After My Master Lost All Her Cultivation, I Awakened the Wife-Pampering System! - Chapter 18:

Chapter 18: Yin-Yang Black Dragon Pill—Ning’er, It’s Better If You Take It

Outside the cave residence, Chu Ning listened as the system continued to chime in.

[Ding! Cared for a weakened wife. Contribution Points +1,000!]
[Ding! Comforted a weakened wife. Contribution Points +1,000!]
[Ding! Accompanied a weakened wife. Contribution Points +1,000!]

He clenched the pill tightly in his hand.

The Yin-Yang Black Dragon Pill—this was the very item Jiang Qingyue intended to use to deceive Su Wanqing and win back her trust.

And now, Chen Xuantian had directly handed it over.

The Supreme Profound Sect didn’t have any 7th-grade alchemists, so they couldn’t refine this pill themselves. It must have been bought at a great cost!

It pulsed with the power of yin and yang, the aura of dragons coiling around it. Its medicinal potency was intense and frightening!

Yet any cultivator of any realm could take it, because its effects were triggered gradually as the user’s realm increased. This was precisely why Chen Xuantian valued it so much.

In life-threatening situations, it could even reverse yin and yang, turning death into life—it was unimaginably powerful!

Sure enough, the Sect was now convinced that Chu Ning possessed the legacy.

Chen Xuantian had already stepped in personally.

They were in danger. A single misstep, and they could die!

But that was fine—so long as the Sect continued to believe this, they would stay temporarily safe.

It was just… this system…

Why was every notification about a “wife”?

Chu Ning was speechless!

Damn system, this is how you’re playing it?

Fine, whatever. He was used to it by now.

Su Wanqing had sensed someone had visited earlier but didn’t know who it was—she just kept calling out for Ning’er.

Chu Ning hesitated for a moment but ignored her and immediately called upon the system.

“Can this pill restore a person whose cultivation has been crippled?”

[7th-grade pill: Yin-Yang Black Dragon Pill. Dense medicinal energy. For ordinary cultivators, it can raise their cultivation. Before the pill’s full potency is exhausted, it continues to nourish the user’s cultivation alongside their realm advancement. Grants a portion of Dragon-Mystic Qi. Especially suited for cultivators on the brink of death.]

[Bound Target: Su Wanqing. Condition: Critical. The Yin-Yang Black Dragon Pill may be used to restore damaged meridians.]

[Progress unknown. No previous data detected for similar conditions. However, the pill is better suited for life-and-death breakthroughs. Not recommended for ordinary cultivation recovery.]

Chu Ning didn’t care. If it could restore her, that was enough.

“Any hidden traps?”

[A restriction is embedded within. Once the pill is consumed, the restriction activates—rendering the user a mindless puppet.]

Chu Ning’s expression turned ice-cold.

They even planted such precautions?

The Sect truly couldn’t be trusted!

“Can the restriction be removed?”

[1,000 Contribution Points consumed. Imprint erased.]

Chu Ning smiled faintly.

Trying to play mind games with us?

We already saw through your little tricks!

Planning to use schemes?

Too bad—I’ve got a cheat!

Now, there was no longer an issue.

Chu Ning chuckled.

If Chen Xuantian knew he had a system, he’d probably collapse on the spot.

Though he’d just spent a bunch of Contribution Points… well, he could just earn it back—from his master!

Feeding her, after all, couldn’t be left to her. It was one of his rare chances to earn bonus Contribution Points!

He quickly headed to the kitchen.

The food was still warm. Chu Ning heated it further with spiritual Qi and carried the table back himself.

Inside the cave residence—

Su Wanqing was still sitting on the bed. When she saw Chu Ning return, she snapped back to awareness.

“Ning’er, I really can feed myself. But just now… who came?”

Her voice was weak, clearly not matching her usual graceful demeanor. As she spoke, she tried to get up.

But Chu Ning pressed her back down.

“Eat first. We’ll talk after that.”

Su Wanqing’s face flushed despite herself.

Now that her cultivation was gone, if her disciple were to take liberties with her, she’d have no way to resist. Still, she trusted him.

That said, was it really necessary to go this far? She could at least feed herself…

“Your body is still recovering. Let your disciple take care of you—it’s no trouble.”

