"You mean you have a soul—?! Owww! Hey, no hitting!"

"I-I know, and I was just joking! AH, Ember, stop it!"

Ember, with her cheeks puffed up in discontent, continued to lightly pummel Fang's head. Although she wasn't hitting in earnest, as a god-level, her power was not something to joke about. Fang was feeling each hit!
