Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

Sitting up on the snowy ground, laughs escaped Soohyun's mouth. By now, her clothes and hair was covered in white snow and raising her head to look towards the sky, Soohyun could see the white particles that fell down.

A snow droplet fell on her cheek, and as it softly touched Soohyun's cheek, she extended her hand to touch it. Wiping it off of her cheek, Soohyun stood up, and a wide grin formed on her face.

Running her fingers through her hair, Soohyun brushed off the remnants of the snow from it, and then, she slapped her hand on her garments to remove the snow off of it.

Han Minhyun stood before her, and standing amongst the white snow, she could say that he seemed to be modelling for something. It was difficult for her to take her eyes off of him.

A piece of snow was stuck on his bangs, and stepping closer to him, Soohyun extended her hand towards his forehead. Brushing off the piece of snow from there, she flashed a smile towards him.

"There you go," Soohyun said, "You look perfect at this moment."

That's when, she noticed something, and her eyes widened before voicing out, "My luggage! Where did it go off to?"

"I transported it," Minhyun answered

Lee Soohyun let out a sigh of relief at his words and stated, "You almost gave me an attack back there. Geez! Han Minhyun, you should have informed about it to me before."

Shaking his head, Minhyun vocalised, "Well, if you are done with your silly antics, follow me now. I will be leading you to your room first."

"Silly antics? Wow! Minhyun, I should remind you that even you were a part of this," Soohyun pointed out as she folded her arms across her chest.

"I was forced to," Minhyun corrected.

"Heol! There you go lying again. I don't even need to sense your feelings to say that. If you had let me attack you, things would not have escalated this much. But you had to be a child and play along with me," Soohyun expressed— shaking her head afterwards.

"If you don't silently follow me now, Lee Soohyun, I will be burying you inside this snow," Minhyun threatened as a dark glint appeared in his eyes.

"Aigoo! Since cold temperatures feel comfortable now and snow is soft, I don't mind being buried here if food is included," Soohyun said as a wide grin formed on her face.

"Soohyun, I will seriously be catching you," Minhyun voiced out.

Running across the snow, Soohyun moved forward, and turning back to face Minhyun, she expressed, "Catching me is not easy!"

Finally after walking for a while, they have finally crossed the snowy fields, and before Soohyun lied a bustling city. The city before her resembled the medieval age out of a fantasy movie with advanced technology.

No skyscraper were present around, and highest building present is probably three storey. Beyond those buildings lied a huge castle, where Soohyun presumed for the royalties to reside at.

The streets had kids running over it, and all of them were joyful. Snow fell from the sky, and the kids had fun playing around with the snow.

Soohyun could see people trying to sell food around the street, and there were couple of food she did not recognize as well. They could be the speciality of the Underworld. That made her eager to try them out.

The dressing style of the people reminded her of the medieval age. Nonetheless, finding some differences, Soohyun deemed it to be the culture there.

Intertwining his fingers with hers, Minhyun walked on the street before, and turning her head around, Soohyun could see that people were bowing their heads towards them.

Being aware about Minhyun's position, she could understand why they were doing so. Even though Soohyun was not exactly comfortable with the situation, there was not anything she could do against.

Everyone around her seemed to lead a humble lifestyle, and a kid bumped against her leg as he ran by. Turning her head, she looked towards the boy, and a smile spread over her face. For some unknown reason, she found the entire situation before her refreshing.

"This does not seem that bad," Soohyun vocalised when her eyes noticed some of the women trying to sweep off the snow from their yards.

"You will soon be getting bored of it. There is barely any electricity or network around here," Minhyun pointed out.

His words made Soohyun face him, and she questioned, "Why are things so outdated here?"

Minhyun answered, "There are not much resources present around here, and there is not exactly a necessity for it. Laboratories and other research things are usually handled on the surface."

"Isn't that troublesome? Traveling back to here and there. Wouldn't it be more convenient down here and secure?" Soohyun voiced out.

"Well, it is not exactly more convenient here, and due to the temperature, some of the chemicals can't be brought down here. Plus most of the research materials are obtained from the surface," Minhyun explained.

The two of them stood before the gate of the huge mansion, and Soohyun saw couple of guards before the gate. Spotting Minhyun and her, the guards immediately moved towards the gate and opened the gate for them to enter in.

The guards bowed towards both of them in respect, and maintaining a smiling expression, Soohyun followed after Minhyun while taking in the view of the castle before her. This was the first time she was watching a castle from so close, and it mesmerised her.

The castle before her looked better than the ones she has seen in the movies, and she took in every single details of it. The mansion had guards all around it, and all of them were dressed in armours while being equipped with their opinions.

Raising her head, Soohyun looked towards the top of the castle, and other than the guards, she could not see any other people being out. The entire castle was surrounded by utter silence.
