When Miyashiro, having been cared for and rested until he was full of energy, appeared before everyone with a shy-looking Chiyo, the first reaction of the beauties was surprise that Chiyo's body had become so radiant.
After all, everyone had known Chiyo for so many years and was aware of her situation; this change was simply too obvious, and at the same time, they realized that their husband seemed to possess a divine skill capable of resurrecting the dead.
Although the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique was extremely powerful, in addition to having strict conditions for the caster, there were also conditions for the deceased being resurrected.
The first, just like with Edo Tensei, was that the soul must still reside in the mortal realm and not have crossed that line; the second was that they must possess their own physical body.
The second point was manageable, as an Edo Tensei body could be used as a substitute, but the first point could not be guaranteed.
Upon hearing this, Ayaka's eyes lit up. She impatiently returned to her room, took out the hair of her parents that she had treasured, and asked Miyashiro if he could resurrect them.
Regarding his beloved wife's request, Miyashiro had no choice but to try. Unfortunately, after some attempts, he failed to summon the souls of Ayaka's parents, which indicated that their souls had already crossed that line and moved on to the afterlife.
Despite her dim expression at this result, Ayaka was still happy that her parents were able to let go of their obsessions and move on to the afterlife.
Her parents had worked themselves into illness just to ensure the revival of the Kamisato Clan. Even when suffering from serious illness, they were still concerned about the future of the Kamisato Clan, fearing that the young Kamisato siblings would not be able to support the clan.
And now, with the support of her husband and the leadership of her brother, the Kamisato Clan had become the second-largest great clan in Inazuma, right after the Uchiha Clan. She had also married into the Uchiha Clan and borne two daughters for Miyashiro. Seeing this, the spirits of Ayaka's parents would surely feel comforted.
Thinking this way, they truly had no more obsessions and no reason to continue lingering in the mortal realm. After hearing Miyashiro's explanation, Ayaka did not feel as distressed.
Once this matter was settled, the beauties realized that they had gained another sister. However, compared to resurrection, the minor matter of Miyashiro taking in Chiyo was not worth mentioning. After so many years, they had become accustomed to their man's ways and had extremely low standards regarding this point.
Besides, even Shenhe, the Matriarch, did not mind, so what qualifications did they, who were willing to be concubines, have to object? If it hadn't been for Shenhe's nod in the beginning, they wouldn't have been able to enter the gates of the Uchiha Clan. Therefore, as long as Miyashiro provided enough affection, they were happy to see it happen, and regarding this point, Miyashiro had indeed delivered.
Moreover, Chiyo was not an outsider. Compared to having another sister they knew well, it was better than having some seductive creature appear from who knows where.
Therefore, Chiyo integrated into the Uchiha Clan very quickly. She remained inseparable from Ei, and even if Miyashiro chose the tablet of Chiyo or Ei, the two of them would pull each other along to serve him together, which made Miyashiro bubble with joy.
Unfortunately, such days did not last long. One day, when Yelan was giving a routine report to Miyashiro, she came to his side with a secretive smile and said, "My Lord Clan Head, the spies in Liyue have sent back an interesting piece of news. It is said that Ningguang, the Tianquan Star and head of the Liyue Qixing, has not appeared in public for more than half a year. Do you know the inside story about this?"
Yelan stared intently at Miyashiro's eyes, trying to detect some clues from his gaze.
Miyashiro smiled and said, "Ningguang? Isn't she your close friend? You should know the most about this kind of thing."
Yelan sighed and said, "Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that. It's all your fault. Ever since I married you, my situation has become extremely awkward."
As Ningguang's former special intelligence officer, the reason Yelan had chosen to go to Inazuma as a deputy envoy was, firstly, on Ningguang's orders, to try to arrange for Ganyu to become Miyashiro's woman, in order to maintain the relationship between Liyue and Inazuma.
The second reason was that the then-Tianshu, Uncle Tian, was nearly retired, but the successor he had cultivated had unexpectedly become a spy for Snezhnaya, leaving them unable to find a suitable candidate for the time being.
Therefore, Ningguang wanted Yelan to take the position of Tianshu. Unfortunately, although the position of special intelligence officer sounded prestigious, it was not an official position within the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Yelan's existence was very mysterious. Even Ningguang could not let Yelan, who had no seniority, directly skip levels to become one of the Qixing.
Thus, to silence their mouths, she sent Yelan to serve as a deputy diplomatic envoy to accumulate seniority so that she could take over for Uncle Tian.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Not only did Ganyu fall, but Yelan herself also became deeply involved. Just like that, Ningguang not only lost Ganyu, a Qixing secretary, but even the future Tianshu and her own close friend had been taken in. Because of this, Ningguang even specifically wrote a letter to Miyashiro to express her dissatisfaction.
However, the tone of that letter was not strong, which made Miyashiro feel a bit strange. Generally speaking, Yelan, as Ningguang's special intelligence officer, must have possessed many important secrets of Ningguang and even Liyue. Now that she had chosen to marry into the Inazuma Regent's family, to put it bluntly, Yelan's actions were tantamount to treason against Liyue.
But out of respect for Yelan, Miyashiro had never taken the initiative to ask Yelan about secrets concerning Ningguang and Liyue.
In fact, when Miyashiro first took Yelan into his harem, he had worried that she had decided to risk her body in order to investigate some of his secrets. It wasn't until Yelan gave birth to his daughter that this worry vanished into thin air.
Regardless of anything else, if such a great beauty as Yelan had paid the price of her pure body and giving birth to a daughter for him just to find out some secrets from his mouth, Miyashiro felt it was worth it.
What kind of secret could be worth an older sister with such temperament and flavor as Yelan, plus a little daughter? Miyashiro felt that the more the better.
It was precisely because of this that Miyashiro, upholding the style of utilizing everyone's talents, trusted Yelan completely and let her fully utilize her advantages as a spymaster, establishing her own secret intelligence department within Inazuma and even across all of Teyvat, used to collect all kinds of intelligence.
Just like the news about Ningguang this time, it was actually a normal thing for the spies to notice the clues. After all, as the Tianquan Star and head of the Liyue Qixing, Ningguang not appearing in public for a long time was a very strange thing, and even the people of Liyue were curious about it.
If it weren't for the fact that Ningguang's residence was the Jade Chamber, which hung high above Liyue Harbor and was not a place those reporters could set foot in, the gossiping tabloid reporters would definitely be blocking Ningguang's front door.
After hearing this, Miyashiro's first reaction was surprise, but immediately after, Miyashiro subconsciously fiddled with his fingers, as if calculating something. Subsequently, an expression that was a mix of embarrassment and a hint of secret joy appeared on his face.
