The words hit Akane like a physical blow.
Her golden eyes slitted, a single tear forming at the corner as she clenched her jaw so hard her teeth ground together.
A vein bulged on her forehead, pulsing with barely contained rage.
Her fox ears perked up, standing straight as her nine tails flared out behind her like deadly weapons, each one bristling with spiritual energy.
Her canines became visible as her lips pulled back in a snarl.
Spiritual energy erupted from her body like a volcano, the sheer pressure forcing Zhaoshenya to jump back.
The elven woman landed several feet away, her expression shifting from mockery to wariness as she quickly snapped her fingers. Green light flashed, and clothes materialized over her naked body—a flowing emerald dress that clung to her curves.
"HE IS MY HUSBAND!" Akane screamed, her voice raw with emotion as spiritual energy exploded outward in waves.
