My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1174 Once
Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing with a smile, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

"Thank you for your trust and help, General." Ling Xue said.

"It is your wisdom and courage that lead us to find the truth." Zhou Xing responded respectfully.

The two smiled at each other, knowing that this storm not only made them see each other's true heart, but also gave the entire dynasty hope. The road ahead might still be difficult, but as long as they work together, they will surely usher in a brighter tomorrow.

After a hard struggle, they finally found solid evidence and brought the conspirator to justice. The situation in Yin State gradually stabilized, and the people lived a peaceful life again.

After going through all kinds of hardships, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's relationship has become deeper. They support and understand each other and face the challenges of life together. However, they also know that this relationship is not easy to maintain - they are two people in different time and space, with their own missions and responsibilities.

In order to be together forever, they decided to find a way to let Ling Xue return to the modern world, and then find a way to let Zhou Xing go there as well. After some efforts, they finally found an ancient teleportation array - it is said that this teleportation array can connect different time and space.

In the ancient empire, Zhou Xing was a well-known regent who held great power and his words were law. His mansion was located in the center of the prosperous capital, magnificent and splendid, with a constant stream of traffic and guests in front of the door. However, a sudden illness paralyzed him in bed, and his power and status seemed to have left him overnight.

Just when Zhou Xing was at his most vulnerable, Ling Xue, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, proposed to break off the engagement. Her voice was cold and resolute: "I don't want to be with a useless person." These words were like sharp arrows, deeply hurting Zhou Xing's heart. He lay on the gorgeous bed, looking at the tent ceiling embroidered with golden phoenixes, his heart filled with endless humiliation and anger.

Zhou Xing's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he vowed to make those who betrayed and laughed at him pay the price. During the long recovery period, he secretly planned and waited for the opportunity to return to the pinnacle of power. He knew that only by standing at the top could he wash away the pain he had experienced.

As time passed, Zhou Xing's legs gradually regained strength, and his mind became more and more profound. In his secret room, the dim candlelight reflected his firm and cold face. On the wall hung a series of exquisite strategic maps, and every line and every mark revealed his ambition and strategy.

He began to secretly contact old allies, using money and promises to win over new supporters. In secret meetings late at night, Zhou Xing's words were full of temptation: "Join my team now, and we will share wealth and honor in the future." His words were sharp, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable belief.

At the same time, he also sent his confidants to collect intelligence about Ling Xue and her family. He did not let go of any gossip, to ensure that he would not leave any hidden dangers on the road to revenge. By chance, he learned a secret about Ling Xue, which gave him hope of bringing her down.

In the dead of night, Zhou Xing often meditates alone in his study. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and every tap seemed to be calculating the rhythm of revenge. He knew that his plan needed to be cautious and quick, because time would not wait for anyone, and his opponent would not sit still and wait for death.

Finally, Zhou Xing's patience and preparation reached a peak. On a stormy night, he launched a carefully planned coup. Thunder rumbled, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. His soldiers moved silently through the night, appearing in the enemy's sight like ghosts.

Ling Xue's father, the Minister of Rites who had always looked down on Zhou Xing, was arrested in the chaos. Zhou Xing stood in front of him, his eyes as cold as ice: "You once said that I was just a useless person, but now it seems that who is the real useless person?" The Minister's face was pale, his lips trembled, but he could not make a sound.

With the success of the coup, Zhou Xing once again took control of the government. His methods became more ruthless and he treated his enemies mercilessly. Under his rule, the empire seemed to have returned to its former order, but there was an unspeakable depression and fear in the air.

However, at the pinnacle of power, Zhou Xing was not satisfied. He knew that the real opponent had not yet appeared. He turned his eyes to the woman who had abandoned him - Ling Xue. He wanted her to pay the price for her actions, and also let her know that he, Zhou Xing, was not so easily defeated.

Zhou Xing stood on the high balcony of the palace, looking out over the courtyard below. The flowers in the garden bloomed in the moonlight, their fragrance refreshing, but his heart felt as cold as if covered by frost. His thoughts drifted back to the days he spent with Ling Xue, the sweetness of those days now turned into bitter memories.

