Watching the Silvery colored text in front of my eyes I wonder why this message didn’t appear before I was in this predicament. Quickly dismissing the window it disappears in front of me giving place to discomfort, I lift my eyes hoping my exchange with the status was quick enough that the girls didn't notice anything.

“What are you mumbling to yourself, pervert!?”

With a sour face, I try to ignore the women surrounding me while I pray for a miracle, but not seeing any changes in my body nor my QI, I quickly think of a solution.

“Look,” I say while pointing towards somewhere in the distance. “It’s Mt. Tai!”

Waiting for the surprised reactions and turning of heads I back away slowly, but the head-turning never happens as the young girls look at me with even deeper frowns as if looking at an idiot.

“Haaaa? You think of us as countryside girls? You’re courting death!”

“You really have no shame! Despicable, he’s a pervert and a misogynist!”

“Lets end this, come now and accept your fate!”

Turning around not waiting to be beaten up by the angry ladies I ran for the densest part of the forest while using the most of my Qi hoping to reach it, but as I ran I could clearly hear them getting closer to me by the second.

Feeling the soft grime beneath my feet, the air splitting my hair apart and the small beads of sweat concentrating on my forehead and back, I focus on using my Qi to the utmost, realizing I am almost in the forest my escape route is quickly closed by a sudden earth spike and without it stabs me in my shoulder.

Due to the impact, I am unable to move as I am pierced through and through. An agonized scream leaves my lips when my brain finally catches up to the actual stab. I see blood pour towards the floor in big amounts forming a puddle of fresh blood.

‘W-what-what is t-this pain, it hurts like hell!'

Never having experienced any pain like this, I behave like a little girl. Almost every xianxia protagonist seems made out of stone, In contrast, I seem made out of tofu.

Tears stream down my eyes as they approach me from behind, but the pain is all I can focus on as I instinctively try to back out of the earthen spike. Greeting my teeth in anguish while I slowly back away I hear a voice in close to my left ear.

“Disgraceful to the last moment Li Xiao Nu.” And after saying this I feel my body grow cold, abnormally cold. Looking down at myself I realize I am being encased in a thick layer of ice, losing my mobility I stand in place like a sitting duck.

My touch with reality weavers and I try to come to accept my fate. Even if my death took place a couple of hours after my arrival, I am still happy to have gotten a second chance.

‘Cold, so cold...’

Regret, for thinking of this world as easy and forgiving, for my childish personality that led me to this moment and most of all, I regret not being able to ever see my daughter again.

Thinking of my daughter the last flash of defiance appears in my eyes.

“I-I am...sorry.”

Then I see everything turn dark, a lonesome feeling wells inside of me as I understand this time rebirth isn't an option.
