My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1136 Fading

The fatigue also dissipated. They smiled at each other, as if they saw endless strength and trust in each other's eyes.

As time went by, their feelings gradually became public. Although their identities and duties prevented them from seeing each other often, whenever their eyes met, their silent gazes were filled with deep care and understanding. Whether it was the tacit cooperation at work or the mutual support in life, they found a sense of peace and warmth in this complex palace.

The test of this level not only honed their professional skills, but also made them learn to rely on each other in difficult situations. By overcoming this level of tribulation, they not only strengthened their own abilities, but also laid a solid foundation for the next challenge.

During the cooperation, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing often need to communicate and negotiate. Sometimes, they have disagreements over some minor issues, but every time Ling Xue can resolve the conflicts with her wisdom and patience, which makes Zhou Xing convinced. Zhou Xing, with his rich experience and unique insights, provides Ling Xue with many valuable suggestions. Their cooperation becomes more and more tacit, and the hotel's operation becomes smoother.

In addition to their work collaboration, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing often meet for dinner in their spare time. Under the soft lights, the two savored fine wine and delicious food, sharing each other's stories and dreams. These times not only allowed them to get to know each other better, but also made their friendship grow unknowingly.

However, fate is always full of variables. One day, the hotel suddenly encountered an unprecedented crisis - a group of important guests made serious complaints about the hotel's services. This news was like a bolt from the blue, catching Ling Xue off guard. She hurriedly called together team members to discuss countermeasures, but everyone seemed anxious and unable to come up with an effective solution.

At this time, Zhou Xing stepped forward. He used his own resources and connections to provide strong support and help to Ling Xue. Under his leadership, the team members acted quickly and took a series of decisive measures to quell the crisis. In the end, with the joint efforts of Ling Xue and Zhou Xing, the hotel successfully overcame this difficulty.

During the journey of ascending to the Haoqing Sect, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing faced 1,881 tribulations together. At the 104th level, they came to a modern urban setting, Zhou Xing transformed into a domineering CEO, and Ling Xue became his substitute, a story of sadomasochism unfolded between the two.

In a private room of a high-end restaurant, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue met officially for the first time. The lighting was soft, but the atmosphere was a little tense. Zhou Xing's eyes revealed a hint of indifference and alienation, while Ling Xue seemed a little uneasy. At the suggestion of a friend, they began to talk about that special agreement - a secret marriage.

"Are you willing to be my wife? Just in name." Zhou Xing's voice was low and firm.

Ling Xue hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently. She knew this was an opportunity that might change her fate. So the two signed the agreement and began this unusual marriage life.

Life after marriage was not what Zhou Xing had hoped for. He tried to find the shadow of Lin Wan'er in Ling Xue, but ended up disappointed every time. At a dinner party, Zhou Xing brought Ling Xue to attend, but his eyes kept lingering on other female guests. Ling Xue followed him silently, feeling aggrieved and lost.

After returning home, the two had a fierce quarrel. Zhou Xing accused Ling Xue of not being gentle and considerate enough, while Ling Xue retorted that he had lost himself in his own world. The relationship between the two reached a deadlock, and the gap between them became deeper and deeper.

When Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Hao Qing Sect ascended to heaven, they had to go through 1,881 tribulations together. In the 106th level, Ling Xue became a geological prospector, while Zhou Xing became an oil worker. The meeting of the two in this life seemed to be a clever arrangement of fate.

Senior Sister Ling Xue stood in the vast wilderness holding a high-powered telescope, concentrating on observing the soil of the distant mountains. She was wearing loose and comfortable work clothes, a safety helmet, and sturdy hiking shoes. She looked resolute and decisive. Her eyes sparkled with wisdom, and the notebook in her hand was full of notes.

"The layered structure of this black shale is really peculiar. There must be rich oil minerals hidden here." Ling Xue murmured to herself with a confident smile on her face.

At the same time, Zhou Xing was busy at a well site not far from Ling Xue. He was wearing heavy work clothes and his hands were stained with oil, but his eyes showed determination and persistence. He held the tools tightly and concentrated on the mining operation, with sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Ling Xue!" Zhou Xing inadvertently saw Ling Xue standing not far away, and waved and shouted excitedly.