He ordered Ling Xue to be summoned to the palace. When the two met again, the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Ling Xue was still beautiful, but her eyes no longer had the tenderness and dependence of the past. Instead, they were replaced by a kind of firmness and calmness. Facing Zhou Xing, she had no fear at all, but just said lightly: "Are you here to take revenge on me?"

Zhou Xing sneered and approached her, his voice low and threatening: "Do you think you can escape? I want you to pay for everything you have done." Ling Xue was unmoved. Her answer was beyond Zhou Xing's expectation: "I have never regretted my choice. If you want to kill me, then do it."

At this moment, Zhou Xing realized that Ling Xue was not as weak and vulnerable as he had imagined. Her strength and courage made him feel an unprecedented sense of frustration. He thought he could easily destroy her, but he did not expect that she would face death so calmly. Zhou Xing's heart was filled with complex emotions, including anger, admiration, and even a hint of respect that he was unwilling to admit.

In the days that followed, Zhou Xing found that he could not forget Ling Xue's determined eyes and her fearless attitude. Whenever it was late at night, her words would always echo in his ears: "I have never regretted my choice." These words were like a sharp knife, constantly cutting his heart.

He began to reflect on his behavior. Did he really do something wrong? Is it really worth sacrificing everything for revenge? After countless sleepless nights, Zhou Xing finally understood that true strength does not come from external control and oppression, but from inner peace and tolerance.

One morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone through the window onto his desk, Zhou Xing made a decision. He ordered the release of all those imprisoned in connection with the coup, including Ling Xue's father. He also went to see Ling Xue in person to apologize and ask for forgiveness: "I once lost myself, and now I hope you can give me a chance to make up for my past mistakes."

Ling Xue looked at the once ruthless man in front of her, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. She saw the sincerity and change in his eyes, and the ice in her heart began to melt. The misunderstanding and hatred between the two slowly resolved, and they found a new starting point in mutual understanding and respect. Zhou Xing was no longer the regent who only knew revenge, but a person who was willing to change himself for love.

On the day of separation, Zhou Xing hugged Ling Xue tightly, his eyes full of reluctance and determination. He said: "No matter which world or time we are in, I will find you." Ling Xue also nodded with tears in her eyes and responded: "I will wait for you, we will definitely meet again." As the light of the teleportation array flickered, Ling Xue's figure gradually disappeared into the air. Zhou Xing stood there, following the light with his eyes until it completely disappeared. He knew that their journey had just begun - no matter how many difficulties and challenges there were in the future, they would move forward hand in hand and never give up.

After a long wait and hard work, Zhou Xing finally found the passage to the modern world. When he appeared in front of Ling Xue again, they were no longer the prince and the general's daughter of that time and space, but two ordinary young people.

They hugged each other, feeling each other's warmth and breath. Zhou Xing whispered, "I finally found you." Ling Xue raised her head and looked into his eyes and said, "I've been waiting for you."

From then on, they lived an ordinary and happy life. They worked together, traveled, tasted delicious food, and enjoyed the good times of life. Although they came from different time, space and cultural backgrounds, their hearts were closely connected and inseparable.

Their love transcends the boundaries of time and space and becomes an eternal legend that is passed down by future generations. They also prove that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges are, as long as there is love in the heart, one can overcome everything and create a happy life of one's own.

One day, a distinguished guest came to the Marquis's Mansion. They were Ling Xue's long-lost relatives. They recognized Ling Xue's true identity and took her back to the palace. Before leaving, Ling Xue said to Junior Brother Zhou Xing: "Junior Brother, although I am a real princess, I will never forget the days we spent in the Marquis' Mansion. You must take good care of yourself. I will pray for you in the palace."

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. He was happy that Ling Xue had found her family, but he also felt helpless about the gap in status between him and Ling Xue.

