【The Divine Eagle Empire】(Unabridged Volume 2, Chapter 47)

Chapter 47 Princess Tanxue

The sun was just rising, a cold wind was blowing, and the sky was somewhat gray. A hazy mist dampened Wu Tianjiao's hair,

water droplets falling from his head, running down his face, and over his dry lips. He licked the water droplets and opened

his still-stingling eyes. His hand moved slightly, and a sharp pain shot through him. He saw that

the wound on his arm, inflicted by the sable fox, had scabbed over and fallen off, reminding him of the first part of what had happened last night, of that ghostly figure

, almost as if in a dream.

Wu Tianjiao stood up. His clothes had long since burned to ashes, leaving a chill. He tried circulating his energy, and

his strength had recovered by more than half. Most of his wounds had healed completely, as if he had never been injured, without a single scar.

Only the wound on his chest and abdomen from the Heavenly Spirit Mother's Kunyue Divine Sword had not yet healed and was still painful. Even so, Wu

Tianjiao couldn't help but be surprised by his abnormal physique. Seeing the Heavenly Spirit Mother still lying there, he hurried over to check on

her condition . He heard a faint breath coming from her fingertips, and Wu Tianjiao couldn't help but admire her. The Heavenly Spirit Mother had been nearly drowned by the water,

and then bled so much by that ghostly figure, yet she was still alive. It was clear her martial arts skills were not for nothing

!

Recalling the scene from last night, Wu Tianjiao was still vivid in his mind, feeling lingering fear. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was truly a case of two clams

fighting, and a third party reaping the benefits. If he hadn't fought the Heavenly Spirit Mother to the point of exhaustion, depleting his own strength, he wouldn't

have fallen into almost lost his life. What a close call!

Wu Tianjiao was currently naked, so he immediately took out a set of clothes from his ethereal ring and put them on. Seeing that

the Heavenly Spirit Mother was completely soaked, he knew she couldn't continue like this. With good intentions, Wu Tianjiao removed the outer robe of the Heavenly Spirit Mother

, intending to change her into clean clothes. With the outer robe removed, the Heavenly Spirit Mother's snow-white

skin below the neck was revealed. Her original bodice, soaked in water, had long since loosened, and her slightly exposed pectoral muscles were quite full, especially

the deep cleavage, which was breathtaking. Wu Tianjiao couldn't help but admire it a few more times, reaching out his "devilish" hand to pinch and grab her

breasts, finding them quite pleasant and elastic. Just as Wu Tianjiao was further removing the Heavenly Spirit Mother's clothes, having removed half of them, a faint sound

