Chapter 392: Chapter 349: A mother shouldn’t neglect one thing for another, look how lonely they are! (Vote for monthly tickets!)
However...
Parvati seemed to think otherwise!
Shiva slightly lifted his head, his eyes moving lightly, and looked toward Parvati in front of him.
"My lord!"
"I am truly happy today!"
"If someone comes seeking blessings today, I’ll grant his wish without asking the reason!"
Parvati swayed her head.
Her lips curved into a smile, her bright eyes and white teeth shining, her beautiful face blooming with a cute and charming smile, like the blooming Mandara Flower, touching the strings of the heart.
Shiva stared at Parvati’s endearing silhouette.
He couldn’t help but be affected by his wife’s sweet disposition, and the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curled upward.
"Parvati!"
"When you’re happy, I’m happy!"
Shiva’s eyes grew intense, smiling as he watched his wife.
His feet touched the ground, standing up from the ageless rock, he stepped forward, walking up to Parvati’s side.
"Parvati!"
"You’re so happy, but you must be careful!"
"Reckless blessings in a moment of joy, might lead to disastrous results."
Shiva said this.
He paused, then continued, "For instance, the blessings Brahma and I once gave to the Asura!"
Upon hearing this, Parvati’s smile bloomed like a flower.
"My lord!"
"I will restrain myself!"
"My lord, aren’t we one and the same?"
"If you can foresee these karmic retributions and are willing to undertake them, then I too am willing to stand by you and share the burden."
Parvati said, smiling.
Upon hearing this, Shiva couldn’t help but smile.
"Ever since our union, no matter the number of difficulties our family has faced, you remain as kind and gentle to me as ever," Shiva said.
Their eyes met.
Warm love surged between their gazes.
The wind blew quietly, whisking away the snowflakes from the pine needles, drying the dew on the tender leaves, unable to extinguish the fire of love in their eyes.
Tramp, tramp, tramp!
Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed.
Shiva remained unfazed.
Parvati’s face slightly flushed; she blinked and withdrew her gaze, turning her head coyly and with a touch of displeasure, wanting to see who had disturbed her and her husband.
Kashigyakya walked with head held high, striding confidently, approaching leisurely.
"I am here!" Kashigyakya declared.
Parvati’s eyes brightened.
In an instant, the displeasure in her heart was swept away, and instead, her heart filled with the joy of a family reunion.
The child had returned!
"Praise Kashigyakya!"
"Praise Kashigyakya!"
"Praise Kashigyakya!"
The Divine Bull Nandi and the Ganesha evil spirits were already raising their hands high, starting to cheer.
The atmosphere in Kailash instantly became heated.
Kashigyakya, holding himself upright, smiled at the people around him. He slowly turned around and with his hands pressed together, he bowed slightly to Indra.
"Good!"
Indra smiled and shook his head.
The next moment, a dish of marigolds suddenly appeared in his hand. He grabbed a handful of the beautiful petals and threw them toward Kashigyakya.
The Devas followed suit.
Sun God Surya held yellow turmeric powder; Fire God Agni held red floral powder; Water God Varuna carried a jar of clear water; Wind God Vayu held basil leaves.
All of these sacrificial offerings were sprinkled upon Kashigyakya.
To celebrate Kashigyakya’s victory!
Kashigyakya smiled slightly.
Having received the blessings of his teacher and the Devas, next he would receive the blessings of his father and mother.
"Father!"
"Mother!"
Kashigyakya pressed his hands together, addressing Shiva and Parvati.
Shiva nodded slightly, revealing a trace of a smile.
Parvati looked joyful, her sparkling eyes excited, watching Kashigyakya intently.
"In this battle, I proved my strength!"
"My teacher once said!"
"If a warrior lacks the blessings of his father and mother, no matter how invincible, his accomplishments will be hard to achieve."
"Praise Father! Praise Mother!" Kashigyakya said, pressing his hands together.
Upon hearing this, both Shiva and Parvati smiled together.
Indra’s eyes twinkled, he smiled with satisfaction. Now Kashigyakya would speak of the matters in the Heavenly Realm.
