Chapter 41 - Chapter 40: WINTER ARC PRELUDE

Chapter 40: WINTER ARC PRELUDE

🐻 XIONG SQUAD ROLLS UP (SKIBIDI DIPLOMACY MISSION)

Xiong Li stood on the mountainside, staring at Gu Yue Village like it was mid.

"GYATT damn, Gu Yue Clan fell off harder than my grandma," he muttered, watching the autumn leaves do the floss dance in the wind.

The Qing Mao bamboo stood tall and green, flexing on the other trees like, "LOL, stay mad."

Xiong Li's smirk dropped faster than a TikTok trend when he remembered Bai Ning Bing.

"Bruh, that Bai Ning Bing is built DIFFERENT. Rank THREE in two years? That's not rizz, that's HACKS."

His mood was more unstable than a Roblox server.

Xiong Lin, the baby-faced newbie with a low taper fade, tilted his head. "Yo, group leader, why we stopping? Gu Yue Village right there."

Xiong Li sighed like a boomer explaining memes. "We ain't here to scout, we on that sigma diplomacy mission. If we barge in, they'll think we are trying to fanum tax em."

Xiong Lin nodded like he understood (he didn't).

Xiong Li dropped the lore:

✅ Mission 1: Deliver the clan head's letter (boring).

✅ Mission 2: Investigate the River Swallowing Toad incident (sus).

"And NO starting drama," Xiong Li warned, side-eyeing Xiong Jiang, who was already malding.

💀 CHI SHAN VS. XIONG LI (they did not fight)

The two groups met outside the village.

Chi Shan, the absolute unit, flexed his muscles. "Xiong Li… you still coping?"

Xiong Li smirked. "Bro thinks he him. You lost to me last time, skill issue. Now where's Fang Yuan at? I heard he pushed a Rank 5 TOAD. That's not rizz, that's CRACKED."

Chi Shan's face turned redder than a Rank 2 Gu Master's belt.

🍹 FOUR FLAVOURS LIQUOR WORM FUSION

Meanwhile, in the secret rizz cave—

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged like a true sigma, surrounded by four wine jars:

🍯 Sweet (Golden Honey Wine)

🌶️ Spicy (White Grains Liquid)

🍋 Sour (Redberry Wine)

😖 Bitter (Bitter Shell Wine)

"Time to COOK," Fang Yuan whispered, summoning his two Liquor Worms.

The fusion process was more chaotic than a Discord VC:

Liquor Worms yeeted into the Redberry Wine.

Light show brighter than a TikTok transition.

Primeval stones tossed in like gacha pulls.

Wine jars swapped like a speedrun strat.

System Alert:

⚠️ FUSION SUCCESS!

🎉 FOUR FLAVOURS LIQUOR WORM UNLOCKED!

The new Gu worm was neon-colored, flashing red (spicy), blue (bitter), green (sour), and yellow (sweet).

Fang Yuan: "EZ, DPS is now multiplied."

🐺 WOLF TIDE PRELUDE (OHIO WINTER ARC)

Winter hit harder than a Sigma male moonblade.

Fang Yuan was out here solo farming crippled wolves like it was an MMO.

"Bruh, these wolves got more disabilities than my WiFi," he muttered, dodging attacks like a Dark Souls pro.

But the real issue?

No scouting/movement Gu = INSTA L if wolf pack jumps him.

Fang Yuan's Inventory:

✔️ Four Flavours Liquor Worm (DPS buff)

✔️ Moonglow Gu (Moonblade spam)

✔️ Jade Skin Gu (Defense meta)

❌ Stealth Scale Gu (MIA)

"If I don't get that Fish Scale Gu soon, I'm COOKED," he sighed.

💀 CHI SHAN'S COPING SESSION

Chi Shan cornered Fang Yuan in the snow.

"Bro, Xiong Li's looking for you. If you lose, the clan takes the L in negotiations."

Fang Yuan: "And?"

Chi Shan dropped a bag of 200 primeval stones like a Twitch donation. "Just dodge the fight, bro. For the clan."

Fang Yuan smirked. "LOL, free money."

