Lu Qiang couldn't bear it any longer: "I know your current situation in the Su family. Even if this engagement is lost, you are still my sister. I will compensate you."
"Brother Lu Qiang, your kindness is enough. As long as you treat my sister well in the future, I will be very happy. I can understand. I am just an adopted daughter of the Su family. My parents have never thought of giving me any of the Su family's property, and I don't ask for it. After all, they have given me such a good life, and I am already very satisfied."
"But you, Brother Lu Qiang, are different. If you have the support of the Su family, you will definitely make a big splash and build your own career. Then both our families will prosper."
Su Miaomiao's words sounded righteous, but in fact they were adding fuel to the fire.
"It would be best if you could understand. I came here to explain this to you. As long as you let go, everything will be easy."
Lu Qiang finally smiled. He planned to visit with his parents tonight without wasting a moment.
"Brother Lu Qiang, I still have classes, so I'll leave first." Su Miaomiao stood up resolutely, even looking back pretending to be nostalgic, and then left without looking back.
Lu Qiang thought she was sad, but in fact, Su Miaomiao turned around and smiled, hoping that he would cancel the engagement as soon as possible so that their family would not have to pretend to be so sad.
Su Miaomiao naturally reported her situation in the family group so that her parents could be prepared.
At this time, Su Xuanxuan and Lin Yan had just finished their meal in the restaurant and were about to leave when they suddenly noticed something was wrong.
At this moment, everyone in the restaurant was focused on one girl.
"Miss, you have eaten a lot. You should consider your health." The waiter chose his words carefully. The girl had been eating since she entered the store. She had been eating for two hours now, and her expression was already very painful. If she continued to eat, her body would not be able to bear it.
The girl's mouth was blocked by food and she couldn't speak at all. She could only keep eating.
He even gave up on cutlery and started eating directly. The corners of his mouth were stained with soup and he looked a little embarrassed.
"That girl doesn't seem normal." Lin Yan observed for a long time, but didn't see anything. He just felt that eating so much food didn't seem to be the girl's own wish, as if something was controlling her.
Su Xuanxuan noticed something and quickly stepped forward.
“Stop eating!”
She scolded him, saying that what she had eaten was far more than her body could bear, and if she continued, her life would definitely be in danger.
There was despair in the girl's eyes. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and uttered a word with difficulty from her throat.
"No...I can't control it."
Su Xuanxuan didn't care about anything else. He stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and lifted her hair. Sure enough, he found a teardrop-shaped red mark on the back of her neck, which was now as red as blood.
It was just as she thought.
The girl, whose hands were tied, became restless and uncontrollably wanted to pick up the food and stuff it into her mouth again.
"Take the things away!"
Su Xuanxuan instructed the waiter.
"No, I want to eat more. I'm so hungry!"
The girl screamed with a hint of madness.
The waiter was a little overwhelmed and didn't know who to listen to.
Lin Yan said sternly, "Do you want to see someone die in your store? Take the things away immediately!"
The waiter shuddered and called his colleagues to help clear the table.
Seeing the food being taken away, the girl's eyes widened and she struggled hard, but she couldn't move it at all.
Perhaps because she didn't see the food, she became sober for a moment, and there was a pleading look in her eyes.
"Save me."
Instantly he was controlled again: "Give me something to eat!"
"Give me something to eat!"
As more and more people gathered, Su Xuanxuan reached out and injected his true energy into the girl's teardrop-shaped red mark, temporarily sealing the thing in the girl's body.
"Lin Yan, call an ambulance!"
The most urgent task is to save the girl's life.
After the girl was sent to the hospital, the two did not leave but stayed in the hospital.
Feeling a little better, the girl stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me."
Su Xuanxuan replied unhappily, "You're lucky to have met us this time. If you get involved with those unclean things again, even the Golden Immortal can't save you."
When the girl heard something dirty, her body froze.
"You know everything?"
Lin Yan was a little confused. He didn’t see any ghosts?
"That thing is called a Soul Devourer. It feeds on the essence of living things. If the host's energy can't satisfy it, it will make you continue to eat to gain energy, and eventually explode and die. It will then absorb the last bit of your essence and finally escape."
"But this thing also has limitations. Unless you actively allow it to possess you and sign a contract, it can't harm you."
Su Xuanxuan had heard his master talk about this kind of thing, but he didn't expect to actually see it.
"Soul-eater? How come I've never heard of it?" This was the first time Lin Yan knew about this thing, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
“There are so many things you don’t know.”
Su Xuanxuan has always known that this world is more magical than he imagined.
"Now that you've reached this point, you still refuse to tell the truth? How did an ordinary person like you get exposed to this kind of thing?"
Su Xuanxuan questioned, with inquiry in his eyes.
The girl showed a hint of panic: "I don't know, I just want to lose weight, I didn't think it would be so dangerous."
"I don't want to die. Is there any way you can save me?"
After experiencing the pain of near-death, the girl developed a strong desire for life.
"Then tell me the truth. I have already controlled the Devouring Spirit in your body, but we must find its mother body to completely eliminate it. If I eliminate the Devouring Spirit in your body now, it will alert the enemy."
"And the mother body?"
Lin Yan was a little surprised. This thing was quite complicated.
"Well, after the Devouring Soul detaches from the host, it will return to the mother body, return its own energy to the mother body, and then seek out the host to form a bond. So if you want to completely eliminate this Devouring Soul, you must find the mother body!"
Su Xuanxuan explained, but the girl was so scared that her face turned pale, although her face was not in good condition to begin with.
"I'll tell you! Please, please, please save me!"
She knew that the person in front of her was the only one who could save her.
"Two months ago, I signed up for a fitness class to lose weight, but it didn't help. Then a personal trainer contacted me and said she had a quick way to lose weight. I couldn't resist the temptation and contacted her."
"That's when I formed a contract with the Soul Devourer. She just said it was an ancient ritual, but didn't specify what it was. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so I just thought of it as some kind of belief."
"But later I found that I had really lost weight, and I could eat a lot without gaining weight. That's when I began to believe what she said was true. But when I realized something was wrong, it was too late. I ate more and more, but I was getting thinner and thinner."
