Chapter 1264: Mother and Son Reunited

Ming Fu. This was the name of Xiang Shaoyun's mother, the Imperial Nether Clan's previous little princess. She bore the hope of the clan during her generation. With an astonishingly powerful bloodline, even the Nether Monarch was confident she would become the next Nether Monarch.

Unfortunately, she took the wrong path and started a forbidden relationship with a human. She had even given birth to a child with that human. Her future was thus ruined. Ming Fu had not expected that she would be attacked by the Dark Devourer Clan when her son had finally arrived. Her strength had been sealed, rendering her helpless. Even though she had subsequently broken free of her seal, she still couldn't avoid dying.

Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun had arrived in time. He even knew to make use of his rune and had a devilblood heart in his possession. Thus, she was able to recover a sliver of life. In a way, this was proof that fate did not intend for her life to end yet.

Ming Fu had a strong will to live. She could sense that her child was now beside her. The sensation coming from her very blood wouldn't be wrong. She had to recover as quickly as possible. Doing all she could, she absorbed the devilblood heart. Her body recovered rapidly, and eventually, she opened her eyes.

The first person she saw was Xiang Shaoyun. For a moment, she thought that she was looking at Xiang Yangzhan. She called out, "Brother Zhan?"

"No, I'm his son, Xiang Shaoyun," replied Xiang Shaoyun in an emotional manner.

Finally, Ming Fu's head cleared up. She grabbed Xiang Shaoyun's hand and shouted, "Y-you're my son! You're my son!"

She then pulled Xiang Shaoyun into her arms and cried bitterly.

"My son, my dearest son, I finally see you, finally..."

Her sadness, her longing, all her feelings burst out like a flood, presenting a touching reunion.

Xiang Shaoyun also couldn't constrain himself anymore. Choking with emotion, he called out, "Mother!"

Since he was a boy, he had wanted to call out to his mother. He had never gotten the chance. And finally, his wish was fulfilled.

Ming Cigeng tactfully left. They were devils, but they weren't without emotions. On the contrary, the feelings they had for fellow clan members were as strong as the feelings humans could have for each other.

After crying for a while, Ming Fu finally released Xiang Shaoyun. She sized him up before lightly stroking his cheeks. "My son, I finally get to see you. Even if I am to die after this, I have no regrets."

Xiang Shaoyun held her hand tightly and said, "Mother, you won't die. We still need to reunite with Father. We will no longer be separated!"

This wasn't only his hope but also his goal.

"Yes, yes, our family will be together again," said Ming Fu in an emotional manner.

Xiang Shaoyun wiped her tears and said, "Mother, it has been hard for you. Let's leave this cursed place."

"I-I'm a sinner. I can't leave this place," Ming Fu said painfully. "Son, leave. I am happy enough to see you this one time. Don't stay. Leave."

"Mother, do you think I can easily leave after coming here?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

His words seemed to remind Ming Fu of something. After giving it some thought, she panicked and asked, "Son, were you captured by the clan? No, I'm going to beg them to release you! You can't stay here and suffer with me!"

After suffering years of torture, her mental state had b
