synthesizing saw the crucial weapon completely finished.
The next step was to give Valentina enough time to become thoroughly familiar with this lethal weapon so she could truly become an asset in combat.
As things progressed according to plan, over a month had passed since the women from the north of the island arrived.
Both inside and outside the residence, various tasks were being handled with increasing order, and everyone's roles had become fully established.
Thus, the "Follower Binding" that Chuck had set aside for so long was finally undertaken on this unremarkable evening.
However, the final binding arrangement differed from what Chuck had initially envisioned.
The root cause was that the bonus effects shared and granted to a bound companion via the Follower Binding function were only the companion-side bonuses.
For example, if Matsuzaka Emi, who currently followed Gu Yitong, were bound as her follower, the bonus she could share would only be "Milk Secretion," and would not include the storage space.
But if she were bound to Janet, thanks to the companion-side effect of "Human Rancher," she could share the "Milk Secretion" effect and also provide an additional boost to livestock efficiency.
However, due to the restrictions on aura-type effects, each bound companion could only provide a 10% bonus.
So, in the end, the workbench binding didn't actually need to be related to the actual work being performed.
Every companion with maximum trust possessed five follower slots.
Right now, Chuck didn't have many pending followers, so naturally, the companions capable of sharing stronger effects were prioritized for binding.
The final result was as follows—
Nicole, He Xiaoyu, Matsuzaka Emi, and Sofia were all bound to Julia's follower slots.
It was simple and crude, yet the wisest choice at the moment.
Julia's companion-side bonus was the most important planting-type boost currently available.
With a 20x crop growth acceleration, plus four additional 10% follower buffs, the speed could be increased to 28x.
This shortened the original four-to-five-day planting and harvesting cycle to about three days, naturally allowing production to increase further.
As crop growth accelerated, feed for livestock and mulberry leaves became more abundant, allowing Janet to further increase the scale of the livestock shed.
At this point, not just the silkworms, but the goats, wild boars, and wild chickens were all starting to increase in number, all heading toward doubling their populations.
More livestock meant more manure and fertilizer.
Cycling back and forth, through the dual-end bonuses of the mare aunt and niece, Chuck's deserted island farm could easily achieve a closed energy loop.
Thinking about it was actually a bit terrifying.
But that was the situation.
Once Wang Xinrui offered herself and became a follower, she would likely be bound under Julia as well, filling all five slots.
Subsequent followers could then be bound to other people...
The only thing that made Chuck feel regret was, as expected, Liu Siyao.
As a rare large-breasted mature beauty among the women Chuck had met since arriving on the island, if she could be taken as a follower and bound under Janet or Gu Yitong, sharing their milk-secreting ability, the breakfast flavors at home would have another variety.
The "True Human Ranch" of his imagination would not be far off.
Now, he could only have a single taste, which was truly a pity.
But since he had promised her, Chuck wouldn't waste any more words.
He took some time to chop trees in the nearby jungle, mixing regular wood and hardwood.
After about half a day of work, he used the workbench to design and synthesize a small wooden boat, three meters long and one meter wide, complete with a linen sail.
Normally, if Chuck wanted to go to sea himself, he wouldn't use such a small boat.
But for his promise to Liu Siyao, this boat—at least sturdy and solid—already completely exceeded her expectations.
And for a woman destined to perish at sea, Chuck was destined not to waste too much time or resources.
However, when Chuck showed the small boat to Liu Siyao, judging by the expression of joy on her face, she was very satisfied.
Then Chuck had no objections.
The deal was struck, and the next step was naturally the time to collect the reward.
For nearly a week after Liu Siyao inspected and accepted the small wooden boat, she unreservedly taught Chuck the arts of planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms.
She even went a step further than Chuck's original request.
After the silkworms spun their cocoons, she gave detailed critiques and instructions on the tools Chuck used for reeling silk, the looms for weaving, and the subsequent dyeing processes.
Throughout the process, Chuck was like a sponge, soaking up knowledge.
