The Phantom Butterfly of the Republic of China

While taking off his coat, Jin Ling said to Xia Muminnan, "Guess who I saw at the headquarters today. You'll never guess." Xia Muminnan was very curious when he heard this, so he put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "If you mentioned her, then it must be someone I can't imagine?" Jin Ling looked at Xia Muminnan with amusement and said, "That's right, it was Xia Mu Huizi. I heard from Fujiwara Kumaji that this person is your sister." Xia Muminnan frowned when he heard this.

Jin Ling looked at Xia Muminnan's expression and said, "What's wrong with this person?" Xia Muminnan said seriously, "Do you know why the eldest lady holds the power in the Xia Mu family?" Jin Ling shook his head. He was not Japanese, so how could he understand. Xia Muminnan said seriously, "That's because the eldest lady has three outstanding children and has the final say in the Xia Mu family." Jin Ling was very puzzled after hearing this and said, "Are these people very powerful?" If that was the case, Jin Ling felt that he had to be more careful.

Xia Muminnan nodded and shook his head and said, "No, it's these three people who are not worthy of being human. They are very black-hearted. The hierarchy in the Xia Mu family is very strict. No one has ever been an independent creature. In their eyes, these people are just their slaves and playthings and they can play with them at will." Jin Ling was a person of the new era and didn't quite understand. Xia Muminnan looked at Jin Ling in amazement and continued, "Not only that, their methods are beyond your imagination. There is nothing they can't do, and their methods are extremely cruel. No one in the Xia Mu family would want to challenge them." Jin Ling felt a chill in his heart after listening.

Jin Ling took a deep breath and said, "Then why do you think Xia Mu came to China?" Xia Mu Minnan pondered for a moment and said, "The first reason is that my mother passed away, and she has no bargaining chips to control me to work hard for them, so she needs someone to supervise me. The second reason may be that she offended someone more powerful in Japan, and Xia Mu's family had no way to help deal with it, so they sent her to China to seek refuge." Jin Ling was very curious when he heard this.

Jin Ling couldn't figure out something so he said directly: "Why does the Xia Mu family want someone to supervise you? And why do I feel that the Xia Mu family seems to be very afraid of you? What did you do?" Speaking of this, Xia Muminnan said embarrassedly: "You also know that I was a doctor of biology in my previous life. I still have talent in this area. It's just a few major experiments that caused the Xia Mu family to lose a large sum of money. In addition, because of my outstanding talent, it was known by those who were interested. Now there is no chance for the Xia Mu family to get rid of me. The Xia Mu family knew that I didn't like the Xia Mu family since I was a child, so they found a way to lock up my aunt and prevent me from finding her. In this way, you can only serve them all your life." Jin Ling didn't expect that Xia Muminnan really didn't give him any way out.

After listening, Jin Ling said, "Then what are you going to do now? After all, they don't have any reason to ask you." Xia Muminnan thought for a while and said, "For now I can only pretend that I don't know about it. They are now testing whether I know what happened in Xia Mu's family. If I don't know, it's better. If they know that I already know about it, then no matter how capable I am, I will be assassinated by their ninja." This was also the first time that Jin Ling heard new words.

"Ninja, what is this?" Jin Ling looked at Xia Muminnan in confusion. Xia Muminnan said heavily: "Just like the ancient emperor's death warriors, a group of elusive people. No one knows their true identities. They can be anyone around you, but they usually wear black and know ninjutsu." Very good, this is another new word. Jin Ling looked at Xia Muminnan in confusion and asked Xia Muminnan to explain.

Xia Muminnan was also speechless and said, "No, don't your big families know about these things?" Jin Ling shook his head to indicate what it was. Xia Muminnan saw Jin Ling's performance and knew that Jin Ling really knew nothing and said, "A group of people with special abilities. Of course, they are different from the abilities we have, just like Chinese martial arts. Their ninjutsu is an ability that focuses on hiding oneself, a bit like the invisibility ability. But compared to them, it is still much weaker. Their presence can be sensed through airflow." After listening to the introduction, Jin Ling said, "How do you know so much? Could it be that one of Mrs. Xia Mu's children is a ninja?"

Xia Muminnan was surprised by Jin Ling's speculation and said, "How do you know? Madam Xia Mu's third son is a ninja, and his teacher is a high-level ninja, so the major families will give face to the Xia Mu family."

After hearing Xia Muminnan's introduction, Jin Ling thought about what Cheng Yi and the others had done this time, and he kept thanking himself for not doing anything else except asking Cheng Yi and the others to take away the banquet and the things in the treasury. Otherwise, Cheng Yi and the others might not have had the chance to return to China. Jin Ling felt that he might meet this group of so-called ninjas soon, which made him very worried about his family. After all, even if his family was very powerful, they would not be able to fight back in the hands of this group of people.

Then Jin Ling thought of the research results of Xia Muminnan's previous life in his own space. Jin Ling took out the potion and asked Xia Muminnan, "Can this thing be used?" Xia Muminnan looked at Jin Ling in surprise and said, "You actually have this thing, do you know what it is?" Jin Ling said uncertainly, "Isn't it a potion that can turn ordinary people into superpowers?" Xia Muminnan shook his head excitedly and said, "No, no, you don't understand. Didn't I tell you that the first generation of potions has great shortcomings, and the one you have in your hand doesn't have it, and there are only a few of them in the world." Jin Ling was full of question marks to express his incomprehension and said, "Why, can't this thing be mass-produced if you know the secret recipe?" Xia Muminnan was speechless and said, "Why, do you think this thing can be mass-produced." This question stumped Jin Ling, and Jin Ling said uncertainly, "Well, later I saw that all the major families have researched it out, doesn't this mean that it can be mass-produced."

Xia Muminnan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "It's impossible. Only the first potion can be mass-produced. The one in your hand is the teacher's final work. There are only ten bottles in the world, and the most important ingredient in these ten bottles is from the zombie king level. Do you think this thing is easy to produce now?" It was also the first time that Jin Ling knew that this thing was so precious. Now he was shaking a little when holding it in his hand. Jin Ling looked at Xia Muminnan at a loss.

Xia Muminnan saw Jin Ling's nervousness and said, "However, this thing can really turn ordinary people into people with special abilities, and it can also be inherited. What are you going to do? You are not going to create other people with special abilities, are you?" Jin Ling nodded.
