The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

"Huh, will this thing really work?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mang immediately became anxious.

You can say his cultivation level isn't high, but you absolutely cannot say his inventions are bad.

"Give me the [something], it'll definitely work!"

"Don't let its current terrifying appearance fool you; once I put on the fake skin, it'll look exactly like a real person!"

"Plus, I created a replica of the ancient puppet core. Although it's just a scaled-down version of the assembly-line robot I envisioned, it's no different from a normal woman except for bearing your children!"

Although he spoke with great certainty, his eyes kept darting around, clearly indicating that he himself lacked confidence.

However, Li Mingfei's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

Seeing that he hadn't noticed his problem, Wang Mang regained his confidence.

"Alright, now you can tell me your requirements!"

"I can satisfy you no matter what kind you are!"

Li Mingfei immediately became hesitant.

"Hehehe, I don't want anything else, I just want Miss Ling'er!"

Snapped!Snapped!

Immediately, both Lu Changfeng and Wang Mang couldn't help but facepalm.

Goodness, this guy is a total simp!

Well, since they brought him along, they must have anticipated this situation.

"Okay, but since this is my first time, and I need to replicate a human appearance, I'll need a month to prepare!"

Li Mingfei was now completely excited.

The thought of having Ling'er in a month filled him with excitement. It's just a month, he can wait!

"no problem!"

Finally, after paying a deposit of 2000 spirit stones, Li Mingfei left with Lu Changfeng, satisfied.

One month later, at the end of August,

Early in the morning, Lu Changfeng was intently watching two women fight with his divine sense when suddenly the office door was pushed open, startling him.

When he looked up, he saw Li Mingfei looking excited, and immediately flew into a rage.

"Golden-haired chicken, have you no manners at all? Don't you know you should knock before coming in?"

But Li Mingfei didn't care about knocking now; he had been looking forward to Ling'er for a month, and he couldn't wait any longer.

"Ahhh, Brother Lu, I can't wait to see Miss Ling'er!"

"Brother Lu, please come with me! I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Upon hearing that he could get it for free, Lu Changfeng's eyes lit up.

"Sure, sure!"

When the two returned to Wang Mang's laboratory, Li Mingfei was immediately drawn to the girl lying on the metal table.

The girl had her eyes closed and her body was covered by a white cloth, but it was immediately obvious that this was Ling'er, the girl Li Mingfei had been longing for.

"Ling'er, my dear!"

Almost the instant they met, Li Mingfei couldn't help but murmur to himself.

But he quickly realized that there were other people around!

Almost instantly, his face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

This scene amused Lu Changfeng and Wang Mang greatly. In the end, Wang Mang slowly stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and reminded him...

"Alright, Miss Ling'er will be yours soon. Now, there's just one more crucial step!"

"That is to awaken your Ling'er!"

"Come, drip a drop of your blood here, preferably one imbued with spiritual energy, so that she will truly remember you!"

As he spoke, he pressed a few times, and although the puppet Ling'er had her eyes closed, she slowly opened her mouth.

Li Mingfei was stunned by what he saw.

"This is?"

Wang Mang looked smug.

"Hehehe, this kind of puppet was originally designed to withstand the high-intensity work on an assembly line, but considering that you're just here for emotional companionship, we've stripped it of many functions!"

"But these empty spaces would look terrible if they weren't filled in, so I installed a blender for her. That way, she can pretend to eat like a normal person!"

"By the way, the mouth is where you activate and recognize your master. Now, prick your finger and let your Ling'er activate!"

Hearing this, Li Mingfei was confused by what was being said, but he understood the last sentence.

"good!"

He immediately pricked his finger and then slowly inserted it into the mouth of the puppet Ling'er.

The moment the blood mixed with spiritual energy entered, the entire machine trembled.

hiss!

Seeing this scene, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss, Wang Mang, that's so perverse! Who puts a power button in their mouth?!"

Wang Mang also had something to say about this.

"What can I do? The power-on and master recognition processes require accessing the puppet's core, but if this thing is exposed carelessly, it'll break sooner or later!"

"This is the optimal solution!"

Lu Changfeng didn't say anything more about this, since what Wang Mang said did make sense.

The most important part of a puppet is its core, much like the control chip of the robot in my previous life; it definitely needs to be protected.

As blood entered, the puppet Ling'er on the platform slowly opened her eyes.

"Owner!"

Just from that one sentence, Li Mingfei, who was initially a little nervous, froze on the spot. Then, his entire face turned bright red, like a chameleon.

"You, you, you! What did you say? Say it again!"

Although the puppet Ling'er didn't understand why she received such an order, she obediently repeated it.

"Owner!"

Li Mingfei became even more excited immediately.

"Hehehe, say it again!"

"Owner!"

"Oh ho ho ho, shout it again!"

"Owner!"

"Again, again!"

…………

Watching the interaction between the two, Wang Mang couldn't help but complain.

"Is this guy an idiot?!"

Lu Changfeng lowered his head.

"I don't know him!"

In the end, Wang Mang broke their cycle.

"Alright, next I'll tell you about some things to note!"

These words immediately drew the attention of the golden-haired rooster and the puppet Ling'er, who had been locked in a sweet moment of intimacy.

"good!"

"Yes, Father!"

Wang Mang raised an eyebrow at this, but ultimately tacitly accepted the terms "Ling'er" and "father."

"Yes, although she was made to scale with Miss Ling'er, I've already given her my own name. You can call her Lingling's Wife, or you can call her Xiao Qi!"

"Although Xiao Qi looks almost like a normal person and can eat, its actual driving energy comes from spirit stones. It needs to consume 12 spirit stones a day to maintain normal operation. The spirit stone storage warehouse can hold a total of 30 spirit stones, which can last for about two and a half days!"

"Of course, if you want to make things easier, you can store mid-grade or high-grade spirit stones!"

"If all thirty are placed in mid-grade spirit stones, it can operate normally for about eight months!"

"Besides that, did you see the golden circular headband on Ling'er's head? That's to distinguish her from the real Ling'er, and it can also be used to contact you in an emergency!"

"..."

As Wang Mang explained intently, Li Mingfei diligently took notes on these important points.

After he left with his little Qi, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but ask,

"Wang Mang, that Xiao Qi is good in every way, but why does he seem so dull-witted?"

Wang Mang shrugged at Lu Changfeng's question.

"After all, it's just a replica, and while some dynamism has been added, it's already quite good that it looks rather lifeless!"

"Besides, what man can resist a dull-witted wife who will always obey his every command!"
