That night the famous general from the capital had to sleep on the living room's couch alone because he teased and pissed off his own wife. When everyone woke up they saw the scene of their great general sleeping on the couch.
Seeing this the soldiers could hold but sniggers at him. It seems that in the future they need to listen to the general's wife first before the general itself. The real boss is Ximen Xueya.
Uncle Wu, who woke up ahead of time, just finished cooking breakfast. He had to wake up their general who seemed to be sulking all night after his wife kicked him out of the bedroom.
"Master, wake up. It's time for breakfast. Please wake Master Xueya and the young master up."
"They aren't awake yet?"
"Well~ that is because the young master couldn't sleep on time without Master and Master Xueya sleeping beside him while… Master Xueya had watched over you for a week while you were healing. He had only returned to the mansion to sleep for the first time last night." replied the old butler.
"A week? I've been out that long? Moreover, Xue'er had been sleeping outside during that time!?"
"Yes, Master. If not for the Young Master and the boy named Zhi Yue bringing his meals we wouldn't know your situation."
The general's expression was full of worry hearing about this news. He never expected to be out for one whole week.
"Uncle Wu please prepare meals for two adults and a baby. I will bring it over."
"Okay. Please wait for a while." replied the old butler who once again returned to the kitchen and prepared food for the family.
Cao Junye waits in the living room while the old butler makes the necessary preparations for breakfast on bed. The soldiers who all woke up saluted at their general before running out of the mansion to do their daily morning training.
In a while, Wang Lei, Lou Lan, and Zhi Yue went down from their rooms. They only need to exchange glances with Cao Junye to understand that the latter wanted to speak with them.
"My Lord you're finally awake," said Wang Lei.
Zhi Yue greets him properly, "Greetings My Lord."
Lou Lan remained silent but bowed his head as well in greetings. Afterward, he avoided meeting Cao Junye's eyes due to fear of his real identity.
"Sit down."
The three sat down at the opposite couch where Cao Junye sits.
"I will make it simple. In this world, there would be three illegal world hoppers playing the role of the original residents of this star. Their target is my wife. I would like it if you keep your eyes open for anything suspicious."
"Yes sir!" responded Wang Lei and Zhi Yue.
"13, give the two the full copy of this world's data. That way it would be easier for them to point out those characters once they've started acting weird. Send it to me as well."
Zhi Yue replied, "I will compile a copy for everyone."
"Go. You may now eat."
Uncle Wu returned pushing a food cart in front of him. On the cart are countless dishes like porridge, French toast, egg and sausages, steamed dumplings as well as milk and coffee.
"Master. The meals are prepared, let me help you bring it over to the room." said the old butler with a kind smile on his face as always.
Seeing that he couldn't stop this responsible and loyal butler from coming with him. He could only comply but only until the door of the master's bedroom.
—
3rd floor. Master's Bedroom.
Just outside the room, Cao Junye and Uncle Wu, who is pushing the food cart, stopped by the door.
"Up to here is enough. Thanks, Uncle Wu. You can continue the rest of your duties."
"Then please call me if you need anything, master."
Once the old butler had left. Cao Junye looked at his clothes. He straightened all the creases and checked whether he was presentable. He first knocks at the door lightly to check whether his wife and son are awake. After the knock no-one replies.
Knock. knock. Knock.
Cao Junye spoke from outside the room, "Wife?"
Hearing no one's reply Cao Junye carefully opened the door just to lessen the sound of it opening. Seeing the sleeping figures on the bed, Cao Junye pushed in the cart inside before slowly closing the door after him.
He walked towards the bed and looked at the two who were sleeping on it. The big one is wearing dark grey pajamas, in contrast to his fair skin which makes it seem flawless and delicate. The silk-made clothes trails at Xueya's body curves. His small waist and plump butt were distinctly tempting to touch.
Even if there are strangers in the mansion, Ximen Xueya seems to be a bit unguarded. This is because he trusts that Cao Junye wouldn't allow someone else aside from himself to approach his wife and son. Xueya sleeps deeply yet defenseless.
Sleeping curled up beside Xueya is a little bun wearing a white cat onesie. His small hands were lightly grabbing Xueya's clothes as the adult hugged him in sleep. Chino looks adorable as a little kitten curling up to his owner for attention and warmth. Such a cute and peaceful scene, it just made Cao Junye smiles. He kissed these two. The young one on his cheeks while the big one on his lips.
The big baby woke up and instinctively returned the kiss he made. After a short affectionate kiss, Xueya woke up with a yawn.
Cao Junye spoke, "Good morning, baby~"
"Morning my love," replied Xueya.
"Uncle Wu prepared our breakfast. Let's eat together," said Cao Junye as he stole a kiss on his sleepy wife's cheeks.
"Don't wake up Xiao Jing. He slept late last night. I want to wash my face first." said Xueya as he stood up and headed to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.
