Giant Beast Forest...
After leaving the lakeside, Purple took Wu Yan directly out of the camp and into the Giant Beast Forest.
Without using the power of Gaps or allowing Wu Yan to use spatial teleportation magic, Purple held a parasol and strolled through the Giant Beast Forest as though she were sightseeing. Like a young miss out on an excursion, she was elegant and refined, yet invisible ripples of energy spread from her body.
Under those invisible ripples of energy, every magical beast within a hundred meters of Purple's path reacted as though it had seen its natural predator. With a miserable howl, they tucked their tails and fled in disgrace.
Watching this scene, Wu Yan, who followed Purple through the forest, could not help but feel deeply amazed.
As expected of the Yokai Sage of Gensokyo. Her methods were extraordinary, far beyond what ordinary demigod-level powerhouses could compare to...
This also strengthened Wu Yan's resolve to continue the Path to Demigod quest.
If he did not become a demigod, then so be it. But once he did, he absolutely could not be weaker than Purple!
To the current Wu Yan, Purple was like a guide standing atop a lofty peak, constantly pointing the way for him, who was still halfway up the mountain.
Though he had never said it aloud, Wu Yan had long regarded Purple as one of his goals!
One day, he had to surpass her!

"Purple, is it really okay for us to leave just like this?..."
"Worried about your little girlfriends?..." Purple continued walking
