I think so
The shenguai called her "adorable", so I assume it's some sort of mother/daughter relationship
Or maybe... maybe the Shenguai killed Huazi's parents and was grooming Huazi and planned to possess her, but Huazi somehow escaped, and the Shenguai set up this troupe to find a worthy replacement?
It would help understand her seethe for Kou and his relationship with Chiyou.
You really got me thinking, anon, lol
Whatever it is, I have high hopes, this arc is looking really promising.
