My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1308 Lost

She supported herself with her love for life and deep affection for Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing silently gave everything behind her. He took care of Ling Xue's daily life, encouraged her to face the treatment positively, and at the same time ensured the normal operation of the company.

During the treatment, Ling Xue's body became weaker and weaker, but her faith in her heart never wavered. She often leaned on Zhou Xing's arms, recalling every detail of their journey: "Zhou Xing, I still remember the first time we met on that construction site. You were so simple and charming at that time. We have experienced so many ups and downs together to get to where we are today. I am very lucky to have you in my life."

Zhou Xing hugged Ling Xue tightly, his eyes blurred with tears: "Ling Xue, don't be afraid. We will defeat the disease together, and you must get better. We still have many wonderful things to do and many dreams to realize."

However, life is sometimes cruel. Despite all their efforts, Ling Xue's condition gradually worsened. On a quiet night, Ling Xue gently closed her eyes and left this world forever. Zhou Xing's heart seemed to be hollowed out, and he felt that his soul had gone with it.

In the distant ancient times, there were many mysterious legends in the martial arts world, and illusion was regarded as a supernatural existence. Zhou Xing, a young and talented illusionist, was famous in the martial arts world for his superb skills and mysterious temperament. He was dressed in a black robe, with a cold and handsome face, and his eyes revealed a deep wisdom and endless mystery.

One day, Zhou Xing traveled to a border town in Ling State. The town was prosperous and bustling, with merchants from all over the world gathering and various performances. Zhou Xing strolled on the bustling streets, enjoying the atmosphere of fireworks in this world. Suddenly, a loud noise attracted his attention. It turned out that a group of street performers were performing acrobatics on the street, surrounded by spectators, and cheers were heard one after another.

Zhou Xing had no intention of staying, but when his eyes inadvertently swept through the crowd, he was deeply attracted by a woman. The woman was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, with a beautiful face and elegant temperament, like a fairy descending to the earth. She stood in the crowd, her eyes revealing a kind of curiosity and surprise, and she was watching the performance attentively. At that moment, Zhou Xing's heart seemed to be gently touched, and he walked towards the woman involuntarily.

"Girl, do you like this acrobatics?" Zhou Xing asked softly, his voice low and magnetic.

Ling Xue was slightly startled, and turned to look at Zhou Xing, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that this cold man in front of her would take the initiative to talk to her. She nodded slightly and smiled, "It's very exciting, thank you for the compliment, sir."

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue's smile, and his heart was moved. He suddenly found that he had developed an inexplicable affection for this woman. The two of them started chatting in the crowd, talking about acrobatics, the martial arts world, poetry and life, and they both felt an unprecedented tacit understanding.

As time went by, the sun gradually set and the performance was coming to an end. The crowd gradually dispersed, and the maid beside Ling Xue came forward and gently reminded her that it was time to return to the palace. Ling Xue frowned slightly, feeling reluctant, but she knew the rules of the palace and could not stay outside for long.

"Sir, it is fate that we meet today. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will meet again." Before Ling Xue turned and left, she left a gentle word, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue's receding back, his heart filled with melancholy. He didn't know the identity of this woman, but he felt that she was different and had a unique temperament that deeply attracted him.

After returning to his residence, Zhou Xing could not get rid of Ling Xue's figure in his mind. He decided to inquire about the news of this woman to see if he could have a chance to meet her again. After some inquiries, Zhou Xing learned that the woman was actually the eldest princess of Ling State - Ling Xue.

Ling State is a country with a long history and strong power. As the eldest princess, Ling Xue is very favored and has an extremely noble status. Zhou Xing knows that there is a huge gap between him and her, but he can't suppress the feelings in his heart. He decides to get close to Ling Xue again in his own way.

Not long after, Ling State held a grand court banquet, inviting envoys from all parties and martial arts masters to attend. Zhou Xing was also invited because of his reputation in the martial arts world. He knew that this was a rare opportunity to see Ling Xue again.

