Chapter 74: The Seven-Tailed Fox Demon and the Flower Fairy

An SSS-level hidden quest!

John was surprised—this was the highest-level hidden quest he had encountered, and the dangers that came with it were likely immense.

He looked at the Ice Phoenix, hesitant to accept the quest immediately, and asked, "If I don't complete this quest, will there be any penalties?"

He wasn't fully confident in his ability to succeed, and his primary goal was just to obtain the Pink Peach Blossoms. It didn't seem worth the risk of saving the Flower Fairy if it meant putting his life on the line.

The Ice Phoenix, sensing John's thoughts, sighed reluctantly and said, "I will remove the penalty for failing the quest."

Quest penalties were designed to force adventurers to complete tasks. 

But this particular adventurer seemed immune to such pressure. If John refused to take on the quest, there wasn't much the Ice Phoenix could do about it.