In all his years of school, he had never listened so intently.
Similarly, the exquisite skill Liu Siyao displayed deeply shocked him.
He even became convinced that many of the techniques she taught him were likely long-lost crafts.
Looking at it this way, it certainly fit her identity as a Tang Dynasty female merchant.
Thus, in just a few days, Chuck transformed from a complete amateur into a master-level traditional mulberry farmer, weaver, dyer, and tailor.
After that, another storm hit the deserted island, lasting for two full days without ceasing.
It was not until a week after they set their "night of passion" agreement, on an evening when the hundred-day countdown showed 53 days.
By the dining table, while the wind and rain raged outside and the firelight flickered within, Liu Siyao finally blushed across her mature cheeks, lowered her eyes, and nodded gently.
"If it is truly as the Young Master says, and the rain stops tomorrow, then tonight..."
"My body belongs to the Young Master."
After teaching Chuck her family's secret techniques, she would sail away alone toward a Great Tang that she might never reach.
This was the agreement they had made from the very start.
She knew in her heart that this journey was a narrow escape from death, so at least before then, she would have a final settling with this man who was destined to be unforgettable to her for the rest of her life...
To spend a night of passion with him.
Hearing this, Chuck, sitting across the dining table, nodded in satisfaction.
He still had traces of moisture on him, clearly having just showered.
In the bedroom to the side, the air was already damp and muggy with rising steam.
An empty glass bottle sat casually by the bed.
The harem members lying haphazardly on the bed all had bulging lower abdomens, eyes rolled back, and tongues lolling, with juices occasionally trickling from between their legs.
Since it was a stormy day and Chuck had nothing else to do, he had finished dealing with all the women in the house early.
It just so happened that Liu Siyao had proactively come to "request battle."
So even though he had just finished bathing, looking at that pair of snowy-white peaks covered by the cyan robe, Chuck couldn't hide his curiosity regarding the "vastness" of this ancient woman's chest.
He stood up, glanced at the already occupied large bed, hesitated for a moment while scratching his chin, and then proactively headed toward the side storage room.
"Follow me."
There was no room left on the large bedroom bed, and fighting a large-breasted mature woman there would surely be cramped.
Liu Siyao would inevitably feel awkward.
And Chuck had never put away the single bed in the storage room that had once belonged to Janet, then been passed to Jiang Qi, and finally left vacant.
It was kept for exactly this kind of special 1v1 battle.
This was their perfect battlefield.
Seeing this, Liu Siyao bit her lip, her cheeks flushing.
She understood exactly what was about to happen next.
She stood up slowly, her plump female body swaying gently under the cyan robe in the firelight.
She followed behind Chuck and stepped into the narrow storage room.
The space in the storage room wasn't large, and with all the clutter, it felt even more cramped.
As they stepped inside one after the other, the distance between them closed several times over.
They could almost feel each other's scent.
Chuck's face was calm as he sat on the edge of the bed first.
Liu Siyao's cheeks were crimson.
She hesitated for a moment before sitting down side-by-side with him.
Though her movements were still dignified, she couldn't hide her nervous trembling.
She placed her hands folded on her knees, eyes downcast, her loose black hair covering half of her elegant, mature face.
After a long silence, she finally asked in a voice so faint it was nearly inaudible:
"Young Master Chuck... what... what should this humble woman do?"
Despite being over thirty and having a mature, plump figure, Liu Siyao's "knowledge" in matters of men and women was no different from a teenage girl's.
Due to the limited information and conservative social values of ancient times, her understanding remained extremely shallow.
To describe her, she was like an extra-large sheet of blank paper.
But the advantage was that the larger the paper, the more content could be filled in...
"Take off your clothes first."
Chuck didn't hold back his commands.
After all, there was only one night.
He didn't have the patience to waste time on training; he just wanted to enjoy her properly.
Hearing this, Liu Siyao's cheeks were instantly dyed with a deep flush.
Her hands instinctively gripped the collar of her cyan robe.
