She had just been thinking that while the system said the Contractual Ability could be used to contract Wild Beasts and Exotic Plants, it never said it *couldn't* be used on Exotic Beasts and Beastmen.
Besides, her Charm Ability was useless against Lan Qi.
What's more, after spending the past several days with him, she had seen the affection Lan Qi held for her. He was, after all, her friend.
While he was still under someone else's control, she couldn't bring herself to kill him.
The only way to break the stalemate was to control Lan Qi herself, making him work for her and temporarily freeing him from the South Beast City Lord's influence.
So she decided to try and see if this Contractual Ability would work on Lan Qi.
Who would have thought that it would actually work on the first try!
And just like that, Lan Qi had become her Contracted Beast…
