The tips of her toes were hit by tiny waves of water and the icy water almost electrocuted her. She felt a strange pain in her body and wanted to back off, but the wish to jump into the cooling water became even more evident.

Her body unconsciously stepped forward one more time and coldness went through her whole body, making her shiver uncontrollably. "Ahhh. Cold!"

The snake started snickering. "Ups. I forgot to tell you. This is the coldest liquid lake I know. Only certain fishes and creatures can survive inside. But if you get over the coldness, the surprise will await you inside."

Kendra jumped out of the water and started rolling in the warm sand behind her. "Oh, cold. I don't feel my legs."

The skin that touched the water was turning reddish and she tried to rub it warm. But, by doing that the skin became even redder and the snake shook her head. It's good to be a snake. Having such a weak body is probably not comfortable at all.

"Stupid human. If you handle a bit of the coldness it won't hurt you much. Your body will get used to it very fast. That is the good thing with cultivators. If you go down and find the ice power stone, then your real power will get open. Or did you think running fast is your skill?" She looked at Kendra with her green eyes and irony. 

Kendra sighed. This body has so many talents. "Do I have to find all my talents right now? I'm hungry."

Suddenly a noise came from the nearby bushes and the two froze. But to their surprise, a tiny pink cat appeared and licked her paws. She looked at Kendra then at the huge snake and snorted. "Human and snake are friends?"

The snake narrowed her eyes. "Too bad creatures like you are inedible, or I'd eat you right now."

"Good that you know. Smart snake. Let me see." The pink cat walked in front of the big snake and nodded. "You are at least almost evolving. Soon you'll become a serpent and then the dragon. I need to work hard to grow my powers and get to the same level as you are. I must say I admire you."

Kendra looked at the two creatures and shook her head. Indeed, a crazy world. Two completely different creatures that can speak and can even evolve? With shiny eyes, she caught the furry animal and cuddled with it. "Soft!"

The cat rolled her eyes. "Stop messing up my hairs. It took me two hours to calm it down. And the big snake was right. You must go to the lake."

Kendra glanced at the slake and could feel the urge to dive inside. The urge was very strong, but she remembered the coldness. "But it is cold..."

The cat rolled her eyes. "How do you plan to survive in this world? Didn't you just say you feel sorry to someone to die too easily? But if you don't get stronger and die again, you will not reincarnate again. You depleted your soul after reincarnating so many times. Now, this might be your last chance to truly live. Take it and live properly."

Kendra looked at the preaching pink cat and started chuckling. She patted the cat's head and became serious. "I know. I'm grateful to both of you and your care."

She carefully put the cat down, stroke the fur evenly and looked at the snake. "You two be good. I'm going in. I trust that you two wouldn't harm me."

Even in her past life, she could feel who is malicious or wanted to cheat on her and who meant it good. That is the reason she could gather such wealth in the past. 

These two creatures are indeed weird, but she really got another chance to live properly. This time she will do so.

As she neared the cold lake her hair already stood up and she had goosebumps, but still pushed herself to enter, making all those tiny creatures rush away.

The lake's clear water started having tiny waves and the sun warmed her upper body, while her body in the water started to cool down, quickly. If she doesn't even up the temperature, it will be more harmful.

With the determination, she dived in and was quite amazed by the sight. The green plants waved under the slow movements of water and hundreds and maybe even thousands of creatures swam or crawled inside it.

She looked left and right and saw many fishes in different colours calmly swimming and some even came close to her. With a calmness, she softly poked at the nearby fish and smiled. How wondrous. They are so friendly that she could touch them without a problem.

She turned her head as she saw something sparkling nearby. As she dived more, the pressure in her ears became more evident and she shook her head. It's deep, very deep. 

As the water was crystal clear it seemed that the shiny thing was right there, but it was deeper than she expected.

She swam to the surface of the water and inhaled air. She could see that she was actually far away from the two creatures that stared at her and she smiled. "I'm fine, but the thing is deeper down. Do you think I'll survive this?"

The snake just nodded as it made no sense to growl loudly. She still wanted to catch some food. 

With a big smile, Kendra inhaled air and dived into the water. She had an idea. Didn't she use speed before? Can't she use the same skill with swimming as well?

And indeed, she swam much faster and happily arrived in front of the light blue stone of the size not bigger than her hand. In wonder, she poked the stone but nothing happened. 

She tried to pick it up, but it was like it was glued to the stone on the ground. 

The pressure in her lungs seemed to become stronger, but she stubbornly held the stone and pushed with her feet, as she tried to pick it up.

So heavy! How can such a tiny stone be so heavy?

Suddenly it moved and as it moved she pulled out something else.

What ... is.... this?