Ling Xue turned around when she heard the voice and saw Zhou Xing's familiar yet unfamiliar figure. A wave of warmth suddenly surged in her heart. "Zhou Xing," she responded with a smile and walked towards him briskly.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly entered into a work communication mode. Ling Xue introduced the current geological structure to Zhou Xing in detail and pointed out several areas where oil might be found. Zhou Xing shared some of his discoveries and difficulties in the mining operation.

"The soil here is indeed suitable for further exploration, but mining is difficult and requires special care." Zhou Xing said seriously while wiping the sweat off his face.

"If we work together, we will definitely find the best solution." Ling Xue said firmly.

So, the two began to work together, and their mutual understanding gradually deepened. Whether it was detailed data analysis or difficult field surveys, they could cooperate perfectly. Whenever night fell, the two would sit together by the campfire in the camp and share their experiences and gains of the day.

"Every time I see you focusing on your work, I feel that you have made the right choice in this life." Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue's profile and said softly.

"Zhou Xing, with you by my side, I feel that all difficulties are no longer problems." Ling Xue responded with a smile, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

In the following days, they encountered various challenges. Once, a sudden rainstorm put the well site in trouble. A large amount of muddy water poured into the mining area, and the equipment was in danger of being submerged. Faced with the crisis, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing responded calmly.

"Quick, start the drainage system!" Zhou Xing ordered loudly and quickly organized the workers to carry out emergency treatment.

"I'll help test the soil structure to prevent collapse from happening again." Ling Xue quickly took out the equipment and made precise measurements.

With their close cooperation, the dangerous situation was under control. After the rain stopped and the sky cleared, the two stood side by side in the muddy mining area and smiled at each other. "We really did it." Zhou Xing held Ling Xue's hand tightly and said with emotion.

"Yes, as long as we work together, we can overcome all difficulties." Ling Xue nodded in agreement, with deep trust and appreciation in her eyes.

As time goes by, the relationship between the two people becomes deeper and deeper in the daily work. From acquaintance to understanding, every challenge they face together becomes an opportunity to enhance their relationship. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing are not only the best partners at work, but also the pillars of each other's hearts.

On a starry night, the two still sat by the campfire, talking about their future plans.

"Once we have overcome all the difficulties, what do you want to do?" Ling Xue asked softly.

"I want to continue exploring unknown areas with you, whether it is geology or life." Zhou Xing replied with a smile, his eyes gentle but firm.

"Then we have an agreement. No matter how big the challenges ahead are, we will face them together." Ling Xue held Zhou Xing's hand and made a common vow.

This journey of ascension has allowed them to find more meaning in their shared challenges. They know that no matter how many trials the future holds, they will move forward hand in hand and greet every new dawn together.

The test of the 106th level is not only a career experience, but also a spiritual practice. Through this unique experience, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing not only strengthened their professional skills, but also deeply understood the importance of teamwork and the power of interdependence. Facing the challenges in the future, they are ready because they know that as long as they have each other by their side, no difficulties can knock them down.

By chance, Zhou Xing discovered Ling Xue's true identity - she did not approach him intentionally, but was placed in this position by fate. He began to reflect on his own behavior and realized that he had treated Ling Xue unfairly. At the same time, he also discovered that Ling Xue was not just a substitute, she had her own thoughts, feelings and values.

Faced with the truth, Zhou Xing felt guilty and regretful. He decided to let go of his obsession and truly accept and love Ling Xue. He began to take the initiative to care about Ling Xue's life and feelings, and tried to make up for his past mistakes. Ling Xue also gradually let go of her guard and estrangement in Zhou Xing's changes and re-examined this marriage.

After a period of hard work and communication, the relationship between the two has improved significantly. They began to understand, support and tolerate each other, and face the challenges and difficulties in life together. However, due to the deep scars of the past, the relationship between them could never return to its original state.

