Calamity Reimu's arrival came far sooner than Bai Zhi had imagined.
Early the next morning, just as Bai Zhi was squatting at the edge of a cliff in slippers, brushing his teeth with absolutely no regard for his image, the air twisted invisibly. Calamity Reimu and her group emerged from the warped vortex.

Just as Yuan Ci was feeling puzzled, the Green-haired Loli beside her stepped forward without yielding an inch, her face utterly serious.

With her arms folded over her chest, Anna snorted softly.
"A mere defeated opponent—so what if you've come..."
