Li Mai remained silent, simply gazing at her indifferently.
Zhou Quan quickly reached the bedside and obediently knelt in front of Li Mai. "I'm sorry, wife, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you!"
"Husband, what are you doing? What have you done to offend me? Is it really worth you kneeling before me? Get up! A man's knees are worth gold. Get up!" Li Mai was worried that her mother-in-law might come in and see Zhou Quan kneeling before her, which would upset the old woman. So she reached out to pull him up.
This man has been hiding a lot from me; he's acting so guilty.
"Then let's start by saying you're not angry!" Zhou Quan said cautiously.
"Okay, I'm not angry, you can get up now!" Li Mai smiled.
Zhou Quan then quickly got up, immediately took his wife's hand, sat opposite her, and recounted the events of that day in detail.
After a long pause, Li Mai finally managed to say, "So, not only do you no longer need to breed with those strange beasts of the Luo clan to produce divine beast bloodlines, but you have also become the ancestor of the Luo clan, receiving eternal incense offerings from the descendants of the Luo clan?"
Zhou Quan nodded, "Mm!"
Li Mai sighed. Now she finally understood where Zhou Quan's aura of merit came from!
He has returned from the apocalypse. He has experienced thousands of years from the 21st century to the apocalypse. It would be difficult for him not to have the light of merit on him.
However, this is hard to understand. Did the Luo clan in the apocalypse not know that Luo Ying was their ancestor?
It seems this matter has entered an inexplicable cycle, or perhaps I've guessed the wrong way?
Zhou Quan, unsure of her thoughts, asked nervously, "Wife, what are you thinking? You don't think I'm not human, do you?"
"No, don't think nonsense. I'm wondering where your merits came from!" Li Mai leaned against him and said softly.
Zhou Quan's face lit up with joy. He pulled her close, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
He hasn't kissed his wife in a long time, and he thinks about it every day.
Li Mai sensed his thoughts and quickly pushed him away, "No, I haven't showered for more than twenty days, I smell terrible."
As she spoke, she took a few steps back to distance herself from him. She realized she had been foolish to lean on him so much that she had momentarily forgotten she was in postpartum confinement and hadn't taken a bath in a long time.
"It tastes bland!" Zhou Quan pouted. He couldn't hug his wife anymore. He should have just held back and not kissed her.
Seeing that Li Mai was deep in thought again, Zhou Quan thought for a moment and said, "My merit is because I have saved the world several times. The books you read before only recorded some small things, but many big things were not recorded."
“But the Heavenly Dao has recorded it all, and it will transform into the light of merit and virtue to be bestowed upon me,” Zhou Quan said softly.
These major events were things he had gradually forgotten after experiencing so many periods of deep sleep during the apocalypse; what he remembered were mostly minor matters.
Upon hearing this, Li Mai was incredulous. She sat up straight and looked at him in astonishment. "Salvation? So, you've remembered everything now? Including things about your mother goddess and father goddess?"
Zhuo Quan nodded, "Yes, Luo Yi and I are from the same source after all. She used her last bit of divine power to help me unseal it, and it was very thorough, it was all unsealed."
“I used to have so many worries because of my incomplete memory, but now I realize I was just creating trouble for myself.” Zhou Quan lay down, rested his head on her lap, and held her hand as he spoke.
Seeing that he is no longer in a state of depression like before, Li Mai is relieved.
“When you have time later, tell me your story slowly!” Li Mai said with a smile.
"Okay!" Zhou Quan gave a heartwarming smile.
“By the way, when I sealed your memories before, I discovered that some of your past memories were sealed by your mother goddess,” Li Mai said, recalling this.
"Yes, I know. She wanted me and Luo Yi to have a pure bloodline offspring, but I didn't want to. So she sealed that part of my memory, afraid that I would hate Luo Yi or destroy her because of that incident."
Li Mai: ......
Like Fuxi and Nuwa?
Thinking of this, Li Mai shuddered, feeling a little scared. What were those gods thinking back then?
“Wheat, back then, we were just a group of beasts whose abilities surpassed those of humans today. In our eyes, what mattered was the inheritance of the race and bloodline. Ideas like brotherhood and sisterhood were very weak.”
"In order to ensure the purity of a race's bloodline, inbreeding is common. Moreover, back then, those divine beasts did not pay attention to mating. They generally did not have that kind of desire unless they were in heat. Mating was only for the purpose of passing on offspring and ensuring the purity of the bloodline."
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, Zhou Quan has learned a great deal and gained a deep understanding. He can stand in any era and empathize with the practices and necessity of any event in that time.
Just as he could understand the reasons and thoughts of the Mother Goddess who wanted him and Loy to do what she did, he refused because he was unwilling.
He was unaware of Luo Yi's birth and was not present, having gone off to travel. When he returned thousands of years later, he found a younger sister. He and Luo Yi had virtually no sibling affection for each other, and neither liked the other. Knowing that the Mother Goddess had another child, he was even less likely to return often.
Then came the successive fall of the Father God and the Mother God.
Li Mai thought about what he said and it seemed to make sense. Sometimes, we really can't judge that time with our current perspective and feelings. Back then, the world was still in chaos, there were no humans, and all living creatures were beasts. Their behavior was not like that of later humans, which had the same set of human civilization.
