Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

An ordinary magician in the cultivation world

Mu Shiqi, who had no parents, was just an ordinary magic girl in the magic world. Although this magic girl was hunted by the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness after she picked up an ebony staff when she was 15 years old, and was ranked first on the wanted list of the black and white sides of the magic world three years later, but... Mu Shiqi had always believed that she was just an ordinary magical girl, and the pursuit was all Little Dough's fault. The ordinary ebony staff spirit ball expressed that it would not take the blame. It shook its head crazily and hid the suspicious blue bead that it had just pulled out from the corner of the Temple of Light. One man and one staff had stirred up the two major churches in the magic world. The Church Master of Light was so angry that he had to pull out his beard and the Church Master of Darkness had to turn white. Finally, he was blown up in an experiment of a new magic potion. The Church heaved a sigh of relief. The cultivation world had taken over this little witch. Let's see how a rising Phoenix Star would affect the structure of the cultivation world for ten thousand years! Crippled spirit root? It doesn't matter, I have the magic imprint; Sword control technique? I can fly on a broom; A formation genius? I'm sorry, where are you from? If you don't understand the Fanya language on the magic array, don't speak. Talisman Dao attainment? Although I didn't understand runes, I knew that every word in Fanya language contained magic power. I wondered if it could be used as runes. The above was the ebony staff spirit ball's vivid imitation of its owner's self-narration, and its owner, Mu Shiqi: I'm not, I'm not, I'm just an ordinary magical girl.
