NTR: Choice Based System

His expression turned serious, and he leaned in closer. "It's fortunate that Young Master Ye Yang remains unaware of this, and our family discovered it sooner rather than later. Otherwise, those power-hungry old monsters would have undoubtedly cast him out of the family, if not killed him."

"You thought that if you revealed this to them, they would allow you to marry him, right? How naive." The butler's gaze pierced through Xu Li as he continued, "You didn't confide in Young Master Ye Yang, but in me, a servant bound to the family." His voice dripped with sarcasm.

"And when they discovered your secret, did they grant your wish? No, instead, they chose to groom you... and now, you know the truth."

His tone turned ominous. "They'll use you as an immortal cultivation furnace, and not only your life but also Young Master's life hangs in the balance, depending on your decision."

Xu Li listened silently, her expression unreadable, as the butler's words hung in the air like a challenge.

"They selected Elder Ye Xuan to train you because they knew his unwavering dedication to the clan surpasses even his loyalty to the family," the butler explained, his voice laced with a hint of curiosity. "As for why he accepted this responsibility, even I am unsure. His motives remain a mystery, but one thing is certain – they will stop at nothing to exploit your potential for the clan's benefit."

Swearing to herself, Xu Li remained silent, her resolve unwavering. "I'll do anything they want, endure any hardship, just to ensure Young Master's safety." Her heart was set on protecting Ye Yang, no matter the cost.

The butler's words had only strengthened her determination, and she steeled herself for the challenges ahead, ready to face whatever lay in store.

Butler stopped talking as he was at his limit, "he deepthroated Maid Mai and releases his curd on her throat.

"aaaaaahhhhh"

He moaned while the Maid tried her best to free herself from his grip.

"cough"

"cough"

She swallowed his curd while some still came out of The butler's gaze fell upon Xu Li's mouth, and he spoke in a disapproving tone, "You still need to work on your technique. As a maid, how can you be so sloppy? Learn to handle bigger loads without making a mess."

He turned towards Xu Mei, pinching her left nipple, "you are aroused by watching us" he chuckled and left, followed by Xu Li and Maid Mai.

Mortified, Yu Mei hastily dressed, her face flushed with shame, as Hua Xian watched her with an unblinking gaze.

Hua Xian's voice was laced with subtle implications as he spoke, "Uncle Ye Xuan is truly fortunate to have a woman like you." His words hung in the air, open to interpretation, leaving Yu Mei's emotions in turmoil.

Yu Mei couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal towards her husband, yet the sensation of Ye Xuan's hands on her body still lingered, sending shivers down her spine. The memory of his touch was enough to melt her defences, leaving her vulnerable to the tumultuous emotions that threatened to consume her.

Hua Xian tossed a scroll towards Yu Mei, who caught it deftly. As she unrolled it, her eyes widened in surprise. The scroll bore the personal seal of the Ancestor of Hua clan himself, and its contents made her heart skip a beat.

The message was clear: the Ye clan was permitted to send Ye Ling to the Ice Palace, but only on one condition - the Ye family must publicly announce Ye Ling's future marriage to the Hua clan.

She came to her senses, "How?" Her one word was equal to a thousand questions.

Hua Xian rose from his seat and approached her, his gaze fixed on hers. As he walked, little dragon was hanging between his legs, and Yu Mei's eyes instinctively darted towards it. She gulped, trying to ignore the sight and maintain her composure.

Hua Xian smiled when he sensed her gaze, "soon you'll have it, don't worry."

Yu Mei ignored his previous statement and pressed on, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Tell me, how did you manage to obtain the Ancestor's seal when he resides on a different continent?"

Hua Xian's expression turned serious; his voice laced with a hint of warning. "You shouldn't concern yourself with the how and when, Yu Mei.

Your focus should be on convincing the Ye family to agree to this arrangement, especially since even the Imperial family will stop at nothing to claim Ye Ling for themselves." Yu Mei's eyes widened as the weight of his words sank in, her worries multiplying exponentially.