On the night of the banquet, the palace of Ling State was brightly lit and magnificent. Zhou Xing, wearing an exquisite robe, walked into the palace. There was singing and dancing in the palace, and the atmosphere was very warm. Zhou Xing looked for Ling Xue in the crowd and finally saw her in a corner.

Ling Xue was wearing a gorgeous dress, like the brightest star in the night sky. Her eyes revealed a noble and elegant temperament that made people dare not look directly at her. Zhou Xing took a deep breath and slowly walked towards her.

"Ms. Lingxue, we meet again." Zhou Xing said softly, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

When Ling Xue saw Zhou Xing, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Zhou Xing to appear here, and her heart was filled with excitement and joy.

"Mr. Zhou Xing, I didn't expect to see you here." Ling Xue said with a smile, a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

The two chatted in a corner, as if they were the only two people in the world. They talked about their recent situation and shared each other's joys and sorrows. In this bustling palace banquet, their hearts found a moment of peace and comfort.

As time went by, the feelings between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue grew deeper and deeper. They often met in the palace garden, walking and chatting together, enjoying this wonderful time.

However, their relationship was not smooth sailing. As a large country, Ling State had strict rules for the marriage of royal family members. Ling Xue's status was extremely noble, and her marriage often involved the political interests of the country. Therefore, her parents had already betrothed her to a husband of equal status - a prince from a neighboring country.

Ling Xue is fully aware of her responsibilities and mission, but she cannot control her feelings for Zhou Xing. She is wandering in pain and struggle, not knowing how to make a choice.

Zhou Xing is also well aware of the gap between himself and Ling Xue, and he knows that their relationship faces huge challenges. But he doesn't want to give up, he wants to use his sincerity and hard work to impress Ling Xue and her parents and win this love.

"Ling Xue, I know there is a big gap between our social statuses, but I really love you. I won't give up easily, and I will try my best to make your parents accept me." Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue affectionately and said firmly.

Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing with a look in her eyes, and her heart was filled with emotion and contradiction. She knew that Zhou Xing was a brave man, and his feelings were sincere and deep. But she also knew that reality was cruel, and their love journey was full of hardships and challenges.

Just as Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were working hard for their love story, a crisis was quietly approaching.

The neighboring country learned that Princess Ling Xue of Ling State had a close relationship with a magician, and was worried that this would affect the political marriage between the two countries, so they secretly sent people to Ling State to cause trouble and try to destroy the relationship between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue.

One day, Ling Xue was suddenly attacked by an assassin in the palace. Fortunately, Zhou Xing arrived in time and used magic to repel the assassin and protect Ling Xue's safety. But this incident shocked Ling Xue's parents, who realized how dangerous it was for their daughter to be with a Jianghu illusionist.

In order to protect Ling Xue's safety, Ling Xue's parents strengthened her guard and ordered her to stop contacting Zhou Xing. At the same time, they also protested to the neighboring country, asking them to stop their unreasonable interference. Zhou Xing was very anxious when he heard the news. He knew that someone was deliberately framing him and Ling Xue, but he felt helpless in the face of powerful court forces and international disputes.

Under heavy pressure, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue could only secretly pass on information, encourage and support each other. However, their actions were eventually discovered by Ling Xue's parents.

One day, Zhou Xing was besieged by a group of mysterious people on the streets of Lingguo. These mysterious people were highly skilled in martial arts and their moves were deadly. Zhou Xing fought hard, but was eventually seriously injured because he was outnumbered.

When Ling Xue learned that Zhou Xing was injured, she rushed out of the palace regardless of everything. She came to Zhou Xing's side, looked at him covered in blood, and cried out of heartache.

"Zhou Xing, how did you become like this? It's all my fault..." Ling Xue said in tears.

Zhou Xing opened his eyes weakly, looking at Ling Xue's tearful face, his heart full of guilt and reluctance. He gently stroked Ling Xue's cheek with trembling hands and said, "Ling Xue, don't be sad... I did this voluntarily... As long as I can be with you, I am willing to pay any price..."

