The raccoon immediately froze, instantly turning limp. This time, he had absolutely no chance of escaping.
Su Qinglan walked over and examined the creature carefully. "Is he a beastman or a wild beast?"
Hu Yan snorted softly. "Definitely a beastman."
Su Qinglan’s eyes widened. "A beastman?"
She looked at the little raccoon again in disbelief. If he was a beastman, then why was he stealthily raiding their farm like a wild pest?
"Then why were you stealing from our farm?" Su Qinglan asked, crossing her arms.
The raccoon remained stubbornly silent.
Hu Yan’s sharp eyes narrowed into dangerous slits. "Are you going to return to your human form yourself, or should I beat you until you do?"
The raccoon’s face immediately changed in terror. He hurriedly shouted, "I’ll transform! I’ll transform!"
A moment later, his small furry body was surrounded by a faint, shimmering glow. His fur disappeared, and his form rapidly expanded.
When the light faded, a young-looking male beastman stood in front of them.
But...
Su Qinglan’s eyes widened even further.
He was tiny! He barely reached Hu Yan’s chest. In fact, he was barely taller than Su Qinglan herself.
Su Qinglan stared at him in sheer astonishment. She had lived in the Beast World for quite some time now, but this was the very first time she had ever seen a raccoon beastman. She couldn’t help looking at him from head to toe.
So this was what a raccoon beastman looked like?
The raccoon beastman shifted uncomfortably under her intense, curious stare.
Su Qinglan finally cleared her throat and asked, "Why were you stealing from our farm?"
The young man lowered his head, his ears drooping slightly. "I didn’t mean to."
Su Qinglan raised an eyebrow. "Then?"
"My mates wanted some," he said, stating it so naturally that Su Qinglan almost didn’t register the words. "They said the vegetables smelled really good. They said they didn’t smell like ordinary, bitter wild vegetables."
Su Qinglan was completely speechless. He had actually admitted to his crime so frankly!
But just as she thought he was being honest, the nimble raccoon suddenly twisted his slick body and tried to slip past them to escape again.
"Got you!" Han Jue reacted instantly, his hand shooting out to grab the raccoon’s shoulder.
The raccoon’s face changed as Han Jue’s fingers tightened around his arm, his sharp nails pressing against him just enough to make him stop struggling.
"Let him go," Su Qinglan said softly.
Han Jue glanced at her but obediently loosened his grip.
Su Qinglan looked at the raccoon suspiciously. "So you really have a mate?"
"Of course!" The raccoon immediately puffed out his chest proudly. "I have a wife!"
Han Jue sneered coldly from the side. "You?"
The raccoon glared at him fiercely.
Han Jue looked him up and down with utter disdain. "You don’t even look old enough to have one. And judging by your sneaky behavior, I doubt you can even support yourself."
The raccoon’s face turned bright red with indignation. "What do you mean?!"
Han Jue crossed his arms. "You’re lying."
