Chapter 42: Bai Ning Bing Reveal
Loneliness is the Deepest Darkness (and Bai Ning Bing is its Rizzless CEO)
The rain was pouring harder than a Twitch streamer's sweat during a ranked grind. Fang Yuan, the ultimate sigma male, was cozied up in bed like "lol skill issue" while outside, NPCs were getting absolutely clapped by the wolf tide. The screams of Gu Masters mixed with wolf howls created a vibe so chaotic, it was like an Ohio Walmart on Black Friday.
Fang Yuan (sipping imaginary tea): "Hmm, yes. The sounds of NPCs realizing they're not him."
Bai Ning Bing's Villain Arc (No Rizz, Just Ice) 🥶
Meanwhile, on a cliff overlooking the disaster, Bai Ning Bing sat like a Discord mod waiting for someone to say something mildly interesting. Below him, Xiong Zhan's squad was getting folded by a Bold Lightning Wolf like a bad poker hand.
Xiong Zhan (panicking): "PLUNDER GU, ACTIVATE!"
The Gu: "lol no primeval energy."
The wolf responded by zapping him into a burnt chicken nugget.
The last survivor, some Bai clan NPC, looked up and saw Bai Ning Bing just vibing like a YouTuber waiting for ad revenue.
Bai Clan NPC (sobbing): "LORD BAI NING BING! HELP ME PLS—"
Bai Ning Bing (monotone): "Oh. You noticed me. Cringe."
Flicks finger. Icicle to the face. Insta-kill.
The wolf, confused but still hungry, stared at its meal getting iced before it could even take a bite. Bai Ning Bing sighed, pulled out his frost katana, and one-tapped the wolf like it was a tutorial mob.
Bai Ning Bing (yawning): "Wolves? More like walking loot boxes."
He looted the Plunder Gu off Xiong Zhan's corpse like it was a rare drop, then muttered, "This might be fun… for like, five seconds. Then back to being bored."
Fang Yuan's Sigma Grindset (Exploiting the System Like a True Gamer)
Back in the village, Fang Yuan was scrolling the Resource Board like it was Amazon Prime Day. His eyes locked onto the Three Step Fragrant Grass Gu—the ultimate zoomies upgrade that would let him speedrun the wolf tide like a TAS bot.
Problem: It cost more merit points than he had.
Solution? "Hmm… Bai Ning Bing is out there being unhinged. What if I 'accidentally' aggro a wolf pack into his vicinity…?"
Fang Yuan (smirking): "Nothing like using a chaotic neutral boss to farm XP for you."
🎮 Fang Yuan's Big Brain Play (NPCs = Free XP Farm) 🧠💀
Fang Yuan was BOOKING IT through the forest like a Tiktok trend going viral - trees ZOOMING past him like "BYE FELICIA" while his Earth Communication Ear Grass was twitching like a Twitch streamer's sub alert. Behind him? A whole pack of Ohio skibidi wolves malding HARD, led by a Bold Lightning Wolf built like a gym bro who only does arm day 💪.
Fang Yuan (sigma grindset activated): "LMAO these NPCs really think they can catch me?"
He hit 'em with the Stealth Scales Gu and straight up DISAPPEARED like a Discord mod when you ask for help. The wolves skidded to a stop like "AYO WHERE HE GO-"
Bold Lightning Wolf (VERY confused): "BRO WHAT THE SIGMA??"
Then Fang Yuan REAPPEARED 50 feet away doing the griddy like "L + RATIO + NO PRIMOGEMS" 😭😭
Bai Ning Bing = Very Weird
Fang Yuan led the wolf pack straight to Gu Yue Man Shi's squad who were already getting DOGWALKED by another wolf pack.
Gu Yue Man Shi (seeing Fang Yuan): "OH HELL NAH NOT THIS GUY AGAIN-" (PTSD from getting clapped in the arena)
Fang Yuan (dabbing past them): "Here's your DoorDash order: PAIN" 💀
Then he STEALTHED again leaving the wolves to aggro like "FREE BUFFET??"
Suddenly, outta NOWHERE comes a Bai Ning Bing looking like the final boss of an edgy anime - white hair blowing in the wind like he's in a Pantene commercial 💅
Bai Ning Bing (staring at Fang Yuan like): "You... you built different frfr"
Fang Yuan (not even looking up from his berry): "New phone who dis"
Bai Ning Bing started CIRCLING him like a feral cat who just discovered a cardboard box 📦
Bai Ning Bing : "You lonely like me... we should kll each other 👉👈"
Fang Yuan (nonchalant): "Touch grass."
