After My Master Lost All Her Cultivation, I Awakened the Wife-Pampering System! - Chapter 29:

Chapter 29: Once You Have Impure Thoughts, You’re No Longer a Disciple

Chu Ning was a little pissed off.

He’d been played…

But he wasn’t too upset.

After all, Su Wanqing might escape as a monk, but she couldn’t escape the temple.

She gave her word—if he won, he’d have a chance!

So just say it: did he win or not?

Still, his butt was killing him. Ridiculous…

No big deal. With the Eternal Spring Undying Technique, surface injuries weren’t a problem. Chu Ning soon returned to his own Cave Residence.

This Cave Residence also had functions that shielded against prying eyes, so there was no need to worry about being spied on.

“System, check Contribution Point balance!”

[Contribution Point Balance:]

210,000!

He’d earned a million just by helping his master recover her cultivation—never mind the rest.

With so many Contribution Points, they would definitely come in handy.

But Chu Ning wasn’t a fool. Just because he had them didn’t mean he had to spend them all at once. His current techniques were already top-notch.

Level 4 Eternal Spring Undying Technique, Level 4 Dragon-Elephant Suppression Force, Level 4 Boundless Sword Manual—he understood the danger of biting off more than he could chew.

After his spar with Su Wanqing, he realized what he lacked.

If he really faced someone with rich combat experience, he’d stand no chance.

And that was with her using a bamboo stick just to teach him a lesson…

If she’d been serious, he would’ve ended up a bloody mess—and still probably lost.

For combat experience, he’d just spar with Su Wanqing whenever there was time.

With that in mind, Chu Ning didn’t hesitate.

“Find me some techniques or pills that can conceal my cultivation.”

[System is searching, please wait…]

3rd stage cultivation was already frightening. He didn’t want the rest of the sect to catch wind of his rising strength. As far as they needed to know, 3rd stage was it.

4th stage was within reach. One realm a day—that pace wasn’t even slow.

But that level should remain his trump card. Best if no one knew.

[Recommended: Heaven Concealment Pill. Can hide cultivation below the 7th stage Saint Realm. Only cultivators at the absolute peak of this era can accurately gauge the host’s cultivation.]

[Price: 100 Contribution Points.]

That was cheap.

So cheap, it probably wasn’t very effective.

Chu Ning bought two without a second thought.

Now was the time to cultivate—to push his level to the peak of the 3rd stage!

After swallowing the pill, his cultivation was masked. Chu Ning immediately brought out resources and began devouring them like a madman.

Then he continued practicing Eternal Spring Undying Technique to repair the backlash caused by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art.

There’s always a price to power—but if I can solve the drawbacks, then I’ll truly be worthy of the title Prodigy!

First, cultivate. Later, go find Master to learn sword riding.

Meanwhile, next door in her Cave Residence, Su Wanqing wasn’t in the mood to cultivate.

She was a little… frustrated.

Why did every disciple she raised turn out to be a little monster?

Maybe there really was something wrong with the way she taught…

She smiled bitterly, her heart full of complicated emotions.

Jiang Qingyue, Ye Miaoyin… those types were just walking liabilities. She wanted to kill them just from looking, but she couldn’t—killing them would have serious consequences.

At least, not until her cultivation fully returned.

Their current limitations were the main reason they were preparing to leave. They didn’t want to be constrained anymore.

As for Chu Ning, she didn’t have much to say. He was cautious, stubborn, and not the quickest thinker.

But a man didn’t need to be too delicate. As long as he could distinguish right from wrong, that was enough.

Still, he was her disciple—so why did he look at her like she was a woman?

By logic, that shouldn’t be happening…

It left her flustered. She wanted to cut him down but couldn’t bear to!

Sigh. What was she supposed to do with this situation?

At least she wasn’t disgusted by the thought. It was just… every time something like that came up, her heart beat way too fast.

After resting for a bit, she decided it was time to go out and make lunch.

And just as she stepped out, Chu Ning noticed.

He leapt out right away, face full of smiles.

“Master!”

Told you—you might run as a monk, but you can’t escape the temple!

Su Wanqing glanced at him and calmly said, “At times like this, someone might be watching. Don’t push it. After we eat, I’ll teach you sword riding.”

Chu Ning understood and didn’t dare get too bold.

Peak 3rd stage!

He beamed and followed her. Su Wanqing had already picked up the spatula.

What, he didn’t get the hint? Still daring to get closer?

But Chu Ning simply took out a pill and offered it to her.

“For concealing your cultivation.”