came from the northwest of the forest , a woman's voice faintly heard, growing closer. Startled, Wu Tianjiao disregarded the Heavenly Spirit Mother and quickly hid behind a large tree, peering towards the northwest. 　　After a while, the figures of two women appeared before Wu Tianjiao, gradually approaching and becoming clearer. They were none other than Wu Qingshuang and the Heavenly Spirit Mother's disciple, the colorful-clad girl Liu Ziyan. The two women followed the trail of Wu Tianjiao and the Heavenly Spirit Mother, becoming friends along the way, until they finally found the Heavenly Spirit Mother. 　　"Master!" 　　Liu Ziyan was shocked to see the Heavenly Spirit Mother lying on the ground, her breasts half-exposed and unconscious. She rushed to the Heavenly Spirit Mother, helped her up, and cried out, "Master! Master..." Wu Qingshuang was greatly surprised and looked around, but could not see Wu Tianjiao. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the wound on the Heavenly Spirit Mother's arm, she hurriedly said, "Miss Ziyan, your master is injured. Quickly take her back to heal! Biyue Manor is not far from here. Let's go to my Biyue Manor !" 　　Liu Ziyan nodded, disregarding everything else, and hurriedly carried her master on her back, leaving with Wu Qingshuang. 　　Wu Tianjiao slowly emerged from behind the tree, watching Wu Qingshuang and Liu Ziyan's departing figures. He sighed , looked up at the rising sun, and muttered to himself, "I should return to the capital!" 　　Three hours later, Wu Tianjiao emerged from the mountains and arrived at the north bank of the Dragon River. The long Dragon River originates from the Tianxue Mountain range, which borders the western part of the Divine Eagle Empire and the Asura Empire. It flows eastward from Tianxue Mountain, traversing the territory of the Divine Eagle Empire and emptying directly into the vast East Sea. 　　Upon reaching the Dragon River, the air became increasingly humid. The Dragon River, which runs through the Divine Eagle Empire and divides the empire into two major regions, is over a hundred zhang wide. Its calm and wide waters are ideal for navigation, making it a vital waterway for east-west travel. 　　Wu Tianjiao gazed at the Dragon River ahead and saw seven or eight medium-sized ferries sailing on its surface. Looking to the right, a massive white ship, at least five stories high, was slowly approaching from the east. The words "Chaoyang" (Rising Sun) were emblazoned in large red characters on the center of its hull. Judging from its size, it was likely a passenger ship owned by a wealthy family . 　　"This ship is heading straight for the capital. Taking this ship to the capital wouldn't be bad!" 　　This thought flashed through Wu Tianjiao's mind. Standing on the riverbank, he remained steadfast despite the strong north wind whipping against him, his body unwavering. One eye, like an eagle's, was fixed on the slowly approaching "Chaoyang. 　　" Just as the "Chaoyang" reached the middle of the river, about fifty feet to Wu Tianjiao's left, two sharp glints suddenly shot from Wu Tianjiao's eyes. With a single leap, he soared into the middle of the river, landing with a "plop!" 　　in the eastward-flowing Dragon River. 　　Upon entering the water, Wu Tianjiao immediately felt the powerful undercurrents. The icy river water seeped into the wounds on his chest and abdomen, causing immediate pain. He endured the pain and swam towards the center of the river using both hands and feet. 　　After a short while, Wu Tianjiao had swum nearly forty zhang (approximately 33 meters) underwater, and slowly began to see the bottom of the "Chaoyang" ship. Only then did Wu Tianjiao slowly surface. 　　As soon as he surfaced, Wu Tianjiao saw the "Chaoyang" ship slowly approaching like a giant. He hurriedly swam towards the port side of the "Chaoyang. 　　" Upon reaching the side of the "Chaoyang," Wu Tianjiao immediately gripped the side of the ship tightly with one hand, mustered his strength, and a suction force immediately formed in his palm . Using this suction force, he rose upwards like a gecko, instantly landing on the port side passage of the "Chaoyang." 　　Wu Tianjiao immediately tiptoed towards the stern of the ship to inspect the situation aboard the "Chaoyang." After quickly searching the stern, he ascended the stairs to the third floor. 　　Upon reaching the third floor, Wu Tianjiao slowly made his way forward through the starboard passageway. As he reached the center of the ship, he immediately sensed a powerful surge of true energy emanating from one of the rooms on the top floor. This extremely powerful energy conveyed an extremely domineering aura, like a ruler surveying his domain, compelling one to submit to its power. 　　Discovering such a master on board, Wu Tianjiao was horrified and hurriedly sealed off all the capillaries in his body.

He carefully closed the window to prevent his inner energy from leaking out and alerting the other person to his presence. Fortunately, Wu Tianjiao's inner energy was vast and profound,

almost imperceptible; otherwise, he would likely have already been detected by the mysterious expert on the fourth floor.

Finding the expert on the fourth floor completely still, Wu Tianjiao immediately recalled an ancient saying:

"The most dangerous place is the safest place!"

He then pushed open the window beside him, climbed over the wall, and entered the room, intending to stay in the room

below .

After gently closing the window, Wu Tianjiao turned around and was startled by the scene before him.

The room was over thirty feet wide. In the center of the room was a round table made of cypress wood,

on which sat a meticulously trimmed bonsai. On each side of the table were four chairs, also

made of cypress wood, with eagle-shaped carvings on their bodies—the craftsmanship was breathtaking.

A four-cornered bed stood against the left corner, its quilts, sheets, and other items almost entirely woven from pink

silk gauze. To the right front were three wooden wardrobes, which, when opened, were filled with countless

women's clothes. Next to the wardrobes was a small room partitioned off with cypress wood; stepping inside, it turned out to be a

bathroom, filled with various bath products.

