You didn't say how you've tried to parsexml. Here is an example with XMLTABLE that gives you the excepted results:

with xmldata(d) as (select xmltype('
    
        gordon
        
            100
            
                 213
            
        
        

            Jl. jalan pelan-pelan ke Bekasi, Indonesia
        
    
    
        mark
        

            Jl. jalan cepet-cepet ke Jakarta, Indonesia
        
    
') from dual
)
select x.*
from xmldata,
     xmltable('begin/entry' passing xmldata.d
              columns
              last_name varchar2(10) path 'lastname',
              number_ number path 'NumberList/number',
              code number path 'NumberList/codelist/code',
              address varchar2(50) path 'address/addresslist'
     ) x
;

Results:

LAST_NAME  NUMBER_  CODE ADDRESS
---------- ------- ----- --------------------------------------------------
gordon         100   213 Jl. jalan pelan-pelan ke Bekasi, Indonesia
mark                     Jl. jalan cepet-cepet ke Jakarta, Indonesia

Hope this helps !
