Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Seeing that Tilan had finished spinning the yarn, Deloris, who had been quietly standing by without disturbing her, finally spoke and approached.

"It's completed, Hexia." Her voice carried encouragement and admiration, as she gently caressed the seemingly heavenly Dawn Cloth held by the young girl.

"It's truly beautiful, even I am a bit moved." As the heiress of a luxury brand enterprise, she had seen many masters' works, but fabric that was this captivating even before being cut was something she encountered for the first time.

"What kind of clothing should it be cut and sewn into?"

"I'll leave the designing to you; I'll be responsible for cutting and sewing." The young girl blinked.

Seizing this rare moment to rely on Deloris, Hexia wouldn't miss this opportunity. Although the two were good friends, the young girl knew that if one always outperformed the other, offering help without expecting anything in return, the relationship would eventually become imbalanced and hard to maintain.

"Since Hexia trusts me this much, I must put in my best effort." Deloris did not bother with pleasantries here, as time was precious and not the moment to hesitate.

She quickly sat down to draft the pattern. In the days leading up to the competition, she had prepared for this, thinking that if Tilan lacked a good design, she would offer the few she had prepared. But it seemed Tilan had already decided to use her design.

Given the excellent quality of the Dawn Cloth, it would seem out of place to pair it with ordinary fabric. Therefore, the design should preferably involve a solid color ensemble. However, solid colors are most challenging, as any inconsistency can easily stand out.

As night slowly descended, gentle lamplight illuminated the workspace, and numerous flapping-wing machines carrying blue floral lanterns flitted through the woods, transforming the night into a scene with a fantastical fairy-tale beauty.

Although the competitors had some skill, only about 70% had successfully woven something compatible with the Dawn Cloth, leaving many with wasted materials, unfinished pieces, or substandard products.

Entering the cutting phase, the remaining participants formed several groups. Some used other colored fabrics to simplify the design difficulty, while others, like Tilan, aimed to complete the work with a unified fabric.

About half an hour later, Deloris finished the initial pattern, and Tilan began cutting according to the drawing. For someone skilled in fine swordsmanship like her, it was effortless. With just a few swift strokes, the fabric in her hands was sliced under a specially crafted blade. Meanwhile, others struggled, unable to cut through the tough Dawn Cloth threads with ease, as the Extraordinary Material Cloud Silk alone could fend off many sword strikes.

Amidst the rustling sound of cutting, Tilan pieced the cut fabric together according to the blueprint and began sewing. Notably, she used no needle or thread; instead, she seamlessly joined the pieces, aligning the fibers and patterns so no extra traces were visible—a technique that amazed and drew the attention of many.

"What technique is that, to achieve such a level?"

"Could this be the 'seamless' myth from the East?"

"What's her name, and which Transcendent Faction does this secret technique belong to?"

People incessantly inquired as the scene of the girl sewing a skirt was broadcasted across the entire space above the venue.

As this splendid gown gradually took shape and then floated lightly, Tilan's eyes slightly closed. With a hand gesture, the remaining Cloud Silk beside her flew up, threading through the air, weaving in and out like a dragon flitting among phoenixes into the fabric patterns of the dress, slowly creating a pattern of unparalleled beauty.

"This!" Not only the audience but even many of the other busy contestants were startled and riveted by this scene.

The uniqueness of Dawn Cloth lay in its textures. Even if cut, no one considered embroidering on it, for doing so would ruin its inherent structure and disperse any special branded pattern—a waste of precious material.

Yet what was witnessed today shattered preconceived notions. The white ornate pattern took form without compromising the original fabric effects, each threading seeming calculated to avoid tearing any existing connections, slipping through minute gaps like whispers.

Such skill is unattainable even by some Master Level individuals, yet it emerged in this competition. Many who saw this recognized their loss and simply stopped to admire in detail.

Finally, a few minutes later, the dress's pattern became clear to all present.

On the smoky orange gown embroidered a white phoenix, its magnificent tail feathers encircled the hem's edge, wings unfurling across the back, its head and neck looping to rest at the side of the chest, complementing the long tail feathers opposite with brilliance.

[Flowing Rosy Clouds Phoenix Skirt] (Mythical Color Crystal Level): Made from Cloud Silk dyed with 'Scarlet Grass Stem' and 'Orange Flame Chrysanthemum Petal', infused with magic from the Dusk Fire Glow, tailored with flawless craft, embroidered with the Five Phoenix Heritage's secret technique, bestows four enchantment effects: [Flowing Rosy Clouds Fire Protection Lv.6][Light Body Lv.5][Golden Silk Tenacity Lv.5][Phoenix Energy Attraction Lv.5].

Among them, [Light Body] derives from the Cloud Silk itself, [Flowing Rosy Clouds Fire Protection][Golden Silk Tenacity] from the Dawn Cloth, [Phoenix Energy Attraction] from the final phoenix embroidery. Typically, if made buttons with [Flowing Rosy Clouds Fire Protection Lv.4][Golden Silk Tenacity Lv.3], it is considered qualified, ranking medium in the Radiant Gold Level category.

If one can retain the lightweight trait of the 'Cloud Silk', it's a stable Condensing Bead Rank Extraordinary Creation, but such perfect integration of multiple traits, fully expressed, is likely only achieved by some Grandmaster Level figures, given the raw materials were merely Dark Silver Level, transcending them to reach Color Crystal Level, hitting the absolute limit.

Amid the numerous exclamations and cheers, the dress outshone all other works present, becoming the champion of the competition's first item. That very night, the name 'Angelica', hastily thought up for the occasion, spread throughout the Star Domain.
