End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times

The moment Fan Mengmeng's hand touched the entrance, she didn't feel the expected resistance. Instead, it felt like pressing against a soft membrane. She pushed slightly, but the entrance didn't open. Instead, it began to shrink. What had once been wide enough for two people to pass side by side was now only wide enough for a kitten. The flashing red runes grew denser as the entrance shrank, their light becoming increasingly dazzling.

Teng Junze frowned, caught off guard by the sudden change. He reached out to test it, only to find that the entrance seemed alive, nimbly avoiding his touch, as if deliberately teasing them.

"How could this happen?" Teng Junze whispered, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Normally, if they found the entrance, they could enter, but now the entrance had shrunk, clearly preventing them from entering.

He clenched his fists, a surge of Qi flowing through him, ready to force his way through. "I'll go in and explore the way first."

"Wait!" Fan Mengmeng grabbed his arm, stopping his reckless move. "These runes are very strange. Forcing your way through them might be dangerous."

Teng Junze's anxiety subsided slightly as he saw her worried look. Although he was a domineering person, he was not one to ignore the consequences. However, the entrance was right in front of him, yet he couldn't enter, which made him feel annoyed.

"What should we do? Should we just give up like this?"

Fan Mengmeng shook her head, her eyes fixed on the shrinking entrance and the flickering runes, her mind racing. These runes looked like some kind of restriction, but they didn't look like ordinary formations. Instead, they looked like... a prank?

A bold idea emerged in her mind. She took Teng Junze's hand, pointed at the entrance and said, "We won't go in."

Teng Junze was stunned and looked at her in confusion. "Not going in? Then how..."

Fan Mengmeng smiled mysteriously, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Let's retreat."

Teng Junze was even more confused, but he still chose to believe her and took a few steps back with her. As they retreated, the shrinking entrance suddenly stopped changing, and then... began to slowly grow larger.

Fan Mengmeng's lips curled up slightly. "It seems we guessed right." She took Teng Junze's hand and took a big step back...

As they retreated, the entrance gradually returned to its original size, and the flashing red runes softened. Seeing this, Fan Mengmeng pulled Teng Junze back until they were ten steps away from the entrance.

"Now..." Fan Mengmeng was about to say something, but Teng Junze suddenly shook off her hand and rushed straight to the entrance.

"I'll go in first!" He shouted softly, and with a flash of his figure, he rushed to the entrance.

Fan Mengmeng was startled, but it was too late to stop him. She watched helplessly as Teng Junze's hand touched the entrance, and then a powerful force pushed him back. Teng Junze groaned and fell heavily to the ground, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Teng Junze!" Fan Mengmeng quickly ran to his side and helped him up. "Are you okay?"

Teng Junze covered his chest, his face pale, "I'm fine..." He endured the pain and wanted to try again, but was stopped by Fan Mengmeng.

"Don't be so stubborn!" Fan Mengmeng said with a hint of blame in her tone, "Look at you, you're injured!" She carefully checked his injuries, her eyes full of heartache.

Teng Junze looked at her worried eyes, and a warm feeling rose in his heart, but more of it was annoyance. He was actually injured by such a small entrance, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Fan Mengmeng stopped talking and just silently treated his wounds.

Looking at Fan Mengmeng's focused expression, Teng Junze felt a strange emotion. This seemingly fragile woman always brought him unexpected surprises.

Suddenly, Fan Mengmeng's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something. "I know!"

She stood up and carefully observed the flashing red runes at the entrance. The arrangement of these runes was very strange, like a... combination lock?

Her heart moved, and a bold idea emerged in her mind. If these runes really were some kind of combination lock, then...

She took a deep breath and began to try to crack it. Teng Junze looked at her concentration and felt a hint of curiosity.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm..." Fan Mengmeng paused, "I'm unlocking the door."

"Unlock it?" Teng Junze looked at Fan Mengmeng, who was gesturing in front of him, as if he had heard something funny. "This entrance is formed by the power of the ancients. How can it be compared to a mortal lock? Are you crazy?"

Fan Mengmeng ignored his taunts, still intently studying the runes. Her fingers flicked in the air, as if tracing the runes' trajectory. "You don't understand," she said without looking up. "The arrangement of these runes has a hidden pattern, like a code. I feel like I can decipher it."

"Ridiculous!" Teng Junze snorted coldly, "If you really had this ability, you would have been famous long ago. Why wait until now?"

Fan Mengmeng stopped and turned to look at him with a firm gaze. "You don't believe me?"

"Facts speak louder than words." Teng Junze stood with his arms folded, looking like he was waiting for a good show.

Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath, stopped arguing, and continued studying the runes. She replayed the patterns she had observed in her mind, trying different combinations again and again. As time passed, Teng Junze's patience gradually wore thin.

Just as he was about to taunt her again, Fan Mengmeng suddenly exclaimed, "It worked!" Her hands danced rapidly in the air, and rays of light shot out from her fingertips, precisely striking the runes at the entrance. With the final stroke, the entire entrance glowed brightly, and the previously shrunken entrance expanded again, even larger than before.

Teng Junze was speechless as he watched everything unfold before him. He had to admit, he had underestimated this seemingly fragile woman. Not only did she possess an uncanny ability to understand the past and present, but she also possessed extraordinary wisdom and courage. He looked at Fan Mengmeng, a subtle flicker of admiration in his eyes.

Fan Mengmeng raised her eyebrows at him proudly, "Now, do you still think I'm joking?"

Teng Junze coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "Ahem, my eyesight is poor." He walked to the entrance and felt the energy fluctuations coming from inside. He felt shocked and expectant.

Fan Mengmeng walked over to him, and the two of them exchanged glances. Without needing to say anything, they both understood each other's feelings. Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and reached out to grab Teng Junze's sleeve.

"Let's go."

Teng Junze took her hand in his, and together they stepped into the entrance. The scene before them suddenly changed, and after a dizzying moment, they found themselves in a dim space... Fan Mengmeng subconsciously grasped the corner of Teng Junze's clothes.
