"Lili!" A golden bolt of lightning teleported to Jiang Xinli's side.
"Bai Yao Star Master?" Seeing Bai Yao's snow-white hair fall onto Jiang Xinli's shoulder, his large, blood-stained hand wrapped tightly around her slender waist, Sheng Tianze's golden eyes abruptly darkened.
Reason told him that Bai Yao had saved Jiang Xinli, but a more primitive emotion was screaming and roaring in his blood.
"Let her go." Sheng Tianze's voice was dangerously low.
"Ah Ze." Only then did Jiang Xinli realize she was still in Bai Yao's arms, and she reflexively jumped out of his embrace.
Bai Yao's arms were suddenly empty. He subconsciously reached his hand forward but then abruptly pulled it back.
"Lili, are you hurt?" Sheng Tianze first checked her over, confirming she was mostly unharmed. Only then did he raise his palm, sending streams of golden light flowing from his palm toward Bai Yao's body.
His tone was polite yet icy. "Thank you for what you did just now, Bai Yao Star Master."
