A shame or a relief? He did not want to put anyone in such a precarious position, even a powerful snake demon. The things the Medicine Seller has encountered... they were not hardships he would wish anyone else to carry.
Moreover, he doubts Shen Yuan's husband would be as accommodating to him as he was his most favoured consort - especially if he knew of the Medicine Seller's true nature. He'd probably take his presence as a challenge, however much the Medicine Seller was not interested in violence, and certainly not to whatever dick-waving contest Lord Luo Binghe might try to drag him into. He knows the type; the only way to win that game is to just not play.
"Perhaps this snake demon will be brought here...?" he answers vaguely, hoping it will put Shen Yuan at ease. "I am fond of serpents."
Like moths and butterflies, they too were symbols of rebirth. Moreover, their association with both poison and medicine always tickled his fancy.
