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

Fan Mengmeng's heart was pounding.

This stone... She seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.

The stone felt cold to the touch, and the symbols carved into it were complex and unfamiliar, like some ancient writing, yet unlike any writing she knew.

A strange energy came from the stone, making her feel dizzy.

Could it be... that this has something to do with Teng Junze?

The thought flashed through her mind, making her even more uneasy.

Meanwhile, Teng Junze was confined to his room.

Outside the carved window lattice, sunlight shines into the courtyard, where flowers and trees are lush and peaceful, creating a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere.

But this tranquility could not infect him.

His thoughts drifted to Fan Mengmeng, the brave and strong girl in another time and space.

Ever since their last unpleasant breakup, his father had confined him to his house for disobeying his elders and ordered him to marry the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the city as soon as possible.

This was the marriage he had been resisting.

There is only Fan Mengmeng in his heart, and there is no room for anyone else.

He walked to the window, opened the frame, and took a deep breath.

"Mengmeng, are you okay?" He murmured softly, as if Fan Mengmeng was right in front of him.

How he wanted to return to the modern era, to be with her, to protect her and to accompany her.

But now he was trapped here and couldn't move.

In the ancestral hall of the Teng Mansion, Teng Junze's father was having a secret conversation with a mysterious old man.

The old man was dressed in black, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were sinister, which made people shudder.

"How is the matter going?" The old man's hoarse voice echoed in the ancestral hall.

"Everything is going according to plan." Father Teng replied respectfully, "It's just that my son..."

"I will personally handle Master Teng's situation," the old man interrupted him. "Remember, our plan cannot fail."

Father Teng nodded repeatedly, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He knew the old man's formidable power and dared not disobey him in the slightest.

In modern times, Fan Mengmeng took the stone and flipped through various ancient books and materials, trying to decipher the symbols on the stone.

She vaguely felt that this stone might be related to her ability to travel through time, or even to that mysterious evil force.

Xiaohong passed by Fan Mengmeng's desk, glanced at the stone in her hand, and said sourly, "Wow, what kind of treasure is this? Could it be a gift from a suitor?"

Fan Mengmeng ignored her sarcasm and continued to study.

She knew that Xiaohong had always been jealous of her and always tried to belittle her.

She didn't want to waste time arguing with her.

Finally, while browsing a book about ancient runes, Fan Mengmeng found a pattern similar to the symbols on the stone.

According to the book, this symbol represents "altar".

altar?

Could it be... She suddenly remembered that Teng Junze once mentioned that evil forces would hold some kind of ceremony at a secret altar.

Could this stone be the key to finding the altar?

"Mengmeng, let's have dinner together after get off work?" Master Lin appeared behind her at some point with a flattering smile on his face.

Fan Mengmeng suddenly raised her head, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

"No, I have something else to do." She refused coldly, holding the stone tightly in her hand.

"Wait!" She suddenly called out to Master Lin who was turning to leave, "Do you know... an antique appraisal expert?" Master Lin was caught off guard by Fan Mengmeng's sudden change, and his original frivolous look subsided a little.

"Antique appraisal expert? I know a few of them. Why, are you interested in antiques?" He looked at the stone in Fan Mengmeng's hand curiously, and felt that this thing was not simple.

Fan Mengmeng nodded, her tone a little anxious: "I want to ask an expert to identify this stone." Perhaps we can find more clues about the altar.

Xiao Hong snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Hey, this stone doesn't look like something valuable. Do you really need to find an expert to identify it? Did you get scammed?"

Fan Mengmeng was too lazy to pay attention to Xiaohong's provocation and simply ignored her, urging Master Lin to contact an expert.

Seeing that Fan Mengmeng was so serious, Mr. Lin did not dare to neglect it and immediately called an antique appraisal expert he knew.

At the same time, in the Teng Mansion Ancestral Hall, the mysterious old man had a gloomy face and knocked the ground heavily with the cane in his hand.

"Chief Teng, I hope you can deal with Young Master Teng's affairs as soon as possible and not affect our plans." The old man's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, which made Teng's father feel suffocated.

Outside the ancestral hall, Teng Junze's mother was wandering around anxiously.

She felt bad that her son was under house arrest, and was even more worried that he would be forced to marry.

Finally, she plucked up the courage and sneaked into the ancestral hall while the old man was away.

