God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

Qin Siyang, who no longer wanted any entanglement with Li Jingwen, had long lost his patience.

Every extra word he spoke to Li Jingwen made him feel like he was sinking into depravity.

Since ordinary words couldn't make this brain-dead zombie realize his stance, then he might as well go straight for the grenade launcher.

Now, she should clearly understand that Qin Siyang was no longer the obedient lapdog who let her do whatever she pleased.

Watching Li Jingwen's face change color, growing uglier by the second, Qin Siyang felt an immense sense of relief.

This time, his words had finally worked.

He strode into the classroom.

As expected, Li Jingwen no longer clung to him, trailing behind at a slow pace.

Qin Siyang glanced back at her, and she didn't even dare to meet his gaze. She merely stared ahead at the tiled pathway, lost in thought.

Qin Siyang happily entered the classroom, found his usual corner, plopped down, and prepared for another day of zoning out.

But he didn't expect that things with Li Jingwen weren't truly over.

To be precise, his involvement with her had ended.

Now, it was the beginning of a conflict between Li Jingwen and the people around him.

Things were developing beyond Qin Siyang's expectations.

When Li Jingwen entered the classroom, her face was as dark as an eggplant smeared with sauce—absolutely ghastly.

Her clique of girlfriends immediately surrounded her, bombarding her with concern.

"Jingwen, what's wrong?"

"Yeah, you look really upset. Did you not sleep well last night?"

Li Jingwen was beautiful and knew how to handle people, making her the natural leader of their little circle.

Now that she was getting close to Zhou Yang, whose uncle had awakened a sequence ability, she had become the unquestioned queen of their group.

Gritting her teeth, Li Jingwen said with resentment,"How did Qin Siyang find out about me and Zhou Yang?"

Her friends were dumbfounded.

'That blockhead Qin Siyang—how did he suddenly get a clue?'

Li Jingwen's eyes were filled with hatred. "He couldn't have known on his own. His sudden change in attitude must mean someone told him."

"Could it be one of you, someone who can't stand to see me doing well, secretly spilled the truth to Qin Siyang?"

Sweeping her gaze across her so-called best friends, her expression turned venomous.

But the girls just exchanged glances, each looking innocent.

"Jingwen, you know I've never spoken a single word to Qin Siyang."

"Jingwen, I'm so much uglier than you. I'll need your help in the future—why would I sabotage you?"

"Yeah, Jingwen, you must be mistaken. We all support you. What good would it do us to tell Qin Siyang? We're already drowning in homework—haven't we suffered enough?"

Hearing their protests, Li Jingwen nodded. She truly didn't believe her friends had any reason to rat her out.

They were also beneficiaries of her control over Qin Siyang—there was no reason for them to shoot themselves in the foot.

"If I find out who did it, they'd better pray I never catch them."

One of her friends looked worried,"Forget about that snitch for now. Jingwen, how are you going to keep getting close to Zhou Yang without an excuse to compare answers? You know we're hopeless at homework—we can't help you there."

"Yeah, and what about the breakfasts you bring him? You know our families' financial situations—we can't afford to provide extra meals for Zhou Yang."

"Exactly! Some of us struggle to afford breakfast ourselves. We really can't spare an extra one for you. Maybe you should think of another solution?"

Li Jingwen hadn't even asked them for help yet, but they were already distancing themselves, making it clear they wouldn't provide any actual support.

She merely scoffed at their freeloading ways but said nothing.

She had never truly valued these so-called best friends. Once she married Zhou Yang, she planned to cut them off completely. She only kept them around now because they were useful for brainstorming ideas.

Her cold smile made the others uneasy, and none of them dared to meet her gaze.

"Fine. I know you all have your own struggles. I'll figure out the breakfast problem myself."

"That's great! Jingwen, you can't let a catch like Zhou Yang slip away."

"Yeah, Jingwen, you're so outstanding—you'll definitely end up with Zhou Yang."

Li Jingwen was the most beautiful and socially adept among them. If she could secure Zhou Yang, the rest of them might gain some benefits too.

"If you two end up together, you might even get out of this miserable border zone in the safe district and climb straight to the top."

The girl had barely finished speaking before another friend elbowed her, shooting her a glare of disgust, as if scolding her for being thoughtless.

They were all stuck living on the fringes of the safe zone for life. If Li Jingwen climbed the social ladder and moved away, who would they rely on?

Li Jingwen ignored their petty scheming.

Everyone had their own agenda—no one was truly naive.

If she had a chance to leave the border zone, she would never let it slip away. That had been ingrained in her since childhood.

A few casual words from her so-called friends wouldn't change that.

Still, they had raised a valid concern.

What about the breakfast and homework? Without those, what excuse would she have to interact with Zhou Yang?

Zhou Yang wasn't like Qin Siyang, an orphan who had never seen the world. His family was among the wealthiest in school—even the principal greeted him warmly whenever they met.

Having studied male psychology, Li Jingwen knew she couldn't just throw herself at him. That would only make him feel disgusted.

But for now, she couldn't think of a better way to fix the situation.

Grinding her teeth, she spat,"It's all that damn Qin Siyang's fault."

"If I ever find out who snitched, I'll rip her mouth apart."

Meanwhile, Qin Siyang sat in the back row of the classroom, completely indifferent to Li Jingwen's affairs.

Right now, he just felt incredibly at ease.

But that peace didn't last long.

Because once again, he thought of Liu Dazhi.

"That disgusting maggot."

Qin Siyang cursed under his breath, then suddenly remembered—he needed to go sort books at the library.

Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well head over.

Qin Siyang made his way to the library.

"Teacher Zhu, I'd like to continue working as a book manager here. Would that be possible?"

The library manager was a kindly retired female teacher, rehired by the school to oversee the facility.

Though they called it a library, it only had three bookshelves and a few small tables—just enough to pass government inspections. There weren't any useful books, and few students ever borrowed them.

Teacher Zhu, sympathizing with Qin Siyang's circumstances, had offered him the low-paying job, hoping it would improve his life in some small way.

In Qin Siyang's memories, both in his past and present lives, Teacher Zhu was one of the few bright spots in his lonely school years.
