Corpse Brother: From Calabash Brothers to Corpse Emperor

Let's go back to the night of the high school graduation prom, when the lights in the venue were flashing.

The music was melodious, and everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of youth.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaofei and Xiao Wei were dancing gracefully on the dance floor.

Their faces turned as red as ripe apples from embarrassment.

"Xiao...Xiao Wei, that...that..."

Bai Xiaofei stammered, his voice filled with nervousness and trepidation.

"Wait... I'm on the rooftop..."

Before he could finish speaking, he accidentally stepped on Xiao Wei's foot in his haste and hurriedly apologized:

"sorry Sorry!"

Xiao Wei couldn't help but chuckle, her cheeks flushing crimson.

"You're usually so agile, how come you become so clumsy when you dance?"

"Xiao Wei...I...I'm so nervous!"

Bai Xiaofei stammered as he explained, avoiding eye contact with Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei gently took Bai Xiaofei's hand, placed it on her waist, and smiled slightly:

"Don't be afraid, I'll teach you."

As the music started, Xiaowei patiently guided Bai Xiaofei through each of his movements.

The two gradually found their rhythm and began to dance gracefully on the dance floor.

Bai Xiaofei looked at Xiao Wei, who was so close to him, and could smell her faint fragrance.

My heart was pounding like a drum, almost leaping out of my chest.

After the dance, Bai Xiaofei took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say to Xiao Wei:

"Xiaowei, could you come with me to the rooftop? I... have something I want to tell you."

Xiao Wei was slightly taken aback, two blushes rose to her cheeks, and she nodded gently:

"Okay."

The two went to the rooftop, where the night breeze was slightly cool.

Bai Xiaofei's face turned bright red, his hands nervously rubbing together, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiao Wei.

"The moon tonight...the moon is so beautiful!"

He said in a trembling voice.

Xiao Wei glanced at the sky and burst out laughing:

"Idiot, there's no moon tonight."

Bai Xiaofei seemed to have his secret exposed, and waved his hands in a flustered manner:

"Huh? I...I didn't mean that! Xiaowei, stay here and don't move, don't move!"

Xiao Wei stood there, full of doubt, watching Bai Xiaofei run to the railing and start fiddling with something.

A few seconds later, Bai Xiaofei ran back, his face flushed with embarrassment. He lowered his head, not daring to look at her, and pointed to the sky:

"Alright! Let's all look up at the sky!!"

However, the sky was pitch black at that moment, without a single star.

Suddenly, the dark sky was adorned with countless bright lights.

Sparks streaked across the sky, exploding into dazzling patterns.

In an instant, dazzling heart-shaped fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

"BOOM!"

The dazzling light of the fireworks caught Xiao Wei's eye, and she was stunned.

She covered her mouth with both hands, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Xiaofei...you..."

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and Xiaowei looked down.

Only then did I discover that several large, dazzling English words had been spelled out on the ground by the firelight:

"I LOVE YOU".

Xiao Wei's shoulders trembled slightly, tears streamed down her cheeks, and she couldn't help but sob.

Bai Xiaofei knelt on one knee, holding a bouquet of bright red roses in his hands.

Taking a deep breath, I mustered my courage and began to sing "Xiao Wei":

"There was a beautiful little girl named Xiaowei..."

As Xiaowei listened to that familiar melody, her face turned as red as if it were about to bleed, and tears streamed down her face.

She covered her mouth with both hands, unable to stop herself from laughing and crying.

"Xiao Fei, you sang terribly..." Xiao Wei wiped away her tears and said coquettishly.

Bai Xiaofei grinned, handed the flowers to Xiao Wei, and said in a sincere and firm voice:

"Xiao Wei, be my girlfriend!"

"It's not like I'm proposing... why are you kneeling on one knee..."

Ugh! You ruined my makeup with your crying..."

Bai Xiaofei looked at her intently, his voice firm:

"I believe that day will come."

—Back to the present

The mutated Xiao Wei raised its claws and charged at Bai Xiaofei.

At the critical moment, Bai Xiaofei reached out and grabbed Xiao Wei's wrists tightly.

However, Xiao Wei was too strong, and she knocked him to the ground, pinning him down so he couldn't move.

Xiao Wei suddenly reached her right hand towards the axe in her left hand and raised it high above her head.

The axe blade gleamed with a cold light as it cleaved straight towards Bai Xiaofei's head.

Bai Xiaofei's eyes widened as he rolled around frantically, chopping the axe into the ground.

A dull metallic clang was heard, and the ground cracked as the impact.

In the midst of the danger, Bai Xiaofei removed his horse mask and shouted anxiously:

"It's me! It's me! It's Xiaofei!"

Xiaowei, wake up! Look closely, it's me!

However, Xiao Wei did not react at all.

Her red eyes were filled with endless indifference and killing intent; she couldn't hear a word Bai Xiaofei said.

She swung her axe and chopped at Bai Xiaofei again.

In a panic, Bai Xiaofei desperately dodged, not daring to retaliate.

He dared not hurt the girl in front of him, who was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Xiao Wei suddenly roared and swung the axe at Bai Xiaofei again, this time aiming straight for his head.

Bai Xiaofei didn't have time to escape and hurriedly used his hands to shield himself.

Using the Qi Armor Technique taught by Little Bodhidharma, he barely managed to block the fatal blow with his arm.

However, Xiao Wei did not stop her attacks.

With her other hand, she quickly grabbed Bai Xiaofei's arm and used great force to hold him in place.

At the same time, he raised the axe high again and chopped it down straight at Bai Xiaofei's chest.

"Why...why did it turn out like this!?"

Bai Xiaofei screamed in despair, his eyes brimming with tears.

"puff--"

The axe slammed into Bai Xiaofei's chest, and blood gushed out, staining the ground red.

Bai Xiaofei's body trembled from the enormous impact, and he was in so much pain that he almost fainted.

However, in that instant, he noticed a tear rolling down Xiaowei's cheek.

Tears...

Bai Xiaofei gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

"Xiao Wei still remembers me... She's still conscious!"

She must still remember me!

This discovery instantly calmed Bai Xiaofei down.

He forced himself to concentrate, knowing that everyone's lives were in his hands at that moment.

He cannot back down, nor can he afford to be distracted.

Xiao Wei hasn't reached the point of being heartless towards her own family.

That means Dr. Fish's medicine might still be effective!

But the potion is now in Luo Heng's hands...

He had to find a way to get it from Luo Heng.

"Xiao Wei... I'm sorry! To save you, I have no choice but to take a gamble!"

Bai Xiaofei gritted his teeth, dodged Xiao Wei's axe strikes, and nimbly slipped behind her.

He took a deep breath and used his internal energy.

He gathered all his strength into his palm and slashed fiercely at Xiao Wei's nape.

Xiao Wei's body stiffened, the red light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and she collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Xiaowei...I'm sorry..."

Bai Xiaofei knelt on the ground, tears blurring his vision.

He trembled as he held the unconscious Xiao Wei in his arms, holding her tightly with both hands, and sobbed silently.

But then his gaze turned to the one-way mirror above the Colosseum.

He knew that Luo Heng was watching all of this coldly from behind that mirror.

Bai Xiaofei wiped away his tears, stood up fiercely, and gently placed Xiao Wei on the ground.

He looked up, his eyes blazing, and shouted at the one-way mirror:

"Next, I wish to challenge the leader of the front lines! I wonder if you dare... to accept the challenge!?"
