Zhang Gou'er felt that the Old Emperor's smile was even more terrifying than crying.
He swallowed hard. "B-Big Brother... I finally found you too. From now on, us brothers will eat well and drink well together! Big Brother... your hand is pressing on my head a little too hard."
The Old Emperor pressed down on Zhang Gou'er's head and burst into wild laughter.

"Can't you rely on your own efforts and survive in this world bit by bit?
"Look at me. I took one step at a time, inherited the late Emperor's throne, and only then did I finally reach where I am today!!
"And you? You just muddle through life waiting to die. Garbage!
"What a disgrace