Seeing this, Wu Tianjiao couldn't help but ponder, "Judging from the scale of this ship, its owner is

definitely not an ordinary wealthy family. If not a prince or nobleman of the current dynasty, then they must be a member of the imperial family. Otherwise,

it's impossible to own such a luxurious vessel. Judging from the five floors above ground and the number of floors underwater,

this ship is at least seven stories high. Who in the current Divine Eagle Empire could own such a luxurious ship? Furthermore,

this room seems to be designed for women. Not only is the room magnificent, but even every piece of clothing in the wardrobe

is made of silk and cotton. Who has such status to stay in such a luxurious room?"

Thinking of this, Wu Tianjiao couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Although Wu Tianjiao was born in the Divine Eagle Empire and was ostensibly the third young master of the Wu family,

before , he was a commoner from a low social class. He hadn't spent much time in the capital and

knew very little about the lives of the empire's upper class. Therefore, no matter how hard Wu Tianjiao racked his brains, he couldn't come to any conclusion.

Wu Tianjiao, filled with countless doubts, looked at the neatly folded quilt and thought to himself, "This ship

is so large, with at least thirty or forty rooms. It's unlikely this luxurious room is already

occupied! While there aren't many people on board now, I'll stay here and heal my chest

and abdomen wounds. Once he's healed, I'll disembark!"

After searching the room again, Wu Tianjiao sat cross-legged on the bed, gently pulled down the pink

curtains, and began to calm his mind, slowly activating the Healing Heart Technique from the Heavenly Cauldron Divine Art to treat the sword

wounds on his chest and abdomen.

As the sun gradually set and the moon slowly rose in the east, the "Chaoyang" ship, sailing on the Dragon River, was like

a tireless giant, continuously moving forward.

During this time, when Wu Tianjiao, with all his thoughts at peace, entered the most crucial stage of his cultivation, the luxurious "

Chaoyang suddenly began to slow down. Soon, the "Chaoyang" slowly approached the shore and stopped

at a dock along the river.

At this moment, a tall, robust middle-aged man slowly emerged from one of the rooms on the fourth floor.

Immediately after his appearance, the doors of several other rooms nearby opened, and ten middle-aged men in silver-white

military uniforms rushed out. Each of them carried an oil lamp.

They immediately headed towards the stern and descended the stairs, standing

respectfully .

Soon after, the tall, middle-aged man descended the stairs from the starboard passageway and stood

before the ten men.

Upon closer inspection, the man appeared to be in his early fifties, standing at least six and a half feet tall, with thick eyebrows, large

eyes, and jet-black hair. His sharply defined face exuded a resolute and determined spirit. Upon reaching them, the man

crossed his arms and stared intently ahead. This man was none other than Xiong Fei, the leader of the five Divine Eagle Guards of the Divine Eagle Empire

, known as "Hercules."

"Hercules" Xiong Fei is a highly skilled martial artist, said to rank among the top ten in the capital. A year ago, he

fought a fierce battle against the renowned General Zhao Dianchen of the Empire in the capital's martial arts arena, defeating Zhao Dianchen within a thousand moves. Therefore,

Xiong Fei's reputation is equally high within the Divine Eagle Empire's army. His reason for leaving the capital and coming here

is primarily to protect Princess Tan Xue, the twenty-fifth princess of the Empire, who is traveling.

Three days ago, Princess Tan Xue insisted on disembarking with only four attendants to visit a friend, so

the "Chaoyang" was entrusted to "Hercules" Xiong Fei. Now, three days have passed, and Xiong Fei has specially turned the ship around

to welcome Princess Tan Xue back.

The eleven people stood quietly at the stern, awaiting Princess Tan Xue's arrival.

Half an hour later, five young women slowly walked along the riverbank dock under the moonlight. Soon, the

five girls boarded the "Chaoyang." Leading the group was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen,

with a refined and elegant appearance. Dressed in white gauze, her gait was graceful and exuded an

air of nobility.

The four girls behind her were all clad in golden armor, with athletic builds, clearly possessing considerable

martial arts skills.

Upon seeing the girl board, ten men in silver-white military uniforms immediately knelt on one knee and said in unison,

"The guards welcome the princess aboard!"

"Hercules" Xiong Fei, who had been waiting for Princess Tanxue at the stern,

smiled and said, "Xiong Fei welcomes Your Highness aboard. Please

come upstairs for a meal!"

