Yu Mei wanted to protest, but she knew that, despite being an 8th-level Core Formation stage cultivator, she couldn't go against Hua Xian, who was in the 9th stage of Qi Cultivation.
Although her cultivation level far surpassed Hua Xian's, she knew that he had the prominent Hua family backing him, one of the first-class families in Fenghuang City.
Moreover, the Hua family was supported by the Saber-blade Earth sect, one of the top 10 sects on the entire continent.
Hua Xian sneered, "So, where were we?" "When your useless, trash son disturbed our meeting about clan matters," he chuckled, intentionally provoking Yu Mei.
Yu Mei's anger flared up. "Don't talk about my son like that again!" she exclaimed, her voice rising.
Hua Xian felt the pressure of her higher cultivation, but instead of fear, he smiled even more... "Ooh, let me remind you, this isn't about your son but about your daughter."
He moved closer and sat beside her, his presence making Yu Mei's anger simmer.
Yu Mei controlled her emotions. "The Ice Place has already sent their envoy for Ye Ling, and even the power behind you cannot stop them."
She confronted Hua Xian, who knew this already and smiled even more... "I already knew about it."
He revealed an engagement contract, which showed that the previous patriarch of the Ye family had promised the patriarch of his time in the Hua family to marry any woman from the Ye family as long as one wished to.
He placed the contract in front of her, revealing the Heaven and Earth Vow seal, which meant that if someone refused to fulfil the deal mentioned in the contract, they would be hunted by major clans and sects due to the Heaven and Earth oath.
Yu Mei knew they had something that gave them confidence to go against the one of top five sects, the Ice Palace, but she never thought it would be a marriage contract with a Heaven and Earth oath seal.
She couldn't believe it; she started sweating at the thought of the possibility of the Ye family being hunted down by the whole world.
Hua Xian said very gently, "Now you know why the Ice Palace cannot do anything to us." Yu Mei didn't answer; her thoughts were elsewhere.
She daydreamed about her husband dying in battle, her daughters being taken away by powerful forces, and her weak son dying a pitiful death due to his poor cultivation.
It wasn't that she looked down on her son, but she knew that clansmen bullied Ye Yang, so if the entire Ye family were to be annihilated, what would happen to her son?
Yu Mei asked, "Why are you doing this? Is the Hua family trying to obstruct us from building a good relationship with the Ice Palace?"
Hearing this, Hua Xian chuckled but didn't answer her questions.
Yu Mei continued, "To think that a prominent family like the Hua would resort to underhanded tactics to obstruct us from making contact with powerful forces." She looked him straight in the eye, her tone threatening.
Hua Xian retorted, "So what?" He knew he had already cornered her.
He placed is hand on the thighs which startled her, her anger flared but before she could do…. "this is my doing"
His hands feeling her left thigh…. "I founded this scroll myself and Hua family didn't know about this" Yu Mei feeling relived, she forgets about Hua Xians hands feeling her up.
His hands lingering on her thighs…. "but soon they will know" Yu Mei glared at him.
Yu Mei asked, "Why Ye Ling? There are other beauties in the clan, why not choose one of them?"
Hua Xian gave a big smile…. "that's what I really want" his eyes were lingering on her body while Yu Mei was looking at him intently.
Hua Xian's hand starts moving towards her inner thighs nearing her sacred cave, that's when she realised and tried to remove his hand.
Hua Xian stopped her hand before she could reach his hand caressing her inner thighs.
"I'll think this as big NO from your side" he gently threatened her.
"this is deal between me and you" he didn't let go of her hands.
"your one decision can decide the fate of the whole clan" his middle figure was already touching her sacred cave.
Ye Mei…. "what do you want?" although she was trying to control her anger but her face was already red, maybe because of humiliation or something.
Hua Xian didn't answer he let go of her hand and she did nothing.
He then removed his hands from her thighs, licking and sucking his middle figure which was little wet.
"pooof" with big sound and smoke spreading in his place…. "this was just a clone of mine; we'll talk about this matter another time"
Before vanishing completely…. "your husband is here, hide that contract if you don't want others to know about it" he completely vanished.
Yu Mei hides the scroll in her space bag and that's when Ye Xuan entered her chamber.
