However, recalling how even Poison Douluo had failed to see through Juhua's disguise and had mistaken it for an ordinary kitten, Li Yuan guessed that Juhua was particularly skilled at disguise.

But just because trash Titled Douluo like Poison Douluo could not see through it did not mean Limit Douluo like Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu could not.

To be safe, he should still get to the bottom of it.

"That's right. After becoming a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, this cat gained two abilities it excels at most, and disguise is one of them."

"What's the other one?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"The other one... well, the other one is for running away." Juhua spoke somewhat sheepishly, then explained its abilities to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was left dumbfounded.

The world truly was vast and full of wonders. There was actually such a bizarre—uh, magical Soul Skill on Douluo Continent.

After evolving into a Void Orange Cat and becoming a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Juhua gained two new Soul Skills. One of them was the disguise Li Yuan had guessed about.

Juhua could perfectly conceal its aura. In theory, even a Limit Douluo would be unable to see through it.

Besides that, Juhua also had a Soul Skill specifically meant for escaping. How should he put it? It was somewhat similar to Brother Tu's Kamui.

Both turned their physical bodies intangible, making them impossible to attack. The difference was that Juhua's Soul Skill sent its physical body into the Void World.

Li Yuan did not know much about this so-called Void World. According to Juhua, it was a world that completely overlapped with Douluo Continent, yet existed within an illusory realm.

Once it entered that world, enemies on Douluo Continent would be unable to attack it. Likewise, it would be unable to attack its enemies.

In Li Yuan's view, this Void World was likely a world in a different dimension from Douluo Continent. Because they were in different dimensions, enemies could not attack Juhua. Even a Limit Douluo's attacks could not cross the dimensional barrier and harm Juhua.

From that perspective, Juhua was quite formidable. Before its Soul Power ran out, it could forcibly fight a Limit Douluo to a draw.

However, Juhua's own combat power was rather limited. It was more or less at the bottom among Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

With its current strength, it might not even be able to defeat Dugu Bo, the benchmark for combat power among Titled Douluo.

Thus, Juhua's strength was very difficult to assess. If used well, it could go head-to-head with a Limit Douluo; if used poorly, even a Super Douluo could crush it. It was rather remarkable.

Of course, after learning all this, Li Yuan was finally reassured.

Although Juhua's combat power was average, its survival ability was practically absurd. Its Soul Skill that entered the Void World could not only bring itself inside, but could even bring others with it.

In other words, if he brought Juhua along, Li Yuan's safety would be absolutely guaranteed. Even if he provoked a Limit Douluo, he might not necessarily die.

Thinking about it, bringing Juhua along to the human world seemed like a pretty good choice. The key was safety!

The smile on Li Yuan's face gradually turned sinister as he made the decision. "Alright, then Juhua will come with me. You lot, stay obediently in Sunset Great Forest. Don't worry. I'll come back to see you in a few years."

"That's right, brothers, just wait for this cat in Sunset Great Forest. Don't worry, this cat will miss you when the time comes."

Juhua did not forget to rub salt into its brothers' wounds. As it spoke, it smugly leaped onto Li Yuan's shoulder.

A moment later, the Soul Power fluctuations around Juhua completely disappeared, and it turned into an utterly ordinary fat orange cat.

Several Soul Beasts: MMP.

Alright, although Juhua's brothers cursed inwardly without end, there was nothing they could do to change it. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Juhua and Li Yuan vanished from sight.

Watching the man and beast leave, the Soul Beasts shed bitter tears. Li Yuan was gone. How were they supposed to live from now on?

Without a cook, what were they supposed to eat?

Suddenly, the second brother, Golden Lion, seemed to remember something. A crafty expression appeared on its face as it glared viciously at the third brother, Purple Gold Jade Face Fox, and threatened, "Third, you'll be cooking from now on. Any objections?"

"Fourth, I'm giving you an arduous task. You'll cook from now on."

In the end, the glorious and resolute task of cooking was shoved onto the fifth brother, Savage Baboon. Looking at the bitter-faced Savage Baboon, the three unscrupulous Soul Beasts burst into laughter.

This made the already depressed Savage Baboon feel that life was even darker than before. How was it supposed to get through its days from now on? Xiao Yuan, come back soon.

Savage Baboon shed tears of sorrow and longing.

"Ah-choo!" At the same time, Li Yuan, who had not been gone long, suddenly sneezed.

"Huh, what's going on? Could someone be talking about how handsome I am?" Li Yuan wore a shameless expression, looking exactly like his village chief grandfather, Duke.

Two days later.

Li Yuan was not particularly slow. In two days, he had already left the core region of Sunset Great Forest. At his pace, he would leave the boundaries of Sunset Great Forest in another day or so at most.

Li Yuan had long made plans for what to do after leaving. He needed to visit Heaven Dou City beside Sunset Great Forest. After all, he was penniless now. If he did not get some money, he would probably have to eat dirt.

As for how to make money, Li Yuan had already made arrangements. When leaving Sunset Great Forest this time, he had brought out quite a few valuable items.

The most precious of them were naturally Soul Bones, but those things were too valuable. If he wanted to sell them for cash, Li Yuan had to be cautious so as not to invite any trouble.

Moreover, Li Yuan did not intend to sell all the Soul Bones in his possession. He only planned to sell one Thousand-Year Spirit Beast Left Arm Bone.

Among Juhua's collection, this Soul Bone was not particularly precious. Selling it would not draw too much attention.

Besides, the value of a Soul Bone would never be low. The Gold Soul Coins gained from selling just one Soul Bone would be enough to cover Li Yuan and Juhua's expenses for a long time.

Besides Soul Bones, Li Yuan had also brought out many specialties from Sunset Great Forest, such as precious materials from Soul Beasts and Soul Beast pelts. Although these things were not as valuable as Soul Rings and Soul Bones, they were still worth quite a bit.

All things considered, Li Yuan had no shortage of valuable goods on him. He merely lacked a channel to turn them into Gold Soul Coins.
