The Only Player in ‘Child of Stardust’
Chapter 134 - 105: Life Has Dreams, Each Brilliant in Its Own Way

As soon as the plane landed, investigators from the Xinyue Control Bureau secretly boarded the aircraft to clean up the cargo hold.

To avoid causing panic, the bureau did not prevent passengers from disembarking normally. Only the owner of the suitcase was detained to await further investigation.

As for the identity and origin of the cursed Spiritual Body, Zhou Yuan could care less since the mission was completed. He left it for the Control Bureau to handle.

Upon exiting the station, Zhou Yuan immediately saw Chen Guangxi, who was easily noticeable due to her height towering above the crowd. Today, she sported a half-tied wolf tail hairstyle, making her even more eye-catching.

"How come you can encounter abnormal events just by taking a flight?" Chen Guangxi was also exasperated. She couldn’t help but think Zhou Yuan had a constitution that attracted trouble.

"I don’t know." Zhou Yuan shrugged helplessly. "It ruined the ceremony of my first flight."

"What’s so ceremonial about taking a flight? It’s similar to taking a bus or the subway. Did you feel ceremonial the first time you rode a bus or the subway?" Chen Guangxi didn’t understand.

"You’re one to talk. You can fly. When I was a kid, my dream was to soar into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun..."

Zhou Yuan paused, suddenly thinking of something, and squeezed out a fawning smile at Chen Guangxi. "Guangxi, can you take me for a couple of laps in the sky?"

"No, get lost." Chen Guangxi rolled her eyes.

Think you can ride me? Keep dreaming!

"Come on, I’ll pay you."

"Not even for money. It’s a matter of principle."

A proud dragon would never allow herself to be ridden.

Like Xinhu, Xinyue was also a top-tier city in East Continent, an international metropolis.

Since July began, weather patterns around the world have been acting strangely, and Xinyue was no exception. Contrary to the extremely humid and hot weather of previous years, Xinyue’s daily temperature had stayed around ten degrees since the end of last month. The cold winds made down jackets sell out quickly.

The unusual climate worldwide caused "Spiritual Energy Revival" to become a hot topic on the internet for a while.

Thanks to practicing martial arts, Zhou Yuan now had strong energy and felt like a furnace, so even in short sleeves, he didn’t feel very cold.

The two chatted idly as they walked out of the airport, only to be confronted by a large group of people, all exuding a menacing Evil Qi and hostile expressions.

"It’s him!"

The leader, comparing the photo on his phone, pointed at Zhou Yuan with gritted teeth. "This kid is the newly appointed Saint Heir of the Holy Crow Church!"

Swoosh!

Someone in the crowd immediately cast a shielding spell, deploying an invisible barrier that made passersby instinctively avoid the area and ignore whatever was happening.

[The local gang wasn’t friendly. Most of these people were heads of supernatural organizations in Xinyue, none of whom were good people. Maybe you should call your fellow church members to find out what’s going on if you can still contact them.]

Zhou Yuan quickly hid behind Chen Guangxi. "Who are you people?"

"We are the Holy Crow Church’s creditors!"

"Huh?" Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded.

"Three hundred million, two hundred fifty-six thousand, nine hundred eighty-one point six yuan!"

The man’s face was grim. "Today, you must pay this money back to the last cent, or you’re not leaving!"

Zhou Yuan was stunned. Three hundred million? What on earth had the local Holy Crow Church members been doing?

"Wait, there must be some misunderstanding."

Zhou Yuan hurriedly took out a statement from his backpack, shouting loudly, "Actually, I’ve already resigned from the Holy Crow Church. I’m a free agent now!

Here’s the statement from the Holy Crow Church. Look, it’s even stamped. Let me read it to you."

He cleared his throat and read loudly, "Statement: Everyone’s life is a dream of their own. Effective immediately, Zhou Yuan formally retires from the Holy Crow Church and no longer serves as the Saint Heir.

As a veteran who accompanied the church for many years, Zhou Yuan’s companionship contributed to the church’s growth and progress, earning many honors for both the church and himself through his hard work. We extend our sincere gratitude to him.

There’s a time to meet and a time to part. Whenever and wherever, we will fully support Zhou Yuan’s future decisions and wish him success in achieving his ideal life!"

"???"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Who ever heard of a church Saint Heir resigning?!

The leader shook his head. "Don’t listen to his nonsense. A Saint Heir either dies in service or never leaves. He’s just trying to shirk his responsibility!

Everyone, let’s tie him up and make the Holy Crow Church pay for his release!"

"Wait."

At the word "kidnap," Zhou Yuan immediately straightened up, emerging from behind Chen Guangxi. He pulled out his Control Bureau investigator ID and smirked. "I’m an official employee of the Control Bureau. Do you dare bind me? This is a blatant challenge to the Federal law!"

"Bind him!"

Someone shouted, and the entire mob surged forward angrily.

"Damn." Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded. How deep was the hatred between these people and the local Holy Crow Church members that even bringing up the Control Bureau was useless?

"Ahem."

Chen Guangxi cleared her throat. The dragon’s might spread, instantly suppressing the crowd. Her brilliant golden eyes scanned coldly. "Do you think you can ignore my presence?"

"Aurelia, are you looking to get involved?" someone in the crowd spat viciously, a female extraordinary person with a terrifying burn scar disfiguring half of her face.

In modern medicine, healing skin injuries wasn’t difficult; grafting a piece of artificial skin would suffice. As an extraordinary person, she could have used many supernatural means to heal, but she chose to keep the look.
