I would deceive myself.

The pure white, small cat with bright, smooth fur lazily stretched her body and let out a "meow."

Taking advantage of the Disciple guarding the mountain gate not paying attention, the cat darted into the mountain gate with a whoosh and disappeared.

Following the direction in her memory, the cat stealthily walked towards Xiao Fan's palace.

However, she did not see Xiao Fan in the palace; instead, she saw an exquisitely beautiful and elegant woman sitting in the palace, cultivating.

Miao Xiaoqing looked at the beautiful woman with bright eyes, white teeth, and hair like a waterfall, and a hint of admiration actually rose in her heart.

As expected of Yaochi Immortal Palace, any woman here is an unparalleled beauty.

Unable to find Xiao Fan, Miao Xiaoqing prepared to conceal her Qi and wait there, but what she didn't expect was that the stunning woman she had just admired suddenly appeared before her eyes.

Jiang Lanzhi looked at the white cat in front of her, a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.

"Interesting, where did you run in from, little cat?"

Miao Xiaoqing's beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief. How could she have discovered me?

Before Miao Xiaoqing could react, Jiang Lanzhi pinched her by the scruff of her neck, lifted her up, and held her in her arms, gently stroking her fur.

Miao Xiaoqing's body stiffened. If this cat-girl doesn't show her power, you'll think I'm just a little cat!

She felt that with her Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, it would be easy to make a woman fall into an illusion.

There's no way she could be so unlucky as to encounter a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, right?

Therefore, her pupils flickered faintly as she activated her illusion secret technique.

But the next moment, she seemed to realize her mistake.

Ah?

No, you're really a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Jiang Lanzhi was also startled. So strong! This was actually a cat in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

She was almost deceived by her docile and cute appearance.

Jiang Lanzhi subdued Miao Xiaoqing, striking her down and forcing her to revert to her human form.

And that wasn't all.

Miao Xiaoqing knew she was no match and wanted to escape, but Jiang Lanzhi's strength was superior, a whole major Realm higher than Miao Xiaoqing.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal against a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Miao Xiaoqing didn't even have a chance to escape and was instantly suppressed.

Jiang Lanzhi looked at the woman with furry ears and a delicate face in front of her, and asked in a sweet voice:

"Who are you, and why have you trespassed here?"

Miao Xiaoqing meowed, "Meow, I didn't trespass! I came here to find someone."

"And who are you? Why are you staying in my master's palace?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lanzhi seemed to understand.

"Your master's courtyard?"

"Of course! If not my master, then whose master is it?!" Miao Xiaoqing meowed, her confidence increasing significantly when she mentioned her master's name.

She continued, "Quickly let me go, otherwise, when my master returns, I'll definitely tell him to deal with you."

Jiang Lanzhi understood; the master this fellow spoke of must be Xiao Fan.

However, deal with me? Your idea is certainly going to fall through.

Knowing that she was Xiao Fan's person, Jiang Lanzhi released Miao Xiaoqing. As long as she wasn't an enemy, it was fine.

Miao Xiaoqing thought Jiang Lanzhi was scared. She huffed, "Consider yourself sensible, otherwise, when my master returns, he'll definitely deal with you."

She did not argue with Jiang Lanzhi and naturally sat down in the palace, quietly waiting for Xiao Fan to return.

Feeling a bit bored, Miao Xiaoqing, being naturally friendly, started chatting with Jiang Lanzhi.

"Are you an Elder of Yaochi Immortal Palace? Why do you seem like a newcomer?" Miao Xiaoqing asked.

"I am indeed new," Jiang Lanzhi said.

"No wonder," Miao Xiaoqing said. "But why are you here? I remember that besides the master, the two Palace Masters, and that Goddess, no one else should be able to enter here."

Jiang Lanzhi became interested. She asked, "Then why do you think I would be here?"

Miao Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Lanzhi's beautiful face, which was exquisitely stunning, and her temperament was aloof and cold. She thought she must be the master's maid.

"Are you the master's maid?"

"If you think so, then so be it."

Miao Xiaoqing's heart settled. So she was just a new maid. Her status certainly couldn't compare to her own.

After all, she was the master's pet and toy; her status was not something a maid could compare to.

She said in the tone of an experienced person, "In the future, serve the master well. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and I'll teach you."

"Mhm, then I thank you," Jiang Lanzhi said seriously.

Miao Xiaoqing didn't expect this cold and elegant maid to be so easy to talk to. The master truly had good taste, even the maid he chose had such an elegant demeanor.

Miao Xiaoqing, in a sincere tone, told Jiang Lanzhi about Xiao Fan's various preferences and everything he liked.

She truly acted like a Senior.

When Xiao Fan returned, he saw Jiang Lanzhi and Miao Xiaoqing chatting happily, which he found somewhat inexplicable.

"Master, you're back, meow!"

As soon as she saw Xiao Fan, Miao Xiaoqing immediately pounced into his arms without a word, as docile as a kitten.

Although she was originally a cat.

"Master, your new maid is very nice, you really have good taste."

Xiao Fan said with some surprise, "Maid? Where did a maid come from?"

"Look, isn't she?" Miao Xiaoqing said, pointing at Jiang Lan Zhi.

The next moment, Jiang Lan Zhi said with a smile, "Husband, your hobbies are truly extensive; you don't even spare cats."

"Jiang Lan Zhi, I think you might have misunderstood. Things are not as you imagine them to be," Xiao Fan said seriously.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Fan felt that this time, his image in front of Jiang Lan Zhi was ruined.

Damn it, I'm really not a beast!

