Chapter 570: Chapter 480: Kubera Banquet, The Final Seat! - Part 2
"Let’s set off!"
God of Wealth Kubera said.
His small eyes narrowed as he scanned the Little Elephant God.
Once this guy gets to the city with curly hair, he must show off well and surprise Vinayaka.
"Alright!"
The Little Elephant God blinked and agreed.
With that said, they flew out of Kailash and then boarded the Divine Chariot Bhusipoga, heading towards the city with curly hair.
...
The city with curly hair.
The city was magnificent and towering, with crystal for walls and gold paving the paths.
The golden radiance illuminated all around, shooting up to the sky, turning the clouds into countless golden auspicious clouds, like little boats meandering in a river of gold through the sky.
"This place is quite beautiful,"
"Really luxurious!"
Indra rode the Divine Elephant Airavata, slowly flying in.
He sat astride the white Divine Elephant, his body majestic and towering, his crown and armor inlaid with pearls, emanating a faint golden glow, and his red cape gently fluttering and swirling behind him.
Nay!
Airavata blinked its sparkling large eyes, its fan-like ears constantly flapping, bringing a cool misty breeze.
It seemed extremely delighted!
This time, when setting out, the master had chosen it over Supratika.
That horse just had to pull the cart then!
The three heads of Airavata gently shook, feeling particularly joyful, unable to resist curling its long trunk and spraying a shower of water toward the sky.
Swish!
Water clouds filled the sky, turning into rainfall.
A rainbow, shaped like a longbow or perhaps a beam bridge, rose in the sky.
Airavata’s large feet stepped on the rainbow, leisurely moving down from the sky, descending and landing in front of this huge city with curly hair.
Whisk whisk whisk!
Other Devas too, riding their mounts, fell down one after another.
The Devas stood at the entrance of the city with curly hair, their eyes casually sweeping, and a thrill of joy couldn’t help but arise in their hearts.
"Really worthy of the keeper of wealth, no matter how many times we come to this city with curly hair, we can always feel the beauty of this wealth!"
Sun God Surya said with a smile.
He stood sideways, his handsome posture radiating streaks of gold light, appearing even brighter against the reflection of this Crystal City.
"Yes!"
Fire God Agni said.
Wind God Vayu also showed an appreciative look, murmuring, "It’s really quite good, truly worthy of being the God of Wealth!"
Water God Varuna gently shook his head.
"Kubera is, after all, the God of Wealth, the keeper of wealth!"
"It’s just that he is a bit annoying as a person!"
Water God Varuna muttered quietly.
Upon hearing this, the Devas immediately shook their heads, all in agreement.
"This guy is actually mocking the Heavenly Realm!"
"He was mocking us too when he invited us to this banquet!"
"Hmph!"
The Devas discussed animatedly.
Indra slightly raised his eyebrows.
He didn’t speak, only blinked and stared at this majestic and luxurious city with curly hair.
"Truly worthy of being the keeper of wealth!"
"The atmosphere here is filled with the auspicious aura of the Goddess of Fortune, it’s quite comfortable!"
Indra twisted his neck, thinking to himself.
He had previously received a blessing from Lakshmi, the Goddess of Fortune, enabling him to continuously gain strength, and his physical strength and poise nearly inexhaustible.
And in this city with curly hair, a gathering place of wealth.
He could also feel his strength being activated, and his whole body seemed a bit lighter.
"Heavenly Emperor!"
"Oh wise one, my brother!"
"Do you think we should teach him a lesson?"
Fire God Agni suddenly turned his head, looking towards Indra.
Indra didn’t reply, only lifted his head to gaze at the sky, his eyes flashing with two dazzling streaks of golden light, as if piercing through the auspicious clouds in the sky, seeing everything.
"Here he comes!"
Indra declared.
Hmm?
Here he comes!
Could it be Kubera!
The Devas, upon hearing these words, immediately looked up, following Indra’s gaze towards the sky.
Whoosh!
A streak of swift, lightning-fast radiance flashed through the sky like a bright star during the day, flickering in and out of sight, suddenly appearing in the sky, descending upon the land.