Kashigyakya’s glance shifted, noticing his teacher’s smile.
He took a deep breath and began to speak.
"Mother, I..."
Before he could finish, a tender green lotus leaf appeared in both of Parvati’s hands, emanating a faint, sweet fragrance of rice pudding.
It smelled wonderful!
"Jiumolu~"
"Try the milk porridge I made for you!"
Parvati’s eyes twinkled as she looked down.
Whoosh!
A brightly colored carpet embroidered with pale yellow chrysanthemums spread out on the ground instantly.
Parvati, in good spirits, sat down on the carpet, lifted her eyes, and smiled, signaling Kashigyakya to sit as well.
"..."
Kashigyakya’s lips twitched slightly as he subconsciously glanced at Indra.
Indra’s gaze was calm, utterly composed.
No rush!
His gaze remained serene, not at all in a hurry. After all, since he was here already, he might as well sit back and wait patiently for the fish to bite.
There was no need for him to rush!
It was also a good chance for Kashigyakya to experience a mother’s love more fully.
"Ah, open wide~"
Parvati smiled, watching Kashigyakya as she gently scooped up a dollop of rice pudding with her pure right hand and brought it to the corner of Kashigyakya’s mouth.
Kashigyakya managed a slight smile and slowly opened his mouth.
A dollop of milk porridge entered his mouth and slid down his throat.
Hmm?
Kashigyakya instantly felt a surge of sweet flavor flood his palate.
This flavor, with a hint of mango’s fresh fragrance, was incredibly enticing and left him feeling instantly satiated.
"This is something I learned in the Mortal World!"
"A new flavor of milk porridge!"
"Try it!"
Parvati said.
As she spoke, she smiled and extended her hand again.
Kashigyakya looked surprised as he opened his mouth to continue tasting.
The second spoonful!
The third spoonful!
The sweet flavors swirled in his mouth, causing Kashigyakya to be at a loss for words, but after the third spoonful, an extreme sense of fullness arose, making his belly ache.
He instantly lost any desire to keep eating.
Shiva watched this scene with a smile.
The act of feeding each other among family members could bring the greatest satisfaction.
Years ago, he had also been to the residence of the Snow Mountain King, where no amount of food could satisfy him. Later, Parvati fed him by hand, and just one bite made him so full that he wouldn’t eat another morsel.
"Mother, I’m already full!"
Kashigyakya held his belly and hurriedly exclaimed.
Parvati’s face filled with confusion, "You’ve only had a few bites, eat a little more!"
Upon saying that, she stretched out her hand once more, bringing it to the edge of Kashigyakya’s mouth.
Atop the Trishula.
Antaka, hung there, sensed Kashigyakya’s bitter face and couldn’t help but snicker to himself.
"Finally..."
"It’s not me anymore!"
Antaka’s head shook slightly as he felt a surge of excitement and quietly reflected.
Kashigyakya was only experiencing this for the first time; did he know what it felt like to be stuffed to death every day?
A delightful sense of schadenfreude wrapped around his heart.
Hmph~
Antaka clenched his teeth and silently laughed.
Whoosh!
Kashigyakya lifted his head and looked towards Mahadeva.
"Kashigyakya!"
"This was lovingly prepared by your mother; it’s a blessing for you, so eat a bit more," Shiva said with a smile.
"..."
Kashigyakya’s expression turned stiff as he felt a shock go through his heart.
Both his parents were indeed unreliable!
He quickly looked towards Indra, seeking help with his gaze directed towards his teacher.
Hm?
Indra’s eyebrows rose slightly as he watched Kashigyakya. He suddenly realized that something didn’t seem right with Kashigyakya.
He furrowed his brow slightly.
The next moment, Indra smiled with his hands pressed together.
"Lady Master!"
"At such an auspicious moment of family reunion, as a mother, you must not neglect one for another!"
"Look how lonely Antaka is!"
As he spoke, Indra glanced at Antaka with a smile.
"What!"
Antaka’s heart skipped a beat, and his body trembled violently.
