Night had fallen...
The gentle light was on in Erya's boudoir, and the sound of her humming a children's song could faintly be heard, but these songs were all prerecorded.
Inside the room, footsteps could be heard from time to time, all proof that Erya was inside.
But in fact, around nine-thirty, dressed in black nightwear, she had quietly slipped out through the side window, cautiously climbed over the wall, blended into the night, and disappeared.
The one left in the room to buy her time was the maid, Xiao Qing.
Erya did not know how much time she could gain for herself because in the evenings, the Great Serpent Chief sometimes sent people to deliver nutritional soups for pregnancy, at unpredictable times, sometimes they came, sometimes they did not.
If the soup was delivered again today, Xiao Qing would inevitably be exposed, and under the Great Serpent Chief's towering rage, the entire force of the Wild Serpents would immediately mobilize, launching a comprehensive search.
