Urban Wolf King
Chapter 16 - 16 16 Priceless Treasure

16: Chapter 16: Priceless Treasure 16: Chapter 16: Priceless Treasure The icy sensation on his thigh instantly woke Wang Yan up, and he became fully alert.

But the next moment, he gave a wry smile, realizing that what had slipped into his pant leg was the Black Dragon Necklace.

This Catwoman, just to return his Black Dragon Necklace, would really use any means possible.

As Wang Yan stood there stunned, he saw Catwoman approach him closely, tilt her head up, and with a “mwah,” planted a kiss on his face.

A vermilion lip print was immediately left on Wang Yan’s cheek.

Then Catwoman swayed back with a smug look and said, “I returned the Black Dragon Necklace to you, and even left you a lip mark.

This time, you owe me, not the other way around.”

With that, Catwoman kept retreating until she gradually vanished into the darkness, her voice echoing from within, “The Black Dragon Association is a huge organization, with influence throughout Wanghai City.

The Black Dragon Necklace symbolizes identity.

In this city, it’s even more effective than the City Lord’s Order.

Hehehe…

one more thing, cats have nine lives; even if you hadn’t saved me just now, I wouldn’t have died.

So, pretty boy, you owe me big time this time, hahahaha…”

With that, Catwoman completely disappeared into the darkness.

Only after Catwoman disappeared did Wang Yan wipe his still warm cheek with his hand, seeing his sleeve stained in vermilion lipstick.

Wang Yan shook his head helplessly, smiled wryly, and said, “I’ve never seen a fighting style like this before.

Alas, just two days down the mountain, and I’ve already encountered two troublemakers.

It seems reaching the peak of the world is truly fraught with difficulties, and there’s a long way to go.”

Wang Yan bent down, retrieved the Black Dragon Necklace from his pant leg, and under the bright moonlight, saw it was a five-clawed black dragon, with a material that seemed both like iron and wood, containing the same energy as his Demon Pattern.

After observing it for a while, Wang Yan put the Black Dragon Necklace around his neck and turned to leave.

At this time, in the Beiming Family, Elder Beiming was standing by a desk, holding a brush, his strokes flowing like a dragon on a piece of rice paper.

After a few strokes, Elder Beiming proudly said, “How’s my calligraphy?

It’s getting better and better.”

At this moment, Beiming Bufan and Beiming Xue were standing on either side of Elder Beiming, looking down at the words on the table.

Although not finished, it was clear it was supposed to be “Young Hero.”

These four characters were powerful and vigorous, with sharp brushstrokes, truly extraordinary.

Beiming Bufan smiled and said, “Father, your calligraphy is top-notch in all of Wanghai City.

It’s usually hard to get even one word, and today you’ve written four.”

Beiming Xue recited, “Young Hero.

Grandpa, are you planning to give this to Brother Wang Yan?”

Beiming Bufan immediately scolded, “Xue’er, although Wang Yan saved your grandfather, you must be careful with your words.

You are a young lady of a distinguished family; stop calling him ‘Brother.’ We know nothing about Wang Yan’s background or parents, as he grew up in the mountains.”

On hearing Beiming Bufan’s reprimand, Beiming Xue immediately pouted and said, “Brother Wang Yan is a good person, and he said that standing at the world’s peak is the only way to find his father.

His father must also be great.”

Beiming Bufan snorted coldly and said, “Standing at the world’s peak?

Only young people like you can say such arrogant and untamed things.

How can one easily stand at the peak of the world?”

Elder Beiming lifted the brush and said, “A hero is not asked about his origins; I think Wang Yan is a promising young friend with a bright future.

Bufan, mind your own business with Xue’er’s affairs.

Hmph, you didn’t ask for my consent when you betrothed Xue’er to that rascal Xiahou Que.

Xiahou Que is clearly no good.”

Seeing Elder Beiming angry, Beiming Bufan dared not say more and hurriedly changed the subject, “By the way, Wang Yan prescribed a medicine for you yesterday.

Perhaps we should send someone to fetch it.

It’s a traditional medicine prescription.”

At this time, Elder Beiming was about to finish the last stroke of “Young Hero,” and as he wrote, he said, “Bring the prescription, let me have a look.”

Beiming Bufan quickly took out a paper from his pocket, and opening it, saw it was a prescription written with a brush.

Elder Beiming had originally planned to finish the last stroke of the word “year” in “Young Hero,” so he merely glanced at the prescription at first.

But the moment Elder Beiming glanced at the prescription, his eyes became glued to it, and he became immediately solemn.

Beiming Bufan was taken aback and cautiously asked, “Father, is there something wrong with the prescription?”

But Elder Beiming’s eyes remained fixed on the prescription, so he hadn’t heard Beiming Bufan’s question at all.

“Father, Father…” Beiming Bufan called several times urgently.

Only then did Elder Beiming snap back to reality as if awakening from a dream, exclaiming, “Oh dear,” and he dropped the brush to the ground, quickly snatching the prescription from Beiming Bufan’s hand.

He asked, his voice trembling, “Who…

who wrote this prescription?”

Beiming Bufan replied puzzledly, “It was written by Wang Yan?

Is there something wrong?”

Elder Beiming kept gazing at the prescription with excitement, finally exclaiming, “A miracle, it’s a miracle!

It has the turbulence of Su Dongpo, the force of Huang Tingjian, the elegance of Mi Fu, and the depth of Cai Jing.

Truly a miracle, a miracle!”

Though Beiming Bufan didn’t understand calligraphy, he knew the names Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu, and Cai Jing.

These four were collectively known as the “Four Great Calligraphy Masters” of the Celestial Dynasty, and throughout history, few have been able to surpass them.

It doesn’t even require surpassing; just to be on par with any one of them is already a rare achievement.

However, seeing Elder Beiming claiming the prescription exceeded the “Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai,” was undoubtedly the highest praise for a piece of calligraphy.

Yet, achieving a certain level in calligraphy typically requires decades of dedication.

How could Wang Yan, at such a young age, have mastered calligraphy with such proficiency?

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, “Wang Yan has returned.”

Then, the door opened, and Wang Yan walked in.

At this moment, Wang Yan’s clothes were in tatters, with his sleeves missing entirely.

Beiming Xue hurriedly rushed to Wang Yan, her face full of concern, and asked, “Brother Wang Yan, are you hurt?”

Wang Yan smiled and said apologetically, “I’m fine, but Lone Wolf got away.”

Elder Beiming waved his hand, laughing, “Let him escape.

It’s great that Wang Yan is back safely.

By the way, Wang Yan, I have a favor to ask of you.”

Wang Yan nodded, “Please tell me, sir.”

Elder Beiming laughed, “Don’t call me ‘sir’ so formally; why not call me ‘grandpa’ like Xue’er does?”

Upon hearing Elder Beiming’s words, a flush appeared on Beiming Xue’s face, and she sneaked a glance at Wang Yan before lowering her head.

Wang Yan, though, didn’t think much of it and straightforwardly responded, “Alright, grandpa.”

Elder Beiming was delighted and beckoned, “Come, come.

I have four characters here with one stroke missing.

Help me complete it.”

Wang Yan walked over to the desk and, seeing that the last character “year” in “Young Hero” was missing a stroke, picked up the brush and added the final line.

Seeing the stroke completed, Elder Beiming was astounded and murmured, “Genius, genius!

With this stroke, my four characters have become priceless treasures.”
