Should a Vilainess snake eat a fox?

Blood Boiling Provocation

"No."

"Excuse me, what ?."

She finally came here to the main Hall just to present her hard work towards this gloomy black dragon, and he said what ?.

"*Shakes head* No means no."

".....*stares at him dumbfoundedly*"

"......*stares to the ground, avoiding her gaze while sweating*"

This..... She knew that this evil black dragon may have serious anger issues, and is socially inept, but... She never expected him to be such a child. How old is he now ??? Probably older than her by a couple of hundred of years judging by celestial aging standards.

So, why was he just so suspicious of trying this medicine paste that she has hard workingly made with her health on the line for the past month?! 💢.

He's a grown ass man who's far in his age to be picky about his medicine, he's not a teenager anymore. And wasn't he in such a hurry to procure a medicine for his illness so that he could compete with his protagonist half brother ?.

"Say, may you please tell me why do you not want to try and use the medicine ?. Do you want me to show you a demonstration first ?."

Shé Famei opened the paste container again, and applied a bit of the yellowish murky paste on to her arm's skin. She could feel the change of her body temperature and aura that matches that of a warm blooded creature. Something that made her feel very cozy as if she's using an extra hot patch after a long day of work.

"See this ?. It's not bad at all, in fact it is good for your health. Please try and use this first to quell down your cold poison whenever it acts up."

"*slowly stares at the yellow murky paste with a bit of a gag*"

"This... So... It's not medicine to be eaten? *expectantly*"

"Why yes. It's not for consumption, it's for outer use. (why does he think it's for eating???)"

"Oh... *ahem* then, please brought it closer towards here."

Shé Famei slowly walked closer towards the throne like chair that's he's sitting on. While still presenting the yellowish murky paste near his seat. But as she gets closer and closer, she doesn't get why he seems to be more and more unwilling to try out the medicine.

Why was he so unwilling though ??? It's just medicine.

"*hides his grossness after looking and smelling the paste at a closer distance* Ugh, this- this is really medicine, right ?."

"Yes, it is. I already told you about its properties before as I had given you some demonstration myself."

"You dare not to trick this one of poison and the like ?."

"Poison ?? What? No!. Why would I gave any of my delicious poison to you, dear customer ?. It would be a waste for something as good as that to be wasted on you !."

.... Somehow the black dragon felt that what she said was the truth, but he also felt that somehow she insulted him with those words. Um, it's not that he disregards her skills as he finally received all of the snake sister's information that Chengzhi has gathered.

It was said that it's true that Shé Famei was skilled enough to be admitted by many figures in the underworld as a very capable anonymous poison maker. Even Chengzhi the fox, who was one of the best pill experts in his arsenal and in the celestial world complimented her abilities.

Although the big shots of the underworld knew her name and location of her poison store, it is believed that the whole black market association of the Qin Port City agreed to protect her from harm of outside interventions. As if she had become a respected symbol that made the black market vow for a special code to honor and cover up her privacy.
