Chapter 221: Feel Free To Keep Going
The moment Chang Xuefeng put down his knife and fork for the last time, the plate in front of him disappeared.
"Have we just decided not to talk about the sentient house?" he mused as he patted his mouth with his napkin before putting it on the table. "Because this is the first time I have ever come across one, and I..." his voice trailed off as if he didn’t know where he was trying to go with that sentence.
Never, in any of the realms, no matter how much magic was involved, has there ever been an inanimate object that was able to think, create things from thin air, and shift depending on the whim of another. Hell, there weren’t even whispers of it happening.
"Let’s just chalk this up to it being part of Hattie and leave it at that," replied Pride as he waved his hand in the air. "That woman has been able to do things since the beginning that defy logic, including a brand new sanctuary complete with a keeper. Accept what is right in front of your face, and then move on. No one can explain magic, and that is exactly what Hattie is."
Gluttony was about to open his mouth, only to be cut off by the sound of someone knocking on the front door. "We have a door again?" he muttered instead, cocking his head to the side. "Huh."
The knocking continued, becoming more and more insistent the longer it was ignored.
"Someone needs to answer that before the house bothers Hattie," pointed out Chang Xuefeng, only for the very walls to scoff at that statement.
"No," nodded Pride as he studied the wall across from him. "The house wants Hattie to sleep. It will keep everyone out until morning before it will wake her up."
There was a feeling of contentment in the room as if the walls itself were trying to tell the three men something.
