In the cloud-dream swamp dungeon, Fang and Cui xie try to figure out a way to escape. Fang says that they've already killed six or seven people in the dungeon, and that if they kill him, they'll be able to get out. He also says that he'll do whatever he can to protect Luo zheng in case they have to fight back. Fang wants to go back to his father's house, but he doesn't know what to do. He says he can't go back unless he takes his maidenhood away from Luo-zheng. He's not sure if that's the right thing to do, and he's worried that if he does, his sister will kill him.
