This item seemed powerful, judging from the description in the note. However, energy consumption was the problem. Miaomiao wasn't confident that he could sacrifice his precious essence cores to fuel this robot.
50,000 liters of Life Essence could be extracted from one essence core. To maintain the doll in an inactive mode for a day, Miaomiao had to spend at least 20 cores.
Miaomiao almost had a heart attack when he calculated the number of essence cores required to fill the tank. It would be wiser to use those cores to increase the volume of his essence seas.
"What a useless doll."
"Useless?" Xu Chu sighed, "Indeed, it's useless to me and every immortal. However, you've underestimated her abilities."
"Why? Does it worth investing millions of essence cores to fill its energy tank? This doesn't include the need for an element core. I'm not rich enough to waste my good money on something like this, you know."
"Then, how are you going to defeat a 9th-stage cultivator with your current strength if one of them were to find trouble with you now?"
"…"
"Obviously, you would have been killed instantly. But with this doll, maybe you can still have a chance of winning."
"… I get what you're trying to say, but how many 9th-stage cultivators are there in this continent? I doubt I even need to use it. As long as I mind my own business, I don't think those proud cultivators care about me, a lowly 4th-stage cultivator."
"Haven't you told me that you messed with the Yuan Clan or Kishin Douji? Are you confident that they won't send 8th-stage or 9th-stage guys to hunt you down? Those two mongrels are vengeful, you know."
"…"
Miaomiao used to consult with Xu Chu when he had free time. She taught him a lot about the relationship between the Yuan Clan and Kishin Douji, which gave him an idea of how strong they were.
His heart sank when he thought of the Yuan Clan, the organization with Yuan Hua as a backer. Recently, he had been at odds with her after Zhang Junyi's incident.
There was no telling if she might bring her subordinates to avenge for the tranny. Miaomiao might need this doll as his bodyguard in the future.
"Is there a downside to using this doll? Do you know anything about it?"
Miaomiao continued to consult with Xu Chu as she was the only godlike being that he could depend on at the moment.
"Of course. Hongjun's Battle Marionettes were famous in the past. The Dragon Slayer models were the most dangerous ones, but they were defective since they usually killed their owners if they deem them unworthy."
Now, Miaomiao didn't want to use this battle doll anymore. He glanced at another glass coffin icon in his system inventory, which came from the quest reward.
'I wonder if it's the same. Well, nothing can go wrong if I unseal it in this space, right? I have Xu Chu here with me. She might be powerless, but she should be able to defeat a rampaging T-800, right?'
Miaomiao took out another glass coffin and unseal it to check if it had the same battle doll in the coffin.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. The doll looked similar, but it came with sexual organs. Its breasts and slit were well-made, but its purpose was purely for sex.
The note said it all.

…
It was lackluster compared to the prototype combat doll. This one's usage was solely for sex and housekeeping.
While Miaomiao wasn't interested in it, Xu Chu was enthusiastic about the bald doll.
"What a useless doll. But hey, if I remember correctly, many nerds are willing to pay a lot for this. This shit is crazy on bed if my memory serves me right. I heard a rumor that they were as good as succubi, and I always wanted to test if they were really good at sex."
"I thought you would have been offended. Was it really the rage two thousand years ago?"
"You have no idea," Xu Chu couldn't stop laughing, thinking of the depraved immortals who couldn't get a girlfriend. Their expressions were always priceless every time she seduced them to bed.
Xu Chu popped a sexy pill into her mouth and grew a member between her legs. Oddly, her appearance, her signature ample breasts, and the golden hole remained.
She became a FUTA!
"Mind if I use it?" Xu Chu pointed at the doll while she massaged her PP.
"You take care of it, then. By the way, be careful about the pill effect. If it wears off during sex, a disaster might happen."
"Meh, what can go wrong with my glorious dick!? Even if the pill effect wears off, I can transform my clit into a pseudo dick! Don't look down on my Sex Dao, my boy."
After saying that, Xu Chu injected the sleeping sex droid with her precious essence, which she had absorbed from Miaomiao's dantian space. She started playing with the bald doll in the glass coffin, leaving Miaomiao hanging by himself.
…
Being ditched by Xu Chu, Miaomiao's mood was killed. He woke up and returned to the real world.
After Miaomiao opened his eyes, he discovered Ju Xie, being surrounded by Jia Shan, Ju Shoufen, Ma Ping, and Wang Yun.
Ju Xie finally finished fetching the item, aka rumored book, and the elders were busy protecting the boy from several death knights in the sky.
Miaomiao squinted his eyes and looked around. Fortunately, he wasn't attacked when he had been meditating. Otherwise, he would have been killed instantly.
Death knights, who were supposed to be under Liu Bian's control, now began attacking each other. Some of them found the elders and besieged them.
'Time to bail, I guess.'
Miaomiao circulated his Life Essence, planning to convert them into light element Qi and fire a few Starlight Breaker Beams.
However, as soon as he converted 100,000 liters into Light Element Qi and gathered them in his right fingertips, a shadow blade severed his right forearm.
Appearing out of nowhere was another death knight, who emerged from Miaomiao's shadow. It sensed the latter's Light Element Qi and deemed him a threat. As such, it activated its shadow domain and severed the right hand with a shadow blade.
Despite losing his arm, Miaomiao simply frowned and glanced at the death knights. He had died and been tortured in the Isolation Training Space for too many times that he got used to the pain and death.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Miaomiao was no exception.
He forgot that he was injured in the real world, not in the dream world.
'Oh, well. I can just respawn… wait a second. Am I still in ITS?'
Miaomiao adjusted his mindset too late. The death knight's blade had already descended to his neck.