In the end, they chose to break up peacefully. On a sunny afternoon, the two sat on a bench in the park and calmly talked about their future plans. Although they felt regretful and reluctant, they both knew that this was the best choice. Zhou Xing continued his business journey, while Ling Xue found her own happiness and home. Although their story ended, their lives continued to move forward.

This experience made Ling Xue look at Zhou Xing with new eyes, and she began to re-evaluate this former friend and partner. Zhou Xing also silently praised Ling Xue in his heart, and he deeply admired her tenacity and perseverance. The feelings between the two were sublimated in this crisis, and their relationship became closer.

Time flies, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing have experienced countless ups and downs together, and their careers have also achieved remarkable success. However, they did not stop there, but continued to move forward hand in hand, pursuing higher goals together.

On a sunny afternoon, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing stood on the top floor of the hotel and looked out at the scenery in the distance. Holding a cup of fragrant coffee in their hands, they enjoyed this rare quiet time. Looking back on the past, they couldn't help but smile at each other - those challenges and difficulties in the past have become the most precious wealth in their lives.

In the vast world of immortal cultivation, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing, a pair of senior and junior brothers and sisters, face an extremely difficult challenge - ascending to heaven and overcoming tribulations. They must go through 1,881 tribulation difficulties together. In the 100th level, Ling Xue transforms into the saint purple peacock of the peacock clan, a descendant of the phoenix, while Zhou Xing becomes an ancient phoenix from the battle between gods and demons that was left in the mortal world. After the original form was sealed, it became a pheasant demon.

One morning, the morning light was dim and mist covered the mountains. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing stepped into the mysterious sky secret realm together. This secret realm was full of various mythical birds and beasts. The two walked carefully through the dense forest, alertly sensing everything around them. Suddenly, a huge monster jumped out of the bushes. Ling Xue quickly turned into a purple peacock, and her tail feathers bloomed with dazzling light, repelling the monster. Zhou Xing was not to be outdone, flapping his wings and flying up, using his sharp claws to pin down the enemy on the other side.

After the battle, the two stood side by side beside the stream, washing the dust off their bodies. Zhou Xing looked up and saw Ling Xue's purple peacock feathers shining charmingly in the sun, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your tail feathers are so gorgeous." Ling Xue smiled slightly, with a bit of pride in her eyes: "This is the symbol of our peacock clan."

As the sun gradually set, the two found a secluded place to set up camp. The campfire was burning, and Ling Xue skillfully roasted the prey. The fragrant aroma filled the air. Zhou Xing was responsible for collecting medicinal materials. He picked some spiritual herbs that could enhance cultivation and handed them to Ling Xue: "These will help your cultivation." Ling Xue nodded and took it, feeling warm in her heart for Zhou Xing's attentiveness.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the treetops and sprinkled on the quaint courtyard. Zhou Xing, the young general who once bore a blood feud, now had a normal face. He was wearing a simple long gown, holding an old sword in his hand, and was quietly practicing under the plum tree. The sword was as bright as water, drawing graceful arcs in the air as he swung it.

Ling Xue, the heroic princess, is now Zhou Xing's fiancée. She is wearing a light and elegant dress, with long hair like a waterfall. She stands quietly in the distance, looking at Zhou Xing tenderly. Five years have not left too many marks on her face, but made her more mature and charming.

"Zhou Xing, good morning." Ling Xue called softly, her voice as pleasant as a clear spring.

Zhou Xing turned around when he heard the voice, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Xue'er, you are here." He walked quickly to Ling Xue, and they smiled at each other, as if all the suffering and waiting had disappeared at this moment.

In the study, the bookshelf was filled with various books on military tactics and strategies. Zhou Xing sat at the desk, frowning, holding a secret letter in his hand, as if he was thinking about some important decision. Ling Xue walked in quietly, not wanting to disturb him, but he still discovered her.

"Xue'er, you've come just in time." Zhou Xing waved his hand, motioning Ling Xue to sit next to him. "I'm thinking about how to deal with those forces in the court that oppose the new emperor. They're ready to make a move, and I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm."
