Karsha'a POV
After much consoling and purchasing bags of candy from the system, Starr finally cald down. Karsha thanked the system for the idea of using candy, then bid his final farewells to nearly all the snakes in the Sanctuary who had co to see him off.
Karsha stood in front of the portal for a few seconds before finally stepping through. In an instant, he appeared on the other side. Just like when he had first arrived on the island, his vision briefly blurred as he passed through the portal again.At first, he thought he had erged from a different portal when he noticed a crowd of people staring at him as if he had just won Miss Universe.
He was stunned, standing right in front of the portal, as countless eyes fixed on him. The gazes conveyed various emotions: so were filled with shock, others with awe, a few with enchantnt—and, of course, there were the murderous ones. Karsha could sense many hostile intents directed at him, but even those gazes seed just as shocked and srized as the others.
Taken aback, just as he was about to speak, a heavenly fragrance overwheld his senses, followed by the sensation of two soft lons pressing against his chest. His mind went blank. The intoxicating scent and the warmth of the embrace left him montarily dazed. Explore more stories with empire
"Big brother, you're back," a voice filled with tears and emotion finally reached Karsha's ears, snapping him out of his trance. Instead of turning toward the voice, he wrapped his arms around June, feeling her tears soak his chest.
"Yes, I'm back," Karsha replied, turning to the young man he called his brother. Xian smiled faintly, his tears still flowing uncontrollably.

Fairy June's POV
When the portal opened, June's mood shifted from gloomy to one of anticipation. She had waited 60 days for Karsha's return, so seeing the portal open filled her heart with warmth. For weeks, she had been planning how to welco Karsha but ca up empty. She had many ideas, but none made her feel satisfied.
However, when the portal finally opened, she instantly knew what she had to do. Unfortunately for her, even after ten minutes, no one walked through. Her mood began to nosedive as Xian and the minions from the Varon Great Family started a verbal battle.
As more ti passed and the mockery from Vance's minions continued, she began to lose her composure. Thankfully, Fairy i, her best friend, held her back, making sure she didn't do anything reckless, like joining their verbal battle. June knew her reputation was more important than bickering with worthless family minions.
But when the 20th minute ca, and still no one had stepped out of the portal, her heart couldn't take it any longer, and she broke into tears. The minions' insults continued to rain down on her. She finally lost all self-control and was about to curse at them when a voice echoed across the mountain peak, capturing everyone's attention.
She imdiately turned toward the portal, and there she saw him—the young man who had kept her waiting for 60 days, the one to whom she had given half of her life force, the man she had promised to make hers, the man who had been on her mind for the last two months—Karsha.
What she saw was a strikingly handso young man, with perfect cheekbones, a well-built physique, and shimring, freely flowing red hair that, though slightly disheveled, still retained its elegance. Her heart began to race as she looked at the young man, who was dressed in the most unusual yet perfect attire.
He was clad in a long, dark coat that reached down to his knees, featuring a high collar trimd with fur and adorned with gold-accented epaulets. Intricate red lines and grey patterns decorated the coat, evoking a sense of advanced, futuristic design. tal clasps secured the coat at his chest and waist, complented by straps and buckles along the sleeves and sides.
Underneath, he wore a form-fitting black bodysuit with geotric red lines, suggesting both protection and agility, made from a durable, high-tech material. Black gloves with intricate patterns matched the outfit's the, while black pants with similar red accents and tactical straps flowed seamlessly into sturdy boots designed for swift movent and combat.
As she gazed at the most handso man she had ever seen, she froze. But a gentle push from behind sent her flying into the arms of the young man she had missed so dearly. She was startled at first when Karsha didn't imdiately return her hug, but when she felt two soft hands wrap around her, her tears flowed freely, soaking Karsha's clothes.

