Should a Vilainess snake eat a fox?

Squashed Oranges III

Inside a nicely decorated VIP room, there sat a fox and a snake. Both who are smiling passive aggressively towards one another, as they tried their best to put their differences aside for business professionalism. Though well, it failed miserably.

"Have you enjoyed your stay in this room now, Mr. Fox?."

"Hmm~ what do I say? It's quite appropriate considering the inelegant snake themed decorations here. Though I enjoyed seeing the fox themed decorations that was placed on the receptionist room more."

"And who's fault is that to make my little sister bought so many useless stuff ?*Smile widening*."

"*Shrugs* I don't know what you're talking about as it is not my business to prevent a customer from buying the things that they like in my store~."

"I see. You are very annoying, you know that, right Mr. Fox ?."

"You're not the first one to say that. Be original with your words*eye roll*."

"💢Alright then let's get straight to the point."

"State your name, business, affiliation and request, dear customer. "

"Ah, you're a complete 180° when it comes to money huh. I guess I should've slapped some money in front of your face before annoying you earlier to get what I want faster."

"Oh so you do admit that what you're doing all this entire time is annoying me ?. *smiles harder*"

"Yes :p."

"Just state the requirements. And cut to the point, Sir.💢"

"*lifts hand in surrender* Ha'i Ha'i. Let me reintroduce myself formally. My official registered name is Li Shen Chéngzhi(利深成指). For that is the official name that I used for business transactions in here. Though to be honest, just call me Chéngzhi because it's the localization for my true Wakokunian name. Since Li Shen is also just an addition for localization."

Wow, his name fits his entire cocky personality very well. Especially the Chengzhi part for his orange hair. Or is it considered fur ??. It looks kinda fluffy actually even though he doesn't show off his tail. Huh, given that it seems he could change his identity freely and disguise himself like other foxes do, no wonder Shirou Niao could not find him anywhere.

Oh yeah, Shé Baihua wasn't lying when she said he likes to use a lot of perfume. Besides the hidden natural rotten odor of a fox, his body basically emits citrus flavoring. A scent that a snake like her really couldn't stand.

"*Writes it down* Next, your business."

"Hmm, you haven't introduced yourself to me yet Miss green snake."

"Who I am doesn't concern you. For I am just a poison maker clerk here."

"Oh really ?. You are indeed quite secretive and mysterious 'Not Miss Mai'. Should I just tell Shé Baihua what her big sister's secret prostitute stage name was-"

"Shé Fāméi."

"Excuse me, eh ?? did I heard that right ?."

"Shé Fāméi. That is my name, so just state your business and affiliation. Make this quick and don't ask."

Pfft, Who named her like that ?. Moldy snake ??? Lmao her parents are a menace. It fits her current darker green scales nicely though under the yellow night lanterns. Hmm, but this is interesting. Her scales looks darker than they previously are the last time he met her back then. No wonder He could not find her with the help of the intel division given that he said she has pale green hair.

"*snickers*Alright. As you can see from my attire, I'm a person from the land of Wakoku. I came here with my master in order to search for a way to cure him of his illness. Consider us as important merchants that held a significant amount of influence here."
