Lan Jiwan knelt on a cushion, very upright, resembling the ancient seated posture of the Eastern Country, with a slight nod, her upper body held very straight.
He Kao stood in front of her, reaching out as if to touch the top of her head, seemingly touching yet not touching, because his hand was glowing.
Upon closer inspection, he was pinching a piece of Xue Guanghan with three fingers. The cold, bright light seemed to be gathered, shining right in front of Lan Jiwan's forehead, like an invisible stream of water entering her body.
Lan Jiwan's entire body emitted a faint glow, and He Kao's other hand seemed to have snapped his fingers silently. All the lights in the Martial Arts Hall went out, making the glow even more apparent.
Even through her clothes, the aura of her body was faintly visible. The parts exposed outside of her clothing, such as her cheeks, neck, and hands, appeared semi-transparent, truly like ice skin and jade bones.
