Chapter 4 - Binding the Fiancée, Could It Be the Devouring Route?
In the end, she could only conclude that her fiancé’s family background and upbringing were truly exceptional, with a gentle and considerate personality, valuing emotions and integrity.
How else could all this be explained?
However, the members of the Su family, including the head of the family, were ecstatic and overjoyed.
They didn’t believe that Jiang Minghan would deceive them at this moment.
As for canceling the engagement, were they fools? How could they agree to that?
In terms of status and position,
Even the saintesses and goddesses of those immortal great sects might not be worthy of Jiang Minghan.
If it weren’t for the connections of Su Mingyue’s master back then,
Even if Su Mingyue were the saintess of the Butian God Sect, she would never have hoped to be betrothed to the young master of the hidden immortal clan.
“Mingyue is now just a cripple. How could I be worthy of Young Master Jiang?”
Su Mingyue looked at Jiang Minghan with complex emotions in her eyes.
Both publicly and privately, she certainly didn’t want to cancel the engagement from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing this, Jiang Minghan couldn’t help but smile,
“If everything in this world was about who’s worthy and who’s not, it would truly be too boring.”
“Besides, we already have an engagement. In my eyes, whether Miss Su is the saintess of the Butian God Sect or a young lady of the Su family, it’s actually the same, with no difference.”
“It’s Mingyue who’s overly concerned.”
Hearing these words, Su Mingyue was a bit stunned, then lowered her eyes, feeling a mix of emotions.
Ultimately, her feelings stemmed from a sense of inferiority in front of her brilliant fiancé, Jiang Minghan.
But Jiang Minghan’s words and actions made her feel waves of warmth and gratitude.
Over the past three years, she had seen too much of human warmth and coldness, the fickleness of the world.
She had mentally prepared herself for Jiang Minghan to cancel the engagement.
Yet, she never expected that her fiancé not only didn’t despise her but was also considerate to such an extent.
Like a ray of light piercing through all the darkness and gloom of the past three years.
Jiang Minghan smiled slightly, not saying more.
He wasn’t surprised at Su Mingyue’s reaction in the least.
Adding icing on the cake was nice, but it couldn’t compare to sending charcoal in the snow.
Moreover, this wasn’t just sending charcoal; it was like sending the sun itself.
Su Mingyue was still that ridiculed and despised cripple. How could she know that she would rise terrifyingly in the future?
So, establishing a character and necessary means are really important.
“Three years ago, Miss Su’s cultivation suddenly regressed overnight. Has the cause been found?”
Then, Jiang Minghan seemed to suddenly remember this matter, showing some surprise and puzzlement on his face.
In fact, when he was observing Su Mingyue earlier, he was looking to see if she had any rings or similar items.
But unfortunately, there were no rings, bracelets, or jade pendants, just simple and plain.
Could it be there’s no mystical grandpa?
Hearing this, Su Mingyue looked troubled and shook her head, “I haven’t found the reason yet, and my master went to a forbidden area to help me but has been missing since then, with her fate unknown.”
Jiang Minghan’s eyes showed a hint of different color, then he softly comforted, “The Grand Elder’s cultivation is profound. She should be fine. Miss Su doesn’t need to worry too much.”
“Actually, I’ve studied many ancient texts. If Miss Su doesn’t mind, I can take a look.”
“Then I’ll trouble Young Master Jiang.”
Hearing this, Su Mingyue was first stunned, then a blush appeared on her fair face.
But she still straightforwardly extended her white, delicate wrist.
She felt strange in her heart. Although Jiang Minghan was her fiancé, he was also the first man to be so close to her.
“Forgive me.”
Jiang Minghan nodded slightly, then stepped forward, making a pulse-taking gesture and placing his hand on her wrist.
His expression was focused and serious, his eyes natural.
Her skin felt cool and soft, like jade or snow.
Of course, if the system hadn’t required physical contact to bind, he wouldn’t have said this.
Seeing this scene, including Su Mingyue, everyone looked on with expectation, not taking their eyes off them.
Jiang Minghan was knowledgeable; maybe he could find out the cause.
“Ding, binding Tianjiao…”
“Binding successful. Current system level: lv1, can bind one Tianjiao. The number of Tianjiao can increase with system upgrades.”
“Current bound target: Su Mingyue.”

=======================================
Many details about Su Mingyue appeared in Jiang Minghan’s mind, making him slightly surprised.
Although her cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Stage 1, the techniques she had learned were far from simple. They were all supreme forbidden techniques of the Butian God Sect, extremely powerful and terrifying.
If her cultivation hadn’t regressed and she hadn’t become a cripple, she would undoubtedly be a supreme young talent, sweeping through any opposition effortlessly.
Moreover, this strange physique seemed to be the cause of her cultivation regression.
Devouring Celestial Demon Body, the name alone sounded intimidating.
Jiang Minghan searched his memory but found nothing about this physique.
The system provided no further explanation either.
But the next moment, as if sensing his confusion, the system’s prompt sounded again.
“Ding, analyzing Su Mingyue’s physique.”
“Analyzing…”
“Devouring Celestial Demon Body: A body of celestial-demon coexistence, requires the balance of celestial and demonic energies to cultivate. When fully matured, it can split into one celestial and one demon, with boundless power, capable of reaching the heavens and the earth…”
Goodness, when fully matured, it can split into a celestial and a demon.
Wouldn’t that be double the fun?
Jiang Minghan marveled in his heart. As he expected, this was the cause of Su Mingyue’s regression.
It seemed there was no mystical grandpa after all.
But the Devouring Celestial Demon Body was indeed terrifying.
According to the system’s further explanation, cultivating both celestial and demonic energies, before awakening, it was no different from an ordinary mortal body.
The subsequent cultivation method was even more brutal and terrifying. Its name was Devouring Celestial Demon Body, naturally following the devouring route.
Rising to a point where no one dared claim supremacy, it seemed she was destined to follow the template of a ruthless empress.
“Ding, synchronizing Su Mingyue’s techniques, obtained Sacred Primal Origin Scripture, Extreme Creation Heavenly Art, Forbidden Domain of the Divine Ruins, Heaven Mending Technique, Light Transformation Technique…”
