In Z District Base. At General Cao's mansion's courtyard, humans suddenly appeared as a group. They were all teleported outside the mansion. Everyone was shocked with what they had experienced of course especially for first timers like those people from the military faction.
At this moment even the old Lieutenant Ki couldn't help but curse.
"Fuck! What is this ability? Teleportation? High Level Space ability!?" exclaimed the old Lieutenant.
"This? Is this Master Ximen's ability?!"
"So amazing~ just how high is his level?"
Meanwhile the soldiers from Unit Alpha were all wearing proud expressions on their faces. The one being praised is after all their general's wife.
"Hehe~ Our madam isn't only a space ability user~"
"Our madam is beyond amazing~ but we won't tell you anything~"
"Really?! Is Master Ximen a dual ability user like General Cao!?"
No one in unit Alpha gives an answer but there's an obvious smile on their faces. The military faction believed that Master Ximen is a dual ability user like General Cao but only the people from the other side knew what is the real extent of their madam's strength. Just the difference of their levels among the rest is enough to leave the other people speechless.
On the other hand the father and son of Yun Clan were rendered shocked upon appearing outside the mansion all of the sudden. Unlike the other soldiers who were teleported with them, what they've received from Master Ximen is a warning instead but the surprise of these father and son are different.
Yun Lu upon seeing Ximen Xueya in the General Cao's Mansion: 'Tsk! My guess is right. Though I knew that the identity of General Cao's lover might not be common, who would expect it to be Ximen Xueya.'
Beside him Yun Ren is showing a shocked expression, he is acting like a puppet with cut strings. Looking dazedly towards the mansion with a face of dubiety. Only when his father Yun Lu had shaken him did he jolt back to reality.
Yun Lu asked worriedly, "A'Ren? Son, are you okay?"
"D-Dad~ W-Why is he...!?" asked Yun Ren as if he was shocked to see Ximen Xueya in that mansion.
"This... Dad also didn't expect it was him. Don't worry dad hasn't done anything against this person. He wouldn't make his move towards us unless... we made him angry. Let's just stay away from them in the future." said Yun Patriarch in comfort.
GYAA!!~~
Nevertheless, what the others didn't expect is to hear a scream coming from inside the mansion. The high tone shriek came from the ladies whom the elite clan members had brought with them to seduce General Cao. Their wailing brought fear from the people waiting outside the mansion.
S-Save me~
Please spare... spare us~ Aah!!!
The screams, all rendered who heard it terrified and staggering. Only the Unit Alpha who had lived with Ximen Xueya and Ximen Chino were used to it. They acted like they couldn't hear a thing and started doing their morning exercises like deaf soldiers.
The military faction had looked at each other before technically deciding to choose acting like their comrades. They've decided to join the Unit Alpha with their morning exercises and started running around the courtyard like not hearing someone's screams. They didn't even care whether it was a man's or a woman's scream. It's not like they could stop Ximen Xueya if he rarely wished to do something.
Seeing the soldiers acting like that, Yun Lu and Yun Ren took their leave quietly and returned to their own house.
---
Half an hour before the scream was heard even from outside the building. Inside the living room, the floor and walls of the place were covered by ice. This is Ximen Xueya using his ability to scare the guests. He heard and knew what these old men and women were planning on doing as he was watching the whole thing under the surveillance of System Yue.
Ximen Xueya knew they were here to try pulling Cao Junye on their side but he never expected that these greedy fools would stoop low enough to use a honey trap on his husband. Though he knew that his husband would never feel or feel anything towards these women. This doesn't mean he wouldn't get angry. Watching the whole time seeing these ladies giving his husband flirty gazes made him want to pluck their eyes out those sockets.
After forcing these guys to kneel before him, Ximen Xueya took a seat at the couch in front of her husband. He could see him giving a smile, this man is obviously enjoying the show. Even the old butler had acted like he hadn't seen a thing and served his other master with another set of tea.
"Master Xueya, please have some tea," said Uncle Wu.
Ximen Xueya accepted the serve tea silently as always. He didn't forget to give his husband a stare indicating that he cleaned the rest up. But who would have expected that the Great General would just shrug his shoulders indicating that his wife must do something about it. That kind of reaction from his husband made Xueya pouted. He intentionally released his control over those ladies and watched how his husband would act when these women started their scheming.
Feeling that unknown pressure fading from their bodies. The young ladies were silently surprised. Among the three ladies, only the young miss of Ki Clan had fallen on the floor like she fainted from all the stress and fear of suddenly meeting Ximen Xueya in this place.
As if all string on him were cut off her body had fallen on the floor without no one stopping her fall. She fell on the ground unconscious but the General nor Ximen Xueya had acted like they'd seen her faint like that.
Meanwhile the other scheming green tea bitches looked at each other before staring at the silent general not far from them. As of making decisions in their minds they've suddenly started making their moves.
The elders of Su and Pu Clans upon seeing what their daughter and granddaughter were about to do next had made their aged faces pale in fear further. They could somewhat guess what these women were about to do.
These scheming old men had taught them all kinds of ways how to make evil plans work in this kind of case. Bewitching or seducing some man would be easy but sadly they didn't know what kind of person the master of Ximen Clan or the Great General Cao were. If it was someone else it is, normal scheming would work but not to these two Gods in front of them.
They wanted to move but were unable to as Kotodama is in effect towards their body. The elders wanted to speak out and try stopping the ladies before doing some foolish things but their mouths were suddenly covered with ice without them noticing. These crafty elders had schemed their whole life but didn't expect to be unable to do anything at this kind of dire situation.
