Although the Shameless Snake was ruthless, Erniu could tell that he still retained a sliver of conscience.
Moreover, the man valued rules and made clear distinctions between gratitude and grudges, a point that Erniu greatly appreciated.
In Erniu's eyes, all those previous skirmishes were merely trivial matters, which he had long since stopped taking to heart before speaking so.
After all, turning an enemy into a friend was never a bad thing.
Upon hearing Erniu's offer to become sworn brothers, the Shameless Snake immediately agreed, and even though he was older than Erniu by an entire cycle, he began addressing Erniu as "Big Brother."
"No problem! From now on we're brothers, you're my own big brother!"
"Hmm, not bad," Erniu nodded, feeling that the Shameless Snake was quite agreeable. He continued, "As long as you stop committing evil deeds, as your big brother, I'll naturally have your back!"
