Chapter 484 Crispy Noodles’s Parade (2/2)

Li Du felt awkward. ”Is this really okay?”

He had played games like ”Diablo” and ”World of Warcraft” in high school and college. He knew what a dryad was.

The word ”Dryad” was derived from Greek mythology. In Greek, the word meant ”the tree spirits.” Legend had it that every oak tree was inhabited by nymphs. They could convey prophecies to humans and were well-regarded.

The problem was, weren't dryads females?!

When Sophie heard his explanation, she waved her hand. ”No, no, no, I'm talking about a 'druid.' They are the advocates of nature, they are neutral, treat the world with respect and live in recluse. Their special powers protect nature and bring balance to the world.”

Li Du could see that Sophie was vibrantly enthusiastic about this and started to put on the costume. There was a mask with a long white beard and a green cloak.

Sophie had even prepared a green hat, but Li Du adamantly refused to wear the green hat.

After Mr. Li finished putting the costume on, it was Sophie's turn.

The lady doctor put on a bear mask. Her slender frame coupled with the grim mask was weird to see but also strangely interesting.

Li Du was surprised. ”You're wearing that?”

”Yeah, I'm your giant bear escort,” said Sophie excitedly. ”Every druid has a mighty beast as a companion. I'm your companion.”

The parade was about to begin. Li Du carried Ah Ow, with Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles following behind, and they joined the big crowd of people.

The surrounding people were intrigued by the elegant ocelot and the agile raccoon. Many of them gave Li Du a thumbs up and remarked, ”Outstanding druid.”

As the number of praises increased, Li Du's level of satisfaction with the costume also surged. He felt that the costume really suited him.

The group of people walked along the road. It was not a very long walk—only about two miles long. It was a slow walk because the emphasis of the parade was on interaction.

There were farmers by the road carrying baskets to distribute food to them. There was bread, grilled corn, steamed corn, homemade yogurt, various fruits and a wide variety of snacks.

As Li Du was at the center of the crowd, he was unable to get any of this food. Crispy Noodles thought it was his turn to show his capability and talent.

The front paws of the raccoon were good at grabbing and holding things. He quickly ran to the side of the road to a farmer distributing food. He propped up his body with his two powerful hind legs, lifted his head, looked at the farmer piteously and extended his front paws.

The farmer cackled in delight when he saw Crispy Noodles asking for food. He gave him a plum, and Crispy Noodles put the plum into the pocket of the shirt he wore. Then he stretched out his paw and once again wore his piteous look.

Both ocelot and raccoon wore pet clothes that Li Du had bought for them ages ago.

His motive was to make the pets look more human-like, intelligent, adorable and fun. Some storage companies didn't want pets to enter as they wanted to prevent animals from pooping in their premises.

As Crispy Noodles left their sight, Li Du had to slow down. Sophie was worried and looked around anxiously. ”Crispy Noodles! Crispy Noodles, come back.”

As Li Du was tall, he saw where the little one had run off to. ”Don't worry, he went to get you some presents.”

A little while later, Crispy Noodles came running and hopping back on three legs—one of his paws clutched onto the pocket.

Many people who witnessed this scene took out their cameras.

Crispy Noodles thought that these people wanted to snatch the food away from him. He stood up and his two front paws clutched the pocket at his chest protectively. His eyes were vigilantly glaring at the people around him.

That resulted in even more people taking pictures.