Vance's POV
From the mont Vance arrived at Snake Peak, his mood had been foul. He was angry, but at the sa ti, he felt a twisted sense of happiness. Deep down, he had hoped Karsha would die on the island.However, seeing so many people gathered to welco Karsha—even though he knew they were really there for Fairy June—made him want to open the portal and kill Karsha himself.
When the portal opened, Vance leaned forward on the edge of his seat. Though he had instructed his minions to continue mocking Karsha and, by extension, June, his mind wasn't on their petty jabs. Like everyone else, his attention was fixed on the portal. While most were distracted by Xian and the minions' exchange, Vance's focus was entirely on the gateway.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the first to spot the shadow appearing through the portal. In the first 15 minutes, he had barely taken two breaths. But as the ti dragged on and Karsha didn't erge, Vance's mood shifted from anger to a sense of smug satisfaction. Although he wanted to kill Karsha with his own hands, the idea of him perishing on the island felt like a victory too.
But the heavens seed to mock him. At the twentieth minute, a strikingly handso young man stepped through the portal with a graceful and refined air. What infuriated Vance even more was that the frail boy he once knew had transford into a well-built, dashing man with stunning hair and eyes.
As if to further crush his spirit, this young man was imdiately embraced by a beauty capable of toppling empires with just her smile. Vance's fury reached its breaking point, and he was about to explode when a voice filled with disdain beat him to it.
"Hey, brat! Who gave you the right to embrace Fairy June? Are you courting death?"

The Third Prince's POV
Prince Mixxel is known for maintaining an upright image. He doesn't go around imposing on others, nor does he use his status to suppress anyone. Because of this, many people respect and adore him. However, not everyone can be deceived by his elegant appearance. Behind that cheerful, respectful mask lies a manipulative prince who believes everything should belong to him.
For years, he has wielded his power to suppress others through his puppets. He never did the dirty work himself, preferring to employ his loyal minions while he reaped all the rewards. He is the worst kind of opponent anyone could face.
When he arrived at the Snake Peak and Fairy June didn't even acknowledge him, he was infuriated. However, to maintain his outwardly righteous image, he decided to remain calm on the surface, even though he was bubbling with rage inside. He was determined to find out who had influenced the fairy, whom he so desperately desired, to ignore him so completely.
"Looks like you won't be having any competition, my prince," a young man with a strong aura standing to Prince Mixxel's right said in a tone only they could hear. The prince laughed inwardly but maintained a neutral expression outwardly.
Almost 20 minutes had passed since the portal opened, but no one had co through. His happiness continued to rise as he saw Fairy June breaking down. He knew that once the portal closed, whoever she had been waiting for would remain in the past, aning he wouldn't have any competition; after all, he was a prince.
However, his joy in the chaos was shattered when a young man—whose looks were not only equal to his but arguably superior—stepped through the portal. He leaned forward in his seat, gazing at the young man, who appeared to be at the Grandmaster stage.
What spoiled his mood even further was that just when he thought he could use one of his minions to probe Karsha's strength, the woman in his heart ran forward and embraced this young man. Fury surged through him as he witnessed the scene.
Not only he, but almost all the boys present were clenching their fists, tightening their grips on their swords as they watched this young man take away everything they desired.
Karsha, on the other hand, seed completely unconcerned. His mind was blank, filled with pure delight. It wasn't every day you had two ample breasts pressed against your chest, especially after fighting a life-and-death battle against ten kingdom-destroying monsters.
He felt he deserved everything he was getting and more. But since only one fairy was willing to embrace him, he chose to enjoy the mont for as long as it lasted.
Prince Mixxel beca so angry that he almost broke the arm of the chair he was sitting on. After a while, when he could no longer endure the situation, he tapped the arm of one of his minions, signaling him to make his move.
==================
Karsha had just replied to Xian when a killing intent locked onto him, accompanied by a voice laced with ridicule and disdain.
"Hey, brat! Who gave you the right to embrace Fairy June? Are you courting death?" a young man, emitting the aura of a Peak Saint, shouted, his voice echoing throughout the area.
Karsha glanced at him from the corner of his eye and smiled inwardly,'It's about to go down.'
