At three quarters past 5 PM, they returned to the mansion. Li Mai and Zhou Quan changed into ordinary cotton clothes and went to the small kitchen to start their work.
Most of the time, Li Mai would do the talking while Zhou Quan would do the actual work.
Surprisingly, Zhou Quan actually found some enjoyment in cooking at that moment. When his younger siblings complimented him and said that the two dishes he made were delicious, Zhou Quan smiled.
He felt that he could cook more for his wife and younger siblings in the future, since they seemed to really enjoy his cooking.
That evening, after the couple returned to their room, they tidied up, locked the door, blew out the light, and entered the space.
After Zhuzhu returned to town, she no longer stayed in the main courtyard with the two of them at night. Instead, she took Xique and stayed in the east courtyard next to Zhou Tao's room.
After going to the space, Li Mai handed a pill to Zhou Quan, saying, "Take this pill and lie down to sleep. When you wake up, those memories will be sealed away."
Zhou Quan responded and looked at the pill, asking Li Mai, "Xiaomai, with your current spiritual power, you'll be fine after I seal it, right?"
“No problem.” Li Mai shook her head. Sealing her memories was no big deal for her. At most, it would just consume more spiritual energy, but she would be fine after a good night’s sleep.
After Zhou Quan took the pill, he became drowsy. Before closing his eyes on the couch, he glanced longingly at Li Mai's figure rolling up her sleeves.
Noticing his gaze, Li Mai walked over, raised her finger and touched his forehead, and said softly, "Go to sleep, it's okay. When you wake up, you will forget all your memories of your past life. You are just Zhou Quan in this life."
Li Mai felt guilty. She hadn't thought of this before. She thought that he would become stronger after having memories of his past life, but she never thought that those memories might not be a good thing for him, but rather a bad thing.
Because he wasn't actually happy in his previous life.
Zhou Quan drifted into sleep, while Li Mai closed her eyes and focused her mind, her consciousness entering his sea of consciousness to search for his memories from his previous life.
Then, Li Mai discovered all of Zhou Quan's memories from the time he was born to his parents in Zhou Quan's sea of consciousness. There, she saw a cute little snake slowly grow up and, through its own cultivation, be able to conjure a second head, a third head, and eventually nine snake heads.
Then, through a thousand years of cultivation, he was able to transform into human form and even transform his nine snake heads into human heads. In the end, he completely transformed into a divine beast with the same appearance as his father and the same water and fire powers.
Later, his parents disappeared. He fought with other divine beasts and killed several of them who wanted to kill him. Because of his high level of ability, he could control both water and fire powers at the same time, which made the main god at that time wary of him. Under the pretext of punishment, the god took back his divine power and classified him as a ferocious beast.
Later, he left that place and disappeared. Later still, he called himself a strange beast and didn't like being called a ferocious beast because he could control himself from harming other divine beasts, spirit beasts, or strange beasts.
However, men and beasts alike continued to provoke him, wanting to kill him, obtain his ancient powers, and learn the whereabouts of his parents from him. He claimed that his parents had perished, but no one, not even a god, believed him.
......
As Li Mai watched the scenes one by one, she didn't find Zhou Quan's original form scary at all. On the contrary, she found it quite adorable to watch him slowly learn to walk after transforming into human form, to fall down, and to treat his own wounds after scraping his leg.
She also saw how others didn't believe him and wanted to hurt him, which made her feel very sorry for them. But those were just his memories, and she could only look back on them slowly.
After reading through all his memories from his past life, Li Mai understood why he hadn't awakened many of them—because those memories were sealed by divine power. Moreover, if she wasn't mistaken, the aura of that seal belonged to his father, the ancient divine beast Jiuying.
Li Mai came to the conclusion that his father, who was possessed by the Nine-Headed Serpent, was indeed not dead; however, he did not know where he was.
Zhou Quan's memories are very long and numerous. Li Mai began to continue sealing Jiu Ying's seal, sealing it little by little in stages.
Fortunately, she is a water-based ability user, and sealing away memories she doesn't want to remember is one of the healing abilities she has learned.
As dawn broke, Li Mai slowly opened her eyes. She had been standing by Zhou Quan's bedside all night, and by now her spiritual energy was almost depleted. Feeling somewhat exhausted, she stopped struggling and lay down beside him, falling into a deep sleep.
It was at the moment she collapsed beside him that Zhou Quan woke up. When he saw Li Mai lying next to him, he quickly moved back a little and hugged her tightly, afraid that she would fall to the ground.
Then, looking at Li Mai's face, he instantly remembered that Li Mai had said she would help him seal his memories of his past life before he went to sleep last night.
He sat up abruptly. Xiaomai's face was a little pale, a symptom of excessive spiritual energy consumption. He quickly raised his hand to transfer some spiritual energy, only to find that his own spiritual energy had weakened considerably.
He was taken aback. Could it be that the sealing of his memories also meant that his spiritual power had decreased?
He slowly lay down again, hugged Li Mai tightly, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.
This is a space rich in spiritual energy; Xiaomai can recover a lot of her spiritual power after a nap.
When Li Mai woke up, it was almost noon.
She looked around, but Zhou Quan was no longer there.
He got up and went out of the house, and saw Zhou Quan sitting in the courtyard cultivating.
Hearing the door open, Zhou Quan opened his eyes and looked at her. "You're awake, Xiaomai. Are you feeling any better?"
"Hmm, your spiritual power has recovered to 70%. How are you? Did being sealed in your previous life affect your spiritual power?"
"Yes, my current strength is about the same as Yun Chang's!" Zhou Quan shook his head. He had tried, but he couldn't use many of the superpowers he had read about in books because of his low spiritual power.
Now, his strength is not even half that of Li Mai.
"From now on, I will need my wife to protect me more!" Zhou Quan stood up, walked towards her with a smile, and said softly.
At this moment, he did not remember that he was Luo Ying, that he had been her teacher, that he possessed powerful and domineering superpowers, that he had experienced hundreds of thousands of years of loneliness, that he was Luo Ying, the son of the ancient divine beast Jiu Ying and Luo, and that he was now the only second-generation ancient god remaining in the world.
Now, he is just Zhou Quan, an ordinary farmer's son in this world. His specialty is building houses. After being injured at work, he was paralyzed in bed for more than two years. Later, he was rescued by his newlywed wife, Li Mai. Now he can stand up again, and his family's situation has changed because of his wife's business. Now he stays by his wife's side to protect her, does business with her, and earns money to support the family.
He has all the memories of this life, but the memories of his past life have become very blurry due to the sealing of those memories. He doesn't even remember how he awakened his spiritual power.
