I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

"Hey~!"

Suddenly, a clear and loud phoenix cry sounded, resounding through heaven and earth.

The phoenix spread its huge wings that covered the sky, like a gorgeous rainbow across the sky, and its feathers sparkled with colorful light, dazzling the eyes.

The phoenix opened its sharp beak, and flames spewed out of its mouth, like a surging torrent, sweeping towards the monster.

The monster let out a deafening roar and waved its strong and powerful arms, trying to resist the Phoenix's extremely hot flames.

呵~~

The phoenix hovered in the air, moving lightly and swiftly, easily avoiding the monster's attacks.

Then the phoenix flapped its broad wings, instantly creating a gust of wind that made the monster stagger and lose its balance.

The monster was furious, roaring in anger, its eyes flashing a strange green light, and then it pounced on the Phoenix with the force of thunder.

The phoenix reacted extremely quickly, dodging the monster's attack easily by moving to the side.

The monster did not give up and continued to pounce on the phoenix. However, this time the phoenix dodged sideways and pecked at the monster's eyes with its sharp beak.

"Ouch!"

After suffering severe damage, the monster roared in pain, and disgusting green blood flowed from its eyes and splattered on the ground.

The Phoenix took the opportunity to attack, spewing flames from its mouth, enveloping the monster.

The monster struggled desperately in the flames, with crackling sounds coming from its body and bursts of miserable howls.

The phoenix circled in the air, its eyes sharp as a torch, constantly searching for the monster's weakness. It keenly observed that a wound on the monster was healing, but the speed was much slower than before.

At this moment, Qin Nuan finished absorbing the power in the Phoenix Stone, and her body emanated a dazzling light.

The next second, she brandished the Phoenix Sword condensed from the Phoenix Stone in her hand and joined the battle without hesitation.

The Phoenix Sword flashed with the phantom of a phoenix and exuded a fiery breath. Qin Nuan waved the Phoenix Sword like a dancing phoenix and slashed at the monster.

The monster felt threatened, roared, and tried to use its sturdy arms to block Qin Nuan's attack. However, the Phoenix Sword collided with the monster's arms, making a crisp sound.

The Phoenix Sword cut a deep wound on the monster's arm, and green blood gushed out.

“Hoho~~~”

The monster roared angrily, its eyes flashing green light, and pounced towards Qin Nuan.

Qin Nuan dodged the monster's attack flexibly, swinging the Phoenix Sword in her hand and slashing at the monster. Scars appeared on the monster's body, and green blood splashed everywhere.

The phoenix circled in the air, spewing flames from its mouth, enveloping the monster.

The monster struggled in the flames, howling in pain. Qin Nuan took the opportunity to attack, wielding the Phoenix Sword and slashing at the monster.

The monster gradually lost its strength under the attacks of Fenghuang and Qin Nuan. Its body became weaker and weaker, and finally fell to the ground, letting out its last roar.

Qin Nuan walked to the monster vigilantly and stabbed the monster's heart with the Phoenix Sword.

Only when the monster completely stopped moving and green blood flowed all over the ground did Qin Nuan breathe a sigh of relief and put away the Phoenix Sword.

She turned to look at Phoenix, her eyes filled with gratitude.

The phoenix flew to Qin Nuan and rubbed her hand with its head. A clear voice rang in her mind, "Sister"

Qin Nuan hummed softly, stroked the Phoenix's feathers with a smile, feeling deeply moved.

The battle was finally over. Not only did she defeat the monster, but she also obtained the Phoenix inheritance and the Phoenix Sword.

Qin Nuan decided that in this life, no matter how many difficulties the road ahead might encounter, she would protect this land.

Be a true guardian!

After making sure there were no monsters, Qin Nuan curled her lips slightly and led Phoenix towards the route given by the system...

System, combine all the task rewards I have completed recently and I will collect the rewards.

[Okay, host. Rewards are being collected. Please wait...]

ten minutes later.

[Rewards have been collected. Host, would you like to receive them? ]

"Collect"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first stage of the mission. Reward: 10 million merit points, 10 drops of Zufeng blood, physical strength +10, speed +, agility +]

Ga?

Gone?

【Gone】

After confirming that it was gone, Qin Nuan didn't say anything, but she always felt like she had missed something.

After thinking about it, I realized I still couldn't remember, so I shook my head and continued walking...

The system, seeing that Qin Nuan didn't ask any more questions, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he quickly cut off the connection with Qin Nuan and punched the person in front of him...

Grandma is a jerk!

"You even dare to embezzle my host's reward. Don't you want to work in the Space-Time Administration anymore?" The system growled with gritted teeth, its voice full of anger and dissatisfaction.

If it hadn't been careful, it wouldn't have known it had been tricked, and moreover, it had been fooled by a small task officer.

"I finally caught you this time. Hurry up and spit out all the rewards you swallowed." The system widened its eyes and glared at the task officer.

Its tone became even harsher, as if it wanted to eat the other party alive.

However, the mission officer seemed a little flustered.

He quickly waved his hands and explained: "That's not the case. It's really not the case. I just wanted to confirm it."

But the system didn't listen to his explanation at all, and interrupted him directly: "No! It's three times! Just because you suddenly took the reward, my host almost died. Damn it! My host is gone, do you think you can still exist?! Stupid thing..."

At this time, Qin Nuan didn't know that Tongzi, who was so well-behaved and sensible in front of her, actually had such a violent side.

If she knew, she would definitely think that her son fought back because he was bullied badly.

After all, the system has always appeared in front of her as a gentle and considerate person, taking great care of her.

However, even if Qin Nuan knew, she would still applaud. After all, who let that greedy guy steal so many of her rewards? If she didn't beat him, who else could she beat?

Seeing that the system refused to give up, the mission officer knew that there was no way to resolve the situation today, so he changed his previous panic and sneered instead.

"Humph, you are just a small system, and you dare to attack me. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the higher-ups?"

Upon hearing this, the system became furious.

"Don't use your power to pressure me! If you don't hand over the reward today, don't even think about leaving here!"

After saying that, the system raised its fist again, ready to strike.

Upon seeing this, the mission officer's face turned extremely ugly, but he still pretended to be calm and spoke.

"You... don't mess around! I have a backer..."

However, before he could finish his words, the system's fist had already fallen.
