The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Xu Yiyu stared blankly at the figure walking out of the white mist and almost cried out.

It was a face she was very familiar with.

But there are some subtle differences from that face.

“…Tongzi?”

Xu Yiyu just felt a little bit of difficulty in his throat and uttered these two words with some difficulty.

The boy, no, young man, who looked similar to his own son, glanced at Xu Yiyu who was sitting on the sofa, raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, and turned his gaze to Xu Renqing.

"Host, she seems to be much more perceptive than you, who is also a system host."

"...Don't complain about me in front of my elders! We agreed on that before!"

Xu Renqing glanced at his own system and said something unhappily.

It took Xu Yiyu some time to digest the fantastic scene before him, and it took him a long time to find his voice again.

"You are my good granddaughter, no, Xu Renqing's system?"

"Yes, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

The young man, whose skin was faintly glowing, stroked his chest with his hand and bowed to Xu Yiyu in a gentlemanly manner.

——That’s not quite right.

Xu Yiyu looked at Tongzi's face for a long time as if it was an enlarged version of his own son, and three words slowly emerged in his mind.

Although they are very similar, compared with his own Tongzi, this entity, who is a young man, seems to have something more.

A question came out of her mouth uncontrollably, and by the time her mind came to her senses, it was already too late to take it back.

"That feeling of being spied on that I felt from time to time in the underground palace...was it you?"

"I'm extremely sorry if this made you feel uncomfortable, it was not intentional."

The young-looking System spoke in a semi-literate and semi-vernacular style, which made him more like an ancient Chinese than Xu Renqing.

But when the young man gave his answer, before Xu Yiyu could react, Xu Renqing on the side got furious first.

Xu Renqing jumped up from the single sofa, rushed to the young man in a few steps, and then took action without hesitation -

He directly "pinched" the young man's shoulders.

"Okay, no wonder you were so secretive before, Tongzi, and refused to let me see who entered the underground palace. So this is what you were planning!"

Xu Renqing shook the young man's body back and forth in this awkward position, and it didn't look like it was the first time he had done this.

"If I tell you in advance, can it still be called a surprise?"

The young-looking system's voice was not affected at all, instead it contained a hint of smile.

"What a surprise! You just want to make me have another black history. I don't know you well enough!"

After shaking the young man a few times indignantly, Xu Renqing let go of the young man's shoulders with a bad tone and glared at him fiercely.

Xu Yiyu watched the conversation from a close distance for a while and also figured out some information from the conversation between the two people in front of him.

The young man in front of him was undoubtedly the system of Xu Renqing who had always called him grandma.

It had been secretly tracking herself and the treasure hunting team members since she, Xu, first entered the underground palace, but it did not share its perspective with Xu Renqing.

So this grown-up version of Tongzi has a somewhat malicious personality?

Although they have similar aesthetic tastes in appearance, they are nothing like Tongzi's tsundere and simple-minded personality.

Sure enough, there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same.

Xu Yiyu interjected at the right time, forcing Xu Renqing to end the "war" with her family system.

"Then you also helped her build this underground palace that combines many elements but looks a bit weird?"

Xu Yiyu's gaze swept towards Xu Renqing, who was still angry, but he asked the question to the young-looking system.

"Well... to be precise, this system is the builder of this underground palace."

"Ahem, of course, the project was completed under the wise leadership of the host."

The young man seemed very satisfied with the project he had completed, and seemed to be completely unaware of the implicit complaint in Xu Yiyu's words.

"Hmph! Grandma, you don't know, this guy is simply a money-eating beast. Although it is true that I asked him to help me build the underground palace, the counterattack points he extorted from me are particularly high. He is definitely a profiteer!"

After hearing the answer from her own system, Xu Renqing seemed to have finally found a reasonable opportunity to complain. She took a step forward and sat directly next to Xu Yiyu, and began to list out the various "crimes" of her system.

Originally, when Xu Yiyu heard her complain, he was still a bit interested in watching the show.

But as I listened to her till the end, some of the words sounded more and more familiar.

If Xu had heard correctly, the points stored in this system... were also counterattack points?

Could it be that this is a general term for the points obtained by the host in all systems?

The young man standing by did not feel embarrassed or awkward. Instead, he seemed to enjoy Xu Renqing's calling him a "swindler". He crossed his arms and quietly watched Xu Renqing complaining to Xu Yiyu, with no intention of stopping him at all.

Xu Yiyu even read a bit of... connivance in the eyes of this system???

Subconsciously raising her hand to touch her forehead, Xu Renqing noticed her bandaged wound because of Xu Yiyu's action.

The young man's system also noticed it.

For some reason, the young man's pupils turned into a chaos without irises and pupils for a moment. In the chaos, there were a few rays of light that Xu Yiyu could barely make out.

This state lasted only two seconds before the young man's eyes returned to normal.

Xu Renqing held up Xu Yiyu's injured hand and examined it carefully, but the young man's expression was completely different from hers.

"No, the aura that comes from you and me is becoming more and more obvious, especially the aura that escapes from your wounds."

The young man, in contrast to his polite and gentlemanly demeanor, frowned tightly, as if he was extremely confused about what he felt.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yiyu knocked on his own shoulders again in his heart.

But just like before, Tongzi, who had originally returned to normal, remained silent and did not respond at all.

Is it because two systems cannot exist at the same time in one person's consciousness world?

Xu Yiyu was no less confused than the young system, but Xu Renqing's expression was completely different.

She glared at her system with murderous intent, and her narrowed eyes revealed a hint of danger.

"I set those up to prevent intruders. As you know, they have a certain degree of autonomy, and I can't interfere with their actions."

The young man relaxed his brows, spread his hands to Xu Renqing innocently, and even blinked his eyes twice.

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Xu Yiyu's mind, and he finally knew where the black ice crystals that could emit extremely cold temperatures and the translucent crystal minerals came from.

Most of the questions in her mind seemed to be answered at this moment, but...

As for the most important question, she was not sure whether Xu Renqing or the system in front of her would give her an answer.

Xu Renqing gently put down the hand he had been looking at for a long time, and reached out to the system behind him without looking back.

"You have to fill the hole you dug yourself. If grandma's wound leaves a scar, you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"

Xu Renqing's tone was somewhat fierce, but Xu Yiyu could sense some other emotions from it.

——This girl, is she feeling sorry for her?
