'Master your disciple Yu Xue is coming to see you...'
Yu Xue consciousness started drifting in the dark void, she wasn't sad nor angry, her master taught her to not be emotional and she didn't want to disrespect the wish of the one that saved her life. Normally there would be rare moments when some emotions would resurface but not today, not in front of the most fearful moment in one's life, not in front of her death. Gods and men fear death alike but not this Empress.
Yu Xue vision started to black out and her mind started drifting in the nothingness. In moments all that she could see was a dark and void space.
FWOOSH
When Yu Xue thought that finally the pain would subdue and she would find herself in the other realm, a pair of giant eyes opened in front of her. When the eyes opened they created strong winds that could uproot the most tyrannical tree and create the most majestic wave ever seen but those winds didn't touch Yu Xue. The eyes were extremely big, at least twice Yu Xue height. But the most shoking thing wasn't the wind nor the size instead it was the deep blue of the pupils, it was so deep that even a sea deep ten thousands feet would seem bright like the sun in comparison. They were proud and aloof.
'Is this God? '
When she saw the eyes a deep shock went trough her body and only a thought resounded in her mind.
Suddenly the previously black ground started changing colour, first it was dark blue almost black but slowly it became lighter and lighter until it was ice blue. Then something started sprouting slowly from the ground between Yu Xue and the eyes, she was incredulous and couldn't do nothing from her deep shock. The sprouting continued until the form was clear.
It was a bud.
The bud was strange, it was dark blue and its stem was extremely long, it reached in front of her face, the colour was aquamarine.
The bud started opening slowly.
When the bud finished opening what was in front of her shocked eyes was a beautiful flower, the flower had an innumerable number of petals. It was beautiful and complex like a chrysanthemum yet it was also gorgeous and elegant like a water lily. Its colour was dark blue just like the previous bud.
It made one think of the True meaning of ' Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into'
The petals started detaching from the flower, but the mysterious petals didn't fall on the ground instead they flowed toward Yu Xue. The petals moved as if they were dancing on the air currents, slowly and elegantly. When the petals reached Yu Xue they continued moving as if they were going to pass through her body. The petals that touched her body entered it without receiving contrast from her body. Yu Xue suddenly felt a cold sensation spreading from where the petals touched her. But the cold wasn't something harmful or painful instead it gave a healing feeling and a sudden surge of energy.
Yu Xue started feeling dizzy and her vision started drifting away. Suddenly the eyes closed and everything went blank.

SHAAAAA
Yu Xue didn't know how much time passed but when she woke up thunderous sound of water greeted her. Opening her eyes she found herself in the middle of a raging torrent but strangely the water didn't touch her and she herself was moving slowly and kindly in the water currents.
Yu Xue was startled initially but calmed down after some moments and returned to her cold nature.
'For now I will check the current condition of my body then decide what I will do next'
A check of one's body doesn't need any special method nor any strange techniques, instead the requirement was even more prohibitive because one need a perfect knowledge of the human body in every particular from meridian and Ki veins location to bones and muscles composition, only then one could use his soul force to check his body. It's said than when one would reach certain levels of enlightenment he would be able to modify his body freely using only his soul force even in the middle of a battle. Yu Xue although still didn't reach that level but she was competent enough to do some modification in long times.

When Yu Xue sent her soul force to check her body she noticed that her soul now was vastly stronger than before, if before her soul was a mountain torrent then now her soul was the Great Tang river. Not only the dimension of her soul force changed but also the purity of its energy became purer than the winter first snow. The soul force invaded her body faster than Yu Xue imaginations, in an instant she had an image of her body condition.
Deep astonishment filled Yu Xue mind when she examined the image of her body.
Unexpectedly her body became that of an infant!
Immediately Yu Xue forced her mind to calm down by applying the Ice Lotus Law of her Everlasting Ice Palace. Ice lotus Law wasn't a martial technique but instead a Law that the Everlasting Ice Palace disciples and elders used as a base for their techniques. The Law put a precise mental state at its base to help the cultivation of the techniques. The Red Ox Law learned by the Divine Phoenix Hall would make one temperament rash and violent instead the Ice Lotus Law would make one's character cold minded and indifferent. A Law is a part of the heavenly Dao, it's only the surface of the Dao. The Dao is Boundless, no creature would ever dare to dream to master the Dao.
Yu Xue doubted her soul force for a moment but now that she was calm she could make a simple theory that could shake the foundation of life and death.
This isn't her body.
At least this is what it seems. Yu Xue was very confused by what happened. First she died then she opened her eyes again only to find her self in front of a pair of giant eyes, then flower petals invaded her and when she thought that nothing would make her more astonished. She had been reborn, if she wasn't at least confused then that would indeed seem strange.
Moments later the she stopped moving and landed on the shore and a middle-aged woman looked at her from up with a surprised gaze. Some minutes later the woman kneeled toward Yu Xue and picked her with a benevolent smile.
"Little one it seems that the heavens sent you to me"
The woman looked at the little girl and then took the necklace and examined it.
"So your name is Bing Yu Xue, perfect name for someone that came with a cradle made from ice"
(A/N Bing is the family name and mean Ice, Yu is the first name and mean jade and Xue is the second name and mean Snow)
The woman giggled delighted, her laugh made her seem younger by ten years.
"Xue'er my name is Wan Shunu, do you want to come with me?
Shunu asked as if Yu Xue could understand her, but then frowned and thought.
'How could an infant answer me? Did I, Wan Shunu became senile? No indeed, I am still a young fair maiden!'
(A/N Shunu means Fair Maiden)
Shunu line of thought was mostly to convince herself more than anything. Her frown was stopped when suddenly Yu Xue smiled at her. The smile was sweet and extremely innocent, it gave a feeling of warmth and anyone would want to protect this smile with his life. Shunu smiled at her and said.
"You will indeed become a stealer of hearts, maybe even more than me. Xue'er let's go to my brother house"
Wan Shunu kneeled again and put Yu Xue in the cradle again, then stood up and with a wave of her hand blue gas spread toward the cradle. The blue gas flowed around the cradle and lifted it up. Wan Shunu started walking leisurely with her hands behind her head toward a brown stone path that went in the middle of the forest adjacent to the river.
