The first use of the recall skill wasn't as dizzying as imagined.
After stepping into the jungle, Chuck didn't approach the junction between the river valley and the volcano. Instead, finding a secluded spot, he triggered the activated recall skill—A Maiden's Prayer.
Vision flashed black then white. When Chuck opened his eyes, he was at the edge of the eastern jungle, his usual firewood gathering spot below the stone platform.
Chuck raised an eyebrow, impressed by Momo's exclusive bonus.
Painless, sensationless instant recall. Current cooldown: only 12 hours. Basically twice a day!
Broken skill.
"Darling! You're back!"
Climbing up from below the platform, Chuck returned before lunch, meeting Julia's longing gaze from the bench.
The blonde mare didn't even question why he came from below instead of the steep slope. Seeing him calm and safe, her worries vanished. She sprinted towards him, throwing herself into his arms.
"I was so worried!"
Gripping his shirt, Julia looked up with her exquisite doll-like face, tears shimmering in her blue eyes.
Despite the message, his long silence had made her anxious. Unable to focus on work, she ended up waiting like a loyal wife staring at the slope.
"Sorry, unexpected situation. Took some time."
Chuck stroked her fluffy blonde hair, feeling her familiar soft body. His combat readiness since morning relaxed.
The blonde mare was the best. Seeing her, no matter the burden, his mood lightened and warmed.
He kissed her soft lips, cupped her face, and smiled.
"Left in a hurry this morning. Hungry now. Is there food?"
"Oh my God, of course!"
Hearing this, Julia sprang into action, rushing into the house on her long white legs.
"Sister Yitong, Aunt Janet, Darling is back!"
The house bustled. Figures emerged, surrounding Chuck. Smoke rose from the chimney.
Chuck hugged left and right, kissing lips and groping breasts like a decadent emperor, escorted inside by his harem.
Moments later, familiar slapping sounds and moans echoed from the house.
...
The northern trip was a success for Chuck.
Source of the eerie light confirmed. Northern terrain mapped. Another "all-female" survivor settlement discovered.
Knowing each woman could offer unexpected help, Chuck held a family meeting at dinner after an afternoon of indulgence.
Omitting the supernatural pedestal and stone doors, he detailed everything else: the hot spring, the giant bird, the river valley, the northern jungle and beach, and the struggling female survivors.
"Lee So-yeon? Candy singer Lee So-yeon?!"
As expected, gasps of disbelief erupted.
Julia, Momo, Kaoru, and Kaede stared at Chuck, processing the name.
Though beautiful enough to be stars, real "stars" had an intangible aura of fame. Knowing a screen idol was struggling nearby impacted these young girls significantly.
Of course, mature women indifferent to pop culture were less affected.
"From your description, these people... don't seem dangerous?"
Valentina rested her chin on her hand, frowning slightly.
As a former soldier distinguishing civilians from hostiles, she pictured a group of helpless women.
Like the ones here.
"Mmh. Compared to you, harmless. At least the ones I saw."
"...The ones you saw?"
Janet frowned suspiciously, hugging her massive chest.
"They didn't let me deep into the jungle, so their numbers are uncertain. And talking to Lee So-yeon, I learned something unexpected..."
"What news?"
Yitong stood up, stacking bowls, looking at Chuck curiously.
"..."
Chuck looked across the table at Kaede and Kaoru.
Especially Kaoru.
Feeling his gaze, Kaoru, busy discussing idols, looked up. Meeting his eyes, her face flushed, and she lowered her head helplessly.
Despite opening up to Chuck and smiling again, she maintained a submissive, timid demeanor, partly due to love and submission, partly due to self-loathing and guilt.
Guilt towards Kaede, and more towards Tang Yumo.
Kaede was still her best friend, but she never got to apologize to Tang Yumo.
Chuck had hidden Tang Yumo's "death" to spare her feelings. Now that she was confirmed alive, it was time to clarify things.
"Kaede, Kaoru, I have something to tell you. Meet me on the bench after eating."
Chuck walked out, leaving the bewildered girls.
Idol talk stopped. They finished eating quickly and ran after Chuck.
...
"Mr. Chuck, you mean Ms. Tang..."
Fifteen minutes later, under the deepening sunset, Kaoru's face was apple-red from emotion or the light, tears spinning in her eyes.
"She... jumped into the sea to commit suicide?"
"How could that be..."
Kaede paled, collapsing to the ground weakly.
Though not guilty, she cared for the teacher who looked after her. Hearing about the suicide attempt filled her with guilt.
"I didn't want to upset you, so I hid it. But now it's confirmed. She didn't die but drifted to the north and lives with survivors there."
Chuck told the truth. This relieved them slightly.
"Anyway, now you know."
"Mmh..."
"Thank you, Mr. Chuck."
Both girls thanked him tearfully.
Chuck felt pity, hugging them both, stroking their heads.
"Don't overthink. If the sea couldn't kill her, she'll live well there. And as I said, I'll deal with them. You'll meet again."
"..."
They leaned on his chest, closing their teary eyes, sorting their messy emotions in his warm embrace.
...
Two days until the meeting with Lee So-yeon passed in a blink for the sexually fulfilled and busy Chuck.
Decisive progress was made at home.
Most importantly, Janet's silkworms in the artificial cave. After long selective breeding, the latest wild silkworms produced silk ready for reeling.
Chuck concluded this after an hour of observation.
Though not perfectly white or smooth, the silk was glossy and firm, suitable for simple innerwear.
Chuck used the workbench to find and DIY-improve a basic reeling machine blueprint. A small reeling loom was created. The actual weaving process was left to the "master craftsman" behind the light orb.
Another important matter: the house expansion design assigned to Yitong.
Lacking pen and paper, Yitong drew detailed plans on Momo's phone with her finger. Doing this after dinner until being fucked to sleep by Chuck, she finished in a few days.
Consistent with Chuck's requirements but adding clever details based on feasibility and materials. Chuck, a layman, sensed the professionalism.
A two-story island villa with a terrace, leaving room for future expansion. Exactly what Chuck wanted.
The first batch of cocoons and the loom went into the workbench, becoming a five-hour light orb. The design plan was synced to the blueprint DIY system, becoming a slow percentage bar.
[Blueprint DIY complete. Optimizing expansion plan and calculating materials. Please wait...]
Tired of waiting, Chuck closed the panel.
He had something more important to do.
...
9 AM, after breakfast. Everyone went to work.
Except two.
Yitong and Janet, having completed important tasks, were generously rewarded with a morning off. Rest was only a small part of the reward.
The main part was something Chuck wanted to try for a long time...
Returning from the artificial cave, Chuck entered the bedroom. Seeing the blood-pumping scene, he nodded with satisfaction.
Yitong and Janet, both naked, lay on blankets and pillows, covered only by towels. Their smooth backs, mountainous buttocks, and fleshy legs were displayed before Chuck.
Hearing his steps, they looked up, blushing beautifully.
"Baby, ready?"
"Hubby..."
Looking at the slutty mature cows, Chuck, pants tented high, took out a small glass jar from his pocket, smiling.
"Of course."
The jar contained clear, slightly viscous oil...
Chuck uncorked it, poured some into his palm, and rubbed his hands together. Oil coated his hands; a wonderful fragrance filled the room.
Ready. Chuck stepped forward, hands pressing unceremoniously onto Yitong's soft, massive ass, kneading fiercely, eliciting a low, magnetic moan.
"Unghh~"
