Almost at the same time as Miyauchi Hikage heard the prompt, he felt an intense wave of heat spread throughout his body.
It was also at this moment that Miyauchi Hikage recalled from the memories of his past life what this Pure-Yang Body was.
"Damn it! As expected, I've run into the most troublesome situation!" Miyauchi Hikage cursed his newly arrived golden finger while hurriedly taking off his clothes.
Although it was only March, Miyauchi Hikage had to strip down to a single thin layer of underwear and then open the room's window to let the cold outside air in before the burning sensation in his body subsided.
The Pure-Yang Body. It sounded like a physique that would only appear in some xianxia novel, and its manifestation in Genshin Impact indeed lived up to the name.
In Genshin Impact, Chongyun, who possessed the Pure-Yang Body, was an exorcist from a family of exorcists. From a young age, he had diligently practiced exorcism arts and martial techniques.
Possessing an immortal physique like the Pure-Yang Body, the vital energy he constantly radiated was the greatest bane of all evil spirits. He could even easily intimidate and repel those demons and ghosts just by sitting quietly for a while in a place where they appeared.
In fact, because of this physique, Chongyun, who had practiced exorcism since childhood and constantly frequented various dangerous places, had never once seen any evil spirit with his own eyes.
From the point of being invulnerable to all evil alone, this immortal Pure-Yang Body was indeed worthy of its name.
But the problem was, this Pure-Yang Body from Genshin Impact had side effects.
Miyauchi Hikage touched his forehead. As expected, it was already starting to burn up. It felt like it was at least 40 degrees Celsius or more, a definite high fever.
But this was just the normal body temperature of the Pure-Yang Body.
When summer came, his body temperature could jump up quite a bit more, the kind that would get you a critical illness notice if you were in a hospital.
And this higher-than-normal body temperature also came with an easily "heated-up" or "hot-blooded" effect. In the game, Chongyun's character description mentioned that after eating just a little bit of spicy food, he would get completely carried away, fully releasing the true nature he had always suppressed.
To suppress this physique, Chongyun had even set various restrictions for himself:
Do not drink hot water, do not eat hot food, do not touch anything spicy, do not wear thick clothes, do not get into arguments, do not get angry, do not go out on a sun-scorched day, and always carry an umbrella when going out...
Recalling this, Miyauchi Hikage couldn't help but grit his teeth and clench his fists, wanting to curse this scam of a diary.
In his past life, he couldn't be happy without spicy food. In this life, after discovering that the varieties of chili peppers in Japan were not very tasty, he had even secretly bypassed the jurisdiction of the Japan Agricultural Cooperatives and gotten some chili seeds from the Sichuan-Chongqing region to be self-sufficient.
Now that he had this Pure-Yang Body, not only could he not eat chili peppers, but he couldn't even have a bite of hot food. And the benefit he got was that he would never have to be afraid of ghosts again.
Although Miyauchi Hikage had never seen a ghost in all the years since he had transmigrated.
"But, while I haven't encountered a ghost before, after getting this diary, that might not be the case anymore..."
Miyauchi Hikage thought, a bit of a headache coming on.
Things like transmigration and rebirth had already happened to him. His view of the world had naturally changed a lot.
Even if one day, in this hodgepodge world, a certain priest from the JoJo side activated Made in Heaven, wanting to bring the entire universe to a new world, and then Chaldea came over to solve this Singularity, Miyauchi Hikage wouldn't find it strange.
Not encountering anything before could only be because Asahigaoka, as the setting of the daily healing anime Non Non Biyori, simply didn't have such unclean things.
According to the general tropes of the web novels he had seen in his past life, when an author gives a certain protagonist a certain cheat, it's generally because it will soon become useful. If he obtained the Pure-Yang Body, but in the end, not a single demon or ghost ever appeared, then the author would probably be mailed razor blades by the readers.
And this was the reason why Miyauchi Hikage had hoped for an ordinary reward in his diary.
If it had given him some literary works from his past life, or skills like cooking or painting, then he wouldn't have to worry too much and could just peacefully write his diary every day, get his cheats, and develop his career.
But now, he also had to be careful of attention from the supernatural side—although he wanted to continue to lay low, write his diary, and get rewards, because of the existence of the Pure-Yang Body, all evil spirits would have to avoid him and flee. Over time, it would inevitably be noticed by someone.
"Giving me this kind of reward, this diary completely wants me to step into the open and attract attention,"
Miyauchi Hikage even thought that, according to the personalities of the male protagonists in those diary-viewing web novels, as long as he mentioned in his diary that he had a passive evil-repelling ability, it would inevitably attract a wave of diary holders who were entangled with evil spirits to approach him actively. Then the protagonist would rely on his own physique to easily solve the heroines' problems, and after some back and forth, they would hook up with each other.
Just thinking about it made Miyauchi Hikage feel a little hot-headed. His resistance to girls had clearly increased a lot in this life, but the Pure-Yang Body, worthy of being a legendary immortal physique, was actually making him feel restless again.
He hurriedly shook his head to calm down. He couldn't get carried away right now.
The Chongyun in the game was a simple-minded young exorcist. After he got carried away, at most he would just say "Today's expenses are on me," and then stick a few talismans on others. He wouldn't do anything bad.
But having lived two lives, Miyauchi Hikage's mind was so complex that even he himself might not be able to see his own true nature. He was really afraid that one day he would get carried away, and when he finally came to his senses, he would find himself surrounded by the plum blossom prints left by young maidens.
Fortunately, when Miyauchi Hikage calmed down and sensed his own body, he found that the Pure-Yang Body he had obtained was not as domineering as Chongyun's in the game.
He didn't know if the version he had obtained was a nerfed one, or if it was because it was a reward from the diary, which also increased his control over this reward physique.
In any case, after messing around for a few hours, when the rooster next door began to crow, he had finally figured out some simple control methods for the Pure-Yang Body.
Although he was still far from being able to completely restrain it, in low-power mode, his body temperature was only one or two degrees higher than a normal person's, so he wouldn't get carried away so easily.
As for its effect on evil spirits, he hadn't encountered any yet, so he naturally couldn't make any judgment.
"Tomorrow, I'll be a little more careful and test my tolerance for warm food, as well as slightly spicy food."
Warm food and chili peppers could still be attempted, but things like hot baths and hot springs were probably out of the question for him for a considerable period of time.
Sensing this, Miyauchi Hikage let out a slight sigh of relief, but also decided that he would have to get a large black umbrella when he went out in the future and walk avoiding the sun.