THE LONE SIGMA

Fang Yuan walked through the snow, reciting:

"White snow blankets the land,

I travel alone through heaven and earth.

No attachments, just GYATT AND RIZZ."

Twitch Chat:

FangYuanLover69: "BRO'S BUILT DIFFERENT."

femboybeater222: "THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE POEM 😭😭😭"

🍷 LIQUOR WORM DRAMA 

Yao Ji wanted Fang Yuan's Liquor Worm for her granddaughter, Yao Le (B-tier talent, mid at best).

She is beginning to crashout.

Qing Shu (NPC negotiator): "Bro, just sell it. Granny Yao Ji's got that medicine hall clout. If you get injured in the wolf tide, she'll hook you up."

Fang Yuan (Sigma Grindset): "LOL no. Even if it rots in my hands, I ain't selling."

Fang Zheng (Annoying Little Bro): "Big bro, you're being petty! Yao Le's nice! Kindness begets kindness!"

Fang Yuan (Deadpan): "I don't need your understanding, NPC."

💰 VITALITY LEAF SCAM (FANG YUAN'S PRICE GOUGE)

Qing Shu: "How about selling us vitality leaves? My squad needs 'em."

Fang Yuan: "65 primeval stones per leaf."

Qing Shu (choking): "BRO, the clan sells 'em for 60!"

Fang Yuan (smirking): "Wolf tide's coming. Prices gonna SKYROCKET. Take it or leave it."

Qing Shu (coping): "You're gonna make enemies like this!"

Fang Yuan (shrugging): "I could die tomorrow. Don't care."

❄️ WOLF TIDE PRELUDE (WINTER ARC IS FINALLY BEGINNING)

Winter hit harder than a moonblade to the face.

Crippled wolves everywhere (imagine discount Ohio coyotes).

Mortals getting clapped (Gu Masters don't care, skill issue).

Fang Yuan farming wolves like it's an MMO (Stealth Scales Gu OP).

NPCs: "We're so brave! Clan unity! Friendship!"

Fang Yuan (internally): "Y'all are gonna get COOKED when the real wolf tide hits."

🏆 THREE-CLAN ALLIANCE (BATTLE MERIT BOARD ARC)

Alliance Slope Meeting:

Gu Yue Clan: Skinny nerds (but with Moonrizz).

Xiong Clan: Absolute units (GYATT dayum).

Bai Clan: Pale, edgy, probably into vampires.

Xiong Jiang (Roaming Zombie Gu user) vs. Bai Bing Yi (Water Drill Gu):

Xiong Jiang (tanking hits): "LOL, Shadow Bond Gu means you take 10% of my damage."

Bai Bing Yi (coughing blood): "Damn, outplayed. GG."

💀 XIONG LI VS. FANG YUAN (ANTI-CLIMAX EDITION)

Xiong Li (flexing): "Fang Yuan! 1v1 me, bro! Show me that toad-pushing strength!"

Fang Yuan (yawning): "I admit defeat."

Entire Alliance Slope: "…BRUH."

Gu Yue Clan (seething): "YOU'RE EMBARRASSING US!"

Fang Yuan (unbothered): "Cope."

🌿 QING SHU'S WOOD CHARM GU (GLOW-UP ARC)

Qing Shu (activating Wood Charm Gu): "Vines go BRRR."

Xiong Li (struggling): "GYATT DAMN, these vines strong!"

Qing Shu (smug): "Skill issue."

Fang Yuan (observing): "Wood Charm Gu's OP, but bro's gonna turn into a tree corpse if he overuses it."

🔮 FANG YUAN'S FUTURE PLANS (DEMONIC RIZZLER'S GRINDSET)

Stealth Scales Gu = OP for wolf tide.

Merit Board? Last place. IDGAF.

Real wolf tide coming? Let the NPCs cope.

Fang Yuan's Thoughts:

"Morals? Clan loyalty? LOL. I'd rather let the world down than be let down by it."

Twitch Chat:

🐺 "BRO'S GONNA WATCH THE CLAN BURN WITH POPCORN"

💎 "SIGMAS DON'T FOLLOW RULES, THEY BREAK 'EM"