Then BAM plot twist -
Bai Ning Bing (SCREAMING): "I WANNA KLL YOU! TYSM FOR LETTING ME KLL YOU! 💖💖💖"
Fang Yuan (sighing): "Most sane Bai clan member."
Bai Ning Bing (limiting himself to Rank 2 like a tryhard smurf account) started CHASING Fang Yuan into the valley where Gu Yue Man Shi was still getting COOKED by wolves.
Gu Yue Man Shi (activating Monolith Gu): "FANG YUAN YOU-
Fang Yuan (dodging wolves): "Cope + seethe"
Bai Ning Bing (GIGGLING): "IT'S UNALIVING TIME!!"
He then ONESHOT the Bold Lightning Wolf with his ice katana like it was a Minecraft speedrun 🗡️❄️
Fang Yuan (still unbothered king) led Bai Ning Bing straight to Xiong Li's squad and says "TAKE THIS PROBLEM CHILD PLSSSS"
nah jk Fang Goat would never disrespect anyone like that
Fang Yuan (yelling): "YO XIONG LI! THIS GUY'S GOT THE PLUNDER GU AND HE KILLING WITNESSES!"
Xiong Li (seeing Bai Ning Bing): "OH HELL NAH NOT THIS GUY AGAIN" (PTSD from earlier L)
Bai Ning Bing (HYPER): "MORE PLAYERS?? LET'S GOOOOO"
BATTLE TIME!!!
Xiong Jiang activated Roaming Zombie Gu—bro turned into a zombie (no rizz, just decay). Xiong Li used Grand Bear Gu—double bear strength, absolute unit. Bai Ning Bing? Just vibing, suppressing his Rank 3 cultivation like a streamer hiding their sub count.
Fang Yuan, spectating from the sidelines: "Boi is COOKED."
BAI NING BING'S SECRET (LORE DROP TIME)
Fang Yuan's inner monologue:
"Bai Ning Bing ain't just him, he's HIMothy. Northern Dark Ice Soul physique—one of the Ten Extreme Talents."
(Quick lore dump for the NPCs in the back: Ten Extreme physiques = 100% primeval essence storage, but the heavens HATE perfection. Bro's aperture is like a overfilled Hydro Flask—one wrong move and BOOM, ice apocalypse.)
Bai Ning Bing's life in a nutshell:
Clan's golden boy (pressure: unmatched).
Forced to suppress cultivation (Rank 3 primeval essence would explode his aperture).
Result? Sigma male death wish rizz.
Fang Yuan: "Bro's literally speedrunning life."
BATTLE TURNS CHAOTIC (IT'S GIVING TWITCH PLAYS POKÉMON)
Bai Ning Bing ices the healing Gu Master (critical hit).
Xiong Li malds, tries to sigma punch Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing tanks it (reveals Rank 3 Frost Demon Gu—OHKO's Xiong Li).
Xiong Lin & Xiong Jiang: "NOOOO! OUR KING!!"
Xiong Jiang, last stand: "I'll hold him off! SHADOW BOND GU ACTIVATE!"
Fang Yuan, watching: "LOL. Skill issue."
Then—BAM.
Fang Yuan moonblades Xiong Jiang's head off.
Bai Ning Bing: "GYATT DAMN—" (takes 10% reflected damage, starts bleeding from every orifice).
FINAL CHASE (AMONG US)
Fang Yuan chases Bai Ning Bing like a Tiktok stalker.
Bai Ning Bing, healing mid-sprint: "Bro's malding over a C-rank aptitude."
Fang Yuan: "Keep running. Your primeval essence recovery is cracked, but I got 500 years of rizz."
Bai Ning Bing, coughing blood: "What even does that mean... I'll remember this…"
Fang Yuan: "No you won't." (Activates Moonglow Gu—slices Bai Ning Bing's arm off.)
TWITCH BLOWS UP:
toenailcollector22: "FANG YUAN JUST BACKSTABBED HIS OWN TEAM? SIGMA."
gu_master_beta: "BRO USED XIONG CLAN AS BAIT. TOP 10 ANIME BETRAYALS.🐺"
xX_apex_fart_Xx: "BAI NING BING'S ICE MUSCLES? THAT'S SOME DEMON SLAYER CRAP. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ "
jammyt0astKimchi: "FANG YUAN'S RIZZ IS TOO POWERFUL. WHERE IS THE BALANCING."
