Chapter 297 Funeral

The rain was pouring down, and the entire holy city was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

A coffin was carried by two soldiers and buried in the highest-level cemetery in the holy city, where only senior officials of the holy city and their families could be buried.

"Get out of the way!" Wang Lun shouted, and everyone turned around with umbrellas in hand.

Xiao Xun staggered forward a few steps, and Wang Lun immediately followed with an umbrella.

Xiao Xun bent his thin body and squatted in front of the coffin. His eyes were red and his heart was filled with sorrow. Why did God treat him like this?

He finally found Ye Li, and the family could have been reunited, but she died tragically.

When she was found in the forest that day, she had become a charred corpse. The only recognizable thing was the ID card she wore around her neck, which was also partially burned by the fire.

Xiao Xun touched the coffin, reluctant to let go. Wang Lun came forward and helped him up, "City Lord, it's time."

Xiao Xun stepped aside and watched woodenly as the soldiers buried the coffin with sand, which gradually disappeared.

The cold tears finally slid down the corners of his eyes. His heart ached, but he was powerless to do anything. It was really a life worse than death.

The only ones who came to watch the ceremony were Ye Li's friends, including Mr. Xu, Xu Jie, Yu Guangming, and Qi Yuanchuan.

Xiaomu and Xixi's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and they were very emotional. In order to avoid accidents, Xiao Xun asked them to say goodbye in the mourning hall and then stay there.

"My condolences!" Qi Yuanchuan walked over to Xiao Xun, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to leave. He didn't belong to the Holy City, and the Forest Tribe still needed their help. That was where Ye Li had worked so hard. Now that she was dead, he could do the rest.

Mr. Xu and others also want to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Xun stopped Xu Lao and the others and said, "Can you stay for a few days? Xiao Mu and Xi Xi must want you to stay longer."

Elder Xu shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord. I think we should return to the Forest Tribe. You know the rules of the Holy City best, don't you? It wouldn't be right for us to stay."

"Just stay for a few days." Xiao Xun pleaded, "With Ye Li dead, Xiao Mu and Xi Xi will have a hard time adapting to this place. They'll be much happier with you around."

"Okay, we'll stay." Xu Jie stood up and said, and Xu Lao and others also tacitly agreed.

"Thank you." Xiao Xun nodded sincerely in gratitude.

The rain was still falling, just like his heart at this moment. He was in so much pain that he was about to go crazy, but as the lord of the holy city and the father of two children, he had to stay sober.

Xiao Xun stood in the rain, took one last look at Ye Li's grave, then turned and left.

…

Inside the iron fence stained with blood, Ye Li was holding a baseball bat, smashing the zombies that rushed towards him one by one into pieces, his moves were ruthless and efficient.

"Good!" Even Jiang Mei's men couldn't help but cheer for Ye Li. Two months had passed, and all kinds of torture instruments had been used. In the end, even zombies were used, but she was like an indestructible cockroach. She didn't collapse at all, but became stronger than before.

"Anything else?" Ye Li, carrying a baseball bat, smiled contemptuously, "I thought you'd found something good for me to practice with, but it turned out to be nothing special."

Jiang Mei smiled, took off the fox fur coat draped over her shoulders, and handed it to her subordinate beside her. She personally took a baseball bat, had someone open the gate of the fence, and walked inside the fence.

"How about we have a fight?"

Ye Li clenched the baseball bat in her hand. Although she looked as disheveled as a beggar, she smiled brightly: "Okay, but don't lose to me." As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes immediately became bloodthirsty, which made people shudder.
