After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 615 Prove It to Me
Canulius led Yu Xia beyond their current area, and only then did Yu Xia sense Raphael's presence from afar.

It was pitch black all around, and snowflakes drifted in the silent night.

Yu Xia wondered what Raphael was doing outside so late.
Canulius felt her shoulders shrink, so he pulled her closer. "Are you cold?"

Yu Xia was wearing combat gear to keep warm, so she didn't feel too cold, but her exposed skin was still cold.

She turned her face toward Canulius and put her hands in his arms, not wanting to get cold at all.

Canulius was taken aback by her natural and intimate gesture.

A strange, indescribable ache welled up in his chest, mixed with a touch of joy and happiness.

Much later, Canulius realized that this was an emotion called happiness.

"He's there."

Canulius, carrying Yu Xia, stopped on the rooftop of a building. Yu Xia followed his gaze and saw Raphael standing in the middle of the street, his powerful spiritual energy spreading out from him, a faint glow illuminating the darkness around him.

The other sentries kept their distance from Raphael, who stood alone in the darkness, his light appearing weak and as if it might be swallowed by the darkness at any moment.

“Raphael is still searching for the people who have taken refuge,” Canulius said, looking at him. “He has given orders that no one is allowed to approach him unless absolutely necessary.”

After saying that, Canulius turned his gaze back to Yu Xia, "He has a cold temper and is not easy to get along with. Are you going to see him now?"

Yu Xia nodded. "Put me down, I'll go by myself."

Canulius: "I'll take you down."

Yu Xia grabbed his arm. "I'll get down myself."

She knew Raphael's temper. Canulius was now under the Holy City's command, and if he were to associate with her, a sea princess, Raphael might cause him trouble.

Canulius wanted to persist, but Yu Xia was even more persistent than him, so after thinking for a moment, he put her down.

It was already puzzling that Boti, as the highest-ranking member of the sea tribe, would come to see Raphael. He also wanted to know what the relationship between Boti and Raphael was.

Anyway, he was watching her from behind, so if Raphael made a move against Potty, he could step in in time.

Yu Xia sat on the little dolphin and headed towards Raphael.

She stared intently at him, her heart pounding, and mental energy appeared in her hands as a precaution.

Raphael has the most acute mental power; once he senses it's her, he will likely launch an attack.

Not only him, but the sentries of the Holy City will also take action.

Yu Xia glanced down at the street below. The sentries were standing a dozen meters away from Raphael, neither too close nor too far, but close enough to attack her.

Dealing with the sentries wasn't difficult for her; it was just easy to expose her identity as a guide.

The spiritual power of guides and sentinels is different, and this is easily distinguishable to the well-trained sentinels of the Holy City.

Moreover, Naruno and his group were among these sentries.

She hadn't paid much attention to them during the day, and she hadn't seen Naruno and the others at the outpost either. They weren't with Raphael, and she didn't know what they were doing.

Yu Xia's gaze swept over the Holy City sentinels, and she saw Mingye, Zongci, and Zongyu.
The light was too dim, and Yu Xia couldn't tell which of the twins was which.

Souha and Souichi usually go on missions together, so why is it that only one of them showed up today? Is the other one at the hotel where they're resting, protecting the other Ivi?

Yu Xia looked at him for a moment, then turned her attention back to Raphael.

She couldn't worry about anything else for the time being; right now, she needed to figure out how to deal with Raphael.

Afraid of alerting the sentries, Yu Xia activated her mental barrier and approached Raphael.

She stopped about four or five meters away from him.

Raphael still had his back to her.

Only when they were so close did Yu Xia realize with a start that Raphael hadn't noticed her at all.

Yu Xia stared at his back for a while with hesitation, then calmed herself down and continued to approach him.

When they were less than two meters away from Raphael, a golden vine suddenly stood up and was aimed at Yu Xia.

Yu Xia immediately dared not go any further.

Canulius was keeping a close eye on her direction, and when he saw Raphael make a move, he immediately flew in their direction.

Yu Xia activated his mental shield, so he couldn't see anyone. He could only judge their current state based on Raphael's actions.

As soon as he went down, the holy city sentries guarding around Raphael spotted him immediately.

"Lord Raphael has ordered that no one is allowed to approach."

Naruno and Muneha stepped forward and stopped Canulius.

