My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1165 Casserole
She was wearing a simple and elegant dress, with an exquisite tassel belt tied around her waist, and holding an ancient book in her hand, reading attentively. Her eyes were clear and bright, as if she could see through all the hypocrisy and truth in the world.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence. A maid ran over and reported to Zhou Xing: "Your Highness, there is an urgent matter in the court that needs your attention."

As time goes by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue become closer and closer. They begin to share the little things in life together and face the ups and downs of the market together. In this small town full of fireworks, their love flows slowly like a clear stream, nourishing each other's hearts.

That evening, the sky suddenly turned gloomy and a torrential rain came without warning. People in the market were unable to dodge and were soaked. Zhou Xing's pork stall was in a remote location and he could not find a place to shelter from the rain in time. He could only watch the pork get wet.

At this time, Ling Xue ran to Zhou Xing's stall in the heavy rain, holding a worn-out umbrella in her hand. She handed the umbrella to Zhou Xing, and helped him to clean up the pork to minimize the loss. Zhou Xing looked at the girl in front of him who didn't care about getting wet in order to help him, and a warm current surged in his heart.

After the rainstorm, the market was in a mess. But Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's stall seemed particularly warm. The two sat under the stall, leaning against each other for warmth. At that moment, their hearts seemed to be closer.

After this baptism of wind and rain, the relationship between the two has become deeper. They began to support and encourage each other and face the challenges of life together. Whether it is the off-season or the peak season of the market, whether it is good times or bad times, they go through it together.

In the process, they gradually discovered each other's shining points. Although Zhou Xing looks rough and bold, he is delicate and gentle in his heart; although Ling Xue looks weak and delicate, she is tenacious in her heart. Their complementary personalities always produce a wonderful chemical reaction when they are together.

As time went by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were no longer satisfied with just selling pork and fish in the market. They began to look forward to a better future and hoped to create their own business together.

On a sunny afternoon, the two sat on a bench by the river, staring at the sparkling water. Zhou Xing suddenly said, "Ling Xue, should we consider doing something else? We can't stay in this small market forever." Ling Xue nodded in agreement.

After some discussion, they decided to open a restaurant together. The restaurant's main dishes are their specialties - braised pork and steamed fish. These two dishes are already well-known in the market and are believed to be popular in the restaurant.

In order to prepare for the restaurant, the two were very busy. They ran around looking for a suitable store, decoration style, and food suppliers. Although they encountered many difficulties and setbacks in the process, they always supported each other and got through it.

Finally one day, their restaurant officially opened. The restaurant was packed with guests and very lively on the opening day. People were attracted by the unique taste and warm atmosphere of the restaurant. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were also very busy but they enjoyed it.

As the restaurant business became more and more prosperous, the lives of the two people became better and better. They not only made more money but also gained more happiness and satisfaction. More importantly, they realized their dreams through joint efforts and proved how firm and beautiful their love was.

Zhou Xing nodded and said to Ling Xue, "It seems I have to go first. We will continue the discussion next time." Ling Xue smiled and nodded in response, "Your Highness, please do as you please. I will continue to read here."

After walking around, Ling Xue put away the book and thought about the conversation in her heart. She knew that this was not just a simple discussion, but also an opportunity for her to accumulate experience and wisdom in this tribulation. She must grasp every detail and find a way to break through.

As the night deepened, the lights in the palace gradually lit up. Ling Xue returned to her room, sat in front of the window, and looked at the starry sky in the distance. Her heart was filled with expectations for the future and the courage to take on challenges.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. In the court of Yin State, civil and military officials gathered together and discussed a lot. Zhou Xing sat on the dragon chair, his eyes were like torches, scanning the crowd below. He knew that under this seemingly calm court, there were actually undercurrents, and various forces were competing secretly.

At this moment, an armored general came forward. He was Ling Xue's father, the head of the general's mansion. He saluted Zhou Xing and said, "Your Highness, I have something important to report."

