In the living room at the mansion of General Cao Junye. Shi Moye and Yun Suisen were waiting for their superiors to finish eating their meals. Uncle Wu didn't forget to serve some tea and snacks for them to enjoy while waiting.

Shi Moye asked his lover, "Sui-chan, did we come too early?"

"No. They must have woken up late. Let's just wait for a while more." replied Yun Suisen.

The sound of the door opening was suddenly heard. It was Wang Lei who opened the door off the receiving area for the general and his family. Wang Lei first nodded towards the guests.

"General, they are still here," said Wang Lei, still holding on to the door.

It was Cao Junye who first entered the room carrying his son with his right hand and holding his wife's, Ximen Xueya, hand with his left. They were like pictures of a happy family. Zhi Yue turned back to his avatar form. 

Shi Moye and Yun Suisen were surprised by their sudden arrival and subconsciously stood up and greeted them. Wang Lei closed the door after his general, his general's wife and son had entered the room then stood by the door guarding. 

"Good Morning Sirs!"

Cao Junye first sat down on the open couch with his family. Ximen Xueya remained cold as always while Ximen Chino just stared at the two uncles inside the room.

"Good Morning. Have a seat." said Cao Junye. After the two sat down, "Why did you come over for the morning?" asked the general.

"Generally there are some reports about the nearby forest." answer Shi Moye as he passed the reports he brought with them.

Cao Junye and Wang Lei were reading the reports on hand. There were photos of overgrown plants. Some of them were rare types such as Venus flytrap, pitcher plants, bird vines and blood vines. These kinds of plants were not supposed to exist in their country.

"How could these kinds of plants exist?" murmured Wang Lei.

Ximen Xueya took his son from his husband who was busy reading reports to avoid him from bothering him.

"These types of plants could be collected by special types of people. It might have mutated like animals as well." answered Wang Lei's question while Xueya looked at his son playing with him.

"Son, daddy and father have work. Could you play with Oreo and Uncle Yue for awhile?" asked Xueya with a doting smile on his face.

Chino looked at his daddy, then at his father, lastly to his Uncle Wang. Seeing that none of them have time to play with him and he's bored staying in the room with only adults inside.

"Okay~ Chi-chan will look for Oreo with Uncle Yue but Chi-chan wants to go into the forest too!"

Hearing this Cao Junye laughs, their child really likes fighting and dangerous things the most. He also doesn't like boredom but doesn't react or do things beyond the norm just to have fun like his daddy. He has a self restrained yet a bit playful personality which he inherited from his father and daddy as well.

Cao Junye gently ruffled his son's hair and said, "Hahaha~ okay! Father promised to bring our baby to the forest."

Chino gives his father a kiss smooched on his cheeks. "Thank you father!" Then he saw his daddy smiling at him and gave him a kiss as well before running out the room to play with his dog and his Uncle Yue.

After the child left the room the adults inside had resumed their conversation. But Ximen Xueya noticed Yun Suisen's eyes lingered longer at his son the most.

"Yun Suisen. Is there something wrong?" asked Ximen Xueya.

Yun Suisen looked at Ximen Xueya and smiled, "It's nothing Leader Ximen. I just thought that the child looked so cute."

A beautiful yet chilling smile appeared on Ximen Xueya's face. But only those who know his personality know what the meaning of that smile is. It is a clear warning of death. Wang Lei and Shi Moye shivered unconsciously while Yun Suisen's face paled and instantly pleaded for mercy which Xueya half-heartedly accepted.

Seeing this expression on his wife's face, Cao Junye knew that Yun Suisen used to be Ximen Xueya's subordinate but why is the latter acting like this as if they've got into a bad argument.

"Finish the report. I want it done before lunch. We will leave in the afternoon. Everyone in this room is going. Leave the base to Uncle Sun." said Ximen Xueya, seemingly preparing to leave them to talk on their own.

Cao Junye asked, "Baby, where are you going?"

"We are going out for a picnic. I need to prepare food and snacks for our son." replied Xueya as he left the room without entertaining any more questions. 

He left the other four inside to decide the details of everything about the forest. He had already said his conditions, Cao Junye just had to make sure that what his wife had wanted would be fulfilled.

After an hour Shi Moye and Yun Suisen had left the Great General's Mansion. Inside the study, Ximen Xueya is looking at the pair who just came to them to report. Suddenly someone hugs him from behind. Well there is only one person who dares to do so.

Cao Junye said, "Baby~ you're in a bit of a bad mood just now. What's wrong?"

"Nothing much... But I am just sensitive to changes and to malice. Clearly that Yun Suisen is targeting our son. He needed that warning to know who would be angry if really did so." said Ximen Xueya.

A frown appeared on Cao Junye's face as if having an inkling of what his wife's words meant.

"Is he the last destroyer? But if he is, how come neither Zhi Yue nor Baize noticed his system?" asked the general.

Ximen Xueya replied, "Even I couldn't feel it. I thought it was Yun Ren who is supposed to be the last destroyer but the change in Yun Suisen just now is weird. What's strange is that Xiao Jing didn't approach him despite being close to him before."

"Then something is really weird."

"Yes."

The room was suddenly silent as the couple both stopped talking. But it didn't last long as Cao Junye chose to change the topic of their conversation.

Cao Junye spoke, "By the way, are we going to the forest because you wanted to bring home some blood vines and other rare plants?"

