Why do I have so many masters?

Jianghu was in turmoil, an era of great strife. The leader of Great Qin wielded the Mo Blade, leaving the world battered and bruised. The ageless figures of Jianghu crouched upon the mountains, and with a single turn, they cast the entire world below them. Strong men measured the earth with their feet, and heroes of Jianghu could cleave the heavens with one sword, yet in the blink of an eye, they were drunk in the embrace of beauties. The Taoist carried his sword, the Scholar drunk on wine. Wearing tattered clothes, a beggar grasped a rotten branch and dared to storm the ancestral hall of the Taoist Sect. On the willow-lined causeway, in the long pavilion, a man who had sat withered for thirty years turned and stepped out, holding a peach blossom, with a flick of his wrist, he shattered ten miles of red candles. The era of Great Qin was renamed the Great Yuan Era. The youth with the Wooden Sword left his mountain village behind. (Solo female lead)

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?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped.

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques. Short story writers may define their works as part of the artistic and personal expression of the form. They may also attempt to resist categorization by genre and fixed formation. Short stories have deep roots and the power of short fiction has been recognised in modern society for hundreds of years. The short form is, conceivably, more natural to us than longer forms. We are drawn to short stories as the well-told story, and as William Boyd, the award-winning British author and short story writer has said: "[short stories] seem to answer something very deep in our nature as if, for the duration of its telling, something special has been created, some essence of our experience extrapolated, some temporary sense has been made of our common, turbulent journey towards the grave and oblivion".[2] In terms of length, word count is typically anywhere from 1,000 to 4,000 for short stories, however some have 20,000 words and are still classed as short stories. Stories of fewer than 1,000 words are sometimes referred to as "short short stories", or "flash fiction".[3]

His soul power increased after being treated? Ning Rongrong was addicted

Wang Hai, a healing-type soul master, would trigger special effects when using healing soul skills on patients, including but not limited to increasing the opponent's soul power level, body strength, soul ring age, and even evolving the opponent's martial soul! After the special effect was triggered, Wang Hai would enjoy ten times the reward! Thus, several years later, Wang Hai's "Master" name resounded throughout the Spirit Master world, and he opened the "Security Hall". Countless Spirit Masters came to seek treatment, just to enjoy the powerful effects. No one dared to cause trouble because the first person who dared to cause trouble was called Tang Hao. The grass on his grave was already ten meters tall. Those who had been treated by Wang Hai were all top experts on the continent. After Liu Erlong was healed, her spirit evolved into Thunder Flame Dragon, her killing intent dispelled, the knot in her heart untied, and she personally killed the coward Yu Xiao Gang, becoming the first guardian of the Security Hall. Ning Rongrong, the first to take Wang Hai as her master, under her addiction to healing, had long ago strengthened her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the point where it was indestructible, even killing a god. However, there were always people who couldn't figure it out. On this day, Tang San came to visit. "Your soul power is thick and pure, your body is strong, and your spiritual power far surpasses your peers. There's nothing wrong with you. You don't need treatment." Wang Hai casually diagnosed. "I'm here to avenge my father!" Tang San said hatefully. "Revenge? Tsk tsk, Rongrong, someone's looking for trouble, you deal with it." Wang Hai was too lazy to act, ordering Ning Rongrong around. "Senior Sister, don't! Let me do it!" As soon as he finished speaking, a long leg kicked out, and Tang San flew backwards, his bones and tendons completely shattered. Xiao Wu retracted her leg and looked at Wang Hai with dissatisfaction: This kind of little trash, what need is there to call Rongrong Shijie?"