Zhou Xing nodded, motioning him to continue. The general's family master said in a deep voice: "In recent days, news has come from the border that neighboring countries intend to invade our territory. I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give instructions on how to deal with it."

Zhou Xing frowned after hearing this. He knew very well that this was a crisis concerning the survival of the country and must be handled with caution. He turned to look at Ling Xue standing beside him and asked, "What do you think of this, Miss Ling?"

Ling Xue smiled slightly, with wisdom gleaming in her eyes. She said, "Your Highness, the reason why the neighboring country dared to do this is simply because they saw the instability in our country and saw an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, we must stabilize the domestic situation first, and then plan external strategies."

After hearing this, Zhou Xing agreed with Ling Xue's suggestion. He decided to adopt Ling Xue's suggestion and solve domestic problems first before dealing with external threats. So he ordered to strengthen border defenses, rectify the government, and eliminate dissident forces.

However, while Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were busy dealing with crises at home and abroad, a bigger conspiracy was quietly brewing. It turned out that someone was dissatisfied with Zhou Xing's position as the crown prince and attempted to launch a coup to seize the throne. They secretly colluded with the forces of neighboring countries and prepared to launch an attack at a critical moment.

After learning the news, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue both felt unprecedented pressure. They knew that this struggle was not only a contest of power, but also a test of life and death. In order to protect the peace of the country and the happiness of the people, they must work together to fight the enemy.

In the following days, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue began intensive and orderly preparations. On the one hand, they strengthened intelligence collection and analysis to grasp the enemy's movements; on the other hand, they actively mobilized troops and resources to prepare for battle.

At the same time, they did not forget to use their wisdom and courage to resolve various conflicts and difficulties. Through clever strategies and decisive actions, they won the support and trust of more and more people. Under their leadership, the whole country of Yin was united to resist the threats of foreign enemies and internal strife.

Finally, the decisive moment arrived. The neighboring army invaded the border of Yin State, and the rebels in the country also launched a coup. For a time, the whole Yin State fell into chaos. However, facing such a severe situation, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue had no intention of retreating. They led their army and loyal subordinates to fight bravely and defend the country's territory and dignity.

After a fierce battle, the Yin army successfully repelled the invaders from the neighboring country and suppressed the rebellious forces at home. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue won this victory with their wisdom and courage and also won the respect and love of the people of the whole country.

After the war, Zhou Xing ascended the throne and became the emperor of Yin, and Ling Xue was also canonized as the queen. They governed the country together and made Yin more prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

However, just when everything seemed to be calm, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue suddenly realized that the world they were in was not the real world but a difficult hurdle in their ascension process. They began to look for a way to return to the real world in the hope of ending this long adventure.

After some efforts, they finally found a way to return to the real world. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in the cultivation place of Haoqing Sect, with their master and fellow disciples standing in front of them.

Despite all the twists and turns and hardships, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue did not give up their pursuit of cultivation and exploration of the truth. They knew that only by constantly improving their strength could they better protect themselves and the people around them from harm.

So they restarted their cultivation and constantly challenged themselves to surpass their limits. In the process, they encountered more difficulties and challenges, but they overcame them one by one and finally became the best in the Haoqing Sect and were respected and admired by everyone.

The story about the Yin Kingdom has become a beautiful memory in their hearts and will always remain in their hearts. Whenever they think back to that time, they will be filled with emotion and cherish everything they have now.

What shocked her even more was that she was wearing a black maid outfit with a gold cross necklace on her chest, which symbolized her current identity - Zhou Xing's maid. Although she couldn't believe it, she knew that this was part of the tribulation and she had to face it head-on.

At the border of Southern Liang, the sky was as dark as ink, the stars were sparse, and the wind in the wilderness was a little chilly. Zhou Xing stood on a high platform, with a large flag with the word "Liang" fluttering in the wind behind him. He was wearing armor and looking into the distance with a firm gaze. As a general of Southern Liang, he commanded a large army and shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the territory.

