In Chen Yi's mind, Fox Baji is one of the few talented demons in the Demon Court.
Pine Wood too.
They transcend Chen Yi's stereotypes about demons.
Wild, fierce, and irritable—none of these can be seen in Fox Baji. On the contrary, it is wiser than many of the Human Race.
Or rather, intelligent.
The wisdom of demons is attributed to their long, extended lifespans, accumulating what they have seen and heard.
Just like Pine Wood, it has lived for seven or eight thousand years, and although its cultivation is not particularly high, no one can deny its knowledge and experience.
At least when the first "Taiyi" of the Human Race to resist the Demon Court was mentioned by it, Chen Yi no longer underestimated it.
Irrespective of the opposition between the Human Race and the Demon Court, it is merely a respect for an intelligent creature.