She had never considered the possibility of the Imperial family's involvement, and the thought sent a shiver down her spine.

"the Imperial family's involvement is not surprising, given their close ties to the Ye clan head."

"You once said the Hua family would stop at nothing to make Ye Ling one of their own. Now, with the Imperial family entering the picture, I must ask: does your unwavering confidence stem from the Heaven and Earth Oath Seal?"

"Heaven and Earth Oath Seal is just one aspect," Hua Xian whispered, his breath tickling Yu Mei's ear.

"For now, convey my message to Ye Ling: she must come to the Hua family before the Tatanka Bison clan arrives." Hua Xian's expression turned enigmatic, a hint of a grin playing on his lips. "As for the Imperial family... I'll take care of that matter personally."

Yu Mei couldn't help but wonder, "Why is this man so confident and self-assured?" A fleeting thought crossed her mind, "I wish Ye Yang possessed even a fraction of Hua Xian's conviction and poise."

She asked, "Why do you want her to go to the Hua family, and what does it have to do with the Tatanka Bison clan's arrival?"

Hua Xian, "tell her that and she'll not ignore my request, as for why?" he turned around and sit on the ancient sofa.

"she will participate from our side in the upcoming secret realm expedition" then he warns her about Tatnka bison clan, "be vigilant around those wild beasts."

As Yu Mei finished dressing, covering her face and body, Hua Xian let out a low whistle.

His subordinate reappeared, and Hua Xian turned to Yu Mei, "I'll send something for you in the upcoming days, be sure to wear it."

Yu Mei didn't hesitate, turning to leave the room. Just as she reached the door, a woman entered, also covered from head to toe. But there was something about this woman that Yu Mei found eerily familiar.

In the Ye clan,

The Ye family elders gathered around a grand, C shape table, their faces filled with anticipation. All 13 elders were present, except for the clan leader. The group consisted of 5 young elders and 8 senior elders, with only 3 women among them, the remaining 10 being men.

Then two people entered the room, they were none other than butler and Xu Li.

Seeing Xu Li enter, the eyes of every man were filled with lust and even one of the female elder.

Mid-section of the table was occupied by Grand elder, on his right was first elder Eva Angel and on his left was surprisingly the young elder, Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was the Grand Elder's protégé, and his rapid rise through the ranks went unchallenged. His exceptional martial prowess and unwavering dedication to the clan earned him widespread respect.

While some harboured envy towards him, particularly due to his captivating wives, lovely daughters, and the Favor he received from the clan's female elders, it didn't cloud their judgment.

Given Ye Xuan's unwavering commitment to the clan, the elders knew he would willingly sacrifice himself for their sake.

Therefore, when the Grand Elder decreed that Xu Li was to be trained in martial arts, cultivation, and other disciplines, and appointed Ye Xuan as her mentor, no one dared to object.

The elders' silence was a testament to their trust in Ye Xuan's capabilities and their respect for the Grand Elder's wisdom.

Despite their trust in Ye Xuan, the other men couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.

As Xu Li's mentor, he would be spending intimate hours with her, guiding her in martial arts, cultivation, and other disciplines.

Although the Grand Elder had strictly forbidden him intercourse between them, the men knew that didn't mean Ye Xuan couldn't find other ways to indulge in his desires.

The thought of being in such close proximity to the captivating Xu Li, even without crossing the boundaries of propriety, was enough to stir their jealousy.

The Grand Elder's gaze swept over Xu Li's form, his eyes lingering on her curves as he asked, "Xu Li, how is your training progressing?" His voice was measured, but his gaze betrayed a hint of interest that went beyond mere mentorship.

Xu Li's expression remained neutral as she replied, "Everything is progressing well, thanks to Master's guidance." Her voice was flat and even, betraying no hint of emotion.

The Grand Elder's face creased into a warm smile as he chuckled, "Good."

He nodded his head in approval, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction as he praised Ye Xuan.

Then, his expression turned serious, and he dropped the bombshell: "We have decided who will be your first man."
