I Am Overlord

Chapter 1265: Tragedy

Finally, Ming Fu was fully recovered. Not only had she regained her strength, but she was also showing signs of breakthrough. If it wasn't for the fact that she had just escaped death, the devilblood heart might have immediately pushed her to the next realm. As she had given up on herself for years, just regaining all her strength was already proof of how miraculous the devilblood heart was.

Her long hair gently drifted about, revealing an absolutely gorgeous face. Her previously frail body had also recovered, with curves in all the right places. No matter how one looked at her, she was a stunningly beautiful young married woman. It was no wonder why, even as a human, Xiang Yangzhan was smitten by her in the past.

So why had Xiang Yangzhan and Ming Fu gotten together in the past? In truth, Ming Fu's unruly disposition played a crucial role in that. As the little princess of the Imperial Nether Clan, she had the most outstanding talent among her peers. The entire clan doted upon her, causing her to grow into a mischievous and unruly woman.

One day, she decided to go to the upper layers of the Devil Domain to witness for herself how humans looked. She also wanted to pit herself against some humans and see just how strong humans were. She eventually met Xiang Yangzhan at the fifth layer.

At the time, Xiang Yangzhan was a high-spirited young man. He was valiant and strong, killing numerous powerful devils as he traversed the Devil Domain. Even at a place as dangerous as the fifth layer, he was able to travel unobstructed, as though he was a fish back in water.

Ming Fu thus challenged him. The two were evenly matched, but she eventually defeated him with her three abilities. Instead of killing him, she tried subduing him. In her opinion, that made things much more interesting. In any case, she also found him pleasing to the eyes. Thus, she wasn't willing to kill him.

Who would have known that her sparing him was the start of a relationship laden with tragedy? After capturing him, she constantly ordered him around and mistreated him in all sorts of manner. He could only endure the humiliation as he awaited a chance to escape. Or, to be precise, he was awaiting an opportunity to make a counterattack. After all, that was the very first time he had suffered such mistreatment after he had started cultivating.

One day, Ming Fu was attacked by some human experts, including a Rebirth Realm expert. Ming Fu's guardian was thus distracted.

As the battle raged on, Ming Fu brought Xiang Yangzhan to a certain place filled with poisonous mist to hide. Unknown to them, the poisonous mist had an aphrodisiacal effect. They accidentally inhaled the poison and had intercourse. One could say that the act was involuntary for both of them.

After recovering her clarity, Ming Fu wanted to kill Xiang Yangzhan to alleviate her hatred. However, he found a chance to break free of her control and captured her instead. Their roles were reversed, and she became his prisoner.

Xiang Yangzhan also wanted to kill her. After all, she was a devil. However, he couldn't bring himself to do so. After spending some time together, he found that this devil wasn't that evil after all. She was beautiful, adorable, and someone whom he had slept with. She was essentially his woman already.

And thus, the fearless Xiang Yangzhan decided to take Ming Fu back to the surface world. Ming Fu's disappearance caused the Imperial Nether Clan to mobilize the entire fifth layer to search for her whereabouts. Because of that, Xiang Yangzhan faced countless pursuers when he was trying to leave with Ming Fu. If it wasn't for his impressive combat strength, he would have been killed.

It was also during that period that Ming Fu slowly fell for Xiang Yangzhan. Ultimately, when Xiang Yangzhan was about to be killed, she stopped the devils and ordered them to retreat. The two thus started spending time as a couple. They even forgot their respective identities. During that time, Ming Fu became pregnant.

Xiang Yangzhan was overjoyed. He wanted to bring her back to the surface world, but he was also afraid that all the humans would target her. Thus, they could only wait until she gave birth to the child within the Devil Domain.

However, the birth of the child had created a massive phenomenon. Phantoms of mystical beings such as gods, fiends, dragons, tigers, phoenixes, turtles, and qilins appeared. The phenomenon was proof of the child's terrifying talent, and it attracted the Nether Monarch's attention. The Imperial Nether Clan's experts were sent to take Ming Fu back to the clan. He wanted to find out just what had happened.

With that, Ming Fu's relationship with Xiang Yangzhan was exposed. She personally stopped her clan members while telling Xiang Yangzhan to escape with their child. Only with that was Xiang Yangzhan able to barely escape.

Xiang Yangzhan was naturally unwilling to leave Ming Fu. But for the sake of their child, he had to leave. After braving numerous dangers, he finally left the Devil Domain with Xiang Shaoyun.

Ming Fu told Xiang Shaoyun all of this after she recovered from her injuries. Xiang Shaoyun sighed for the sufferings his parents had undergone over the years.

"Son, is your father well?" asked Ming Fu.

Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to tell her the truth. He smiled and replied, "Father is fine. He is still alone. I have been telling him to get me a stepmother, but he refuses. He still misses you dearly."

Ming Fu had a longing look as she said, "Your father is a stubborn person. After leaving this place, look for a stepmother for him."

Ming Fu was clear that she wouldn't be able to leave. She couldn't allow Xiang Yangzhan to spend his remaining days alone.

"Mother, don't say that. Like I said, our family will reunite," said Xiang Shaoyun. "Let's leave this place. This is not the kind of place where we should be staying."

Ming Fu nodded and left with Xiang Shaoyun. A joyful smile hung on her face at all times. This was the happiest day for her in the past 30 years. Only now did she recall the Dark Devourer Clan member that had attacked her. Xiang Shaoyun naturally told her what he knew.

"There are actually survivors from that clan? Son, you must be careful if you encounter them in the future. Their abilities are extremely terrifying. A single mistake will cost you everything when facing them," reminded Ming Fu.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded, "I will. The Dark Devourer Clan seems to be hated. Do you know the reason, Mother?"

"They are too ambitious, wanting to become the sole ruler of the devils. Us, the Diabolic Dragon Clan, and the Undying Devil Clan had thus worked together to expel them from the Devil Domain," replied Ming Fu.

"Expelled?" Xiang Shaoyun was astonished. "Are there other paths out of the Devil Domain?"

Since the Dark Devourer Clan wasn't in the dominion, it was clear they hadn't been exiled to it. This meant that there were other paths out of the Devil Domain.

"Of course, but that path is also a taboo. People rarely survive traveling that path," said Ming Fu.