Bhusipoga landed!
"Bhusipoga is indeed fast!"
Indra said.
As he spoke, God of Wealth Kubera, Karma God Soni, and Little Elephant God Jasenanda, one after another, leaped down from the Divine Chariot.
"Soni?"
Sun God Surya widened his eyes, looking at Sani in astonishment.
"Sani!"
"It seems you were thrown quite far; did Mahadeva help you come back?"
Surya exclaimed.
Ever since he had escaped from Sindura’s grip, he had been busy dealing with affairs in the Heavenly Realm and hadn’t been home. He thought that Sani had finally gained some self-awareness and didn’t want to show up in front of them.
Sani’s face darkened.
Was his father doing this on purpose, bringing up the matter of him being thrown?
"Yes!"
Sani said.
"Have you seen your mother yet? Chaya is very worried about you!"
Surya continued to ask.
Sani slightly frowned.
After all, he had a family of his own, did he look like someone who would run to his mother whenever something happened?
"I haven’t gone to see Mother yet,"
Sani said.
"Oh!"
"I thought after you were thrown, you would have gone to find Chaya!"
"You should go see your mother!"
Surya, the Sun God, said.
Upon hearing this, Sani blinked and couldn’t help falling into thought.
Maybe he should indeed go see his mother.
"After all, your mother was quite worried about you being thrown!"
Surya continued.
"..."
Sani’s face darkened again.
His father was doing it on purpose, always bringing up this matter!
Damn!
This Sun God really needed to be taught a lesson!
At that moment, the God of Wealth Kubera, looking left and right, clapped hands upon his belly, appearing very happy.
"Hahaha!"
"Your family truly loves each other!"
"Truly a model for the Devas!"
God of Wealth Kubera laughed heartily.
Hearing this, Sani’s face turned gloomy again, and he cast a covert glance at Kubera.
This guy was doing it on purpose, right?
He squinted his eyes, about to speak.
"We’ve been standing for so long!"
"Won’t you invite us in yet?"
Indra’s voice suddenly rang out, reaching the ears of all the gods.
He wore a gentle smile, his demeanor warm, his gaze lightly sweeping over Surya and Sani.
The relationship between this father and son had improved, but only slightly.
They still needed a bit more adjustment!
At that moment, Kubera abruptly realized.
"Come!"
"Quickly enter my palace!"
Having said that, he turned and walked ahead of everyone, raising his arm, and speaking. "Come, quickly enter my Curly-haired City, and let your eyes feast upon the most luxurious banquet in the world."
The Devas exchanged glances, and then entered the Crystal City.
The Curly-haired City was quite vast.
It was 500 yojanas long and 300 yojanas wide.
The most luxurious part was the center of the city, where God of Wealth Kubera resided in his palace.
The palace was entirely made of crystal, filled with all varieties of treasures. Corals served as lamp holders, complemented with Mani jewels to illuminate everywhere. The gorgeous purple silk was soft as clouds, layered beneath the feet like stepping on clouds.
Soon, under the lead of Kubera, all the Devas arrived at the grand banquet hall.
Along the way, mountains of gold were like piles of dirt; corals were like small hills.
The sweets were piled up like mountains, forming layers and layers.
Kubera swung his body, flaunting his wealth with pride.
Little Elephant God Vinayaka gazed unblinkingly, almost turning his head three times in one step, longingly staring at the piles of sweets.
In the hall.
Tables were arranged in order, filled with various foods.
The seats for the many Devas were already prepared; they only needed to wait for the Devas to take their seats.
"Everyone, please take your seats!"
Gleefully opening his arms, Kubera laughed heartily as he continued.
His gaze firmed as he saw the uppermost position’s seat, slightly furrowing his brow as he slowly turned his head to look at the three people in front of him.
Indra, Sani, and Vinayaka!
"This throne should be given to the most honorable person, but... it seems it’s difficult to decide now!"
Kubera immediately showed a hesitant expression.
He carefully looked toward the three people, seeking their opinions.
Hearing this, Indra smiled and took a step forward.
"I’ll step aside first!"
Having said that, he moved to another seat.
