But Li Yuan did not care in the slightest. After letting out a satisfied burp, he started laughing again, the expression on his face growing even more arrogant.
"I'm telling you, Juhua, you—you'd better listen to me from now on, got it?!"
"Damn it, you Idiot Orange Cat, you actually dared to give me attitude and even wanted to make me your Human Pet?"
"Look how spoiled you are, with that sorry face of yours!"
"You little punk, you think I can't handle you? From now on, I'm the master and you're the pet, hear me?!"
As the saying went, wine gave cowards courage. Drunk Li Yuan was incredibly bold. He actually treated a Ninety Thousand Years soul beast that was close to a Hundred Thousand Years soul beast like an Idiot Orange Cat, holding it in one hand while venting his dissatisfaction without the slightest restraint.
"Meow meow meow?"
Juhua was also stunned by Li Yuan's aggressive manner. Only after a long while did it finally react.
Has my Poop Scooper gone completely insane?
He actually wants to stage a coup and turn himself into the master? If this Little Slave hadn't gotten drunk today, I never would've known!
Juhua had no intention of indulging Li Yuan's bad habit. Without another word, it broke free from Li Yuan's grasp, leaped in front of him, and prepared to give him a round of Meow Punches to wake this Little Slave up and let him know who the real master was.
Just as Li Yuan's handsome, delicate face was about to be ruined, Juhua stopped its attack at the critical moment.
"Oh no, that old poisoner is back!"
Juhua inwardly cursed. It had no time to teach its Little Slave a lesson. Its originally petite body rapidly expanded, eventually turning into a massive soul beast five or six meters long.
It glanced at Li Yuan, who was still spouting nonsense, gritted its teeth, and ultimately did not explode on the spot. It reminded itself that there was plenty of time ahead and that it would have endless opportunities to deal with this Little Slave.
Only then did Juhua bend down and pick Li Yuan up in its mouth—headfirst, of course.
Feeling as though he had started floating, Li Yuan found it somewhat uncomfortable. He did not hold back at all, directly flipping over and hugging Juhua's huge furry head.
"Meow?"
Juhua: (´・ω・`)
Juhua looked utterly dumbfounded and desperately wanted to throw Li Yuan off. However, sensing Dugu Bo's aura drawing closer and closer, Juhua finally suppressed the urge in its heart.
Its four paws left the ground, and its figure instantly vanished from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
A moment later, Dugu Bo appeared within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, his face dark and sinister.
Looking at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, now reduced to a complete mess, Dugu Bo could no longer maintain his previously aloof demeanor.
"Bastard! Who was it? I'll kill him! I'll tear him into ten thousand pieces!"
Along with Dugu Bo's piercing roar, emerald-green light burst from his body. Immediately afterward, his body expanded against the wind, and his first seven soul rings lit up at once. Then, within that jade-colored radiance, his tall, thin body began to swell continuously.
By the time the green light faded, Dugu Bo had vanished from where he stood. In his place was a gigantic jade-green serpent, its massive body thirty or forty meters long and as thick as a water tank.
Its entire body was jade-green, adorned with all manner of gorgeous patterns.
The enormous snake then shot into the air and gave chase in the direction Juhua had just fled.
It seemed that Dugu Bo was truly enraged this time. He had actually used the ultimate move that only Soul Masters above the Spirit Douluo rank could wield: Martial Soul Avatar.
Although Dugu Bo was only level ninety-one, making him one of the weaker Titled Douluo, his Martial Soul was still among the very best.
Dugu Bo's Martial Soul was called the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. In the world of Douluo Continent, it could be considered one of the foremost Beast Martial Souls, its poison unmatched beneath the heavens.
It was precisely because the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's venom was so overbearing that even Dugu Bo himself suffered from it. The snake venom had seeped into his bones, leaving his life hanging by a thread. He could only use the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes to suppress the deadly poison in his body, and under normal circumstances, he did not even dare cultivate properly.
It was only later, after he met the protagonist Tang San, that Tang San helped him dissolve the poison in his body, freeing him from the embarrassing position of being the weakest Titled Douluo.
Of course, even if he was among the weaker Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo's wrath was not something Li Yuan and Juhua could endure.
Especially now, when Dugu Bo was in a towering rage and had even used his Martial Soul Avatar, he clearly had no intention of letting Li Yuan and Juhua off easily.
If Juhua could become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast now, it might have been able to fight Dugu Bo head-on. But at present, it was still lacking.
Faced with Dugu Bo's fury, Juhua could only choose to run.
However, Juhua knew its limits and had no intention of throwing its life away, but that did not mean Li Yuan could swallow this insult.
If he had been sober, Li Yuan would not have dared face an enraged Dugu Bo even if he had ten times the courage.
But he was drunk now. Drunk Li Yuan was reckless as hell. Forget a level ninety-one Titled Douluo—even if Bibi Dong herself showed up in his current state, he would dare to take her head-on.
"Little Juhua, why are you running? Hey, I'm saying, why are you such a coward? He's just a level ninety-one Titled Douluo, and he scared you into this pathetic state?"
"Why don't you dare fight him?"
"I'm telling you, don't be fooled by how fierce he looks. He's actually trash. He's only level ninety-one. Round that up, and he's just a slightly stronger Spirit Douluo."
"Just a Spirit Douluo, and you can't even beat him? Trash. Take off your skirt!"
"I don't know about your temperament, but if someone kept chasing me like that, I wouldn't be able to stand it!"
Li Yuan was talking big without lifting a finger, hugging Juhua's huge furry face while endlessly spouting nonsense.
Juhua was so furious that it truly wanted to throw Li Yuan down and leave him here.
"Damned beast, stop right there! Watch me skin you alive today!"
This delay had narrowed the distance between Juhua and Dugu Bo considerably. Seeing that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Dugu Bo had transformed into was already right behind it, Juhua no longer had time to settle accounts with Li Yuan and simply lowered its head and sprinted forward.
But this made Li Yuan unhappy. Seeing that Juhua was unwilling to respond to him, and that Dugu Bo actually dared to act tough with him, how could he let that slide? There was nothing more to say—just fight.
If he did not take this guy on now, was he supposed to save him for the New Year? Li Yuan was not about to indulge him. He had to let him know just how formidable a Keyboard Knight could be.