"Report..." A scout came galloping over, dismounted, and knelt on one knee, "General, we have spotted a mysterious army ahead. They have an unknown flag, a large number of people, and their whereabouts are mysterious!"

One night, when the whole town was immersed in sleep, a sudden fire broke the tranquility of the night. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half of the sky and waking up the people who were sleeping. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were awakened by the noise and quickly ran out of the house to check the situation - it turned out that the market was on fire!

Without any hesitation, Zhou Xing picked up the fire extinguisher at home and rushed to the scene. While running, he shouted loudly to the people around him to help put out the fire, "Hurry up and put out the fire! Everyone come and help!" His voice echoed in the night sky, attracting more people's attention and joining in the fire-fighting operation.

At the same time, Ling Xue was not idle either. She quickly organized the nearby residents to evacuate to a safe area and calmed the emotions of those frightened people. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Everyone calm down and follow me..." She used gentle and firm words to give everyone strength and courage.

After everyone worked together, the fire was finally put out. Although the market suffered some losses, fortunately no casualties occurred. Afterwards, everyone expressed admiration for the brave young couple and praised them as heroes!

This incident not only deepened the relationship between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, but also made them good role models praised by everyone in the town! From now on, no matter what difficulties or challenges they encounter in life, they will feel extremely safe and warm as long as they think of each other!

After the fire, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue became closer. They began to plan their future life and hoped to create a better tomorrow together! First, they decided to expand their business scale and no longer be limited to the sale of meat or fish, but to add more varieties to meet the needs of different customers; secondly, they also planned to open a small restaurant specializing in seafood dishes to attract more diners to taste; finally, they hoped to improve their family's living conditions through their own efforts so that their parents can live a more comfortable life in their later years!

In order to achieve these goals, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue worked from dawn to dusk every day. Although it was very hard, they were full of motivation and passion when they thought of the beautiful future! They supported and encouraged each other and were able to overcome difficulties together no matter what difficulties they encountered! This spirit of never giving up infected everyone around them and became a beautiful landscape in the town!
Zhou Xing frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. He waved his hand to signal the scouts to stand up and said, "Continue to investigate. Be sure to find out where the other party came from and their intentions!"

At the same time, in the magnificent imperial study room in the Southern Liang Palace, Ling Xue was wearing a dragon robe. Although she looked childish, her eyes were shining with wisdom that did not match her age. She sat on the dragon throne, playing with a jade ruyi in her hand, and seemed to be thinking about some important decision.

"Your Majesty, General Zhou has an urgent report that there are unusual movements on the border and we need to respond as soon as possible." Eunuch Li reported carefully.

Ling Xue raised her eyebrows slightly, with a sharp look in her eyes. "Pass the order down, closely monitor the dynamics of the border, and strengthen the defense of the capital at the same time. Don't let the enemy take advantage of the opportunity."

Just as Ling Xue finished her arrangements, she looked out the window involuntarily, feeling that there seemed to be a bigger conspiracy behind the unusual movement at the border. In the distant frontier, a pretty woman in men's clothing was quietly approaching the military camp. She was Ling Xue's trusted maid, Xiao Guizi, who was ordered to come here to secretly protect Zhou Xing and monitor his every move.

As night fell, fires lit up the camp. Zhou Xing stood in front of a map, discussing countermeasures with his generals. Xiao Guizi mingled in the army, silently observing all this. She noticed that Zhou Xing acted decisively, commanded in an orderly manner, and cared deeply for the soldiers, and she couldn't help but nod in her heart.

However, at this moment, a strange atmosphere suddenly enveloped the camp. Several men in black quietly sneaked in, aiming directly at Zhou Xing's tent. Xiao Guizi was sharp-eyed and noticed something was wrong. He immediately flew out and blocked Zhou Xing.

"Who is it?" Xiao Guizi drew his sword and pointed it at him, his voice cold.