Miao Xiaoqing saw Xiao Fan's explanation and then heard the word "Husband." She realized something was wrong.

Even the Palace Master of Yaochi used to call the master "Young Master."

This cold and elegant woman in front of her actually intimately called him "Husband."

It seems, this is the main wife!

Hiss!!

It's over! I actually taught the mistress how to serve the master in front of her. Am I looking for death?

Miao Xiaoqing forced a smile, nodded at Jiang Lan Zhi, weakly left Xiao Fan's embrace, and stood quietly to the side, lowering her head in silence.

Xiao Fan said, "Jiang Lan Zhi, this is just an intelligence cat I raised. You have to believe me."

"Alright, it's not like I don't believe you."

"However, I'm a little curious, how many other women have you secretly kept behind my back?" Jiang Lanzhi said with a faint smile.

Her voice was soft and gentle, but Xiao Fan knew this was a fatal question!

Cough, cough~

Xiao Fan coughed twice and said, "They can't compare to you."

"So how many?"

"You know, I love you the most in my heart."

"So how many?"

Xiao Fan knew there was no escaping this.

He could only hold up two fingers to Jiang Lan Zhi.

"There are two more?" Jiang Lan Zhi asked. Adding the four women from Yaochi Immortal Palace, the cat, and herself, that makes a total of eight people.

"About 20," Xiao Fan said with an embarrassed smile.

Jiang Lan Zhi's expression froze, somewhat incredulous.

"How many?" she asked, stunned.

Jiang Lan Zhi was shocked. How many years have I been separated from you, and how did you manage to get 20?

Even if Jiang Lanzhi had a big heart, when she heard that number, her eyes went black.

Xiao Fan quickly explained to Jiang Lan Zhi, "Those were all mistakes I made by accident. From beginning to end, the only one I truly love is you. You have to believe me."

Jiang Lanzhi's eyes reddened, and tears shimmered in her beautiful autumn-water eyes, on the verge of crying.

What kind of situation is this!

Xiao Fan quickly stepped forward to comfort Jiang Lan Zhi. Jiang Lan Zhi resisted a bit, but still couldn't win against Xiao Fan and sobbed in his arms.

It took a long time for Xiao Fan to calm Jiang Lan Zhi's emotions.

He looked at Miao Xiaoqing with cold eyes. You little cat, how dare you make my woman cry! Just you wait!

Miao Xiaoqing's delicate body trembled. That domineering gaze reminded her of daily life.

Jiang Lanzhi looked at Xiao Fan with reddened beautiful eyes, her gaze complex, a mix of love and hate. She was clearly very angry, but she couldn't bear to scold him, letting him flirt around.

"Bastard, you bastard!"

"I shouldn't have believed your lies, I should have just watched you ruthlessly step on my jade feet... step on me!"

"..."

Jiang Lanzhi was cursing, but the harshest words were only "bastard, bastard." The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She had to make Xiao Fan realize his mistake!

Being able to find so many women means you're still full of Life Qi. Watch me take firm control of you.

Jiang Lanzhi pushed Xiao Fan down, completely disregarding Miao Xiaoqing standing nearby. Her expression was fierce as she tore at Xiao Fan's Dao robe, but her hands were very gentle.

She was familiar with the routine, using all her might, determined to completely occupy Xiao Fan's heart so that he would never want to find another woman again.

Jiang Lanzhi was also desperate, serving him to the utmost of her ability.

The shyness she usually displayed, the actions she would only comply with when Xiao Fan begged her, she now offered proactively.

Not only that, her expression was enchanting, no longer holding back her modesty, displaying an unprecedented charm and boldness.

She knew that the women outside would definitely try harder to please Xiao Fan than her; she couldn't lose.

Jiang Lanzhi was completely consumed by anger, and two lines of clear tears slid down her beautiful face.

Xiao Fan let Jiang Lanzhi vent, but when he saw the moment her lovely face shed tears of heartache, his heart suddenly trembled. That was the feeling of heartache.

He hugged Jiang Lanzhi tightly, kissing her, letting her feel his tenderness.

He panicked, and a sense of guilt actually arose in his heart.

After a long kiss, Jiang Lanzhi sobbed, "Husband, am I very bad?"

"Jiang Lan Zhi, you are the best woman in the world, without exception," Xiao Fan gently wiped away her tears and said softly.

"Really?" Jiang Lanzhi choked out.

"Of course, it's true," Xiao Fan said seriously.

Jiang Lanzhi lay quietly in his arms, enjoying Xiao Fan's affection at that moment.

"Husband, can you promise me one thing?"

"Tell me."

"I won't pursue the women who were involved with you before, but from now on, you're not allowed to have any other women," Jiang Lanzhi pleaded, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.

Before Xiao Fan could answer, Jiang Lanzhi continued, "Even if you do, please hide it from me. As long as you don't tell me, I'll pretend nothing happened."

"I'll deceive myself," she said, her voice a little humble, forcing a smile as she looked at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear.

"I promise you, I won't have any other women from now on."

"Mhm." Jiang Lanzhi smiled sweetly, her worries dispelled, and the world brightened again.

As long as she loves you enough, even if you make a huge mistake, she will deceive herself and make excuses for you.

Xiao Fan and Jiang Lanzhi embraced quietly. What a foolish woman.

Soon, Jiang Lanzhi realized something was amiss. She was in such a charming state, and there was another woman standing nearby.

Now back to her senses, she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it. She seemed to have acted impulsively just now, engaging in some indescribable things.

She hurriedly tidied her clothes, preparing to escape.
