if I just want to paste something from somewhere else.


* List
  1. list
  2. list
  3. list

indent-region doesn't seem to work very well except the list was
format as the way that there's no space before the bullet

You probably want to look at filladapt.  This provides ways to fill lists of various types.

Something like this you can also handle by setting the prefix string (^X . is bound to set-fill-prefix)

C-x . runs `set-fill-prefix'

`set-fill-prefix' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
  -- loaded from "/usr/src/xemacs-21.4.19/.build/lisp/fill.elc"
(set-fill-prefix)

Documentation:
Set the fill prefix to the current line up to point.
Filling expects lines to start with the fill prefix and
reinserts the fill prefix in each resulting line.