"Zer's father, why are you doing this?" Mother Teng's eyes were red, and her tone was pleading, "Zer only has that girl in his heart. Forcing him to marry someone else will only hurt him!"

Father Teng sighed, his tone filled with helplessness: "I'm also thinking about the future of our family! Miss Lin comes from a distinguished family. If we can marry her, it will be of great benefit to our Teng family."

"But..." Mother Teng wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Father Teng, "Okay, stop talking. I have made up my mind."

Teng's mother left the ancestral hall reluctantly, her heart filled with worry.

She returned to her room, took out an exquisite wooden box, and took out a jade pendant from it.

This jade pendant is an heirloom of the Teng family and symbolizes the family's power.

She held the jade pendant tightly in her hand and made a decision in her heart.

In the dead of night, Teng Junze was lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in.

"Mom?" Teng Junze looked at his mother standing at the door in surprise.

Mother Teng walked to the bedside and handed the jade pendant to Teng Junze. "Ze'er, take this and go find the Third Elder."

Teng Junze took the jade pendant with doubt, "Third Elder?"

"The Third Elder has always admired you, but he doesn't approve of this marriage either." Mother Teng lowered her voice and said, "Take this jade pendant, and he will help you."

Teng Junze looked at the jade pendant in his hand, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He understood his mother's intentions and was filled with gratitude.

The next morning, Fan Mengmeng brought the stone to the home of the antique appraisal expert introduced by Master Lin.

The expert carefully examined the symbols on the stone, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"This stone..." The expert paused, his tone filled with surprise, "The symbols on it seem to be..."

Before the expert could finish his words, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.

Master Lin opened the door and saw Xiaohong standing there breathlessly, "Fan Mengmeng, come back with me quickly, something happened at the company!"

Fan Mengmeng's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

She held the stone tightly in her hand, "What happened?" Fan Mengmeng looked at the stone in her hand. The rough touch unexpectedly made her feel a little relieved.

The symbols on the stone, like ancient characters, danced before her eyes, as if connecting two time and space.

For some reason, Teng Junze's figure became clearer and clearer in her mind. His deep eyes, domineering yet gentle tone, every frown and smile were deeply imprinted in her memory.

She realized that her feelings for him, like vines, were silently entwining her heart and deepening day by day.

"Something happened at the company?" Fan Mengmeng forced herself to focus back on reality, but a sense of unease welled up in her heart.

"Yes, I don't know the specific situation, but the boss is very angry and asked you to go back." Xiaohong's tone was anxious, but there was a hint of imperceptible pride in her eyes.

Without thinking much, Fan Mengmeng hurriedly said goodbye to the expert and followed Xiaohong back to the company.

As soon as I entered the office, I felt the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The colleagues all looked nervous and whispered to each other. The boss sat at his desk with a gloomy face. When he saw Fan Mengmeng come in, he slammed the table and said, "Fan Mengmeng, you are so brave! How dare you embezzle public funds!"

Fan Mengmeng was stunned. This sudden accusation caught her off guard.

She subconsciously looked at Xiaohong, but found that Xiaohong was hiding behind the crowd with a sinister smile on her face.

At the same time, in the ancient Teng Mansion, Teng Junze found the third elder with the jade pendant given by his mother.

The third elder is highly respected and has great prestige in the family. He has always admired Teng Junze.

After listening to Teng Junze's story, he pondered for a moment and said, "Ze'er, I understand how you feel, but the family's decision is no joke. However, don't worry, I will do my best to fight for you at the family meeting."

Hope ignited in Teng Junze's heart. He was well aware of the influence of the Third Elder. With his support, things might turn around.

He began to carefully plan how to use the information provided by his mother and the support of the three elders to propose the cancellation of the engagement again at the family meeting.

He knew it was a tough battle, but he had to win.

Under pressure from the mysterious old man, Teng's father became more and more determined to get the marriage done.

He summoned all the important members of the family and held a family meeting to prepare to officially announce the engagement between Teng Junze and Miss Lin.

At the meeting, Father Teng sat majestically in the main seat, exuding an imposing aura.

The mysterious old man beside him, holding a cane in his hand, glanced at everyone with gloomy eyes, which made people shudder.

The old man's followers stood aside arrogantly, as if they were sure of victory.

