Back at the camp, Fang is still coughing. He's not sure where he's been or what's going on. He can't figure out how to get back to the mainland, because the system says he has to win the heart of the female protagonist before he can return to the real world. He doesn't want to spend the rest of his life with her, because she's so in love with him. He coughs and coughs until he realizes that they're looking for the real king of southern China. They're not looking for him, he says, because he looks older than he is. He says that he'll never live to see his father die, because his father is still alive, kicking, and still alive. Fang thinks this is all a big misunderstanding, and he blames himself for the whole thing.
