The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Xu Yiyu and the heroic woman in front of her named "Xu Renqing" stared at each other for about ten seconds. She also saw a hint of hesitation on Xu Renqing's face.

The white mist that had been flowing slowly around the two of them seemed to have sensed Xu Renqing's emotions. Countless wisps of mist gathered from all around with Xu Renqing as the center, forming a small white mist vortex around her.

The white fog avoided Xu Yiyu's position, but did not block her sight in any way.

Okay, okay, it turns out that the mist in the consciousness world that she, Xu, cannot name can be used in this way. She will try it when she turns around to talk to Tongzi.

"Grandma, do you want to ask me something?"

Xu Renqing, who was dressed in men's clothes, hesitated for a while, but finally asked this question after observing Xu Yiyu's expression.

"There are a few..."

Xu Yiyu didn't care too much about the name Xu Renqing called him. He just wanted to ask her a few questions that he was most curious about.

When Xu Renqing heard Xu Yiyu's answer, his expectation seemed to be responded to. He skillfully pointed in the direction of Xu Yiyu towards the white mist hovering around him, as if he was giving some silent instructions.

The white mist seemed to have understood her instructions and immediately gathered behind Xu Yiyu. Under Xu Yiyu's stunned gaze—

The result is a modern sofa with a recognisable silhouette and style.

"How could you..."

Xu Yiyu looked at Xu Renqing's completely calm expression and suddenly didn't know how to start.

A woman dressed in Ming Dynasty costume directed the white mist to form a modern-looking sofa.

She just felt that she seemed to have more questions to ask later.

"Grandma, you probably have a lot of questions for me. Sit down and talk. It won't be tiring."

Xu Renqing had no intention of changing his words. Xu Yiyu almost got used to calling her that in such a natural tone.

"……Thanks."

Xu Yiyu closed his eyes, sat down on the "sofa" without any hesitation, and said thank you out of habit.

Yes, the sofa is soft and very suitable for lying on it and relaxing.

The casual thank you seemed to remind Xu Renqing, who was still standing in front of her, of something. She raised her hand and scratched her nose with an embarrassed look on her face, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Xu Yiyu's gaze.

For some reason, Xu Yiyu looked at her expression and felt that she was a little...

Guilty?

Xu Yiyu looked at Xu Renqing's face in some confusion, and the question mark in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

Why would she feel guilty about someone she was meeting for the first time?

Could it be that...she and Xu Renqing have met before?

"Ahem, then I'll get straight to the point - who are you?"

Xu Renqing also "conjured" up a single sofa for himself with an embarrassed look, but when he heard Xu Yiyu's first question, his expression froze instantly.

She roughly and deliberately wiped the remaining tear marks on her face with her wide sleeves. Xu Yiyu could see at a glance that Xu Renqing was trying her best to remain calm.

"This question is... a bit complicated to answer."

"My name is Xu Renqing, and you should have guessed that this underground palace is my mausoleum."

Xu Renqing sat on the single sofa, tensed his back nervously, took a few long breaths, and finally stopped avoiding Xu Yiyu's gaze. As if he had made up his mind, he met her eyes.

——It was completely opposite to Xu Yiyu’s overly relaxed state.

"Excuse me, but after you saw me, you seemed... very nervous?"

Xu Yiyu became increasingly confused by Xu Renqing's attitude towards him.

Since the underground palace is her mausoleum and her territory, why would she be nervous when she sees an outsider like me?

Xu Renqing's resolute expression collapsed in a few seconds, and his facial features wrinkled into the bitterest bitter gourd at this question.

"Grandma, I already call you grandma, don't you really understand why I'm nervous?"

Xu Renqing gave an answer with a wry smile, the expression on his face was filled with the three words "let me go".

Xu Yiyu was shocked and recalled his previous guess.

Since this underground palace could have been built with the help of a system like this, then this woman in men's clothing who has never changed her name since we met...

Could it really be his future granddaughter?

If Xu herself can bind to the system, then why is it not possible for her future granddaughter to do the same?

However, there is a logic that still doesn't make sense.

"If I'm not mistaken, what you're wearing now is a gorgeous dress made in Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Then may I ask, if you are really my descendant, how come you appeared in the Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Yiyu's question seemed to hit the mark, and Xu Renqing's expression suddenly became even more bitter.

"I said I traveled to the Ming Dynasty in my dream... Do you believe it?"

As if he knew how outrageous what he said was, Xu Renqing's tone was even a little cautious.

The corners of Xu Yiyu's mouth twitched unconsciously. He looked into Xu Renqing's eyes, which were somewhat similar to his own, for a long time. He actually felt that her answer was somewhat reasonable.

The system has appeared in her life, so what if a time traveler appears...

It doesn’t seem impossible?

"Assuming that what you said is true, then since the underground palace is your mausoleum, how come you are here?"

Xu Yiyu pointed to the surrounding mist towards Xu Renqing, and a possible answer came to his mind.

"This is a photo prop. What you see is a trace of my consciousness. I haven't really lost my life. I just returned to my own era."

Xu Yiyu recognized every word Xu Renqing said, but when they were put together, she felt that it was no different from a fairy tale.

How could she speak so eloquently about such a major event that goes against the rules of time and space?

However, she seemed to have used the word "props" just now?

"So, you are also a system host?"

Xu Yiyu asked bluntly, his eyes fixed on Xu Renqing, who seemed to be sitting on pins and needles, not giving her any chance to evade the question.

"To be honest... yes."

Xu Renqing sighed, raised his head and looked into the mist where nothing could be seen clearly. He seemed helpless, but also seemed to be suddenly enlightened.

Suddenly, the feeling of being watched that Xu Yiyu had felt in the passage of the underground palace appeared in this space again.

Xu Yiyu subconsciously called out in his heart to his own son who had not been heard from for a long time.

——But no response was received.

"Well, I told you that it was impossible for her not to notice it, but you still didn't believe me."

In the chaos that Xu Yiyu couldn't see clearly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, as if it was talking to Xu Renqing.

Xu Renqing nodded, then lowered his head as if admitting defeat, as if he agreed with what the voice said.

Almost at the same time, in the mist that Xu Yiyu couldn't see through, a human-like outline gradually emerged, and was slowly approaching her and Xu Renqing.

Xu Yiyu narrowed his eyes. A certain premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. His eyes were fixed on the direction where the human figure appeared.

The answer that was about to come out seemed to be just around the corner from her.

Until the figure walked out of the mist and she could see the face clearly.

"I sensed aura from her that is the same as mine. How could she be just an ordinary person?"