Several family elders whispered to each other with worried expressions. They knew what Teng Junze was thinking, but they were powerless to change Teng's father's decision.

Teng Junze stood aside calmly, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, waiting for the right opportunity.

He knew that this meeting would determine his fate.

But the modern Fan Mengmeng has fallen into an even greater predicament.

Her boss's accusations left her speechless and she realized that she had been framed.

She looked at Xiaohong's evasive eyes and a surge of anger surged in her heart.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that now was not the time to act impulsively. She had to find evidence to prove her innocence.

At this moment, Master Lin suddenly appeared at the company's door. He walked straight up to Fan Mengmeng and asked with concern, "Mengmeng, are you okay? I heard something happened at the company, so I came here to check on you."

Fan Mengmeng looked at the conceited rich young man in front of her and felt annoyed.

She said coldly: "Mr. Lin, I don't have time to care about you now, please leave."

Master Lin was angered by Fan Mengmeng's indifferent attitude. He took a step forward, his tone threatening, "Fan Mengmeng, don't be so shameless! I really care about you..."

Fan Mengmeng sneered and interrupted him rudely, "Mr. Lin, you're like a fly that can't be shaken off. It's really annoying."

Master Lin's face turned pale as he glared at Fan Mengmeng, "You..."

"That's enough!" Fan Mengmeng didn't want to argue with him anymore. "I have something important to deal with right now. Please don't bother me anymore." After saying that, she turned and left the office, leaving Master Lin standing there, his face livid, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes... Fan Mengmeng quickly walked to the company door, but suddenly saw a familiar figure...

Fan Mengmeng walked quickly to the company entrance, and Master Lin chased her out again, his face full of grievance and unwillingness: "Mengmeng, why are you always so cold to me? What's wrong with me?"

Fan Mengmeng stopped, sighed helplessly, turned to look at him, and said with a hint of ridicule: "Mr. Lin, you are like a fly that can't be shaken off, buzzing non-stop and making people upset. You are good in every way, but you are too clingy. I really have no interest in you."

Master Lin's face flushed red as he angrily shouted, "Fan Mengmeng! Don't be so ungrateful!"

Fan Mengmeng shrugged with an indifferent expression: "Thank you for the compliment, I'm just so ungrateful." After that, she no longer paid attention to Mr. Lin and left the company.

After getting rid of Master Lin, Fan Mengmeng immediately contacted the expert who had helped her identify the stone before, hoping to find more clues from the symbols on the stone.

Experts told her that these symbols were similar to some kind of mysterious ancient formation and might be related to a secret organization. They also provided a possible location - an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

At the same time, the atmosphere at the family meeting in the ancient Teng Mansion was tense.

Teng's father forcefully announced the engagement between Teng Junze and Miss Lin and ignored Teng Junze's objections.

The mysterious old man smirked sinisterly, as if everything was under his control.

At this moment, the third elder stood up and presented the jade pendant that Teng's mother had given to Teng Junze to Teng's father, and told him the story behind the jade pendant.

This jade pendant is an heirloom of the Teng family, symbolizing the family's honor and responsibility. Only the true descendants of the Teng family can own it.

However, there are doubts about Miss Lin's identity, and this jade pendant is the best proof.

Father Teng looked at the jade pendant in his hand, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

He knew that the Third Elder was highly respected and his words carried great weight in the family.

The mysterious old man had a gloomy expression and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Teng Junze took the opportunity to reiterate his position. He said that he would never marry a woman of unknown identity and asked his father to reconsider the marriage.

Father Teng was caught in a dilemma. On one side was the interests of the family, and on the other side was his son's happiness. He was unable to make a decision.

In the end, he announced that he would temporarily put the marriage on hold and make a decision after clarifying Miss Lin's identity.

Modern Fan Mengmeng follows the clues provided by experts and comes to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

The factory gate was closed and rusty, surrounded by overgrown weeds, and filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

Fan Mengmeng pushed open the door carefully, and a rotten smell hit her in the face.

The interior of the factory was dark and damp, the machinery and equipment had long been rusted, and some strange debris were scattered on the ground.

She looked around and found that there seemed to be some strange devices deep in the factory, flickering with faint light.

"Here..." Fan Mengmeng muttered to herself, feeling uneasy. She slowly walked deeper into the factory...
