Zhang Yuanqing summoned Little Doubi and the Ghost Bride, instructing them:
"You two guard this place. If anyone breaks in and tries to take the key, notify me immediately."
This was a necessary precaution. If someone really tried to seize the jade disk while they were inside the High Plain of Heaven, Zhang Yuanqing could learn of it in advance through his Spirit Servants and use the Teleportation Jade Talisman to return and stop them.
—Once the gate to the High Plain of Heaven closed, the Teleportation Jade Talisman would become ineffective.
That was because the Teleportation Jade Talisman was a Saint-grade item, while this space known as the High Plain of Heaven was clearly above the Saint level.
The Ghost Bride picked up the Infant Spirit and said softly:
"Be careful, husband. This humble wife will guard the entrance for you."
Only the Stop-Killing Palace Lord could not understand the spirits' exchange. Otherwise, wife, you'd be in for some suffering. Zhang Yuanqing glanced back at the graceful Palace Lord.
In the end, he softened and did not pursue the matter of the Nüwa Sovereign and his father's relic.
On the private jet to the island nation, Zhang Yuanqing had initially intended to put on a cold face and give her the silent treatment. But the Palace Lord was far too skilled at it. With playful banter and sweet, suggestive words, she coaxed even stone-hearted Zhang Yuanqing into forgiving her.
Zhang Yuanqing had not been buying it at first, saying coldly:
"I know what Musicians are capable of. Save that routine for other men, Palace Lord."
Resting her cheek on her hand, the Palace Lord gazed at him dreamily.
"But I only want to use it on you."
Zhang Yuanqing surrendered.
"Sweet words" were a passive ability unique to Musicians.