Su Wanqing said no more. She nodded and smiled gently. “With you here… I feel at ease.”

Chu Ning smiled back and began feeding her porridge spoon by spoon. Her cheeks turned visibly red, but Chu Ning didn’t say a word.

Only after she had finished most of the bowl did he finally speak.

“It was Chen Xuantian.”

Su Wanqing’s eyes narrowed instantly.

Even Chen Xuantian had come!

“So, I guessed correctly. What did he say?”

Chu Ning scoffed, “Just trying to help Jiang Qingyue ‘prove her innocence.’ As if we haven’t already seen through everything.”

He took out the Yin-Yang Black Dragon Pill and brought it to Su Wanqing’s lips.

“This is the Yin-Yang Black Dragon Pill—the one Jiang Qingyue brought earlier. You were right. They really believe we possess the legacy.”

Chu Ning smiled and said, “Since it was delivered by Chen Xuantian himself, we might as well accept it. I’ve already checked—it’s safe.”

Su Wanqing recognized the pill at a glance.

It was indeed genuine.

But she shook her head.

“This pill is rumored to help with meridian recovery, but not by much. Otherwise, Chen Xuantian would’ve offered it long ago. He didn’t before because he didn’t think I could be healed even with it.”

“The Sect only values profit. They offered it now because they think we have something even more valuable.”

“Ning’er, you should take it. Right now, the two of us can only rely on you. This pill will greatly aid your cultivation.”

Chu Ning frowned.

“Master, your recovery is more urgent. Even if it can’t fully restore you, it’ll still be helpful.”

Of course Su Wanqing knew that—but she also knew someone else needed it more than she did.

She believed her disciple could go farther than she ever could—and now, he needed the power more.

But looking at Chu Ning’s serious expression, Su Wanqing knew it was useless to refuse.

She forced a smile and asked, “Ning’er, do you know that with this pill, every realm breakthrough before the 6th stage will immediately place you at the mid-stage of each realm?”

“In life-threatening moments, it could reverse fate—give you a second chance…”

Chu Ning shook his head. “But I know I’m the one reversing fate—for my Master. I won’t miss any opportunity. As for my own cultivation—I don’t need this pill.”

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Art would guide him on that path.

Seeing she couldn’t persuade him, Su Wanqing sighed, opened her mouth slowly.

Without hesitation, Chu Ning fed the pill to her, eyes filled with anticipation. “Master, how do you feel?”

Su Wanqing smiled softly and nodded. “The medicinal energy is already spreading. It’s very helpful. I can feel my meridians beginning to restore.”

But after saying that, her expression grew complicated, then slowly resolute.

Chu Ning didn’t see it—but she looked like someone who had just made a firm decision.

At that moment, Chu Ning sighed in relief and silently summoned the system to check progress.

[Bound Target: Su Wanqing]
[Realm: Peak 6th stage Clarity Comprehension (Abolished)]
[Aptitude: Supreme Heavenly Spirit Root (Divine Grade)]
[Recovery Progress: 11%]

Huh?

It was 11% before too… why hadn’t it changed? Didn’t she say it was working…

Just as he was trying to figure it out, a face suddenly moved close.

The next second, his head was pulled forward—and Chu Ning’s eyes widened in shock as he felt a pair of soft lips press against his own!

What—?!

“Master—mmph!”

With the lingering warmth of porridge still on her breath, Su Wanqing transferred the pill into his mouth. Then she slapped his throat gently, forcing him to swallow it involuntarily.

Once it was done, she finally released him, her face adorned with a gentle smile.

“Ning’er, raise your cultivation quickly. I believe your advancement is the key to restoring mine.”

Having his first kiss stolen, being force-fed a pill, and feeling overwhelming energy surge through his body all at once—

Chu Ning sat there wide-eyed, unable to utter a single word, and could only sit down cross-legged and begin digesting the medicinal force.

He had no control!

And more importantly…

Master… was too cunning!

Chu Ning didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. But before entering deep meditation, he looked at Su Wanqing again.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but her eyes were filled with tenderness and hope.

“Ning’er… this pill suits you far better than it suits me…”
