Chapter 59: Su Yu's Abnormality—That Weight... Future Children Won't Have to Worry About Going Hungry?

Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Su Nian did not hesitate at all.
He decisively used the random red-tier equipment!

[Congratulations, you have obtained: Thorns Boots.]
[Level: LV10.]
[Effect 1: Armor +320.]
[Effect 2: Magic Resistance +350.]
[Effect 3: Mana +1200.]
[Effect 4: Spell Power +150.]
[Skill Effect: When the player takes damage, 20% of the damage amount is reflected back to the attacker, including skills.]

"Whoa... look at this skill effect." Su Nian's eyes widened slightly when he saw the skill of this red-tier equipment.
If he remembered correctly, the Blessing of Destruction only applied to skills that dealt damage.
Equipment skills counted as skills, too.
Good grief, calculated this way...
Sixty percent damage reflection?
Assuming someone dealt one hundred damage to him, he would regenerate it within a second, while the opponent would lose sixty health...
Unless the opponent's damage per second to him exceeded his healing per second—meaning over 250,000 damage—otherwise...
Just use this red-tier equipment.
Once you use it, not a single sound comes out from the enemy!

"Master, how is it? Is this red-tier gear awesome or what?"
Seeing Su Nian's brilliant expression, Zhao Dezhu's curiosity grew even stronger.
The same went for Su Yu and the other two nearby.

"Awesome or not, we'll know once we go outside and test it."
As soon as the words fell, the figures of the five vanished from the dungeon instantly, returning in the blink of an eye to the teleportation array in the main city.
"Come on, Dezhu, hit me."
As he spoke, Su Nian disbanded the party while enabling the guild friendly-fire function.
Players could attack inside the main city, but if the attack was too heavy or intentional murder occurred, a bounty would be placed directly on them.
Once caught, they would face jail time, which meant the risk of an account ban.

"Master, this doesn't feel right..." Zhao Dezhu hesitated upon hearing this.
"I have three types of disciples I refuse to take!"
"First, I don't take disobedient ones."
Zhao Dezhu: "???"

"Master, I'll hit you! I'll hit you, okay?!"
Before Zhao Dezhu's voice had even faded, his greatsword was already swung directly at Su Nian.
[-160.]
[HP +257,661.]
[-96.]

"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
Seeing that he had suddenly lost ninety-six health points, Zhao Dezhu wore a bewildered expression.
"Take a look at this and you'll understand." Su Nian displayed the attribute panel of the Thorns Boots in front of them.
When they saw it, all of their eyes widened.

"Wow, red-tier equipment actually has special skills? This is my first time seeing one!" Yu Yurong's words were filled with envy.
"As expected of red-tier gear, these stat boosts are simply abnormal!" Hou Xiaoyu was equally envious, but more than that, she was shocked.
"So cool!" Although Su Yu didn't quite understand, she followed along with an exclamation.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhu discovered a blind spot.
The stat panel showed the damage reflection effect was twenty percent, but just now when he hit his master, the reflected damage was at least over fifty percent, right?
However, he didn't press for the bottom of it.
This was undoubtedly his master's means.

"By the way, Boss... You said earlier that after the dungeon ends, we'd go unearth those miniature treasure maps. Is it time now?" At this moment, Yu Yurong asked with a curious face.
"We can. But the treasure hunting locations should be different for everyone, so let's split up and act separately. When it's time to gather for the bounty rewards, I'll PM you on friends."
After Su Nian finished speaking, all four nodded in agreement.

Soon, Zhao Dezhu and the other two followed the directional arrows to their respective treasure-hunting locations to find out what was inside.
Just as Su Yu stretched out her slender and beautiful legs, intending to head toward her destination while looking somewhat absent-minded, Su Nian beside her suddenly grasped her small hand and teased, "What? Rare alone time, and you don't want to spend it with your future husband?"
Feeling that burning gaze upon her, Su Yu averted her eyes and said, "Aren't we going to unearth the treasure..."

Seeing Su Yu's uncharacteristic behavior, Su Nian's expression froze slightly. He frowned, stepped closer to Su Yu, brought his face near hers, and whispered softly, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong? Is something uncomfortable? Are you hurting?"
Hearing this, Su Yu shook her head. "No."
"You can't fool me with that look." Su Nian reached out and gently rubbed Su Yu's small face. "Tell me, what is actually wrong?"

Su Yu lowered her small head. "I'm scared..."
Su Nian was startled. "Scared of what?"
Could this girl be frightened by the giant spider in the dungeon just now? That shouldn't be...
"Scared of the surgery."
Su Yu murmured in a low voice.

Hearing this, Su Nian instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
This was not hard to understand; after all, many people would be afraid of a normal surgery, let alone a craniotomy.
Thinking of this, Su Nian gently pulled the lovely girl before him into his arms, comforting her in a soft voice, "Being afraid is normal. Don't worry, I'm here."

Yet at that exact moment, Su Yu's voice suddenly grew choked with sobs: "I... I don't know why, but just now, a sudden, inexplicable panic welled up in my heart... as if I knew what would happen in the future."
"But... I like you, I like you so, so much. I don't want to leave you. What should I do..."
Su Nian's heart skipped a heavy beat!

At that moment, his memory seemed to travel back to his past life, back to that hospital room.
And... he understood the emotion and thoughts in the girl's eyes at that very moment.
Was what she actually wanted to say back then...
Also this sentence?

Su Nian held the girl in his arms tighter, as if doing so would prevent her from ever getting lost again.
"I promise you, we won't be separated!"
"Don't you believe my word?"

Although there were thousands of comforting words he wanted to say, the only thing that finally came out of his mouth was this single promise!
Su Yu lifted her head, looking into the man's exceptionally firm and earnest eyes, and the trace of unease in her heart eased slightly.
Standing on tiptoe, their lips met.

Feeling the intense demand from the person in his arms, Su Nian paused for just a split second before beginning to respond.
I do not know how much time passed...
"Mmph!"
Su Yu's eyes suddenly widened.

She shoved the person in front of her away, protecting her chest with her small hand, her face flushed red as she stammered, "What... what are you touching blindly?!"
Su Nian rubbed his waist and said speechlessly, "Are you sure you weren't the one who started it?"
Well... but to be fair.
Although it was just a tiny touch.
The weight... was truly not bad!
Their future child wouldn't have to worry about going hungry.

"Hmph, I did not!" Su Yu let out a guilty huff, but still stepped forward to link her arm through the man's, a barely perceptible sweet smile curving the corner of her lips as she said, "Anyway, I believe your words. Let's go, let's go dig for treasure!"
Su Nian pinched her small cheek and dotingly said, "Let's go, we'll dig yours first."
Just as he finished speaking, however, something suddenly occurred to him.
"Right..."