Princess Tanxue waved her right hand lightly and nodded wearily to the group, saying, "No need for formalities,

Guard Xiong, please lead the way!"

"Hercules" Xiong Fei led the way, guiding Princess Tanxue to the official dining hall.

Wu Tianjiao, who was hiding in the woman's boudoir practicing his internal energy to heal his wounds, had no idea who had come to the ship. He didn't even realize that the "

Chaoyang " had set sail again. His only thought was to heal the sword wound in his chest and abdomen as soon as possible.

An hour later, Princess Tanxue finally emerged from the official hall. Four

beautiful women in golden armor were already waiting outside. Upon seeing her, they exclaimed in unison, "

Greetings Your Highness!"

Princess Tanxue hummed in response and went down the stairs along the starboard passage to the door of one of the rooms. The door

to this room bore the two large golden characters "Royal Use."

Princess Tanxue stood at the door for a moment, then turned to her four female guards and said, "You've

all worked hard these past few days. Go and rest. There's no need to leave anyone guarding the door. I want to be alone.

You may leave."

She then pushed open the door and entered her private bedroom.

Once inside, Princess Tanxue went to the table and lit the oil lamp. Feeling exhausted, she

went to wardrobe and took out a close-fitting suit and a white silk long dress. She then went to the bathroom on the right

and began to bathe. Half an hour later, Princess Tanxue slowly emerged from the bathroom.

After bathing, Princess Tanxue changed into a white silk one-piece palace dress, adorned with a flower-

shaped hair ornament, her hair cascading down to her waist. Her curvaceous figure moved gracefully with

a captivating gait, yet her eyes held a dignified and upright air, devoid of any seductive intent. Her demeanor exuded a noble air, deterring

any malicious thoughts.

As Princess Tanxue prepared to return to her bed, she noticed

the pink curtains had been drawn, and behind them, a white figure could be vaguely seen.

Startled, Princess Tanxue quickly turned to call for the four female guards residing next door to assist her.

However , at that moment, Princess Tanxue's heart stirred. She temporarily abandoned the idea of calling for help, staring at the

motionless figure behind the curtain. Curiosity filled her as she thought, "Who is this person? Why did he sneak into my bedroom

? If he were truly a villain, he should have already attacked me. Why hasn't he made

a move yet?"

With this thought, Princess Tanxue's curiosity intensified, and she gently lifted the curtain with her delicate hand.

Before her eyes stood a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was handsome,

with a robust physique, and wore a white top. He sat upright, completely still, with a faint white aura

circulating around him. Seeing this, Princess Tanxue suddenly realized something

and thought to herself, "This person was practicing martial arts. No wonder he didn't attack me immediately. He's handsome and

doesn't seem like a bad person. Why would he come to my boudoir to practice martial arts for no reason? Moreover,

the martial arts he practices are so unique. He must have already reached the level of Qi Condensation. Even compared to Guard Xiong, he's

probably not far off! If I call the Four Guards now, it will probably cause a commotion. Once

Guard Xiong is alerted, given his loyal and dutiful nature, he will definitely not tolerate a strange man entering my

boudoir. It will be difficult to save this man then. It seems I should wait until he finishes practicing before

carefully questioning him about his background!"

With that thought, Princess Tanxue immediately turned around and sat down on a chair to rest.

Princess Tanxue sat there for nearly two hours, utterly exhausted, and unknowingly fell asleep in the chair.

She only slowly awoke after all the lights on the distant shore had gone out.

Opening her eyes, she immediately noticed a faint light flickering before her, and then realized she wasn't asleep

in the chair, but lying in her warm bed, covered with a silk quilt.

Princess Tanxue was instantly terrified, hurriedly getting up to check herself for anything amiss. After a moment,

finding nothing wrong, she slowly relaxed, composed herself, and looked up into the spacious

room .

There she saw the young man who had been practicing his martial arts on her bed, now sitting in the chair she had just been in.

Seeing her awake, he immediately stood up and smiled at her.

"My name is Ma Tianwu! I was injured and in a hurry to find a place to heal, so I accidentally barged into your boudoir.

Please forgive my rudeness!"