As time went by, Zhou Xing's physical condition gradually improved, and with his talent and hard work, he finally stood out in the imperial examination and became an official. He used his power and status to start looking for Ling Xue's whereabouts.

After some twists and turns, Zhou Xing finally found the palace where Ling Xue was. He saw Ling Xue wearing gorgeous clothes, and her face was even more beautiful. The two smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the days in the Marquis' Mansion.

Ling Xue held Zhou Xing's hand and said excitedly: "Junior brother, you finally found me! You know what? I have been thinking about you and worried about your health."

Zhou Xing hugged Ling Xue tightly, tears glistening in his eyes: "Senior Sister, I finally found you! No matter where we are, I will always be by your side."

In order to achieve the state of ascension, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Haoqing Sect embarked on the arduous road of overcoming tribulations hand in hand. They are about to face 1,881 tribulations together, and they are both excited and uneasy.

At the 111th level, the scene suddenly changed, Zhou Xing became a noble vampire count, and Ling Xue became his maid. The whole environment was full of classical and mysterious atmosphere, as if you were in a Gothic novel.

As night fell, the moonlight shone through the curtains onto the wooden floor of the castle, making it look dark and beautiful. Ling Xue, wearing an exquisite maid outfit, held a plate of blood-red wine in her hand and carefully handed it to Zhou Xing, who was sitting on a high chair. Zhou Xing, wearing a black robe, had a cold and majestic look in his eyes. He gently took the wine glass, stroked Ling Xue's chin with his fingertips, and smiled slightly: "You performed well, Ling Xue."

Deep in the palace of the Yin Kingdom, Prince Zhou Xing sat quietly in his study, gazing deeply at the ancient book in his hand. There was a trace of vicissitudes on his face, as if he had experienced endless years of baptism. However, at this moment, his heart was full of expectations and determination for the future.

"I want to start all over again with everything from my previous life." Zhou Xing whispered to himself, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, Ling Xue, who was far away in the General's Mansion, was standing in front of the window, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance. Her eyes revealed a trace of confusion and uneasiness, as if she was not familiar with this world. However, her heart was full of curiosity and desire to explore.

"Is this the ancient times?" Ling Xue said to herself, gently stroking the window frame, feeling the breath of this era.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. A maid ran over and reported to Ling Xue: "Miss, the master asked you to go to the front hall, saying that a distinguished guest is coming to visit."

Ling Xue nodded, and then followed the maid to the front hall. She saw a man with extraordinary bearing standing there. He was Prince Zhou Xing. The two looked at each other, as if there was an invisible force that tightly connected them.

"Are you Ling Xue, the daughter of the general?" Zhou Xing asked with a smile, his voice gentle and kind.

In the hazy moonlight, the capital city has towering palace walls and dragons and phoenixes intertwined on the screen wall, demonstrating the supremacy of imperial power. In this magnificent palace, Zhou Xing sat on a sandalwood carved chair, wearing a black python robe that set off his stern face. His eyes were like ice, sweeping across the ministers kneeling in the palace, and every look revealed unquestionable majesty. Since the accident that paralyzed his legs, he has controlled the government with an iron fist and has become a feared regent.

However, behind the pinnacle of power, Zhou Xing's heart hides an unhealable crack. It was the betrayal from the woman he once loved deeply - Ling Xue. Ling Xue, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, has been famous for her peerless beauty and talent since she was a child. Her eyes are as clear as autumn water, and every blink of her eyes can set off a magnificent emotional storm.

The two should have been a match made in heaven, but at Zhou Xing's most vulnerable moment, Ling Xue chose to break off the engagement due to a sudden illness and the rumors that followed. At that moment, Zhou Xing's heart was completely cold. He didn't understand why she would turn away so heartlessly when he needed support the most.

Since then, a seed of revenge has been planted in Zhou Xing's heart. He vowed to make those who betrayed him pay the price, especially Ling Xue. He wanted to make her understand that the tenderness in the past was only a flash in the pan, and now he is the regent that no one can shake.
