Chapter 616 Why does he also want to make a deal with her?
Yu Xia felt that Raphael did it on purpose.

Even if her holy markings could be faked, Raphael could still sense her golden energy from her golden seed spirit body.

This cannot be faked under any circumstances.

He was still wondering how he could prove it.

Yu Xia's hands and feet were bound by Raphael's golden vines. His hand around her waist was positioned too far back, forcing her to fall backward into his hand due to inertia, making it even more difficult for her to sit up properly.

In the past, this would have been just a minor squabble between the two of them.

But right now, she is the highest royal family member of the sea tribe, and he is the golden priest of the holy city. When they are so intimately embracing each other, either of them would feel as if they are hallucinating or dreaming.

Seeing that Raphael was only holding her and not making any further moves, Yu Xia raised her bound hands, her fingertips wrapped in a wisp of golden spiritual energy, and touched his face. "Can you feel it? This is the energy that only the golden bloodline has."

If Raphael still doesn't believe it, then he really is doing it on purpose.

Either they already know who she is, or they're deliberately making things difficult for her.

Raphael looked down at her hand. "It is indeed the aura of the golden bloodline."

Yu Xia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

The next moment, Raphael pressed down on her wrist. "Half sea race blood, half golden blood. The sea race can tolerate you, but do you think our Holy City can?"

Yu Xia: "I don't need the Holy City to tolerate me. I came to you to evacuate the people of the North Sixth District. If the two of us join forces, we can cover the entire North Sixth District with our spiritual power within five days. After cleaning up the pollution in the North Second District, I will return to the ocean and will not meet with the Holy City again, nor will I have any conflict with the Holy City."

After saying that, Yu Xia added, "Other sea creatures won't cause trouble for the Holy City either, I can guarantee that."

"Do they know?"

"what?"

Raphael stared at the strands of hair falling across her chest. "Do your other half of the golden bloodline know about this, Princess Potty?"

Yu Xia opened her mouth slightly, her thoughts racing, and said, "Of course I know."

Raphael looked up at her. "It seems I overestimated them. They have no idea about your golden bloodline."

“They know.” Yu Xia knew that lying to Raphael was no different from farting, but she still stubbornly insisted.

Raphael: "You're afraid of revealing your golden bloodline to them."

This is a statement of affirmation.

"There's no point in telling any lies to me."

Raphael lifted Yu Xia's sleeve, his cool fingers tracing the patterns on her skin. "Instead of trying to fool me, you should think about how to conceal your golden bloodline."

Yu Xia took a deep breath. "Lord Raphael, this mission in the contaminated zone cannot be completed by you and the Holy City alone. I hope to cooperate with you. As for other matters, it's best to avoid any unnecessary complications."

Raphael didn't respond to her words. After stroking her wrist, he moved his fingers to her neck, running them down to the glands on the back of her neck and gently grinding them.

When his sensitive spot was touched, Yu Xia jerked violently in his arms. "What are you doing?"

“You even want to hide your pheromones.” Raphael tightened his grip and lifted her body up slightly. “If you don’t want any trouble, make a deal with me.”

Yu Xia stopped struggling. "A deal?"

Why does he also want to make a deal with her?
“I can help you conceal the characteristics of your golden bloodline.” Raphael leaned closer to her, his warm breath washing over her face, his fingers tracing the back of her hand. “The aura of holy runes and golden energy, including your pheromones, means you no longer need to use disguise agents.”

Yu Xia looked at him with some confusion.

She was a little confused now. Did Raphael recognize her or not?
Knowing Raphael as she did, if he recognized her, he wouldn't have mentioned any deal to her.

So he only knew her secret as a sea princess, and used that to manipulate her?

Yes, just like Canulius.

But Canulius was infatuated with her, and what was Raphael's motivation?
"Why should I make a deal with you?" Yu Xia pulled her hand away, dodging his hand. "Cleansing up the contaminated area is a common goal for everyone. I came to you because of the contaminated area, so I am willing to temporarily put aside the grudges between our two races. Don't think that I am easy to manipulate."

Raphael stared at her for a moment, then picked her up and walked towards the door.

Yu Xia tensed up at his actions. "Where are you going?" Raphael replied, "I'll take you back."

Yu Xia: "Wait!"

Raphael did not stop walking, saying as he went, "Since you want to talk to me about official business, I will now gather both tribes and tell them about your abilities. I'm sure they will be very pleased."

Yu Xia's scalp was about to explode; Raphael was just as annoying as ever!
"Stop! Stop! I agree to the deal!"

Raphael stopped in his tracks and looked down at her.

Yu Xia said irritably, "Put me down and take back this dead vine."

Raphael neither released her nor untied the vines, but instead carried her back to his seat.

"Let's finish negotiating the deal first."

"What deal? Tell me quickly!"

Yu Xia became irritable.

Now she's inclined to believe that Raphael didn't remember her, otherwise what he just did was exactly what he wanted to do—bring her directly to the people of the Holy City.

Raphael hooked his finger along her chin and said, "I want you to come to me anytime."

Yu Xia: "."

"Do you know who I am?" Yu Xia asked the same question she had asked Canulius not long ago.

Raphael said calmly, "The queen of a certain king, the highest royal family of the sea race."

Yu Xia glared at him and said, "You knew that, yet you still made this request?"

Raphael: "It's not a request, it's a deal. I have your secrets. If you don't want the sea creatures to know you have golden blood and are still associating with me, you have no choice but to make a deal with me."

Yu Xia: "Despicable!"

Raphael: "Hmm."

Yu Xia: "Shameless!"

Raphael: "Hmm."

"."

Yu Xia took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "...Damn it."

Now she truly understood the sea creatures' hatred for the Holy City. "The people of the Holy City are indeed despicable!"

Raphael was unmoved by her insults.

Yu Xia and Raphael grew up together and knew that he was very patient and wouldn't even flinch if the house were torn down.

Seeing his nonchalant expression, she became even angrier, wishing she could bite him a couple of times to vent her anger.

Raphael: "I'll give you five more seconds to consider. If you agree, I'll help you stabilize the golden energy within your body. If you disagree, we'll proceed officially. You only have one chance."

After saying that, Raphael began to count down:

"5"

"4"

Yu Xia: "?"

Raphael: "1".

"Yes, yes, yes!" In such a short time, she didn't have enough time to think about anything.

After Yu Xia finished speaking, she couldn't resist biting his neck.

Let's make a deal! It's better than him remembering her and not being able to negotiate any terms.
