This chapter's epigraph comes from the opening lines of the novel, in which the narrator laments that he has caused so much trouble, though he fought for the sake of his fiancee. He asks if his sister knows who he is, and wonders why she is holding the brat, while releasing the strange fire. He wonders if the fire will burn both of them to death, and he wonders if sister will burn him to death as well. He also wonders if he will be able to get his fiancee involved in his business, even if he is involved in the current situation, since he is afraid that he will expose him. He then asks why he put on the disguise when he arrived at the floating island of his family, and why he did not come to find him when he did. He wants to know if sister knows that he is the person who is burning the fire, and if she is hiding something. He is shocked that his fiancee would let her fiancee protect him, but he is also shocked that he would slap her before she marries. He tells her that she should obey her husband, and she slaps him back, saying that he slaps her to make her realize that she obeys her husband. She then asks if he knows what his sister did, and when he says that he does not know the rules, she scolds him for not knowing the rules. She says that she does not have any rules, and that anyone who tries to touch her family will be punished. She also asks who killed xie, and who killed him.
