Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 475 - 184 Perfect Day
The fledgling company was quickly set up, considering that she still needed to focus on her studies, so the only members of the ’Gloaming Blossom’ company were Tilan, Deloris, and Annelli, the three of them.
The only business recently was probably the album royalties from ’White Swan’ Audrey, who said when she left that she’d give 10% of the profits after deducting expenses to Hexia for the song they sang together.
It might not seem like much, but the album had ten tracks, and only one was a duet by Audrey and Tilan. Allocating 10% was already very generous, considering all the labor and distribution were handled on Audrey’s end.
With Audrey’s thinking, she wasn’t too concerned with the income from that one album; she was more keen on fostering a good relationship with Tilan and also compensating for the damage and impact caused by Feng Jianxue’s intrusion into Jielou City.
Now that the descendants of the Five Phoenixes were scarce, Audrey (Feng Jianchang) was very happy to meet Hexia, the inheritor of the Qing Luan Legitimate Inheritance, and she wanted to maintain a long-term friendship. She even thought that if they both had descendants in the future, they could foster an intergenerational bond.
Half a month after the academy started, affairs gradually got on the right track, and Hexia finally welcomed a relatively relaxed weekend.
In the morning, after a good lie-in, Hexia managed to get up at 9:50 am. After quickly freshening up, she changed into cotton tights and a light Dailan dress and then left her residence to arrive at the academy’s entrance.
"Tilan’s here." At the school gate, Ruby waved at the girl, her purple-red ombre hair being wildly recognizable.
Standing next to Ruby was Deloris with a sun hat and Efnie in a trench coat; both wore tea-colored sunglasses to partially hide their faces.
As Tilan approached, the three took her hand and all got into the parked hover car together, heading toward the bustling commercial district.
"We’ll first go shopping, then have lunch at the ’Hexagon Prism’ restaurant, watch a movie in the afternoon, visit the aquarium in the evening to see the ’Glowing Festival’ of Transcendent aquatic creatures, and in the night, there will be a performance by the popular band ’Straw Hat Cake’." Efnie, who was in the front, directed the hover car’s destination and then unfolded a projection map to introduce today’s itinerary to the others in the car.
"Marvellously packed~" Ruby blinked and made a victory sign with her hand.
"We’ll follow Efnie’s plan," agreed Deloris with a nod.
"What about Tilan?"
"I have no objections, just afraid I might get sleepy midway through." After hearing today’s schedule, the girl thought she probably wouldn’t have the chance to take a nap.
"Tilan still loves sleep as much as ever," said Deloris, holding her hand while sitting beside her.
"If you get sleepy later, you can just nap on my lap; I don’t mind at all." Deloris blinked.
Efnie, who was driving in the front, heard this and glanced at the girl in the rearview mirror who appeared a bit embarrassed. She wanted to say something, but Ruby spoke up first.
"No, we can’t let Tilan sleep in Deloris’s arms all the time. It was like that during our past travels, always Deloris and Tilan sharing a bed." Ruby shook her finger, signaling that this wasn’t acceptable.
"We all want Tilan, so this time if Tilan gets sleepy, she should sleep in the gentle, adorable, and loving arms of Ruby the Archangel." While her demeanor was closer to that of a little devil, Ruby often compared herself to an angel, specifically a very benevolent Archangel.
"I agree too," Efnie chimed in unusually, supporting Ruby’s teasing, which surprised the other three. But seeing her relaxed and easygoing manner, they also let their guard down, and soon the car was filled with laughter.
The hover car followed the aerial track, steadily moving forward and eventually turning into a tiny speck within the colorful flow of the city’s airy traffic.
In the morning, the group began their day shopping in the commercial district, where everyone purchased a few sets of clothes. Deloris even picked out a special black hairband with silver embroidery for Tilan, adorned with a phoenix pattern.
At noon, they dined in a rotating sky restaurant similar to a carousel. Each table was a private space, offering views of the scenery below and the distant sea. The lunch menu included T4-grade spicy red shrimp, perilla-flavored cloud fish slices, tomato pasta, and chilled watermelon juice.
In the afternoon, they visited a movie theater to watch a classic court drama, "The Secret of the Ten Princesses," which tells the story of how, during the Third Era, a king with no sons had ten daughters instead. After the king’s mysterious death, the princesses’ mutual trust, suspicion, struggle, and individual fates unfolded.
At dusk, the party left the movie theater and headed to an underground aquarium in South First District. The aquarium showcased not only a variety of extraordinary aquatic creatures originally bred there but also extraordinary animals exhibited from other Star Domains and "courtyards."
"Over there, there’s a group of ’Levitation Jellyfish’ that are really beautiful," Ruby said excitedly, pointing at a cluster of glowing jellyfish swimming in the distance, as they walked through a dark blue transparent underwater tunnel.
The jellyfish appeared transparent, emitting halos of light in various colors that overlapped and shone with an extra beauty in the dim underwater light.
"These must be bred by the Illusory Cloud Star Domain. I heard their largest ’Levitation Jellyfish’ can reach over ten kilometers in size, enough to cover a city’s sky," Efnie recalled from the news she’d heard before.
"They’re cultivated by the Floating Courtyard. They’re particularly adept at the Tidal Sequence, a well-known breeder faction in the Southern Federation," Tilan added.
"Tilan, are you that familiar with breeders too?" Deloris asked, looking curiously at the black-haired girl beside her.
"I occasionally know a bit," the girl blinked, keeping to herself that she was also studying at the Yuanting Academy.
She’d talk about it later; otherwise, everyone would get curious. She knew very well that her companions were fond of small animals, and if she mentioned she could breed extraordinary creatures, they’d likely come to her for various inquiries often.
Besides, she enjoyed the relaxed and comfortable life at Yuanting and wanted to maintain that secluded, tranquil environment.
After viewing all the exotic and extraordinary aquatic life on exhibit, they left the aquarium a bit reluctantly, then took a car to the already crowded concert venue.
"’Straw Hat Cake’ is a recently popular band; they often tour various Star Domains in the Federation, and it’s rare for them to come to Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain," Ruby explained to the other three as they approached the concert, which she had suggested attending that evening.
"This band of three men and two women is one of the few youthful boy-girl groups. Their songs usually relate to teenage love, which I particularly like. I’ve even imitated their tunes and written my own songs," Ruby said as she led them to the VIP seats near the front of the concert.
Not long after, a burst of fireworks exploded, and amid the cheers of the crowd, the five band members appeared on the towering steel frame curtain wall behind the stage.
The backlight silhouetted their figures; then they began playing, warming up for several minutes high in the air to gradually lift the atmosphere of the place before jumping down together onto the stage.

With their colorful and slightly humorous rap clothing, occasional interactions, and greetings with the audience, the members—all no older than 23—sang catchy tunes that even someone with no musical background could hum along to.
As their cheerful songs played, the mood in the venue was like being immersed in a joyful ocean, filled with the sweet, naïve happiness of youth.
For the final song, multicolored soap bubbles rose from below the stage, filling the air and sometimes bursting with a fresh mint fragrance.
The colored glow sticks waved, the final fireworks soared, and the falling sparks mirrored the youthful faces of the crowd below.
Perhaps someday they would grow up and face the various troubles of reality, but this wonderful scene of youth would remain a sweet and nostalgic memory.
