Should a Vilainess snake eat a fox?

Every day is hard for a snake

Her days of being an agent under the information guild's name are not as smooth as her days of being a poison seller.

Often times her life would be in danger, and her safety is not that guaranteed. But the boss still kept her words, for the body guards that used to accompany her on her missions are truly skilled people. They did their job right. They fight when they have to fight, protect when they have to protect, and dispose when they needed to dispose. Until it happened.

On a mission where she had to pretend to be a passing snake to assassinate some mid ranking official's son, one of the body guards that came with her ratted her out.

That body guard betrayed the guild and turns out to be the enemy's spy. Shé Famei was beaten in her snake form, and a part of her scales sre burned by the enemy guards using their torches. She managed to somehow escape after successfully biting some of the people there.

She was beaten so badly that she had to consume an invigorating pill to keep herself awake in order to not let herself die, and find a way to escape the situation with her life still in tact.

At the time, there are 2 body guards that came with her for that mission. One of them betrayed her, while the other helped her get out of that place with the cost of one of their eyes. Though she was confused as to how the body guard could even find her when she herself slithered away to a secluded forest.

She didn't know what happened before she blacked out. But when she's awake, she was already back inside the guild's room with the smell of heavy wound covering medicine around her bed. Many parts of her body are bandaged, and there was an incense with a calming scent around the room.

She felt as if her body is ripped to pieces. Since the anesthetic medicine that they made her ingest, didn't work that well due to the condition of her body. Remember, like Shé Baihua, her body also has a special condition. She is immune to all kinds of poison, but that also means that ordinary medicine won't work on her. Poison and medicine alike, even the effects of the most potent potion will feel like some fizzy drink to her. Which is why she needs some alternative way to heal, and that is to go to the demon world and find a professional demonic doctor or get those OP healing artifacts from the celestials.

When she was injured, she was already working for a year with the guild, maybe because of that, the body guard who protected her to the point of losing an eye thought that she was an important asset to the guild. Why else would someone even protect and ensure her safety then ?. She doesn't get why that bastard of a traitor specifically targeted her back then. She didn't even know em that well. They even had masks on for God's sake, how could she even know, let alone offend who that fucker was??.

Nonetheless, everyone thought that it's a miracle for her to be alive. But she needs a long time to get back to normal. She needs much, much, and much time to restore her health. So much that Shiròu Niǎo, the boss lady decided to take her to the demonic realm for recuperation. They made their preparations for a few weeks before going there after Shé Famei can finally walk a bit.

Shiròu Niao handled the matter of tracking down and disposing the traitor to her right hand man. The body guard who protected Shé Famei at that time was also not forgotten. Shé Famei thought that the body guard was a male since they look so burly with their mask on. Turns out, it was actually a female demon. She was a bull demon actually. No wonder she was so big, burly, and tall. But nonetheless Shé Famei thanked the body guard gratefully. She swore that if the guard needs anything from her, starting from medicine to poison, she will give it to them for free of charge.

The body guard said that she's just doing her job as a body guard. Though she will only request for medicine to take care of her broken eye from time to time. Which was granted absolute permission from the guild master, as it seems that the body guard's loyalty has earned them a higher ranking position within the guild.
