Truth is often crueler than imagined.
Before Asina went to Snow Mountain to rendezvous with Muse, she had serious self-doubts. What was Jie Luo's real reason for saving her?
After all, she stood out so sorely among the members of the Hero Team. At the time, Asina worried that Jie Luo saved her because he coveted her talent for amplifying Magic Power.
Although Asina had her suspicions, she had been consoling herself, thinking it couldn't be true, that she was probably just overthinking. But the truth often turns out to be so much crueler... and even more vicious than expected.
He had been watching everything all along, but chose to show up just when the Magician was about to violate her, saving her only to deepen her positive feelings and impression of him.
And her affection for Jie Luo did not stem merely from that clichéd scenario of a hero saving the damsel in distress, but also from the Charm derived from the Evil God that bewitched her.