"Yes. Blood vines and Venus Flytraps are extremely useful for defense. Especially against small types of zombie animals like zombie rats and zombie birds. Moreover Liu Yan is a plant ability user and the plants under his command are all flowers. Do you want him to send carts of roses towards zombies during the siege?" said Ximen Xueya.

The General remembered how that foolish world hopper gave roses to the zombies after the blood rain and created a miniature rose garden as he ran away.

"This... could really happen. Sigh~ let's bring Baize and his host over this afternoon." said Cao Junye as he buried his face at the crooks of his wife's neck.

Ximen Xueya hummed a bit when he felt his husband biting and sucking at the skin of his neck and couldn't help but smack his head. Though the beast didn't stop there and even put his hands in his clothes.

Ximen Xueya complained. "It's morning. Are you insane!?"

Then the general had used his darkness ability to cover the whole study with shadow. Now, the room is separated from the outside world.

Cao Junye shamelessly responded, "Now it's dark. Baby~ Just one round okay?"

"No. Your one round equates to 100 times!!!" said Ximen Xueya who started struggling only for his husband to grab his chin and make him face him.

Suddenly his lips were captured, bitten and sucked. Now prying to be invaded by a soft yet warm tongue. Xueya firmly closed his lips, preventing Junye's tongue from invading his mouth. He was using his hands to stop those naught paws trying to remove his pants but his shirt was already ripped by this wild beast.

Ximen Xueya could see the slyness within his husband's eyes which is now completely black. His body starts turning sensitive with all the caresses on his body. They did this kind of thing everyday at night. They are a married couple, this kind of intimacy is normal for them.

But in this world his husband is more lustful than in the last world. Ximen Xueya couldn't understand why he is acting like this but Cao Junye isn't willing to say a word about what is wrong with him. In the end he still ended up indulging him before lunch. They've only met the rest of the people in the mansion during lunch.

Everyone's eyes were on Ximen Xueya's red marks and bite marks visible on his neck. But when they tried looking for more than 3 seconds small sparks flew towards their direction and could only see their general giving them a dangerous smile. Only the innocent Young Master wouldn't ask what happened between his parents and even heals his daddy.

In the afternoon.

At the base entrance a small group of twenty five members had gathered. There are familiar faces within them. Plus there is an extra baby with them riding on a huge white and black mutated Mastiff.

Leaders of the team: Cao Junye and Ximen Xueya

Vice leaders: Wang Lei, Shi Moye

Captains: Baize, Su Liye and Yun Suisen

There are other soldiers and few government officials that came as well to send them off. Most specifically they wanted to stop Ximen Xueya from going as well. Though it's undeniable that Ximen Xueya is a strong ability user that only General Cao could contend with, he is still the most important person in the base. Even a bit more important than General Cao.

When they wanted to talk to Master Ximen, a single cold stare is enough to shut them up and back away with tears. Only the retired General Sun is not scared as he reprimands Ximen Xueya and Cao Junye for bringing the child with them. After all, Ximen Chino is only three years old.

Old General Sun asked worriedly, "Are you really going to bring Xiao Chi with you? Can't you just let him stay here at home with me? It's so dangerous in the forest and some hidden elements we don't even know. Let him stay at the base!"

"No. he will cry if we leave him at home. Moreover A'Ye already promised he would bring him with us!" said Ximen Xueya.

"What!? Junye, You!!!"

Cao Junye ignores the maddening angered retired general who is scolding them.

"You worry too much, old man. Chino is already a level 4 Ice ability user. Plants are usually weak against ice and fire. He will be safe with Oreo with him. That puppy Mastiff is a level 6 mutated dog. We are not even going deeper in the forest just at the outer premises." said Cao Junye.

It was by then that Chino overheard that his grandfather Sun is stopping from coming with his parents out to picnic.

With his big adorable eyes full of tears he looks at the old general. "Grandpa~ Chi-chan can't go out for a picnic with daddy and father~?!" asked Chino..

Hic! Sobs~

The adults all looked at the crying Chino with a helpless expression on his face. They even glared at the old general as if he was bullying the poor baby. The piercing gaze from the crowd is too much but it's even more unbearable for the old general to see their adorable baby crying.

Old General Sun could only coax the crying Chino and agreed helplessly to let the boy join the expedition. 

Carrying the teary eyed baby in his arms, the old general coaxed. "Shss... Shss. Okay Grandpa agrees. Xiao Chi could join. But you cannot leave your daddy's side, okay?"

"Sniff~ O-Okay..."

Old General Sun said, "Okay go ahead and go to your parents." as he finally put down the boy after wiping his tears. "You guys. Put Xiao Chi's safety as top priority!" He said to the soldiers who were coming with them.

The soldiers saluted and collectively replied, "Yes, Old General Sun!"

Chino after he was put down ran off towards his daddy. Ximen Xueya carried the boy reaching out to him in his arms.

He naively whispered, "Daddy~ I did as you told me too. Grandpa Sun really agreed to let me come after crying."

Ximen Xueya responded, "Un. Tears are the most useful against elderlies who adores you~"

The conversation between the father and son weren't really done secretly and most of them even the old general heard their conversation. They were speechless by how Ximen Xueya teaches his son such a shameless yet extremely useful trick. Old General Sun's face was especially red in anger and embarrassment. 

Cao Junye murmured, "Two little devils~"
