When Chongyun's Pure Yang constitution acts up, the Yang energy surges through his body, causing him to become hot-headed and his personality to change drastically.
However, this drastic change in personality does not mean becoming cruel, heartless, or tyrannical. If it were, Xingqiu, as his good friend, would naturally not make such jokes.
In fact, this drastic change in personality, to put it simply, means that Chongyun transforms from a socially anxious person who dislikes talking to others into a social terrorist.
I remember once, Chongyun's family held a celebratory dinner at Wanmin Restaurant. Although Chongyun deliberately waited for the food to cool down before eating, he never expected that one of the glutinous rice balls at Wanmin Restaurant would contain a jueyun chili!
After one bite, Chongyun himself couldn't remember what happened.
However, the victim at the time, Xiangling, the head chef of Wanmin Restaurant, still remembers many classic scenes. Xiangling herself said that she only regretted that the Kamera from Fontaine had not yet been introduced to Liyue at that time, otherwise, she would have certainly taken a picture of that scene as a souvenir.
Chongyun jumped onto a regular long table and shouted to all the guests, "Tonight, all expenses are on me, Young Master Chongyun! Scream!"
When he chatted with guests at each table, he would put his arm around their shoulders and boast about how amazing his family's exorcism techniques were. Before leaving, he would not forget to take a bite of the dishes on other people's tables.
Besides that, he also, for some unknown reason, kept saying there were evil spirits in Wanmin Restaurant and started charging around the restaurant looking for them. After failing to find any, he eventually slapped a talisman on Xiangling's forehead and chased her around with his sword.
In the end, Chongyun, who hadn't brought any money, to make up for the losses and express his apologies, lived frugally for a month to pay off his debt to Wanmin Restaurant, and even had to give Xiangling a hand-carved evil-warding peach charm as a bonus.
The carefree Xiangling didn't mind Chongyun's offense much. Instead, she felt that Chongyun at that banquet was the Chongyun closest to everyone.
It was precisely because of this drastic contrast that Xingqiu developed a penchant for teasing Chongyun. To see Chongyun's unique side, he constantly tried to make Chongyun's Pure Yang constitution lose control, but he never expected it to happen during his first meeting with his aunt and uncle.
The originally timid Chongyun suddenly rushed in front of Shenhe and Miyashiro, startling both of them. Chongyun immediately fell to his knees with a thud, then burst into tears, continuously apologizing to Shenhe.
He kept saying that it was all because his main family at the time had neglected his aunt's branch family and failed to notice that his aunt's father had his mind corroded by evil spirits, which led to such a great disaster for his aunt's family.
As a family of exorcists who have been in the business of dispelling evil and demons for generations, they couldn't even protect their own branch family relatives, let alone the people of Liyue. This was a great humiliation for Chongyun.
Now that there was an opportunity to make amends, Chongyun naturally appeared extremely excited and sincere. This trip to Inazuma not only brought a large number of gifts from his family but also discussed adding Shenhe and her family's names to the family genealogy, which only members of the main family were eligible to enter.
As for Miyashiro's name, they didn't dare to decide on their own and had to ask him first.
Miyashiro and Shenhe naturally felt Chongyun's sincerity. Shenhe's many years of cultivation had long allowed her to let go of the past, but having one more relative in the world was icing on the cake for her.
So, Shenhe looked at Chongyun with the concern of an elder and said, "I once thought that my connection with my blood relatives was completely severed, and the past I cared about would have no further story. I truly didn't expect to still have family ties in this world. If you have any difficulties in your cultivation in the future, I am willing to help answer them.
However, I now reside in Inazuma, so you will probably need to come in person or send a letter. My reply might not be as timely."
Miyashiro also added, "Shenhe is right. If your family encounters any trouble, you can also tell your uncle. Your uncle will stand up for you. I still have some connections with Ningguang in Liyue and can speak with her."
The overly familiar Chongyun had already started putting his arm around Miyashiro, his uncle. If it weren't for Xingqiu pulling him aside, Chongyun would have even wanted to become sworn brothers with Miyashiro.
Miyashiro and Shenhe both let out a sigh of relief as they watched Xingqiu lead away the overly enthusiastic Chongyun.
However, Miyashiro looked at the Cryo Vision hanging from Chongyun's waist, then at the Cryo Visions of his three daughters-in-law, and couldn't help but wonder if Celestia had made a mistake in distributing Visions.
With Chongyun's enthusiastic and outgoing personality, how could he be given a Cryo Vision? Wouldn't a Pyro Vision be more appropriate?
Well, Celestia always makes mistakes when distributing Visions; he was already used to it.
For example, the steady and reliable Geo element produced the erratic Arataki Itto;
The fair-skinned and beautiful Cryo element produced the dark-skinned Kaeya;
The wealthy and noble Hydro element produced the commoner dancer Nilou;
The vertically challenged Anemo element produced Acting Grand Master Jean, who could look down on all beings;
The enthusiastic Pyro element produced the perpetually glum Diluc;
The compassionate Dendro element produced Alhaitham, who only wanted to slack off;
And the Electro element, typically associated with beautiful older sisters, produced the wolf pups Razor and Razor Pro Max Midnight Purple.
Of course, all of this was just teasing, and no one really knew the specific criteria Celestia used for distributing Visions. However, one thing was certain: he had a great fondness for those who possessed Cryo Visions.
Due to Chongyun's overly enthusiastic display and generous monetary gift, Miyashiro's hospitality naturally went up a notch. Not only did he prepare Dragon Meat, a great tonic, for them, but he also fulfilled Xiangling's wish to make fried dragon cutlets.
Even in the evening, Miyashiro brought Chongyun and Xingqiu along to take a bath at the Yu Onsen, which was exclusively for Shogunate higher-ups.
It must be said that soaking in hot springs, where one can be frank and discuss matters in complete relaxation, is indeed very suitable for strengthening relationships. It also debunked the rumor that Xingqiu was a girl disguised as a boy, which greatly disappointed Miyashiro.
Moreover, the Yu Onsen in the Yu Onsen Magistrate's Office had many precious minerals and plants collected from various countries, which had therapeutic effects and were indeed very suitable for relieving fatigue.
However, such an activity also completely disrupted Chongyun's Pure Yang constitution. By the time Chongyun fully regained consciousness, it was three days later. Chongyun was like someone who had blacked out from drinking and had no memory of those three days.
It was only with the help of his good friend Xingqiu's recounting that he gradually recalled his 'great deeds,' which made Chongyun feel an urge to drop dead on the spot. This... this was too socially embarrassing!
In the following days, Chongyun avoided Miyashiro and Shenhe like a mouse avoids a cat, which made Miyashiro and Shenhe wonder, how did the once talkative young man suddenly become so quiet?
Miyashiro even suspected, did he suffer a blow in that aspect during the last hot spring bath?