With their mouths covered in ice, the elders all looked at the beautiful yet cold man sitting on the couch not far from them. He sat with his long legs overlapping together and leaned his back languidly yet elegantly at the chair while watching the whole joke before him.
It was at this moment that Lady Su and Lady Pu had acted like bullied women and wanted to flirt with General Cao by jumping or falling on to him weak like those scheming green tea bitches in Mary Sue novels.
'This weak lady is getting bullied. Please save me~ Oh Hero~'
This is a common routine. Lady Su wanted to act like an intelligent (Bitch) beauty by seating next to General Cao as if she is something like an adviser. While the other lady is worse, Lady Pu wanted to hug General Cao's arms and let her big breast pasted on his skin. Secretly seducing him with her body.
But as if the two men had already known of their plans, General Cao watched the scene unfold as his wife suddenly teleported and appeared in front of the general firmly seated at his lap. That cold yet piercing gaze of him had frightened the two ladies like they had seen a ghost. Falling seated on the floor while trembling like newly born quails.
HIH!!!
Meanwhile Cao Junye acted as if he didn't see anyone else in the room and openly flirted with his wife. He wrapped his arms around his wife's waist and leaned his chin on Xueya's shoulder from behind. The general looked like he had expected this event and openly hugged his wife from behind.
Their position right now is so intimate that even someone straight would know that these two men had that kind of relationship. Especially seeing the great general who is famous for his strictness acting like a huge dog as he pleases his master.
Cao Junye even kissed his wife's cheek in front of everyone with a smile on his face.
"Baby~"
Ximen Xueya lightly pushed his husband's face near his after the kiss.
"Move. I'm not done yet with the clean up."
The two ladies were looking at the two men sticking together like conjoined twins with dumbfounded faces. They had heard about it, that the two were lovers or something. During the apocalypse it was already normal for male and male relationships to exist. This is because women were generally weaker than men, which made it harder for them to survive the trial.
There are some cases of ladies successfully finishing the trial and becoming an able user. But those were rare cases, which is why females are even rarer during the end of the world. This is also the reason why these women think that General Cao would choose them over instead of his male lover. As they could give them an heir while the male lover couldn't.
Lady Pu said, "General! I am a female! I could give birth to your heir for you. You just have to save me and I will become yours!"
"Is that so? Unfortunately, I already have an heir. Didn't you hear the news? Ximen Chino, my biological son."
Lady Su retorted, "Impossible! How could that be!? Young Master Ximen is Master Ximen's biological son. It is impossible for you to become his biological father. After all, the boy is an artificially made child made from Master Ximen's gene and another person's...!!?? D-Don't tell me!?" She covered her mouth in shock with what she realized.
Cao Junye replied with a smile. "Yes, Chino is my and Xue'er's son, after our genes had mixed during the process of insemination."
Lady Pu grabbed her hair as if she lost her only stray hope.
"No... no... NO!!!"
Lady Su remained silent the whole time after she realized that her worth as a woman is not even useful in this situation. She and Lady Pu were in despair as they've chosen to offend Ximen Xueya for a chance that General Cao would choose them. How rather unfortunate. What they didn't know is that the General Cao in front of them is no longer the original Cao Junye but Ye Xiajie who had successfully merged his soul. This is Ye Xiajie whose only obsession is only the current soul residing in Ximen Xueya's vessel.
As expected, Ximen Xueya is not really going to spare any of them.
Ximen Xueya said, "Since you're done with your struggles, let's end this right now."
His cold yet indifferent voice resounds in the room. The ice crawls all over the bodies of everyone from Elite Faction. Almost all the elders in the group had longed to accept their fate. They've remained silent and closed their eyes in preparation for death. After all it is useless for them to beg as Ximen Xueya wouldn't even lend them an ear.
Coming up from the legs crawling above their bodies until the whole thing is covered in ice, the elders of Elite Faction first turned in an ice statue and then after a few moments of being frozen everyone heard the sound of ice breaking. It continued breaking as the human ice statues turned to fragments. What surprised them is that these fragments slowly melted and turned to a blood mist as if the flesh and clothes were melted together with ice turning it into just blood.
The ladies were screaming as their hearts were full of terror and fear. Those men just now were talking to them a few hours ago. Now they had become nothing but a mere speck of blood mist. They knew it was their turn next.
Only that cold yet heavenly voice calms them in the last moment before the ice has fully covered them.
"Do not worry. It doesn't hurt."
In the end, except for the father and son of Yun Clan, every member of Elite Faction who visited had all turned into a blood mist. Not even a blood was left behind after Xueya had given them their punishment.
There's a short silence in the area. Until Cao Junye carried his wife in his arms as he stood up from the couch.
"Let's go take a bath, baby~"
Xueya just nodded his head and let his husband carry him away. He knew that just killed someone but as always he feels nothing as if what he killed is not a human at all. He closed his eyes to relax as his husband carried him towards their room's bathroom to take a bath together.
On the other hand after both his masters had left the living room, Uncle Wu who was standing by the corner had acted like he had seen nothing wrong. His face remains smiling the whole time as he wasn't affected by the events that unfolds in front of him.
But if one would look closely at him, they would have noticed that the hands he hid behind him were trembling a bit. After all this is the first time he had seen such a beautiful and at the same time clean death. Not even a trace was left behind except for the blood mist lingering inside the living room.
Wang Lei appeared at this moment. He pats the old butler's shoulder as if to calm him down.
"Uncle Wu. You should take a rest for a while. Leave the clean up to me." said Wang Lei as he controlled his Wind ability to make the blood mist dispersed from the room.
Afterwards they had sent someone to deodorized the whole room as the living room is full with the scent of snow and rust.