Wu Tianjiao said with a smile. He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he made up a pseudonym. He reversed his original name, and since he couldn't

use the surname "Jiao," he took half of the character "Jiao" and

used

the radical "Ma." Seeing this young man who called himself "Ma Tianwu" politely apologizing to her, Princess Tanxue thought to herself, "Luckily, I didn't misjudge him. This man isn't an evil person. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have already fallen victim to his evil deeds!"

Little did she know that when Wu Tianjiao hugged her, he had taken full advantage of her body, but Wu

Tianjiao had been unusually proper for a while and did not take advantage of her.

Princess Tanxue got out of bed and walked towards Wu Tianjiao. Her pearly white teeth slightly parted, she said softly, "So Young Master Ma

was healing himself with internal energy. I thought you were practicing martial arts! I am Tanxue, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Although I

am not a member of the martial arts world, I know a little about the major sects in the country.

Judging from , Young Master Ma's martial arts must be quite strong. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

Hearing Princess Tanxue's words, Wu Tianjiao was momentarily stunned, unsure how to answer

. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Well… Miss Tanxue, to be honest, my martial arts come from two sects.

One is my family's martial arts, and the other is the Xiaoyao Sect!"

After hearing Wu Tianjiao's answer, Princess Tanxue thought for a while, searching her memory but still couldn't recall what the "

Xiaoyao Sect" was. Princess Tanxue stared intently at Wu Tianjiao with her large, watery eyes, thinking to herself, "

What is the background of this Ma Tianwu? I've never heard of a 'Xiaoyao Sect' within the Empire. Could he be a sect from another country?

Why injured? Strange, his face looks so familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"

Seeing Princess Tanxue's bewildered expression, Wu Tianjiao thought to himself, "Judging from her deep

thought , could it be that I've given myself away? Is she suspicious?"

Just as Wu Tianjiao began to worry, Princess Tanxue's expression suddenly changed. She pointed at Wu Tianjiao and said,

"I know who you are! You are not Ma Tianwu, you are the third son of Prince Jinyang, Wu Wudi, the newly appointed

Golden Knife Imperial Son-in-Law, Wu Tianjiao!"

Uh! Wu Tianjiao was greatly surprised, not expecting Princess Tanxue to recognize his background. However, a thought suddenly occurred to him...

A sense of relief washed over him, and a sunny smile spread across his face as he said to Princess Tanxue, "You guessed right! I

am Wu Tianjiao. How did you recognize me?"

He then calmly sat down in a chair, quietly observing Princess Tanxue and awaiting her answer.

Princess Tanxue walked to the opposite side of Wu Tianjiao and sat down in the chair in front of him. A sweet smile appeared on her fair face

as she said, "I've seen your portrait. You look familiar. Did you think you

could fool me by using a fake name and reversing it?" "

Oh!" Wu Tianjiao was slightly startled. From her elegant speech and composed demeanor, he sensed that she was no ordinary

woman . He asked, "How did you come to know my portrait? Now that you know my identity, shouldn't you

tell me your true identity?"

Hearing Wu Tianjiao's question, Princess Tanxue calmly replied, "Golden Knife Prince Consort,

how could you be so foolish? Didn't you see the two words written on the bed?"

She then pointed to the luxurious embroidered bed in the room with her right hand.

Following Princess Tanxue's pointing finger, Wu Tianjiao immediately saw the two large golden

characters "Royal Use" written on the edge of the bed. His expression changed slightly, and he turned to Princess Tanxue, asking, "Are you a member of the royal family?"

Princess Tanxue nodded and said with a smile, "Young master guessed correctly! I am indeed a member of the imperial family,

ranking twenty-fifth among the twenty-eight princesses. Princess Tanxue,

you ."

Hearing Princess Tanxue's words, Wu Tianjiao laughed again. Standing up, Wu Tianjiao bowed respectfully to Princess Tanxue

and said, "Wu Tianjiao greets Your Highness and thanks you for sparing my life!"

Seeing Wu Tianjiao thank her, Princess Tanxue couldn't help but smile and ask, "Wu Tianjiao, I never

said I would pardon your crimes. Why are you thanking me?"

Wu Tianjiao replied with a smile, "Just now, while I was healing my injuries, Your Highness didn't order anyone to

arrest . This shows that Your Highness already intended to pardon me. Am I right?"