After eating breakfast the family of three had finally gone down to meet the rest of the group. Everyone was waiting in the living room for the general and his family to come down. Everyone's eyes were on them as they walked down the stairs. Cao Junye carries the young master on his arm while holding his wife's hand on the other. There's still a bit of avoidance coming from Ximen Xueya but at most, they could see that the latter is willing to forgive their general which made all of the sights in relief.
Cao Junye said, "Everyone enjoyed their vacation enough right? We will resume our journey to Z district after lunch."
A soldier asked while sneaking a peek at their general's wife, "Question. Are we going by car or… teleport there directly?"
Ximen Xueya snorted at this question. "If I directly teleport you there, would you even know your way home the next time you went out for a mission?"
"N-No…"
At this event, the other soldiers pulled in their stupid comrade for asking such a moronic question. As soldiers, they were tasked to follow orders without question. Everyone from the unit understands this. The soldier just now received a stern glance from the general and understood that he did wrong just now.
The soldier saluted and spoke, "Please give me punishment, general!"
"Triple your training tonight!"
"Yes, General!"
"Make your preparations. We would be leaving in 20 minutes."
"Yes, Sir!"

Meanwhile in some desolated and abandoned city.
A man and woman with pale skin that even the black veins were visible were standing at the center of a huge crowd of zombies. These zombies were like puppets standing before them lowering their heads. They are clearly under someone's control.
The couple at the center had white skin only found on corpses. Their nails were a bit long and pointed with their color tainted with black blood. The eyes of this couple are dull and lifeless, their irises were white without pigments. Clearly, the man and woman were moving corpses, undead like the zombies.
But unlike normal zombies, they seem to possess intelligence not found in the undead. They weren't that different from living humans except that their bodies are dead and their thirst for blood and flesh was strong.
There's a floating light ball hovering around the two. This thing is invisible to others except for world hoppers. The couple is an outsider yet different from the MC and ML. They are destroyers.
The woman spoke, "Gege~ is the mission target in this world?"
"According to the system. Yes, he is here." replied nonchalantly by the man.
The woman is called Hei Suya while the man is named Ye Yan. They were illegal world hoppers yet based on their reaction they weren't ordinary destroyers as they most likely had a connection to some organization. They have specified a mission target to eliminate. It is usual as destroyers normally work solo.
"I don't mind entering worlds to find our hit target but… what's with this vessel!? I don't like being a corpse!" complains Hei Suya as she glared at the hovering system.
[Replying to the second host. There aren't suitable vessels to steal with the heavenly laws of this A rank world interfering. The system's level is too low to fight against the heavenly laws of an upper-class world. The vessels of the Zombie King and Zombie Queen were the most suitable for the host's task of battling and killing the tasked target. With this body you could confront them without giving the heavenly laws of this world a reason for rejecting the hosts.]
"Which means the target's vessel is a human in this world. Bee, report about the vessel's character information," said Ye Yan.
[Affirmative. Target's name, Ximen Xueya. A mob character is supposed to die during the initial progression of the Apocalypse but according to the recent world data, this system had been stolen. The original soul of Ximen Xueya had already entered reincarnation and his vessel is now occupied with an outsider affiliated with both the God System and Nether System. The organization tasked for this target's execution.]
Hei Suya asked as she narrowly squinted her eyes, "A world hopper registered in both systems? He must be quite a character to be one. Did you get his real name?"
[Negative. The identity of the target cannot be collected. His name is erased from both systems.]
"Real name is unidentified but the organization wants this person dead?" murmured Ye Yan, there's an obvious frown on his ashen yet handsome face.
Hei Suya snorted, "Who cares what his name is? We only need to kill him anyway~," she said with a proud smile on her pretty face.
"It is weird enough that the old coggers in the organization are acting on their own. Now that even the target's identity is unknown, then things aren't simple as it is," said Ye Yan.
[Host. The level of your current vessel is too low to confront the target. Level 6 is too weak. Please level up as soon as possible.]
Hei Suya and Ye Yan were a bit startled hearing this report from their system. This system is called Bee. It is a stolen system from a deceased world hopper Ye Yan had killed before. This is his system.
Ye Yan asked, "Bee, what is the target's current level?"
[Checking… Checking complete. Report: The target, Ximen Xueya's current level is Ice Element – unknown. Space – unpredictable. Mental Type ability 'Kotodama': Max. The heavenly laws had considered the target's identity as Godly.]
Hei Suya responded with a curse, "Fuck! What's with these results? Unknown? Unpredictable? Max!? Are you sure this person isn't the God of this world?"
[Affirmative. According to the world data of this world. This person's existence is fathomless. No one knew the real extent of his existence.]
Ye Yan reacted differently than the cursing lady, "Forget about this now. We need to level up our vessels first or… nothing could be done. We'll start attacking human bases starting tomorrow."
"I understand, gege~" replied Hei Suya.
