His earlier goofiness and exhilaration vanished, replaced by a Yang Qing who sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing and the rhythm of his entire being to resonate with the effects of the heart quenching mulberry dew as he surrendered himself to its influence.
The dew's effects had been curbed by the clear jade vial, which didn't serve merely as a container but also subdued its influence on its surroundings. Which meant Yang Qing had to really push the limits of his soul and open himself up further for the dew to have any effect on him.
His green hair, almost like receding water, transformed from its natural deep green to pure white, as though carved from the surface of moon jade. His skin went from golden bronze to lustrous white. A gentle, tranquil, and refreshing coolness radiated from his body, rippling outwards and covering the entire room.
