Chapter 89: Soaring in the Maple Tree

"Hey, idiot, why is there a dead body here?"

Gion stared blankly at a corpse in the corner of the Yonggu space. It was the corpse of a man wearing CP0's exclusive white clothes and a pure white mask on his face.

Lex explained casually.

"That guy was the former supreme commander of the CP. I promised him that I would bury him in Fenghuai Qianli after his death, so I just left him in the Yonggu space and buried him this time."

Because there is no concept of time flow rate in the permanent space. In other words, time passes, but nothing in the permanent space will change.

If you put a cup of hot tea in there and take it out a month later, the temperature won't change at all.

If you put a corpse in there and take it out after a month, it won't rot.

So Zero's body hasn't changed much until now, and even still has a hint of warmth.

As someone who doesn't care about details, Lex naturally wouldn't care about having an extra corpse in his permanent space.

But Gion didn't think so. She just puffed her lips and muttered unhappily:

"How dare you put something like this in my personal refrigerator? It's unforgivable!!"

Lex: “….”

When did my permanent space become your personal refrigerator...

But Lex naturally did not dare to complain. He just continued to silently control the alien space to move towards the West Sea. He was about to cross the calm belt and reach Fenghuai Qianli.

Gion was floating around in the different space boredly, and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

At the same time, his mouth was not idle, constantly eating various desserts and snacks.

Time passes quietly in the world of two people alone...

moment.

"Dear Ms. Gion, this Space Special Train Line 1 has arrived at its final stop - Fenghuai Qianli. Please take your belongings with you and get off the train. I wish you a pleasant journey again. Thank you for your cooperation."

“Ding-dong~ding-dong~”

Lex was in a playful mood and imitated the sound of a train arriving at the station, but Gion had already taken a long step towards the azure blue door that was opened specially for Gion.

Lex didn't care when he saw Gion ignoring him. He just got used to it.

He followed the back of Gion who was walking in front of him, and only heard Gion's words.

"You're so old, but you're still like an idiot~"

However, at the moment when she was about to step out of the azure gate, a satisfied and happy smile inadvertently appeared on Gion's face, and her smile was very sweet.

Yes, I am so old now, but no matter how time goes by, the man behind me will always take the trouble to make me happy.

-

So, when Gion stepped out of the space portal and set foot on the maple and locust trees that she had been away from for a long time, she raised her beautiful red eyes and looked around the scenery on the island. She took a deep breath and turned into a ball of water vapor and dissipated.

It is now February. Fenghuai Qianli has spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is not an island with a single climate.

Gion stood on a hillside near the east side.

February is the end of winter, and the cold has been dissipating with the atmospheric circulation. Looking across the thousands of miles of maple and locust trees, the maple forest on East Island is still desolate, but if you look closely you can find that there are already tender green branches dotted on the maple trees.

Gion's eyes were bright, just as clear and transparent as the water in the lake in the heart of Fenghuai Senri Island. She spread her legs and first walked on the hillside under her feet, then ran away at an increasingly faster speed.

She opened her arms, like a little girl who had discovered a fun place, and ran from the hillside to the ridge, and then along the ridge to the peak.

"Hey!! ——Stupid Lex, take me flying~——!"

Suddenly, Gion stopped. She was standing on the highest mountain on the island. She could see any landscape of maple and locust trees for thousands of miles. The lake in the center of the island was clear and transparent.

The maple and locust tree forests evenly distributed on the east and west sides stretch endlessly. Although it is the end of winter when the frost kills all the grass, they are like soldiers guarding both sides of the island.

Gion called out again, she seemed to think that Lex was walking too slowly and had not yet reached the top of the mountain.

"Hey~! Idiot, take me flying quickly~!"

She was a little impatient. What was she looking forward to?

In anticipation of a 'tradition' between her and him.

Whenever Gion was happy, she would let Lex hold her and fly around the entire island of Maple Thousand Miles, soaring over the sky above Maple Thousand Miles.

So, the next moment, Lex, who was still walking leisurely on the hillside, laughed softly, and then his whole body suddenly emitted a deep blue light.

He appeared beside Gion, stretched out his right arm and wrapped it around Gion's waist.

Gion has a very thin waist. Although she loves sweets, she just can't gain weight. Even when she reached middle age in the original plot, she still maintained a slender figure.

Today, Gion's beauty is at its peak. Even without a trace of makeup on her face, she is still stunningly beautiful.

Lex's Space Fruit is activated, and his ability to stay in the air and change positions has been mastered to perfection.

Speaking of which, the use of the Space Fruit to achieve flight seemed to have initially been intended to satisfy Gion's desire to "overlook the maple and locust trees for thousands of miles from the sky."

Then, Lex spoke into Gion's ear.

"Hold on, honey, take off!"

Suddenly, the two of them floated into the air and leaped above the sky, but not too high, probably only slightly higher than the tallest locust tree on the maple and locust forest.

But the joy of flying is easy to satisfy.

"Speed ​​up! You're flying so slowly, you idiot!"

Gion pressed his body tightly against Lex, while leaning on Lex's right arm with a slight sense of enjoyment, his whole body slightly tilted.

Rex's speed was not actually slow, he was just afraid that if he flew too fast, Gion would not be able to see the scenery below clearly.

Because she has been away for a year, Gion naturally wants to see every change on the island as soon as possible. After all, she has lived here since she was 14 years old.

"Over there! Why are the locust trees here becoming sparse?"

As they flew over Nishijima, Gion looked at the locust tree forest below and asked Lex.

"Because it's winter, it will definitely look sparse. If it were midsummer, it would be lush and green."

While controlling the speed of flight, Lex patiently explained to Gion in his embrace.

It is not an easy task to use space fruit to achieve levitation and flight.

Every profession has its specialties. The Space Fruit is not the Floating Fruit. If you want to fly freely, you actually lock one side of the space and do unlimited "instant teleportation" to achieve the effect of normal flight.

Lex would only do this kind of thankless behavior when he wanted to make Gion happy.

"Then I'll stay until summer!"

Gion said with infinite expectations.

"Of course, you can stay as long as you want."

"Ok!"

Gion rarely refuted Lex, but opened his arms and breathed freely the air that belonged to this "Thousand Miles of Maple and Locust Trees".

In order to make Gion feel more comfortable, Lex simply put his arms around Gion's waist from behind and leaned back slightly.

In this way, the two of them seemed to be dancing a duet ballet, soaring in the sky above Fenghuai Qianli. Occasionally, Lex kissed Gion from the side, and Gion's face turned slightly red before returning to normal.

Even old couples would feel embarrassed.

It is located in a villa on the lake in the center of the island.

A middle-aged man in a plum-red cloak is carefully preparing a feast. If you look carefully at his expression from the side.

You can see that on his cold and evil face, there is actually a gentle and slightly expectant smile.

This person is none other than the Red Earl.
