NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 41: Sophia
The first rays of sunlight filtered through the window, casting a golden glow over the two bodies lying on the bed — a handsome young man and a goddess-like girl curled up in his arms. Both were completely unclothed, and the morning light made the sweat on their skin shimmer like pearls.
Red marks on the girl's soft, fair neck quietly revealed the wildness of the previous night. Her long eyelashes rested peacefully over closed eyes, as if all the safety in the world existed within this embrace.
Adrian slowly opened his eyes. He gazed at Alina, whose golden hair was spread across his chest, a soft smile resting on her lips.
"Has any girl ever looked this beautiful in any lifetime?""Models? Queens? All of them pale in comparison…"
But then Han Fei's image flashed in his mind — ever since her recovery, she had been growing more stunning every day, like a flower blooming for the first time.
A strange sense of satisfaction warmed his heart.Two goddesses — and both were his.
He quickly opened the system panel. Multiple notifications had stacked up overnight:

Adrian murmured, "So Alina isn't fully connected yet…"
He smiled and gently moved her from his arms. He softly pulled the blanket over her naked body — as if covering a precious treasure.
Then he walked to the bathroom, freshened up, and changed into a royal blue silk suit. His sharp features and the elegant suit made him look like a prince from a fantasy.
As he stepped out of the bathroom, Alina was already awake, smiling at him.
"With such a beautiful girl in my bed, how could I not feel lucky?"
He walked to her and picked her up in his arms.
Alina blushed and said playfully,"Adrian… Even after keeping me up all night, you're still not satisfied?"
With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Adrian replied,"I've only tasted you, my lady… When I devour you completely, you'll beg me to stop."
Her cheeks turned red, and she buried her face in his chest.
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock at the door.
Adrian gently put Alina down and walked over. Outside stood Ming Hao.
"Young Master, forgive me. But Young Miss Sophia is expected to arrive at Sphere City within the next hour."
Adrian nodded and smiled,"I'll go myself to receive my sister at the city gates."
He turned to Alina and said,"Get freshened up and come downstairs. I'll wait for you with Uncle Hao."
A short while later, Alina came down, dressed in a simple but elegant white dress. The soft tiredness of the night and the glow of the new morning both reflected in her eyes.
Adrian, Alina, and Ming Hao began walking toward the city gates of Sphere City.
Though Ming Hao had already arranged a place for Sophia to stay, Adrian insisted,"She's not just my sister — she's my responsibility. I'll welcome her myself."
Sphere City's main street had grown unusually lively. The sun had reached its zenith, and from the southern gate, a grand, luxurious caravan was making its entrance.
Massive carriages, crest-marked flags fluttering high, and surrounding elite guards made it clear — this was no ordinary procession.
As the caravan halted, the doors of the carriages opened one by one. Beautiful young women stepped out gracefully, each one seemingly handpicked — their movements spoke of elite training, and their appearance carried the glow of nobility.
But Adrian's eyes stopped at only one face.
She was a petite girl, barely five feet tall. Her silver hair cascaded down to her knees, and her most striking feature — bright blue eyes that gleamed exactly like Adrian's.
Her expression carried a regal aura, but her eyes... they hid a childlike innocence, as if she had wandered too far from home.
Adrian's heartbeat quickened. Without a word, without hesitation, he stepped forward — slowly, steadily — toward her.
The girls around her gasped softly.Who was this bold man approaching them so confidently?
But then… the girl noticed him.
Her eyes locked onto his — and time seemed to stop.
A shiver ran down her spine, and tears welled up in her eyes. She broke into a run.
"Brother!!"
Adrian opened his arms wide — and the next moment, she crashed into his chest.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as her voice trembled,"Brother… I missed you so much…"
Adrian gently stroked her back, kissed her forehead, and whispered,"I missed you too, my precious little sister."
For a few moments, they simply held each other — two hearts reunited after what felt like an eternity.
Behind them, Elina and Ming Hao arrived.
With them stood another woman — elegant, poised, and stunningly attractive. She appeared to be in her early 30s, but her lively body and confident gaze made her radiate the aura of a goddess — mature, powerful, and strikingly beautiful.
Sophia stepped back and introduced her,"Brother, this is my master — Elder Ella of the Ice Fairy Sect."
Adrian respectfully bowed, but at the same time, quietly activated his Golden Eye.

Adrian calmly asked,"Elder Ella, if it pleases you, I would like to take my sister with me. She must be exhausted from the journey."
Ella smiled graciously,"Of course. We'll be staying here in Sphere City for a while. In fact, after the auction, Sophia was meant to join you anyway. You may take her now if you wish."
Adrian nodded with gratitude and gently led Sophia toward the nearby inn.
As they walked, he said warmly,"Let's eat something first. Then you can rest for a while. We'll explore Sphere City together this evening."
Elina and Ming Hao agreed with soft smiles.
As they strolled ahead, Adrian reactivated his Golden Eye, this time… on Sophia.

Adrian's eyes gleamed.
"Her fate points just jumped by 50… That's a good sign. Something major must have shifted in her life."
But then, his gaze dropped to a simple pouch tied around her waist.
A low-grade storage pouch — limited capacity, poor quality.
"For someone like her? A princess… my sister? She deserves much better."
He issued a silent command to the system:
[System Command]"System, prepare a high-grade storage ring and include the following items inside:"
Body Refining Pill – 1
Bone Marrow Pill – 1
Dantian Expansion Pill – 1
Healing Potion – 20 Bottles
Qi Restoration Potion – 30 Bottles
Low-Grade Spirit Stones – 1 Million
One Heaven-Grade Sword
Two Protective Armors
Defense Runes – 15
Attack Runes – 15
With nearly 40 million spirit stones and over 9,000 shop points in hand, Adrian had no concern about resources.
What mattered most to him — was protecting and empowering those he loved.
"My sister will never lack anything again. Nor will she feel beneath anyone ever again."