Canulius stopped at the distance they had set, his gaze fixed on the shadow in front of Raphael.

Naruno and Muneha also noticed something and looked at Raphael at the same time.

At this moment, Yu Xia sat motionless on her spiritual body, watching Raphael.

At this moment, she should say or do something to let Raphael know her purpose, so as to prevent him from harming her and others from discovering her.

But upon seeing him, she suddenly found herself speechless.

When she decided to see him, she knew she had returned to his side.

Raphael was probably furious when she made a grand departure, determined to escape the Holy City.

To be honest, she wasn't really afraid. Perhaps over the years, she had gotten used to making Raphael angry, and Raphael had gotten used to her antics and even her deliberate harassment.

So what is she afraid of, and what is she hesitating about?

Is it because they're afraid of being locked up in that cage in the Holy City again?

She didn't seem so afraid anymore; she already knew how to proceed and had her own plans.

Thinking this, Yu Xia took a deep breath, stepped off her spiritual body, and walked towards Raphael.

Raphael stood there, looking at her indifferently, neither pleased nor angry, as if she were a stranger.

Seeing that he didn't intend to make a move, Yu Xia guessed what he was thinking and was about to speak when the golden vines standing beside him moved and stabbed at her.

Yu Xia's breath hitched slightly, and she stopped in her tracks.

The golden vines stopped in front of her forehead, their sharp points barely touching her skin, threatening to pierce her head at any moment.

Raphael's silver-gray eyes shifted slightly as he glanced behind her. Another golden vine flew out, pulling away the Canulius spirit that had quietly approached.

Yu Xia looked up at the golden vines pointing at her forehead and thought that Raphael hadn't remembered her yet. She should release the golden seeds to prove her golden identity.

However, for a sea princess to pull out a spiritual entity belonging to the golden bloodline, isn't that a bit too frightening?
Given the relationship between the sea tribes and the Holy City, Raphael would only assume that she might have harmed some Ivi and obtained a spiritual body through some means. After all, it's not impossible to do such a thing; Harrisonchar and the others are examples.

Therefore, she should continue to deal with him by using her identity as a sea princess.

If we could fool him, that would be even better.

Although she felt the chances were slim, she insisted on taking it one step at a time and allowing for some buffer time.

The sudden transformation of the sea princess into Ivi was a shock to him no less than to the sea people themselves.

“Lord Raphael.” Yu Xia composed herself and said calmly, “I’ve come to see you because I have something to discuss.”

Raphael remained silent, staring at her expressionlessly. After a moment, the golden vines stirred, brushing aside the hair on her forehead and stroking it.

Yu Xia's body stiffened slightly.

The golden vines lingered on her dark forehead for only two seconds before tracing down her face and lifting her chin. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yu Xia stood outside the door, hesitant to go in.

She looked into the room and saw Raphael already sitting on the sofa, looking up at her.

This was a hotel next to the small square. Raphael didn't say more than a few words to her before walking towards the hotel, and she had no choice but to follow him.

It would be best to talk to him alone, away from other people.

"How long are you going to stand outside?" Raphael: "Come in."

Yu Xia paused, quickly composed herself, and walked towards him.

As soon as she entered the room, the door closed behind her.

Yu Xia became slightly nervous.

However, Raphael probably won't make a move against her. If he wanted to, he could have revealed her identity right outside and let everyone in the Holy City see that this sea princess was trying to "ambush" him.

After thinking it over, Yu Xia felt much more at ease.

The room was dark, and the whole area was without power. She could only use the little light coming in from outside and the faint glow from Raphael to find her way to the sofa.

Yu Xia sat down opposite Raphael.

With a soft sound, Yu Xia looked down and saw that the golden vines had rolled up the kettle and poured her a glass of water.

"Speak," Raphael said, manipulating the golden vines to push the water glass in front of her. "What do you want?"

Hearing his calm tone, Yu Xia felt a little more at ease.

She picked up her water glass and took a sip; the water was hot.

As Yu Xia drank her water, she glanced at Raphael. The golden energy on his body had been withdrawn, and the light gradually dimmed, eventually extinguishing like a firefly.

The room was completely plunged into darkness, and Yu Xia could no longer see his face.

"I'm here to talk to you about the evacuation of residents in the North Six Districts." Yu Xia cut straight to the point. "I've already calculated it during the day, and with the guides we have, it's simply impossible to complete the evacuation within the time limit."

