Chapter 402: Chapter 359: The Handsome Indra, An Unexpected Incident at the Naming Ceremony! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)
In the great hall.
King Qi Che and his wife and Manda craned their necks to peer, waiting at the bright entrance of the grand hall for the arrival of Sani.
Upon the arrival of her husband, they would be able to offer Sani clear water, jewelry, and sandalwood paste, ask for his name, and proceed with the subsequent rituals.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two towering figures appeared in everyone’s sight, striding forward in large steps.
They’re coming!
King Qi Che turned his head and took a careful look.
In an instant, he saw endless Divine Light, glittering in gold, as blue as the sky, momentarily stinging his eyes so sourly that he could not help but shed tears.
"Ahhhh!"
"This, this is... brilliance..."
King Qi Che leaned back, covering his eyes with one hand, and with the other hand, he shielded himself from the blinding light.
Manda and the others also took shelter behind King Qi Che.
"Where does all this light come from?"
Indra’s eyes twinkled, catching a glimpse from the corner of his eye.
A golden cloud [Abundance] wandered like a fish, circling behind him.
Whoosh!
Countless golden lights burst forth from [Abundance].
These golden lights were like ears of wheat in autumn, like endless veins of gold hidden deep underground, or like the golden morning light one sees walking in the cool breeze on a spring morning.
"Gather the golden light!"
Indra commanded, turning his head.
As soon as he spoke, the [Abundance] golden cloud deflated like a punctured balloon.
Its golden mass shrank slightly, twisting sorrowfully as it floated behind Indra.
Whoosh!
The Devas all glanced sideways.
Wind God Vayu, Fire God Agni, and Water God Varuna all turned their gazes, curiously watching the scene.
"That’s a nice cloud!"
Sun God Surya’s eyes shone, staring unwaveringly at the [Abundance] golden cloud.
Such a dazzling golden cloud seemed tailor-made for him.
So beautiful!
I wonder if I could have it?
Surya’s eyes grew intense.
"So bright!"
"What brilliance!"
At this moment, King Qi Che and his companions finally came back to their senses from the golden light.
King Qi Che carefully lowered his arms, looking up.
Whoosh!
He caught sight of that resplendent and holy man.
This man was handsome and tall, with arms like those of the Naga King, filled with deep, earth-like strength.
Around him, multicolored clouds clustered, as if he were the most beautiful among the divine.
"Truly handsome!"
"Truly brilliant!"
King Qi Che murmured to himself.
Suddenly, he understood his own daughter; no wonder she fell in love at first sight.
Thinking so, he turned his head and immediately spotted another Deva on the side, a figure in lavish attire with fingers adorned in glittering golden rings.
"Could it be God of Wealth Kubera!"
"It is said that Kubera is plump and broad-minded, yet this one is robust; the rumor doesn’t seem quite right!"
King Qi Che muttered to himself.
He immediately stepped forward, reaching Indra in just a few steps, and joyfully pressed his hands together.
"Truly dazzling brilliance!"
"Your radiance is like that of Indra, I am so fortunate!"
King Qi Che shook his head, excited.
Indra couldn’t help but smile.
What a smooth talker, as splendid as Indra, well said!
Sani stood to the side.
He glanced at Manda and saw her looking back at him in surprise.
Whoosh!
Manda blinked, giving Sani a meaningful look. Sani roughly understood the gesture; it meant for him to be the first to speak up and greet them.
Sani slightly opened his mouth, looking at King Qi Che.
His face turned slightly red, filled with anxiety and yet brimming with indignation.
How eagerly this father-in-law approached the Heavenly Emperor, yet he didn’t even acknowledge his son-in-law.
Sani’s expression was rather unpleasant.
Meanwhile, as Indra was dealing with King Qi Che, he also noticed Sani’s expression.
He blinked and then spoke.
"King Qi Che!"
"You should go greet your son-in-law first, and start the naming ceremony!"
Indra motioned with a flick of his hand, directing King Qi Che’s attention to Sani at his side.
"!!"
"Then you are..."
King Qiche blinked in surprise.
"Indra!"
Indra declared.
Boom!
At that moment, King Qiche felt as if struck by lightning, his whole body trembling instantly. So the person before him was the Heavenly Emperor, no wonder he was so radiant.
Then his son-in-law...
King Qiche’s pupils dilated, and he instantly turned his head to look at Sani, whose complexion was not good.
He stepped back twice, took a deep breath, and then pressed his hands together, bowing to Indra nervously.
"No wonder you are so radiant!"
"Praise be to you, Vajra Holder!"
King Qiche said with his hands pressed together.
Indra smiled and raised his right hand in return.
This fellow is quite enthusiastic!
The next moment, King Qiche nervously looked towards Sani.
"Great soul Sani! My son-in-law!"
"Indeed handsome!"
King Qiche added quickly, "Time is of the essence; let us start the ’Asking of Names’ ceremony."
The ’Asking of Names’ ceremony!
Simply put, it was to inquire about the son-in-law’s origin and family.
After the ceremony, the father could give his daughter’s hand to the son-in-law, signifying that he was entrusting his daughter to him.
Sani’s expression became slightly solemn.
The ’Asking of Names’ ceremony?!
He instinctively looked towards Sun God Surya, whose radiant figure was somewhat dazzling.
"I am Sani!"
"I am a devotee of Mahadeva, born with the blessing of the Supreme Lord; the divine dwelling place is the enclosures for the faithful, my home!"
Sani said, pressing his hands together.
Just as ’home’ below is ’pig,’ representing a pig.
An enclosure also meant home to them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gazes fell swiftly upon him, all focusing on Sani.
Wind God Vayu’s breath tightened; Fire God Agni’s eyes bulged; Water God Varuna also pursed his lips, swallowing his saliva involuntarily.
"Sani!!!"
Sun God Surya watched the scene in shock, muttering to himself.
Indra’s gaze slightly lifted.
"It seems that after so many years of ascetic practice, Sani still hasn’t forgotten the past," Indra thought to himself.
Things were probably going to be difficult to handle now!
At this time, Surya took a step forward, approaching angrily, and said, "Sani, your mother is not here, but do not forget that I am your father."
On the other side, Kashigyakya looked around.
Finally, he turned his gaze to Sani.
Hmm!
What Sani did was very wrong.
As Heavenly Emperor, Kashigyakya should stand up and preside over justice!
"Sani!"
"I think you..."
Kashigyakya had not finished speaking.
Whoosh!
A vast expanse of white fog suddenly appeared, enveloping the surroundings, and the figure of a man clad in animal hide, holding the Trishula, emerged.
Shiva appeared!
Bang!
Shiva heavily struck the Trishula on the ground, planted it in place, lifted his right hand slightly, with his palm facing Sani.
"Sani!"
"I have come to fulfill your wish, to attend your wedding!"
Shiva said with a smile.
Kashigyakya’s complexion slightly changed.
The expressions of many Devas also subtly shifted.
"This is not good!"
Indra blinked, murmuring to himself.
If Sani requested during the ’Asking of Names’ that he be called from the family of Shiva, Shiva was sure to agree.
"Mahadeva!"
"As the ’Asking of Names’ is part of the upcoming wedding ceremony, and you are my Supreme Lord, I hope to be able to speak your name!"
Sani said.
Shiva revealed a smile and nodded slightly.
"Of course!"
