Chapter 403: Chapter 360: Why Not Mix It Together? Ax-Wielding Rama Descends! (Requesting Monthly Votes!)
Shiva wore a gentle smile.
He always granted the requests of his followers, and today, on this auspicious day of Sani’s wedding, he would naturally not refuse Sani’s request.
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, Kashigyakya’s lips twitched.
His body swayed slightly, his eyes fixed intently on the smiling Shiva, feeling as if he was choked, unable to utter a word.
His father had chosen quite the time to arrive!
"Praise Mahadeva!"
Sani looked at the Supreme Lord with deep affection, pressed his hands together, and devoutly said.
At this point, Sun God Surya could no longer hold back.
Whoosh!
He stepped forward, pressed his hands together, and said, "Supreme Lord, Sani invited me, and as his father, to refuse me a part in this naming ceremony is surely a humiliation to me, isn’t it?!"
Sun God Surya’s face was filled with displeasure.
He looked at Sani with anger.
Ah?!
Sani was startled for a moment.
He blinked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and suddenly turned his head to look at Surya.
He didn’t like Surya, but was it really that important?
Sani stood there dumbfounded.
At that moment, Sani’s wife Manda pressed her hands together. She wore beautiful gold ornaments, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces that glittered and sparkled.
"Sani!"
"Since you have invited your father, how can you not allow him to participate in the naming ceremony!"
Manda looked at Sani and spoke.
Hearing this, Sani became somewhat nervous.
"I seem to have been impulsive!"
"To think the naming ceremony is so important!"
Sani’s eyes darted around, bewilderedly glancing at the angry Surya.
His pure distaste for Surya, along with the invitation to the Supreme Lord, made him want the respected Mahadeva to conduct the naming ceremony.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this very moment, countless gazes continually fell upon him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
No one had told him about this, nor had anyone taught him!
Sani stood there dumbfounded.
Soon after his birth, he was captured by Antaka, then somehow managed to escape, and later endured many years of arduous cultivation in Kailash and the Mortal Realm.
He had only recently met Manda, and they were preparing to marry.
He only knew roughly about the rituals required for marriage. It was Manda who had told him about inviting his parents.
He indeed wanted to see Surya lose his composure.
But even more, he wished to surpass Surya’s status through arduous cultivation, reaching that step rightfully and honorably, not through humiliating Surya.
"This..."
Sani’s eyes were filled with confusion as he looked around helplessly.
At this moment, he appeared like a lost child, at a loss, frozen in place.
Whoosh!
Kashigyakya suddenly stood up.
Anger lightly colored his handsome face as he stared at Shiva with displeasure.
"Father!"
"The naming ceremony is such an auspicious event, it requires a father to conduct it!"
"How could you take Surya’s place!"
Kashigyakya raised his hand, pointing at Sani, and accused.
As the Heavenly Emperor, he bore the glory of the entire Heavenly Realm on his shoulders, responsible for protecting the dignity and safety of the Devas behind him.
Now, he had to stand up and denounce the unjust act of Mahadeva.
Upon hearing the words, Shiva turned his head slightly.
"As the Supreme Lord, fulfilling the desires of believers is my duty!"
Shiva spoke in a deep voice.
Kashigyakya fell into silence.
His eyes seemed to spit fire as he seethed privately, his fists clenched tightly, making a creaking noise.
It was always like this!
Was this detestable old man really so easily pleased?!
It was one thing to always protect his believers, but to cover for their mistakes too?
Hum!
Kashigyakya’s body trembled slightly, ready to take a step forward, but then a large arm stretched out and pressed on Kashigyakya’s shoulder.
"Kashigyakya!"
Indra turned his head to look.
He gazed at Kashigyakya, who was trying to suppress his anger, his face an iron-gray hue.
"Cultivate a close connection with peace, eradicate anger, and don’t let it consume your reason!
"This world belongs to those who are generous and kind!"
Indra said.
Upon hearing this, Kashigyakya took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Teacher!"
Kashigyakya’s eyes were filled with a complex look.
He took deep breaths, calming his own anger.
Slap!
Indra also raised his hand and gently tapped Kashigyakya’s back with it.
He focused his thoughts.
Whoosh!
Floral clouds of ’Prosperity’ drifted forward, and the red blooms wandered livelily around Kashigyakya, bringing waves of fragrance.
Kashigyakya inhaled the floral scents.
His breath gradually stabilized, returning to his usual tranquility.
At that moment, Indra also took a step forward, walking to the forefront of the gods.
"Since this naming ceremony is so important!
"Then why not have the Supreme Lord and Surya together?"
"The Supreme Lord will bless and educate Sani, bestowing upon him new life, just like a teacher. To a student, the teacher is undoubtedly the second father."
"So, participating in this naming ceremony together should not be a problem!"
"Sani!"
"What say you?"
Indra suddenly turned his head, looking at Sani.
His expression was calm, with a smile on his face, quietly gazing at Sani in his fine attire.
If Sani agreed.
That would be good.
If Sani did not agree...
Then he would have to employ some special tactics, such as a certain sack the Artisan God crafted for him, which could be useful at the right time.
It was bound to be very effective!
Upon hearing this, Sani was momentarily stunned.
Hiss!
He took a deep breath, looking into the benign gaze of Indra, suddenly feeling a chill at his back, causing his body to shiver.
An inexplicable cold sensation arose spontaneously.
"What a strange feeling!"
Muttered Sani in his heart.