"Lord Raphael must be aware of this as well."

Yu Xia looked at the figure in the darkness and remembered how she could always find Raphael in the dark when they were in the Holy City.

As one of the purest Ivy with the golden bloodline and the most powerful golden priest with the strongest spiritual power, his golden energy manifests on his body, making him glow wherever he goes.

“You think,” Raphael began slowly, “that I cannot complete the evacuation of District Six in the North.”

Before she could answer, Raphael continued, "If I can't do it, who can? You? Your Highness."

"I came to find you about this matter."

After Yu Xia finished speaking, she raised her right hand to him and opened her palm.

A golden seed appeared in her palm.

This is her golden flower spirit body, which is currently in a dormant state due to a lack of golden energy.

Even in its dormancy, the golden seed contains a very rich amount of golden energy. It exudes a strong vitality, and its golden light dispels the darkness, illuminating the entire living room.

Yu Xia didn't need to say much; this golden seed was enough to prove her identity.

Even if Raphael didn't believe her at first, she had other evidence to prove it.

“This is my spiritual body.” Yu Xia explained first, fearing that Raphael would not believe her and would question her. “Although I am a princess of the sea tribe, I have half golden blood. If you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you.”

After Yu Xia finished speaking, she looked at Raphael, waiting for his response.

Raphael looked at her golden seed for a moment, leaned back on the sofa, and said calmly, "Prove it to me."

Raphael showed little surprise at Yu Xia, the sea princess, suddenly producing a spiritual entity belonging to the golden bloodline; his indifference made Yu Xia's heart pound.

However, she knew his temper; he was always like this.

Proving one's golden bloodline is not difficult; one only needs to reveal the holy markings on their body.

If the Holy Mark doesn't believe it, then the golden energy on her body can't be faked.

Yu Xia made two preparations tonight. One was to do what she was doing now, to tell Raphael that she had half of the golden bloodline, based on her status as a sea princess. Ideally, only he would know, so that she could extricate herself after cooperating with him.

The second worst-case scenario is that Raphael has already remembered her, and she has been discovered, captured, and brought back to the Holy City.

Even at worst, it's not that bad. If she can run away once, she can run away countless times. The Holy City will never be able to imprison her.

But the worst part is how she's going to explain this to the sea creatures.

So she still hopes to achieve the first point.

Yu Xia rolled up her sleeves and mobilized the golden energy in her body. The golden lines on her wrists deepened and became very obvious.

Raphael glanced at the lines on her hand, his expression remaining unchanged.

"Just this?" he asked.

Yu Xia paused for a moment, "These are holy runes that only those with golden bloodlines possess."

Raphael: "They're just patterns; any potion can disguise them."

Yu Xia moved the golden seed in front of him, "Can't you feel the energy emanating from my spiritual body?"

Raphael crossed his fingers in front of his abdomen and said coldly, "Spiritual beings can also disguise themselves."

Yu Xia: "Then how do you want me to prove it?"

Raphael looked at her, a faint golden light shining in his dull silver eyes. "Come here."

Yu Xia hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked up to him.

Raphael: "Closer."

Yu Xia took another step forward, almost touching his leg.

"Lord Raphael, what do you wish to do?"

Before she could finish speaking, golden vines suddenly flew out, wrapped around her waist, and pulled her.

Yu Xia immediately lost her balance and fell forward.

Raphael opened his arms and caught her in his embrace.

Upon sensing the familiar scent, Yu Xia kicked her legs and struggled to get up in his arms.

The golden vines wrapped around her legs, making it impossible for her to exert any force.

Yu Xia reached out to grab the sofa, trying to use it for leverage to get up, but the golden vines wrapped around her hand again.

Raphael slipped his hand under her knees and pulled her into his arms, so Yu Xia sat on his lap.

"."

She and he grew up together and were so familiar with each other that they knew each other inside and out. These actions of his were the same ones he had done to her in the past.

Yu Xia was filled with doubt and surprise. Could it be that Raphael remembered her?

Yu Xia wasn't sure, so she could only remain patient and wait for Raphael's next move.

"What do you want to do? How dare you! Let me go!" Yu Xia said, feigning anger.

Raphael wrapped one arm around her waist and the other hand caressed her face. "Didn't you want to prove your golden bloodline?"
