Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Volunteering for the Task

What Divine Clan’s eldest daughter, in front of Xia Mian, she’s just dust in an instant!

Xia Weiyang isn’t even worthy to carry Xia Mian’s shoes!

Ding Cheng made up her mind, if Xia Mian is willing to take her out, afterward, she will treat Xia Mian like an ancestor, and for three generations to come, absolutely avoid offending anyone related to Xia Mian.

While everyone’s thoughts varied, the Space Gate was opening wider, and within the white mist, a path began to appear.

A look of joy flashed in Xia Mian’s eyes as she turned to call Song Juan, "Mom!"

Song Juan had long wanted to leave and had been paying attention to the commotion. Hearing Xia Mian call her, she immediately pushed the door open and came out, speechless at the suddenly appearing Space-Time Gate.

Even having experienced this once before, going through such an unbelievable scene again, Song Juan still found it incomprehensible.

"Can we go now?" Song Juan managed to suppress her excitement and asked with a hint of disbelief.

As soon as Song Juan spoke, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan simultaneously fell into silence.

They had figured out how to open the Space Gate, but they didn’t know where it led. This was their first time using it, so if the Space-Time Tunnel led elsewhere, it would be a big problem.

"I can help you test its effects," Ding Cheng volunteered, "Even if you fail, my death is better than all of you dying together."

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan were clearly hesitating, and Ding Cheng noticed it instantly.

Since they were hesitating, this was her chance.

If Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan were sure of success, they wouldn’t even have mentioned taking her along.

But with them unsure about the effect of the Invisible Door, her taking the risk meant they wouldn’t refuse her help or refuse to assist her in leaving.

After all, besides her, nobody else here was willing to be used as a test subject.

Xia Mian glanced at Ding Cheng and suddenly smiled, "I suddenly find myself admiring you a bit."

Ding Cheng chuckled softly, "It’s my honor."

Xia Mian gave Ding Cheng a meaningful look, then placed a talisman on her, "With this talisman on you, no matter where you run, even to the ends of the earth, I can find you."

After saying that, Xia Mian tossed another talisman to Ding Cheng, "This is a Sound Transmission Talisman. If you leave here successfully, you can use it to communicate within a thousand miles."

Ding Cheng received the tossed talismans from Xia Mian and mused over them for a moment, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll just run away?"

"You’re welcome to try." Xia Mian slightly raised an eyebrow.

As soon as Xia Mian said this, Ding Cheng felt an odd sensation in her body.

"What kind of talisman did you place on me earlier?!" Ding Cheng was shocked. She felt as if her body was not her own, manipulated like a puppet!

"Puppet Talisman." Xia Mian lightly curled her lips, "If you straightforwardly go scout for us, we’ll do everything to ensure your safety. But if you have any untoward thoughts, I can have you shattered into pieces at any moment."

As Xia Mian’s words reached her ears, Ding Cheng’s face turned extremely grim.

Indeed, Xia Mian was never one to be underestimated!

Playing mind games with Xia Mian would leave her dead!

Despite her sour expression, Ding Cheng was more intent on leaving this place.

"Miss Xia certainly has impressive means." Ding Cheng smirked wryly, "But rest assured, Miss Xia, I promised to scout for you, and I won’t go back on my word. Once I’m safe, I’ll inform you immediately."

A hint of a smile crossed Xia Mian’s eyes, "Of course, I am quite assured."

After all, Ding Cheng’s life and death were in her hands, and playing games with her meant Ding Cheng wouldn’t survive!

"Now, you may go." Xia Mian nodded toward the open door.

Ding Cheng became solemn, "Miss Xia, I’m just an ordinary person now..."

"Here, take this!" Xia Weizhang tossed a sachet to Ding Cheng, "A Protective Fragrance Pouch of the Divine Clan, it can save your life in critical moments!"

Ding Cheng disdainfully glanced at the sachet Xia Weizhang threw over, then tossed it back to him, "I don’t need it!"

What Protective Fragrance Pouch; if it were effective, Xia Weizhang wouldn’t have been injured alongside her when they arrived here.

Xia Mian’s gaze swept between the two for a moment, then raised her hand and placed another talisman on Ding Cheng, "Vajra Talisman, it’ll protect your body until you exit the Space-Time Tunnel."

Only then did Ding Cheng reveal a satisfied smile, "Thank you, Miss Xia!"

With that, Ding Cheng no longer hesitated, turned around, and leaped into the Invisible Door.

Ding Cheng’s figure quickly vanished within the Space-Time Tunnel, the open Invisible Door revealing a chilling breeze, penetrating with eerie yin energy.

Song Juan couldn’t help but frown slightly, "She won’t die, will she?"

Though Song Juan previously didn’t like Ding Cheng much, after getting bitten by a snake and receiving help from Ding Cheng—who helped suck out the poison and gathered wild fruits and herbs for treating the wounds—she had been seeking reconciliation.

Song Juan was never one to hold a grudge, having long since forgiven Ding Cheng in her heart.

"She won’t." Xia Mian replied softly, "I can still sense her presence."

Song Juan felt a bit more at ease hearing this, "That’s good."

A quarter of an hour later, Ding Cheng’s voice came through the Sound Transmission Talisman, "Come quickly; I’m at the back mountain of the Divine Clan, being chased!"

Xia Mian squinted slightly. Despite her lack of fondness for Ding Cheng, she had scouted for them, and letting her be cut down felt somewhat ungrateful.

As this thought flitted through Xia Mian’s mind, Xia Weizhang hurriedly leapt into the Invisible Door, "Cousin, we should leave this place quickly!"

Xia Mian lowered her eyes slightly, "Don’t try to act close with me!"

Xia Weizhang didn’t seem embarrassed, replying earnestly, "You’re Uncle’s daughter, making you my cousin, according to our lineage. Etiquette must be preserved!"

Xia Mian had no interest in forming relations with Xia Weizhang, turning instead to support Song Juan’s arm, "Mom, let’s go!"

With that, Xia Mian helped Song Juan through the Invisible Door.

Wei Wei and Ling Fei watched longingly as Lu Zechuan also stepped into the Invisible Door, and finally couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master, can we go with you?"

If they couldn’t leave this time, they’d likely spend the rest of their lives here.

But they had regrets, and didn’t want to be left unfulfilled for life, so they wished to go out and see.

Lu Zechuan looked down at them, "If you want to leave, you can."

Wei Wei and Ling Fei were of the Wood Clan, which was his maternal clan, and moreover, the two had inadvertently helped save his future mother-in-law. It was only right to help them leave if he could.

Wei Wei and Ling Fei’s faces immediately showed joy as they exchanged glances, not even bothering to pack their things before darting into the Space-Time Tunnel.