At that moment, Ling Xue hugged Zhou Xing tightly and made a bold decision in her heart. She decided to give up her princess status and fly away with Zhou Xing to find their own happiness.

On a dark and windy night, Ling Xue secretly left the palace. She came to Zhou Xing's residence and woke up the unconscious Zhou Xing.

"Zhou Xing, let's go... leave here and find our own happiness..." Ling Xue said firmly.

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue's resolute eyes, feeling touched and worried. He knew that doing so would implicate Ling Xue and make her lose all her glory and status. But he could not refuse Ling Xue's deep affection.

The two packed up their simple bags and set out on the road to escape. They avoided the patrolling soldiers and ran into the distance.

However, their actions were soon discovered by Ling Xue's parents. Ling State sent a large number of soldiers to search for their whereabouts. At the same time, the neighboring country also learned of Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's escape and sent troops to block the border to capture them.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue encountered many difficulties during their escape. They struggled to move forward in the wilderness, without food and water, and had to constantly avoid being chased by pursuers.

One day, when they were crossing a forest, they encountered a sudden rainstorm. The rain flooded the road and made them lost. Just when they felt desperate, a group of mysterious men in black suddenly appeared and surrounded them.

"Do you think you can escape? Just surrender!" said the leader of the men in black coldly.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue stood back to back, watching the man in black warily. They knew that this battle was inevitable, so they decided to fight to the death.

Zhou Xing was in the front, using magic to create mist and phantoms to confuse the men in black. Ling Xue was looking for opportunities to attack the enemy from behind. Although her martial arts were not as sophisticated as Zhou Xing's, she was smart and brave, and could also cause some trouble to the enemy.

In the fierce battle, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue cooperated well and repelled the attacks of the men in black many times. However, the men in black were too numerous and they gradually ran out of strength.

"It seems we can't leave today." Zhou Xing looked at the increasing number of men in black, and a feeling of despair surged in his heart. He held Ling Xue's hand tightly and said, "Ling Xue, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing, her eyes full of love and determination. She nodded and said, "Zhou Xing, I'm not afraid either... As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything."

Just when they were about to fight to the death, they suddenly heard a shout of killing coming from a distance. It turned out that the army of Ling State arrived in time and rescued them.

It turned out that the army of Ling State had discovered their tracks during the search and rushed over in a hurry, fearing that they were in danger. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue had a false alarm, but they knew that the crisis was not completely over.

When the neighboring countries learned of the actions of the Ling Kingdom's army, they became even more angry and increased their pressure on the Ling Kingdom. They demanded that the Ling Kingdom immediately return the eldest princess Ling Xue, otherwise they would start a war.

The Ling Kingdom was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, they were angry about Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's secret escape from the palace; on the other hand, they did not want to start a war because of this incident.

After careful consideration, the King of Ling decided to take a compromise. He sent someone to secretly find Zhou Xing and Ling Xue and said to them: "Your love touched me, but your behavior also brought trouble to the country... I can give you a chance to prove your worth. If you can make great achievements on the battlefield and make contributions to the country, I will agree to let you be together."

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were filled with hope after hearing the king's words. They knew this was their only chance, so they agreed without hesitation. They decided to return to the battlefield hand in hand to fight for their honor and love.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue followed the army of Ling State back to the front line. At this time, the army of the neighboring country had assembled and was ready to attack Ling State. The war was imminent.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue threw themselves into the battle without fear. They fought side by side on the battlefield and supported each other.

Zhou Xing used his most exquisite illusion to confuse the enemy's vision and create chaos. He made the enemy fall into illusions and unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, thus disrupting their position. Ling Xue wielded her long sword and fought bravely. Her sword skills were light and agile, and each sword could accurately pierce the enemy's vital points. Her courage and perseverance infected the soldiers around her, and everyone followed her to charge into battle.

In the fierce battle, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue cooperated well and repeatedly inflicted heavy damage on the enemy. Their brave performance boosted the morale of the soldiers of Ling State.
