I have the opposite thought, i think they are enjoying the shenanigans and is actively encouraging it.
The entity seem to actively be monkey pawing anything that offends the MC.
( as seem with people like Josephs daughter, the fat shopkeeper and the knowledge vampires )
But when they don't the entity generally seems to be helpful to anybody respectfully asking MC for help or advice.
( as seen with Ji Zhixu, Laowneg, Joseph and the loli elf and a few more )
it has to be fully aware from the fact it does act on its own ( like with the fat shopkeeper )
And with how powerful it has been shown to be...
It either enjoys the madness MC is causing with his misunderstanding.
Or it is so eldritch in nature its hard to tell what its endgame is and just does whatever it wants.
