"Save me..." Lying in a pool of her own blood, Jiang Wanwan reached a trembling hand toward the dark figure.
Sheng Tianze raised his dagger, eyes blazing with fury, and lunged for her chest again. Halfway there, a gust of wind enveloped him as Bai Yao flashed into existence, blocking his path.
"Crown—" He stopped himself before saying the word "Prince."
"Sheng Tianze, stop!" he barked, feigning a stern tone. "She's an official, the Vice Lord of a star, and an interstellar A-level female! If you kill her, your life is over! Utterly finished!"
Even with his status as a member of the Royal Family, as the Imperial Crown Prince, he had the right to be pardoned for any crime in the entire interstellar Empire.
But if he killed an A-level female or higher, all his glory, wealth, and privilege would vanish completely.
It was an interstellar red line.
A line that no one could cross.
What worried Bai Yao more was the possibility that Jiang Wanwan had truly colluded with *Them*.
