The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

"Sister Yi Yu!"

"Mr. Xu."

From the first second he opened his eyes, Xu Yiyu's vision was clear.

She propped herself up with her hands, looked up and smiled at the two anxious faces.

"Sorry for making you worry."

Rong Yan, who had been calm and composed before, heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Even Lin Yi, who had not shown much expression until now, seemed to be finally relieved, with a faint smile on his face.

"Sister Yi Yu, you've been unconscious for an hour. If Brother Lin hadn't told me not to worry, I would really..."

Rong Yan's legs seemed to lose strength instantly, and he sat down on the ground. The glasses he had been wearing properly on his face slid down from his nose as he moved, and sat crookedly on the tip of his nose.

His mental state is on the verge of collapse. If Sister Yi Yu doesn't wake up, he will really go crazy.

Compared to Rong Yan, Lin Yi's reaction at this time was much calmer.

He squatted down slowly, raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, and closed his eyes as if he had relieved some psychological burden.

"I'm sorry, but I'm awake now. You can relax now."

Xu Yiyu observed his surroundings in this position and found that he was resting his head on Lin Yi's outdoor bag and had Rong Yan's coat underneath him.

The two men must have moved her after she "fainted" and let her lie under a more open staircase.

Looking up at the huge coffin several steps above, the strangeness in Xu Yiyu's heart became more obvious.

If Xu remembered correctly, the owner of the underground palace mentioned something in the memory that even she herself could not remember clearly.

There should be no body in this coffin.

Although the owner of the underground palace built this place under the pretext of a mausoleum, he himself did not actually die.

"Meow~"

A soft cat's meow sounded beside him, and Xu Yiyu felt a furry touch on his left hand.

Looking down, Xu Yiyu's eyes became a little gentler.

The black cat with emerald green eyes was rubbing her arm back and forth. When it saw her looking at it, it stood up on its hind legs and hugged her forearm.

"Xiaoye... is your name right?"

When she subconsciously said the name, the black cat's ears immediately stood up, and its emerald green pupils quickly raised an angle and looked into Xu Yiyu's eyes with a bit of shock.

When she saw the little guy's reaction, she understood that this must be its name.

"Sister Yi Yu, how do you know what it's called?"

Rong Yan raised his hand and roughly pushed back the hair hanging in front of his forehead, then asked in confusion.

Xu Yiyu glanced at Rong Yan, then at Lin Yi beside him, and then glanced inconspicuously at the young boy Tong floating in the air behind them, and gave his two companions an explanation that sounded a little bizarre.

"It may sound a little weird, but I just had a dream. In the dream... I think I dreamed of the owner of this little fellow. She told me this."

In order to make this already outrageous statement sound somewhat convincing, Xu Yiyu briefly recounted his encounter with the owner of the underground palace in the form of a dream, sometimes pausing to recall the details.

She herself didn't remember much, so it was difficult for her to tell the story.

As for how much Lin Yi and Rong Yan believed, that was their own business.

When Xu Yiyu finished the last word, Rong Yan glanced at the black cat nestled beside Xu Yiyu and remained silent for a few seconds.

Judging from the cat’s reaction to the name just now, Sister Yi Yu’s “dream” is probably true.

After all, I have encountered many things along the way that cannot be explained by common sense, so this one doesn’t seem to be very strange.

There was a flicker on Lin Yi's resolute expression, but when he opened his mouth he asked a question that Xu Yiyu had never thought of before.

"According to what the man you met in your dream said, Mr. Xu, this cat has lived for at least several centuries."

As if he knew how unrealistic what he said was, Lin Yi paused the next moment and shook his head slightly, as if laughing at himself for saying such a thing.

"Let's not discuss the rationale for its lifespan, which is several times longer than that of humans, but we didn't see any food along the way... How did it survive?"

Xu Yiyu was stunned, he lowered his head to glance at the black cat who was hugging his arm and acting coquettishly, and began to think about this question.

The life span of this little guy should be intervened by the system props, but normally... what does it eat?

The black cat's emerald green eyes briefly swept across Lin Yi's face. It must have understood the question he asked. As if to give him an answer, it let go of Xu Yiyu's arm, walked forward and bit Lin Yi's trouser leg, as if trying to pull him in some direction.

"Captain Lin, why don't you follow it? I personally think it won't be convinced by your words."

Xu Yiyu did not stand up either. He just pouted at Xuanmao, raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of teasing in his expression.

"……Row."

Lin Yi really wanted to get the answer to this question, so he simply patted his trouser legs and stood up, motioning for Xuan Mao to lead the way for him.

As a materialist, he really needed some evidence in front of him to convince himself.

Xuanmao loosened Lin Yi's trouser leg and walked with him in one direction.

Xu Yiyu thought that he had wasted enough time, so he didn't sit on the ground any longer. He stood up, picked up the coat that Rong Yan had given him from the ground, dusted it off, put it on his arm, and followed Xuan Mao.

Rong Yan glanced at the outdoor bag that Captain Lin had placed there, and did not choose to put it on his back. He quickly stood up and followed.

Black Cat has been their guide along the way, and he still has basic trust in this little guy.

The three of them followed the black cat and walked forward as if they were taking a walk. Xu Yiyu remembered something and raised his hand to touch his forehead where he had just hit the coffin, but his fingertips touched a smooth skin.

Eh? There's not even a scratch?

But Xu still remembers that the wall of the coffin she hit was very hard.

Black Cat did not lead the three people too far. He stopped at a fairly large pond and squatted down leisurely beside it.

Its emerald green eyes were fixed on the pond, as if it had spotted its prey.

Lin Yi stared at the things in the clear pond in amazement, not knowing whether he should be surprised or blame himself for not even thinking of this.

——In the clear water of the pond, countless kinds of fish that he could recognize and those that he couldn't recognize were swimming freely. Even though the black cat was squatting by the pond, it did not stop them from playing with their companions.

Moreover, there were not only fish in the pond, but Lin Yi also saw a lot of shrimps.

The entire pond seems to have formed a natural ecosystem, a world of its own without any interference from external forces.

Lin Yi subconsciously glanced at the black cat that seemed to glance at him from time to time, and understood the answer of this little guy.

——With so much food that I can’t even finish, are you still worried that I’ll starve?