Su Wanqing’s eyes sharpened.

He even had this?

“I recall there wasn’t any concealment pill in that storage ring.”

“Don’t worry about it. Just a little stroke of luck, Master. Go ahead, take it.”

Hearing that, Su Wanqing came back to her senses and accepted the pill—there was no way she’d let him feed her.

Still, as she took it, she couldn’t resist teasing him, “You sure it’s for concealment? You didn’t put anything weird in it?”

Chu Ning grinned, “I added a bit of exotic aphrodisiac in it. You’ll feel it soon, Master.”

Su Wanqing obviously didn’t believe him. She just gave him a glare and swallowed the pill.

The medicinal energy spread, and in Chu Ning’s vision, her cultivation completely vanished—no trace left.

“Ning’er, how is it?”

“Perfect. Even the Sect Master wouldn’t be able to tell your realm now.”

The woman nodded with satisfaction. “Then that’s good. Consider it another trump card.”

“You’ll teach me sword riding afterward?”

“With your current cultivation, it’s not a problem. But when we spar again, keep in mind—you’re still far from being able to control your full power. Understand?”

Chu Ning leaned in with a smile, “That’s exactly what I wanted to talk about. Say, Master, want me to help you cook?”

“You know how?”

“I can chop vegetables…”

He definitely wasn’t going to pass up a chance to be alone with her!

Su Wanqing didn’t refuse, though she could already guess he was up to no good.

Still, she pointed to the ingredients not far away. “Know how to prep these?”

Chu Ning nodded firmly, “Got it!”

In the distance, someone was still watching.

Many spots were hidden, but their actions were clearly visible now.

“Why do I feel like those two act like husband and wife?”

“Isn’t it normal for a master and disciple to be close? And anyway, Su Wanqing might’ve lost her cultivation, but not just anyone would dare approach her. Maybe they’re just a bit too intimate. Besides, she raised that boy since he was young—how could there be anything improper?”

“Yeah, true. Keep watching. When the time’s right, we’ll notify the Elders…”

As the sun climbed to its peak, heat beamed down from above.

In the kitchen, Chu Ning crouched by the side, not daring to disturb Su Wanqing while she cooked.

He could chop vegetables—but not cook. All he knew was how to eat…

Su Wanqing focused intently, busy at work.

Chu Ning stared directly at her, not even trying to hide it.

Now that she knew his intentions, why bother hiding them?

Wouldn’t that seem fake?

So he looked openly!

His spiritual perception and divine sense were strong now.

Even from a few meters away, he could clearly see the sweat forming on Su Wanqing’s neck.

The sweat itself wasn’t the issue…

The issue was… those beads of sweat rolled down her neck and slipped right into the curve of her chest…

Chu Ning, already captivated by her beauty, found his gaze locked there.

He stared as the droplet moved from four centimeters, to three… and just as it was about to fall in—

A hand wiped it away.

Chu Ning sighed in disappointment!

That feeling—like working your whole life only to fall short by one step!

Sigh!

Su Wanqing’s face looked troubled. It was too hot.

She hadn’t realized how annoying it was to be without cultivation…

Without it, she couldn’t shield herself from the elements.

Cooking left her sticky with sweat… Wait?

She suddenly felt something, and turned her head sharply.

Her disciple was staring right at her!

Su Wanqing froze, her cheeks flushing red. Her fists clenched.

“Does it look good?!”

Chu Ning paused and replied honestly, “Yes.”

A spatula came flying at his head!

“Lunch is ready. Go serve it!”

Chu Ning scrambled to his feet and helped without delay—though he still couldn’t help swallowing hard.

His mouth had gone dry.

Fairy-like women shouldn’t have sweat. They were supposed to be flawless.

But the way Su Wanqing looked right now, sweat and all, with her sleeves rolled up cooking… it gave her a kind of warm, wifely charm.

Very alluring…

It felt like every version of Su Wanqing had its own unique beauty.

This must be the charm of a refined, mature master.

Ordinary on the surface—but too dangerous to think about deeply.

The more he thought, the more restless he became!

Annoyed by his burning gaze, Su Wanqing kicked him—twice!

What kind of disciple had she raised?!

“Get rid of those wicked thoughts. I’ll teach you sword riding later. Try anything funny and I’ll chop you up!”

“Would you really, Master?”

“If you were still my disciple, of course not. But are you still?”

“When I don’t have impure thoughts, I’m your disciple. When I do… maybe not.”

Su Wanqing, “?”

You’re really drawing clear distinctions now?