CLANK!
The shadow blade was deflected by the ice layer on top of Miaomiao's skin.
'Master, pay attention! Stop daydreaming already!'
White Album scolded Miaomiao for being absentminded. Although she managed to prevent the fatal blow, she couldn't protect him forever.
Miaomiao discarded his severed arm and kicked the ground, rushing toward the exit, running away from the death knight.
"LEAVE THIS PLACE, NOW!!"
Ma Ping and Jia Shan also had the same idea. They dragged Ju Xie and Wang Yun with them. As for Ju Shoufen, she already transformed into a firebird and created a firewall, preventing the death knights from chasing after them.
Everyone leaped through the portal and returned to the underground pylon tower. However, three of the death knights chased after them.
"GET LOST!"
Jia Shan's soul sword sliced their heads in half, giving the group enough time to fly away from the tower.
After the death knights disintegrated and they gained a distance from the tower, everyone managed to catch their breath.
Mike glanced at Miaomiao's lost arm. He snickered, "This is what you get for killing a necromancer without our consent. Liu Bian's summons ran amok and crippled you for life. Fortunately, they randomly attacked each other. Otherwise, we would have died back there had they acted as one."
As soon as Mike finished his sentence, Miaomiao's transparent blood gushed out from the wound and regenerated the lost body part. Light Element, Gold Element, and Water Element Qi gathered within the transparent blood, recreating the forearm bone, muscle tissues, blood vessels, and skin.
Miaomiao tilted his head and looked at Mike, "What did you say again?"
"… Are you a monster? What the hell is your physique!?"
"Don't worry about it. It's just a plot armor power I stole from someone else."
"…"
Ma Ping continued to fly toward the exit route toward the emperor's chamber, rushing the group to leave this place.
"Let's go. We have what we've come here for."
Miaomiao's eyes brightened, "Do we have the record?"
Ma Ping didn't answer. He carried Mike to the exit.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNone of them looked back toward the pylon tower, which slowly collapsed due to the chaotic energy within the portal. As soon as it was left with only a portal and a ruined tower, several grey brick walls emerged from the ground and sealed the entrance to the gate.
No one could tell what had happened to the portal and the death knights in the shadow plane afterward.
…
Ma Ping, Jia Shan, Ju Shoufen, and Mike didn't say anything after they left the deserted imperial palace. The party flew toward the guesthouse, where everyone had been waiting.
Ju Shoufen put Ju Xie down. She patted his head, "It's alright. It's not your fault."
Ju Xie passed a thick leather book to Ju Shoufen with his bloody hands. His arms had been cut, but they had stopped bleeding.
Ju Shoufen fed the boy another healing pill. Then, she tossed the book to Ma Ping.
"I hope you're happy, War Hero. The child suffered because of your greed."
"Don't blame everything on me. Rather, we're lucky that most monsters ignored us. It could have been worse," Ma Ping sighed and looked at Miaomiao. "As for you… Don't kill anyone recklessly, especially monster tamers, necromancers, or shaman cultivators. Their familiars can go on a rampage when they're released."
Ma Ping didn't say it directly, but he reprimanded Miaomiao for killing Liu Bian without their permission. As a result, the death knights went on a rampage and almost killed all of them.
"Sorry…"
Ma Ping nodded and looked at Lu Fengxian, "We're done here. We'll return to Siren City. Master, come with us."
The elders started grouping and talking among themselves again, leaving out Miaomiao and younger generation cultivators.
While Miaomiao was concentrating on regenerating his lost forearm back, he looked at Mike, who was isolated from the conversation as well. He raised his hand and asked the elders, "What about him?"
Ma Ping glanced at Mike for a moment before he looked away, "We'll leave him here."
Mike bitterly laughed, "Leaving me here with my meridians sealed? Why don't you kill me instead?"
"You will regain your strength in a few days."
"… Sure. Then, goodbye. Oh, you, can you undo your fire element curse?"
Being reminded of the implanted bomb, Miaomiao took back his dragon fire Qi and let Mike go.
Getting released, Mike was relieved. He walked away without looking back.
After allowing Mike to leave, Ma Ping gathered all the crews and told them to pack their belongings. They would return home today.
…
That day, Ma Ping, Jia Shan, and the gang brought all prisoners and Hua Xiong back to Siren City with them per Lu Fengxian's instruction. As for the book, Lu Fengxian took it.
Miaomiao asked if he could read the book, but Lu Fengxian refused to share it since he hadn't read it yet. However, the ex-immortal promised to teach Miaomiao about the secret after he had mastered it first.
Mike also went on a separate way. He left the city by himself, heading south toward a grand mountain range, which was the home of a low-key sect.
Everybody was satisfied that they got something valuable for coming here. Moreover, no one had died.
Miaomiao was also happy. After finishing the campaign quest, no dao god had imposed any quest for him yet. He got to enjoy peaceful slow life for once.
None of them could have predicted that the day after, the imperial royal guards burnt the city to the ground. Surviving civilians were herded to the Red Sun Port, where a certain merchant clan was in charge of protecting.
A week later, odd rumors had been spread from the Red Sun Port to nearby provinces.
[A group of rebels from Siren City attacked Red Sun City and razed it.]
[Former War Hero and the sword saint were in league with Liu Bian. They murdered Dong Zhongying and captured the child emperor, Liu Xie.]
[Siren City's savages plundered the Liu Clan's treasury and imperial palaces.]
Then, Mount Hua, a famous sect on the Hua Mountain Range, south of Red Sun City, heard another strange rumor.
[Siren City obtained the secret of Time-and-Space from the secret vault of Liu Hong, the previous emperor!]
