Chapter 117 Is it true or false?

Narita Ujinaga was still processing Kaihime's words even after returning to the inner chambers. If Kaihime were to become a Yellow Realm expert, what should he do? Should he break away from the Hojo clan and establish his own independent power?

Kaihime had already gone to distribute gifts to her two younger sisters, leaving Narita Uchinaga alone in deep thought. Recently, the situation in Japan has been turbulent, and Narita is caught in the middle, facing a dilemma.

Meanwhile, Kaihime's two younger sisters, Makihime and Atsuhime, were overjoyed. Instead of bringing them the most popular Japanese Matsue cloth in Fusang, Kaihime brought them "showy but impractical" silk, face powder, dried fruit, candied fruit, and other such items.

"Sister, why didn't so many Japanese soldiers return home? Did they really abandon their homeland...? Did they go to Taiwan? Or... have they already died in battle?"

"Sister, is Hirasato Oji really an idiot? All those rumors about Lord Toyotomi are nonsense. How could an idiot become a cultivator? But... sister, are you really a cultivator?"

“Sister, we don’t want this silk. I know… many of us died in the Rakshasa Kingdom, and you must have suffered a lot too. This is all your property; it shouldn’t be divided among us sisters…”

Kaihime's tears finally fell. Her younger sister, who had once been so young, had grown up and was now thinking back on whether she had been selfish to ask her two younger sisters to cover her journey to Edo to join the Omikami army.

She hadn't written home for a year, only returning to visit relatives after she had reached the threshold of Huangjing. A year ago, the aged Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw her, and the greedy look in his eyes terrified her, making her determined to seek an opportunity in Daxia.

Now, Kaihime is no longer the Kaihime of the past, but her younger sister is still the same two pure-hearted girls. How could Kaihime not be moved to tears?

As night fell, Narita Ujinaga, still at a loss, called Kai aside for dinner, intending to ask Kai-hime in detail about her experiences over the past year.

Narita Ujichō's first words were: "Kai, there are rumors... that you have an affair with Prince Heng of Daxia, is this true or false?"