But after a moment of hesitation, she finally stood up slowly.
Her shyness made it impossible for her to undress while facing Chuck, so she turned her back.
Finally, she slowly raised her hands and began to remove her clothing piece by piece.
Rustle, rustle...
The cyan robe, slightly faded from washing, was untied and fell, piling up around her soft boots.
It revealed her plain white undergarments.
A faint body fragrance emerged.
Liu Siyao's shoulders trembled slightly.
After a long hesitation, the inner layer also gradually loosened and slid down her snowy-white shoulders.
Plump, rosy-pink shoulders, a fair and smooth back, and two thin red silk ribbons hidden by her long black hair.
The ribbons went from the back of her neck to her waist, seemingly connecting to a piece of fabric in the front that cradled her full, heavy breasts.
The overflow of that snowy-white milk-flesh could be seen even from behind, trembling gently with her nervous breaths.
Her waist was slender yet flexible.
Her white silk underpants were thin and form-fitting, with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on the edges.
They clung to the base of her thighs, clearly outlining the contours of her two full, snowy buttock cheeks.
The plain inner garment finally slipped away completely.
Liu Siyao remained standing with her back to Chuck, her black hair draped down.
Her ears and neck were already bright red with shame.
Her shoulders shook slightly.
She still hadn't turned around, only keeping her head lowered and her hands shielding her front.
Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum:
"Young Master... is this... acceptable?"
Chuck had already swiftly stripped off his own clothes.
He sat with his legs crossed, satisfyingly admiring this scene where classical charm intertwined with eroticism.
He spoke calmly but in a way that brooked no refusal.
"Keep taking them off."
At his words, Liu Siyao's body began to shake visibly.
This female merchant in her thirties, who had weathered the commercial seas of Jiangnan for nearly a decade, was now acting like a virginal girl fresh from the boudoir.
She shivered like a little white rabbit before a man, her ears so red they almost dripped blood.
She hesitated for a long time before finally, as if resigning herself to her fate, she slowly raised her hands.
She reached behind her neck and waist and untied those two thin red silk ribbons.
The moment the ribbons loosened, the red chest-wrap dudou lost its support.
The snowy-white, full milk-flesh instantly bounced out.
Like two heavy, large steamed buns, they swayed heavily twice, carrying a burst of female fragrance.
Liu Siyao hurriedly clutched them with her hands in a panic.
This time, she refused to continue no matter what.
Liu Siyao was so ashamed that even her neck was red.
Despite her desperate attempts to shield herself, she couldn't hide that pair of shockingly large breasts.
Below her plump waist, the final pair of underpants wrapping her fleshy buttocks and thighs had yet to be removed.
Chuck waited for a moment and finally lost his patience.
In consensual intercourse, Chuck was always willing to give a woman basic respect.
But since tonight was a rare "one-time-only" night of passion, how could he have so much time to watch her act coy?
Getting down to business was the real priority.
Thinking this, Chuck suddenly stood up.
He grabbed her slender waist in one move, and amidst Liu Siyao's soft cry of shock and shame, he hauled her onto the bed and leaned over her.
"Ah...!"
Liu Siyao turned pale with fright.
Her jet-black hair was a mess as she was pinned flat on her back.
A pair of exaggerated meat-peaks rippled violently from the sudden movement.
Amidst the rolling milk-waves and overflowing female scent, she finally revealed her full form to Chuck for the first time.
Looking at the pair of "large steamed buns" in front of him, Chuck's eyebrows shot up in surprise.
So big.
Chuck had long been aware of these massive breasts, so the "big" naturally didn't refer to the breasts themselves.
Rather, it referred to the dark-red "meat dates" (nipples) embedded at the peaks.
These meat dates were a full size larger than Gu Yitong's shy, inverted ones or Janet's flushed, massive ones.
They were perfectly round, full, and had a healthy color.
Paired with that heavy white flesh, it was a masterpiece of nature.
What great milkers.
Just by looking at them, Chuck's mouth began to water, and his appetite was fully aroused.
